Sound Card Pt. 2

Okie dokie, so I decided to buy that nice new Audigy2 ZS I was talking about. So i come home from the store, pop out the old card, realize that I had the model wrong and it was a driver issue that cause my problems... go figgure... and then pop in and install the new sound card.
I was very very happy with the sound quality and all the neato features the card has. It even came with... GAMES! Yay for games, so I pop in and install the Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield that came with it and get ready to kill some terror-whores. This right here is about the point where I get angry. When the opening sequence starts up, guess what's missing??? THE SOUND WAS MISSING!!!!!! That's right kids, Any sound that has to be read from the CD-ROM is not present in the game. Now I figgured that i should just update my drivers and patch the game. I did that, and there's still no CD audio being played in game. So I attach the CD Digital line to the drive and card... still no sound. Maybe it's just R6:RS being a bad game... so I tried it with Splinter Cell. Still no CD sounds in game. Is it just me or do any of you else think that A GAME THAT COMES WITH THE SOUND CARD SHOULD HAVE FULL SOUND?!?! I do, but i dont think the game or the card are to blame, i think it's some sort of problem with my beloved computer. If you know how to solve this, please tell me so I can sleep at night. Thanks...

P.S. I'm using the latest Audigy drivers, i have DX 9.0c, my BIOS is out of date, my chipset drivers havent been updated.

Make sure you're plugging in the CD audio to the correct thing on the sound card. On an Audigy card, I'm sure they're multiple AUX connectors.

it's a CD Digital line, so there's only one spot for it. And yes i set the drive to send audio in digital format.

Try the analog audio... And update those drivers!

I submitted an email to Creatives tech support team. Apparently just putting the card in and installing drivers isnt good enough. The guy said i have to go into safe mode, run a driver deletion prog, then adjust msconfig settings then reboot and install the card using blah blah with the widget disk and update the whats-it-nows. So really it's just come down to if I want to do that crap right now... and I dont so it goes on the back burner till after my vacation.
