After much distress I gave up an installed 32bit Vista, only to find the VERY SAME issues reproduced. The unit is fully operational, having been tested under Vista-32bit (roommate's laptop) & used extensively by myself in OS-X. So, i'm fresh off the Apple experience and trying to make a happy transition, would greatly appreciate any help I can get from seasoned PC users.
The express card itself should be fine, as it was used to test operation on my roommate's laptop. Since I seem to be able to install the drivers properly - and given that the issues persist across operating systems - I assume it must be a hardware conflict specific to the TX2Z. The TI-card has IRQ 16, and after disabling all possible devices on the channel it still shares it with PCI standard PCI-to-PCI Bridge (which causes the TI-card to disappear if disabled). Is this normal? The card had its own channel on my friends laptop.
Sorry for the scattered details, windows audio is a whole new world for me and i'm doing my best to soak it in, but have yet been able to enjoy quality sound since the transition from Apple
