Audigy 4 Vista Driver install CR

When installing the vista driver released in March, my machine just reboots. I have tried to manually install the driver from the folder, and it does the same. Any help?

I see others mentioning the 8800 with their xfi, I have 768 version of 8800. I wish I could get these drivers in so I can get surround sound back..

Audigy 2 ZS driver install issues wtih Vista Ultimate 64-bit

I am having a really hard time installing these available drivers for the above card and OS listed. I can download the drivers just fine, but when I go to install them I get the "no supported product found" message. I know that windows can see it and my copy of Everest Ultimate sees it as well, but for whatever reason the drivers can't seem to find it anywhere.
Does anyone know a solution?

Nothing huh? Nobody has any idea about this or knows of another thread where this question was answered?
Thanks in advance if you can help out!

Audigy 2 CD driver install prob

This problem struck me as VERY strange, so I decided to ask here, I have an SB Audigy 2 ZS.
Last night all was well. I was listening to music and playing games, and all my drivers and software were working perfectly.
This morning I turn on the PC, and I was having a strange windows problem unrelated to the sound card, which ended up in me having to reinstall Windows.
During the Windows setup program, it kept crashing at one spot, and coming up with a blue screen stop error stating some problem with "ctoss2k.sys". After a short Google search, I found a guy who had the same problem, and found out that it was a file for his sound card. He deleted the file so that the Windows setup could continue. I did the same, and it worked, which fixed my Windows problem.
I now realize my mistake, as this completely broke my sound card and it wouldn't work at all. So I uninstalled the drivers completely and got out my CD, figuring I'll install the CD drivers and then auto update from the creative site. However, the CD says it doesn't recognize that I have a SB sound card, while autoupdate says I do have one and that I don't need any critical updates.
As it is now, I have no sound at all and no drivers, I can't install the ones on the CD and the autoupdater says everything's fine.
Plz help

I have the same problem with boot for xp sp2. (all up?to date)? ctoss2k.sys cause a boot failure.deleted the ctoss2k.sys and computer boots fine. wasnt a problem until I found that one of the SB components didnt work anymore and I tried a software update.component (SB recorder) still didnt work so reloaded original software... then ctoss2k.sys error popped up. so .. back to updating again and hope things will work. Creative ..... ctoss2k.sys is a problem!

Audigy 4 - Vista drivers and software urgently nee

you know... i have this sound card (Audigy 4 - non pro) for over one year now, AND i don`t have a good driver and software for windows vista home premium x64. last driver for this sound card is:
. Creative Sound Blaster Audigy series Vista Driver 2.2.0002 (38.30 MB) 6 Mar 07.
i mean... 6 mar. 07
how long do i have to wait for you, to relase all the software it is on windows xp oh, this audigy 4 was not intended to use with vista, wright and you want everybody to buy that x-fi sound card with another set of problems in windows vista. nice marketing solution. good for you ONLY.
i`m just tired waiting. my card doesn`t work as it should, nor as it worked in windows xp.
i need all that software. all of it, working under vista. PRONTO!
you will provide that software, or you just lost me as a customer, and along with me, alot more.
btw, daniel_k was only helping people, by providing drivers and software YOU couldn`t, or you just didn`t wanted to. stop deleting his posts or links to the drivers made by him.
just stop that abbusi've marketing strategy, by not releasing software for older sound cards, and forcing customers to buy your new products. no, that wouldn`t happend.

Bought new Audigy SE, unable to install new Vista Driv

I just bought and installed a new Audigy SE, immediatelly after turn on the computer via Windows Update download and installed the drivers and that worked fine with playback but the mic sounds in very low, I even tried to manually edit the mic boost registry but still the mic is practically useless. These are the drivers:?[img"]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v385/javiersf/AudigyDrivers.jpg">?Another trouble: At the same time Windows Updated downloaded the Audigy Vista, I downloaded the new Audigy drivers for Vista posted on June 25th, but when I try to install them I receive this error message:[img"]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v385/javiersf/ErrorVistaDrivers.jpg">?I even restored my system just before the windows update driver was downloaded and installed but?still I receive this error. I tried to manually delete the drivers, uninstall the audio card and the restore it, but still I am getting this error and I'd like to take advantage of this driver and software to see if that will fix the problem with the low power mic.

