Audigy 2 & 4 Driver Update Faulty

I had a Creative Audigy 2 ZS Plat. Soundcard.
I recently re-formatted my PC, Installed the drivers from the CD, everything was absolutly fine, then I went onto the Creative Website and used the Auto-Update to update the drivers and software.
When installing the Driver update, it came up with a message saying that the driver could not be stopped, then it asked to restart, which it did, it then proceeded to install the driver, it then asked to restart windows again.
When windows reloaded, there was no sound,?on investigating why, the Sound Blaster was not listed as a soundcard under Sound and Audio Devices.
I looked in device manager and the soundcard was listed as a Multimedia Audio Controller with a yellow exclaimation mark next to it.
I've been able to get the sound card to work again by going onto the Windows Update website, it appeared as an update under hardware.
However when I play a DVD now, my DVD software allows SPDIF playback, it doesn't appear to send anything to my Creative Inspire Digital 5500 speakers, prior to my reformat, they switched to Dolby Digital mode, but now they don't and I get no sound at all.
So I tried downloading the Driver again and installing it, the same thing happened when it installed on my PC, in that it had to restart as it couldn't stop the device.
This time, when it did so, an add new hardware search for drivers window came up, looking for a "PCI Input device" I opted to search for drivers automatically, and it claimed it could not find any drivers, and now I get no sound again.
Luckily the Driver has appeared again in Windows Update, so I will be able to get sound again.
Does anyone know how to get the Driver update to install properly, is anyone else experienceing the same problems as me?

With XP I'm still using 2.8.000, they seem to work fine

  • Audigy 2 ZS, Driver update results in broken driver, no sound.

    > I recently bought a used Audigy 2 ZS which works fine with the drivers from the CD. I don't know how old they are, Creative System Informations says driver version .82.0. That's why i wanted to update them. I had a Li've! before, so i knew how to update the drivers with the auto updater on the creative site. By the way, i did a clean up of the old drivers with Driver Sweeper before installing the new sound card.
    When i do a driver update with the auto updater on the Creative website it downloads and install the newer drivers, but after the mandatory reboot i have no sound, and every Tool crashes, throws an error message or just doesn't work. I lose all my EAX effects and can't select any speakers. The only way to solve that is to uninstall everything and do a clean start with the CD.
    I can update everything via the auto updater, except the drivers.

  • Audigy 2 driver update fresh inst

    Just did a fresh install of Win XP. Now I have two questions:
    () Can I install the drivers and firmware directly from Creative, without using the original installation CD, and, if so, which of the many downloads do I choose? (Audigy2CMS PCAPP LB 3 0. . . .)??
    (2) If it is advisable to use the original CD first, which of the update downloads do I use (if any) for the Audigy 2?
    I find the download update lists leaves me with questions Having had issues slowly develop with the previous install of XP and Audigy, I wish to take advantage of this fresh XP install to install Audigy correctly.
    Thanks, guys.

    Quinnjm,
    It really depends on what you use. If you have a platinum dri've and use the remote then you will want to at least install MediaSource from the CD. Then you will only need to update file to MediaSource.
    The only driver file you will need to install will be the second driver listed:
    Sound Blaster Audigy 2 and Audigy 2 ZS Driver Update[/url]
    This file will install with or without drivers and includes a file called CTPanel.exe that will allow you to configure your card. The file is located in c:\program files\Creative\SB Audigy 2\Program\Common\WDM

  • 10/09/06 driver update for Audigy 2

    Has anyone installed the driver update put out today for Audigy 2 ZS? Any feedback on whether they are worth downloading would be appreciated.

    You can install the file EAX4DRV_AUDIGY2__84_50.exe . Check under Support> Downloads, and fill that in the Search By Filename option. That file can be installed standalone (no previous drivers required).

  • RM 900 remote doesn't work after driver update

    Hi!
    After solving the proble of? "crackle, pops and noise" with a driver update for Audigy Platinum Ex, I see that my remote is no longer working, i've try reinstalling Remote Center from original drivers and applications CD and after a Volume Up or Down the Rear Left Speaker gives me no sound.
    I've seen in others threads in the forum and they say about installing Media Source, but after installing it still doesn't work.
    Any clue how to make it work again?
    Using Windows XP SP3 and Audigy Platinum Ex.
    Thank you again in advance.
    PD: Excuse my poor english, it's not my nati've language.

