Well I just sold my chaintech av-710 to a user here like 3 days ago. This was because I couldn't stand the ever buggy drivers. The sound quality was good though.
The main problem was that whenever I wanted to play music I had to enable "stereo expander" to get it to play on all my speakers (7.1). I didn't mind this except for the fact that if you left it on it would screw up anything that was originally mastered for surround sound. This could be games/movies etc.
So to the point, will the driver's for the audigy 2/4 allow me to have on the "clone mode" for stereo signals and automatic detection of real surround sound, without changing modes manually?
Also I read that the Cmss?(sp) feature on those cards makes music into some converted form for 7.1 speakers. What exactly does it do or better yet does it sound good?
