What kind of problems do Audigy cards have with VIA chipsets?

I've heared time and time again that SoundBlaster Audigy sound cards have problems with motherboards that have the VIA chipsets (more specifically, the 686B south bridge), and I happen to have purchased an Audigy card and popped it into my MSI motherboard with a VIA 686B south bridge. I read articles and posts on the forums about this, but I can never find an answer to these questions when I read:

1) What kind of problems can I experience?
2) Does it occur with all motherboards with VIA chipsets?
3) Is there a good chance it will happen to me?

My motherboard's an MSI K7T Turbo Limited Edition with a VIA KT133A chipset, in case this information could come in useful.
 
this is a really really really old issue, older than the audigy card .. its known as the "686b creative bug" or whatever .. as far as I know it has been correct, and newer via4in1 includes the patch .. hope this helps ..

Thanks alot for your help and advice! About a minute after I posted, I got a BSoD because of my Audigy card. I just installed the new VIA 4-in-1 drivers, and everything's fine now!
