Creative speakers and card
Hi guys, I know I am off topic but...I bought a 5.1 550 creative sound
thingy a couple of years ago. When I migrated boxes and operating systems from 98se to XP Pro I found that only three of my speakers work. Worse yet, the old CD would not reinstall in XP Pro And further worst yet ( bummer ) I wrote Creative, they replied wanting all thenumber which I supplied. I then called and they said sure,the disk would be on the way. It was, came Fed Ex in only a few days, but it does not work either. The sound is horribly garbled and has all sorts of added noise. Can anyone tell me what to do? The creative list has had a horrible time dealing with Creative. I have not had problems, they just can't make it work. Thanks for any help---and don't go away, even if we have to chip in occasionally.

Check the web site for the latest drivers.
Uninstall all sound drivers in safe mode, reboot in normal mode, then install the software if XP does not find the drivers automatically. "Robert Hale" wrote in message ...
