Sound Card going bad?

[Foxtrot]

I have an Augidy 2 ZS that is under a year old. A couple weeks ago it started making wierd squeeling sounds while I was playing BF2, and it would throw a few odd clicks in aswell. I uninstalled my drivers, and updated to the newest ones and that seemed to fix it, but now I am getting the same problem and I have no idea what is wrong. It does it on my headphones and my speakers and only seems to affect BF2...

My headphones do it too, atleast they did last time I had this problem. Right now I am trying to test it out again.

As simple as this may sound, if your Audigy sound card occasionally Squeals (on Win2000), check to make sure your Drive Bay Audio Drive has power to the device. Otherwise, this squeal can be very annoying and occur randomly under Cubasis which ships with the Audigy! Normal audio / midi playback does not seem to affect the Audigy without power to the front panel Audio Drive. Just check it to make sure (3/29/2002)!

Some Users are experiencing major problems with the Creative Audigy on WinXP flavors. We have tested the Audigy on Win2000 + SP2 ONLY and have successfully used this combination. We suspect the problem may be the WDM drivers on WinXP since this Squealing / Lockup problem does not appear on WinMe.

Not a clue, best I could find.

It used to do this to me too before I got my new HD, the drive was full of junk and pretty slow and it used to do it when It was really working, like when I opened an hd intensive app or a huge folder. Well it fixed itself when I got my new HD and all the software and stuff was fast. Could have been something else, but it fixed itself when i got the new HD

Without you doing anything at all? Not even banging the case or something?

Did you turn on EAX and enable hardware sound processing whatevers in BF2?
