5.1 not working after driver upd

Ok, let me just inform you all of what the problem is, and how it came to be.
I bought GTA: SA yesterday, I have that small crackling sound every so often, not really annoying (Not really, but still slightly), but certain sounds are almost inaudiable (Which I found irritating). So, today I thought about updating my drivers, see if that would help. I tried to find out my version with little sucecss, then I went to: Contol Panel --> Sound and Audio Devices ---> Hardware ---> Creative SB Audigy 2VS (WDM) ---> Properties ---> Driver ---> Update Driver, selected Auto install, it found two, one said "Already installed" when I clicked on it, the other, looked the exact same, but it didn't say "Already installed", so I just installed that one, restarted, then on my 5. speakers, the subwoofer is no longer working, my centre speaker isn't working and neither is my right speaker.
I tested my speakers via the THX Setup Console, and I heard nothing from the centre (I cannot remember if it was that one alone at that time), so I got worried, and clicked "Roll Back Driver" and restarted.
After I restarted, I tested again, I'm not sure if it "Got worse" or was it already like that. I heard a sound coming from the subwoofer, when it got to my forward-right speaker which was really really strange. And nothing from the centre, or subwoofer. It seems to be acting like a 4 speaker system or something...
I wondered did the Roll Back work? So, I did it again, no change. Then I tried it again, and it said I couldn't Roll Back anymore. So I clicked "Update" and it's telling me it's up-to-date, no new drivers needed etc...
Now, I'm here, begging (Literally) for help.
I know the speakers are plugged in properly, I've had the computer since February and I have not messed with them since... Anytime today, which is when I noticed the difference. I checked was it set on 5. in Audio Devices etc... in Control Panel, and it was. Whenever I came accross any speaker "Selection" or whatnot, it was on 5.. So, that's why I'm thinking in the area of drivers (As I did update them and got the problem), or maybe some setting I overlooked.
If it was a power/connection problem, then I wouldn't be able to turn it on, as my centre speaker controls that, and it has a seperate connection into the subwoofer.
I am out of ideas, and in need of help.
Any help will be greatly appreciated, and I hope to God I can get this working again.
And please, I would appreciate if this topic doesn't "die", and for a quick response.
Thank you.
Edit: I forgot to mention, before clicking "Roll Back" for a second time, I tried a System Restore, but my nearest point was yesterday, before installing GTA: SA. No change.
I am not very good in this area, it was not smart of me to go messing about with drivers, but when I found I could just click a button and it'd find one for me, I thought it wouldn't screw up like this...
I'm not sure if reinstalling the drivers would help, and if they would, after looking over how to do it, with my lack of "Expertise" in this area, I would be very nervous about doing so, I feel I might make it worse if I do. But if I am pointed in that direction, I will give it a go, I just wanted to see if there was any other way I could fix it first. Thanks again.Message Edited by scrood on 06-25-2005 04:46 AM

Hi, solved the problem. I also noticed that when isntalling itunes, quicktime never installed. So i installed quicktime manually and thats when the problems started. I mangaed to solve the problem by deleteing every trace of quicktime, and installing quicktime 6, then reinstalling quicktime7. Problem solved.

  • Mic Jack not working after Driver Update, Console unavailable, can't install

    LMic Jack not working after Driver Update, Console unavailable, can't install? I've had nothing but problems after downloading the latest updates via the auto-updater.
    I'm currently using the Creative SB X-Fi Pro Series card. I've had it for close to 6 months and have not had any issues until I ran the auto-updater last night, and while it downloaded over 250Mb of updates, all of them failed to install as described below.
    I'm running on Windows Vista Ultimate, 64-bit
    My main issue is the fact that my microphone is no longer working. I've done a lot of searching and I think the problem has to do with flexijack not being a microphone jack, but instead is an 'in-line' jack. I can no longer find my audio control console, which allows me to switch between gaming and entertainment modes, ect. The solution I found on the KB says that you can switch the blue jack on the back of the card from an in-line jack to a mic jack within the Audio console. I tried downloading it, but while going through the install, I get an error saying the files could not be found and a prompt which asks for a disk or file location. The same thing pretty much happens with all of the items I attempted to download and install.
    I was able to run console fine, as well as use my mic yesterday before I attempted any updates. I attempted the updates because since I've had the card, I've had issues where after I exit a game, all my sound will become crackly and static. Before, I would simply open up the console and switch back-and-forth from gaming to entertainment, which would fix the problem most of the time. If that didn't work, a restart would fix it, but now I've opened up a whole new set of issues.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    I also want to say that the support tickets should not require a serial number to submit a new ticket. My product is registered, so I got rid of the box which contains all that information, leaving me at the mercy of these boards...

