The infamous Audigy screech of death has hit my PC...

[M16Grenadier]

Seems that my Audigy 2 Value has the infamous screech of death... Playing BF2 after some time make the soundcard start screaching from each speaker and then cause the system crash. I thought I fixed it by reinstalling the drivers, but no.


Any ideas how I can get rid of the problem? It is really pissing me off to have to cold boot my PC after playing on it for a bit.


Thanks.

Yeah, i think theres a massive issue with the original Audigy 2/Audigy 2 value and nForce4 boards or AMD 64bit processors. I had to take mine out... I'm using onboard now...

Don't overclock anything and update your BIOS and chipset drivers.

Try using the new Audigy beta drivers.

This is probably going to make me sound like a pecker, but I have an Audigy 1 and I never get any of the problems folks have with the 2 or the 4.

Is it possible that they just arent very good cards?
