I don't know if this applies to your situation, but the Audigy 2 Platinum is EXTREMELY picky about how the drivers are installed. During your original installation, did you cancel the Windows new hardware installation and run everything from the included CD? I know I didn't and I had BIG problems. I hope this helps.
