Hey there! I updated my direct X drivers, to fix my graphics problems (now fixed), but now my sound is echoing... I tried to download my latest drvers from http://www.creative.com , but when I tied to install them, I got the message that no Sound Blaster card was DETECTED... It seems ok in the DXDIAG window, and in the Device Manager... Any idea how to get these drivers to work or how to STOP the echoing? Also, I am using Windows XP Pro, and I have scanned for viruses, etc. No luck...  Please assist!  no microphones plugged in then?what soundcard is it? Creative labs has a media player that it's CARDS will default to using and therein has a built in 'mixer' that actually has all kinds of differnt settings for sound, like Auditorium/Studio/Concert Hall etc, this may be the cause of your sound woes.

one more thing, from the device manager, uninstall the soundcard, reboot, then reinstall them.It's a Soundblaster Live! card... (We spoke over IM which is how I got the info.)
