Yeah, that's it...
Well, assuming its the only soundcard you have, it seems to be alive, my dead 1212m didn't show up there.I remember there was an issue with some audigy's eeprom being overwritten, I wonder if the same applies to e-dsp cards.

The problem centers around people not being able to install the Creative update
or the Creative XP-CD. The installer reports :
"Setup could not detect any Sound Blaster card on your system.
Please ensure that your Sound Blaster hardware is properly installed before running
this Setup program."
When you have experienced this, your card 'may' have become defective

The R132 resistor
Someone found out that some of the replacement Audigy's sent by Creative have 1 component more on the card,
which may explain why some cards work and others become defective again.
To identify the working revision, hold the Audigy card face up, with the backplane to the left
and the PCI slot pins to the bottom. At the lower right-hand corner of the Audigy board
are four capactors in a group standing straight up to a height of about 1/2 an inch off the PCB.
These are numbered on the PCB as C154, C160, C166 and C177. Now immediately above this grouping is
a very small capacitor numbered C172. On the working Audigy's in the space on the PCB
immediately to the left of this is a small black square approximately 1/8" square standing a similar
height off the PCB. On the non-working Audigy's, this component is not present.
