uhhh...some random NIC card

so here's the prob. Installed the brand spankin' new Seagate hd. Installed XP on it. Sound doesn't work. Behaves very strangely in fact.
sometimes after restarting, the speaker will be muted. And a couple of times I went into sound options in control panel...and the little mute checkbox was checking/unchecking itself. If I try and do something involving sound, it will lag, ie taking a tour of Windows XP. Winamp will crash after it locks up.

I've disabled ACPI and that didn't fix the problem after sound was on its own irq, separate from other cards. Out of curiosity, I plugged in my two old hds with Win 98SE on them, sound works perfectly. Please help.

oh, forgot to mention something. I went to creative.com and downloaded their SB Live! Value XP drivers. When I run the file that I downloaded, it says something about not being able to find SB Live! hardware on the comp. Strange. Yet Device Manager says that it is a SB Live! Value
 
I already got the drivers, like I said for some reason it doesn't think my sound card is a sb live value even though device manager says it does. Any more ideas?
 
Rumor has it that the SB Live! Value OEM's CT4830 aren't supported in WinXP. The driver on Creative's page specifically says for models 4620, 4760, and 4670.

thank you sensor now i know why my drivers are riddled with problems

and letting windows xp load native drivers results in normal sound but no goodies

the goodies always caused problems anyway.

that driver exclusion now makes sense as i bought 3 oem sblives as they were cheap $25.00
last year and all three have been upgraded to win xp all downloaded drivers off sblive site
all had weird
ISSUES LOL

thanks for that again
