Call Dell and scream for a replacement for the card. The version "OEM-ed" for Dell has been crippled and won't use the audigy2 drivers. Seen it before and had to yell until the customer was sent a replacement. I don't remember the details, but I know a Dell supplied OEM Audigy2 ain't the same as an off the shelf version. Ah, here we are. Copied from a bugzilla report that confirms what I thought I remembered <g>: "The problem with Dell's Sound Blaster Live is that their new computers ship with sound cards that have the DSP chip crippled so that all sound processing functions take place in software rather than hardware (like a WinModem). Creative and Dell have no solution to this, but I got Dell to send me a replacement Sound Blaster Audigy 2."
