Solve : sound card: XP says it works but it doesn't? |
|
Answer» I gave my old computer to a FRIEND. It has a Soundblaster Live Value. It is 4 or 5 years old but was working until I set it up at his place. I can't GET any sound out of the speakers except the startup beep. In the control panel it says it is working properly, however, some of the tabs such as "Sound PLAYBACK Default DEVICE" are shaded and therefore will not allow me to make any use of them. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the card into different PCI slots and also updated the drivers, all at least twice. When I TRY to play an audio CD, both Windows Media and iTunes say that there could be a problem, and there is. I have also made sure that the account has admin priveleges. All else seems to be working fine. |
