Hi there :)

Just got my install up and running yesterday.All went well so i thought,but the sound on this board is terrible

I started off with my audigy 2 in,and the onboard sound disabled in the bios.
When i tried installing the drivers for the card,the mobo would reboot half way through the process.

When trying to install drivers again on reboot,I get a message telling me to uninstall previos drivers before installing new one's?But there's no sign of drivers in windows to uninstall?

There was also a unknown pci device in device manager(presumably my sound card)

All this went away after taking my soundcard out and installing onbaord sound drivers and re enabling back in bios,but the sound is garbage(all crackly and distoted)

I would like to reinstall my audigy,but dont wanna go through all the problems of above.Has anyone had anything similar happen to them with this board?
Sorry for the essay,but I wanted to put as much info as possible down.
