Have a sound Blaster X-Fi, love the card and its has given me problems before but now its just gone to buggery.
Left the Pc its was playing fine, came back ( about 10 mins later) it wouldn't play back sound and stopped the players ( iTunes/ Soundcloud) from playing back, occasionally you got the odd click but that was it.
Have taken it out, tried another slot and uninstalled the drivers and associated programmes, but the PC ( W8) just isn't picking it up right ( though this has happened before to my annoyance)
Manager is seeing it as a Multimedia Audio controller, and that's it, update driver yields no results, its location shows fine.
Creative driver will not install as it comes up with a message about not being able to detect any of its hardware.
Running out or I am in fact out of ideas.
Just to add, Motherbaord built in sound works fine.
Any thoughts?
