all i hear when i turn on my computer is static. i have a 680i motherboard, x-fi extreme music, and logitech ze300 5.1 speakers. its really annoying and im about to throw my soundcard out my window.
i have to restart my comp every time to fix the problem but i dont want to have to do that everytime. i have the latest drivers and i have reinstalled my soundcard but it still keeps happening!

well i only have 1 other pci slot and id rather not put it there because i have an 8800GTS and the 8800 wont have as much room to breath.

and AnotherGuy can u be more specific? sorry.
do u suggest i reseat right after i uninstall? then after that install the drivers?
i have reseated after i installed.
