sound blaster card

[rracnrod]

So im still having the sound issue with my comp. I was trying everything I could think of. I tried a few of the realtek audio driveers on this site and still nothing. I decided to try and use the sound blaster diagnoses tool and it tells me the computer cant detect a sound card. Well I tried 3 different sound cards and one out of my other comp that i know works and I even tried different slots. Thing that doesnt make sense is how does my controller work, and when I go to device manager it shows it there, and if I uninstall it it finds it and reinstalls it. How can it not detect it?

Thanks for any and all help

I looked for a way to disable the onboard and didnt find any, not that Im great at computer or anything like that. I tried the new drivers from creative. I have been using this card for about 5 years now cause it is the one that works best with my controller. I have had them go bad but it is usually on the controller side not the sound side.
I tried plugging the speakers into the the onboard and nothign came out there either. And when u go to sound device part in the control panel it says no device there and when I go to the tab to make sure it has the blaster chosen it is all greyed out.
Very odd that the controller works and that it finds it under add new hardware but then says it isnt connected.
Im so lost without sound.

Ok it is a sound balster live 5.1 I have 4 new ones that I have tried and 2 used that I know work cause they work in my other computer
I do have the cd and manual for them. I dotn have a cd for my speakers but dont believe it came with one.
When I do the SB test it says it cant detect a sound card and to uninstall it and make sure it is properly plugged in.
When I go to control Panel I cant test sounds or nothing. It just says no device. And u knwo where u go to like change the sound say for the recycle bin, it is greyed out I cant even push play. I also cannot adjust the volume or chose speakers cause it is greyed out.
I do not knwo what dxdiag is.

Cant use the Audigy 4 cause I need the joystick port for my controller. I have a racer simulator and the software for that was deisgned around the live. I even bought the last 8 new 5.1 blasters that creative had so i would make sure I had them for the future.

I tried one more time uninstalling everything and reinstalling everything with the disk and still nothing.

ok tried that and still nothing. It says somethign about audio mixer device now and then but not sure what that is. When I look in the properties of the card everything is enabled and working properly it says.
I tried the sound blaster diagnose again and it says it cant find a creative sound card. But it shows up in the device manager
I took the card out and put it back in my other comp and it works fine there
