Sometimes it shows in the device manager, some times it does not. If it shows up in the device manager, it will usually BSOD on me if try to launch anything that plays a sound etc. |

No point in spending $$ on more hardware if its simply corrupted drivers someplace. Booting from the Linux CD by passes the windows operating system. |

| 829541 | 2009-11-12 07:36:00 | No idea if this is related but I have the same motherboard and three days ago it blue screened with stop 124 as well. At the time I was in Win7 RC1 updating the media library and playing one at the same time. I was using a stand alone sound card. I rebooted and got the same screen. Messed about for a while trying to fix it and the the computer would not boot either into WinXP or Win 7. I gave up and restored an image of the WinXP and Win7 I had done the day before. All been good since. |

| 829542 | 2009-11-13 00:30:00 | openSUSE recognises the card, but the sound is corrupt unless I turn the volume right down (~25-30%) and raise the sound with speakers, in which case it works decently. Which makes me wonder, but then again this issue is not unknown to happen with a pulseaudio. Sweep: Yeah, I have no images, so I'll probably be doing a cleanup and ditching Win7 for good XP or even Vista (never had any problems here). |

| 829543 | 2009-11-18 03:30:00 | Ok, so I went out and got me a new Audigy... Installed the drivers, and... BSOD... So looks like I wasted 90$ for nothing. Any ideas on what I can do other than reinstall windows to sort this nightmare out? New card works perfectly underSuse, like the old one didn't. |

Turning it to full volume is fine in Windows, but in Ubuntu - severe distortion. That doesn't mean your chip is faulty, in fact it probably isn't. I would blame drivers Try drivercleaner? |
