AND STILL after all this craziness I have "No Audio Device/No Audio Playback"

I have Recording (Sound Blaster Xi-Fi Extreme Audio) and Midi (Creative Soundfont Synthesizer volume controls).

check these out first


Check Control Panel/ Sound & Audio Devices/ Audio tab/ Sound Playback click on down arrow and check that the correct audio is selected. Typically the problem will be they something like "modem line 0 playback" might have been substituted for the proper audio device

Start / Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Component Services / a separate window will open – in left pane click Services(Local) from the tree / Scroll down to Windows Audio service / if the service is Disabled or Manual right click > select Properties > under Startup Type change to Automatic > click Apply / click Start > OK Reboot

let me know what happens
