Does anyone know how to get a sound card to work in Vista

When you go to device manager make sure you dont have both enabled if you do
disable one if you done that already what version of media player are you
using? you could also go to your system properties and try disabling sound
enhancement, its hard to help without knowing what program you are using to
play music with!

just about any sound program causes the problems. I have problems in games
and music players. Bioshock works great for about 10 minutes then the sound
starts to crackle and pegs out like and amp with the sound turned up all the
way.

WMP and my vcast player fail to play music. Works for about 5 minutes
crashes. When I fire up pinnacle tv, the same thing happens with the sound.

I have installed and uninstalled the sound cards half a dozen time. This was
a clean install of Vista. I have only one of the devices enabled and it
still fails. both the on board and the audigy card give me trouble.

thanks for your help

hey,

Click start, type "msinfo32", press "Enter", expand the "software
environment", click on the "windows error reporting", copy error reports to
this post, I will help you to figure out the problem as far as I can.
