Audigy 2 ZS crashing Sys

Hello!
I'm having massi've problems when using my Audigy 2 ZS (see below for my other hardware). What happens is, that my monitor is getting black for a second, picture comes back for a second, goes black again and so. Some seconds later the PC is no longer responding and I have to reset it. Mostly the operating system is damaged after this and my pc is not able to boot any more. Sometimes even other partitions on the dri've are damaged or gone. Before all this happens the system typically is running for hours or days without any problems. I can play games or listen to music or whatever. And suddenly it happens.
But now I found something that forces this behaviour. When i try to install FEAR (Sierra) the system is crashing for sure with the described symptoms.
When the audigy is not installed the system runs perfect for weeks without any crash. I've tried everything possible (changing PCI-slots, changing PCI-latency, different BIOS-versions, different (chipset-)drivers, RAM-Timings etc.) without any success.
Does anybody know what is going on and what to do? Is my audigy broken and should i send it in for warranty-replacement? What else can I do?
Thanks in advance,
Martin

@John-CL:
I can do what I want, as long as the soundcard is installed the system crashes. Using the onboard audio instead of the audigy solves the problem. Don't see a problem with the memory sticks. Removed one (and then the other) and ran them slower than needed with no change.
As mentioned, the system runs fine without the card. It's also no problem if the card is only plugged in. But as soon as the drivers are installed it's just a matter of time.
There's only one more card installed (3Com NIC), but removed it also for testing reasons.
roblem with my hdd. Used another one for testing reasons with no difference. Even bought new ide-cable.
I know that many people are using this mainboard in combination with the audigy, so it can not be a common problem. The fact, that my system crashes reproducably when trying to install FEAR confuses me a little. Makes me think, it could be a software problem. But i have nothing special and no one else seems to have my problems. Maybe i simply send my card in for replacement and hope the best. Just don't know what else I could do...
Thanks for your answers so far

Audigy 2 Freezes sys

Since I reinstalled my entire system, I've been having problems with the front panel of my Audigy2 platinum card. While installing drivers, the whole system just freezed, so I tried formatting my HDD (2 times). Nothing happened. I remind you that the problem occured while I was installing audigy 2 drivers (I tried both new and old ones). Eventually, I disconnected the front panel and the problem dissapeared, but I DO WANT to use the front panel, after all, that's one of the reasons I paid 4 the freakin' card a lot more.
I have Fujitsu Siemens scaleo 800:

Suggestions.... ?

How did you contact Customer Support? By e-mail or phone? If you're referring to not getting a customer-support-response on this forum I'll have to direct you to the red announcement that is at the top of every board. This is not a support forum.
Regarding your problem, what kind of power supply is in your system? Did you try disconnecting your floppy (if you have one) and using that power connection to connect to the dri've?

SoundBlaster Audigy driver crashing Adobe Flash

I just recently upgraded my computer to Windows 7. Everything else works great, except Flash. I go to any Flash related site, it crashes the web browser. I've tried Internet Explorer and Firefox and they both crash. When I disable the sound card and go to those same sites, they work without crashing, albeit with no sound. These are the drivers that Windows 7 installed automatically. I also tried the ones on the Creative website for Windows 7, same thing. Please help, I don't want to have to downgrade back to XP.

Audigy 2 Crashi

Hey all.
I have a pretty old version of the A2 card, and I've been looking around for a solution for days.
Right now, it's the oldest component in my PC; somewhere around 3 or 4 years old.
Sound Blaster Audigy 2, DR release 2.8.4
The problem:
When I first installed everything after I formatted(Console, Surround Mixer, Sound Bank, etc) I was able to set it to 5. easily, no problems whatsoever. The problem arose when I restarted. I usually don't restart my system for days at a time, since I don't really find it necessary. Initially, it came from all 5 speakers: front, rear and center. After the reboot, I noticed it came from the front only. I assumed it had just reset the settings, so I opened up the Console and tried to change it back to 5. via the dropdown menu. As soon as I clicked on ANYTHING else besides the 2. default, I got the BSOD.
I have been reinstalling everything for almost 2 weeks now, and I'm at the end of my rope, so to speak.
A friend just suggested to pick up the new X-Fi, as my card is so horrendously old that it's a problem unto itself. But I would rather try to solve this first without spending $200.
Any ideas?