    Hello Jashue67,
    Sorry to hear about all the trouble with the Apple TV.  It sounds like you have done a restore but need to pair your Apple TV remote at this point.  You can follow these steps to pair the remote:
    Or, you can press and hold the Menu and Next/Fast-forward buttons on the white Apple Remote, or hold the Menu and right buttons on the aluminum Apple Remote, for 6 seconds to pair.
    You can find the full article here:
    Apple TV: Pairing and unpairing the Apple Remote

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • Problems with Driver update =( Any advi

    I recently was advised that I had to update my soundcard drivers in order for an application to run correctly. I was directed to www.creativelabs.com to download the proper drivers. after I downloaded the drivers and launched the update I promptly received a message that says the setup has failed to detect a supported product on my system. I then did a repair install to add any potentially missing information, but when I launched the setup again I received the same message. I have a regular old Audigy Soundblaster that I purchased from Wal-Mart, can anyone offer any advice or assistance?Here's my dxdiag:?------------------

  • Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS - Driver is

    Hello,
    Recently my creative speaker settings and all my THX controls stopped working. I removed all my drivers, then reinstalled the following from the creative website.
    . Creative Sound Blaster Audigy, Audigy 2 series and Audigy 4 series Driver 02.08.0004
    This reinstalled the creative media center as well as the creative audio console, but it did not install the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS folder or application etc, which is what has all the Creative Speaker Settings and THX control and all the other creative options. I tried using the driver installation disc which came with the soundcard, but although it shows the creative settings/ THX control installed, whenever i try to open those applications, I get an error message saying that it cannot open that audio device, install audio drivers. I searched for the right drivers and even did the automatic updater, yet it did not work.
    So basically could anyone help me find the right driver to download so my creative speaker settings, THX console and all those other apllications will work?
    Thanks for your time.

    Even using just the CD drivers, shouldn't the applications still work?
    right now when I try to open creative speaker settings I get the error:
    The Audio device selected by this application is not detected. The application will exit.
    Does that mean anything?

    You can find in main folder just click on it and installed. I highly recommend used Iolo System Mechanic fix reg and defrag there free trial.
    Important :
    Before installing, remove all traces of any previous ?drivers and all driver by removing the driver within "Device Manager". To clean up any excess files left on your system, you should use a 3rd party program to do this job (unless you've a good understanding of the registry) A recommended program to do this is Driver Sweeper - which is freeware, and available from Guru3D"]http://www.guru3d.com/category/driversweeper/]Guru3D - Driver Sweeper[/url] or paid version at hardwareheaven.com driver cleaner.net
    To install the software driver :

    Please used register cleaner like tune up Advanced SystemCare iobit.com or crapcleaner
    What is Pax?
    Formally known as Youpax, Pax was founded by Robert McClelland 6 years ago, who is continuing to provide an alternati've tweaked driver to the Official driver released by Creative.
    Why should I install this Pax alternati've?
    Pax is aimed at improving sound quality and to give a more deeper bass sound, while retaining the clarity of the overall output audio. Most users continue to use Pax drivers once moving over and never look back!

    & What did you especially fix or add? I have surfed all around in gameheaven forums and other places but the only thing you wrote is" better performance, better exelaration etc" . I dont think it is enough , you HAVE TO tell which software modules you added or what you have tweaked.
    If I were you I would take a look at Daniel_k's threads and take them as reference before posting..................

  • Audigy 2 NX Driver Li

    System?I am using a Shuttle Core 2 Duo system with 4 GB of memory (of which 3.25 GB is recognised) running Windows XP Professional. Soundcard?I use an external Audigy 2 NX. Initial Problem?My PC crashed as a result of a driver problem. On reboot the soundcard did not function. All of the lights on blinked together every two or three seconds. When I went to COntrol Panel and looked at the Sound Devices it did not appear in the drop down list. Steps taken?I tried to run a repair installation of the drivers from the original driver CD. The install aborted giving me the following message:
    0x800402?"An event was unable to invoke any of the subscribers" I next tried to uninstall the drivers by selecting them via Control Panel/Add Remove Programs. The removal process began and then stalled at 60% giving the same 0x800402 error. In consequence I cannot uninstall or reinstall the drivers. The card now produces no light when plugged into the mains and a USB port. The on/off button does not appear to be functioning. However, the optical port has its red light,?Help needed?If the soundcard has died I would like to be told and I will replace it. Otherwise (in fact in any event) I would appreciate some help in performing a manual removal of the drivers. Many thanks?Sean

    in 0 times installing sp2 9 times the whole system crash
    i have no time to make experiments because there is no good sp driver for my audigy 2
    the problem is with the original driver the AC3 digital output is not working correctly
    what do you do in the test phase? looking the card:
    "oh how nice card!"
    the driver update is 2MB ?!
    it is an global trend, that the HW producing companies doesnt care about the good drivers, and doesnt care the problems

  • HP Laserjet 1200 and Driver Updates

    On the "Download Drivers and Software" support page for the HP Laserjet 1200 printer, there is an option, "Automatically check to see if your driver needs updating".
    A machine that I am supporting is having a MS Word collating issue (sometimes works, sometimes doesn't) and I don't know if its a driver issue or not.  The machine is XP SP3.
    If I click on this link, obviously it will check the drivers, but:
    1) Will it give me the option to automatically update the drivers if it finds they are outdated, and
    2) How do I roll back to the old driver if the update introduces problems? 
    Since this potential driver update isn't going through the normal MS XP driver update routine in Device Manager, I'm leery that I won't be able to recover if something goes wrong.

    I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial printer. You can do this at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/
    I hope this helps.
