still reverting to software.

i need to be able to try hardware to see if it fixes my no rear speaker prob with 5.1 sound

I just confirmed this myself. Sound Blaster X-fi Titanium reverts to software (even if 128 voices can be selected and maintained). Try running-as-admin and Vista compatibility mode in Windows 7; still software.

Edit: On top of this, if I look "Back + Left/Right", the sound starts glitching a bit and can't seem to determine where it should come from. It bounces between "Front" sound and "Left/Right" sound. Even looking straight over the wing continues to produce a sort of "rapid wobble" in the sound.

Having the same issue. Windows XP 32 bit. Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme. I seem to have some crackling in my sound, not sure if that's related to it being set to software or not.

Problem still present in .44.
