Win XP Sound card drivers off leopard CD

Why are the WinXP drivers for my audio card (MBP) so much more advanced than the OS X version? I have boot camp with a Win XP installation with Leopard on the mac side.
I would like take part of some of those features while in Mac Mode.
Any thoughts?

Thanks for the reply.
Perhaps I should have written my question a little differently. I am well aware that XP drivers do not work with OS X. That is obvious. My question was basically about the control panel for the sound card that XP uses. I liked the effects that it used. I figured that if OS X was so much more advanced they would have something SIMILAR to be able to add more functionality to the card.
I suppose there is something I could download. Just noting at this time. I could care less.

Updated Audigy 2 Sound Card Drivers.... now speakers don't mu

I have a Sound Blaster Audigy 2. I updated the drivers for the first time in 3 years yesterday. I'm now using the Driver set: 5.2.4.96.
However, the bad news is that when I plug in my headphones to the USB port, the sounds still comes over the speakers and not over the headphones. The microphone works and I can hear my friends on ventrilo. But games sounds come through the speakers. I checked my settings in the Audio HQ and 'mute speakers when using headphones' is checked. Also, in order for my headset to work at all with ventrilo, I had to default sound device to my headphones and not to the sound card.
Prior to the new drivers, everything worked perfectly. After the drivers install, I'm having problems. Any thoughts as to what is going on?
Thanks.Message Edited by boojiboy on 04-6-200703:43 PM

Last try... bump #3. One additional piece of info, after working on and off on this for over a week, I'm suspicious that the previous driver set didn't not complete uninstall and thus, I have some sort of of driver conflict. I've followed the FAQs to the letter on uninstall and reinstall procedures. No luck.

Any plan of releasing REAL WORKING sound card drivers for windows 8.1 one day???

Hello,
As you probably saw, I am one of the countless people having an issue with my sound blaster card with windows 8.1, and desperately waiting a new proper driver until months now... in vain, and with no answer from anyone from the creative support team, who are just ignoring it...
I say countless, because I can see over Internet a huge amount of people having those issues, and this forum doesn't represent it, because it is a pain to get the account activated to post anything.
Here is my question : can I throw away my relatively new high end sound card like a piece of useless crap now and buy a real piece of hardware, or are you planning to give us a chance of not wasting our money soon??
Just for your information, Realtek has released their working windows 8.1 drivers since 5 months now.
I know that Creative is in a position of strength in this market, because there is almost no other viable options, but does it means you have to abuse it?
Sorry if my message seems a bit hungry, right now I really feel like a disappointed customer who was trusting this company to buy a really great piece of hardware, but sadly can't get it working anymore, and being ignored.
I believe that being ignored is the least respectful answer of all.

Well, that is exactly what I was saying... still no answer from anybody.
Seriously Creative, when you want to make a product become obsolete by releasing a new version of your products (SBX), you should at least have the honesty to say that the old products are not supported anymore in windows 8.1...
I have installed windows 8.1, with no possibilities to revert back to windows 7, knowing from your website that my card is compatible (see here), and now my sound card is just an expensive useless piece of electronic taking dust on my desk... which i bought less than one year ago.
From your silence, should I guess that there will be no update or support anymore for this card in windows 8.1? In that case, is their any way I can send it back to creative technical support to exchange for a working model? Or at least a discount for the new model??

Pavilion 752n sound card drivers.

I have tried just about ever driver I could find but I can not find a driver for the Soundmax Sound Card that was listed on the machine before I had to replace the hard drive.
Additionally I am unable to load the drivers for the audio controls on the keyboard but that maybe connected to the lack of a sound card.
Help!!!

I went to reatek's website (http://218.210.127.131/downloads/) and downloaded the AC'97. Once I installed the drivers the system crashed but after the crash I went into device manager, found the SoundMAX driver and did a update driver, when I ran the update I allowed it to search the Internet and it found a SoundMAX driver 5.12.1.3620 signed by Microsoft Windows Hardware Compatibility Publisher.
Also you need Microsoft's .NET 2.0 to install the keyboard drivers you mention.

Sound Card Drivers for Vi

Greetings everyone! i had bought vista ultimate a few days back and also creative 5. speaker system. to my surprise creative had stopped support for sound blaster 5. for vista, so the only option was exercised. i bought an audigy value 7. card and installed it. after downloading the vista driver from creative support site, i was again surprised to find that the audigy driver was full of bugs, the biggest being it would give me option of only 2. audio output. i was wondering when creative would be developing full drivers for sound cardsand not the beta versions so that we may once again enjoymusic and other audio outputas it ismeant to be any help in the matter would be highly appreciated! any other option to correct sound card issues are also most welcome! also does microft have any plan whatsoever to develop drivers to support 5. and higher audio output please do note that in India the top end models of sound cards from creative are not available even with creative distributors, so any other way to get around the problem is sought. thanks in advance! regards and warm wishes!

Sound card drivers??????

I have a creative labs sound blaster legacy sound card by the model number of 800570 that i cannot find the driver for anywhere, i lost the cd and have searched all over and its nowhere to be found can anyone help me pls?

Hi,
The model number should start with SB followed by the first four digits of the serial number. If you have a SB0570, it's an Audigy SE card.
Go to the Support section of the website and select your product. Scroll down the page and click on "If your product is not listed above, please click here." Select Audigy SE in the list of sound cards, this should bring you to the download section.

Areca RAID card drivers for Leopard?

I cannot seem to find Leopard drivers for my Areca 1220ML RAID card. Areca support page has no new drivers since Tiger and though they list their product as supported under Leopard, there exists no drivers that I can find. Apple makes no mention of them on the driver support/download section either
help!

