X-Fi Fatal1ty PCI sound card not detected on Asus P8Z68 Deluxe
I have a very weird problem regarding a old PCI X-Fi Fatal1ty (one with front 5.25in I/O bay) soundcard.
The soundcard detects on my old motherboard, Asus P4C800-E Deluxe (running WinXP Pro SP3), but does not detect on my P8Z68 Deluxe (Win7 Pro x64).
I have already disabled onboard sound and tried the other PCI slot (there are 2 PCI slots on the Z68 board), nothing comes up after boot.
I then tried the PCI soundcard on my neighbor's board, a Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R and it also does not detect on this board (pheew!)
How is it that this soundcard detects on a prehistoric AGP motherboard and not on either modern boards?
*note* This soundcard is known to act up on my old AGP motherboard when I remove the parts for regular dusting. When I pull the card out and put it back in after maintenance, sometimes it will not detect and it takes a few shutdowns (shutting down and removing the power cord) and reinserting the card before it becomes detected again.
