Audigy and vista build 5

hello,
i have a Audigy sound card and using Vista build 5308.
i was wondering if there is any solution for the BSOD that appears when restarting/shutdown the pc. am i the only one with this error ? i realise these drivers were released for beta but still...
also, 5. sound is not working. after setting from control panel to 5. sound, only the front, center speakers and the subwoofer works.
when setting 5. speakers, wmp crashes too.
thanks,
OJi.

Hello Deadly,?Go and get ALchemy and install it. then go into the program folder (of ALchemy) and copy the dsound.dll and dsound.ini to your Executable folder. Which should be something like C:/Program Files/Steam/Steamapps/(account name)/hl2.
Then modify the INI file and put the duratino to 5 and that should fix your problem.
Tried it on my CSS (not in game but rather the TEST YOUR SPEAKER button) and everything is back to normal after this.
Hope this helps

    Is there a known issue for this
    Yes it is called trying to install the wrong driver for your card. Will work much better if you try installing the correct one,
    SBAX_PCDRV_LB_2_8_000.exe
    Also helps if you click on the "Show Details" link on the download page, then you would see that the one you tried to install doesn't support your card,
    Requirements:
    Microsoft Windows Vista 64-bit, Windows Vista 32-bit, Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, Windows XP Service Pack 2, Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 or Windows XP Media Center Edition 2004
    Sound Blaster Audigy Value/SE/LS, or Sound Blaster Li've! 24-bit audio devices
    whereas the correct driver shows the following,
    This download supports the following audio devices only:
    Creative Sound Blaster Audigy including Platinum and Platinum eX series

  • 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.

  • Nokia PCS 6.84, IVT Bluesoleil 2.6.0.8 and VISTA

    Hi Folks,
    hoping you can help here please. I have just purchased a new VISTA Compatible Dongle and when installed PC Suite will not work over bluetooth. The connection manager shows "Bluetooth (IVT Blue Soleil)" but, when selected gives the message "Cannot use the connection type". Software details as follows:
    Operating system:
    Microsoft Windows Vista
    Build 6000
    No service pack installed
    Language: English
    Language for non-Unicode programs: English
    Locale: English

    PC Connectivity Solution:
    Version 7.22.7.1

    Build 16386
    IVT Bluetooth stack
    Version 2.6.0.8 Release 070517
    Build 16386
    Many Thanks,
    Matt

    Ah no I typed too soon. Although Microsoft Bluetooth Stack works fine with Nokia PC Suite, and it appears that this is the only bluetooth stack which Nokia support on VISTA, there is a cruel twist of fate:
    Microsoft Bluetooth Stack does not support the handsfree and headset profiles so now my Bluetooth headsets will not work. Ironically, these work great on VISTA Stacks. So it appears that, until Nokia come to the party with support for Bluesoleil on Vista OR Microsoft come to the party with support for Handsfree and Headset profiles on their Vista Stack that its a choice for me of:
    [1] Nokia Phone over Microsoft Bluetooth Stack
    OR
    [2] Bluetooth Headsets over Bluesoleil Bluetooth Stack
    Should I moan to Microsoft or should I moan to Nokia seems to be the only decision I can make at this point in time.

  • ITunes and Vista RTM

    Ever since I installed ITunes 7.02, I have been unable to sync my iPods with any of my Vista PCs. On different machines I was running RC1, RC2, and even build 5780 which was post RC2. Today I installed the final release version and still can't get the PCs to talk to my iPods correctly. Either iTunes does not see them at all (Windows does) OR if they are visible in iTunes you get all kinds of random errors when trying to sync.
    Are others having this problem? Are there any known workarounds? I tried Vista compatibility mode but it did not work either. Vista has been around long enough you would think Apple would have this working by now.
    Other OS
      Other OS  

    For what it is worth, I second that;
    Vista's "final release" does NOT work with 7.02...
    In fact it will reboot your machine randomly without warning and Vista will not "catch" the problem...(no blue screen etc - just instant reboot/bios screen).

  • When are Audigy 2 Vista drivers comi

    What is the problem with Creative and Vista?
    Why can't U make some proper drivers?
    The driversupport Creative is giving to their users is dramatic! An X-Fi of Audigy 2 lost all its EAX features in Vista!!! Vista is out for a half year now, and I still have to work with BETA drivers which is giving weird positioning bugs in games!
    Whats the problem
    I paid for the card so I really need some driver support!

  • Windows XP Pro (32-bit) and Vista Ultimate (64-bit) on the same Mac Pro HD?

    Has anyone been able to install both Windows XP Pro (32-bit) and Windows Vista Ultimate (64-bit) on the same dedicated Windows hard drive? I have four HD in my Mac Pro, and one of them is dedicated for Windows (and bootable via Boot Camp). I found the following technical articles about installing Windows XP & Vista on the same hard drive (using two separate partitions) using a VMWare machine as the test system:
    http://apcmag.com/howto_dual_boot_vista_and_xp_with_vista_installed_first__the_stepbystepguide.htm

    Has anyone successfully installed Windows XP (32-bit) and Vista 64-bit) on the same NTFS partition?
    I already have Windows XP Pro (32-bit) SP3 installed on my single NTFS hard drive. I am looking for the best way to add the Vista 64-bit installation on the same hard drive.
    Any thoughts and advise are appreciated.

