My experience is a bit different.  I have a new DELL XPS R450 with the
Turtle Beach Montego II (OEM) and the STB Velocity 4400 TNT (OEM) running
Win 98.  I've installed the latest drivers from Dell as well as the A3D 2.02
files. My problem isn't that it won't play A3D sounds, but that I get sticky
sounds.  A sound will play and it will get stuck and replay over and over
again.  After a while, the game will just lock up.  When I switched back to
non-A3D, it plays fine and I notice that I've been missing sounds
(footsteps, etc...).

Just curious if I'm a loner.
