When the drivers are not loaded (i.e. when booting, restarting, etc...)
there is a terrible hum being indtroduced into my sound system. Since my
speakers are very capable, that just makes it all the worse.
As _soon_ as Windows installs the drivers, the introduced Hum goes away.
Anyone else have this problem?

If it was from external interference (which I've never experienced with any
sound card, including the TBSC I removed), then I wouldn't think the driver
loading would get rid of it.

Yea, I can't access the creative news server anymore. Even after changing
ISP's. I think they banned my MAC address. :-)
When I had the system apart to install the Audigy and the Hard Drive, I
decided to go ahead and re-locate my sub-woofer during the drive formatting.
It was too boring to watch:)
The new Ultra 5.1 sub is MUCH bigger than the original Klipsch 5.1 sub, and
it didn't really fit well in it's old location.
So I moved it, which required me to plug it into a different outlet.
In the old configuration the computer and the sub were plugged into the same
circuit. In the new configuration the sub is on a different circuit. This
appears to have created some sort of ground-loop in the system.
I used a heavy duty extension cord to plug the Sub back into it's original
location, and the hum (99% of it at least) went away.
Again, after the system boots up and windows installs the drivers, the last
1% goes away.
I can only surmise that it's because when the Audigy drivers are loaded, the
sound output jacks are enabled and the computer and sub are getting a common
ground through the audio connector patch cable.
