Hey all! I'm wondering about this supposed incompatibility of the Sound Blaster Audigy and VIA chipsets. I have a VIA KX133 mainboard and ordered a Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum earlier this week. About 15 minutes after I placed the order, I heard of this compatibility problem. However, no one has mentioned if it happens all the time, if it can be worked around and how severe the symptoms are. I have a Sound Blaster Live! which is supposed to have problems too though I have never experienced any.
Basically what I hope you guys can tell me is, does this problem happen all the time (i.e. is it guaranteed to happen to me) and if so, is there a workaround for it or is it a driver issue? My supplier will refund my purchase of the Audigy bu tonly if I don't open it first. So I want to know whether or not I should try to install it or just send it back right away because there's no point in trying. Can anyone help me out? Thanks everyone!

Those boards don't employ the 686B do they? I don't believe they do (I think the KT266A has a different southbridge), but does anyone know? If the KX133 isn't affected, I'll definitely throw the Audigy in here and see what happens.
