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 recently upgraded from a SB Live! and the damn thing wouldn't work properly. In the end I uninstalled it and remove every single trace of creatives software on my rig, inc registry editing. The Aud2 card works fine now. U could be having software conflict probs from the old card and absolutely everything needs to be removed from your rig in relation to it. Could be a mobo prob too... My GF FX5800 does not conflict with soundcard and I'm not aware there are compatability issues over this. Check with Asus forums, support sites to see if it could well be your mobo. Good luck, ~Carl |

"Just onboard sound" You need to make sure you've disabled the onboard sound device and it still would be a good idea to remove its drivers, even if they're not Creative's. -- chainbreaker If you need to email, then chainbreaker (naturally) at comcast dot net--that's "net" not "com"--should do it. |
