Front/Back channels randomly switch. #226

Has anyone had a issue where the Front channels will switch from playing on front speakers to the back speakers? and vis versa.

THIS happens almost exclusively when playing videos or webvideo content.

Rather odd issue I've seen happen on a few machines I've used scream on. And the host machine still has the channels assigned and working correctly so it must be the windows scream driver?

Still a issue. Watching youtube video and audio will move around from rear to side to centre channels. Seems to be exclusively a issue with video files or web video so far. Games don't cause this issue.

I suspect that games don't trigger this behavior because many games will use as many audio channels as they can, while youtube is usually stereo or mono so doesn't use all your audio channels.
