Newbie here - NO SOUND (Win7x64)

Pareeeee · Mar 14, 2010, 01:20 AM

I am running Windows 7 64 bit. I have 3 GB of RAM.

I have a Soundblaster Live! CT4670 soundcard which I just put in.

I have 2 speakers and a subwoofer.

At startup, I pressed F10 and went into BIOS, disabled onboard audio.

I then ran windows and installed the kX Project.

Now I have no sound. Doesn't matter what jack I plug my speakers into.

When I run tests, it says "failed to create sound"

Please help
I looked at some of the other threads but they were too technical for me, something about tweaking buffers but I have no idea what to change in those settings....

What should I do with all my settings to get sound to work?

Thanks!

Ok. i somehow got sound working. dont know how i did it but i did...i think the driver for my old soundcard was interfering. had to make sure that i disabled the other soundcard in device manager.

FYI: The "Failed to create sound" problem is a known bug:

Speaker Test not working..."failed to create sound"?
