Nice, thanks for the heads up.

Speaking of which, does anyone know if there is list I can add or something I can download to update Alchemy's built in profile list? Creative hasn't updated Alchemy since August 08. I know I can add games manually to the list, but then it's a matter of trial and error to get the settings right.

I actually tried looking for something like this thinking maybe someone out there was bored enough to actually go in and experiment with ALchemy settings for games but so far i've come up with nothing.

I think it has to do with the fact that the settings for buffers and voices and whatnot are far from consistent from game to game. I couldn't imagine someone having the patience to go load their one game over and over again for hours and hours to find out if it was better with 4 buffers or 8 buffers.
