Creative X-Fi Xtreme Audio plays no sound

Hi,

I installed my soundcard, everything works perfect. I installed drivers and i get no trouble at device manager. After I plug my headphones in and try to play music, i get no sound. At the sound options in windows i see the soundcard and it looks like it works, because the green bar goes up and down. I read that i need to turn onboard sound off in bios. I couldnt find it in my bios (Award Software F4), dont know why, so i deactivate onboard sound at device manager but it didnt work. Maybe someone knows the problem and can help me :)

Best regards,

Thank you for the help. I opened my computer and saw that there is a cable at the soundcard which isn't fitted. There are letters on it: AC 97 (http://ask.creative.com/wwimages/aud...ontpanel2a.jpg). Did I understand you correct and have to connect this cable to the mainboard?

Ah now i understand, but that can't be the problem, because the front panel headphone jack connection has already been moved from the motherboard to the separate sound card.

I'll do it tomorrow and give my experience. Thanks

The front panel headphone jack just works with Onboard sound. The AC 97 connector doesn't work, Soundblaster doesn't work with speakers...

System control -> hardware and sound -> sound -> right click SB X-Fi Xtreme audio -> properties ->connector information -> no connector informations available

Is that normal?
