The card is not broken it is just a software problem so it's a shame to buy a new card because of just windows10. This is a great card btw with 0 latency on game mode, good for recording purposes. No luck getting get back on sometimes after a reboot or shutdown the card becomes active again but this time I was rebooting like 10x times and still no sound. But suddenly when booting PC starts up slowly (weird bootup) and I have the same question mark again in device manager. I had a lot of problems when I upgraded to windows 10 with XtremeMusic, never before! The crazy thing is, sometimes the card is automatically recognized again and it works for a few days sometimes weeks. Microsoft once again creating more problems!! I also had to disable the net so Windows wouldn't re-install the same drivers.

Windows 10 downloaded Nvidia drivers for me and installed them without my permission! When I restarted my PC I booted into a black screen and could only get back into windows by uninstalling the "sh!t" drivers through safe mode.

They had enough time to create drivers for Windows 10 and once again they are late!ĮDIT: Also, if you plan to do a re-installation of windows 10, install your video card drivers before connecting to the internet. I know it's the last thing you probably want to do, but it worked for me. Install the daniel_k package first thing and see if that resolves your problem. If none of this works, do what I did and perform a complete reinstallation of windows 10 with the net unplugged.

If the sound works, set your desired settings in the creative audio control panel and shut down (restart won't work) your computer so that they're saved. Unplug from the internet, turn off 3rd party firewall and antivirus and reinstall the daniel_k package again. One thing I would recommend is completely uninstalling all creative software and drivers. Also I should say that when I initially upgraded to windows 10 and installed daniel_k's drivers I too had problems, similar to yours, with losing sound and settings not saving. If I want my sound settings to be saved, I still have to shut down my computer completely but at least my sound works.

This time I unplugged the internet, so windows couldn't update anything, and I installed the daniel_k drivers first thing. I finally said **** it and reinstalled Windows 10 again. I tried different drivers and messed around with it for about 2 hours uninstalling and reinstalling. Mistake! When I installed the Daniel_K sound drivers, I had no sound and the creative audio control panel said I had no supported hardware. I then did a clean installation of Windows 10 (because I'd been planning to so) and installed firewall and antivirus right away before actually installing sound drivers. When I upgraded to windows 10 and installed Daniel_K's drivers, everything worked fine. I had problems myself with my x-fi xtrememusic and Windows 10.
