have you plugged in the connections securely? could be a faulty card or a faulty wire? if the connections are ok try another wire. if still not a lot of joy may be a dodgy card.
also try looking to see if there are any conflicts.

as stated before it sounds likely to be a conflict of drivers. in your case gumbyk i would definately say that seeing as you seem to have ruled out the possiblility of it being the cable. are you running on windows or mac guys? if windows check the device in the device manager. any excalmation marks means a problem. this problem will be indicated and you will be given the opportunity to troubleshoot. it may be worth looking at assigning another IRQ address as this is usually the cause of conflicts between devices. conflicts will mean that the product/device will either not function at all or will function sporadically and components wont work. try and let me know how you get on.

great stuff. at least all is now sorted. not sure why though a sound card would cause windows to reboot, unless there was a conflict between that driver and a driver in windows. as i will be forever saying 'if a device doesnt work check the device manager first'. this will more often then not indicate where your problem lies.

The device manager didn't show any problems, and didn't show any probs this time either. it wasn't until I got a crash course in windows XP and read the BSOD , and worked out that the file crashing was an audio driver file. Anyway, all sorted now.
oh well. still all sorted which is good.
