Ok, I finally got this sorted out. I had Dell's OEM card, which turns out to be substantially different from the retail version (despite being advertised as a SBLive, and manufactured by Creative). It handles DSP via software (GRRRRR!!!), and according to Dell will only work (on Windows, of course) using their own proprietary drivers. In essence, the @#$%! thing is a WinSBLive.
I've replaced it with a retail version, and all is working properly. Since this was a new system, I plan to return the original for credit.
