HELP Windows xp will not recognize my SB Audigy

[leedog2007]

I just got the components in my sig today and everything has gone beautifully except i cannot get windows to recognize either my soundblaster audigy or the onboard sound.

Any help is appreciated

disable onboard in BIOS?

 

[leedog2007]

Doesn't work. I've tried it enable without the audigy and disabled with the audigy

 

[PurdueRy]

go to control panel and sound manager or whatever. What devices are available for use

 

[leedog2007]

none. Windows doesn't detect them (either of them).

 

[PurdueRy]

go to device manager...are there any sound devices listed?

 

[leedog2007]

Yes, the audigy is listed

 

[PurdueRy]

you installed the latest drivers from creatives driver autoupdate?

 

[leedog2007]

yes

 

[PurdueRy]

what type of speakers you trying to plug in?

 

[leedog2007]

Logitech Z-5300

They worked earlier today before I install the asus mobo and had to reinstall windows

 

[PurdueRy]

via digital or analog out?

 

[leedog2007]

analog

 

[PurdueRy]

is digital out only selected in the creative control panel thingy?

 

[leedog2007]

no, but i don't think the audigy is the problem

 

[PurdueRy]

what do you think is the problem

 

[leedog2007]

I would guess its in windows. I don't really know thats why i started this tread.

 

[PurdueRy]

I think you just have a setting wrong. Whether it be volume or mute or something simple. Can you find the option to restore defaults? in my audigy 2 ZS its in the taskbar control center. try that

 

[leedog2007]

under the diagnostic tool on the audigy it passes the detect and sound font tests, but fails the wave driver, midi driver, mixer driver, direct sound driver, direct sound 3D driver, and mixer settings check.

 

[PurdueRy]

install direct X 9.0C

 

[leedog2007]

i have

 

[PurdueRy]

reinstall the drivers that came on the CD while your at it

 

[leedog2007]

I have

 

[leedog2007]

Nothing works

Try unistalling the audigy drivers, running driver cleaner pro le to clean out the reg files and switching the card to a different PCI slot. There's no reason it shouldn't be working.
