I don't mind to add the database updated of knowledge. Asking for help(in the XI forum as we are gamers and not all are Tech People) is a topic that people are giving at lot of suggestions and time into and we don't hear back of what the issues was. I rather have one clean sheet, "you" can share what PC it is, what is inside and the Operation system. What "you" have already tried and Googled to fix it. Personally for you.Always check the drivers if your motherboard is not older than 2,5 years old. Type in the brand and the type and also the Rev(ision) and grab that one first and see if Windows has a newer one or not (Windows drivers are always older because of the needed signature). Report back and in a few days of not solving this issue by the help here, hit me up by PM and maybe I can Teamviewer you for a bit. And have an 4GB USB stick ready and we will have fun.

I can hear the game fine, footsteps, shots, deathjs..ect...just cannot hear anyone talk or anyone can hear me. When i press Z, i see the chat speaker, but no one can hear me. I have tested my mike in the soundblaster set up and can hear it fine, in COD when i go to sound settings, I can see the chat bar move when i talk...I am at a loss...just reformatted my whole system again..will let you know if that fixes it Awards

Try to find older/newer or equal drivers for the Creative. 2. Pull out that sound card and see if your Onboard outputs are working. And or switch out USB ports if all looks good in your Device Manager. In game, I assume you have watched that Video clip I have posted? Z390 Pro Gaming, it must be a Windows 10 version. Good luck!

You can try uninstalling the driver. Restart the computer. And the computer will auto install the proper driver. Your into computers though. Im sure you tired all the driver recommend stuff before posting. Do you have no sound at all, or is it just through the head phones? Is there system sounds before entering a game? Awards

Looking at specs for this board I think the spend on sound card was wasted, but hey ho. Strongly suspect they are conflicting, try taking out sound card and drivers and trying only on board sound with drivers for motherboard. Also make sure your connectors are in correct holes as you now have two choices, if using sound card presume it has it's own? ps reformatting should be the very last resort, I have built many computers over the last thirty years and although problems like this are frustrating they are usually fixable without reformatting which is a pain in the arse. Calm down, go away and think about it, and above all note down on paper what changes you have made to resolve it. This is so you can go back to base and start again trying a different fix, if you don't you end up altering everything and don't know what you have done. Then go back to basics, just like an engine, in your case what sound things do you have, onboard, separate card, speakers, headset and how does your operating system blend these all together? Work in steps in a logical manner, above all write the changes down, especially in the bios. Worked for me every time, you'll get there. I have a separate sound card with it's own software, every time I switch on I have to configure in this software before I hear in game, despite hearing windows start up music. Update :- presume you've tried these from manufacturer ? https://support.creative.com/kb/welcome.aspx especially the general audio troubleshooting, I think you have the same as me, the manufacturers software is overriding windows and needs setting up, perhaps every time?

This is what gives you 7.1 surround sound effect and directional audio for games. Together with the audio boost 4 this should prove to be just as good as the SBZ
