Pros: it works only if it doesnt have any kind of IRQ conflicks. which i have finally figure out how to do it. i run a asus a8n32-sli-deluxe mobo. i use this procedure to fix it: use driver cleaner pro then Download newest Chipset Drivers, but do not install yet * Download and install any BIOS updates * Reboot and enter BIOS * Set what you want, disabling any stuff you never use (whether it be firewire or midi or whatever) * Reboot to Windows * Uninstall all drivers related to sound and video (the b******t apps that go with it too) * Run Driver Cleaner Pro and multi-select all video and sound remotely related to your hardware (I select everything under manufacturer name) * Reboot TO SAFE MODE (keep pressing F8 during reboot until you get the menu choice) * Run Driver Cleaner Pro and clean the same things you just cleaned in normal mode * Select CAB cleaning and clean all CABs it has an option to clean the rest continues in other thoughts>
Cons: creatives tech support is very poor. still waiting on a new driver update. to help out with BSOD=blue screen of death.since the asus mobo have alot of conflicks with creative sound cards. just check out creatives forums you will see what i am chatting bout
Overall Review: * Reboot to normal Windows, cancelling out all the search for a driver gumps * Install the newest Chipset Drivers * Reboot, enter and recheck BIOS settings (chipset drivers can sometimes screw with this) * Reboot to Windows * Install latest OnBoard Sound Drivers if seperate from Chipset * Reboot * Set Windows sound applet stuff, test onboard sound. Any pops? Should be fine * Reboot * Install Sound Card DRIVERS (non of that extra c**p) * Reboot * Set Windows sound applet stuff, test both sound sources * Reboot * Recheck sound applet settings, reboot again if you need to set stuff again (it can be difficult to get Win to set some of that in stone) * Now you can install your Video Drivers * Reboot and retest everything * Lastly, I would suggest the latest monthly version of DirectX to be installed then you should either give you a clean and working as you want it system, or give you an indication of where the problem lies, depending on where in the process