@javiersf; if I were you, I would give back that soundcard back and wait further for some support from Creative. 'cos , there is not a good support for Audigy users, especially for "LS/SE/Value" users; I don't recommend that card to anyone.
BTW, there is not a driver for Mic Boost, since the first Vista driver released. You should find an alternati've way (like using mic from Onboard sound card) or you have to use your mic like it's now.

Audigy 2 ZS Vista Driver not install

Every time I try to install the Vista 32 bit drivers for my Audigy 2 ZS I get this message telling me that its missing layout.bin and that I need to insert disk one. This is driving me nuts and the lack of tech support help is not helping, how do I fix this?!?

I finally found a workaround for this.
For some strange reason the driver files are being deleted before they get installed.
In order to successfully install the driver perform the following:
. Run the driver file and click next until you reach the language selection screen.
Be sure NOT to go past this point.
2. Goto "X:\Windows\Temp\CRF00Y\" and copy all the files in there to a folder on your desktop. (Where "X" is the dri've you installed windows on and "Y" is the last visibile number, for me it was CRF006)
3. Run through setup until you reach the "Cannot find file layout.bin" error and then cancel it.
4. Goto the new folder you created on your desktop and run setup from there.
5. Enjoy partially working sound
Also found this on the install shield Website.
http://consumer.installshield.com/kb.asp?id=Q0892
PS. Although I have the driver installed, here's a small sample of the quality of Audio I'm receiving. http://www.zyned.com/upload/Recording.wma
This was recorded using Sound Recorder in Windows Vista, via "What U Hear" mode with the volume set at 20% to rule out distortion caused by channel overload. At least the name of the recorder was right, it was exactly what I was hearing.
If you want the original it can be downloaded from the Machinae Supremacy website free. It's called Anthem Apocalyptica.Message Edited by Redwing on 04-8-200706:50 PM

Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor Vista Driver - When is this comi

When is the Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor vista driver coming. This is becoming ridiculous...

To add to Cat's message ... some customers are finding solutions (for the video functionality):
I have used the follwoing procedure to install a working configuration of the Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor in a clean install of Vista Ultimate.
() Download from Creative Labs (US) site: http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/ the following files:
(a) Creative Sound Blaster USB Series Windows Vista Driver .00.0060 - USBVS_PCDRV_LB__00_0060.exe (from the Vista section)
(b) VidCap for Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor .00.000 - A2VX_PCVDE_L9__00_000.exe (from the WinXP section)
(2) Use WinZip or WinRAR to open the file (b) and extract the folders \DrvInst and \Vidcap into your Vista Downloads folder.
(3) Connect the Video Editor to the power supply and a video source; connect the USB cable to your PC. Ignore the "Found NEw Hardware" dialog that pops up.
(4) Doubleclick on file (a) to install the Creative Sound Blaster USB Series Windows Vista Driver, and follow prompts as required; accept all defaults. After install is complete, let the PC reboot.
(5) After rebooting, in the "Found New Hardware" dialog that appears, select the options to search for a driver, don't go online to search, browse for a driver and point the search at the \DrvInst folder you extracted in (2) above. The USB video driver will be installed from the \DrvInst\Video\Driver\Win2k.
(6) After the video driver is installed, doubleclick on the Setup.exe file in the \Vidcap folder you extracted in (2) above to install the Vidcap application.
(7) Setup the options in Vidcap, and run a test recording.
Happy capturing under Vista.

