A few days ago, I went to use my pc and the sound wasn't on. I though some of the volume controls may have been down or something may have been muted, but going into Control Panel, then Device Manager (this is WINDOWS XP btw) I found all volume controls up and NOTHING muted. At this point it STILL showed my soundcard--E-MU 0404. I uninstalled the drivers, then reinstalled them and still nothing. I turned off the computer then uninstalled the card then turned the computer back on, then rebooted again and and reinstalled the card. The first time I did this, "new hardware added" appeared, but I was still unable to get it to work. I retried it and now Windows isn't even showing the card at all. I've run Everest Home diagnostic software and that shows an Audigy 2 as my sound PROCESSOR, which I'm nearly 100 percent sure is what the E-MU platform is.

I just got the computer to find the card by CHANGING the Audio settings in CMOS from disabled to auto. However, I'm still getting no sound. And when I go to Control Panel----Sounds and Audio Devices Properties--the volume control is grayed out. Any ideas?Quote
