Reverting from kx driver has created problems.

Hello,

I have been using the kx driver for about a week now, and once I found out that I couldn't play Nwverwinter Nights with these drivers (not with sound at least), I just had to go back to the original Audigy drivers. I uninstalled the kx driver using the kx uninstaller, and re-installed my audigy drivers. This is where my problem begins.

I thought everything was peachy when I reinstalled the Audigy drivers. The Device Manager said it was good to go. However, the "Sounds and Audio Devices Properties" still said I had a Kx Audio device or something like that. This caused all the creative utils to give me the finger. Now how the L am I supposed to set my fancy EQ without a program do do it?

As you can guess, I had to do something about this. So I removed all my audio drivers, and started up regedit, and removed everything having to do with the Kx drivers. Then I installed my audigy drivers yet again.

WOW, the Creative apps started! But what's that I hear? Sounds like....NOTHING! All I can do is record! Well, that's not entirely true, I can listen to MIDI's, just not sound. If I look in the audio tab under "Sound and Audio Device Properties", it tells me this. If anyone can help me I will but you a virtual case of beer

I really don't want to have to do anything that will take all day tomorrow (like wipe my hard drive and start over). My guess is that I deleted a registry key that I shouldn't have, although I made sure that all the keys I deleted were related in the kx driver inf.

Thanks,

Did you make sure to go to device manager and delete everything from there as well?

Yes, yes i did.

BTW, have you turned off EAX when you used kX - 90% chance that this was the cause for getting no sound.

Actually, NWN wouldn't even start while I had Kx drivers installed. I set the sound to Safe Mode in the config, and it still wouldn't start. I set the sound to Off and it started. The bottom line is that NWN doesn't like Kx. I read in an older thread on this forum that I wasn't the only one with this problem so I decided to go back to the creative drivers.

I think I've tried about all I can, and I've come to the conclusion that my computer is mucked. I tried to install the drivers that came with my card for the last time and it gave me a BSOD on emu10kx2k.sys. That was the last straw.
