New Audigy 2 and sound problems

[AAvK]

I got a new Audigy 2 from Creative, I tried the original driver from the
disc first and it worked fine. Then I messed with all the settings and I
REALLY feel they need to do a redux so it functions flawlessly and is
UI friendly, I think it's rediculous as it is. Completely unstable, as far
as actual sound goes. The sounds just gets all messed up.

THEN I tried installing the "updates" from their site, and I get a message
that there is no sound card installed, of all things... anyone perfected the
art?

SO... I uninstalled all Creative drivers and installed that BETA one that is
fully OpenAL for gamers, the one working now. However...

when listening to live365 (which I pay for) or cable TV (ATI card) I get
very very little sound in right channels (using Logitech z560 4.1). There
doesn't seem to be any realistic reason this is going on, but in the devise
manager there shows a problem:

"Other devises: Multimedia audio Controller"
Location: PCI bus 0, device 31, function 5, The drivers for this device
are not installed. (Code 28) ... and, drivers are unknown.

What can I do to correct all this?
