Audigy 2 ZS - No Device Found

Rodan2000 · Jul 29, 2005, 10:32 PM

Well... this is how it went down. I tried updating my video drivers for my ATI Radeon 9600XT and things just started falling apart. CD Drives quit working, BF2 was acting a fool. I was in mid game with the new video drivers and my computer was displaying pretty much one colored lines coming from the crosshairs. My speakers did a high pitch *beeeeeeep* then my computer proceeded to turn itself off, like a power outage.

SO! I fixed the video driver, fixed the CD drivers, and everything else. The last thing I need is my Audigy 2 ZS to work. I've tried everything from uninstalling all the programs, driver cleanup, reinstalling, doing a cleansweep, installing but the same issue happens... no sound.

If you go to Sound and Audio devices, it says there is No Audio Devices present. I do have onboard sound, but I disabled that in the BIOS. (Note: My setup with the Audigy 2 ZS was working perfectly before the new video driver.)

So... I'm stuck. The FUNNIEST thing I think is... Creative has this Welcome Screen after you install the Mediasource and... IT LETS ME PLAY THIS MARIACHI BAND THING THROUGH MY SPEAKERS!!!! WTF! Not that it's Mariachi... but there is sound coming out of my speakers! It sounds perfect. I don't understand.

Help, please. Pretty please. Thanks, Dan~
