1.	Solve : Sound Blaster Audigy Sound Card?
Answer» Hi, I just reformatted and most is figured but my sound card. I have an SB Audugy (1) Sound Card. I had a lot of trouble finding a driver that would actually MAKE it play any sound. I finally got one that worked, but it works badly. Whenever I play an MP3 or my alerts on MSN Messenger go off, it makes this really crackly screetchy sound. It must be something to do with the software. If there is any update software, do you think it could work, and where could I find it?
