While the title may suggest that I'm talking about the game, I'm actually here to talk about two sound cards that I have had die on me for reasons that I don't understand. As it stands right now, I have had both a PCI X-Fi Xtreme Music and a PCIe X-Fi Titanium stop working correctly after running the game with EAX on.
The Xtreme Music is currently sitting unused because it just spits out a Code 10 when connected, and in the rare instances that I actually get the driver to function, it doesn't actually output sound.
The Titanium seems to partially work, in that the drivers seem to function, and I am even able to get sound out of it when windows is starting up, but the moment that I enter Jedi Outcast, I don't get sound from the game, and suddenly don't have any sound devices according to windows. What is stranger still is that the windows sounds, the ones that accompany things like error messages, can still be heard despite windows not reporting that there is a sound device.
As a bit of extra information, the game has also started to run at an absolutely abysmal framerate for me since these sound issues started happening. Even the menus are running at sub-30fps, and in certain scenes, I'm getting 3 fps on a 7900 GTX. These issues may not be related, but are too coincidental for me to not mention them.
