Sound Blaster ZX works with no drivers, doesn't work with drivers installed...

Greetings one and all,
I've just built a Windows 8.1 Enterprise system on an Asus Z9PA-D8 with dual processors installed. When any of the sound blaster drivers (CD or downloaded) are installed the card stops working. Uninstall everything, and it works again.
I hope this is some simple configuration issue.
Anybody got any suggestions?

Okay, it was a configuration issue. I ran diagnostics and configured to output to speakers.

  • LAN with TCP/IP doesn't work

    Hello,
      I have a problem with my laptop IdeaPad S10e 4187-5PG: LAN with TCP/IP doesn't work, after I have updated all the drivers to the latest ones form the Lenovo site (except BIOS update). I tried to check if LAN worksby sending a ping to the IP address and that is OK, but when Isend a ping to the default gateway it failes. A ping to the DNS server also fails.Could you please help me because I tried everythinh and I can't getthe LAN to work.
    Thank you very much

    Perhaps you could describe you network in a little more detail.
    Is this a Workgroup home network or are you connected to a Domain server?
    If this is a workgroup are you connecting to the internet via a cable or DSL router?
    Do other computers on your network connect OK?
    Has your S10e ever worked properly on the network?
    Are you connecting via a wireless access point or LAN cable? 
    What do you Ping on and from where?
    Can you Ping OK on another networked computer?
    Open up a DOS Prompt (aka command prompt, DOS Box). and type IPCONFIG  /ALL <enter>. Do you get a compatible IP address and subnet mask? You should also get the gateway IP address.

    Hello lila54,
    It sounds like your Wi-Fi network is working if your desktop works with it, we just need to get the Wi-Fi on your iPhone and iPad connected to it.  I found a couple of resources to help with not being able to connect to Wi-Fi on an iOS device.
    I recommend following the steps in this tutorial first (the steps should work on the iPhone and iPad):
    Join a network

    If you are still having trouble connecting to Wi-Fi, follow the steps in this article (you can skip any steps you have already taken):

    Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.

  • I bought an external hard drive for backups to use with Time Machine, but however when I try to connect it with the other windows laptop it doesn't work ? intact it doesn't work on any other device except my MAC ?

    I bought an external hard drive for backups to use with Time Machine, but however when I try to connect it with the other windows laptop it doesn't work ? intact it doesn't work on any other device except my MAC ?

    Do not worry about it.
    Time Machine needs that your external drive is formatted in HFS+, or better known as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". This filesystem is used by Apple on Macs and Windows cannot read or write drives formatted with this filesystem, being this the reason why all your devices do not read the external drive except your Mac.
    You can only use your external drive to make Time Machine drives. If you store anything different, you may damage the Time Machine structure, so it is better not to use it as a drive to store other data. Instead, get another external drive to do it or create a second partition on the external drive formatted in FAT32 by using Disk Utility > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU3.html FAT32 can be read by Windows PCs

  • ITunes 10.4 full screen with Win7-64bit doesn't work correctly.

    iTunes 10.4 full screen with Win7-64 doesn't work correctly. I have the Windows taskbar on the left side of my screen. Maximized iTunes is panned to the left.

    Same issue here. When the Windows taskbar is position on the top of the screen and then the iTunes windows is maximised, it's position is as if the Windows taskbar is at the bottom of the screen so the top of the iTunes window sits under the taskbar.
    For those wanting a workaround, hold shift and right click the iTunes icon in the taskbar/quick launch bar and click restore, at least then you can adjust it to be full screen manually.

  • Sound Blaster X-FI Pci Express Front Panel Not working right Win7

    ASound Blaster X-FI Pci Express Front Panel Not working right Win7
    Please read carefully
    Part number Part SB040
    Hello,
    I have a fresh install of Win7x64 OEM. First, I want to say that I have "AUTOMATICALLY MUTE SPEAKERS" UNCHECKED under the Headphone detection tab. I have tried "Automatically Enable Headphone Settings" checked or unchecked. No difference.
    As soon as I plug in headphones to the front panel connector , the speakers in the mixer say "disconnected" (see below) and the SPDIF becomes the default output. There is no way for me to change this. And there isn't any sound coming from the headphones when plugged into the front panel. (the mic front panel works fine)
    I am using the nati've Win7 drivers for the card. Apparently the Win 7 drivers on your site are older than the nati've ones.
    This worked fine in Windows XP 32. Any ideas.

