Sound Problems

[Rachel]

Ok, I am lost. I am fairly good with computers but I am stumped. My computer
crashed recently-hard drive wiped out, paid a repair man to fix but even he
couldn't fix my sound problem. I finally got it to work but it was really bad
sound so I decided to upgrade my speakers, big mistake. Now I have NO sound.
At first it was garbled and I tried some trouble shooting tips and now there
is nothing. Can someone please link me to

1. Drivers i should have already on my computer - Windows XP

2. I also have Sound Blaster Live 24 - downloaded but help me make sure it's
set as default.

3. Help me make sure all my programs under Sounds, games and video's and
other applicable places are all set to the correct settings for Windows.

I know I'm not asking for much LOL but if anyone could PLEASE help I would
greatly appreciate it soooo much! Thank you!

Your post is not clear.

- Do you actually have a Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit sound card
physically installed in your computer?
- Do you have a built-in motherboard sound capability, and if so, did
you disable it before attempting to install the SB card?
-What did you download and from where? http://tinyurl.com/69ex6u
- Did you install the drivers you downloaded?
