I have just installed a Soundblaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio card to replace my
on board sound card on my XP SP2 system. I am not clear on how to
activate the crystallization and virtual surround sound features on the
Sounblaster. Is it done automatically or do I have to do it manually via
software? If the latter, where are the settings?

Also, how do I access the Entertainment mode I have read about in various
places on the web?

I assume you have installed the X-Fi software ?.

Are you ready ?

Start\All Programs\Creative\SB X-fi\Creative Console
Launcher.
Hover your mouse over the items.

Thank you very much. I found the Crystallizer and Virtual Surround Sound
and enabled them. The Help function said to use the Mode tab to select the
Entertainment mode but there was no Mode tab. Perhaps it is somewhere other
than the Audio Console.

Thanks again.
