Win XP beta 2 and Hercules Game Theater XP

somato

I just installed the Hercules GT in my computer. It works fine in win me and win 2000 but doesn't seem to work in win XP. Tried the default win XP drivers but the sound quality was terrible. Upgraded to the win 2000 Hercules drivers and I now get a high pitched screeching sound when I play any type of sound.
