Sorry if this is the wrong category to file this in, but it is my first time posting and the issue seems closely related to the motherboard!
I have recently decided to convert from an aging Z800 workstation to a Supermicro server system with newer components. While transferring components, I discovered that the Soundblaster Z sound card, which has always worked perfectly in the Z800 (and still does), is not recognized by the X9DRI-LN4F+under Windows 7 or Windows 10.
I place the Soundblaster card into the system, and its LEDs turn on as they should (showing it is powered), but the card is never recognized in the device manager. I have tried multiple slots as a troubleshooting step, and I can confirm all of the PCIe slots are functional (a USB 3.0 add-in card works in any slot).
This wouldn't be much of an issue, but the motherboard has no on-board audio.
Has anyone had a similar issue with the board recognizing cards? Does anyone have good experiences with a different sound card in this system?
Thanks for the help!
