Answer 1

Have you updated the sound card drivers? do you still have the sound icon in the bottom right taskbar? You dont state which version of windows your using, but here goes.

Check these too.

control panel
audio and sounds
check all volume levels
check speaker set up and volume
Under windows sounds windows default

The link below is to update drivers.

Good luck

Answer 2

IF "all hardware and drivers are good" your sound card would be working perfectly.

Check your BIOS settings again.

After Disabling on-board sound in the BIOS, in Windows, you may have to tell all your audio programs what sound device to use. They may still be trying to use your old sound device.

And yes, get the latest Creative drivers, the ones that come with the card, on CD, are surely out of date.
