Creative Audigy 2 being picky - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

This definitely makes me scratch my head in amazement.

I have an Audigy 2 (just vanilla) and I've had it for about 2 years now but recently I formatted so I went about installing all the drivers and all that good stuff. I come to install the sound card drivers and I decide why not just download right from the net so I do.

I think this is where my problems started but right now, its been about a week after the format and my sound card is being picky for some reason. Some things work and other things really just don't work at all. I could get Rome- Total War to work and WMP while playing music but anything other then that it doesn't work.

I ended up downloaded multiple drivers and sometimes I could actually get the sound to work... then I restarted and I was back to square one.

So I'm here right now after just updating drivers and installing the Creative software for the card (Mediasource I think its called?) and the best part is whenever I click it, I apparently don't have a sound card... but when I play RTW I have perfect sound.

I have no idea how to fix this and I can't find it anywhere on google or i'm just not looking hard enough. Any help would be great!

Can you see your sound card in device manager???
Do you have Service pack 2 installed??
How recent are the drivers for you sound card??
Why not just try the original drivers?

Maybe take your sound card out, power on, power off and reinstall.

Install the original drivers that came with the card. Once your system is up and running 100% again, update the drivers from the website.
