CS:S , help with sound.

[SAJ]

Im wondering if someone can put me straight here.
Im using a sound blaster live card, and Im not sure if somethings wrong with the card or the source engine.
In the options screen, should I get an option box for eax?(the only sound info refers to miles sound system)
At the moment , sound seems totally screwed, in the test speakers page the "left" and "right" sounds are really faint.
In the game , gunfire is deafening, but footsteps sound like they belong to ballet dancers sneaking through a cotton wool factory .

So does anyone else have similar problems ?
Does everyone(using hardware sound) get eax or a3d options? Or just miles sound?

I use an Audigy and it sounds the same to me. I think it's just how the game is supposed to sound...

I use Audigy and this is what it sounds like for me too.

I do not think its supposed to sound like this.
