*sigh*

No one's even interested?

By the way, I can come up with dozens of ideas as to why not to do any specific configuration or to use any specific addon... it's just like "What can't Adam Corrola complain about". If you don't know or don't want to try that's fine - but why knock the fact that I want to? I have 5.1 channels of sound... and although you may not want to use them I might want to.

But if you absolutely must have a reason... Take "Stupid vehicle quest 22" - I have alt2 running around far away from my group and I can't hear a darn thing. Makes the game REALLY fun. Instead, I hear the clink-clink of the blacksmith near my main ... and take off the headphones because it's so annoying. (For those that are humor impaired ... this quest does not, in fact, exist). Do I need this to play the game? No. Actually I can't think of many situations where any sound is needed at all. You can always make the arguement that paying closer attention to the screen will give you all the information you need.
