XCOM music mod - trouble w/sb audigy?

I just tried the xcom music mod and I love it. Aftermath is a terrific game, but the XCOM music is worlds better.

 

But when I play for 20 minutes my sound card dies. Then I leave the game and can't play any sound file - I get a 'problem with your soundcard' error. I reboot and everything's fine.....until I play UFO:AM for another 15-20 minutes.

 

I have a Soundblaster Audigy 2 NX card - it's a usb card, which may be an issue since this problem seems to kill my usb port as well. I know, it sounds too weird to be true, but it's very repeatable.

 

For now I've gone back to the UFO music, but I'm interested in any suggestions!

I haven't heard about this problem before, does it happen without the mod?

 

The problem goes away when I remove the XCOM music mod. Creative does not update the drivers for the Audigy 2 NX very often, but I just dloaded the latest (Feb 05) drivers. I haven't tested extensively, but it seems to solve the problem (no promises till I've had more time to play) Looks encouraging though!
