I think I made a boo-boo, I upgraded to DX8 when it came out last week and I
noticed last night (post patch) that the sound affects for monster
environmental sounds (clicking beetles when they walk, noises when you hit
them etc.) were so faint I could only hear them if I put my ear right next
to my speaker. I could, however, still hear howling wind and birds chirping
and my own avatar's footsteps. Another weird thing is I could only hear
spell sounds when someone cast the spell on me...It was an eerie night in
Hate, too quiet.

Maybe someone has some advice, I would hate to have to figure out how to
back out DX8 manually that seems like a bad task.

I am using a SoundBlaster Ensoniq PCI64 soundcard which came with my crappy
HP Pavilion 8280 when I bought it 2 years ago and I have never had any video
or sound problems before in EQ or anything else for that matter.
