Windows 2000 Server, ABIT BH6 and ATI All-In-Wonder 32MB AGP 4X/2X Version and Sound Blaster Extigy/Audigy 2 NX

Previously, we reported that our Windows 2000, ABIT BH6, AiW 32MB, and
Extigy (USB) setup had a perfect TV picture, but major sound problems. The
voice and music volume was extremely low and covered by loud buzz/hiss
interference. We were told AiW 32MB TV sound would not work on an ABIT BH6.

After reformatting the hard drive and reinstalling Windows 2000 Server to
improve our system, we installed the Extigy and the newest AiW drivers and
software expecting only the TV picture to work, as usual. Surprisingly, the
AiW TV sound worked perfectly! We thought the AiW TV sound problem was
over. As we continued to rebuild our system, we installed three additional
USB components (one scanner and two printers) and minimal software. We
later discovered that our TV sound was back to the loud buzz/hiss
interference and no decipherable voice or music at all.

We thought that maybe the additional USB components were some kind of drain
on the Extigy, so we recently upgraded to a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 NX (USB)
to improve overall sound performance. The Audigy 2 NX did not change the TV
sound problem. Thus, we are going to reformat, restore perfect sound, then
try to determine which additional device or software kills the TV sound.

Does anyone else have a better approach?

Sounds about what I would try.
Let us know.
