i just signed up on this forum to ask this question only, dont have time to search

i got a creative soundblaster live 5200 5.1surround sound system

Dell computer with inboard sound

i installed the card just fine i disabled the onboard sound (at least i thought i did)

been workin for a couple months, now all of a sudden it will work one second, then no audio devices will be set, and nothing will work, no sound

in audio devices everything will be greyed out i can't add nothing or select nothing

soundblaster is still installed in the device manager
it looks like this:

audio codecs (disabled)
Creative Game Port (enabled)
Creative SB Live! series (enabled)
Legacy Audio Drivers (disabled)
Legacy video Capture Devices (disabled)
Media Control Devices (disabled)
Video Codecs (disabled)

ive uninstalled the creative stuff twice now

im going to uninstall it all again, enable back everything make it like it was before i bought the stuff

i need to know exactly what to disable so nothing will interfere with this

its makin me mad
