1st Gen Audigy Driv

I have had this problem ever since I bought my Audigy Card, the self install cannot detect the hardware. Windows detects it as an "unknown device" under sound, and having windows check the driver CD gets it up and running. However I cannot find my driver CD, and the install file I download from the site can't detect the hardware (why windows can find it, and the company that MAKES the hardware cant produce an install file that will detect it is beyond me). What I need is the driver files, not some super auto install kit, just the drivers. Ill do it all manually, I just need to know where I can get my hands on the files. Any help would be appreciated.

DavidDudley,
What is the model number of the sound card? It should be something like CT**** or SB****.
What is your OS? If you are using Windows XP/2000, you can download the EAX 4 driver.
http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/
Scroll down to the "Search by Product" section, select "Sound Blaster", "Audigy", "Audigy Gamer" and set "File Type" to "Driver".
You will find the following files:
-AUD_EAX4DRV_0303.exe
-AUD_WEBUP_PCWDRV_-84-40.exe
Install them in above order. To configure your Audigy Gamer, run ctpanel.exe. Just do a search for this file.

  • Can I use my 1st gen ipod touch as hard drive

    I have a 32 gb 1st gen ipod touch and I want to use some of it to store items/files that have nothing to do with itunes. How can I get this ipod as hd/itune device?

    There is no hard drive in an iPod Touch. But you can check out How to use iPhone/iPod Touch as Flash Drive on Mac.

  • I have a 1st Gen Time Capsule 1tb. It turns on, boots up and turns green for 5-10 mins, but then turns solid orange and then blinks orange.  I have removed the hard drive and replaced the power supply . . . still the same problem.  Suggestions?

    I purchased a used 1st Gen Time Capsule with a 1 tb hard drive.
    When I plugged it in and did the initial setup, it worked fine, but gave me a hard drive error.  A few minutes later the green light turned solid orange, then blinking orange, then the status light went off.  The lights in back stayed on. 
    I removed the hard drive and rebooted, it turned green for 5-10 minutes then reverted back to a solid orange, blinking orange, then went off.
    Next I purchased a remanufactured internal power supply, and installed it (without the hard drive in).  It turned green almost immediately.  After about 15-20 minutes, I decided to try to install the hard drive again, booted it up, and tried to erase the hard drive with was working properly according to the software.  It stopped erasing the disc after about 20 minutes and turned solid orange again, then blinking, then no status light  (but back lights were still lit).
    I'm a bit flabbergasted at this point, any suggestions on what to do next?  I think i've pretty much replaced everything except the logic board, but can't seem to find any information on the symptoms of a logic board malfunction. 
    Thanks!!!!!!!

    A Gen3 is identical board to a Gen4 although they have some differences in firmware and wireless card was updated on every model.. but a Gen3 is substantially faster than Gen1, Gen2 which also have identical boards.
    You can with careful shopping get a Gen3 pretty cheap.
    Most use a delta power supply which I think is a lot better than the flextronics used in most Gen1/2
    You can sell back the parts to ebay.. people still would buy the power supply etc. Even just the case can be useful to a repairer.
    But if the board is gone.. it is hard to repair.. not impossible.. but hard.
    Gen 3 and Gen 4 are not without faults.
    See this page.

    I have fixed it a different way.. by using the small converters you can buy in bulk from ebay for $1 each.. KIS3R33 .. they produce 3.3V at 2A peaking at 3A.. amazing.. I keep using them to replace onboard power converters by removing the inductor and simply power directly.. the end result has worked great. You can simply change the resistors around and get any output from 1v to 20v depending on input.
    Is it worth doing it .. no of course not.. it will waste many more hours than $50 is worth.. but it is kind of fun that you can actually make things work again.
    Here is a pic of the Gen 3 totally powered by me. All onboard power removed.
    This was to track down the fault in the Gen3.. but I am kind of pleased that it ended up neat enough and reliable enough to work for more than a year.. the Gen3 still serves as a way to get Netflix via network for a friend running 24/7.
    The units supply (from left to right)
    1v, 1.1v, 3.3v, 5v, 1.8v
    It is feed by 12v supply which is also directly connected to the hard disk.
    So it is possible to fix.. !! Only got to be a bit crazy.

  • How does the 1st gen appletv with the hard drive work?

    I want to know what the hard drive records and stores. Poscasts? Purchased media? Rented media? Your itunes media? Ripped DVD's?
    What does the hard drive hold media wise?
    Does the 1st gen have the same features as the 2nd, netflix, poscasts, PC media streaming?

