My ZS has disappeared.

It was working fine yesterday. I tried to play some music in Winamp today and got an error.

I went to Sounds and Audio Devices and, under the Volume tab, it says "No Audio Device."

The Audio tab says "No Playback Devices."

I went to creative.com and downloaded the latest driver (released January 06). I uninstalled all my Creative software and drivers and ran the new driver. After a restart the ZS is still gone.

Device Manager shows a yellow exclamation point next to "Multimedia Controller." I selected updated driver and got "Cannot Install this Hardware" because it "cannot find the necessary software." The only Creative device listed is Creative Game Port.

How do I get XP to recognize my ZS?
 
try changing pci slots. every creative soundcard i've owned has stopped working in the bottom pci slot after a few months of use. :rolleyes:
 
Ughhh....I have had that happen several times. Mert knows the story, too :p
Yeah, try diff a diff slot....that has always worked for me.
 
Wow, I keep reading so many screw ups with creative cards but my cheapo audigy 2 value hasnt given me any problems 2 years later. :Knocks on wood:
 
Switched slots and then reinstalled the driver and it's still gone.

What else should I try?
