Its a ca-106 based card, and considered to be the same junk as the average 
winmoden.  Take it back and get a real audigy 2 or 4, without the SE 
label.  The model SB-400 version of the Audigy 2 uses the std emu10k1 
driver and works great, including playing midi stuff.  I have one, but I 
think they are out of the box houses pipelines now.  Darnit.
