Creative SB X-Fi sound card problems with vox!!
I have a HP
AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+
994 MHz, 1.50 GB of RAM
I installed a Radeon X1300 video card. Working fine. However the sound card is messed up. What I know, is that I uninstalled it and all the junk that I originally installed from the disk. Then, I took out the card and put in back in and only installed the drivers from the disk. I also downloaded updated drivers from the Creative web site. In my Bios page the mother board is disabled. In Dive Manager under sound, video etc.. This is what is listed: Audio codecs, Creative SB X-Fi, Hauppauge WinTv PVR PCI II, Legacy Audio Driver, Legacy Video Capture Devices, Media Control Devices, and Video Codecs and in that order. I get no vox during game, however in windows I can record and play back on my headset. Sometimes I do have vox but it is in and out and no one can really understand me. My volume controls are set, Silat helped me with that. I have wireless connection and usually on low signal strength, however my frame rate is always above 60. So my question is what is the problem and should I just get rid of the card and use the mother board Sound Card? Please any input would help, about to get rid of this new computer!!

Is that a wireless router or a wireless modem? If its a router, what brand and model?
Unrelated to the vox issue, if it's a wireless router, can you plug a cable into it or are you stuck with the wireless connection? Wireless really isnt a good choice for gaming. You make the best of what you have of course.

Also....I at one time bought a new SoundBlaster2ZX soundcard. It woulld not work no matter what I did. I found out later that at that time VIA Chipsets did not sit well with SB2. I had to uninstall the SB2ZX card and all it's drivers and programs and reinstalled a SB Live 5.1 which I took out.
Everything worked fine afterwards.
Don't know if Creative has settled the issues with the via chipsets. Someone else might know.
