re: upgrade to xp and lost sound Saturday, November 15, 2003 at 7:54 am Posted by Kevin (2497 messages posted) Check Device Manager to see if your sound card is reported as working. Also make note of the brand and model of your sound card so you can download a driver if necessary. Also, have you checked the speaker icon on your Task Bar to make sure the sound is not muted and the level is up, and that your speakers are plugged into the right jack on your PC, that the speakers are powered and the volume control raised.

I didn't want to bore anyone with the things that I've done, but her it goes: 1) Device Manager- sound card working properly and it has no conflicts. 2) I have SoundBlaster live Value (whatever that means) and I downloaded the file SBLiveXPDrvUpdate.exe that took me many hours to find and many attempts to download... 3)Speakers are on - volume high 4)Speakers are connected 5)Speaker icon is on high volume and not on mute... I downloaded many different files and upgrade, but they didn't work at all. My computer was fine before i upgraded to xp professional; the sound was working properly. I removed all the previous versions of my sound drivers; I installed the originals back again. I removed them again install the xp upgrade driver only. One of the many times that I removed everything the system "xp" recognized new hardware and it installed it's own... Please Please Please Help! Rony!

I checked the Creative support site and found that with one particular motherboard there's a problem that's resolved with a BIOS upgrade, but that pertains to the ASUS P3B-F motherboard. I also found in system requirements that you need either Windows 95, 98, or NT4. There's no mention of XP. For your convenience, I copied the system requirements and tech support phone number for Creative and am pasting it here: What are the system requirements for the Sound Blaster Live! range of cards? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Keywords System Requirements, Pentium, Processor, Compatible, Chipset Applies to Sound Blaster Live! range -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Advice The System Requirements for the Sound Blaster Live! range of cards are as follows: Genuine Intel® Pentium® class 133MHz or faster processor. Intel® or 100% compatible motherboard chipset. 16MB system RAM (32MB strongly recommended). Windows® 95, Windows 98 or Windows NT® 4.0*. Open half-length PCI 2.1 compliant slot. Headphones or amplified speakers (available separately). CD-ROM drive required for software installation. Available 5 1/4” PC drive bay (for Live! Drive).

Imagine my surprise when I found out I have no sound now. I have a Dell Inspiron 1000 win xp. I found this website and was staggered at the amount of people who have done the same as myself. I cannot understand how microsoft didn't know about this and made some allowance for it. I am going to have to pay at least thirty pounds to get an audio driver installed on a three month old laptop that cost 9oo pounds. I'm annoyed and feel cheated. Anyway if you do find a solution let me know. I will keep checking back. Thanks again Rony.

This is my 1st computer Its a win p dell inspiron and Its only 3 months old so you can imagine my disgust when I found out that I am going to have to pay at least 30quid to download audio drivers because mine weredeleted when I had the computer cleared. It seemed easier than trying to resolve the mistakes I had made. I would have thought that microsoft have some remedy for this problem as it involves thousands and isn't just a fluke. I feel cheated. Anyway just thought I would give my support to you. If you find any other solutions I would be grateful to hear them. I really am a complete novice at this but I'm getting better. thanks enduser.

Anyway so the bastard just stops working. Funny thing is that the computer knows its there (it appears as functioning in device manager) but won't load the drivers (when i go into Device Manager and select the card, right click, click properties, click onto the properties tab and then select any one of the recognised 'multimedia devices' and click properties it tells me "Status: Driver enabled but has not been loaded". If I go to the Control Pannel and check out Sound and Audio devices it tells me that there's not audio device installed, but the game port on the sound card works fine - its running those drivers in the device manager too.

Everything was working fine before the crash. Now I have sound (multimedia audio controller) and other device problems(video controller and universal serial bus). I have had this problem with another computer when device drivers disappear without reason and will not install from the xp disc, it takes hours to find drivers or advice on how to proceed. I don't know if anyone has a good source for drivers but it might be helpful to list sources. Since I have had the crash I am just now looking again for good sources. Thank you for your help and consideration.

I saw your post and I'm having the same difficulties. I can't get sound on windows media player, limewire, and itunes. When I go to Device Manager, I click on Sound Devices, and there is a list of 6 sound programs. im not sure which one is the standard one. Also, when I click volume control, I receive the same text box message about "mixer devices". What are these? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Do a clean install. Phil On Tuesday, November 28, 2006 at 6:24 pm, chris wrote: >Did you ever find a solution to your problem? I saw your post and I'm having the >same difficulties.

A clean install to a formatted partition is exactly what caused my particular problem. And no, reinstalling drivers has not helped.
