Bluegears b-enspirer will not work, even w/W7 drivers
Hello,
As a last resort before uninstalling Windows 7 I thought I might pose a question here. I have been using a Bluegears b-Enspirer with XP for a couple of years. Recently I did a clean install of W7 32-bit on a brand-new hard drive. The sound card simply does not work. No system sounds, no music, etc. I have already tried uninstalling the default drivers, removing the card, reinstalling in a different PCI slot, and installing the W7 drivers available from the Bluegears website. No dice.
I like to think I am not a complete idiot but I can't figure a way around this. Yes, I've checked all the obvious stuff (levels, mute, old drivers, etc) as well as checking the card on another machine - it's fine. Not sure what else to try at this point.
It doesn't take a lot of searching to see that a ton of people are having sound card issues with W7. Is there a fix other than "Go download the updated drivers"?
