Re: Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro problems
These bloody drivers are taking the mick.
I must have jinxed myself by viewing this thread earlier because I got home, put a DVD on and all the sounds apart from the music were almost inaudible.
I checked my speaker settings and guess what?
The speaker selection box was blank, again. 
Now to uninstall/reinstall..

Re: Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro problems
I am, same drivers as before.
I don't understand how they can magically **** up on their own.
It worked this morning but I get home from work and it doesn't...PC's been on all day as usual too so there's nothing during a bootup that could change it.

Re: Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro problems
BTW in your registry what does it say under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Multimedia\So und Mapper\Playback
For my system it shows the correct Device as it appears in Sounds and Audio devices.

Re: Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro problems
Yeah, it's my sound card.
It still plays stuff, listening to mp3s is fine.
I guess I'll just have to routinely uninstall/install from now on...

Yeah, but what im getting at is that this is where the default device for playback of sound is stored, so IF is here in the registry is should be also shown in the Sound and Audio devices as your default device for playback of sound.
I think that chances are that you might have a "blank" device in there from a previous installation that has got corrupted.
Perhaps the next time you uninstall a good regclean might help.