Also, before anyone points it out: I can no longer install the Audigy sound drivers, it shows up as a Multimedia Sound Controller, and never changes. Before, It would BSOD when I tried to uninstall the original Audigy drivers.
I don't want to have to reformat again T_T

What exactly does "system temperature" mean in bios?

Hi.
I have a Ne0 FIS2R PCB 1 with frequent game crashes & i recently installed asetek´s watercooling kit wich is cooling the cpu & Northbridge.
The bios says the CPU is 34 Degrees Celsius which is perfectly fine.
But the system temperature says 52 Degrees.
Is system temperature the air temperature inside the case? The manual doesn´t say.

Smart Playlists' Music Analyzer takes a

I've had various versions of MediaSource for about fi've years, but I've just recently tried using the smart playlist functions.
I ran the once-off music analyzer tool for volume and tempo on my collection of ~8000 mp3/wma files. This took a lot longer than I had bargained for. My PC is from late 200 but it's not ridiculously slow. IT TOOK 3.5 DAYS. It's a P4 .66GHz with 52Mb RAM running XP SP2. I had stopped all unnecessary processes for this, and even removed my wallpaper to save RAM (although I don't think RAM is the issue as the analyzer seems to only process one file at a time).
Is this normal?

Issues found in CT miniport driv

Audigy2 ZS (ctaud2k.sys):
If the kernel streaming interface is opened for standard streaming and the output pin is created with a WAVEFORMAT_EXTENSIBLE dwChannelMask member of "0", the driver would instanciate the pin, but the pin would not complete a state transition from KSSTATE_STOP to KSSTATE_RUN (or KSSTATE_PAUSE for that matter). This causes an application hang.
Audigy LS (P7.sys) and MP3+ (sbusb.sys), possibly others:
If the kernel streaming interface is opened for standard streaming and the input pin is created with a WAVEFORMAT_EXTENSIBLE dwChannelMask member of "0", the driver would instanciate the pin and allow subsequent state transitions, it would, however, never signal completion of the first IOCTL_KS_READSTREAM request, therefore causing the application to hang.
You may want to forward this to the developers so this can be fixed.Message Edited by wuschel on 03-9-2005 09:0 PM

It would apppear that OpenSWAN is at fault. These configuration values work on router to router but not Router to OpenSWAN.

I am finally free of creative products under vi

I bought a new pc, and I opted to use integrated sound in vista. I have waited for a big chunk of time for a decent driver for audigy 2 and it never came. Creative you have lost a customer for life. Your lame audigy purchasing program is lame. I bought audigy vista crashed due to your craptacular driver. I had to download it again, and I pm catherine the mod here and never heard back about how to download it legally again. So I bought it yet again. Well vista crashed again after the driver. I kept kept getting errors.
Your audio quality in vista is absolutely terrible. So creative I am finally free from you.

Catherina-CL
If he contacted customer support, he would get the "since your product is purchased for over year ago, we don't offer direct support, please use the download site and forums" reply.
Maybe Creative should consider working a bit on the support part of the business.
Keep in mind, that many of to days X-Fi users have been upgrading with Creative Soundcards since the first Soundblaster release.
Those people are Creatives biggest advertisers.
If you start loosing them... who is going to tell others that Creative Soundcards are better then others?
Remember the power of mouth to mouth.