SoundBlaster Audigy 2ZS VE Vista Driv

I have a Sound Blaster Audigy 2ZS Video Editor and am running vista business, i have installed the latest creative Drivers and have been waiting for months for creative to release PROPER WORKING FULLY FUNCTIONAL VISTA DRIVERS,? so that this product can work as its meant to work. I have been advised that drivers are being worked on and that they should be released soon. Its been 6-8 months and still no drivers that can deli'ver the functionality i expect in a $600 sound card, when i purhcased this product, there was a vista logo located with this product descrition saying it is supported and is vista ready, quite clearly it is not. I need accurate information on the following questions:?. Is there a creative team in fact working on a fully functional vista driver for this product.2. When will this vista driver be released?3. Will this driver deli'ver a fully functional product?Do not reply to this with some crappy template response as this will infuriate me, please reply with logic as i am a paying customer and have been for many years, i expect respect and i expect the truth from creative on this occassion. Please advise and escalate this matter to the MANAGING DIRECTOR OF CREATIVE, if you cannot then provide me with the correct contact details and i will do it myself.

Vespa,
We do not have plans to support Vista for Video Editor.
However, if you check the discussion on the Forum (primarily in the Video area) you will see that the audio portion can work due to the Vista support for the Audigy 2 ZS line and for the video portion, check the info on how to make it work. It works with Vista 32bit.

Problems with the Vista Driver for Audigy 2

Hello erverybody,
today I installed Vista Ultimate 32bit. With the result that the applications and drivers of my Creative CD don't work. I downloaded the new Vista Driver for my Audigy 2 ZS but I must find out that there are no DTS, EAX and also no CMSS 3D Support integrated is.
I could only choose the option CMSS in the audio console but no CMSS 3D as i have it under windows xp.
My question to Creative, is it planed that these features will be supported with vista in the future or can i take my soundcard to the garbage ?

I have Audigy 2 ZS plat. , I love?this card It sounds best in the world but Creative has failed to satisfy its customers on Windows Vista. A company has to make its customers feel special, I don't think I'm going to buy another Creative product?if this issue is not resolved.

4Gb Nano - Vista JPE install iTunes 7.4.3.1 - USB driver not found

Help! I've tried all the re-installs and re-boots. I have a fully updated Vista HPE running on an AMD6200 with 2Gb memory. iTunes installs but the USB driver fails to install when the iPod is connected to the USB - the install program searches has search my hard disks and cannot find a driver when it searches the web. Anyone got any ideas on how the fix this?

Since making the post yesterday the fix was reasonably straight forward. See discussion 'windows vista wont install ipod drivers' posted by Nigel Savage Sep 19, 2007 7:20AM and reply by Brian.
Solution involves putting copies of latest version of usbstor.inf and usbstor.pnf from C:\windows\system32\driverstore\filerepository\'look for newest version of folder that start usbstor' into C:\windows\inf folder. Then re-install driver for iPod via control panel - administrative tools - computer management - system tools - device manager. With the ipod connected via the usb look for the icons with a yellow flash - it should now install ... it did for me!

SB Audigy 2 ZS Notebook driver install probl

Hello there i just bought a new notebook edition SB Audigy 2 ZS card and im having alot of trouble installing the driver and ap
ps.
When using either the cd it came with or the updated driver install from creative.com about half way through the install my computer crashes. My computer detects the sound card. Ive also tried using the driver update feature and when it starts about 3/4 the way installing from the cd it stops and asks for the directory to the file ha20x2k.sys to continue. Well i've searched the entire cd and only found one file that resembles it and its labeled ha0k2k.sys I dunno what the deal is with that. Im using an Averatec 3300 series notebook running Windows XP pro SP2. Ive searched up and down for some kind of information that can help me but nothing so if anyone has some input that might be of some help it would be greatly appreciated

Better Audigy 2 with vista driver or Asus audio integrated ?

