I have an Aztech PCI-338 A3D and followed the instructions above. Still,
the behaviour is exactly the same as before the patch was applied: I check
the "Enable A3d Hardware" box and start the game. There are no error messages,
but there is no A3D sound either. In the Audio config section, the A3D
checkbox has changed automatically to unchecked.

I have no problems with A3D sound in Unreal, or any of the demos that
came with soundcard.

Any ideas?
