Hello,

I've just reinstalled my XFI Elite and its breakout box on 64 bit Windows 7.
It's working fine apart from the breakout box is dead.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled the driver, the floppy disk power connector is connected to the back of the card.
Is there anything you have to do to activate/enable it or does anyone have any other suggestions.

Cheers all
Happy Christmas.

if you use add on soundcard you need to disable onboard sound, read the manual book of your motherboard, some just thru bios but the other by jumper
if its right after booting the system will find new hardware and try to locate the driver
make sure the driver run on your OS or update the driver from its official web

if it undetected try to clean the contact area and the slot or slot in on other slot

hope it works

Thanks for your help.
What it was was that there is a bit of plastic the seperates the pins of the floppy disk power connection at the end of the PCB (part of the sound card). It had slid forward and was not allowing the power connector to attatch fully.
I just pushed the plastic bit all the way back and then put the connector on and it worked.
Happy days.
Cheers