    Ok guys this is how I fixed the problem on my X-Fi PCI-Express. Open the Creative SB X-Fi Volume panel. Mine is set in game mode and I have 5 vertical sliders for Line-In /Mic, MIDI Synth, Digital-In, and the last one will say one of three things either Digital-In, Microphone, or Mirophone FP. At the top of the?slider there is a tab which brings up a drop down menu. Mine was default set to Digital-In, I switched it to Mirophone FP (tried Microphone first and it worked but the FP sounds better for me) and cranked it all the way up and my problem was solved. Very frustrating one though as there is no documentation that led me to the fix it was just playing around with it till I could figure it out.
    I hope this at least helps some of you out.

  • Sound Blaster Live CT4620 and Windows XP can it work and h

    Hello, I have an old Sound Blaster Li've Model CT4620 that I installed on my old PC (windows 95) and loved quite a while back, I have since upgraded my Pc to a newer model that has Windows XP Pro and was hoping to install my old much loved Sound Blaster Li've card but when I went to install the drivers from my origanal discs windows put up a warning that this version of driver was not compatable with my system. I have looked around the site and am lost. Is there any hope for me and my older Sound blaster li've card? If so what do I need to do, download, install to run it's I am not very PC smart so please take it slow for me Thank you!

  • HT1688 The friend brought to me from the USA iphone 4. I can't use it at all. It with our operators doesn't work. I very much ask you help me to solve a problem.

    The friend brought to me a gift from the USA, and it doesn't work year. Our operators don't understand it. Help me to unblock iphone4
    <Edited by Host>

    This has nothing to do with iPhones in the Enterprise.
    Sounds like your friend is a bit dumb and bought a carrier locked iPhone.  The only way to address this is to contact the carrier to whom the device is locked and find out their unlock policy.
    Oh, and stop being dumb yourself, posting IMEI, serial numbers, and email addresses on a public forum is just plain stupid.

  • Craetive Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Notebook will not work in just any Lapt

    The following is an email I just sent to Creative support ear Sirs or Madam:
    I have been a Creative user ever since I've been using computers.
    Recently I visited your website in search of a better sound card for my laptop as I work in Iraq and I'm home on R&R. In Iraq all we have to do on our off time is listen and share music files. On your website I found a Creative sound blaster X-Fi sound card which fit my needs perfectly. I called Creatives support number and the lady that answered informed me that they did not have any in stock at the Creative center,,,,she refered me to the Dell website for purchase. I indeed ordered the th blaster X-Fi. When the sound card arri'ved I was very excited. I plugged in the card and nothing ! I went over the instructions several times before calling the Creative tech line. I was informed after 20 minutes with the tech person that it would not work in my laptop. the tech person told me it will only work in newer lapto
    ps.
    My laptop is a one year old toshiba satellite A05-S7 which I bought at the military PX in Iraq april 06. No where on your website did it say that it wouldn't work in my particular laptop. because of shipping charges and restocking fees I am forced to keep this card which will not work of course until I buy a new Laptop. I was informed buy your Tech support person that I needed an Audigy 2 zs notebook card for my laptop,,,well Creative of course didn't stock or have that card so I have searched High and low on the internet for this card with no avail. Today ( 6 nov 07 ) I am forced to order a **competitor** sound card which will fit my laptop. I am very upset and disillusioned with Creative at this point. I am sure my email will most likely go un-noticed as does most emails or letters to manufacturer's complaining about there products or service. It looks like when I return to Iraq I will have to promote the **competitor product** sound card as the card to use. I am very sorry this has happened and I hope you ad to your website the laptops this X-Fi card will work and not work in.

    First, please refrain from mentioning/discussing competitor products on this forum, as it is against the rules.
    Next, you are correct that the X-fi Xtreme Notebook will not work in any notebook. As it states in the System Requirements, it requires a ExpressCard slot to function. The Audigy notebook card requires an older PCMCIA slot, which is what your laptop has. I'm sorry the Xfi card didn't suit your needs, but you will have to have the newer, faster slot in order to use it as it states in the requirements.