    Does the 1st gen directly access podcasts without going thru itunes? Like the 2nd gen can do. Can the drive store podcasts?

  • 1st gen mac book pro and SSD drive overheating

    Sorry if this has been answered before but I found it hard to find my particular stiruation listed here.  I need some advice!
    I have a 1st gen mac book pro 2.33 GHz with 3GB of RAM (I belive its two 2GB modules). 
    I recently replaced the dead CD drive with an adapter (from ebay) that turns it into a second drive, and installed a 120GB OCZ SSD drive.  This drive is not the startup drive and my 320 GB drive is a backup/storage.
    While I was in there I replaced the thermal grease - it had been running hot for ages and I figured that dried out grease could be the reason.  I got some artic silver paste, carefully removed the logic board, cleaned off the new paste, and sparingly applied new paste.  Since I took out the fans in the process I cleaned those and the heat sync too. (all via info online, videos and infomational pages, etc, not with wild abandon)
    Everything seems to be running fine (I watched some movies fromt he hard drive.  youtube made it run a bit hot but ok) except when the computer goes to sleep or I close the lid.  Then the computer gets crazy hot and the fans are in overdrive and it won't wake up from sleep.  The power adapter also gets super super hot.
    I reset the PRAM and ran permissions, also updated the operating system - its not 10.6.8.
    I *just* reset the SMC (we'll see if that has any effect).
    I thought I'd ask here before opening up the machine again and poking around.
    Thank yoiu for any advice!

    ok, so I think this is the issue - it has to do with the fact that my regular hard drive is a seagate.  This thread is pretty much what has bene happening to me.

  • Can the 1st gen MBA's hard drive be replaced?

    I have been reading lots about the SSD's on the MacBook Pro's. I own a 1st gen MBA equipped with a SATA drive. My question is: Can the HD be switched out to a SSD? and if so, will Apple do it or does one have to resort to a third party? Just curious, thanks

    After reading this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10630288 and the Macworld review of the Runcore SSD here: http://www.macworld.com/article/145112/2009/12/runcoressdupgrade.html I took the plunge and bought the Runcore for $415. I think the Macworld review was right that the MBA 1st Generation is about 30% faster with the SSD replacing the PATA drive. I've got an extra 40GB of space as well.
    The Runcore package has everything you need to do the swap. New SSD, an empty case with either PATA ZIF or SATA II LIF interface. It even has a screwdriver. You swap the drives and run Carbon Copy Cloner and you are back in business.
    I bought my SSD here: http://www.mydigitaldiscount.com/ProductDetail.jsp?LISTID=80000AE0-1247088390

  • ATV 1st Gen keeps shutting down - can I swap drives?

    Some months back I bought a 160GB ATV 1st Gen to replace my 40GB model. Now, sometimes when I come to use the 'new' one, I often find I can't switch it on and it's dead. When this happens I have to pull out the power lead, re-insert and let it boot up again when all's fine. Until the next time.
    Has anyone any idea what could be wrong?
    If the problem's terminal for my ATV and it may be a power supply problem or other non-HD problem, can I try salvaging things by 'simply' taking out the 160GB drive and fitting it into the 40GB model which works fine?
    Thanks.

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!

  • Swapping drives in 1st gen iPod.

    It's not clear whether I should be posting here or in the "iPod Classic" forum.  I thought all of the first 5 or 6 generations if iPod were now classified as "Classic."
    Oh, well.  I have a 5GB 1st gen. iPod (white, click wheel) that has died.  An iPod service specialist examined it and said the logic board is bad.  I'd like to recover the music on my iPod, so I went on eBay & purchased a working 5GB 1st gen. iPod.
    I got my non-working iPod back from the repair service, pulled the drive, & put my drive in the 5GB 1st gen. iPod I purchased on eBay.  But none of the contents appear—it's as if the drive were empty.
    Am I missing something here?  Is there some "trick" to swapping hard drives between identical model iPods?  My iPod was formatted for Mac, but the iPod I got from eBay also appears to be formatted for Mac.  I can't come up with a hypothesis whereby my drive got wiped, so I think the contents have to still be there.

