A few problems with Sound Blaster LI

I recently purchased this card (Soundblaster Li've! 24-bit) and i cant figure out how to get it to work correctly... I am using the Battlefield 2 headset (made by logitech i think) for Teamspeak and the only way i can get the mircrophone to work is by having the EAX console opened up with Karaoke enabled. If I disable it my microphone stops working, or if I deselect the "Microphone effects" box it stops working...also in Battlefield 942 (not sure about BF2) some of the sounds are excelent and some of the sounds (like when your driving a tank/jeep) sound like a garbage disposal with a fork in it... I have messed with the in-game sound settings and the main sound settings/properties under windows. I have updated the drivers for it to the more recent ones but still no difference... I have also uninstalled all the drivers and reinstalled them but still no luck... I have disabled my onboard sound.
I am running windows XP on a P4 2.4 gig with a Asock motherboard
HELP ASAP!:smileyindifferent:
P.S. also is there a way i can, well lets say have my headphones with microphone and my regular 2. speakers plugged in at the same time? and just have some type of program to switch between the two? this is the least of my worries i just want it to work correctly!

well i got the sound quality way up by uninstalling and reinstalling just the most recent driver(not the one on the cd) and that made a world of difference on sound quality but now my mic doesnt work! anyone know how to get the mic to work without installing all that extra EAX crap?
this is becoming one big headache!:angry:

Sorry for my english, im portugueseMessage Edited by soundblaster99 on 09-0-2006 03:54 PM

Here's a link on how to use Add/Remove software in Control Panel. After removing the software, remove the soundcard from the computer and reboot. If that boot has no problems, then put the soundcard back in the same slot or a different slot and reinstall.

I know the "!" next to Multimedia audio device isnt the problem because that was there before i reformated when the sound worked.
Ive Downloaded both:
Li'veDrvUni-Pack(ENG)
and
Li'veDrvPack_Patch
(Not 00% sure either of these drivers are the right thing for me sense when i type my model number into the driver search box it can't find it for some reason.)
I always get an error message that says "Setup cannot detect sound blaster audio device on your system.
Ive tried using Ctcomp with no luck
Does anyone have any idea on how to get my sound card to work?
Thanks in advance guys

You don't say what drivers your using.
2 threads to look at are http://forums.creative.com/creativel...ssage.id=25677 for drivers, and http://forums.creative.com/creativel...scending&page= for something that might help.You have a SB0228 according to that prefix.
I think to loose that message, you may have to either edit the registry of use something like driver cleaner http://www.drivercleaner.net/

Problems with Sound Blaster PCI 128 at Wi

Hello,
I've a Sound Blaster PCI 28 Sound Card from Creative. I never had any problems with it when I was using it at WinME. But now I had to install WinXP Prof (incl. SP + SP2) for using some new programs and the soundcard doesn't work at all there.
The card is shown at the device manager at "Other/Unkown devices" as "Audio Controller for Multimedia". I downloaded some drivers from the archi've of the creative homepage witch were said to be for this card used at WinXp. Here are the links for this drivers:
For example:
http://de.europe.creative.com/support/downloads/download2.asp?MainCategory=&Product=864&dlcentric= 843&Product_Name=PCI+28&OSName=Windows+XP
http://de.europe.creative.com/support/downloads/download2.asp?MainCategory=&Product=864&dlcentric= 255&Product_Name=PCI+28&OSName=Windows+XP
http://de.europe.creative.com/support/downloads/download2.asp?MainCategory=&Product=864&dlcentric= 976&Product_Name=PCI+28&OSName=Windows+XP
But none of this drivers can be installed. When I start the installation after some time of loading there appears an alert with says:
"Setup wasn't able to find a Sound Blaster Audiocard on your system. Please make sure that your Soundblaster hardware is installed correctly before starting the setup. Setup will finish/exit now."
Does anyone know how to get this card running on WinXp?
Does anyone know some alterati've drivers witch could be suitable for this card and WinXP?
Thx for help!

5.1 problems with Sound Blaster L

Hello all!
I am having problems with my new 5. setup. I have the Logitech X-530 5. system with 5 satellites (Front: L/R/C, Rear: L/R) and what I believe is a Sound Blaster Li've! 5. card. The model number on the card is CT4780 and it has fi've ports on the back (plus MIDI).
I connected the ports by color and only the Front L/R and sub work. I unplugged Black/Orange, and everything still works. I swapped the orange/black, still nothing. I updated the Windows profile to be 5. surround instead of 2 speakers, that doesn't work. I updated the Creative Labs drivers, that didn't do anything.
I am only getting sound from Front L/R and sub, nothing from Center and Rear R/L. All the connections are secure and in their correct places. I have rebooted 0 times, that didn't do anything.
I am totally lost. Does anyone have any pointers?
[edit]: I am trying to get the sound out of Winamp. I have "Hardware Acceleration" on and have tried everything. The DirectSound plugin shows that only two channels are being used.

