I can't hear the dialouge in fe

I upgraded today from an integrated realtek soundcard to the x-fi gamer. Amazing card I can't believe how great it sounds on my head phones. Anyway whenever anyone talks in fear cut scenes/in game radio/anything I can see them talking but I don't hear anything. I have the in game audio turned up all the way and I've tried turning up my headphone volume up all the way and it doesn't work either. I've also tried turning off all of the other sound except for voices and I still can't hear it even when I turn it off. I was really looking forward to playing fear with all of the nifty 3d audio this card has can anyone help me? I've also updated the driver to the most current version.
My specs are:
Windows XP SP2
8600gt gpu
gb ram

Out of interest, what codec was needed?
I have just tried to play 3 of my games - Medieval II, Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter and F.E.A.R. All have no sound... well there are a few feint sounds, but not what it used to have. Even the bootup screens like NVIDIA, Ubisoft etc. don't have sound.
Windows has all its normal sounds and some games are unaffected.
I uninstalled the Audigy 2 ZS and reinstalled, nothing's helped there. Device manager reports no problems, dxdiag reports no problems. Obviously the card's working, but there's some other driver/codec issue/conflict.
Cheers,
Nick
