man, you don't need a second soundcard, especially with an audigy 2. i also had the bleed problem back in the day and solved it by turning down one of the volume levels in the recording volume settings in your task bar. I can't remember the specifics but it's so simple you'll cry. you of course have the right drivers for your card. ... it was something to do with hearing the playback from your recording program or from one of the levels in the volume control. ... not too much help, just mute em all until one does the job for you. volume control is key though, that i'm sure.
