KNiGHTMaRe Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 I had a crappy Creative Labs sound blaster 16 bit installed and decided to install the Karajan Audio module. I hooked up the CD-in connection, but i didn't hook up for the front audio ports because I don't need them. Anyways, i installed the AC'97 driver from the utility cd and then i also double checked in the BIOS to make sure AC-97 was on Auto. Well, i went to check the sound and I am not getting anything. I have a 5.1 surround sound system and it was working before with my old card. Also, its plugged into the right port which would be Green. I made sure it was recognized in the Control Panel, had all the recent drivers and had all the volumes up in the sound panel. and still, no sound. what could be wrong???

Syngensmyth Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 And "mute" is not checked somewhere like "windows sound device". Hey don't laugh, I've done it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loggan26 Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 How about uninstalling the driver and reinstalling it, if that dont work how about using the Realtek driver instead of the nvidia???? Logan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefabe Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 I would use driver cleaner to remove all your old drivers then reinstall the realtek drivers as Loggan suggested but make sure you clean out all your old drivers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

red930 Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 You don't need the old analog audio cable any more. All current media players read the digital info through the data cable for better audio quality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red930 Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 BTW The nVidia audio drivers and applications are much better than the Realtek stuff. Use the nVidia mixer application and setup your speakers with the wizard. Very simple. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
