And I can't find the source of the problem.
My pc's completely muted - no system sounds, no mp3 sounds, no dvd sounds, no youtube sounds...
At first I thought the Z5500 blew the subwoofer fuse, it happened once. But the control panel lights up, and if I press the 'test' button on the remote I can hear the "shhhh" sound from all the speakers. So they're functioning well.
In the Device Manager, I see no yellow "!" anywhere.
In Control Panel - Sounds and Audio Devices, my Xtreme Music sound card shows up. Nothing is greyed out. It gives me the option to test out the sounds of the XP sound scheme, I press 'play' and time passes as if the sound is really being played but I hear nothing.
Now the last thing I did with this pc was to try and get 2 x 1GB Crucial Ballistix work together with 2 x 1GB Elixir RAM (which didn't work out because voltage requirements were too different for both brands of ram and at the end I just left only the Ballistix in).
When I was doing this experiment however I hadn't powered on the Z5500's so I can't say if I did have sound yesterday or not.
And moreso, I doubt that a bit of RAM experimenting could have caused all this?
I am also sure (and have re-checked) that I plugged in the green/black/orange wires of the Z5500 securely to the back of the Xtreme music.
Is there something I'm missing out?
Anyone can give me a clue where to check next please?
Any help very appreciated - I miss my speakers' sound, and that of the laptop obviously isn't as awesome
Btw this problem is of my desktop with the following specs (not the ones in my system specs):
E4300 @ 3.0Ghz
Asus P5B
2 x 1 GB Crucial Ballistix @ 833Mhz 4-4-4-12
BFG 8800GT OC2
X-Fi Xtreme Music
