1. This is a known bug in some motherboards. The BIOS disable of onboard sound doesn't work. It's a warranty issue.
2. Sometimes a BIOS update cures it. If not, a warranty issue.
3. Leave it disabled in the BIOS, let it install in the device manager, disable it in the device manager, install the latest Audigy drivers then reboot, shutdown, move the Audigy card to another slot, boot, shutdown, boot and re-test.
There is no cure for item 3. It seems we PC owners seem to be looked upon as "hoop jumpers" at times.
4. Make sure that the drives are in DMA mode. XP owners get am extra step in they get to set it to PIO mode and back to DMA. The only problem is, many will look at the settings, but never perform the procedure. It's an oddness that people seem to believe the setting.

This is a tuffy so beware.
Say i'm playing a game of Ravenshield. Now the sound card seems to work fine for a little bit then it all goes down the drain.
I'l get garbled sound, real bad clicking, and my comp literaly freezes for 2 or 3 seconds alot while the sound screeches or garbles up.
I get good FPS ingame and its all smooth untill that hapens.
I have a E-machines.
p4 1.3 with sse.
640 rambus ram.
400FSP.
Geforce 4 4600 ti.
Oboard BAM\midi sound. AC 97.
Sound card is, Audigy 2 zs.
I tryed turning off onboard sound in the Bips but to no prvail it instals itself and the driver everytime I boot.
It exst in hardware profiles But i just turn it off from thier. if i delete it it returns.
This is realy bugin me.
