I'm making this post (which will hopefully be stickied) for anyone who owns a Creative sound card that wants to have EAX enabled, the sound positioning for this EAX corrected, and for sound in movies to be enabled in Thief Gold. The link below is for a dsound.zip file which contains a dsound.dll and a dsound.ini file that you need to extract to the Thief Gold directory.

You will also need to have Creative ALchemy (assuming you run Windows Vista or 7).
1. Run the program and click "Add" in the middle of the window.
2. Type in "Thief Gold" for the Game Title box.
2. Click the "Use Game Path" radio button and browse to your Thief Gold directory.
3. Copy the folder address into the "Use Game Path" box.
4. Leave all other settings at their defaults.
5. Click OK.
6. Click on Thief Gold in the Installed Games list on the left.
7. Click the ">>" button in the middle of the window. Thief Gold should now be in the right hand side, in the "ALchemy-enabled Games" column.
8. Close the ALchemy window.
With both the dsound replacement files and the ALchemy fix, you should now have perfectly working sound in game and in cutscenes.
If anyone can post these files into an alternative location, that would be grand.
Cheers!