Audigy 2 Value, hap17v2k.sys, and the B

Hello. I would like to state that if this is not the place for this question please feel free to remove it, I just figured this would be the first forum I tried for this question.
So here it is: I own a SB Audigy 2 card, and I'm trying to play this game: http://agtp.romhack.net/doukutsu.html - only when I load it, it causes my computer to crash.
Now for the long version:
I used to have an SB Audigy Gamer sound card, until I moved it into another computer and upgraded to this SB Audigy 2 Value card. I've played this game (which was built on DirectX 5, btw) with the old card and had no problems at all - though that was before I reformatted, so other settings and files may have changed. I can play other games fine - Final Fantasy 7 (uses DirectX 7), and even the newest stuff (Half-Life 2 - uses DirectX 9). This is the only game which does it.
Exactly what happens is this; when the game first loads, there is no sound (the way the game is designed). Once the title screen comes up, where there is sound, a second or two later my computer crashes with the following error, and an annoying clicking or screeching sound loop playing over the speakers (as you would normally hear if sound was playing when the computer crashes);
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
Stop: 0x000000D (0x0000000, 0x00000007, 0x00000000, 0xB7C89B)
hap7v2k.sys - Address B7C89B base at B7C6A000, Datestamp 4095DD7F
Well that's some of it anyway. I'm fairly certain it's due to the sound card because (a) in the properties for that .sys file it has Creative as the manufacturer, and (b), the game comes with a seperate program for listening to the music files - running this program is fine, but as soon as you try to listen to the music - it crashes... same error.
Here's what I've done so far:
- Re-downloaded and reinstalled the game
- Uninstalled and reinstalled the sound card
- Uninstalled all PCI cards except for the sound card, and reinstalled the sound card
- Verified that Windows, all my drivers, and BIOS are up to date (including the audigy drivers)
- Verified that the sound card is not sharing an IRQ, or any other types of resources
- Tried the game with various Windows XP compatibility settings (Win95, etc.), reinstalled DirectX, messed with the sound card's hardware acceleration (all the way off and all the way on).
I think that covers it all - also I do have an open discussion with Creative's support, trying something new every day now but I'm hoping someone here can help even a little bit.
I've run all the dxdiag tests and they've all passed, but here is the output if it's any help; http://www.eaglemaint.com/link/DxDiag.txt
Lastly, my system specs at a glance:
Asus A7M266-D motherboard, Socket A chipset
Two .53 GHz AMD MP 800+ processors
256 MB nVidia GeForce 6800 GT
.5 GB PC200 DDR
250GB and 30GB HDDs
Two 52x CD-RWs
4-port Asus USB PCI card
3 Linksys 0/00 Ethernet PCI cards
550 Watt Antec PSU
I think that's all the important stuff. I've done searches here in these forums, on google (only a handful of sites even mention that .sys file, so I can't find any information on it), and in creative and microsoft's support websites. If you have any ideas at all on what might be wrong or what I could try to fix it, please let me know. My AIM name is "The Eagle Maint" if you'd prefer that, or my email is [email protected].
Thanks ahead of time for any help anyone may be able to give, and let me know if there is anything else I can provide... I'm sure I'm missing something.

I'm not sure if the drivers are compatible between the two cards.
Recently when I uninstalled the audigy 2 and put in my old audigy card, I didn't remove the drivers first - upon restarting, the computer recognized my audigy with the audigy 2's drivers. It seemed to work ok, but I installed the normal audigy drivers anyway.
The catch is, well - the reason I really contacted support in the first place - when I had my audigy 2 card installed (with the audigy 2 drivers from the CD) I couldn't install the driver updates for my audigy 2 from the creative website. Basically, the online auto-update feature wasn't working, and when I manually downloaded the programs and ran them, they said that I didn't have an audigy 2 card installed. I got that resolved with support after they suggested that I download the audigy 2 'value' drivers - I had been trying to get the regular audigy 2 drivers (not value) before that... so basically, I think the audigy 2 can only take the drivers that I have installed now.
I suppose it is just some kind of incompatability, it just kind of baffles me because it used to work fine on my old audigy, and you said you've tried it with your audigy 2 and have no problem... computers can be such a pain.
Anyway, thanks for the help, I guess I should just be thankful everything else works ok.Message Edited by The_Eagle_Maint on 07-05-2005 04:25 AM

Windows 8 Pro (64 Bit) error/crash: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (tcpip.sys)

Hi,
I bought a new computer with Windows 8 Pro (64 Bit) in February/March 2013 and it has crashed almost every day I've had it (it crashes at least every two days). Despite constantly sending the details of the crash through to Microsoft it doesn't seems
to have been addressed. The error message that pops up every time is the same. It is on a blue screen and says:
"Your computer has encountered an error and needs to restart :(
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (tcpip.sys)"
Can someone please explain what I need to do to fix this? I am not a tech head so some step by step instructions would be great. Can i (re)install new drivers etc or is this a common fault of Windows 8? This is driving me crazy. It
certainly doesn't make me feel like I have a new computer that's for sure!
I just read one post that suggested someone's fault ma be because of antivirus software AVG Internet Security 2013 (which I have). How can I find out iof this is the case? And if this software doesn't work with Windows 8 does anyone know
what is the best to use with Windows 8?
Any help would be massively appreciated.
Cheers,
rdtro1

Flash player crashes my win 7 64 sys - I don't want flash, get rid of it...

