Hey there I hope someone can help me
I have just installed a new sound card on my windows xp professional system
But for the life of me I cant get it work,If i go to sytem properties via the control panel and look in device manager then I see the Sound Blaster 5.1 (my sound card) is loaded...so I think cool everything is ok....but its not .......If I look at control panel and go sound and video game controllers I see nothing on any of the tabs except hardware which lists my devices.
Both the drivers have the xp digital signing thing.
Under the hardware heading I have Creative SBLive!(WDM) and Creative SBLive!Gameport (few other things there)
Last thing is if i click on SBLive!(WDM) properties
and bring up another properties window
I see
1) Audio Devices
2)MIDI Devices and Instruments
3)Mixer Devices
4)Live Input Devices
For all the first 3 i get the message
Status: Driver is enabled but has not been started
what does the above mean
Any help to get my sound card to work
will greatly appreciated
PS
Should I change my XP from Fat32 to NTFS?
