It's the audio driver Windows has fucked over

As they always do

that's ez

Tried reinstalling it?

Yep

Reinstalling it immediately blue-screens

if you're so salty, switch to linux then, faggot

Haven't seen X-Fi platinum name for a audio driver before

linux is shit, i switched away from it because it didn't have functional audio drivers

Windows 10 is alright if you don't count the ads, the forced telemetry and the amazing settings that got moved all over the place and some of which don't do anything, depending on where you access them from <:smugon:512048583806025739>

you just tinker with computers too much

Is it not even getting past startup?

windows 10 is windows 7 in a dress

stop tinkering and it will work fine

i gtg shortly, but no, i'm in windows now, just with no audio

More like start tinkering <:smugon:512048583806025739>

*make your own OS*

i'd be still using xp if it were my choice

also- a more updated sound card should be damn cheap, yours is indeed out of service

always can revert

imagine having an out of date card and complaining it doesn't work, lmao

Try updating windows

It is known to have issues with a particular update.

Well- the last driver for his card is june 2019

Not that old

And he's gone.

not at all, not sure if he tried the update...

Oh well

lol

oof

took me a long time to get it to work in win 10 at all

fucking microsoft, they're fucking dicks, always breaking shit

Try updating Windows 10 or roll back updates

The other day I installed one current version win10. The setup presented me a choice! A choice! Me! An unwashed pleb! It allowed me to choose between targeted ads that use the stolen data and just general random ads.

How about they give me an option for *no* ads? Like, I dunno, every single windows OS before it?

I mean its before 2008 I mean cmon.

Do you have a spare $400 to replace it for me, Louis?

I do but I'm not charity.
