The fact that no matter what I do, I can't get my sound to work.
Nothing is muted,I've gone through and reinstalled, uninstalled, and reinstalled the drivers (probably a dozen times now.), reinstalled the sound card, reinstalled drivers after reinstalling the card (SB Live!).
Then, when poking around in the audio HQ, I noticed this:
The problem is, when I attempt to adjust the sliders in the speaker setting window... they're completely unresponsive. Can't click the little box, can't move any of the sliders up... nothing.
Help?
And none of those are responsive because of how you have your speakers marked (so none of them apply to your setup) I think. Center speaker volume is for 5.1, subwoofer volume is for anything.1, and crossover frequency is the point at which your subwoofer will play sounds instead of the speakers.

And I've tried to adjust them with all the speaker options available. No dice for any of 'em.
Xyrra, I can't think of what may be causing your problem...possibly play around with wherey ou plug your speakers in?
Try going Start->All Programs->Accessories->Entertainment->Volume Control
Go to the Options menu and select advanced controls if it's not already selected. Click advanced under the main slider (the slider area should be labelled "Play Control"). Under "Other Controls" turn Digital Output Only off and then back on again.
Also, the digital audio doesn't seem to make a difference. I've tried resetting that a few times as well.
Before anyone asks, onboard sound is disabled through bios. I spent about an hour trying to fix the problem through there yesterday. [ 06-10-2003: Message edited by: Xyrra ]
There may also be some kind of IRQ sharing conflict, Creative cards absolutely love to do that, but I'm not quite sure how that would cause the problems you're having.
There were no conflicts before XP.
On the plus side, my computer is faster and happier than ever.
Con, well... my entire music collection is on the computer. I'm really getting tired of silence
The last hardware upgrade was almost a year ago, when I upgraded the processor and motherboard, added some ram, and a bigger HD. That's it.
I think I got rid of that a few months back, when I realized I never used it.
My Audigy only works if I follow these steps:
If I just use the new ones on their own, it borks everything up.

Demos wrote this then went back to looking for porn:
Do you have RealPlayer? I have noticed that if I turn the volume on RealPlayer down, it ends up lowering the entire system volume.
I believe it is because the ReaPlayer volume is actually just the system volume. Found that out by accident one day, when I had zero volume in my Windows Media Player, even though the only thing I changed was RealPlayer's volume.
In other words, I can't find the disk.
Any other suggestions? That preferably don't include a sledgehammer and a blowtorch?
I know the basic template, but was curious about the wings, skulls, etc

Did you *upgrade* or did you format and install XP?
On all the new systems I've been shipping out with XP the CL drivers work just fine and the default drivers under XP work as well (I install the current revision of the CL drivers instead of what ships on the CD after XP has detected the card). I'm wondering if it might be an artifact of the upgrade....
bump? why do you ask?
Just let the card find the drivers and let everything else be, that should work.

This one time, at Ninok camp:
Xyrra, uninstall all the drivers, programs and even the card from the machine, when you "search for new hardware" tell it to find the drivers in a folder *DO NOT INSTALL ANYTHING FROM SOUNDBLASTER*Just let the card find the drivers and let everything else be, that should work.
But Creative's drivers work. =/
but yeah, try what he said anyway..
Always better to Format and Install. ALWAYS... Too much crap goes wrong in an overwrite and shit quits working. Wish you had told me that before.
Buy full versions of Windows. It may cost more, but you'll thank yourself later on.

Slight falsity in your truth.
You can buy the upgrade version, but choose to do a full install with it.
At some point, it'll just check your previous Windows edition, but it will still do a full format.

Actually, with XP, if you buy the upgrade you can install it just like the full version. It will just ask you to insert a full version disc of a previous Windows to prove that you qualify for the upgrade. It checks to make sure it's real, then ejects it.
It's quite nice.
Nice feature.
