Audigy 2 zs keeps removing audio driver leaving me with no so

I have had Audigy 2zs for 4 months trouble free then one day I had no sound. I found it had removed my original audio driver.After several destructi've recoveries it removes the driver within or 2 restarts leaving me with no sound and no audio driver. I have removed the soundcard for now until I can come up with a solution.Any suggestions?

Im not sure! But do you use any registry cleaning programs like RegCleaner and such? Sometimes they go and delete reg entries that they shouldnt!? Or maybe virus?

  • Keeps losing audio driver

    I have the toshiba satellite M305D-S4830.  I went to download the audio driver located on the website but it didn't work.  I called toshiba support and they told me to do a system restore and it worked.  2 days later the audio driver was gone again. I feel like I shouldn't have to do a system restore everytime this problem happens.  Can someone help me with another thing to possibly do??
    Also if it help I have Vista 64x

  • Embedded YouTube video's keep playing audio after leaving page

    Hi guys,
    My problem is that when I leave the page of my website playing a YouTube video, it just keeps on playing the audio. I will put a copy of my code in this message, maybe I just need to tweek it a little.
    Somebody please help, this is very important for my website, thanks.
    So here is the code I use:
    Security.allowDomain("www.youtube.com");
    var player:Object;
    var loader:Loader = new Loader();
    loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, onLoaderInit);
    loader.load(new URLRequest("http://www.youtube.com/v/h814ob7nCxo?version=3"));
    function onLoaderInit(event:Event):void {
        addChild(loader);
        loader.content.addEventListener("onReady", onPlayerReady);
        loader.content.addEventListener("onError", onPlayerError);
        loader.content.addEventListener("onStateChange", onPlayerStateChange);
        loader.content.addEventListener("onPlaybackQualityChange",
            onVideoPlaybackQualityChange);
    function onPlayerReady(event:Event):void {
        trace("player ready:", Object(event).data);
        player = loader.content;
        player.setSize(480, 360);
    function onPlayerError(event:Event):void {
        trace("player error:", Object(event).data);
    function onPlayerStateChange(event:Event):void {
        trace("player state:", Object(event).data);
    function onVideoPlaybackQualityChange(event:Event):void {
        trace("video quality:", Object(event).data);

    You added a couple of spaces to the Youtube code.
    Change:
    & border=1
    to:
    &border=1
    in two places so that it matches the code from the Youtube embed code. Or copy the code from Youtube again. The result:
    <td width="45%" align="left"><object width="305" height="214"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/4_hzyUKzRII&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/4_hzyUKzRII&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="305" height="214"></embed></object></td>
    It works in my test.

  • Anybody's Audio Driver has problem with PhotoShop CS 5?

    I hate when this happened. I have downloaded the lastest version of Nvidia Quardo 2000m driver, which is 285.62. And I have also update the BIOS to 1.33. They did not work at all. However, I did not have this problem about 2 days ago.  I had exactly same Nvidia driver at the time, only the BIOS was different which was 1.27. This morning I restored the machine back to last sunday. (which is the time everything was supposed to be okay)However, I still got this problem when I opened my PhotoShop. Then, I undo the restore back to yesterday. I assume that ThinkPad W520 series is good for graphic designing or anything like this. How come I always have this problem?
    Thanks.

    I have been using the NVIDIA driver 285.62 (plus BIOS 1.33) with Photoshop 5.5 (64bit) with no issues. I don't think that the NVIDIA drivers are the problem here.

  • How can I just use a generic Realtek audio driver without "Beats Audio" interfering!?

    Beats audio is terrible! I just want to have a flat EQ with no stupid sound effects enabled. The only way I've been able to do this so far, is to uninstall the audio driver, and just use the generic windows one instead. But what I would like to do is use a generic Realtek audio driver, and completely remove Beats Audio from my computer.
    After uninstalling the audio driver that comes with my laptop, I tried getting a standard Realtek driver from their website. But when I install that, Beats Audio reappears! This is so frustrating! How can I uninstall Beats Audio? I want it gone forever! I can see from searching these forums that this is a common problem. But none of the solutions have shown how to just use a standard Realtek driver without this Beats Audio rubbish.
    Can anyone tell me how this is possible? I'll stick to the generic windows driver if I have to. But it would be nice if I could just use the Realtek drivers as they were meant to be.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the reply. But you've misunderstood the question. I know how to uninstall the sound driver and just use a generic Windows one instead. But what I'm actually looking to do, is install the Realtek audio driver without Beats Audio. Thanks.

  • Envy 17-3070NR Linux Audio Driver

    Hi,  What audio chipset is being used in the Envy 17-3070NR?  Is there a Linux driver for the audio hardware device(s)?  I am able to boot Ubuntu and several other recent linux distro's but none of them seem to have an integral audio driver that works with the audio chipset in this laptop.  So what device is it and/or where might I find a linux driver?

