IMy computer states that I have no "audio mixers" or audio hardware installed...When I check all drivers, etc are "working perfectly".
The only time I have sound is when I dial up for online....Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks

I have the Dell Creative Audigy sound card.

Working perfectly one day.

I did a windows update, and from then on - problems. I cannot hear anything, cannot play any sounds at all. Nothing is muted, or whatever. Looks perfect in the device manager. I uninstalled every 'Creative' application, cleaned everything, and installed a brand new card. Same problem. Looks great in device manager, yet no sound. No games installed, no crazy stuff. When run windows media player, it tells me that the card is not installed, or that it is being "used by some other program" - yet, when I run the new card software (also creative) - it recognizes it during install. When I run creative mediasource player - it is then unrecognized. There has got to be some dll somewhere where we can fix this. The answer is not to delete everything and start over - has to be some fix somewhere.

Thanks

I'm having the same problem. Something from Windows updates screwed my sound up.

The problem that you describe is still going on, or at least I have left it alone this long. I'm a new poster and have read these same posts again and again to no solution. My sound card is a sound blaster live 24 bit, the device thing finds it but the computer will not recognize it. Any suggestions?
