ok, i just got my (new) montego II sound card, and i popped it into my comp, and set it up accoring to the instructions on www.vortexofsound.com for windows 2k. i get no sound. at all. same thing happened before (except under windows 98), thats the reason why i returned it.

anyone have any clue? i know its not my motherboard, because it worked once upon a time. this is the 3rd time ive returned it, and i dont think it's defective...because diagnostics say otherwise.

also, whats a good sound card for under $100?..needs to supports A3D and 4 speakers (if it can't, still tell me). i tried going a couple of other forums and asking, because are 455h0l35. and the place i bought it from (www.mwave.com), their tech support didnt help much...

[Edit] i also tried NT4 drivers, and those didnt work either
