Have you tried different slots?

also did you make sure you uninstalled the old card and disabled any onboard audio n the bios?

I figured it out

It did this to me before when i first bought the card, i just reinstalled windows and it did it again so was just curious as to why it might be doing it. I loaded it all up and works fine now, is just real sensitive it seems. Thank you all!

I had this EXACT same problem...The way I got it working correctly is (you may not want to do this...) I formatted my HDD..(it didnt have much on it anyway..) and i had to install THE SOUNDCARD DRIVER BEFORE my VIDEO DRIVER...believe it or not...it works fine when I do it that way...

It may also depend on your O/S. It should work ok out of the box for 98, 2000 (maybe), but definately for XP you will have to download patches from Creative Labs for XP.

yea..i should have mentioned that i run win xp pro..and it had a couple of updates for the sound card...and it actually had a driver for the CPU...weird...but true
