Finally got my new sound board and duly installed it, with great trepidation, as I had so much trouble a while back getting the onboard Soundmax 4 to work in Vista although I eventually succeeded.
Prior to installing I tried uninstalling Soundmax from my Vista partition...wouldn't go via the Installed Programs route. I uninstalled it in the Device Manager. I disabled onboard sound in the BIOS also. (Not sure if that was really necessary - maybe someone can advise me on this?)
Installed the Vista drivers for SB Audigy 4...work a treat.
Then I decided to go the registry route and remove as much Soundmax as I could. Most of its gone now.
So far - so good!
(P.S. I got a weird board error when posting this...but it posted anyway...?)
