You've probably already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the soundmax driver. If not, shoot for the most recent version, which appears to be available at this link: http://www.dfi.com/support1/Beta%20Site/driverbeta.htm If they're offering updated drivers it's likely that earlier versions were generic to microsoft OS's and you will be better served if you use one which is better suited to NT specifically.
