room_type 1 should minimise the echo
room_refl 0.0 might help, well atleast it seems to help me

its a feature/problem of EAX that makes sound echo as it would in that room, though generally it just makes everywhere sound like a huge church hall.

those values were already set, reset them, i still get the echo. Is there somewhere i can read about EAX? maybe there is something in there that can help. Or if anyone has any other ideas.

Okay I did a quick forum search and it appears that echoing has been a problem before for a lad who happened to have a nForce mobo just like you

It didnt really seem like they came up with any conclusive fixes, but have a peek anyway, some suggestions for improving it were made.

As always, make sure you have the latest drivers for your soundcard.

Alrighty i belive i have found the solution, at least it isnt echoing for me:

im using win xp
try this first:
open control panel
open sounds, speach, and audio devices
advanced tab
performace
change the sample rate conversion quilty to lowest setting "good"
try it out

if that dont work you need to uninstall part of the driver i was trying to uninstall it I think it was called NVIDIA audio codec 7. I got errors while trying to uninstall it someting about it being in use, then it said i need to restart for settings to take effect. After that i did the above step.