I have an Areca 1220 (not ML) that I put into a 10.5.4 Macbook Pro system (via external PCIE) and it worked without having to do anything. The drivers were already present. I have since swapped out the 1220 SATA for a 1680 SAS and it, too, worked without needing any drivers. I guess the press release from Areca was true!
http://www.areca.com.tw/news/2007/n1106.htm
However, I did find a link to OS X drivers on the Areca site, which hopefully brings some assurance:

I cannot find the sound card drivers for Model SB0410 (SB Live! 24 bit) sound card that came with a Dell Dimension 8400... the update is on the Dell website and the Creative Labs web site- but not the original drivers.

An error message after I install my sound card

I have one of MSI product. K7N2G-L (MS6570) mainboard for AMD processors. It's bios version is 3.5 (I have flashed it because of the CPU temprature measurement problem, now it show 20 C lower temprature of CPU than it was. Is this normal?).
My operating system is Windows 98 SE. After I install window I install my sound card. My sound card's model is Creative Sound Blaster Live Value. But after I install Nvidia nforce system drivers and my sound card drivers, whenever I reboot my computer I see an error message. The message is:
" EMM386 not installed - unable to set frame page address "
and after this message there says: press any key to continue.
In fact, after a while Windows 98 starts, even I don't press a key. Why I see this message and how can I prevent to see this message. What is wrong? What should I do?
If you can help me about this problem I will be so glad.

Hi..
I am not sure but this might be one of those DOS drivers that load off the autoexec.bat.. (COs win98 does not use emm386 for extended memory managenent)..
Try this... Go to the MS-DOS command prompt, type
C:
CD
NOTEPAD autoexec.bat
And search for a entry that is referting to a file in the Live installation directory and add the words REM infront of it...
Ex.
C:LiveLoad.exe
make it
REM C:Liveload.exe
Chances are u will not be needing this file to get audio in the system...
Good Luck
Rasika
[EDIT]
Try putting rem infront of entry in the audoexec.bat.. u sould be able to catch it easyly

New sound card Creative Live! 5.1 Digital

Hi,
I disabled the ALC 97 in the BIOS but ddin't uninstall any of the drives. Possibly a bad idea. I shut down and plugged in the new card and booted. When prompted to install the card I told it to look for the drivers on the install CD and it found them.
This card should do EAX but in Grand Prix 4 and Half Life 2 there is no option to turn EAX either on or off. GP4 has the option but it's greyed out, 2D acceleration is available and that works.
I then uninstalled the Realtek sound drivers and the nvmixer thing from add/remove programs, rebooted, then installed the sound card drivers from the CD properly, including all the extra programs.
This hasn't made any difference to the lack of EAX options although in one of the installed programs it does prove that EAX is working but I can't find anything that tells me whether these games are using EAX.
Also, performance in these games has improved DRAMATICALLY. I have recently installed some more RAM but I was under the impression that would only improve loadng times etc and there was only a marginal performance after the new RAM when using 3d mark 05. (Presumably) since installing this new card, I can now max out all the settings in HL2 except for 2xAA and 8xAF and it absolutely flies.
Is all of this supposed to happen? If not, I was going to unplug the card and manually uninstall every sound driver from both add/remove prgorams and device manager and then reinstall the card. Sound good?
Thanks for any advice.
cheers

LazyGit,
Make sure you use the latest Creative Drivers from the Creative Website.
Take Care,

Sound Card

I have tried 2 different sound cards in 2 different PCI slots, and my computer never finds them. When i try to install the drivers (sound blaster) they say the device cannot be found on my computer. Also, as i mentioned in another post, WindowsXp doesnt seem my other LAN controller (the bottom one) Could like plug and play be off or something? Why wouldnt any of this stuff load up? Any ideas?
But i do have a "PCI Device" in other devices in the device manager, says its on PCI Slot 8. That means nothing to me i have no idea what this could be, cause its not letting me load the sound card drivers.

Did you disable to onboard sound
like rc23 said

tizzle specs please
like supershanks said
you will get more help and more accurate help then
but try removing card setting onboard sound on in bios first.
if all runs ok set on board sound to off. in bios.
reboot....
switch off.
insert card.
reboot . if not recognised by windows install manually under device manager.
if windows recognises install drivers from orig disc before updating you can then always roll back to original if an driver update fails.
you could check your soundcard in a friends machine first !
try another sound card !
just some ideas

A problem with ALL creative sound cards i am hav

All creative sound cards that i've used, three i think in the past year. SB Li've, SB Audigy 2 ZS, and the Audigy 2 Zs Platinum Pro. Every time i connect speakers or headphones to the jack, i get really REALLY low sound output, also before windows loads or shuts down i hear a "bump" coming from my speakers/headphones.... I have no idea whats going on....
Specs are:
p4. 3.0
DFI Lanparty 875 rev. B
gig corsair pc4000 dual channel
2x raptor raid 0
SB Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro
ATI Radeon x800pro
Headphones i use are bose acoustic 2 headphones
Speakers are logitech x-530
If anyone has had this happen to them before or if anyone has any possible remedies for this I would really appreciate, if this doesnt help im done with creative sound cards =/
[edit]: forgot to mention this is only for the audio jacks on the sound card itself, on the ZS platinum pro, when i connect to the jack on the hub, the sound is alrightMessage Edited by mrkuku on 06-2-2005 06:36 AM

figured out my problem, my built in sound card drivers were conflicting with the creative drivers. Thought that if i turned off the built in sound card from bios that i wouldn't need to delete the drivers also. Thanks for any that read this and tried to figure it out. Now its working like a charm.
