With the card in, did you disable the onboard sound using the bios?

the Soundblaster Live is better than this onboard card, and it should give you better fps too. Try to put the card into another PCI slot with less IRQ sharing, sometimes that helps.

soundblaster is better hardware-wise BUT it causes some totally stupid problems like scratches etc that piss ppl off. So if you experience any weird popping and scratching sounds from your speakers, diasable SB and go with the onboard card.

At that price yeah I guess so.
I bought an Audigy 2 ZS platinum myself and am not disappointed one bit (really brings my speaker system alive - and I haven't experienced any of the problems you might hear of on the internet). But I've installed an original Audigy 1 & 2 for friends in the past and they still had that same effect on me so for that price I'd take the 'plunge' - but I myself would buy one of the newer models (you don't need platinum though unless you want the front panel).
