I thought I'd post this as I saw this question posted quite often everywhere, but the only answers ever given were update the drivers and reinstall the card.

Well, I searched around here and a couple of other forums, and I googled this extensively, but I could not find a solution online. So I started messing with it myself. The fault seems to lie in either cthelper.exe or ctsysvol.exe loading at startup... I noticed that the settings would change as soon as they loaded as prcesses. I disabled both of them in msconfig, and the speaker settings no longer reset on reboot!!

You don't lose in functionality... if you want to be able to adjust volume, just reenable the windows volume control. The only creative processes I left running are ctapr/ctmodutl/dllml

Hope this helps somebody.
 
Huh...I've never actually had any trouble getting multichannel sound in games, regardless what the Creative driver setting was 😱?
