  Just put the sig rig together and for some reason the sound card isn't working. Windows is detecting it and can run tests but I am not getting any sound on the speakers or the headphones.
  TIA, Calamity
  Are you sure you selected the right playback device?

  Pretty sure but I can't be certain.
  With my Essence STX it defaults to using the digital out and or the default onboard audio outs. Have you install the sound drivers for the card?
  If you have and you are sure that the STX is selected as the output device, open the Xonar Control Panel and than hit the down arrow to open the lower pane of the console. Change the output device to what ever you are using.
  I installed the latest drivers and what not. I set the output to the speakers and it shows that it is testing but there is no sound. As I said, none on the speakers when I test the speaker setting and none on the headphones when I test the headphone setting.
  Is this the PCI=E or PCI version?

  Do you have the Molex power cable plugged in?
  Yup. couldn't install the drivers if it wasn't.
  did you restart your computer after the driver installed? what output are you using? picture would be great!
