    Question 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....

    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.

    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!
