is my soundcard broken?

[theopetro]

i just got an SB audigy 2 ZS and 5.1 logitec x-530 speakers i hooked everything up and updated the drivers. the speakers work fine when pluged into the integrated audio but they wont work w/ counterstrike in the integrated audio. i put them in the sound card and i get constant static from the center speaker and nothing from the rest. when i play some music or something i can hear a bit from the center speaker but its muffeled by the static. what is going on here???

For the time being I would probably disable that integrated audio and get the audigy working correctly, but right now with 2 active sound cards, did you go to controlPanel and go into sound and audio devices and check audio properties and set things up properly as to how you want them to work as far as audio goes??

when the SB card is set as default then it doesnt work in games and i ge that static thing i was talken about. when i set my inegrated audio to default then i can hear in games fine over the new speakers

Don't think you read all of ktkendall's post. You need to disable the integrated audio before you can configure the SB card. It has to be disabled in the bios.

ooooo ok lemme go try that thanks for the help by the way i post here alot and this community seems vary helpful i appreciate it

k so i checked it in the bios and disabled the integrated audio. i went back into windows and tried to install the driver for it. i then realized that the colors on the card didnt match up w/ the diagram in the instructions.....i put the sticker on wrong :rolleyes: (ya i should be around a comp) so i did the 1 thing i prob shouldnt have and unpluged the speakers in the mid of the instilation and put them in the right jacks. this resulted in a bsod YAY my first one of my new build. im going to try and install them again w/o removing anything midway through and give an update when that finishes

welp i dont get static now ....i dont get anything....its like the speakers are all unpluged theres no sound comming out at all
