    Exclamation High-end system with Audigy 2ZS - sound problems!

    System info:

    PC Chips Mobo
    Sapphire Atlantis Radeon 9800 Pro 256Mb (AGP video card)
    Windows XP Professional SP1
    Intel Pentium 4 3.2Ghz (HyperThreading enabled)
    Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2ZS
    1GB RAM

    Well my sound was working fine before, though it did snap and pop sometimes, but it never cut out. One day I decided to try and upgrade my sound drivers - not even checking (out of laziness) to see if I already had up-to-date drivers. After installing the latest drivers, my sound crashes after playing a game for about a minute - same with movies and songs! it pops, crackles, snaps, pauses, halts, screetches, beeps, buzzes, and annoys the living $%^* outta you.
    THE BEST PART: I already had the SAME driver version! I installed the SAME drivers over themselves!

    Rolling back drivers did nothing...

    I'm totally confused - if I installed the same drivers then how could anything have changed enough to make my sound that corrupted?


    help!!!

    Why not try and installing the drivers that were working before?

    as I said, the drivers that were working before are the *exact* same drivers that I installed. The latest Audigy 2 ZS drivers are version 5.2. I already had version 5.2, and the sound was working! Then I got a random idea to reinstall my drivers, not knowing they were already up-to-date. Reinstalled the *same drivers* (version 5.2) and now the sound cuts out after playing any media including games for about a minute.
