Okay, I've got a SBAudigy, and I was initially impressed. That was the first week. Then I started getting random crashes, clicks and pops when playing DVDs, and a whole plethora of other problems including, but not limited to, my S/PDIF playback dying, the AC3 decoder dying (or at least working really, really terribly), the inability to do certain things or play certain games because it would seize up the entire system, the non-Windows friendly surround sound selector ("no hardware acceleration? well then, no surround sound either, even if you choose surround sound speakers in the Windows mixer!"), the crappy AC97 codec for the front speakers, the false 24-bit claim, and the inability to load large soundfonts (like Fluid3).
So, do you think the Audigy is the best thing since sliced bread, or do you think it's an absolute piece of shit that should be thrown in the trash or beaten with a hammer or blown up in front of Creative Labs' R&D department?
Oh, FYI, information:
Petition to get better support from Creative Labs (including fixing this damn problem)
Yes, it’s my fault.
