My Terratec EWX 24/96 card has been working flawlessly since I got it in February this year. Today when I started up my computer it froze when it started up, which is unusual since this system hasn't had that issue yet. When I restarted Windows said it found new hardware which is quite unusual since I hadn't installed anything new since last night and then the installation of that device failed. It turns out to have been my Terratec sound card and I have been through everything I can think of including reinstalling the drivers, resetting my ECSD, turning off unneeded devices to free up IRQs, and through lots of restarts to no avail. Windows just says "Code 10" "Device cannot start" in the properties for the card under Device Manager. I am baffled by this since it worked fine all this time and nothing has been changed on my system since last night. I have never had a sound card go bad, but this is leading me to suspect that this thing might be bad. Any suggestions?