    Windows has its own list of boot OSs, and default, from msconfig. It will sit and wait for xx-seconds on startup in Windows if you want to boot from an alternate.
    As to whether Apple's OS Switcher (aka startup disk bootcamp control panel or tray icon) sees both, I had Windows Home Premium and Ultimate 64, and pretty sure OS X saw both. That was pre-Leopard and before there were 64-bit Apple drivers.
    I can't think of any scenerio of wanting to mix 32-bit and 64-bit on the same paritition, you realize you can't install the one over the other and must do a clean install.
    When I added a partition out of main partition (I wanted to put search index and page file on their own partition) those partitions aren't seen - are hidden - to Leopard.

  • Need help understanding MS SQL Server 2008R2 and Report Builder 3.0 and user access / priviledges.

    Having Problems with connections and access.  I have spent the last 2 days reading various threads regarding SQL Reporting Services pertaining to access and connections.
    First, let me explain what I have done to date.
    1)  I am using Windows 7 - Home Premium.
    2)  I downloaded and installed MS SQL Server 2008 R2 Express.  This was successful.
    3)  I downloaded Report Server 3.0 - This was successful.
    4)  In IE, I tried logging onto http://servername/reports, but this failed.  After logging into IE
    via ' Run Administrator', I was able to access URL.  
           Next, I updated the security / trust sites as explained in the
    threads
    Next, I went to Folder Setting and added my user name and granted all roles (Browser,
    Content Manager, My
    Reports, Publisher and Report Builder).
    5)  Now, I can log into Http://servername/reports using my normal windows 7 user account.
    6)  Next, I opened Report Builder 3.0.  However, I am having trouble connecting to report  
    server.  I tried connecting with
    http://servername/reports, but this failed. 
           However, If I change URL to http://servername/reportserver, it works.  BUT NOW, I have
    another problem.  When I
    execute the RUN button to create report, I get a  permission
    error.  "PERMISSION GRANTED TO USER ARE
    INSUFFICIENT FOR  PERFORMING THIS OPERATION".
    7)  Finally, I can not save reports to http://servername/reportserver when I select "Recent
    Site and Servers".  ERROR
    MESSAGE:  UNABLE TO OPEN OR SAVE REPORT
    8)  In my Reporting Services Configuration Manager:
    Web URL = http://servername:80/ReportServer
    Report Manager URL = http://servername:80/reports.
                What is strange, the Report Manager URL works for IE URL and WEB URL works for
    Report Builder connect (Even though it really does not work). 
    THREE QUESTIONS:
    1)  What URL should I use to connect in Report Builder.  
    2)  How do I update my normal Windows 7 user so I can run reports when I connect to report
    builder.        
    3)  How can I save my reports so they are displayed in IE Reporting services.  Note:  I was
    able to save report to
    documents folder and import into IE Reporting Services.
    4)  And finally, is it possible to add report builder 3.0 as a tab in my IE Reporting Services.  I
    save seen samples of Reporting Services screens where the instructor has Report Builder
    tab.
    Thanks
    Dan

    To answer question 1... it should connect through /ReportServer
    http://bretstateham.com/reporting-services-architecture-diagram%E2%80%A6/
    Report Builder 3.0 is not a web application, it is a client side application can be used using the click-once or downloaded from Microsoft's website.  If you are having issues, you might download and install it and try running it as an administrator.

  • Firefox mage quality and resolution was superb when I used XP and Vista. Now that I have Windows 7, however (with the Firefox 3.6.3 version), the image quality and resolution is poor. Please help me!

    I am using the Firefox 3.6.3 version with my new Windows 7 operating system. When I used all the previous Firefox versions in my XP and Vista operating systems, image quality and resolution was excellent! However, now that I have upgraded to Windows 7 and Firefox 3.6.3, the image quality and resolution is poor (unacceptable for downloading purposes).
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I first activated my new computer and installed the Firefox 3.6.3.

    All my images are pixelated in firefox 3.6.3
    http://www.dcgdcreative.com
    Not only on my site but on most sites I view.
    The issue is not solved by resetting the zoom text view (ctrl+0)
    The issue is not resolved by starting in safemode with add-ons disabled
    The problem seems to only affect .jpeg files and only on Windows 7 on my desktop; as I have viewed several sites using windows XP with my laptop, no issues.
    I had the same issue with IE8 and was able to fix the problem with by setting up the compatibility view for all sites. Issue fixed no problems at all. But nothing similar for firefox?
    Whats the deal?

  • Using VMWare Fusion and Vista for NetFlix Watch Now

    Hi, I have installed Fusion and Vista in order to use NetFlix's Watch Now feature on my MBA. The installation was easy and Vista seems to be working fine. However, I can't get the Watch Now movie going. The film will start (after NetFlix determines my internet speed, etc.) and alternate between play and pause. Has anyone used this combination with success? Would a downgrade to XP work better? Or I should just use Boot Camp? Thanks.

    I've used WinXP with Fusion on a MacMini and it was fine (but faster in BootCamp). I'm currently running Vista Business on a MacBook Pro in Parallels and while it isn't slow, it certainly is slower than in BootCamp. I expect Fusion would run Vista a bit faster - Fusion does tend to be a bit faster than Parallels but Parallels seems to get along better than Fusion with one of the applications I'm using.
    There are advantages to BootCamp and BC isn't incompatible with virtualization. I suggest that you go ahead and install Vista in BootCamp. If you haven't already bought Fusion, download the demo and see how it runs using the BootCamp installation and compare that to BootCamp itself. Then decide.