    hi. i am not following a lot of this since it seems very technical and is too abbreviated a presentation for me to understand.
    that said, i have /one/ WD 1 TB blue drives that have Lion installed on it with the Windows 7 Boot Camp workaround described by that url i got from you which failed in the last two or three months and i just now had a SECOND drive (it was simply a daily Carbon Copy Clone of the original drive described above) which failed within the last two weeks.
    i am pretty sure i had one other new WD drive (a 2 TB black caviar one) fail in this machine within the last year and this seems like a tone of drives failing.
    not sure i have anything special going on and the method of failure detection is simply Tech Tools reporting bad sectors which i am told is in fact indicating failure...
    am i missing something?
    also on this:
    "No to DU to zero a drive, better than nothing but you have Windows, you can run WD's own utility which is much better (works on non-WD also)"
    you are saying that downloading WD software is going to let me zero out my drives better than Disk Utility does? if so, how do i use this? i have mac OS and boot camp on my OS drive and MAC OS on my data drive and then i have two clones (one clone of each of these). you want me to d/l WD software while booted into Windows somehow before partitioning the drive or using DU to format it for Mac? i don't understand this very well apparently...
    THANKS

  • Will 1st Gen TC support WD Green drive?

    I just got a new modem from TWC with wifi and ethernet ports so I was thinking of retiring my 1st gen 500GB Time Capsule. I want at least 1.5TB of backup space now (for 3 Macs) so I either need a new NAS drive or swap out the old drive in the Time Capsule. I know the old power supply in this model won't support a lot of newer, high-powered drives; will it support a WD Green drive? From what I've read online the Greens pull about 7-8 watts max when spinning, would the TC handle this with it's stock power supply?
    TIA,
    JVK

    From what I've read online the Greens pull about 7-8 watts max when spinning, would the TC handle this with it's stock power supply?
    Actually no, the problem is not the draw for regular operation it is the start up current.. Green drives pull 2A on the 12v line. The old power supply will not sustain that current for long. Eventually the drive will not spin up... and the power supply will give out.
    But the PS is probably cooked out after this long anyway..
    Either replace it with a new power supply.. many suggestions here.
    https://sites.google.com/site/lapastenague/a-deconstruction-of-routers-and-modem s/apple-time-capsule-repair
    But IMHO a better solution is to sell off the gen1 and get a gen3 from ebay or your second hand market.. they have a better power supply.. they actually had a small number with 2TB drives and they can take up to 4TB. Plus the processor is 50% faster and since they are processor bound, the actual file transfer speed over ethernet at least is 50% better than the older Gen1/2 models. Gen3 also happens to be about the least troublesome model.. Gen4 has some horrible fault although the percentage affected is pretty low.. So far whatever problems Gen3 have had have proven repairable.

  • Apple TV 1st Gen can no longer connect to wireless networks

    My Apple TV (1st Gen) has recently lost the ability to connect to either of our wireless networks at home.  I rean the diagnostics at the reset screen and the Apple TV says it is performing normally.  In the settings, whenever I attempt to connect to a wireless network, I am now only offered "Other..." as a choice. Proceeding to the next screen, I enter the name of the network closest to the Apple TV -- an Airport Extreme set up for 5 GHz that this Apple TV connected with daily up until 2 days ago.  The Airport base station is perfoming normally, as my MacBook Pro can see it and establish a network connection without any difficulty.  The issue is limited to the Apple TV.  I did a Factory Restore, and now when I go to Wireless Network > "Other..." > Enter the name of the wireless network"  the resuit is always the same, and error message stating: "There was a problem connecting to the network. Check your settings and try again. (-4)".
    This message comes up almost immediately, without requesting a WiFi password -- suggesting to me that this Apple TV has lost the ability to connect to ANY wireless network due to a hardware failure.
    Q: Has anyone else in the Support Community had a similar experience with their 1st Gen Apple TV, and if so, did you find a solution to it?
    Note: When I first noticed the connction to this Apple TV had gone stale (greyed out in the iTunes Airplay Speakers list), and prior to doing the Factory Restore, I could play back iTunes content stored on the hard drive, but could not connect to the local wireless networks.  I noticed that the Apple TV was running very hot -- it has alwasy run pretty hot to the touch.
    If this Apple TV has died, I will get a 3rd Gen Apple TV, but wiill then have to work through the HDMI to Composite video + Audio issues, as this Apple TV is connected to our older (non-HDMI) TV.

    Follow-up:  Able to connect with ethernet cable, downloaded software updates, connected to iTunes, and synchec content.
    Next, disconnected the ethernet cable.  ATV1 froze and was restarted using the Menu + ( - ) combo on the remote.  Re-ran diagnostics yeilds: Apple TV is working fine.
    Restarted, then went to configure the Wirelss settings.   Apple TV once again does not show either of the two wireless networks.  Selecting "Other..." and entering the SSID yields the same immediate response:
    "There was a problem connecting to the network. Check your settings and try again. (-4)"
    No change on the wireless front :-(   Bummer.
    Looks like an ethernet connection is the only option left to continue using this Apple TV 1st Gen.
    Thanks for your help. -- Paul

  • IPod 1st Gen (Touch wheel, 10GB) isn't recognized - missing software?

