Sound card linked in my sig

If I play music for a long time it suddenly statics out and just starts buzzing.... heavy distortion of everything

Whats going on? Driver issue? Hardware failure?

Sounds like a hardware issue. I would contact Creative about an RMA. But just try uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers to be sure.

Back of the card wasnt even remotely hot

Check this out: I run my finger across the back to touch it, nothing... Suddenly my headphones emit an earsplitting loud beep. I'm rebooting the comp right now to see wth happened but doesnt sound good, computer froze during shut down

I switched from Windows 7 Beta driver to the Vista 64bit drivers with Vista compatibility enabled and I no longer have any problems. Also, my COD4 lagging issues seem to have mysteriously stopped as well


Oh well, that's that!
