no sound

[misuk11]

this is driving me mad !! windows seems to be randomly switching my system sound on and off. I just restored it to default settings and it worked ok, then for no reason it stopped working. I have an emu 1820m soundcard which has been working perfectly now its not !

nothing i do will get my sound back. Ive reinstalled the drivers, rebooted, checked all properties, nothing works !!!

can anyone help ?

im using the emu soundcard drivers which are supposed to work with windows 7 64bit. After reinstalling for a 3rd time, the system sounds are working again, makes no sense !

Windows Vista Compatibility Creative E-MU 1820M Digital Audio System Firewire here is the microsoft link it also contains a link to the manufacturers website hope that helps ,its an old card have you tried to load the drivers in compatibility mode for vista ?

that is the driver i have installed. As I said, it was working perfectly for a while, then it just stopped for no reason. The only thing I changed was in cubase from the standard ASIO driver to the EMU specific one to give me lower latency, maybe thats what caused it, it was very odd though, I got the system sounds working then they stopped
