Audigy 2 ZS + Windows 7 (subwwofer and more)

Hello,

I have an Audigy 2 ZS + Windows 7 and I'd like some help in configuring this driver. I installed version 3550 but i'm having some problems:

1. Playing MP3s - really loud clicking sounds
2. Playing MP3s - only have stereo sound (i'd like all my 7.1 speakers to work, including the subwoofer)
3. Via Control Panel > Sound, when i "test" the Master Mixer (my default device), I can hear all my speakers, except the subwoofer
4. On kX Mixer, when I ask to test the speakers, they all fail with a "Failed to create sound" message.

Can anyone give me some help on this?

1 & 2: Try changing buffer sizes (Settings -> setup buffers). Then I'd make sure Surrounder+ plugin is set to "5.1" and "surround" to "on".
Possibly changing to another output device (for example Wave 4/5) would help too but then I'm not sure if 7.1 sound will work properly or might need rerouting in the DSP.

4. Is a known bug, don't worry about it.
