- Hellcats only comes out of one channel for me, too, and I have had only one
- sound problem (vide infra), other than those caused by 2 MB of INIT/CDEV
- madness. The only other game I have tried my headphones on was Maelstrom.
- While it might not have been in stereo, the sound definitely came out of
- both channels (Just because you get sound out of both channels doesn't mean
- it's stereo!). I'm not sure the si *automatically* gives you stereo in any
- case. There may be some software one needs in order to use the stereo
- capabilities; I've never been curious enough to find out (though I wouldn't
- spurn any offers of information on the subject).

- As in the startup chime being truncated on choosing "Restart"? Or
- sometimes not even sounding? (Maybe unrelated, but it still annoys me.)

- Buyer Beware! Always get a second opinion! Never trust anyone who stands
- to make a profit from your misfortune! And on, and on...You get the idea.

- Good luck.
