Any A8N-SLI'ers running Audigy PCI sound cards fine?

I'm thinking of installing my unused Audigy 2ZS since my system seems stable and is on XP SP2, running smooth by the way.:)

I've not had any problems with mine. With my configuration I had to put it in PCI Slot 2 (the middle one) to avoid having it share IRQ's with other hardware so you might try that slot first to see if it's the same for you.

No problems. Install Windows first without the Audigy, then the chipset drivers, and then install the Audigy and drivers.

I think this is the key. To get everything up and running first, then install the card. ;)

Doing fine with an Audigy2 ZS in an A8N-SLI here as well. Mine is in the middle slot. Can't remember if I had it in from the start or put it in later though.