I have a new win 7 64bit system on a AMD Asus 880G box. It freezes once or twice a day, with Side-By-Side, AIR related errors. EVERY TIME I restart after a freeze/crash, it starts with a Adobe Flash Update nag screen at startup (every single time!) Event logs ALWAYS show SBS AIR related errors.
I've been a Photoshop user since PS4, and have updated all the way to CS5. I use/need, that is, I need PS. I don't want Flash, I don't want AIR, or Device Central or Adobe Updater or any other crap.
I had a stabile sys, after installing CS5, when I uninstalled every thing Adobe that wasn't PS or Bridge. Then the sys was reliable. But I couldn't open a PDF; no Adobe Reader!?! So after installing Adobe Reader from the PS CS5 disk, I'm back to square one, and Flash up-dater and crashes.
I won't say that I hate Adobe people, but I would like to find a way to have PS CS5 and some new current version of a PDF Reader, and nothing else; no auto-crash Flash up-dater crap, no AIR, no other crap.
Is this possable; any help would be very much appreciated, thank you, Jim

Thank you very much for the reply.
I didn't know that Flash is a necessary component of Photoshop CS.
I'll try to be more specific about the problem that I have, I'm sorry I wasn't more clear in my first posts. (This is more frustrating than you can probably imagine.)
I can uninstall everything that is shown as Adobe, except PS and Bridge, that is, I've uninstalled everything Adobe that's not PS and bridge, and then have had an installation that shows only PS and Bridge in 'programs' and the 'Control Panel'. That configuration seems to be stable and reliable, run for about a week with no problems (I didn't know that Flash is still installed, but I'm not having problems.) But then there is no PDF reader installed (no Acrobat Reader).
I've then down loaded and installed the latest Acrobat Reader, and I back to having the Flash Updater problems/crashes. And I get Adobe Updater popup screens, prompting updates (?). And I also get the Windows security warning popups, "Adobe website wants to down load programs to your computer".
I make my living with photography (and Photoshop). I'm trying to have a computer with PS and Bridge and some useful PDF reader, BUT no automatic updates or down loads.
Again, I don't know for sure that this is the cause of the problem, but with 20-30 crashes, the only error reports consistant are the SXS AIR. And on every restart the Flash Updater popup is on screen at start-up. When I start-up any other time, from a normal or good shut down, the Flash Updater popup screen has never been up on start-up.
Is it possable to get new Acrobat Reader installed and be able to disable or uninstall all of the automatic communication and update stuff?
thank you
PS, Photoshop installed is CS5 (64 bit)
PPS, not sure now about eidnolb's post, not sure that Flash is part of and necessary to PS (??)

I am getting the exact same problem. Just downloaded the "Creative Sound Blaster Audigy unified series Beta driver with OpenAL support 2.08.0002" for my soundcard which is an Audigy 2 OEM (Model No. SB0240).
I am using WIndows Media Center Edition 2005, but when I try to install the beta drivers, I get the following error message:
"Setup is unable to detect a supported product on your system. Please ensure that your product is properly installed before running this setup program

My Device Manager shows Creative SB Audigy 2 (WDM) with driver version as follows:

I am currently hearing sound fine (so the soundcard is installed correctly), but the sound keeps cutting out from games that use OpenAL.
Anyone else getting this problem? How did you fix it's

Windows 7: Crash at classpnp.sys on safe mode, freezes on windows logo on normal boot

I have tried booting using the Windows install disk to access Windows repair, but it seems to crash halfway through loading aswell. Windows was only installed on this PC a week or two ago.

Upon starting again the internet browser (google chrome, and internet explorer) slowed down to an abysmal rate. I tried running antivirus, which came up with no results. Then a spyware and malware search, no results. Finally I reached for the control panel,
but was unable to select anything (mouse click didnt do anything other than highlight icons). Upon restart the system froze at startup screen and at classpnp.sys on safe mode.
I have also tried changing the sata/ide in bios, as recommended on another forum, tried a different GPU, tried removing all but one of the memory sticks, clearing the CMOS cache and booting from windows CD (it is an external CD drive connected via USB, same
one I used to install Windows).
Any other recommendations on how to procede?

Hi,
It seems that Classpnp.sys file is corrupt, which can be caused by improper system shutdown. I think the easiest way is to make a repair install with a Windows installation media disc.
