Creative sound blaster live 5.1 problem
« on: September 14, 2004, 10:17:11 PM »
hi, i'm new here.. maybe someone good with sound card installation can help me. I just got a new sound card as such, i replaced it with a regular creative sound blaster card. I plugged it in and did a full install of all programs on the installation disk, but i cannot get any sound to play out of my speakers, 1 problem i thought of was the speakers im using are not 5.1 digital and just regular ones, but i checked the sight and it doesn't mention anything about having creative or digital speakers to hear sound from.

I also meet the minium requirements! I installed the vxd drivers and uninstalled wdm drivers as suggested in the manual...to no avail. This sound card has 5 inputs rather than the one i took out has 4 for good reasons...duh i know... i tried playing a song while switching the plug in each input, now i have it in the green slot which is Front out (line_out1) still not working anyone whith a sound blaster card or who has experienced any complication installing sound cards or basically the software, can help i would appreciate it alot.

Regards, jay


p.s... I have tried this: "control panel" / "sounds , speech and audio devices" / "audioHQ" "control panel" / "other control panel options" / "audioHQ" and went to "speaker" made sure "only digital" "volume mute" and "wave/mp3 mute" aren't checked and selected my speakers.

I have a screen shot of what it looked like before to help it plays audio only through the mic and when i do the test and the keyboard piano thing plays sound through my speakers, but it will not play audio through when i click my music files or movies i am soooo stumped can anyone please suggest something...possibly a solution?  thanx

i would go over all your settings again. If all seems well, reinstall your drivers. Get updated ones from Creative.

i finally figured it out, i was having a problem reinstalling the audio drivers, but i went ahead and manually went into the windows sysem deleted the neccessary sound drivers uninstalled all drivers "once again" and restarted and reinstalled and low and behold i got sound again and from music so that rocks, thanks for the reply  ;D

I 'm having problem with my printer so i'll be posting a topic on it hopefully you can help me and it doesn't seem to be related to any other topics i've read RE: printers.

I see what your getting at, maybe merlin could help  ??? he seems a little printer savvy, but hey thanks again though, this sight inspired me to try and get the sound card working again, after all the other times failed, so thanks computerhope.com.
