Im using an audigy Soundcard.. For some reason right now if I load up SecondLife, all audio on my system ceases. Music and sound in SL produce no audio, winamp or other applications produce no audio..

I go into the creative volume controls and even with all the mute boxes unchecked and the volume up to max I hear nothing. I go into the creative sound mixer and basicaly its wiped clean of settings. If I turn off SL and load up the sound mixer then they all come back. If I export a sound setting and then start up SL and try to import it, I get an unknown error.


[Edit]
Alright, I fixed it. Because this was so annoying I'll leave this for others to read later. Basicaly SL and Creatives Sound Mixer dont play nice together. I had to shut off SL, go into the mixer and set it to "no effect" And then I got my sound back when I started SL. Obviously not a great amount of effort but still I think LL should probably take a look at this. SL shouldnt be like.. killing features of my sound card I dont think.

You could also try and update your sound card drivers, as that fixed a similar prob ALL SL in game sounds and including streams in SL sounding like they were "frying". So you might want to try that. :)
