Customer has just had a full hard drive wipe and reinstall by a reputable PC shop.
Now fully repatched to SP3.

Issue remaining is getting sound to work.

Ex MS MVP (me) doing final tweaks on box.

Where can I get drivers for this sound card?
SB Audigy 2 E800 Card.

No drivers from http://support.creative.com will work.

Tried auto-update, no joy, suggestions, tips, pointers appreciated.

Yup, original installation CD's didn't work, there is something that is just not working.
Volume works, hisses though, at best.
When you say "mixer" - *define* please.

I'm beginning that the sound card has gone tit*s-up.

Nada - Creative Support is not user-friendly, at all.

We need to see the list of what you have already
checked. E.g. most motherboards come with
Sound on Board, which means the BIOS has to
set this item OFF before a SB card will work.
(Que publishes good checklists in PC Help Desk
in a Box.)

I'm assuming that the customer no longer has the install CD that came with
the card? Can you call up Windows Volume Control; i.e., is a mixer
installed?

Have you reinstalled the motherboard chipset drivers? These may help.

Haven't ventured into the BIOS or MOBO yet, as this would be last-ditch.
