Audigy 2 problem

[Peter]

I have Win XP home.Recently I bought Audigy 2. When I
plugged it in the computer worked for about 5 minutes
then it froze and made the squeaky, metallic sound.I
returned the card to the store, downloaded new drivers,
reinstalled windows, reinstalled drivers and nothing
helped. When I asked the creative service for help they
told me it have to do something with the IRQ settings of
my card. How can you change IRQ in win XP???Any help
would be appreciated.

IRQ settings are supposed to be shared in XP... see:

A General Description of IRQ Sharing in Windows XP

It's far more likely that there is something else configured incorrectly.
Did you disable any onboard sound in the BIOS before you installed the new
Audigy? Did you uninstall any previous soundcard before you installed the
new Audigy?
