Creative MultiSpeaker Surround (CMSS) is a feature in Sound Blaster audio cards as part of EAX technology which allows stereo upmix from various sources such as MP3, WMA, or Wav to become 4.1, 5.1, 6.1 or 7.1 channels surround sound, depending on speaker setup and sound card model.

Hi guys and welcome to sevenforums, i haven't got a soundblaster, but an x-fi, so the advice below may be useless to you! Try downloading the 'creative console launcher' instead - it's very much like the audio control panel, but prettier and has a few more comtrols in it - you can find it somewhere on the creative site, in the downloads section. That has an 'enable bass redirection', crossover frequency and subwoofer gain buttons (and a decent eq too). Make sure you also have 5.1 selected in the windows sound control panel too. And bitbauer, do you use CMSS-3D? Set it to stereo surround, and that should wake up your woofer, and rear speakers too, if you play with the stereo envelopment slider.
As i said above, all this would work for an x-fi, not sure about soundblaster live. SUCESS INSTALLATION for Creative SB Live!
