Driver Installation Order

I have an AIW Redeon 8500 DV, and an Audigy Gamer card, on a Soltek SLDRV2 motherboard (via KT266A chipset). Since the day I built the system I've had some trouble making the sound and video work together properly (I have all the latest drivers). I've heard that my problem has to do with the installation of the creative "mixing board" driver (may not be the proper term). Somehow it is corupted. Anyway, from what I understand the only way to solve this is to wipe the hard drive and do a complete re-install (win-XP, Home edition). My question is whether or not there is any particular order in which I should reinstall the drivers. I know the Via 4-in-1 goes first, but then should I do the Radeon or the Audigy? Does it even matter?

Round the world and home again, home again...
