    Hi kidmike, welcome to TSG....

    Can you post a listing of your IRQs for us?

    Start button, run, then type msinfo32 and hit ok.....go to hardware, IRQs, edit, select all, edit, copy and come back and paste......

    Let's try this for a test.

    Go into the control panel, system, device manager, and on the USB controller on IRQ 3, place a check mark in the box that says 'disable in this hardware profile' then restart the computer. Test your sound again.

    It'll be best to reply back to the same thread so everyone will know what's been tried, so I've merged your last response into this thread.

    So what happens now when you try to play sounds? Error messages?

    What happens when you try to play a wav file from sound recorder?

    when i try and use a wav file from creative play center it says this device may be used by another application or is unavailable. and when i try and turn up the volume on my keyboard i get a message saying your computer may not have a sound card or the sound card may not be installed properly..This was happening before i install sound blaster card and drivers. Is it possible i have a file missing needed for my sound???

    I am assuming that you rebooted after disabling the usb device, correct?

    If so, remove the soundblaster from the device manager, reboot and allow windows to find it again.
