Audio/Sound Card Help needed! Creative Xtreme Gamer

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 

Hello,

 

My applogies if this is the wrong place to post this quesiton but you all seem very knowlegible and I could really use some help.

 

I am using a Creative X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Soundcard which I have had for years, and years on Win7 64bit.  Yesterday I had to remove my card and re-seat it.  When I turned my PC back on I found myself without sound.  After reinstalling the latest drivers, many, many times.  Windows 7 finally recognized my sound-card again.  I am not using any fancy equipment, only my Soundcard and headphones which are plugged in using the standard pink/green audio jacks.

 

However, I am still getting no audio. On my playback receive menu I am only seeing two options, neither of which I was using before I ran into problems yesterday.  The only two options here are "SPDIF Out" and "Internal AUX jack" I cannot produce sound using either of these playback settings.

 

Under "Recording" the devices displayed are "Microphone" "Auxiliary" "Line-in" and "What You Hear" (im not sure if this has any baring on the situation)

 

I have included some screenshots of what I am seeing. I am not very knowlegible when it comes to the specifics of sound devices, so im not entirerly sure what I should be using or doing to fix this problem. If anyone has any ideas, It would be greatly appreciated.

Try updating drivers.

 

Delete and do a fresh install of all Creative Labs software/drivers.

 

If you have a plug and play setting in BIOS, switch it, if currently set to Yes, switch to No, if No switch to Yes.

Make sure (in BIOS) all on-board sound is disabled.

Disable anything your not using (in BIOS) like parallel or serial ports, etc.

Try to sit the card in another slot.
