well since i couldnt figure out how to get my onboard audio to work again... i installed the SB live! mp3+ card i had laying around... i installed it... when to creatives site and downloaded the latest drivers
heres where i started having problems
after restarting the computer after installing the card... the sound windows start up music started playing even b4 i installed the drivers... the sound played for maybe 5 seconds and froze the entire computer... so i rebooted into safe mode...
once there i check the device manager and nothing was flaged... i tried to install the drivers i previously downloaded and it gave me the message "Setup could not detect any sound blaster card on your system. please insure that you sound card hardware is installed properly... bla bla bla... setup will now exit"
so im like wtf... i looked in sound, audio and game controllers and low and behold sound blaster live is there... hmmm
am i making any sense? onboard audio is disabled and no other audio drivers have been installed... should i try installing the card in a different pci slot?
