I have a Creative Sound Blaster Audigy, which i reinstalled...yet no luck. also tryed a system restore, that didn't work either.any ideas?

Completely uninstall all the drivers for the Audigy card, to include the entertainment center and the audio console. Reboot and then try installation again. This should take care of the problem.

Creative has alot of compatability problems with different Mobs.
If you had virus problems chech that your bios settings havent changed,you may need to flash your bois if it has been altered,if you can't change any of your settings manualy you will need to flash your motherboards bois.
virus's can affect your firmware on your board.
If thats not the problem,download the latest drivers for your sound drivers for your board(on board that is not the creative drivers)
I have a Cambridge soundworks setup and I dont use the 5.1 sound card, I use the on board sound and there is no difference i quality
Im pretty sure that the creative drivers use alot of memory that is just going to slow your pc down.
Good luck mate

No Sound Device
Hey guys, just bought this labtop dell D610 (service tag f5cgp71) off ebay; and well installed a fresh copy of windows, done all the updates and got all the drivers. when i first installed windows, no sound device was recognized.. however after booting, windows did find it.. i installed the drivers SIGMATEL STAC 975X AC97 and rebooted. windows then did not recognize the sound card again. i tried removing the drivers under ADD/REMOVE programs to see if windows would then recognize the card. but it didnt. weird.. help.. anyone have any suggestions? thanks
