It's not a hoodlum problem, but a Rockstar bug. They detect the AC97 as a SB EAX card. Happens with the original CD.

Anyway, the AC 97 worked fine with 95% of games. I'll keep the Audigy, though, for the remaining 5%

Thanks for the help!

So I should buy a second sound card and try it. I got a Audigy 2 ZS in my FX workstation.

Postal, if the game doesn't work with an Audigy 2, then I guess the soundcard isn't the reason. Before you get a new one, try setting the hardware acceleration to minimum (Run dxdiag, rider "sound").
If the game still crashes, it's unlikely that your Audigy is responsible.

The audigy 2 isn't in this comp. Its in my workstation comp which is nice and beefy for maya 6 rendering.
