Refresh the PC.
If that does not work then remove driver. Then remove the sound card (after shutting down pc).
Then reinsert it & install the driver.

not sure how removing the card will do anything as it was working just fine on a different OS, but I'll try it anyway.

also, is 'refreshing' the PC different than restarting it?

Was I supposed to have the drivers installed before Refreshing the PC? I refreshed the PC, and it still doesn't work.

Also, I tried putting my sound card in a different PCIE port and no luck.

I don't know if Creative's beta drivers would be helpful. They're available from www.creative.com. (I tried pasting a link, but it didn't work.)

I suspected that my X-Fi was causing trouble under Win8 RP, so I've been with the Realtek onboard sound ever since. Sound isn't as good, but problems have been nonexistent.
