Audigy Drive on Audigy Platinum Not Recogni

I have a custom built (read, I built it myself) AMD 2200 XP with GB Ram and a 420 W Power Supply. It has a Soyo Dragon KT333 Ultimate Platinum motherboard. I have had it up and running for about 2 years and the Audigy Platinum Sound Card works beautifully. However, I have NEVER been able to get Windows XP Pro to recognize the Audigy Dri've that goes in the 5.25 in. Dri've Bay. It hasn't been a big deal, because my computer has been out of it's cubby hole for the last two years for various other reasons. However, I now want to put it where it belongs and would like to get it working before I put it away. The cables are all hooked up right. I have tried fi've different connections from my power supply and still can't get any indication of power being supplied to it or get XP Pro to see it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Falcondfw,
Since you have tried multiple power adaptors one thing to check would be to see if the Red Light on the optical out (after removing the cover that is) ever comes on. If it doesn't then it is most likely a hardware problem and you will want to have the dri've repaired. This can be arranged by contacting Technical Support, here is the page that has their contact information:

    Hello there, Underwriter.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides in-depth instructions on how to migrate your content to an external drive:

    Particularly of note for your situation:
    External drive
    This option requires more work than Home Sharing, but it creates a backup of your iTunes library on the external drive in addition to moving your content.
    Notes before you start:
    You can use most iPods as an external drive.
    Windows operating systems don't recognize Mac OS-formatted disks (HFS or HFS Plus formats). Because of this, you can't use a Mac-formatted iPod or external drive to move your music to a Windows PC. See iPod: How to determine iPod's hard disk format if you're not sure how your iPod is formatted.
    Mac OS X can read Windows-formatted iPods and drives. This means there are many ways to migrate your information from your old Windows-based PC to your new Mac.
    Mac OS X: To be sure external drives appear on your desktop, choose Preferences from the Finder menu. Be sure the options for "External disks" and "Hard disks" are enabled.
    Part 1: Locating and consolidating the iTunes Media folder
    Part 2: Copy iTunes folder from the old computer:
    Part 3: Get iTunes ready on your new computer
    Part 4: Back up any music that's already on your new computer
    Part 5: Copy music to your new computer
    Part 6: Add preexisting music that was on the new computer back into the library

  • Hard drive and dvd are not recognized in the setup menu, what could be wrong?

    The hard drive and dvd drive are not recognized on the setup menu for my Pavilion a4316f desktop computer.  Could it be a failure of the controller?  Can a PCI controller be used to replace the mother board controller?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    The Recovery process would erase you hard drive, and attempt to install a fresh OS. Decidely a bad choice if you wanted to save your data files. The Recovery sets are "tattoo" with the BIOS hardwafre configuration. It will not, IMHO, recognize the PCI Sata card.
    You mentioned the Recovery program on the hard drive actually requested the installer of the controller (PCI card). Try running from that.

  • Upgraded MacBook A1181 to 8x Superdrive, Drive Has Power But Not Recognized

    Model: MacBook A1181 Black
    OS: 10.6.4
    Other: 13", Black, 2GB Ram, 500GB HDD, 2GHz
    Yesterday I upgraded my Black 2Ghz Core Duo A1181 Macbook from a 4x UJ-857-C Superdrive to an 8x GSA-810-N Superdrive because the UJ-857-C had stopped working. The replacement is a NEW Apple branded Superdrive.
    After completing the hardware replacement, I booted the computer and heard the new Superdrive get power during the boot sequence, so w/o checking system profiler, I put a DVD in the drive. It accepted the disk and sounded like it was reading it, but no disk mounted.
    I then checked Disk Utility and there was no disk present and in System Profiler, the drive is not recognized at all. Thus the eject button doesn't work, so the disk is stuck.
    Does anyone have any ideas as to why the drive would not be picked up by the computer? I don't believe the SATA cable is faulty since the drive is receiving power, and I don't believe the drive is faulty since it accepted the disk and all sounds were normal. Is there some type of procedure I need to go through to get the MacBook to recognize the new drive?
    Thanks - Any help is appreciated.

    When you say "not recognized" do you mean when you look in Apple/About this Mac/More Info/Disk Burning that you see nothing?

  • Installed additional hard drive, previous one is not recognized.

