Help! Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE 7.1 Sound Card - OEM

[Ionis]

Hello. I've just recieved my new soundcard. It is the Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE 7.1 Sound Card - OEM. (Located here: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...atid=11&subcat=)

My motherboard is a Asus A8N SLi se.


Now, I have put it in my motherboard, and just tried to install the drivers. I got an error though. It said "No compatible creative product detected." So I downloaded the drivers off the Creative site, and that did not help either. I disabled the onboard sound in the BIOS, and yet it still did not work. I tried plugging in the soundcard into each of the soundcard ports on my motherboard, and none of them detected the card.

I am sick of using onboard, and would like to get this problem fixed.

Some additional information:
The back audio/microphone ports on my motherboard never worked. I have been using the front sockets on my case. I see cables running from my motherboard to the front of my case. Maybe one of those cables need to go into my soundcard in order for it to work? I'm not sure which though, so I didn't try it, just incase.

Here are some screenshots of what I'm getting. They might help.

Now, I have no other creative parts in my computer. So this should be the soundcard, right?


Thanks in advanced for any replies.

Just an update.

I right clicked on the "unknown device", and updated the driver. It locked up my system. Well, not totally. I could still do stuff with my keyboard, but my mouse was turned completely off. My mouse is USB, and my keyboard is ps2. So why did it turn off my USB Ports? I also lost connection to the internet. (USB also)


Then when I restarted, I couldn't boot windows normally. So I removed my SoundCard, went into safe mode, and saw that the "unknown device" turned into "Sound Blaster 16." So I removed the device, as I thought that was the reason for my "cold boot" or however you call it, and it worked.
