gduns,
before I help you set up your audigy card, please make sure to download the latest driver & software from
www.creative.com
What version of Audigy? Did it come with a cd? If yes, did you installed everything?
By the way, check out their new USB Audigy2 NX, it's a perfect fit to any laptop running an MTU software.
Can't wait to see a promo on this new product!
