I have just bought a Creative Sound Blaster X FI xtreme gamer. I have put it in the PCI slot, however when i try to install the drivers it says no device found. I have looked at the card and it has a 4 pin slot.

Im guessing you need to plug something in there to get it working ??? but what. Sorry for the stupid questions but its my first sound card.
 
Core 2 duo e6600 2.4ghz
X1950 PRO
OCZ 520 watt
660 gigs hard drive space
2 gig ram
19 inch samsung monitor
windows vista business 32 bit

I cant turn my PC off as well.......since i put the sound card in.....
 
every time i try to install the drivers it says unable to detect sound device. Windows cant find it as well. Ive moved it to another PCI slot still no luck.
 
Asrock conroe esata2. I took the card to my mates house and put it in his PC. Windows did to detect it. However he had his on board sound enabled.

Im sure its working because when i put it in my PC and turn it off. windows turns off but the fans and lights in my PC carry on working.

Take the card out and it shuts down as normal.
 
Sorry i was unclear.

Heres what i did:
Uninstalled the old on board drivers.
Turned them off in the BIOS.
Put the new sound card into the PCI slot
Installed the drivers
Message pops up saying device was not found.

I checked in device manager and no new hardware was found when i scanned for it.

So i took it to my friends house and put it his PC. His pc COULD NOT detect the sound card as well.

Also when i have the sound card in my PC, and turn off my computer, windows will Shut down but the lights and fans in my pc stay on.

I asked a local computer guy and he said the card sounds broken.

Hope thats more clear.
