Pull out my soundblaster card.. now it doesnt work? (pics included)

my soundblaster card was working fine. i had to change some sata cables in my computer and to get to it, i had to pull out the soundblaster card temporary. now the card doesnt produce any sound when i plug in my 3.5 headphone jack into it.
fatality logo lights up.. so far so good..

last off topic question.. im not sure which one of these cables to plugin into my mobo.. (hd audio or ac 97). when i use the 3.5 jack thats located on the front of the computer. is it using onboard audio instead?

OMFMs.jpg shows a problem, actually. "High Definition Audio Device" is your onboard sound - not the X-Fi. It's showing both outputs for the onboard, but only the S/PDIF output for your X-Fi. This either means that it's not detecting that anything's plugged in and automatically suppressing itself or that it's simply not working. Right-click on the Playback control panel in the centre part and check that both Disabled and Disconnected devices are showing and check for the X-Fi's speaker output to see if its existance is even being acknowledged.
If nothing is showing, try reinstalling the drivers. Just the drivers - no need to bother with the rest of the software. You shouldn't need to uninstall anything, rather just install over the top of what's already there.
Currently your sound is being directed through your onboard audio. Ideally, unless there's a specific reason for you having both enabled, you should probably disable your onboard audio through BIOS, or at least the Device Manager, if you're exclusively using the X-Fi for audio.
As for your second question, you should be using the HD Audio plug. Electrically the two are compatible but there are extra features offered by the HD Audio setup which don't exist on the AC97 standard. However if you plug this into your motherboard than you will in fact be passing your onboard sound through to the front jacks, rather than your X-Fi's audio. Check your X-Fi card along the front and top edge - there should be a 10-pin (one missing) connector which also accepts the HD Audio plug, which will in turn feed your X-Fi through to the front jacks.

  • Pulled out my sim card, now Facetime wont' activate

    I pulled out my sim card earlier this week and put it back in. I realized my face time was off. so i went to turn it back on.. but all it does now is say "waiting for activation"
    why is this?
    it won't activate at all. any solutions.
    i've tried many solutions but without any luck.
    as well, sometimes I turn on facetime, it automatically turns itself back off. what gives?

    Only on the iPhone.  FaceTime with iPod Touch, iPad and MacOS has no such requirement.

  • Pull out the SIM card without turn off

    What would happen if I pull out my SIM card without turn off my iPhone? Is it harm my phone?

    Probably not. I've certainly done it on a number of phones, unintentionally. But it's not best practice.

    My iphone is only 6 months old and I am experiencing the same problems. I have already had to have the phone swapped once with a phone that has a blown speaker.

It was speratic but last night, same ERROR message as you. As you know, if forces you to restore which caused me to loose valuable information and documents. insert loud profanity here _________. lol

    If that magnet was strong enough, it may have damaged your hard drive. You'll have to bring it in and see if you can get it repaired/replaced.

  • Upgraded to IOS5, now music doesnt work right, displayed song not playing, plays 3,4 songs then stops although is appears to be playing. Help

    upgraded to IOS5, now music not working right. displayed song not playing, plays 4,5 songs and stops although it appears that it is playing. Cycled pwr,didn't work. tried resyncing, same thing.Help?

    I have an iPhone 4 and ever since I upgraded to iOS5 i've got the same problem. Apple need to release a patch as there's no way of fixing this unless we downgrade our phones back to iOS4 which would just suck!
    I often shut the music app down and start again but even then the artwork doesn't match the song playing and will only play a few songs. It's frustrating when you're driving or going for a run, having to pull over or stop and sort it out.
    We'll have to wait for Apple to bring out a patch unfortunately.

  • I have a pc and now itunes doesnt work. I have removed and tried deleting itunes and reinstalling and doesnt work

    I have a Pc and been running Itunes off of it for years. Now it doesn't work. It doesn't run stating it is missing something. I have deleted the itunes and reinstalled and have run the repair as well and it doesnt work. I am not pleased. I need help!

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • DV2840se heated up now it doesnt work

    I have purchased " rented from HP 1.5 years $900.00" an HP Dv2840 se. The laptop normally heats up, but it got really hot and now it doesnt display anything on the screen. The Led lights come on, i can hear the DVD, hard drive and fan running but thats it.
    I called HP 3 times and the only response I got was "So sorry, pay $400.00 or buy a new laptop."
    My understanding is that the NVidia GPU is the fault and not a NORMAL wear and tear problem. 
    Anybody know if its the motherboard that is hosed or just a loose GPU from the heat.
     HP wont help unless I want to rent it from them for another year for $400.00
    No Im not one of those people that go around posting bad things about companies. There is a serious problem with is Laptop beyond just normal use. 

    I guess you could call it loose GPU..
