[AG-TECH] RAT does not detect Creative SB X-Fi Surround 5.1 audio device.

[Mike Lake]

Hi all

I am not able to detect the Audio Device under RAT/Options/Audio.
Hence we have no sound. This occurred last week, we don't know why yet. 

We are using AG 3.1 on Win XP.
Sound card is a Creative SB X-Fi Surround 5.1 which appears fine under Windows, Sound & Audio Devices lists it as OK, we can play Beethoven from the speakers fine using Windows media player. 

(There is an AudioMax device on the motherboard that is disabled, if enabled it appears fine in the RAT.)

I found a post here with a similar problem:

Seems no reply to that problem.

I have reinstalled Creative SB drivers, have reinstalled AG 3.1 but still RAT cannot detect the SB driver in its drop down list box.

Suggestions most welcome. I'm at a loss.