    Recently, my 80GB video iPod decided to simply die on me, so I dug out my very first iPod, from 2001 or '02 I believe.
    It turns on fine, can scroll through menus, but there's nothing on it anymore - plug it into my computer (firewire-to-firewire), and the iPod goes through a menu where there's the disc and a magnifying glass and eventually a check mark (connotating that everything's fine) - but it never docks onto the computer or shows up on iTunes.
    I've SCOURED the internet for old iPod software updates, trying to find one early enough, so it can recognize it and I can restore and hopefully the problem will be fixed - but there's been SO many iPods since then, it's ancient, and no support was found anywhere.
    Does anyone have a solution, or a link to the earliest of iPod updaters? I looked for documentation, but it was 9 years ago - I don't have the CD anymore or anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    *In the 'About' menu on the iPod, the current version that's installed is 1.5 - don't know if that matters.
    **I'm trying to connect to a 15-inch PowerBook G4 (Aluminum?), currently installed with iTunes 8

    The current version of iTunes should be able to connect to even the 1st gen iPod. The one you have is 2nd gen, if it's the one with the four clicking buttons around the touch wheel. I have one of those, and although I use it as my little emergency/maintenance FireWire startup drive (because the screen failed on it), it is still recognized by iTunes on my Mac. Over FireWire, of course.
    The first thing you should try is to put it into Disk Mode.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363
    Note: The procedure for your iPod is at the bottom, where it says +If you have an older iPod model without a Click Wheel+.
    If that works, connect it to the computer. Hopefully it will appear both on your desktop and in iTunes. If so, use the Restore button in iTunes to erase the iPod's hard drive and initialize its software. The latest available version of the software for that iPod will be installed.
    You may also want to try a different FireWire cable. It's just a regular cable, so you don't have to use the thin white one.

  • My Apple TV (1st Gen) will not synch with iTunes on my Laptop

    I've been trying to do this for a while, it shouldn't be too difficult i think.
    All i want to do is synch all the content on my laptop with my Apple TV (and vice versa) so all the content including photos and home videos is the same on both my Apple TV and my laptop.
    Some points:
    There's enough hard drive space on both
    I'm using Windows 7 ultimate on my laptop
    The correct port exceptions have been added to Windows Firewall
    I have purchases on both my laptop and Apple TV from the iTunes store
    We're using a wireless network and it while it's possible to get them both cable wired, it would be a pain
    Home networking is set up in iTunes on my laptop
    I've set up my Apple TV to synch (not stream) with my account on my laptop
    Both iTunes and Apple TV are up to date with their downloads
    I think that's it - am i missing anything, or should this now just work?
    Cheers
    David

    As per the question, really...
    "My Apple TV (1st Gen) will not synch with iTunes on my Laptop"
    There's no error messages
    Only the films i've bought on my AppleTV appear on my AppleTV
    It's been synching for over 4 hours and hasnt got past the first film and the progress bar is not moving

  • My apple tv 1st gen will not boot up the light just keeps flashing yellow

    I turned the power on to my 1st gen apple tv about a week ago and the indicator light just kept flashing yellow it would not boot up I tried unplugging it letting it cool and plugging it back in, I left it plugged in for the day and it still wouldn't boot, I listened for hard drive clicking there was none, I looked at the Ifixit teardown and saw what looked like a CMOS battery, I've had a pc before with the same symptoms and replaced the battery and everything worked fine after. If anyone can provide a second opinion it would be much appreciated.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The most likely problem is a hardware failure.

  • My 1st-gen Nano has decided not to connecet...after having it for a year.

    I've got a First Generation iPod Nano, White, 4GB. I got it on December 25th, 2005. I have been using it since and it works fine. I have an iBook G4 that it has been connected to as well. Well, all of a sudden this week, the iPod doesn't want to mount up to the computer anymore. It doesn't show up in Finder or iTunes when it is connected. However, when it is plugged in through the USB cable, it still receives power and charges. I've also tried to connect the iPod to a Windows machine, but that wouldn't recognize it either. I've tried multiple cables, but that isn't the problem.
    So basically I've got an iPod nano that charges, but doesn't connect to a computer, so I can't change any of my music. I've reset the iPod and iBook several times, reinstalled iTunes, even started it up in Disk Mode to make sure that that wasn't a problem. I can't Restore or Reformat it either, because it doesn't show up in iTunes.
    Has this ever occured before?
