    Z blaster stopped working


    This was fine the other day but suddenly stopped working. I uninstalled the device and restarted the computer and it made no difference. It says I have an MME error and nothing works but audio all around looks like it is up. I also cannot get audio from outside websites. Is there a virus or maybe the card just crapped out?

    :)

    Sound Blaster Z does not work after lastest windows Update

    Hi Robert,

    I appreciate the troubleshooting steps you have tried to resolve the issue.

    Please answer these questions to assist you better.

    • Do you get any error message?
    • Which is the latest build installed in your computer?
    • What troubleshooting steps are you referring to?
    • What is the make and model of your computer?
    • Are you able to hear sound from internal Speakers?

    I suggest you toRun the Hardware and Devices Troubleshooter
    and check the status.

    Windows 10 has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with hardware and devices. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if the issue is with the Bluetooth adapter. Refer these steps:


    • Press Windows key + X, select
      Control panel.

    • Change the view by option on the top right to
      Large icons.

    • Click on troubleshooting and click on the
      view all option on the left panel.

    • Run the Hardware and devices troubleshooter.

    • Restart your computer and check if the issue is resolved.

    Do let us know if Sound Blaster Z works as it should. Thank you.

    Z blaster stopped working

    Sound Blaster Z does not work after lastest windows Update

    After the lastest Major windows update to windows 10 My Sound Blaster Z no longer works. I have tired uninstalling the driver and reinstalling it. I have ran the troubleshooting program. Nothing works. I have the latest drivers from the Sound blaster
    website. None of the fixes listed on this site work for this issue and If I choose the Nvidia sound, the NVidia sound works. I have tried disabling that to see if there is a conflict and still no sound. What did Microsoft change in the last update the
    messed up sounds cards and how do I fix it.
