Sound stops working randomly? (SoundBlaster Live!)

Hi guys. I just recently installed a SB Live! Xgamer to replace my Vortex2 card in my bp6 dual box running W2K Pro retail running the latest driver from creative labs.

I have noticed that after about 10 minutes of running either a game or WinAmp, the sound will just die (and leaving a low humming on). Or worse, some games will just crash the system). Now I remember that I read in this forum before that some people were having problems w/ SB Live! and W2k in general. Is this problem common among people? Is there a solution for this instability?

I don't have any problem (and have SPDIF working too) if I dual boot to Win98SE...

The drivers are basically crapola. We'll have to wait a month (or two) before we have solid hardware level functionality out of them.

I pulled mine and replaced it with a $50 CL SB 16 in the interim.