    FWIW I just got my envy 17t-3000 audio to work.
    It turns out I have 3 audio devices (hdmi, analog-internal, and a usb)  Things get wonky with all 3 loaded and as I'm not using the wirelss audio device I've put snd_usb_audio into my /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf file and Now I can get the internal speakers to work. 
    Note: I still had to fiddle with the audio manager to get it working.  but its working ok now. (ubuntu 11.04 + linux 3.2.3 vanilla kernel)

  • Removing Core Audio driver

    I've recently tried to install the digidesign Mbox to run with garageband, but had no luck. I installed the appropriate Core Audio driver with no problem, but now I can't get it off of my system. I've ran the unistall that came with the download but it still is showing up in my activity monitor as "coreaudiod" and is slightly slowing down my machine. Any thoughts on how to completely remove this driver from my system? Thanks!

    What you see in Activity Monitor is the audio driver of the OS.
    You might quit it. It will automatically restart if any application that has sound implemented is active.
    I've done so when system sounds behave unnormal.

  • How do I remove the video and keep the audio in iMovie?

    How do I keep the audio and delete the video? I've seen several answers saying to go to "advanced" but I don't see where that is. I went to preferences and checked show advanced setings but I still can't figure it out. Please help! (: By the way I'm on a MAc computer.

    I've met the problem too before. but i solved it with  Audio Converter Mac instead of iMovie. If you have similar situation that just want to keep audio but not video, and if your file format is not workable in iMovie, you can use the Audio Converter for help too. it can easily help to extract audio soundtrack from any video format. Or if you need to convert one audio format to another, it is a good choice too, because it supports many common audio output formats.

  • Moving my itunes library to a removable hard drive.

    I have moved my itunes library to a removable hard drive.  Every time I try to trash my old itunes file and access the removable HD, I cant find it from iTunes.  the only thing I can get it to do is to reload (duplicate) the entire 30gb library on the HD I want it off of.  Now I have 2 duplicate versions of my library, but still can't get it to keep the files on the HD.  Can someone help?
    Mark

    Hey Mark -
    I think it's helpful to understand how this whole process works, and along the way, maybe we'll find where things went wrong for your situation.
    iTunes can take as much or as little control of your library as you like, and different settings may be turned on or off for you as it's not always standardized.
    If you'd like your entire iTunes Library to be transferred to one centralized, organized location (wherever - a local directory or an external drive, whatever you like), here's what you need to do (and if it's not too late, here's what you need to go "back" and do to make this transition smoother).
    - Open iTunes with the default library (where you had it).
    - Select iTunes, Preferences, Advanced, and ensure that "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" and "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library" are both checked. This ensures that your music files are actually going TO the iTunes folder (and not, for example, just being referenced in a downloads folder which you'll probably move or delete later, breaking all those links) and that iTunes will sort your media by Artist\Album\Track Number Song.xxx instead of just moving the file as-is to a different spot.
    - Select File, Library, Organize Library and check "Consolidate files" and "Reorganize files in the folder 'iTunes Media'". These two marks take anything up-to-this-point and consolidates them into the one location, then uses its sorting structure to file it all away.
    Then, Mark, I think it's appropriate to exit iTunes, take that entire library folder (YourUsername\Music\iTunes\) and put it wherever you'd like it to go. To tell iTunes where your new library is, hold the Option key and click on the iTunes application, then "Choose Library" and reference your new location.
    I think it's important to follow the preliminary steps first. I've run into instances with customers where they've moved their Library file, referenced it by Choosing the new Library, and then thought everything was fine, only to find two weeks later when they try to play an audio file that the file isn't found - and this happens because the user moved the library FILE but didn't have a consolidated library TO move - the files were spread out all over the computer.
    I hope that's helpful to you. I know it may be too late to "undo" yourself back to the beginning and do those organizational steps, but it's at least useful to know the process and how it might help you in the future.
    Best of luck.

