Sound is staticy. Help!

I installed the drivers on my installation disk of my Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 CD, but the sound is staticy. What is the problem?

Can you elaborate a bit more?

What type of speaker setup are you trying to use with this card?
Do any sounds play or is it pure static?
Does this static happen when your computer first starts booting or is it only after Windows has loaded/starts loading?
What happens if you uninstall the driver, reboot, let Windows install whatever it wants, and reboot?
