Audigy 2 Wont Work!

First off my system uses an Asus motherboard. And I am running WIndows
XP professional. I recently bought a Audigy 2 OEM version sound card.
I installed it and all I get is jumbled noises when theres supposed to
be sound.. also it still says theres an unknown PCI-Input device not
installed, even though it is installed. Also when the card is
connected to any pci slot I cant reboot my computer!( I can shutdown
fine but when I reboot it just hangs..) I then installed the card on
another system which was also running windows xp pro AND IT WORKED
FINE! The only difference I could think of was that my machine has an
Nvidia Video Card and an Asus Motherboard, and my chip has
hyperthreading technology. SO... does anyone know how to fix this
problem.... is the card broken? I dont think so... is there a way to
check if my pci slots are broken or something.. any help would be
great. Its been 5 days of tryng to get this damn card working

I had the same problem. I too have an asus mb (P4PE). I had very low
distorted sound no matter what I did(different slots, different irq's)
adn never got it to work. Plug in my crappy sblive value and I get
sound without even rebooting. Finally sold the card to someone else.
I tried it with a fresh install of xp and a fresh install of 98 and it
made no difference. The newest drivers seemed to make it worse.
Good luck
Keep us posted if you get it to work, I'd be interested