    I have installed BOOM, but i think that's the only extra sound software i have.]
    PLEASE HELP!
    thanks,
    mojoman22

    Please read this whole message carefully, especially the warnings, before doing anything.
    1. The changes to your configuration suggested here should be considered provisional; they may not solve your problem, or they may remove functionality that you find useful. If a third-party system modification that you want to keep is causing the problem, seek help from its developer.
    2. WARNING: Back up all data now if you haven’t already done so. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to its present state, even if it becomes unbootable. If you’re not sure you can do that, STOP — DON’T CHANGE ANYTHING. If you’re dissatisfied with the results of the procedure suggested below, restore from your backup. I will not be responsible for the consequences, and I will not be able to help, if you ignore this warning.
    3. You should either remove or update the following system modification(s), if an update is available from the developer:
    Parallels
    and definitely remove at least the following:
    Boom
    † MacKeeper
    † VirusBarrier
    4. Whatever you remove must be removed completely, and (unless otherwise specified in this message) the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the third-party developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job. I can't be more specific, because I don't install such things myself. Please do your own research.
    Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickYourMac.” First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickyourmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, email the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickYourMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickYourMac.” If not, open “BrickYourMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
    Again, please don't ask me to do this research for you. You can do it better than I can, because I haven't installed the product and I may not even know what it is.
    If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    WARNING: Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" that purport to remove software.
    5. I recommend that you never reinstall the modifications marked with a dagger (†) above, if any. If your problem is resolved after uninstalling all the above modifications and rebooting, but you still want to use some of those not marked with a dagger, you can experiment with putting them back, one at a time, testing carefully after each step. Keep in mind that system modifications may be incompatible with each other or with future OS X updates, so it may not be clear which one is at fault.
    6. If you still have problems after making the suggested changes and rebooting, post again. Remember: if you don’t like the results of this procedure, you can undo it by restoring from the last backup you made before you started.
    Remove the "MacKeeper" crapware as follows.
    Note: These instructions apply to the version of the product that I downloaded and tested in early 2012. I can't be sure that they apply to other versions, nor do I intend to repeat the test.
    IMPORTANT: "MacKeeper" has what the developer calls an “encryption” feature. In my tests, I didn't try to verify what this feature really does. If you used it to “encrypt” any of your files, “decrypt” them before you uninstall, or (preferably) restore the files from backups made before they were “encrypted.” As the developer is not trustworthy, you should assume that the "decrypted" files are corrupt unless proven otherwise.
    In the Finder, select Go ▹ Applications from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A. The "MacKeeper" application is in the folder that opens. Quit it if it's running, then drag it to the Trash. A dialog will pop up asking why you want to uninstall it. You don't have to provide that information. Enter anything you like in the text box, then click the Uninstall button. All the functional components of the software will be deleted. That's the only useful feature of "MacKeeper:" it deletes itself. Reboot.
    Do not try to uninstall by dragging the MacKeeper icon in the Dock or the LaunchPad to the Trash.
    Here are some general suggestions. If you want your computer to be usable, don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” “extenders,” “cleaners,” “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, this kind of material is useless, or worse than useless.
    The more actively promoted the product, the more likely it is to be garbage. The most extreme example is the “MacKeeper” scam.
    The only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for — such as creating, communicating, and playing — and does not modify the way other software works. Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it.

  • Error message occurs when I try to install Realtek HD Audio driver on Satellite M70

    Microsoft Bus Driver should be loaded in your system before installing Realtek HD Audio Driver
    This is the error message that I got when I tried to install the original Realtek drivers! Removed/installed the new WXP media center 2005, everything was fine but the modem and the sound, for the modem no problem but for the sound...(sight) I even downloaded new drivers on the internet and THEY WORKED!
    But when I try next time to open my computer I get all the time a blue screen then it shuts down? What is wrong? I got everything original and I followed the step. What should I do?
    By the way I got an Satellite M70 - 168 laptop.

    Hi
    Someone get this similar error message on his notebook OSs and according to the information the Microsoft patch should helps to sort it out.
    Found this useful knowledge base article:
    http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;835221
    This document advice to install the KB835221 patch but that is only officially available by talking to Microsoft technical support!
    But dont worry buddy. The Google search engine is the key!
    Try to search for this KB835221 patch and Im sure you will find the right one!
    The required UAA drivers in the Microsoft documents are not included with XP SP2 or SP1, so it's a useful QFE to have around if you want to use newer sound cards like the Realtek HD Audio.
    PS: If the Q835221 didn't help then you can also try the updated driver from Microsoft Q888111 article, which has 4 versions depending on your OS and installed service pack.
    Good luck!

    I got all drivers up to date including the BIOS, everything is working fine (the sound works, microphone works...) but this error is kind of annoying to my eyes so if anyone know how to fix it please help.
    I tried to uninstall this and let windows update install it again => not worked, same problem.
    I tried to re-install the Realtek driver (uninstall - restart machine - install - restart machine) => same problem
    And another probelm which has not been solved yet is the Bluetooth icon keep blinking on battery mode (windows 7), you can see more in this thread

    What kind of reinmstall did you perform?  If you used the recovery media, then this will be pretty simple. Boot to the recovewry media again and this time select the Reinstall drivers and applications option. Find the audio driver on the list of available drivers, put a tick in the box to its left and then click on the install button in the lower right hand corner of the window. The driver will be installed.  Your list will be different than the following one, but this is only an example.
