    After a bad experience trying to get Audigy Advanced MB to work with my Windows XP install, this looks promising. But, is it worth the $25? Do you uninstall the Sigma Tel drivers first?
    Thanks!

    I just tried it, so far, pretty dang good! If it keeps working correctly, I might just say, yes it is worth the $25.00. Will have to try out some games and movies next.

    And all I did to install, was install it, reboot and it was good to go.

    Thinking about it but wanted to clarify....did you uninstall Sigma Tel driver BEFORE installing Sand Box? In other words, does this replace the Sigma Tel drivers??

    It does replace the other driver, in a way. But NO you do not uninstall your current audio drivers.

    How it works, is the SRS Sandbox becomes your Windows "Audio Device". But your current audio device is what "pushes" the audio to the Sandbox.

    So "Your Current Audio Device-->SRS Sandbox-->Speakers"

    And if you do not hear a difference you are doing something wrong.

    Thanks guys. I have the downloaded program, just wanted to make sure before I installed it as I've got a clean copy of Windows XP that I don't want to pollute with junk.
