XP + Audigy = trouble?

[alc101ma]

Has anyone experienced trouble with games using WinXP Pro and SB Audigy? I think the Audigy software is making one of my games crash (America's Army). I know this isn't really a forum to post about games, but I have found this to be the best place for good info.

Here is a link to details if you have any ideas:

I'm currently using XP Pro SP1 with Audigy Platinum and have EAX, Remote Centre, and updated drivers from <A HREF="http://www.americas.creative.com/support/files/download.asp?Centric=207&nLangID=1&sDestURL=http://www.americas.creative.com/support/files/download.asp&sRef=http://www.americas.creative.com/support/welcome.asp?centric=207" target="_new">here</A> and have only expeirenced distortion in BF1942 title screens. Other than that works OK

In the past when it was first released, yes. Today? No.

Make sure you install the drivers only from creatives site and not over older versions.. preferably over a clean install of XP.
Thats how mine is and absolutely no problems.
