Regarding the original post...

Did you go into the Windows Control Panel, Sound, Playback, and make sure the SB X-Fi speakers were the default device still?



digital was back then and i was unable to chose the speakers as it said device not found.

Starting to think i killed the sound card.

Got all my speakers working thru 7.1 setting (there 5.1) so it works for now.

Card should still be functional, just not in your system with that VC. Toss it in another system with an older VC and it should work again.

maybe the missing cord is the problem? just go to radio shack and grab one for a few bucks. look up the output volts @ amps of the original and grab a dupe

I've never seen a sound card that required power from an external source (powersupply). This is an X-Fi extreme gamer (Dell OEM version) I have one in my computer now and it does not require external power.

As long as your happy with the Onboard and everything else is functioning, thats what matters.


The fact that it DISAPPEARED from the DM shows that there is a hardware level conflict and not a driver issue. If it were only a driver issue, it would still appear in the DM but could not operate.

it might not be a power cord its just a yellow cord thats pluged into the SC and would it still show if the card fried?

Card miraculously got fried when you inserted the new VC and the computer continued to function normally....not likely.
