I'm trying to get my creative frontpantl for my audigy2 platinum to give some sound.
but nothing happens when i plug in my headphones

The front panlet optiosn in ctpanel.exe are greyed out.
and in audioHQ the entire panel of the live drive are gone.

i check the kable are sitting correct on the live drive.
i tried the newst and the next newest drivers from creative

i DONT have the original CD's

Have you tried the built-in Windows sound controls?

Off-Topic:
The Creative software for the Audigy2 is buggy when installing all options, it did nothing but crash all the time on my XP Pro system, and doesn't uninstall/install/re-install correctly. The only solution I had was to only install the drivers which of course only allows the usage of two front speakers and the sub-woofer.

How should i do that ?

I don't know if this will help or not, anyway in WinXP:
(1) Control Panel -> Sounds, Speech, and Audio Devices -> Sound and Audio Devices
(2) Device Volume -> Advanced tab, see what's inside.
(3) Speaker Settings -> Advanced tab -> Speaker Setup, make a selection.

I don't know if that is a problem or not, however I've been noticing a trend lately where updates will not install without the original CD's -- take MS Office as a prime example.

nothing indside here to work with.

anyway im going to reinstall XP anyway when sp2 comes
it might fix some issue
