Sound card issues

[looqas]

So, open the case and try reseating first. If it's not helping then move on the next phase.

Might be a good idea first to see if you got drivers for the Audigy available.

Then uninstall/remove the card from Control Panel -> Device Manager before changing PCI slot. You can actually remove the card from Device Manager before reseating or anything. This helps you put the finger on the issue a bit more precise. If the reseated and reinstalled card in your current slot is still not working it time to try the last trick up your sleeve. Change the PCI slot.

Throughout the process:
Let Windows search the standard drivers for HDD and let it search them from the net.

I doubt that your problems are caused by the corrupt drivers, because software is not fickle either and does not really explain the behaviour you are experiencing.

My very educated bet is that the problem is in HW. So options are in this case reseating or trying a new PCI slot. Good luck.


Edit: The sentences make better sense and grammatical side looked into.
