| First off, please verify the following:
1) Onboard sound is disable in your BIOS settings
2) The drivers you installed were for Vista (says so on the CD), not for XP.
I'm asking the second because the shelf-life of products can extend for several months and even though you buy a product today, it was actually boxed and shipped six months ago -- when very few sound card vendors had actual Vista drivers.
Also, there were recent updates for the Vista drivers. The most current version (which came out in November) is v 2.15.004. Please confirm that you have that version of the drivers.
Finally, plug in headphones to the Front-out jack on the back of the card and confirm that sound comes out when you play a 2-channel source (i.e., mp3 file).

| Did you check this using headphones as well as the speakers?
Does the audio SW include a panel for testing the sound output?
