    Exclamation Stereo surround and EQ for A1 & A2 users!!!

    If you have the latest WDM 0.441(EAX4.0) drivers, give this a try. I just tried this on my A2 oem and it GIVES you stereo surround and a 7 band EQ. (not CMSS) It actually works! Click on Speaker Settings and then use the CMSS 3D Selection drop down box and select Stereo Surround. Voila! Credit goes to SBAudigy2ZS on 3dssforums who posted this.

    WARNING: It seems my mode is permanently set to stereo surround even when I turn it off!
    EDIT: I just switched to 2.1 speaker mode and then back to 4.1. Now it works fine. I can turn stereo surround on/off properly. No problems NOW!

    I find the difference is. CMSS2 adds a slight midbass boost over Stereo Surround. You hear more thumpiness. It also draws more attention to the subwoofer on my Z560's. (muddies bass a bit)

    is more bass necessarily a bad thing though?

    If it's sloppy, ill-defined, boomy bass, then yes it's a bad thing. (think $300 Sony mini system)

    Deep and quick bass is the way to go! Aka. Your Ultra's sub.
