Audio card is mute. What should I do?

[jeanone]

Today, I finished assembling my supercom finally!!!
What a nice pictures (eVGA 8800GTS 640MB). ( But the Windows Media Player refused to play old DVD, it says 'can not decode'.....)

But what a disappointment, I found there is no sound at all. ( card is SOUND
BLAST X-FI XTREME GAMER) I installed driver, no problem. I can see the computer recognize it. But NO SOUND. I tried everything, but no sound.

Then I made mother board built in sound (SOUNDMAX ADI AD1988B -8channel). MoBo is ASUS M2N32-SLI DELUXE. This is not very good sound.

What should I do with non-functioning SOUND BLAST?

Any tip to make it work? Or should I send it back. (I hate open the case again and ...all the trouble.... )

Please help me.

as far as the dvd not playing that happened to me before and all i had to do was download a codec online. it took me about 5 minutes max to get it working. i wanna say there was something i clicked that said learn more and it told me what i was missing. i just googled it found it and downloaded. it could be something else though....not sure. hope this helps

I don't know if this will help, but make sure that your speakers are plugged in properly :)
