Any sulutions for audigy 2 issues(setup could not detect the card at my pc)

i've looked for so long for a propper solution but i did not find anything usefull.
first i've downloaded the drivers and try to install them with no success.
second, i tried with the original cd, again no success.
iv'e moved the card to a diffrent slot , still nothing, always the same info when trying to install.
iv'e looked some here but there are a lot of threads about audigy, it will take a couple of years to look into all of them
i'm using win xp, my p.c is kind of new( year old), gigabite dsl motherbord if it matters.
even tried before a long time to contact your support, its a shame for this company, no single answear from you(even the other time i tried to contact you about my speakers).
hope that someone here can give an idea/s what else i can do with this.
thanks in advance
p.s
creative support/management its about time to treat your custumers or close this company, you have a lot of issues and you have zero support, your loss...

Okay I ended up fixing this problem myself seeing as a lot of these forum topics just come to a dead end with no real resolution.
Let's get 'Creative' ...
I removed the reg entry hkey_local_machine/software/creative tech, removed all drivers, programs, and anything that even smelt faintly of creative.
Just to make sure I ran the CTZAPXX.exe on the cd and removed drivers again there also.
Then upon a swift reboot I used CTZAPXX.exe to install the drivers, ran the cd, unchecking the option at the bottom of the 'custom' install list to install windows drivers (as it had already been done)
Now I'm back in business
Though, all through the ages I've never had a creative soundcard, which hasn't given me trouble at some stage, man I even have shameful memories of my AWE64... Lift your game creative, you've got a great product line, just a pity the shoddy drivers sometimes let them down.
This post may be a little outdated, but it's really intended for all you googlers out there I really hope this fixes your problem!

Setup could not detect any Sound Blaster Audigy card on your system

Hi from Barcelona!
I've a Soun Blaster Audigy card (Model: SB0090)
I tried to install the Audigy software and drivers from the original product CD but Setup was unable to find Augigy hardware and halted the installation!
"Setup could not detect any Sound Blaster card on your system. Please ensure that your Sound Blaster hardware is properly installed before running this Setup program"
By the way. Manually the sound drivers can be installed working only front speakers of the 5. Creative system
I tried a clean installation of Windows XP and Windows 2000 PRO (reformatted the hard dri've) but Audigy install CD still could not find Audigy hardware.
I've changed the card to a different PCI slot with the same results!!! Damaged?
What is happening? I need a solution!! Many users have this problem to with other Sound Blaster cards and models...

It seems to be an important BUG of Creative Sound Blaster Audigy cards related with EEPROM!!!
Yes, indeed, that is my theory as well. After much ****hing and on-line research, it seems that this problem has been around since 2002. From Creative Labs point of view, it appears they view this as "pilot error" -- the user has installed the card in a system that is not fully compliant with the latest standards -- specifically Microsofts ACPI (configuration and power management). A wide variety of configurations and/or actions seem to cause the PCI subsystem ID in the Audigy EEPROM to be erroneously overwritten -- including certain older motherboards, certain older PCI cards, and perhaps other actions.
Once the subsystem ID in the EEPROM is overwritten and has garbage information, many or all of the Creative applications cease working and various sound problems can arise. Attempts to reinstall the driver or update to the latest driver consistently fail becuase of the dreaded "Setup could not detect any Sound Blaster Audigy card in your system..." error message.
There appear to be four fixes:
) Get a replacement Audigy card from Creative, but <EM>only</EM> after you perform their prescribed troubleshooting steps to prove that the card is indeed the source of the problem. Apparently, the steps include installing the card in another PC. Apparently, Creative in Europe is more willing to replace your card than Creative in the US. It's up to Creative Labs whether or not they issue you an RMA ("Return Material Authorization").
However, this fix will fail if the root causes of the EEPROM error are not corrected. Apparently, Creative Tech Support isn't always a foolproof source of guidance, so the burden is on you. The root cause MUST be corrected before the new card is installed, or the same problem will happen all over again. Eliminating the root cause may involve replacing your motherboard, replacing other PCI cards, or manual configuration (disabling ACPI).
2) Reprogramming the EEPROM. This is for advanced PC owners only, because it involves desoldering the EEPROM, programming it, and resoldering (and even lifting some pins to prevent reprogramming). There are instructions on how to do this posted in the German Creative Labs discussion board, by a Russian (!). I have links for those who are interested.
3) Removing the Creative drivers and software (using Clean Sweep procedures and third party utilities), updating again using Windows XP SP2, then physically moving the card to different PCI slots (multiple times if necessary), until ACPI Bios writes the proper information into the EEPROM. You can then reload the drivers.
Again, the root causes of the problem must be removed or your fix will only be temporary (a day or two). This solution also seems to be very dependent on the specifics of your system (motherboard, PCI cards, etc.).
4) Some people have had success in by-passing the step in the driver installation process where they check for the Audigy card subsystem ID, using a utility called CTZAPxx on the installation CD. Then then manually install each of the applications they need to use.
5) Use the open source driver from the kX Project (http://kxproject.lugosoft.com/index.php). This driver (and associated utilities) does not depend on the detailed configuration of the card (i.e. they don't check subsystem ID) and appear to work fine even with cards with corrupted EEPROM.
This driver is aimed primarily at computer music applications, and opens up the on-card signal processing capabilities. The downside is that the Audigy 2 ZS does not have all of it's capabilities supported <EM>yet </EM>(e.g. Dolby Digital decoding, S/PIF passthrough, possibly some game sound features, THX, 24-bit recording, support for Hyperthreading CPUs, etc.). But scanning over the discussion boards, the user community seems to be MUCH happier with the performance and support associated with these drivers than with Creative's.
This is the direction I'm going. I'm not a big gamer and I don't really care about the latest in home theater audio performance. Basic 5. surround sound is all I care about, and I'm much more interested in computer music capabilities.
I have also lost faith in Creative Labs as a vendor to provide the support I want and need going forward. Just imagine if the Creative Labs were running the Space Shuttle program :smileysurprised:.

