seriously
 
at first I was getting winamp up and I get the direct sound output error... so I searched around here and took the advice of some of the replies to that...
 
only I still don't get sound, and at that point I realized foolishly that I'm not getting sound at all
 
so I looked at my device manager and apparently all my audio drivers are working properly...
 
I just don't get it X[] >:?
 
the only option I can think of now is re-formatting, but I really don't want to do that...!
 
please, help would be much appreciated!

Ok, I re-formatted my computer anyway, but I still don't get any sound, there's nothing wrong with my speaker, I tried using a cd player with it and its crystal clear,
 
then the problem at hand is the drivers..! ...most probably
 
I have a creative audioPCI128 ensoniq (ES5880)
its relatively old and they don't update it anymore
so my updates are very limited...
 
 
I tried going to driversguide and creative labs and use any drivers that fit my driver, but to no avail I still can't get my audio ;_;
 
however, I managed to get distortion when the trademark windows sound loads up whenever I start my computer
 
so I tried up[censored] my driver that apparently fixes that error, and it fixed it!
 
well
 
only half of it, then the distortion came back...
 
PLEASE ANY HELP WOULD SUFFICE, THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!
