Using the beta drivers from Aureal does nothing. I have the same problem with a xitel (vortex 2). All you can do is just wait for the next release and use the bootleg eax support for now.
ABIT BE-II with the latest bios
Initio 9100UW with Teac 532s (Cdrom) and Teac 56s (CDR) on PCI Slot 2
Guillemot Geforce SDR on AGP
Xitel (Aureal 2) soundcard on PCI Slot 3
Ethernet Card (3Com) on PCI Slot 4
Whenever I try to access a cd from my cdrom drive, the system freezes and then continually seeks on the cdr drive. Anyone have any suggestions on why this is happening?
