I hope your friend gets it worked out. I will let you know if I have any problems and any solutions I find.
Keep in mind, his card is about 4 or 5 years old, and the main problem is that Turtle Beach decided not to upgrade the drivers for XP when it was released. They turned the the drivers over to Microsoft, and MS made a generic XP driver for them which has worked fine for my friend until NWNs.

He ordered a SB LIVE! 5.1 from www.newegg.com for $32 with free FedEx shipping last night, so he'll be playing by the weekend.

I did alot of searching on the NWN boards, but there was very little help for TB cards, so I'll recap what I learned in case you do have problems. The prefered method was to upgrade to the latest TB driver for your card(if they have one for XP). The second method was to "roll back" to the OEM installed driver(didn't work for my friend). Another method was to use the generic XP driver for the card(didn't work for my friend either). My friend's method was to buy a new card

If you have a newer TB card you should be ok.
