3D? EAX? Hardware effects? Distorts MUSIC

The reason I usually use "Software" mode instead of "3D" in FMOD / OpenAL is that music gets distorted when some effect is being in effect. For example, when you swim below water. Half-Life has the same problem (yes it has CD music but consider somebody running mp3s in the background). I don't assume there would be an easy fix for it, as I believe it's a hardware effect on the whole "WAV" out channel...

Hm, I have to test this. I can't remember ever having had this problem; while I have been using EAX for years. (First on SB Live! Value, Then SB Audigy Gamer and now SB X-FI ExtremeMusic)
