Promise Ultra133 TX2 driver issues

[Hackworth]

The Ultra133 TX2 Driver 2.00.0.43 driver causes my sound to sputter and
crack on bootup. The 2.00.0.42 driver did not do this.

I'm running Windows XP SP2 with a Sound Blaster Audigy card (w/ latest
drivers). My system has a Pentium 4 2.4 GHz and 512 MB RAM.

Any idea what I might try to alleviate the problem and still use the newer
drivers? I've had to go back to 2.00.0.42 for now, so it's not a big deal,
but the newer driver allows my system to boot a lot faster. And besides, I'm
a geek and would really like to get the newer driver to work right
regardless.

One thing I had success with is moving sound (if in a slot) or
controller to another slot. I have had this type of problem when
two devices shared an interrupt. Moving a card may place
it on another interrupt, but do check whether it does.
