Sound Blaster Live 5.1 Vlue.. DS not working

Hello folks!

I got a Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 Digital (Value), the prob
with it is that it's not letting me hear any thing from DS DS3D
(Direct-X Direct Sound / Direct Sound 3D ). I meen, that
I don't have sound in programs that use DS / DS3D as their
output. God bless Foobar2000 and Winamp'z "wave_out.dll"!

This way I can hear my music.... :p

During my eforts to make DS / DS3D work, I tried the folloiwng
things :
*Uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled them -> didn't work out

*Uninstalled and stuck the sound card in to a diffrent
PCI slot and installed the Drivers again -> didn't work to.

*Checked the BIOS for any PCI IRQ stacks, nothing conflicted
all was good, nither the DMA.

*Removed any trace from of my old sound card from the
registry, rebooted and still DS not working.

*Did a totall, Uninstall, delete the files from windows.
installed and still, DS not working!!

*I even tried to downgrade my *Creatives Blaster TNT
hardware acceleration, and still no resault!

*I'v removed my Blaster TNT out of my comp and turned
on my On board AGP video card, still no resault. :(

HELP! What should I do?!?!?!?

here are my PC specs :

Win98 SE Retail
Pentium III 450 MHZ
128 MB Ram 133 MHZ SD-Ram
Maxtor 6.4 GB HD at 5400 RPM
Creative Blaster Riva TNT 16 MB
Fly Video 1 (A TV Tuner for the PC)

and

Creative Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 Digital (Value).


THX ahead!

Do you have Digital output Only Selected? Try unchecking it if it is.

tried this one two, no it's somthing else, and I think that's DX.

I'm a dwl dx 9.0c and see if it gives up somthin, by then I'll
be happy to get any possible help from you, guys.

THX, vid3r.

I corrected it! yeaha!

In case some one has fell over
this problem too, then here is
what i did to correct it :

1)If you installed your drivers,
uninstall them tottaly ! ! ! !

2)Now if you have a win98/se
with Direct X v7.0 installed,
then do the following :

-Install the drivers
------->Reboot
-Install Direct X v8.0/v8.1 or
Direct X v9.0/a/b/c
------->Reboot
This should correct it, in case
that you have win2000 or
winXP Home/PRO
*check your Direct X verssion
and if it's not the lattest
verssion, then download the
lattest verssion, install the
SB Live! 5.1 drivers, reboot,
then install the Direct X you
downloaded, and reboot again.
This should correct it

* =>To check your directx verssion
press start -> run -> and type : dxdiag.

! ! !=>NOTE: in case you got the lattest
version then search the web for an
directx uninstaller, download it and
the lattest verssion of Direct X,
uninstall your Direct X, using the
Direct X uninstaller, reboot, and
install the Direct X, that you have
downloaded before, reboot, and install
the SB Live! 5.1 dirvers, reboot and
your set!