    I have a G4 867 MDD using 4 internal hard drives. In the ATA100 bay, I had a Seagate which was my main System drive. I just bought a larger drive intended to become my system drive, so I moved the Seagate to the outer slave position. I changed the jumpers accordingly.
    Problem is the computer now doesn't see my Seagate as a startup option, and will only boot into OS 9.2.2. First message is that the disk is unreadable, do I wan't to initialize? No! However, in this message, it does correctly see the drive as a 149 Gig drive. When I booted into OS X from an external drive, the profiler did see the Seagate but said it only was a 31 Gig drive, when in fact 149 is accurate. However it did not and does not mount on the desktop. Seagate is barely a year old, so I don't suspect drive failure. It worked perfectly before this.
    I rechecked everything to make sure the cables were secure, etc. A year or so ago I had done the same kind of switching over when I bought the Seagate, but that time all was fine and when I booted, it defaulted to the old system, which is what should be happening now.
    I need some help here, thanks!

    Hi, opto -
    ...the profiler did see the Seagate but said it only was a 31 Gig drive...
    Recheck the jumpers on that drive carefully. Some drives came with an additional jumper and position, which limited the effective capacity of the drive to 32GB (because some PC processors could not address a drive size larger than that).
    ...so I moved the Seagate to the outer slave position. I changed the jumpers accordingly.
    It's not necessary to change the jumpers. With two drives on an ATA bus, it makes no difference to the Mac which is Master and which is Slave, nor which is connected to what connector. See the last paragraph of -
    Article #24342 - Power Macintosh G3 and G4: IDE Master and Slave Support and Configuration
    G4 MDD models can use the Cable Select jumper settings. You might experiment with setting the drives that way.

  • Drives from old G5 not recognized in new G5

    My old G5 DP 2.5 died. So I bought a G5 DP 2.3.  When I put the drives from the original G5 in the new one, it says they are not readable and should be initialized. What gives? They are both Power Mac G5 dual processors. What should I do?

    I don't understand why they're not working from one G5 to another G5... they should without problems!???
    Cards for G5s will be very hard to find, especially bootable cards.
    Which exact models re the 2 G5s?
    If you don't know the model, find the Serial# & use it on one of these sites, but don't post the Serial# here...

  • New drive not recognized

    I installed additional hard drive, icon showed up initially, now that drive is no longer recognized by computer: SATA internal drive 400 Gig Western Digital.
    I set it up as 1 partition. How can I get computer to recognize the newly installed drive?
    g5   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Excellentpa has a 1.8GHz (single) G5 with 1GB RAM. I helped him install the SE16 WD4000KD without knowing the issues with that drive.
    Quick Recap:
    - installed WD4000KD drive in G5.
    - drive initialized fine, but not recognized upon reboot.
    - unrecognized drive removed
    - now on startup, HD seems to speed up continuously and no functions work.
    He's got the original OSX disk that came with the computer, but no apparent way to install the disk and access the disk repair utility since the CD drive door won't function.
    Any ideas for a fix? Thanks!

  • Printer Canon MG2450 not recognized in PC

    I've acquired a new Printer Canon MG2450. After ingtalling the driver from CD and/or the official site, I see that the HW is not recognized by the PC.
    I've installed/uninstalled the driver several times, I've plugged/unplugged the USB cable. Even I've tried with another USB cable, Reset the PC, etc... but when I perform the "Diagnose" from the driver, the printer is not recognized.
    BTY: I've installed the pack3 in windows before, as needed.
    Do you have any idea how can I do to fix the problem?
    Thanks a lot,

    If you have an external firewire drive attached, disconnect it and try again using Firewire Basic as the capture control protocol.

