Hi adventureisdead

The Sound Card Aureon 5.1 USB Version as you know is external and it latest driver Version is 5.11.3.3508 > Here as your not coming off PCI i would download the driver to your desktop and shut down all Anti virus, malware, spyware or if you want to be sure of a good driver take install in safe mode, as for your sys file do you have your OS disk ?
