	Do what drax said and move it to a different PCI slot, it may also be that you have some fluf or dust in the PCI slot if its not being detected. Failing that it sound slike it maybe time to send it back for a repalcement\refund. DO you have another card you can try to see if its detected?

	My first creative sound card was fucked and wouldnt boot past windows loading screen. And when it did it wouldnt detect it.

	Dont install the card in the pci slot near the graphics card, use one further away.. Some graphics cards cause problems with the first PCI port when using creative soundcards, Make sure the onboard is diabled in the bios. Check to see if your new soundcard requires additional power supply input.

	/\ put up a link to the new card spec please. What OS you on? XP or Vista?
Jas	posted on 23rd Aug 07 at 17:59
	I understand the disabling etc in BIOS But its not picking up the card full stop.. and It tells me there not one locatable when I try install the card :(

	Theres settings in the BIOS even I wont mess with :lol:
Richie	posted on 23rd Aug 07 at 15:50
	Yup but because it sounds like he is a scaredy cat i dont think we should let him into the BIOS :P

	go into the bios and disable the onboard soundcard like i said at the start. windows is still using the onboard soundcard even though you have a pci one.
Richie	posted on 23rd Aug 07 at 13:06
	Just change the mixer devices.
pow	posted on 23rd Aug 07 at 12:34

If your card isnt working after installing it, you have used the cd and installed the drivers for it right? Right click on "My Computer" go to "Manage" go to "Device Manager" any audio devices got a yellow "!" next to them? Also if you still have the onboard enabled have you tried plugging the speakers back into there even with your new card installed? If that works you need to go to "Control Panel" then "Sound & Audio Devices" then click on the "Audio Tab" and change sound device from onboard to your new card. Sorted! John

	tried everything, uninstalling re installing, removing, changing slot etc just wont work :( have to stick to 5.1 i suppose
dannymccann	posted on 22nd Aug 07 at 21:22
	ok do this - Take the new card out Unplug the speakers from everything Boot into Windows and uninstall everything related to creative soundcards Restart and then turn off again Put your card back in but dont plug the speakers in Boot into Windows and go to Control Panel - System - Hardware - Device Manager and see if it recognises it as being installed If it does, put your install disc in and install the software Turn off and plug speakers in and give it a go If it doesnt find the card a couple of steps up then either the PCI card slot is fooked or the card is fooked.... Send some feedback

	ive plugged them into the card and it dont work..but the mobo does
dannymccann	posted on 22nd Aug 07 at 20:55
	u dont need to afaik. my creative soundcard just installs using the provided disc and it uses it straight away. not being funny but you have plugged your speaker jacks into the card and not the motherboard havent you? On another note you need to uninstall your old drivers first, should be in Add/Remove as they may be conflicting. Come back and tell us what you have tried if it still isnt wokring
Jas	posted on 22nd Aug 07 at 16:18
	is that what Im supposed to do? how would I do that now?
ssj_kakarot	posted on 22nd Aug 07 at 16:16
	did you disable the onboard soundcard in the bios menu before installing the new card?
