Problem with Integrated Sound Card + Creative Sound Card.?
830206
If you have an intergrated sound card and you install your own sound card the first thing you have to do is :\nEnter System setup with F2, Del or whatever keys you have to hit\n\nLook for in the COMOS:\nOnboard sound or Intergrated AC97: Enable (Disable)\n\nYou have to disable your onboard sound so your computer can run the other sound card instead. A computer can not run 2 sound card at once, it will use the default one. (intergrated)

it is just impractical to install another sound card when you have a built in, usually new mother borad have a built in soundc ard of 5.1 audio so, hwy do install another one if the latter is working, if not there that is the time you install another one

If you dont have a sound card than try re-installing your motherboard drivers. All PCs have motherboards (or mobos we call them...) check/find out what mobo you are using (the brand - is it - ABIT, ASUS, MSI etc)  and what chipset its working on (is it Intel, Nvidia etc). Than go to the appropriate mobo manufacturer's website and download the latest drivers. This should usually work. Good luck.

do system sounds work all of the time?  if not, its a sound card issue.  check the driver and reinstall the hardware by going to control panel, add/remove hardware\nif yes, then it sounds like a software conflict.  real and wmp often conflict.  try uninstalling real and/or winmediaplayer and installing one at a time and testing after each install.

HI,\nTry to remove your Sound card driver and get a newer version from the site, because it may be a conflict with the windows especially if you download micrsoft batches from internet.

If the problem happens intermitmently like you described, we can rule out the settings (Here I suppose you know how to check the audio settings of your machine).  If so, it must be the hardware.  Since audio cards are cheap (You can get one for $20 and the sounds are pretty decent), install a new sound card.

Check your sound card software.if you are using intel motherboard then "soundmax" may be the culprit.

You're going to slap me for suggesting it, but check the following first:\n\n1. Go to the control panel, check sound.  Is it muted?  Is anything muted?\n2. Double check that the speaker is in the correct port, and not going through another device (speaker/headset splitter, etc) first.\n3. Make sure the card is seated properly.\n\nOnce you've done these, go to the control panel, then system, then hardware, then device manager and make sure the computer knows the card is present and installed.  Make sure it thinks it's running.\n\nGood luck.

Do the following( if you have a good grasp of computer things!\nGo to control panel. Then system. click on device manager look for your sound card and uninstall it.\nReboot your computer and it will install the sound card again, by telling you"found new hardware-follow the prompts and let the system select the drivers and this should work.\n\nBefore doing all this go to control panel and click on sounds/audio devices and check the speaker setting!

Please check your sound card. Also whether your mother board supports it. Re install the sound card driver and check.

Check if your speakers are plugged in properly. If that is the case, your sound card might not be working. Sometimes, I have to re-install my driver for it.

Do you have a sound card installed or are you trying to use onboard sound (from your motherboard)? Is there a listing in Device Manager for Unknown Devices? If so, it may be your sound card, so right click it and update the drivers. \n\nDo you have the same problem when you restart your computer?\n\n\nOk, have you tried placing the sound card into a different PCI slot on the motherboard? If so, and you are not getting any sound and there is no soundcard listed in Device Manager, then you either have a bad sound card or you are having an IRQ conflict, or you (unlikely) have bad PCI slots on the motherboard. I would put my money on a bad sound card as IRQ conflicts are are usually corrected by Windows, but you never know...
