I have this sound card that I took from another computer that I have.
The other computer is a Hewlett Packard and came with a set of three installation cd's that contain all of the drivers and driver programs for all of the hardware on the computer when I bought it.
I have got the drivers for this card from the internet and it works fine enough. My problem is that I have a set of 5.1 speakers, also Creative, and I cannot get them to work properly.
I have got the bass speaker, the two front and two rear speakers, all to work but I cannot get the centre speaker to function.
The only way I have found to get as many as I have working was to download a program from a site called the KX Project. This still will not get all the speakers to work.
The soundcard has a gameport and then a Black, Green, Pink, Blue and then an Orange/Yellow coloured port in that order looking at it from left to right whilst in the machine. I think that it is a 5.1 card from the description in the instructions for the speakers and from what I have read on the web.
If anyone knows what the problem could be could they try and help please. This is very frustrating and if I can avoid buying another sound card i would like to.
Thanks for reading this REALLY long winded question.
