Hi,

After reading the archive here I decided to install a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz sound card in my new computer last night.  I removed the drivers from my existing sound card (on the motherboard) and de-activated it.  I then installed the Sanat Cruz as specified in the instruction.  I set it up on MMTTY.  All worked great.  I even worked VP2ENK on 20m RTTY.  I turned off the computer (had to go back to work).  When I got home I turned on the computer.  It wouldn't start.  System recovered from a serious error (I choose go back to the last know working setup).  When it did start the Sanat Cruz was no longer installed.  I tried to reinstall it and it wouldn't.  I reinstalled the motherboard sound card and everything was back to normal.  This morning I tried again, this time with the intentions  of installing it as a second sound card.  As soon as I turned it on the computer it would not start.  I removed teh card and it started fine.

So, Does that mean I have a bad Santa Cruz card?  Anyone else have a problem with these cards?