  • Audigy 2 NX USB not recognized by creative installation

    Hello
    I am Swiss, please excuse my ugly english ;-)
    I have troubles with installation of the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 NX Software. It cannot find my working audigy 2 nx on USB. My System is:
    * Windows XP 5..2600 SP 2 Build 2600
    * AMD 93 Mhz, GB RAM
    * NVIDIA nForce On Board (deactivated)
    * USB 2.0
    * x HD on Firewire
    * x Wlan HW on USB
    * x Printer on USB
    When I tuned on the Audigy 2 NX the first time, Windows XP found the USB Audio Device and installed a generic driver. I was not able to cancel it as suggested in the "quick start" manual, MS has changed that behaviour.
    I was able to update the driver and Windows XP found the Creative Driver on the cd. So now I have a working Sound Blaster Audigy 2 NX. I see the device on the device manager and also in the "systeminformation" it is found in the usb and audio tree.
    But ... I am not able to install the Software "Sound Blaster Audigy 2 NX", the installer tells me: "Setup cannot find any Sound Blaster USB Audio Card on my System" (the message is in german). Very interesting is also the creative flash software, that tries to register my programm. It finds my Audigy 2 NX but at the same time an error message comes up with "File Error: Cannot find SETUPX.DLL"
    I already deinstalled everything, tried again with the installation, and so on and so on.
    Why can /audio/Setup/Setup.exe on the Creative CD not find the Audigy 2 NX? I would like to install all other software as well. Thank you very much for any help or suggestions.
    Greetings from Switzerland :-)
    Andreas
    BTW: I wrote to the helpdesk as well, just got an autoanswer, nothing else.

    Update: I've got mail from the german helpdesk yesterday. I should start CTZAPXX.EXE from the installation-CD (/audio/drivers), reboot the system and start the installation from the cd again. Unfortunately it didn't work, starting CTZAPXX.EXE doesn't do anything (just got the sandglass for a short while).
    I informed the helpdesk of that behaviour, as well as I updated the device and xp found the creative usb driver and the device seems to work. Only Creative is not able to find the device and I cannot use the Creative Software.
    I also tried to install the update "AUDX_WEBUP_LA__00_000.exe" but the installer just tells me to use w2k or higher, I have xp sp2 ... I also tried "SBDX_WEBUP_PCWDRV_03222.exe" from creative support, the installer can't find any creative device :-(
    BTW: The driver xp is using for the audio is "c:\windows\system32\drivers\sbusb.sys" Version 5.2.0.93 by Creative.
    Don't know what to do more. I hope the german helpdesk has a solution (or somebody from the forum?).

  • How do i install the newest driver for audigy 2 z

    i downloaded the newest driver and tryed to install it. it says "setup did not detect the set of required compents you have. setup wil now exit" what do i need to install the latest and greatest dri've other than the card itself?

    I had the exact same problem updating the drivers for my Audigy 2 Platinum EX, but I think I managed to solve the problem. This was quite awhile ago, but I think I remember how I got it to work.
    First of all, which update did you download? The "Digital Rights Management" driver update was the one giving me that problem, and this was after installing the main drivers and programs from my Audigy 2 CD. But, I think the reason why it gives this message is because you need to install one of the other driver updates first, then install this DRM update. Look under the driver details and it says the following:
    "<EM>Requirements</EM>:
    Microsoft? Windows? XP Service Pack 2 or Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 </LI>
    Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 or Audigy 2 ZS series internal audio device </LI>
    <EM>EAX 4.0 ADVANCED HD Driver Patch Update for Sound Blaster Audigy 2 and Audigy 2 ZS (released on 29 March, 2004) installed, or Sound Blaster Audigy 2 and Audigy 2 ZS Driver Update (released on 29 July, 2004) installed</EM>."</LI>
    Strangely enough, it appears this update requires you install an older driver update first (EAX4DRV_AUDIGY2__84_50.exe) then afterwards try running the Digital Rights Management update.
    I think this is right, but I'm not 00% sure.

  • Vista RTM Audigy driver: release December X, January X, now TBA

    I can appreciate that the changes in Vista make life very difficult for a driver developer but there is no excuse for the poor management of this process. First these drivers?were?listed for release December, then January and now it says TBA. From a PR point of view including the expiry date in the driver(I would love to hear an explanation for that) and then these delays is very pitiful. I don't think as a company you are doing yourselves any favours with this. Many tech forums are speculating because of these delays and there are rumours that the driver when it is released will not have full functionality even though these products are still on the shop shelves. Despite the company's dubious practices(imop) with drivers in the past (new drivers released for Audigy 2 ZS but not Audigy 2 Player) I've always stuck with?Soundblaster cards because of the guaranteed compatiblity but I think this will be my last and given the coverage that this is starting to get I don't think I will be alone in this...

