[WriteLog] Soundcard worse after upgrade to XP

[Kurszewski Chad-WCK005]

I've been using Writelog and a Soundblaster PCI128 card since 1999 with
wonderful results.  I've recommended this card to many others, and it's
scored a perfect 7f on the sndbrdchk program.  I've used it for SO2R
ever since.  Over the summer, I upgraded my PC from Win2000 to
Win XP, then SP2.  Now my soundcard only scores a 7b, and the WlogSbControl
program now has the "Msg play level" checkbox greyed out and I can't
adjust the level slider.  For the heck of it, I've tried 10.49, 10.50,
and way back to 10.46 which was what I used last spring (no contests
since, and that was the last best working version for me).

I've gone to the Creative Labs website, and tried every driver I
could get my hands on, including older ones for Win2000.  Same poor
results.

Did anyone see similar issues with their soundcards when upgrading to XP?
What did you do?
