Creative's drivers and software suck. I just spent an hour trying to get my old SoundBlaster ZX working in my Xeon.
Installed the latest drivers, no go, installed the older driver from their site, no go.
I get sound when the drivers are unloaded and requests a reboot.
When the software is installed, windows boots with no sound, the Sound Blaster Pro Studio window takes forever to come up and then it doesn't fully load, it's just a blank window, and the mouse just shows the blue rotating busy icon.
I don't sit at the machine much so I don't really need a sound card in there since I was using my Sennheiser USB headset and a Plugable USB audio card, but since the SB ZX is just sitting around I figured I'd slap it into this machine.
