Windows 10 SB0460 audio problems

[iCounterMyself]

I recently upgraded Windows 7 to Windows 10 & now I am experiencing audio issues. I am able to hear my voice through speakers from my mic. I tried reinstalling the drivers to my sound card but a Windows 10 edition & unfortunately it didn't help. Any advice or suggestions is more than welcomed & thanks in advance.


SOUND CARD: Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic 7.1-CH PCI SB0460 Audio/Sound Card

SPEAKERS: Logitech LS21 7 Watts RMS (FTC) 2.1 Stereo Speaker System - Black

MIC: ZALMAN ZM – Mic1 Black 3.5mm Connector High Sensitivity Headphone Mic

I happen to solve my own issue after experimenting & will post how to do so for future reference for others.

Right click on the speaker icon at the bottom right & select "Playback devices." From there, find your speakers & double left-click. After that, select the "Levels" tab to make sure these items are MUTED: "Digital In," "MIDI Synth," "Line-In," "Auxiliary," & scroll down for "Microphone." It solved my problem.
