Hello.

I have a few problems with my computer.
I have installed sound, specifically KX drivers for creative live 5.1.
I have an MSI motherboard, with soundcard already encorporated.
I bought a Soundcard from Creative. Creative Live 5.1.
But apparently it plays the beginning sound when i log on to windows,
then when I open up an mp3 on windows media player, it "plays", but no sound is coming out. Any reason it's doing this? Any suggestions would help.
Thank you.

you should try to play an mp3 with another media player like winamp what happens when you do that?

Hey, I downloaded Winamp and still, nothing happens. Plays normally, but no sound coming from speakers.
None are muted.
Thanks.

Please check Device manager....anything there (yellow !s)?

Also

Start > Run
eventvwr.msc

look under APPLICATIONS for RED Xs that occur around the time while attempting to play a sound.

And, just so we're certain....mediaplayer has as separate sound level control from the windows sound level--so you boosted both?

I found the problem. It was caused by the KX driver. I played around with the settings and it worked. Had nothing to do with the settings in control panel. Sorry for wasting your time, guys. And thanks a bunch.