Hejssan
I think you understand english good enough (som ni alla svenskar brukar g?ra (b?ttre ?n vi finskar i alla fall)) so I just give a link to another thread on this forum.
This issue you're having, is quite common for Creative Audigy carrds (perhaps with OEM models mostly) if you just search this forum.
You can use those instructions to get some drivers installed to your card. Install drivers first and then all the Creative software you need.
You need WinRar being installed into your system to get driver package extracted. You can download it from http://www.winrar.de/edownload/winrar.html

Setup could not detect any Sound Blaster Audigy 2 on your Sys

Here's the deal. I have used my Soundblaster Audigy 2 Platinum without incedent for a long time with the following box:
Asus A7V333
XP 800
.5 GB DDR 2700
I changed cases, but all of the components remained the same. Everything else went like clockwork, but no Audigy.
So I did a clean and replace of the drivers, however, I had no Audigy CD. I ordered the CD from Creative, but it looks to be a CD for the Audigy 2 XS...will this work for the Audigy 2 Platinum?
So when I go to run the CD, I get the following error:
Setup could not detect any Sound Blaster Audigy on your system.
Please ensure that your Sound Blaster Hardware is properly installed before running this Setup program
Setup will now exit.
I didn't change slots and the IRQ is still the same.
I can provide any additional documentation, i.e. screen shots of device manager, et al. to anyone interested in helping.
Also, if you li've in Chicago, I will get you drunk.
I am so irritated with this thing... I remember it being a pain in the @$$ to install the first time, but not like this.
Cheers,
-rob

Setup could not detect any soundblas

I have an audigy 2 SB card. Prior to a month ago, it worked fine. My motherboard blew a gasket, and I replaced it with an ABIT VT7. After installing the audigy 2 card on the new MB, the card seemed to work, although it seemed to have a conflict with my video card (an ati 8500 all-in-wonder) which it didn't have before changing motherboards. In an effort to solve that problem, I uninstalled all my video and audio drivers and started over (among other things), and I decided to install my soundblaster drivers first. I decided to start with the original disk and then automatically update. And here's what happens.
When I boot, the computer detects a multimedia controller. I "Cancel", thinking that I will install that via the CD-ROM. When I go to install the drivers, I get the following message: "Setup could not detect any Soundblaster audio card on your system." Please ensure that your Soundblaster hardware is properly installed," etc.
This seems like a contradiction - it is clear that the computer plug-in-play knows it's there, so why can't I install the drivers? I've done searches for this problem and cannot find a solution anywhere.
By the way, my uninstallation of the old drivers included (i) removal of the card and (ii) uninstallation using CTZAPXX.exe on the CD-ROM.
I'm at a complete loss as to what to do. I guess the question is whether the card has burned up.

"Setup could not detect................

..............any Sound Blaster Audigy 2ZS on your system."?Just installed this card in my Dell 8400. Windows detects new hardware, I cancel out, and run the SB installation disc. It says "setup could not detect blah blah blah". I was runninig with onboard sound before installing the card. I disabled onboard sound in the BIOS, but didn't uninstall the SoundMax drivers. I tried the Search function here, and didn't find anything I thought would help. If windows knows it's there why doesn't SB detect it's I've tried reseating, different slots, etc., same problem every time. HELP!

There is a free Windows tool for checking what's installed on the PCI bus. If the sound card wasn't detected then it needs re-inserted or moved to another PCI slot.

Windows error message "Setup could not read the CD you inserted..."

I partitioned my Macbook HD using bootcamp assistant and allowed 32GB for the partition. Then I tried installing windows using the assistant. I only get as far as verifying the windows CD (not far as which file system to use FAT32 or NTFS). Then I receive the error message, "Setup could not read the CD you inserted, or the CD is not a vaild windows CD." I am using the Windows XP Service Pack 2 version - not an upgrade. Also I tried booting up straight to the CD but that did not help either. Any suggestions?