I tried resetting the card AND the this:
http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=soundblaster&message.id=2563
Nothing worked.
Please help! I am using the Logitech X-530 speakers.

Problems With Sound Blaster Audigy: New Sys

I just received my new computer from Dell:
Pentium D 3.0ghz
Geforce 7800 GTX 256mb
2 GIGs ram
Windows Xp Prof x64
SoundBlaster Audigy
My problem occurs in my game called Nascar Racing 2003 Season. The sounds play fine, however when It comes time to load more 3dimensional sounds (like cockpit), the sounds turn into a high pitched buzz, and then freezes my computer so that not even ctl-alt-del works. Sometimes this happens when exiting the game as well, and my system does a complete memory dump and then shows this file: ctoss2k.sys..
I've reinstalled the drivers, the game, and I'm out of ideas. I don't have any other games to test this one, but I've run the Dell diagnostics and run the dxdiag for the sound and it passed with flying colors. If nothing can be done here my next idea is getting on the phone with Dell and having them fix my new computer!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
P.S. On my last computer I had Sound Blaster Li've! and that worked perfectlyMessage Edited by mciarlo on -0-2005 04:05 AM

Noticed your setup (XP PRO 64)
Correct me if Im wrong but I dont think there are drivers for 64bit yet Right?

Problems with Sound Blaster Live! 1024 and Windows 2000 Profession

Hello everybody, and thank you since now for your help and support.
Please, forgive my english (I'm italian) not so good, but I hope you can understand me the same.
I have a Sound Blaster Li've! 024, and so far everything works fine with <EM>Windows 98 SE</EM>, but lately I have installed <EM>Windows 2000 Professional </EM>on my PC, and now nothing works.
Nothing, neither the softwares, they don't even start!
Here is what I tried so far:
- First, I tried to install the old version of the programs, the ones that I had in the CD-ROM when I bought the sound card. At this point, I couldn't even uninstall the softwares!
- Then, I tried to update the drivers, but it seems that they're already updated when you install Win2000, and the uninstallation didn't works yet.
- At last, I have downloaded the new software pack, Li'veDrvUni-Pack.exe, but nothing even so. But with this, at least, I was able to uninstall everything from the PC (even if not perfectly).
- Today, I tried to install only the new pack, Li'veDrvUni-Pack.exe, but still nothing works. When I start running the program (e.g. AudioHQ), I can see the hourglass for few seconds and then everything aborts.
Please, help me! What can I do? I really don't want to buy a new sound card, even because my SB Li've! 024 works perfectly until now.
Thank you very much for the attention and for your suggestions.

Problems with SOUND BLASTER LIVE! DIGITAL

Friends,
I have a SB LIVE! 5. DIGITAL. My Windows XP SP2 detects my sound card but he dont know what card is, and i make a download of the lastest driver and he says: YOU DONT HAVE A SOUND BLASTER CARD>
I dont understand what happend, on Windows 98 works well, isn?t a problem with my sound card.
My computer is:
MSI K7N2 DELTA-L
MSI FX5700 ULTRA
768MB DDR 400 SAMSUNG
20GB SAMSUNG 7200
SB LIVE! 5. DIGITAL
DVD-RW LG 6X
I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!

Trew,
Did this card come preinstalled in your system? If so this may be an OEM model and you will need to contact the company you purchased your computer from for drivers for it. If this is not the case you may try moving the card to a different PCI slot and trying the install from there.

Problems with sound blaster live 24 b

Hello,
I have some problems with my sound because i'm using a 5. configuration of speakers it works perfectly but if i put my PC on hibernate for example, when i turn it on the configuration changes an the program put the confguration on hearphones and so the sound is very bad. I don't know why it changes alone.
I have a sound card Sound Blaster li've 24 Bits.
Could somebody help me?
Thanks.
Message Edited by dolu on 07-28-2005 :36 AM

dolu,
Your post isn't very clear. When you come out of Hibernate, is the configuration wrong? Or doesn't 5. work then?
Can you provide some more detail on what exactly happens, and also what kind of system (PC) you have.

Problems with Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 and a freshly reformatted windows 98se

Hello.
Lets get right down to business shall we? I've recently reformatted my computer and reinstalled the somewhat outdated OS windows 98 second edition. I've only recently managed to get my network card and modem working with my refreshed machine again but now I'm having problems getting my sound card (Sound Blaster Li've! 5. Digital) working again too. Its as if the computer CAN'T recognize the fact that there is a sound card inserted into the port. What do I do?

Try the card in another PCI slot to see if it will pick it up then.
Which model is this exactly (like Li've 5. Player, Li've 5. Digital, or another)? Do you know which model number is printed on the card?
It's possible the card doesn't have Windows98 support, newer cards do not support that Operating System so it may not have drivers on the CD for that OS.

