ARRR I'm completely stumped here with me sounds

[wasabihead 0]

seriously

 

at first I was getting winamp up and I get the direct sound output error... so I searched around here and took the advice of some of the replies to that...

 

only I still don't get sound, and at that point I realized foolishly that I'm not getting sound at all

 

so I looked at my device manager and apparently all my audio drivers are working properly...

 

I just don't get it X[] >:?

 

the only option I can think of now is re-formatting, but I really don't want to do that...!

 

please, help would be much appreciated!

Ok, I re-formatted my computer anyway, but I still don't get any sound, there's nothing wrong with my speaker, I tried using a cd player with it and its crystal clear,

 

then the problem at hand is the drivers..! ...most probably

 

I have a creative audioPCI128 ensoniq (ES5880)

its relatively old and they don't update it anymore

so my updates are very limited...

 

 

I tried going to driversguide and creative labs and use any drivers that fit my driver, but to no avail I still can't get my audio ;_;

 

however, I managed to get distortion when the trademark windows sound loads up whenever I start my computer

 

so I tried up[censored] my driver that apparently fixes that error, and it fixed it!

 

well

 

only half of it, then the distortion came back...

 

PLEASE ANY HELP WOULD SUFFICE, THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

I'm not sure if this will help you or not but they do discuss your soundcard there.
