Default Update re Sound Stutters

Following on from the earlier thread about my sound problem, I have
completed a clean install of WinXP Home as a dual boot using Acronis
boot manager.
With only WinXP and the newly installed Audigy2NX USB sound card running
(on board sound disabled in Bios and no drivers for it installed) the
problem is exactly the same - all sounds are grossly distorted.
No problems in XP device manager, all drivers WINXP certified.
Could there be a component on the motherboard MSI 875PNeo that could be
causing this?
As far as I can tell everything else on the PC works perfectly in WinME.
I haven't installed anything else on XP yet.

Any further help gratefully received.

Stephen

Oh dear - this does look, in this case, as if it's a hardware problem.

Which slot is the sound card in? - try moving it away from the AGP slot, as
these are sometimes locked together.

Default Update re Sound Stutters

The sound card is a USB device, not a PCI card. I chose this option
because I couldn't get either a Trust or a Creative PCI sound card to
work, or the onboard sound.

Ah..........has the 'onboard' sound been disabled?? There may be a conflict
between the onboard sound and the USB device. The disabling of the onboard
sound may be as simple as changing/adding a strap to your MOBO or a setting
in the BIOS, check with your MOBO maker to be sure.

Thank you for your reply.

Onboard sound is disabled in the Bios and no drivers have been installed

Just a thought, from
http://www.creative.com/products/pro...t=910 3&nav=4

Under *Minimum* Requirements, although it states that it is WinMe
compatible, it goes on to somewhat ambiguously say :-

Available USB port (USB 2.0 port required for USB 2.0 support)

Is it 'fully' compatible with USB 1.1 ? Does the user manual/help/support
offer any further advice?

Do you have USB 2.0 on your PC ?

If not, it might be worth/necessary to fit a PCI - USB 2.0 card. Won't do
any harm anyway, especially with a couple of (much) faster USB ports g

Just a thought g

I have USB 2 on both ME and XP.
The device is connected to the Enhanced USB controller via a USB
composite device.
The user manual does not offer any help and the Creative diagnostics
programme that came with the device shows no errors.
The Creative web site didn't offer much help either.
