first i thought it was my 5.1 set - but connecting the headphone jack to a proper receiver (the one i use to connect to via spdif too) output of the headphone jack mixes both channels. the annoying left front talking right front lady keeps shouting from both speakers the same. rear channels would always be the same i think both channels talk on right back surround to me and the front channels seem to have a mixup with the centre, subwoofer channels.

this started happening after upgrading to the beta driver/firmware posted here. i did that because dolby live would not work properly with the "standard non beta drivers" (although they are neither a finished product)

this soundcard is really getting annoying and i will most probably return it this week and trade in for a creative alternative. all these years i had no problems with audigy cards.

the Phoebus is a no go in software quality. looks like the chinese chaps coding for it jumped from some building like the poor *******s at foxconn and left us rotting with this piece of c#!$%p
