Hello, Ive looked on the board here and really couldnt find too much. I Just
bought windows vista x64 Ultimate. So far, everything is working great,
except the sound. I have a Creative Sound Audigy 2 and the onboard sound
which is just a realtek set of drivers.
I downloaded beta drivers from creative
Windows Vista automatically downloaded drivers for motherboard sound (realtek)
I cant get sound from any one of them. I plugged my speakers into both set
of jacks and I cant get anything.
Installed Vista Business last week and downloaded/installed the latest
Creative Beta Drivers ( 2.12.0001 ) for my Audigy2ZS PCI card. Intermittent
operation at best. Reinstalled drivers WITHOUT removing already installed
set of same drivers.
The install program found the installed drivers - removed them - and
reinstalled the driver set again. Voila -- Success !
Learned this trick from previous installations on RC1 and RC2. Good luck.

Richard:
Since you have the creative card installed, go into the bios and
disable onboard sound. With onboard sound enabled and a creative card
installed the conflict will disable all sound. One thing that I've noticed
is the task bar volume control is very muted with a creative card, don't use
that as a sound card performance guide. Have a great day.

Ok heres a new update, when i hit play on any sound player, ( Windows Media
player and or itunes) the bar doesnt even move. it just stays at position
0:00. Also, when i go to play sounds from my windows sounds (like window
start up) nothing happens.
Sooo hopefully this will help!

Still no sound. but Computer is acting as if there is. Equalizer bar in
sound options is bouncing when the sound is playing. the songs are flowing
through the programs. Just no sound.
ive tried a second set of speakers and headphones.

Richard:
Use WinRar to unzip the Creative driver file, verify that onboard
sound is disabled. Uninstall the soundcard, reboot. In device manager there
should now be an unknown multi-media controller listed, right click, update
driver, choose driver to install, browse, point to the unzipped Creative wdm
file, install. After installation reboot. Have a great day.
