well my stupidity

but
still no sound

but no matter which input i put it on my winamp always works thru it
( the bars go up an down )

but nothing from guitar

do i need to maybe put a jumper on the sound card? one came with it, didnt read into it tho so have no clue what it does

also were did u get an adapter for ** guitar lead to make it fit the aux 2?

it works with the remote,

it has power and is hooked up to my sound card with a ide type cable

pluged sum headphones in an they dont work all the different modes etc bit confusing so i will have a mess

also when i put headphones in the front panel, it changes to headphones istead of speakers jus no sound comes out of the headphones

so may have faulty front panel then?

do use the same front panel in your pc?

utajoker · 23 Apr 2006 at 19:19

theres no option ive got to tick to make the pc use the front box for mic etc instead of the sound card do i?

utajoker · 24 Apr 2006 at 14:08

so do i have to set up the front port to use headphones?

i plug them into the back of the card and works fine, but front it the speakers stop but nothing comes thru the headphones.

volume knob is on full and headphones are def not broken,

headphones are the smaller plug an am using the addapter supplied btw

even tried in the creative media thing u do with remote, jus checked thru all settings nothing is muted.

i dont have to be in entertainment mode or what ever?

so far only thing ive managed to get working on the front panel is the infra red reciever. dont have any of the wire to test the other things
