DVD Audio problems with Audigy2

[Phaethar]

Ok, so I just picked up an Audigy2 over the weekend. Everything is working properly with it except for the DVD Audio sampler disc that came with it. Putting that in brings up the program correctly and plays the disc, but the sound is very garbled, sounds almost electronically distorted somehow. Sounds almost slowed down a little.. it's just messed up. There don't really seem to be any threads about this, and very little information at all from looking around. So, I'm kinda stuck now. I've gone over the little bit of information there is and made sure I meet all requirements. Beyond that, I'm at a loss. My system is:

Soyo Dragon K7V+
AthlonXP 2100+
512 MB DDR RAM
Radeon 9700 Pro
LG 16x DVD-ROM drive
WinXP Pro w/SP1
Audigy2 retail

I've updated to the most recent drivers from the Creative website to no avail. I've made sure that DMA mode is enabled on my drive. Everything seems to work, it just sounds really bad. If anyone has come across this and has some insight, I'd be grateful.

TIA

I had a similar problem but it also affected gaming & mp3's. I moved the sound card to the lowest slot in my cpu and voila, problem gone. Might be worth a shot

I'm sure you've turned all the eax enhancements off, the one in particular i'd suspect would be the time shifting one,
but if everything else plays fine then its probably not that. Have you done the full removal and reinstall into separate pci
slots as well.

All i can think of is maybe check to see if the previous drivers for the old sound card were removed. They probably are, but just a shot in the dark.

I have moved the card into different slots, and actually kept the one it's in as it isn't sharing an IRQ with anything else, but it didn't make a difference being in the different slots. I also just reinstalled windows this weekend too, so I know there aren't any old drivers that could be causing a conflict. Audio CD's work alright also, it's only DVD Audio discs (or at least the sample) that causes a problem. I still am going to try a different audio cable to see if that's the cause, and I'm also going to try setting up the DVD-ROM on it's own IDE channel too, so it's not sharing with my burner. Other than that, I'm not sure what else to try. Others seem to have had similar issues in the past... just haven't found a solution yet.