Problems With Sound Blaster Audigy 2

The Problem that I'm having is this:
Every time that i bring up the volume console to do whatever, once i move the mouse cursor into the window, my computer either restarts or locks up. Now I have tried over and over again to update all drivers and software for this sound card. Even thinking that it might be a compatibility issue with other cards (video, wireless) i updated their drivers as well. Doing so made me run into other problems, like opening up office Word, just locks up. I never had these problems before at all until i installed this sound card. Now, the card works perfectly! Sound comes out in all respecti've ports and microphone and line in works as well. Its the software that I cant seem to use. I just don't understand why, this is a brand new card with its own software. But to add lastly to this, I formatted hard dri've, installed Windows XP home, then immediately afterwards i installed the drivers and software for the sound card and it worked like nothing was wrong at all, software and all. But once i installed my video drivers and software, either the sound card software didn't work or the operating system would lock up right after the splash load screen. Please, can someone let me know anything that i can do to fix this problem! It's been very bothersome and annoying as all! Thank You.

Alright, I once again formatted the hard dri've. This is what i've done:
Windows XP Home w/SP
All Motherboard Drivers
Disabled On-Board Sound
Installed Audigy 2 ZS Drivers and Software
Removed Wireless Card and Video Capture card
And all Windows OS updates
Direct X 9.0c
But what i haven't done yet is installed the drivers and software for the video card. I have a ATI 9800 XT 256mb AGP card, getting updated drivers for the card is not a problem. But I also didn't install service pack 2 yet either. im trying to figure what is really causing the problem now. But as of now, the sound card and software is working properly. thats pretty much where i stand now, so if there is anyone out there that might now what i can do from here, or what should i NOT do, please let me know!
Thanks again

Could use some help. I am senior citizen and this is not helping my senility. Thanks!!
Are there error messages coming out?
Which operating system are you using?
NOTE: Samplerate and bit-depth for ASIO in Audigy series cards is fixed to 6-bit/48kHz (and 24-bit/96kHz). If your 'project' is set for 44.kHz, it's possible that you can't get it started.
If you can't get the software started because of ASIO error then, you could try
- temporarily rename ctasio.dll (this file can be found under Windows\System32\) so the software/system can't find it anymore
- install asio4all driver which supports all samplerates your card is able to ( http://www.asio4all.com )

[SOLVED]Problem with sound in HDMI

Hello good society of Arch
Now I have problems with sound from HDMI. I use Arch as an tvPc, wasting movies and tv shows on it. I use ALSA and it works well, except of a few files that I have, then there is picture but sound is either twisted or not played at all. It does not matter whether I use vlc or mplayer, I'm experiencing the same problem.
I have not found anything about this with google, other problems have been either hdmi sound working or not, not like it is with me, sometimes it works and sometimes it don't.
I know that the files are ok, I can play them in anther pc I have (also using Arch on that pc).
Does anybody know what the problem might be? What do I have to look at to find out what the problem is? This have been like this for some time now, but I haven't looked into it before, because I don't use TV that muts, but the wife does and when she stats blaming Arch, I have too do something about it.
I have never encountered problem with Arch that i cant solve by using this forum and google
Thanks

Problem with sound in games requiring quicktime

I recently purchased CSI 1. I installed the game and the latest version of quicktime player. As soon as the game starts and the first character starts talking the game pauses as if loading and then plays for a second and pauses again for a few seconds. This intermittent sound problem makes it impossible to play the game as the freezing stops everything from functioning. I tried another game that requires quicktime to be installed and that game is pausing the same. Has anyone else had this problem? I have all the latest drivers installed for Vista. Any help would be much appreciated.

Do you get any problems with sound in other (older) games? You didn't mention which drivers in particular you updated, but make sure the graphics card's ones are included.
With regards to Half Life 2, check out this page on the Steam site:

If that page doesn't open correctly for you, just go to http://www.steampowered.com , then Support, and select Half Life 2 in the product list. It should be one of the first cases listed.

Issue with Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit driver

,Issue with Sound Blaster Li've! 24-bit driverw Hello, I have a 2004 Dell Dimension DIM900 and a couple months ago it began making a loud crackling noise sporadically. It sounds like real ear-piercing static, like when a microphone is being plugged in, only in short random bursts at alternating pitches so I originally thought my speakers were blown. I turned them off and decided to use a headphone set only to hear the same annoying sound.
I looked in the sound settings and read that I have a Sound Blaster 24-bit internal driver in my system, assuming that information is correct.
What can I do? I did the search and read the read on those X-Fi drivers that had a similar problem, but I didn't know if that was the same as this because the thread concluded that their problem was exclusi've to systems with Nvidia dual SLI graphic configurations and X-Fi drivers. ? Any input would be appreciated, thanks!

Hi IT5,
May I know if this Li've! 24bit came pre-installed on your Dell computer or did you purchase & install the sound card separately?
