Summary: Creative Failure x2
Review: This is the second Creative product I have gotten in the last 4 months that has completley bombed. This soundcard sounds great, it has some great software but it's as plug and play as my atari 2600. On a clean windows 98 install I found out what was wrong with it. It was having a pci conflict and a irq error. It wanted irq 5 which wasn't a problem but it was odd. I tried it in a few other pci slots and still no go. I tore out my USR 56.6 and bingo it worked. I put the modem back in and re-assigned a few things. It kind of worked. But basically it only works at 100% if I kept the modem out. Which is fine and dandy if I didn't just buy the modem. So the card went back. Hey, it sounds great but I talked to about 6 techs who all had the same problem with it and who all had to re-assign settings to get it to work. But like Creatives burner I don't have the time to mess with settings. When I pay money I want it to work the first time ;).

I'm going to try a yamaha
