Thanks Folk but I am in the UK the best price ( from a known very poor 
service dealer) is nearer $64 I have bought an Audigy off ebay in the 
meantime for much less so long as I can hear the monsters coming I will be 
happy. I noted the feedback Creative never seem to have given a crap about 
customer service I did throw out a couple of older SB cardsbecause I never 
thought I would need them-wrong!
