After updating to Windows 10, I began to have issues with my sound. I had a Razer Barracuda AC-1 sound card installed. Yes it is quite a few years old, but it worked wonderfully for years and years. After updating, the audio was off. My speakers had switched and without drivers coming out for the sound card, I switched on on board. I had the same issues so I bought a Creative Sound Blaster Z. I still have the same issues I did originally. The speakers are swapped and not working properly. I have gone through the forums here and on other sites looking for the solution and I have come up empty handed. I'd really appreciate any help or guidance you might have.

Cheers.

OS: Windows 10
Speakers: Logitech G51 (5.1 Surround Sound)
Sound Card: Creative Sound Blaster Z
Mobo: L337GANK MACHINE Z87H3-A2X EXTREME


Update:
I switched the outputs on the sound card and it works much better, but they are not in the correct spots so I'm still very much confused.
 
Windows 10 have given me alot of problems also, and one of them was constantly shutting my sound card down. The major problem was it shutting my computer down randomly. Try going into device manager and see if any drivers need updating. also check to see if your bios has an update.