    Hello all. Fisrt of all, this are my specs: Yoga 2 pro 13". WiFi card: Intel(R)Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260. I bought it from Best Buy on November 27, 2014. If you aquired your Yoga before this date, you may have the single band WiFi card. As many of you have experienced, I also had a bunch of issues with my WiFi connectivity and this is how I was able to solve it. At least it has been a couple of days that I haven't had any issues. The first symptom was the usual connection drops every X amount of time. For me it was about every 2 hours. I first unchecked the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" option in the Power Management tab of device manager and disabled U-APSD support in the Advanced tab of device manager. This action did not solve the problem. I then downloaded and updated the driver from the Intel web site (http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect) and this seemed to solve the drops; however, a new problem arised: Everytime my Yoga would wake up from sleeping mode, all my wifi networks were gone and the adapter showed as disabled in Device Manager. I would have to anable it to have my networks back. It was a solution but a pain the butt to have to do this everytime. After hours of reading post after post in several forums, I read a repy from Lenovo asking to try leaving the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" CHECKED if you were using the latest version of the driver. I went back to device manager and checked it back and that seems to have solved the problem. So far I haven't had any drops and everytime my laptop comes back from sleeping mode the WFi connection is still there! Here is a recap of how everything ended up: -The driver version I installed is 17.1.0.19-The driver date is 7/21/2014-In device manager|Advanced, U-APSD support is Disbled.-In device manager|Power Management, "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" is checked. Hope this helps somebody else.

    Message Edited by Viper03 on 04-06-2008 05:09 PM

    Uninstall everything creative starting with console launcher, then apps, then soundblaster stuff via programs and features.
    Then go into device manager and select the xfi device, properties and uninstall the drivers.
    Then go into the registry and under HKLM/software delete the creative tech key.
    Then reboot into safe mode. Don't let it install the driver for the "new device" select "later"
    Then open command window. Type "set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=" enter. Then "devmgmt.msc" enter. Select "show hidden devices". Then go into non-plug and play devices. Delete the following: creative 20x hal driver, creative os services driver, creative proxy driver, creative soundfont management device driver, ct20xut.dll, ctaudfx.dll, cteapsfx.dll, ctedspfx.dll, ctedspio.dll, ctedspsy.dll, cterfxfx.dll, ctexfifx.dll, cthwiut.dll, ctsblfx.dll, e-mu plug-in architecture driver. Or all of these that you have. You will be prompted to reboot after each. Choose later. Once you've deleted them all reboot again into safe mode. Again select "later" if prompted to install drivers.
    Run driver sweeper or driver cleaner, or both if you want.
    Now go into C:\windows\system32. Add a filter selection for "company". Delete all creative files. There are 5 or 6 of them.
    Now repeat for C:\windows\SysWow64.
    Reboot into vista (normal). Select later if prompted to install a driver. Now you are totally rid of anything creative!
    Install the latest x-fi driver from the website. Reboot.
    Then install any other apps off the creative website that might be newer than those on the cd.
    Then install the desired apps off the cd. Reboot.
    Uninstall the automatic update via "programs and features".
    You should be back in business.

  • Thinkpad X61 screen not working after driver install?

    Recently I decided to change my operating system on my Thinkpad X61 so I completly refreshed the system and installed Windows 7 . I finished the install and it seemed to boot properly . As I began to install my drivers via the Lenovo website it asked for a RESART. After restarting the PC it wouldnt show a screen . I've tried to connect to another output and that didnt work.
    As for the motherboard theory I honestly dont think that is the problem because I've seen several people on several forums discuss the same problem and they've found a solution but I cant seem to get anyone to discuss what that solution was.
    I am a student so I am in need of my computer so if someone could please help me as soon as possible.
    Moderator note; moved to correct board

    Are you really talking about X61? If so, this is the wrong forum, but regardless, here is what to do. Pull the battery out. Unplug the machine, and press the power button several times, holding it for 5 seconds the last time. Put the battery back and plug it in. Turn it on and try to boot into the BIOS. If the screen stays black, either the screen or the motherboard has died. If you can plug it into an external monitor and try again, you can tell which one it is.

    What type of troubleshooting were we able to do with you? I want to make sure that we can get some sort of resolution for this problem.
    It is quite possible the battery door may get your phone in working order again. I'm not sure if the store has it in stock, but it is available in our warehouse for $14.99 which can be ordered via customer service.

  • Internet not working after installing "StarTech Thunderbolt Docking Station" driver

    My Internet is not working after installing "StarTech Thunderbolt Docking Station" driver although "Ethernet" and "wireless" say they're connected, still there is no internet.
    I have bought a "StarTech Thunderbolt Docking Station" as I need to use 2 thunderbolt based pieces of equipment on my "MacBook Pro"; which are a 2nd monitor as well as a Thunderbolt driven Audio Interface.
    When I first plugged all my equipment to the "StarTech Thunderbolt Docking Station" everything was working fine, all pieces of equipment worked as well as Ethernet from both the computer and the docking station were working perfectly.
    However, when I inserted the "StarTech Thunderbolt Docking Station driver CD" and installed the drivers, the internet on my computer has stopped working. Although the Ethernet says it is "connected" (same goes for "Thunderbolt Ethernet" when cable is connected to it) still the internet does not work. Even my wireless internet is not working anymore. Furthermore, also after installing the Docking Station drivers, my iTunes is crashing whenever started.
    Please help, this is really urgent.
    I've been looking for answers all around but can't seem to find any.
    I'm using OSX Mavericks 10.9.2
    I've tried fixing stuff with Network preferences, like changing IP address, renewing DHCP leace.
    I also tried typing IP address, Subnet Mask, Router and DNS Sever manually... Nothing seems to be working.
    Note: I know someone could suggest to "uninstall" the Thunderbolt Station driver, however, I can't find an "uninstallation file", even the CD that came with the docking station does not have it.

