Hi! I have this SB Live! 24-bit sound card which proved to be the reason my computer the last three weeks experienced seemingly unmotivated reboots.

Ok, I have a great home theater and just built a "home theater PC" (HTPC). I purchased the Creative Audigy 2 ZS for the HTPC, on the hopes that the card would communicate 5.1 surround sound information to my home theater, for DVD playback and enriching MP3 playback. One of the value-adds, in my...
