KX.inf driver file is empty

esfeld · Sep 15, 2006, 02:39 PM

winxp pro
SB Audigy MP3+
Installation of KX Project went well, but .... no sound! ..... when I click on test I get "failed to create sound"
Device manager shows "Creative SB Audigy" device working properly with Eugene Gavrilov as driver provider ... but shows a yellow ? for "other devices(Multimedia audio controller)"
It seems that the KX set up file is picking up the PCI ID for the SB audigy but not for the "MUltimedia Audio Controller" ...... I would install the driver manually but the file kx.inf has no driver info all it contains is:
; kX Audio Driver

Need help

Scroll down a bit... kx.inf has a bit of blank space before the first entires.

Thank you ...(stupid error)
But when I direct the install new driver (device manager) to it it tells me that no driver files are present..... any ideas

It sounds like it detected and installed your Audigy, and that maybe the other device is the game port (ctljystk.inf), or a phantom device.

I would do a clean reinstall.
Use DriverCleanerPro to remove driver.
Boot into Safe Mode. Go into Device Manager, and if you see anything in there related to you sound card, remove it (including unknown or phantom devices, etc).
Reboot (boot into normal Windows) and install kX.

BTW: What version of kX are you installing? (the latest version (at the time of this post) is 3538k)
