HP computer Windows 11, Finale v26.  Sound Blaster X3.  I just installed the Sound Blaster X3.  If I go to you tube and play music everything works fine.  When I try to play music through Finale - no sound.  If I test the speakers in the control panel they work fine.  I've checked the internet to see if there were any answers but no luck.  It's probably some simple thing that I haven't done yet.  However, at this point I don't know what that might be.  I have the Logitech speaker system that has always worked fine.  I thought that I might improve the sound some with the Sound Blaster - or not.  Does anyone have any idea of what needs to be done that I haven't done.  Thanks.

Windows audio driver conflicts are not uncommon. It could be something as simple as a path problem caused by the newer installer. The first thing I would try is to reinstall Finale and see what happens.

I doubt it is a path issue but it could be a driver conflict. Did you disable your old sound driver after you installed the SB X3? Finale doesn't like to share stuff.

A reinstallation of Finale might fix it and it is worth a try since it pretty easy to do.

Thanks for your help -

I will try to do what has been suggested and reload Finale.  I had spent so much time trying to get Sound Blaster to working that I got behind on some of the music I had to work on.  I will have to try the reloading at a later time.

I got my Logitek speakers to working with surround sound with just the setup in the computer.  I will be using this at the time until I catch up with the music and then I will spend some time and try reloading Finale to see if I can get Sound Blaster to work.  Sound Blaster x3 might not be any better than just surround sound.

Thanks again for all your help.
