I have two PCs with Windows XP Professional running.
I recently installed a Creative Sound Blaster Live!
on my main machine, with the
accompanied Creative software. Due
to unresolved conflicts, I decided to
remove the card, uninstall the
software and install it all onto a
secondary machine I have of a similar
spec. Thius worked fine in the second machine.
Upon removal from the first machine,
the only sound files my main machine
will play are .mid (MIDI) files.
The Microsoft Media player launches for .wav
files and if I attempt to play an audio CD, looks as
if it is playing them but no sound to
my speakers. The fact that I can hear .mid files suggests that the hardware
layer is fine and that I missing something frolm Windows XP (?).
I have tried to remove all possible
entries in the Registry, settings in H'W Manager and even BIOS relating
to "Creative", "Blaster", "SBLive" and MPU401
etc. but with no progress on fixing my
problem of not having sound.
Any assistance you could provide would
be appreciated as I did not set
a "Restore Point" and don't really
want to reinstall Windows if I can
avoid it.