Better Audigy 2 with vista driver or Asus audio integrated % I have two very good motherboard Asus with audio integrated:
P5Q Deluxe

P5K3 Deluxe
ADI AD988B 8-channel High Definition Audio CODEC
- Coaxial / Optical S/PDIF out ports at back I/O
- ASUS Noise Filter
and in both computer i use vista 32 bit....
I ask your advise.....if it's better use soundblaster audigy 2 ZS (8-channel, 7. chan., 24-bit/92kHz stereo and 24-bit/96kHz 5. surround)....or these audio integrated
Thank

Why in the world would a person use 2 soundcards makes no sense to me .Onboard sound is crap i have never liked it ......,boards should come empty no network? card or audio because that crap they use on the motherboard is a crap . I have all that crap on my board disabled because i have a fibre home network . I see no use for copper either the cable companys should all go fibre they don't want the initial cost because they are cheap .Fibre will last alot longer than copper .We arein the year 2009 not the 70's come on .

What makes you think that. OpenAL works just fine on Audigy cards. Playing BF2 in vista sounds just the same as in XP on my A4.

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 :
Providing you've followed the steps above, restart your computer and run Setup.exe. Follow through the prompts until the installation has completed.
Please used register cleaner like tune up Advanced SystemCare iobit.com or crapcleaner

Speaker Calibrator with Latest Vista Driver (1/1

My original Vista driver for my Audigy 2 ZS timed out over the weekend, so I downloaded and installed the new one. Unfortunately, now I only get sound out of one speaker (the front-left one) on my 7. speaker setup. And every time I try to run the speaker calibrator to fix this, I receive the following error message:?Error obtaining Calibrator Interface!? Please install and register CTSCAL.DLL. I haven't been able to find any information related to this error message on Google or in the Creative knowledge base. Does anyone else know what's going on or how to fix it's? I'd really like to be able to hear at least STEREO sound again, and preferably 7.!
Thanks,?--Matthew

I don't think any of the cd's software works with the newer drivers. I think all that works right now is the driver, the new MediaSource Player, and the new cd update for MediaSource. Try uninstalling everything and then just install the driver package and the new MediaSource Player and the cd update for it. You'll get AudioConsole. Unfortunately you'll also find that DVD Dolby Decoding has been removed, as well as the EAX stuff with the exception of the environments for old games that don't use EAX. The MediaSource Player will also only rip and encode to burn in Wave or Windows Media Formats unless you purchase a Creative AudioCodec plugin. A user here who probably had the cd stuff installed found that the new player does do mp3 encoding for free if the older software is on the system. Since that stuff doesn't work on Vista I decided not to install it, or all its stupid background processes that can't be turned off since the software won't open. (Well, we can delete the items from the registry run key I suppose.)?Make sure that when you uninstall the driver in Device Manager you check the box that tells it to remove all related files and software. I would reboot, remove the Multimedia Audio Device that will be in Device Manager after Vista fails to find a driver when it automatically tries. Then restart again and let it fail to install the driver. (Let it automatically try then fail.)? Then install the latest download. Some have had the installer not recognize a Creative SoundBlaster Hardware (a noted problem historically with Creative installers). I think resetting the Device Manager as I suggested might jog the registry so that the Creative installer will work. Cross your fingers. If not, extract the download and run the DriverSetup.exe from the Driver folder, restart twice, then run the Setup (the original download) again. It will then probably uninstall the driver, restart the computer, install the new driver and then AudioConsole. Don't restart right away when that is finished. Let Windows boot up, then restart the computer. Things should work fine after that. I'm using the new driver on a fresh Vista Business install and it sounds great. I need to adjust bass and treble from the Windows controls or the WMP EQ though, as the AdvancedEQ is not there. So, you set up your speaker configuration from Creative AudioConsole, and the rest from the Windows Mixer and playback and recording devices Windows control. Don't run the Windows speaker setup. It just messes things up (don't even open the button). You should get 5. (or whatever you have).
