s sound x64 vista

Well I got my Audigy 2 value sound card to be recognized finally, by using the xp-64 drivers...
But now I have a problem that I still can't hear any sound. When you look at your tool bar the speaker icon has a red x next to it..
When you click on it it says : The Audio service is not running,,,
When you open it it says : This computer cannot play audio because the Windows Audio Service is not enabled. Would you like to enable the Windows Audio Service,,,
when I click yes it opens a window that says Audio Devices..
Under Audio Output (playback) Devices it shows Play control Creative SB Audigy 2 (WDM) with a green tick next to it..
open the properties and every thing looks normal..
Starting to get frustrated with it..... doghhhhhhh
Anyone have any ideas?

try right click on sound icon click system sound events under sound sound scheme click windows default "Barry & Melissa" wrote:

Yeah I have the same problem, but with both my old Audigy 1 Platinum and the Realtek on board audio card. I do hope its just the lack of proper x64 drivers from creative that doing this, not Vista.
Unless there is another method to hear sound with x64..

Check all your cable settings on the Sound card if you are using the 2 Channel setting then the input would be at the middle of the soundcard.
