Audio problem
I installed an audio card (Sound Blaster X-Fi model SB046APCS) and I can't
hear any sound comming out of my PC (I build it myself). The sound tests tell me everyting is working OK and that there are no confilcts with the card. Yesterday I downloaded the Vista audio driver SBXF_PCDVT_LB_2_15_0004.exe from Creative and still no sound. When performing the diagnostics, I can see a green color going up and down in the sound bar but thats all. I have an Intel DX38BT motherboard, do I have to disable whatvever options there are for audio in the BIOS or the motherboard disables it when it detects an audio card installed? The sound card is recognized by the hardware manager. I have run out of ideas, so, any suggestions? My email is . The dvd burners installed are the Plextor 810SA (sata) and the Memorex dvd burner(model 32023220). I have placed the music cd in both, with the same result, no sound can be heard. The speakers I am using are the JBL Creature (which works OK on my other pc). |

Audio problem
Instead of relying on the system to sort out any issues, I would have
uninstalled the drivers for the onboard audio, deleted the device from Device manger, restarted, and definitely disabled all onboard audio features in the BIOS - all before I plugged in the new sound card and began its installation. I don't exactly know how you went about it. Another alternative is that there is a problem with the sound card. The sound card could think it's OK, but I doubt it monitors things after the output stage. Did you try a pair of headphones in the front speaker output jack? Kind of a pain: can you try the board in another PC? (I know I wouldn't want to do that either if I could avoid it at all). Best of luck... -- -me. Let this forum know if this helps or if you figure out the problem, so others can benefit.
