Ahh....the Extreme Audio, a card thats basically a nerfed X-fi varient. A LOT of known issues with that card...

As per my recommendations with Creative cards: Use either the Daniel_K or PAX driver packs, and never again use the default Creative drivers. My second recommendation is to ditch Creative and actually go with a good brand.
