I think the key for the CX7 is external speakers and/or the Audigy card. The sounds on the CX7 is good (I know a lot of jaws dropped on that one - especially with my comments), but I think my issues are centered around the speakers....

Yup. That was exactly what I was talking about above. That standard answer in support of getting drivers for their graphic cards (or atleast their chipsets). The third party sites are almost always a better bet. Me... I am still using...
