Last night I tried running my system @ 215 x 11 multiplier. Well, nothing ran stable, so I just gave up and put everything back to normal. I then found out that the Asus A8V board I have is the first version 1.02, so it doesn't have a pci/agp lock.

Well, today I loaded up CS to play some, and realized that I have no sound. So I checked all my settings on the Audigy 2 ZS, and they are the same as before. The only thing that I had changed in the last night was disabling onboard sound (which I had forgotten to do before installing the ZS) and overclocking. I've been uninstalling/reinstalling the hardware and drivers with no luck & no sound yet... so now I'm afraid that my puny 15mhz attempt at OC'ing may have fried my onboard card.

However, windows detects it, the creative diagnostics say it is fine, but I still have no sound!??!?! I even tried reenabling onboard sound, but nothing happened. I use headphones and a mic, attached through the livedrive bay... does anyone know what could be the problem? Does it sound like the card is not fried?

:confused:
