Anybody else having this problem? I followed the instructions that have been posted on the boards so many times, installed the sigma drivers, the nt dxr3 drivers, and installed the creative application, but although the program runs and the video appears fine, I get absolutly no sound. Tried all 3 available options, analog, pcm, and ac3 I think the other was, none of them worked at all. I can use powerdvd, however, w/o any sound problems at all, so it would seem that I have everything hooked up correctly. I have the Live! x-gamer, and i've used both the drivers that install with win2k, the dell drivers, and the win2k drivers that were recently released, and none of them work. Does anybody have any ideas as to what I could try doing to fix this? I really don't want to wait till creativelabs puts out drivers for this, they're taking forever. I can't believe the b@stards actually took the time to update they're win2k driver release page to make it look a little bit nicer, surely the week this probably took them could have been spent making halfway decent drivers? Anyway, thanks for any help you can come up with.

Actually.. considering the way that fixed my problem, I imagine that anybody w/ garbled or choppy sound could fix it the same way, if the problem w/ the drivers is that the dxr3 simply isn't passing the audio to the sound card correctly... So if your sound is messed up, try doing that, would probably fix. Somebody tell me if I'm just on crack here btw

Lol.. that fixed it! Thanks again man!

Heh I didn't try the audio port on the back of the dxr3, hadn't realized there was one. Did do the other stuff already, but I'll give that a shot. Thanks!

Yeah... tried that already

Has anybody tried using the new dxr3 drivers that was having trouble w/ the old ones? They do say it doesn't support win2k but I doubt that would keep people from trying anyway.

I tried those instructions and I don't get any sound at all, on any of the settings, which blows. Powerdvd appears to work fine, but it doesn't use the decoder card. Tried removing it completely, then going through those steps with a reboot in between each step, same thing, no sound. Did it again with no reboots until all steps were finished, still no sound. If powerdvd wasn't working I might think that I had plugged something in incorrectly, but since it is? I'm really getting quite tired of waiting for the creative drivers, dunno why it's taking them so long, they don't even have an eta for em yet... and the dxr2 has drivers, already, too
