i'd reset CMOS with the the card in the slot, maybe the bios didn't detect it, then uninstall the sound drivers with drivercleaner or similar program, the reboot, install the new drivers

Ah crap! Now it's not resolved... I have a new problem: now the computer is seeing the PCI device as a "multimedia video controller"!

Ugh. I read in my mobo manual:

Pretty good English for a mobo manual, eh? That's Asus for you. Anyway, my motherboard has 2 PCI slots. I am only using one of those. Ah, I don't know what to do as of yet... help?

Ugh. I read in my mobo manual:

| When using PCI cards on shared slots, ensure that the drivers support "Share IRQ" or that the cards do not need IRQ assignments; otherwise, conflicts will arise between the two PCI groups, making the system unstable and the card inoperable. |

Sorry you should have copied the link from the first post over in the m2n club thread. That will make it easier for members to see your first post.

Well it seems I have found evidence that links the dirt to the very hands of Creative. The threads posted below are the evidence.
Looks like I need an RMA.

What a bummer. I'll read the second thread a bit more. It's very long.

Update: okay, card installed FLAWLESSLY on older PC but it's DEFECTIVE because the analog sound output was totally wacky.
I have been issued an RMA, but it might take 6 weeks!

sigh. At least I might get a better product (newer than XtremeMusic, by my agreement with that possibility)

LoL I could say, "Any chance you guys might send me a sound card that's ACTUALLY better than the XtremeMusic? One that doesn't suck would be nice. Oh, it also has to work--that's super important for me here. ONE more thing: you think you could make that a PCIe card for me?"

Wait, would that even work for me? What if I wanna use dual gfx cards? Those cards each take two slots' room!!

Ugh... wait on our board, that would still leave the PCIe 1x slot open! lol ;-P

I have 2 x 9800GT OC cards and they only use a single slot. So the fraffix card you have to choose to use will vary depending on manufacture.
Good Luck,

Trust me, try it anyway.
Its about the IRQL assignment on all PCI devices. That includes PCI-E and PCI.
