I have just updated to 1903, and have lost all sound. I have a Creative Audigy2 ZS Pro, yes, I know it's old, but it was working perfectly on build 1809.

After this 1903 update, no sound, so I went back to 1809, and hey presto, I got my sound back. I then tried the very latest 1903 build, but lost the sound again. Have MS got an answer? I will have to go back to 1809 if I want to hear anything, but can wait a day or so if anyone at MS can give me a solution.

    I have found a solution.

    Just download the offical Audigy RX driver from Creative website.

    https://support.creative.com/Products/ProductDetails.aspx?catID=561&catName=Sound%20Cards&subCatID=1123&prodID=21723&prodName=Sound%20Blaster%20Audigy%20Rx&_ga=2.220384088.1563738097.1557985768-1807327002.1557156356#

    Extract it with Winrar or other tool. Manually install the driver from the folder Audio -> DriversWin10 -> wdm -> browse wdm_emu.inf file.

    If installed succesfully, then  just restart the PC.

    Step 2.

    Download the Audigy Support Pack from https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4veZnyFbxW4VjdhUVMzOG1yVFE/view, or from the website: http://danielkawakami.blogspot.com/2017/01/sb-audigy-series-support-pack-62.html

    Extract it. Then run Setup. Choose Custom install. Uncheck the Driver. Install all other App. Restart PC, and Audigy 2 ZS is working.

    All apps working. Speaker Settings, EAX Console, Audio Console

    Same for Creative X-Fi Extreme Music cards... tried fresh install nothing... speakers sorta 'click' as if being pinged during boot but the card function is dead... windows seems to see a X-Fi product but is confused...

    Go here for PCI X-Fi beta drivers

    https://www.reddit.com/r/SoundBlasterOfficial/comments/bs4lh2/xfi_20k1_drivers_for_windows_1903_beta/

    For some PCI Express X-Fi Titanium Creative has released drivers

    else go here

    Excellent work!!

    It works with my Audigy4 as well but as I did not have the option for a custom install what I did is to first install the Audigy 6.2 support pack, reboot then in the device manager I deleted the driver (check delete driver files), reboot and then I installed the extracted large RX driver by right-clicking in the wdma_emu.inf in the DriverWin10 file and saying install

    Now I am stuffed - just tried to go back to the earlier build, but told it cannot be done! I am stuck with no sound. Microsoft strikes again, maybe I will have better lick with Linux?

    I only updated yesterday, and the windows.old folder is still there 37.1GB in size.

    I have just one restore point since update, I will try that and then try going back to the earlier build, failing all else, my system will get a thorough clear out and a fresh install! No sleep this weekend.
