Re: audacity 2.0
I was just looking at Device Manager for the sound card. Under drivers it lists 16 different files. That sounds not normal to me. How would I know which one to replace?

It's normal to have multiple driver files for the one driver installation. If you install a different set of drivers the installer will update all those driver files.coolmanhuber wrote:I was just looking at Device Manager for the sound card.

I think the first thing you should do is see if the official Creative hotfix applies to you.

Re: audacity 2.0
My final resolution involves two strategies: (1) Load Windows XP on my second hard drive, then install the Creative Technologies software, then install Audacity 2.0 and see what happens. (2) Establish a Restore Point for my current configuration, install the Creative Technologies software and pray. If Audacity works, fine. If not and the computer suffers a meltdown I supposedly can restore it to the state it was in before I installed the sound card software. I say "supposedly" , because I'm not sure what actually gets saved during a Restore. I think option 1 is the safest route.