Please disregard my question. Although my Windows XP Pro documentation and folder did not say upgrade I just looked at the CD for the tenth time and just saw Upgrade printed on the CD. I'm not making excuses but the holographic images make the CD a little hard to read. Sorry for the trouble. I guess I will be going out and buying the full version now.

Windows setup could not read the XP CD

Um little help here asap please?
I ran Bootcamp and partitioned the drive, then I put my XP CD in and started the setup. But before I got to set it up, on the blue screen it says:
"Setup could not read the CD you inserted, or the CD is not a valid Windows CD"
Then it gives me a bunch of possible Windows CDs to insert.
Well I know this is the right CD with Service Pack 2 because I've used it before on my desktop PC.
Now if I exit the setup and try to restart my Mac it goes straight to the setup again and fails to do it again.
What am i doing wrong here? Is it possible this is because I have used the Windows CD on 3 different computers (which is all I'm allowed to install it on)? But then, wouldn't I be told this when I try to type the product key? I haven't gotten to start the installation yet... :/
Someone help please?

But I've followed the howto exactly as it is set out. And it's the academic edition of Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2.
I don't even get as far as the formatting again stage. I get as far as Point #5 of Step 2 which says "Your computer starts up from the Windows installation disc. Follow the onscreen instructions." which I do... When the computer boots from the Windows Disk it does the blue screen stuff and loads a bunch of comp tech at the bottom of the screen. Then I'm presented with a screen that says "Windows XP Professional Setup. Welcome to Setup. This portion of the Setup program prepares Microsoft<R> Windows<R> XP to run on your computer. To setup Windows XP now, press ENTER"
I do that. Then it loads and gives me the Licensing Agreement which I agree to. Then it says Setup cannot find a previous version of Windows installed on this computer and it needs to verify that I'm allowed to use this upgrade product. Please insert one of "bla bla bla". Of course the Windows installation disc is in there so I press Enter like it says to and then...
Setup cannot read the CD you inserted, or the CD is not a valid Windows CD...
I don't actually GET to the stage you mention.
Could this be because this Windows Installation disc has been used on all of the computers it is allowed to be used on?
Sigh.

"Setup did not detect the required components. Setup will exit." !?!?!?

I have a retail Audigy 2. Autoupdate recognizes my card and gives me the available list of drivers and applications for download. I download the following:
) Audigy 2 Drivers
2) Audio Console
3) EAX Console
4) Speaker Settings
5) Surround Mixer
The ) Drivers and the 2) Audio console installs just fine. However, for each of the three remaining programs (3, 4, & 5 listed above) upon executing the downloaded file they all give me a pop-up window that says:
?Setup did not detect the required components. Setup will exit.
This happens with all three of them. I want to install these because I am of the understanding that one of these contains the ?Speaker channel test? (for lack of a better word) that will test if my speakers are hooked up correctly to the right channels. The ) drivers, and 2) Audio console do not have that test. I created another post concerning this but nobody has replied:
http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=soundblaster&message.id=39825
I also tried unzipping the three executable files with WinRAR, and then executing the Setup.exe files but it yields the same results.
Anyone know why I can't install these applications?!?!?!?!

Anyone has any suggestion?
Thanks

Have you tried running the "CTZAPXX.exe" or "Setup.exe" file in the "Drivers" folder in the unzipped files? It should have no problem installing the drivers, unless you have a defecti've card. You may alos need to install the programs by using the setup file in each program's folder.

Trying to provision a device getting mirage could not detect the target device disk

We are trying to deploy Mirage to a LIVA PC. It is only UEFI boot, no legacy boot.. We are using the USB WinPE method. It simply does not see the disk. Any ideas?
Thanks

Hello,
In Mirage We are working only with Fixed Drives, the Storage in the Liva PC is eMMC Storage, we don't support this specific Storage that is in the Liva PC so you will not be able to provision the machine via BMP.
I can offer some troubleshooting steps hopefully you will be able to resolve this issue:
In the LIVA Mini-Pc:
Set the boot mode to use UEFI and not CSM (Compatibility Support Module) in your UEFI firmware settings.
Temporarily disable Secure Boot in your UEFI firmware settings. Some motherboards will not boot from a USB unless you do this first. When the Windows installation is finished, you can enable secure boot if you like.
If you have fast boot or ultra-fast boot enabled in your UEFI firmware (if supported), then you may need to temporarily disable it until Windows has finished installing to be able to boot from a USB flash drive at boot.
When Creating the WinPe Bootable ISO\Wim:
Verify that you added the eMMC Disk Drivers to the WimPE When Creating the Image.
please let me know if this helped you in resolving this issue.
Cheers,
