dxr3 - no sound at all?

[Therm0pyle 0]

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.

I've had absolutely no prob with the Creative player since i installed it by using the Sigma drivers first. I did have to completly uninstall everything before installing the Sigma drivers though - I had tried other things first. Have you tried that (uninstall all players, the NT4 and the Sigma drivers then reinstall in order)? Also I installed the new Live!2000 from creative and I even got the cool Playcenter DVD player to work without a problem too (this last install got updated the Disk Detector so that it works perfectly too)

Yeah... tried that already

Same prob here ..... however, I can get sound through the port on the back of the dxr3 card itself.

 

I can also play PowerDVD just fine with sound.

 

Only catch with my setup is that my speakers are USB, so I wasn't expecting much with the decoder card for sound.

Make sure that there is an audio cable going from your DXR3 to your sound card. Also double-click on the volume icon in the system tray and make sure that the appropritate device is unmuted and that the volume is sufficiently high. If you can't get any of that to work, get an external cable to connect the Line-out of the Dxr3 to the Line-in of the sound card to verify that your Dxr3 is outputting sound.

One more thing. If you are changing the audio settings in the DXR3 player software, make sure you close the application after you make a change. Then when you reopen it, the new setting will be used.

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!

Lol.. that fixed it! Thanks again man!

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