    I had exactly the same problem today, and I was lucky enough to solve it.
    Here's what helped me:
    First, I found a hint to Suspicious Package in this thread.
    With Suspicious Package installed, I was able to identify the script in StarTech's installer pkg. It' called "postflight".
    Amongst other things, postflight runs this command:
    sudo mv usr/share/sandbox/mDNSResponder.sb usr/share/sandbox/_mDNSResponder.sb
    A quick check in Apple's knowledge base revealed, that the mDNSResponder is essential to use DNS (i.e. to resolve server names like www.apple.com) and bonjour.
    I moved th mDNSResponder back to where it belongs:
    sudo mv usr/share/sandbox/_mDNSResponder.sb usr/share/sandbox/mDNSResponder.sb
    After a reboot, everything worked fine again.
    I have no idea, why StarTeck disables an essential tool. Let's assume it's an error ...
    But after this experience, I didn't want the StarTech ethernet driver on my machine (I had installed it just for curiosity, anyway - yes, I know, I shouldn't have ...), so I removed the kext the installer had copied to my system:
    sudo mv /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleIntel8 2580.kext /Users/myusername
    (You see I didn't delete the kext directly, I just moved it away and tried another reboot. Now everything works fine, so I'm going to delete the kext entirely and paint a big red cross on StarTech's installer disk.
    Hope this helps.

And yes previously i've been told by Apple that I needed the Box Set (not the family pack.  i am using the family pack for OS Snow Leopard) to upgrade my 10.4.11 mac - they never mentioned adding ram but i figured that out on my own and an apple specialist recommended it when i purchased Snow Leopard and confirmed that I coul duse the Snow Leopard to upgarde from Tiger (10.4.11). I've also read extensively (as i said above) that it isn't necessary (always) to buy the box set. Several 10.4.11 users report having upgraded using the Snow Leopard upgrade disk only (not the Box Set) without trouble on intel macs (also see the apple link i posted). So i'm just ondering how they did it and i cannot.

  • Hp Mini 110 1013tu Keyboard is Not working after upgrade to win 7

    Hello need help on weird happenings to my keyboard..
    Before i upgrade the Operating System From Windows XP to Windows 7 the Hp Mini 110 is working fine..
    All keys on keyboard is working and touchpad is also working.
    But after upgrading to windows 7 some keys on keyboard are not working like z,x,c,v, left ctrl and other more keys..
    what do you think is the problem??
    Hardware Issue? or Driver Issue?
    please help thank you..

    Hello @MysticDragon ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand some of the keys on your keyboard are not working after installing Windows 7.
    I do not see any drivers available for your notebook for Windows 7 on the HP website, so their might be some compatibility issues as it's going to rely on Windows update to find current drivers. This doesn't mean it will not work, but I cannot say for sure that it will.
    Try this:
    1. Click Start.
    2. Click Control Panel.
    3. Click Clock, Language, and Region.
    4. Click Region and Language.
    5. Click the Keyboards and Languages tab.
    6. Click Change keyboards...
    7. On the General tab, make sure English (United States) - US is selected in the Default input language field.
    8. Click on any other keyboards in the Installed services list.
    9. Click Remove.
    10. Repeat for all other non-English (United States) keyboards.
    You may also want to try rolling back to Windows XP and see if the issue persists. It is possible the issue is coincidental and not the direct result of the update to Windows 7.
    Let me know if this works!

    Welcome to the HP Forums  MillaMagia,
    I see by your post that the USB isn't being recognized.
    I can help you with this issue.
    Are you using the same USB cable? (known good USB cable)
    You want to use the normal USB slot 2.0 cable and not the latest USB 3.0.
    USB 3.0 are supposed to be backwards compatible.
    Try another USB port on the Laptop, some of the USB ports are more powered then others.
    I have provided a document to see if the printer is partially recognized in the device manager, which is causing the printer not to be recognized again. (the uninstall from the CD should have removed the entry and the printer from the registry)
    Leave the printer turned on and the USB cable connected directly to the computer and the printer's power cord directly into a wall outlet.
    How do I get into Windows Device Manager?
    Here is a document for Identifying problems in Windows Device Manager.
    Check to see if there are any hardware driver conflicts, you might see a ! mark or a red x beside a device with a conflict or unknown device, look under universal serial bus controllers, look for USB printing support or mass storage device, delete the entry by right clicking and select uninstall, OK.
    Let me know how it was listed. (screen shots welcome)
    If this is a Laptop then check the power management settings.
    Access the device manager. Windows 8-How do I access the Device Manager.
    Select universal serial bus controllers from the list, for each USB root hub, right click and left click on properties, for power management remove the check mark for "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power". It allows the computer to limit or turn off power for this device.
    Disconnect the USB, run the full uninstall and reinstall the printer software again.
    If you need further assistance, let me know.
    Have a nice day!
    Thank You.
