Please provid guidance on PC Sound Configuration

I have bitten-off on a new PC that is purposely a Photography-first machine, but I've tried to configure it in a way that will support at least a glimpse of HTPC capability.

Specs:
Intel i7-920 Quad Core Processor (2.66 GHz)
8GB RAM
1 TB HD
Creative Sound Blaster Titanium Sound Card (24-bit, 96kHz output to 7.1)
1 GB ATI Radeon HD 4650 Video Card (DVI, HDMI, VGA)

Please give me some guidance on how to best set this up. Anyone with specific soundcard experience would be tremendously helpful.

Thanks,

Mark

If you are using X-Fi Titanium, in the Creative Control Panel, set mode to recording, enable bit-perfect playback, disable any XMS3D surround settings, make sure speakers are set to speakers even if you are using headphones.

If you play games, you will want to return to game mode before you launch your games or you will be missing EAX effects.
