I was having issues with sound distortion through my main speakers from the integrated audio, so I installed -Soundblaster Audigy Fx-
So far I have turned off the audio in BIOS / disabled the HD audio in device manager / made sure not to install the HDMI audio option on my graphics card / uninstalled and reinstalled all drivers for Sound blaster.
I have the plug connected to the center green plug on the new sound card and still no audio. . .I have tried plugging it into all ports and even tried my old speakers to no avail.
Windows is recognizing it in Device manager and the program for Sound Blaster loads up fine.
I am wondering if I just got a bad card?
