| Soundblaster Audigy 2 card!! Need help!! |
 |
|
Any experts in soundcards could you please analyse my problem?! I've recently installed my Audigy 2 card but have had truble getting sound out of it. I seem to be picking up a fuzzy kinda noise when I open my audio files and instead hear a faint resemblance to my music.
My computer came with an onboard soundcard attached to the motherboard and I think there may be another one connected from the front panel of my computer (I can't remove the front panel to see).
My question is, is there a problem/ fault with my soundcard or is it to do with my setup? Or is it because I haven't connected the speakers correctly (I'm using tsunami 5.1 digital speakers). It is fitted into the PCI slot and it appears in the hardware properties that 'the device is working properly'. I have got music coursework to finish ontop of a maths course so I need to be able to get my sound up and running quick! Pplleeeeze HeLP Me!!! thankz |

Plug some headphones in the headphone socket on your card, do you get audio there?
It's a case of troubleshooting.

Tried that, didn't work. I did go into the soundcards properties though and it says that my driver is not 'digitally signed'. What does this mean? Could this be the problem if so, how do I deal with it? Your help and response is much appreciated. |

OK so we now know it isn't your speakers, how can it be, if there is no sound coming from the headphone socket even right?
Where are you playing the music from a CD? or from the hardrive? Is there a mixer with fader and mute buttons?

I play my music from hardrive. Even the simplest of sounds cannot be heard such as the windows starting music etc. Just some fuzzy noise. I don't have a mixer or any peice of eqipment other than the speakers. The only time I hear sound is when I plug the speakers into the CD-Rom drive which isn't actually connected to my soundcard. Do you suggest I connect the soundcard and cd rom drive? |

Ok, sounds like a configuration error of some type.
This is the manual for the product
Audigy 2 Manual
Go to the troubleshooting section and complete each of the steps in order to eliminate the possible problems.
Then we can move on from there.
