Ditto. Creative's lousy driver support alone is enough reason to steer clear of their cards. Audigy isn't anything like it's cracked up to be -- I ought to know, having owned several. I was expecting a night and day difference, what with all the "processing power" of the Audigy APU. Not so. Then the driver nightmares and Creative's ridiculous PlayCenter crap drove me right away.
Santa Cruz is still the top consumer-level sound card.
