Anyone else having problems with Soundblaster Z in Windows 10?

Just updated to build 10130 and lost my sound. Reinstalled the 8.1 drivers from the SBZ website, but no luck. Anyone else having issues?

Weird thing is they were working on the previous build

Ah, nice one. Will give that a go in a bit.

Do you just change the sample audio rate in the Advanced tab of the Speaker Properties? I've just done that & rebooted, but still not getting any sound

Edit:
Oh, just clicked Restore Defaults & my sound is back. Weird.

I now also have a 192000 Hz option, so I guess MS played with all that stuff in 10130

Edit:
Ah, it's when it goes back to stereo that it works. 5.1 not working, even when I change the Hz.

Hmm that sucks. Hopefully Creative come out with new drivers soon - they did say early June.

apparently a fix from ms was released yesterday, can't say if it has or not

That's just the change to stereo fix unfortunately. You have to set the sound to stereo on every boot to get it working.
