are these burned/copied audio discs?

also some more specs on the computer would be helpful

Right-click on a MP3 file and select "Open with" then select Nero,make sure to check "Always use this program....".

so when you play a downloaded mp3 or whatever it does it too?

try to play something that isn't/wasn't copied from your cd drive

also make sure you have updated audigy se drivers:

and lastly make sure your sound card isn't in the immediate first pci slot after your video card slot

that slot usually shares a irq or something like that, that can interfere on your mobo

Have you tried disabling the autoplay in the Audigy software.
