I recently reformatted my computer just for spring cleaning and now my sound does not work.
Main system specs:
Intel Pentium 4 3.2GHz
Microsoft WindowsXP Professional
Nvidia GeForce 6800 128MB graphics card
Creative Audigy LS sound card

I reformatted, installed all the necessary drivers for the sound card, etc. No sound is able to work. I have all the necessary codecs installed (DivX) but no system sounds play either (except for the internal computer speaker that only beeps). The device manager lists the sound card as installed without any conflicts. Every option in the sound properties has the sound card enabled and set to be used for sound.
The onboard sound AC '97 has been disabled as well. The only potential conflict that I have been able to see is the sound card and graphics card are on the same IRQ (16).

Yes, the speakers are connected properly and the volume is not muted.
I appreciate any and all help, thanks ahead of time.
