have a sound blaster audigy SE sound card
had drivers from audigy website. worked great.
windows update notifies me they have better drivers
allow windows update to install
windows installs them, restart, freeze as soon as the windows sound logo plays
happens several times in a row
boot to safe mode, uninstall drivers
reboot, boots fine, no sound.
install from SB website. works for a bit.
put computer to sleep
gone all weekend
come back, wake up computer, freeze at windows chimes sounds after typing in my password
reboot to safe mode, uninstall drivers
reboot normal
install drivers
freezes after drivers are done installing
reboot, freeze on windows chimes again
unintstall the sound card and enable onboard again
computer boots fine. no issues.
the sound card is sitting on my desk. Is there anything else that could have been causing it?
I'm kind of at a loss.
The card was only like $25 so it's not a huge loss, but still i don't understand why it doesn't work.
