edit: if you cant get it out stick ur other sound card in another slot disable the value one and you will be fine.
Lol, you wouldn't be saying this if it was your mobo. Easier said than done.
For the guy who said why upgrade from a Audigy 2 Value? Because the Value as no sound processor. It is the exact same version as the Audigy, but no sound processor. It's like an Audigy LS, same as an Audigy, no processor. Works fine if you have a P4-like CPU or AMD XP, 64 where bottlenecks of CPU usage will become almost negligible.
As for the card, I'd suggest you contact tech support for the mobo if everything you've tried doesn't cut it.
**USE AT YOUR OWN RISK:
You can try using an oily substance like Vaseline. Carefully use a very thin stick to insert the vaseline into the PCI slot, on both sides. Then lightly rock the daughter card, pulling outwards. Continue rocking and slowly pulling the card, holding it from as much of its edges as possible, as someone mentioned earlier, you don't want to pull off transistors or any small peices. The card will eventually come out after many-many minutes of rocking and pulling. When you're done, use a powerfully thin vaccuum tube to suck out any excess material within and around the PCI slot. After that's over, clean out whatever vaseline has gotten into the slot (and the daughter card).
