[SOLVED] Sound Blaster Audigy SE (PCI)

[ronb1955]

Don't know if its the Sound Blaster Audigy SE card crashing or what but sometimes windows 10 freezes and buzzing sound happens.
This card is old I know, are there any newer card that will work with PCI slot..motherboard is Asus Z79-AR

Thanks for the links to the drivers, but I was looking more into a newer card

The page I linked states it's for the Audigy SE.

So do you have Audigy SE or no?

Yes, but I'm thinking to replace the card

Use the onboard sound card, and if possible, think about replacing all your system. I cannot justify your needs, but the thing is as of 2021, sound cards are becoming rare, and rare means expensive and for professional needs, and PCI is an old standard. So it is a dead end. But you can buy an USB sound card, there are cheap alternatives, and more expensive ones. Never tried one, so no recommendations.

If you really want a sound card, go with a PCIe one.
