Updated to a new system and has turned into a nightmare, firstly this started out as an onboard SoundMAX problem in SH3, after 3 days of trying everything I gave up & purchased a sound card (Creative X-fi Xtreme PCI-E), I have tried 2 different slots but the Creative install just says "No supported devices found", I'm running XP Pro (32bit) and I am coming to the conclusion that this card is for vista only, nothing mentioned in the adds where I purchased it, the disk says nothing on it!

I think I just wasted more time & money!

The motherboard only has PCI-E slots free, can anyone suggest a good relatively cheap Sound card, that will run in XP, just not SoundMAX.

Thanks.
