SB Audigy 2 Platnium no sound out of every jack..

Aug 11, 2004 11:07AM PDT

I don't get sound out of every jack in the back of the card for some reason...I only get sound out of the Line Out 1 jack...that's the 4th plug counting from the IEEE plug...there are two others in between, Line Out 2 and 3..I have one set of spearkers (built into the SONY LCD) connected to line 3 and then have 4.1 speakers connected to either line 2 or 3 but neither work..they worked before...when I freshly reinstalled windows..it does not work under linux either...I don't know why it works on and off like that...any suggestions?

That makes sense. Two of the jacks are Line IN and Microphone. Those are input jacks and not outputs.

Possiblity. I ran into something like this.

When you reinstalled Windows, Windows forced its version of the SB drivers in.

Forcing Windows to let you force the SB drivers in may be a real magilla. Maybe go to the Creative tech support to get help, if that's the problem.

I had to remove a bunch of Windows crap from the registry to start over. [this was for SB Live 5.1]

Check your SPEAKER SETUP settings from the EAX control panel.

This just happened to me.

Go into device manager and uninstall all the creative stuff. Immediately after, start up the add new hardware wizard. Put the creative CD in one of your drives. After the wizard finds the creative hardware, tell it to look on the removeable media drives for the drivers. That should take care of it although it may suddenly reboot during the driver installation. If it does, let it finish after you get back into Windows.
