Can someone PLEASE send me the below mentioned registry patch to get A3D sound
working in Half Life? I visited a3d.com and the version of the patch (2.02)
that's posted does NOT include it. I have a Diamond MX200, and Half Life
refuses to keep the 'Use A3D' box checked (console tells me A3D failed).

MANY THANKS IN ADVANCE!
