On a SB Audigy, since the patch, the Use Hardware 3D acceleration on the sound options no longer works. Once this is toggled, casting sound effects for spells can no longer be heard.

I attempted to toggle the Sound_ListenerAtCharacter to see if that would reset it and that had no effect.

This was working fine prior to the patch.

We have identified this issue with hardware sound. We are working on a fix for a future patch.

There is a workaround, you can use software sound, or if you must use hardware sound then set your sound channels to the minimum.

Do not lower hardware acceleration settings in windows, this will only cause problems with other programs.
