Reducing the number of x-post groups would help you get more answers I
should think. However, my method is described below. (I'm in
creative.products.sound_blaster.live.music by the way)

I find this problem is very annoying. My AWE64 was much easier to use.
What I've done with the Live card is make an EAX setting with 50% chorus
and 50% reverb. Now when I play soundfonts, the effects can be heard and
can be altered/multiplied by using the relevant MIDI controllers (91 and
93 IIRC).
The trouble you've found is that WAV files will also exhibit the reverb
and chorus. What I now do is not use any WAVs with my sequencer (I put
them all in SFs) and if I am recording the midi tracks into Cool Edit for
example, I play them with EAX on, then when I want to edit the WAVs I have
to disable EAX. It seems like the only workaround. The built-in windows
sound effects sound mad with effects on them, so I tend to disable them
with the regular control panel.
