Not a solution i'm afraid, just to let u know that i'm having exactly the same problem with the same M/B soundcard combination.

The solutions are basically these (to try in order):
- try to upgrade motherboard bios
- try to disable Promise raid controller
- send the x-fi to Creative labs... they will flash a new firmware version that should work better with nforce4 mobo...
