I recently installed an Audigy 2 sound card (to replace a SB Live! that
was causing problems) and every now and then it seems the driver gets
trashed. What happens is sound from the system stops being processed
(like sound effects from a game or voices on Ventrillo) but whatever
last few seconds of sound were loaded into the card get run over and over.

Windows notes no error. In order to fix the problem, I have to shut down
and reboot.

So I am interested in knowing if there are people out there happily
using the Audigy 2 ZS (I bought the Gamer edition) with no problems or
if there are people who have experienced problems with this card.
