i am trying to install a PCI sound card and am having trouble with sound. The card is detected once windows is loaded and there are no device conflicts in device manager. I have removed all other expansion cards and i have upgraded to the latest drivers. I have checked the speakers (these are fine) and both the windows and creative sound/volume utilities are correct. However i still have no sound output (for any type of audio format). My understanding of PCI technology is limited but am i correct in assuming that PCI-X is backward compatible with PCI and therefore the card should work in a PCI-X slot? Does anyone have any ideas on what else this could be or is it possible that i have a faulty card?
(I am using a Supermicro PDSM4 with Windows XP Pro SP2)
