[17:33] Einhander Sn0m4n: ah this sucks
[17:33] Einhander Sn0m4n: I got the driver installed and now theres no sound
[17:33] Spyda 0 0 0 0 0: Did you get my PM?
[17:34] Einhander Sn0m4n: I installed the aud_eax4drv one
[17:34] Spyda 0 0 0 0 0: It didn't work? Buggery
[17:34] Einhander Sn0m4n: but now the damn thing's got no sound
[17:35] Spyda 0 0 0 0 0: what does device manager tell you?
[17:35] Einhander Sn0m4n: sez everything's hunky dory
[17:36] Spyda 0 0 0 0 0: Have you checked for stupid problems? Speakers all hooked up, volume turned up in systray ect, ect
[17:36] Einhander Sn0m4n: yup
[17:36] Spyda 0 0 0 0 0: cool, I often fall for those
[17:37] Spyda 0 0 0 0 0: hmm....difficult to say what the issue could be.
[17:41] Spyda 0 0 0 0 0: What's your primary sound device set to?
[17:42] Einhander Sn0m4n: the audigy
[17:42] Einhander Sn0m4n: and I made sure everything is set to use it
[17:42] Spyda 0 0 0 0 0: ok, that kills that theory
[17:43] Einhander Sn0m4n: maybe my dumb ass may have connected the headphone wires wrong
[17:43] Spyda 0 0 0 0 0: Often it's usually something simply like that
[17:44] Einhander Sn0m4n: fixed!
[17:44] Spyda 0 0 0 0 0: What was the problem?
[17:45] Einhander Sn0m4n: black wire, second hole away from the 1394 hole
[17:45] Einhander Sn0m4n: had it in the fifth because it said 'digital out'
[17:46] Spyda 0 0 0 0 0: Yeah, thought it might be something like that.
[17:46] Spyda 0 0 0 0 0: I always get caught up with some stupid wiring missmatch
[17:46] Einhander Sn0m4n: ok, got that fixed; now just to get the damn sound to come in through BOTH speakers instead of just left
[17:47] Spyda 0 0 0 0 0: A plug that's not all the way in will cause that
[17:47] Einhander Sn0m4n: FIXED AGAIN!
[17:47] Spyda 0 0 0 0 0: Also, balance in mixer
[17:47] Spyda 0 0 0 0 0: Was it the plug or balance?
[17:48] Einhander Sn0m4n: plug!
[17:48] Spyda 0 0 0 0 0:
[17:48] Einhander Sn0m4n: I factored in a massive counter-bias but that wasnt needed once I got the plug in
[17:49] Einhander Sn0m4n: this thing sounds AWESOME
[17:49] Einhander Sn0m4n: Mind if I publish this convo to SDnet?
[17:49] Spyda 0 0 0 0 0: Go for it
