Yep.  I’ve actually been playing it with regular (stereo) sound without any issues.  In fact, with my receiver simulating surround sound, it even has some birds chirping in the background, which I was pretty impressed with by itself.  Now, I’m interested in finding out if there’s any way to get the EAX functioning, as well.  I’m okay with having to buy a sound card and have separate connections in order to get it working, but I’m not sure if it’s even possible.  I was reading about Creative’s “Alchemy”, but I’m not clear on how it might fit into this scenario.
