Neil,
Thanks a million for the link. I got things working using the generic NGOHQ
driver. I was about to give up on it though because it wasn't working when I
clicked the Digital Output check box. Turns out that I had to install the
software for the Soundblaster Audigy 2 sound card even though my card is the
Soundblaster Live!.
When you are installing NGOHQ, it looks like the Audigy 2 box is selected by
default so I selected the check box for Soundblaster Live!. In doing so I
think what happens is drivers for the Audigy 2 get installed instead.
Reversing this process will install the correct drivers. The NGOHQ install
is either mixed up or plain confusing.
At any rate I had to adjust audio properties to get rid of the audio noise
but it works good enough to be acceptible. Thanks for everything...
