I am using Creative Sound Blaster Z my latest update driver is located
here. I've tried SBZ_CD_L13_1_01_10.exe on
Creative web site as it glitches my sound card out and behaving weirdly like switching sides of speakers or headphones as I was listening to music. The audio disappears completely after 5 or 30 mins of gaming online or stuck on game audio like someone was talking; Hey! Mr. SrslyJoker, How are you toddddddd.....ddaaaa.....ddaaayyyyyyyyyy....( endless glitched & it will not stop until I leave server or exit game) (Counter-Strike: Source) As Version 6.0.102.0051 never given me issues, well, until now.
So, Everything was working fine as the last updates were before this happened, which was for
BlueStacks 3 update and BS3 tells me to go
here. The other update was Steam Link Firmware. Eleven days later after the Intel update, my Audio went out suddenly on that day when I turned on my Desktop. The only sound options were steam link audio and microphone and Nvidia Audio.
I've checked my Device Manager too.
I've tried Drive Booster 5 and that didn't fix anything either.
I've unplugged everything from the wall to the power strip, the computer, and I even have taken out the sound card and put it back in and I have taken it out again as I booted up the PC without the sound card.
I was so frustrated as my patience went out to the point I've failed to do the #1 thing that I've always do of backup everything. But this time, I didn't do any backup of my drivers because of my frustration. So, I didn't realize it until afterwards, I deleted the audio drivers.
OH BOY! No Audio drivers detected...Palm Face.
Every time I tried to install any driver or software for the Sound Blaster Z, I get an error.
I've tried Ashampoo Driver Updater couldn't find any issues. Master Cleaner found the driver, but it got the same install error and EasyDriver couldn't find it.
