[Short Hand]

OK !. I bought the audigy 2 zs... It is in mint condition, no damage, transit was safe ect, installed the latest drivers, ect.. NOw here is the problem, on my speakers (creative t7700's), all I hear is this horrid scratching noise, and faintly in the background you can hear the music, just barely, and it sounds distorted and as if it is fluxing..... I have fooled around with the channels to no avail, muted the other outputs ect..to no success.... & it is running in analog with the speakers, not in digital mode (like it should be for my speakeras...).. The card works great on my headphones, sounds quite decent I must say, but when I hook up my speakers well..... I get that issue.... If you have any solutions, please post in detail, I have been using Turtle Beach & Hercules products for the past 7 years... Not creative.

(i also swapped pci slots, ... this did not fix the problem.
