Hi John,
I have 31 years experience with fixing computers.
This is one of my favorite tricks for fixing device problems.
The way it works is that sometimes files get corrupt, and by deleting
the device and rebooting, the computer reactivates the device and
installs fresh software and drivers.
Good luck, Manny checkout my stand-up comedy performance

I don't understand why this would fix the soundblaster problem since
I'm deleting soundblaster.

Hi John,
If you have not deleted sound blaster from your computer, I would try
that first.
I would go to
device manager
tab once
press s
until you hear sound
arrow right once then
arrow down to
sound blaster
and press delete
then press OK or yes to continue
then reboot your computer
If it still does not work email me off list and I'll give it another
shot.

I have a Windows-7 professional computer with the latest versions
of Windoweyes and Kurzweil-1000. Here's the problem:
I'm using a Creative Labs Soundblaster Z sound card. Everything
was working fine until my Soundblaster started crackling -- all
sounds, not just speech. The crackling would go away for a while
when I did a restart, then come back again.
My computer tech guru switched my sounds (including speech) from
the Soundblaster to the on-board sound (the chip on the
motherboard) and things were fine; no crackling..
He found out that Creative Labs had issued a driver on March 1^st
for the Soundblaster-Z card which fixes the crackling problem.
Unfortunately, when he downloaded and installed the driver, all
speech -- both for Windoweyes and K1000 -- went away. All other
windows sounds are working fine. Just no speech; no synthesizers
work.
We rolled back the drivers to the previous version and restarted;
still no speech.
We've gone back to the onboard sound -- everything works fine.
Has anybody got any suggestions re what's causing this problem and
how to fix it?
Thanks.
