    No sound. Period at all.

    I have 2 sound cards installed. An onboard ac'97 and a creative Audigy 2
    Platnium eX. Now its a fresh install of Vista Build 5384, and i went in to
    bios before i installed to shut off ac'97 card. So would try to cut back on
    chance of windows freeking out. But alas to no avail. I did go to creative
    website and try the drivers for previous build of vista, no luck there
    either. So tryed the xp drivers, and bingo the WDM driver installed.. but
    still no sound. Tried the head phone jack, digital output, Coax, optical,
    Nothing.

    Now it shows sound playing on the volume control, but i got nothing

    So I enabled sound card in bios for ac'97 and tryed that, drivers installed.
    Again with no luck with any sound.



    HELP!

    My system is a Amd 64 X2 4200, on a ECS KV2 Lite, with 2 gigs memory, a XFX
    7800 GS OC.

    Support for audio devices from Creative probably won't happen until after
    Vista is released.
    Some of my devices are not working, what should I do?

    You can do a couple things, check the manufacturers website for updates. If
    your internet connection is working in Windows Vista, I suggest you try
    obtaining the drivers through Windows Update. Click Start > All Programs >
    Windows Update > Turn on Windows Update. A list of available updates will
    then be downloaded, you will have the option to view them, do so and check
    off the appropriate drivers you need and click Install.

    I would be happy to use the Windows Update but that errors out as well.
