Sound Blaster Live! & Kx - Windows 7 (NO SOUND!!!!)

Morboth · Oct 31, 2009, 07:24 PM

Well, after hesitating for some days I finally decided to get my hands on the brand new OS everyone is talking about, namely: Windows 7 (x86); however, much to my dismay the Creative Drivers don't work in the new OS (rending thus my computer unable to produce sound), and after hours of surfing the web to find a possible solution, I stumbled (once again

) upon Kx... and decided to give them another try...

So, I installed the 3550 version, and rebooted and everything seemed to be just fine... except... there's still no sound!! (perhaps it's just a matter of settings, maybe I have to set my headphones in the mixer or something)... I am DESPERATE to find a solution ASAP... Suggestions?

Thanks in advance!! =)

EDIT: I used the test function in the mixer, and since it showed the "Unable to produce sound" popup, it clearly is not a matter of the headset... but rather of real inability to produce sound

1st Solution: Try all outputs by setting them to standard.
2nd Solution: Enter Windows 7 Bootmenu by pressing F8 BEFORE the Windows logo appears. Then choose "Last known good configuration (advanced)

3rd: In some cases the lineout output on your soundcard is routed to REAR by KX driver... Change this in the KX mixer
