gduns,

I'll try to help you setup your Audigy Card:
Go to Start, All Programs, Creative, Audio HQ. Now open Options & check both Load on Start up & Show Icon on Taskbar.

You now have the shortcut that needs to be explore!

If you took the latest driver & software you will enjoy the good sound and all of it's possibilities. You can use your card for changing Pitch, Reverb, Midi Sound... Keep in mind that it takes time & lots of patient to understand all of it's capabilities, but once you get the hang of it you'll enjoy.

Hope this helps
Regards
