Having a horrible time getting AE-7 to work.

The sound blaster command does not even find the AE-7. I have checked the BIOs and it is installed, and detected, so I don't know what the issue is. I have tried several things to fix it:

  1. Make sure drivers are updated.

  2. Restarting PC.

  3. Checked speakers to make sure they are plugged into the proper ports.

  4. Checked the Device Manager, it is showing no issues.

  5. Soundblaster command says "your audio device cannot be detected"

Im at a loss, has anyone had this issue?
