Audigy not working (??)

[austinguu]

I just installed an Audigy Gamer to replace my onboard C-media 6-channel audio. The audigy isn't working. I installed all of the newest drivers and I believe I have disabled the onboard sound, though it still remains in my device manager hardware profiles (I can't remove it). Anything that said onboard audio, I clicked "disable" in the bios.

Initially, the sound worked for 10 seconds and then afterwards, it stopped. I believe it stopped once I tried out the Creative Quickstart.

Can anyone advise? I'm on a p4t533-R.

Question - you disabled the onboard sound in the bios, but did you remove the device in the device manager? If not windows is probably still trying to access the board sound because those drivers and irq settings are still active, then just shutting off sound when the hardware doesn't respond. Try removing those devices associated with the onboard sound and rebooting and see what happens

I had a problem with the "stuff" on my audigy gamer install CD. I eventually had to just install drivers, then go to creative and dl the latest driver update. Maybe try to un install everything, then just install drivers for audigy. My last MOBO had OB sound and all I had to do was disable in bios, it was still in device manager, but had a question mark beside it. Oh, uninstall drivers for OB sound in device manager too, then try and find the driver file for it and toatally delete it so windows doesn't find it and try to install it again(windows likes to do that, atleast my XP does)

I had a problem with my card when I built this system. I fixed it by moving the card to one of the bottom slots. It may not work for you, but if you have deleted the other driver and done everything else to try to fix the prob, try it. It worked for me.

like illbreakit, my software installation was a bit weird too. If you're running XP, install just the necessary drivers and then download the patches from creative's website. If that doesn't work i can see the card being defective as my first one was.
