Not sure how many of you use or have used Alchemy & snd_legacy_surround for Counterstrike, but I'm having a lot of issues with it despite following the very simplest of guides.
 
I get distorted sounds, delays and no sound at all for a split second.
 
Headphones - AKG K701
 
Soundcard - Creative Soundblaster Z
 
Alchemy -
Buffers=5
Duration=10
Path C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive
Rest was left as default.
 
dsound.dll & dsound.cfg are both in the default directory where the executable is.
 
Playback device (Sound Blaster) is set to 5.1.
 
In-game is set to 5.1.
 
snd_legacy_surround "1" within the .cfg file and set to Read Only as I was told it would overwrite?
 
Anyone have or had this problem or know what is causing it?

CS:GO can give you good sound accuracy without using dolby surround, I would suggest switching to stereo