    Hi!?I agree with you on this. The problem with Creative, is the lack of a competiti've company. They don't have it, so they do as they please. It's outrageous, total lack of respect to their clients. I own 2 creative cards, and I'm running Vista. First card is a Audigy 2 ZS Platinum, tried their beta driver, and it's awfull! Doesn't even support 5. speaker systems... How I resolved this? Installing latest XP drivers using compatability mode. It works just fine, just don't use Vista to configure your speakers, use instead the Creative Panel, and everything will work just fine: EAX working at 00%, CMS at 00%, 5. Speakers at 00%. My second card, is a 5. Li've Digital. That one, as Creative decided simply to abandon it, I used the same technique! Worked like a charm... Everything works just fine...So, tell me one thing: if XP drivers are able to install (on compatability mode, thanks Microsoft for this) why is it being so hard to launch one 00% Vista Driver? I'm not speaking one for the final release, although many companies already launched them (for example, NVIDIA, but there is one thing called ATI, here) at least one for the RC2... They launched the new MediaSource, but for me, the setup doesn't even finishes, simply crashes...But, by now, lauching an RC2 driver? Has no logic...My advise to Creative, begin to take better care of your clients, or else, you may find yourselves with a decrease in sales... Many people are just begining to use onboard audio chips, instead of paying ?200 for a audio card. It's true, the downsize in performance (or the lack of professional audio editing), but, nowadays, with the available GPU's and CPU's, people who simply use their computers to work on Office or play a game, are thinking twice before buying a Creative Card...

  • Which Audigy Driv

    In my hardware profile, it says that I have a SB Audigy Audio [B400], but I'm not sure which driver to download. On the website, under products for audigy, I get Audigy LS, Platinum eX, Platinum, Gamer, and MP3+. I am not sure which, if any, of these that I have.
    I don't want to download the wrong one and have all sorts of problems.
    Thanks

    Score,
    That model is not on my primary hardware list and the icestorm here has separated me from a lot of my resources so it may take some time for me to find this. Gi'ven the number I would assume that this is an Audigy 2 Value or Audigy LS. Could you describe the inputs and outputs on the card for me (How many are there, are they color coded, what colors, is there a firewire port, is there a game port) this may help me narrow it down without the list.

  • Driver for Audigy Advanced MB for windows 2

    Hi,
    Will really appreciate if some can provide me a link to download a driver for Audigy Advanced MB for windows 2000
    I am novice in computers.
    I had purchased a dell M330 system that came with pre-installed drivers loaded and windows vista.
    With the system I got a CD.On the CD it is printed as Sound Blaster..... Audigy...Advanced MB.
    I changed my OS to Windows 2000 server, now the problem is there is no sound. I tried to use the CD that came with the system, however, the message informs me that I need to install a sound driver. I don't know which sound card I have; but looking at CD I assumed to be Audigy Advanced MB integrated sound card.
    I could not find the driver on the your creative website.
    Can someone help me.
    Thanks

    Can someone pls help. Thanks

  • Audigy driver problems with XP SP3

    hey,
    I'm about to pull my hair out here. This is a new install of XP after an HD failure. I have no sound at all, so figured it was a driver issue.
    I have no driver CD, but the soundcard has Creative Labs Model Number SB0090 on it and the chip on the front says Audigy on it.
    I can''t figure out which driver I need - they are all marked with Audigy this, Audigy that - but no reference to model #s. I found one document that says the SB0090 is an Audigy?- but Audigy (by itself) is not a choice on the product listings.
    So, I've tried many of the driver downloads, but they all result in the same error saying it was unable to find a compatible device in the system.
    Windows XP shows it in the device manager as Creative SB Audigy.
    Can anyone tell me exactly which driver I need to download and the steps I need to follow to get audio working on this?
    thanks in advance,
    kp

    &nevermind - I figured it out.
    No thanks to Creative I might add. Turns out this is an OEM card and the standard creative drivers don't work.
    The creative install routines know this - too bad they couldn't just say something like "OEM device detected, please contact ..."
    I used to think highly of Creative - that has slipped somewhat of late.

    I downloaded drivers from this location and all of them cant find my sound device!:
    http://us.creative.com/support/downl...x=33&Image4.y=
    I just reinstalled my whole WinXP, and just installed all new drivers for everything except the USB 2.0 driver and sound device as you can tell if you went to the top link.

    THX Cat for the answer, I installed my old SB0090 Audigy 394, I lost the driver disk... so I figured it would be like my other devices and just download a new driver from Creative, but it seems to me that Creative must want the original drivers first..no other device on my computer needs the original drivers...
    and thanks for responding everyone, ill try the other links aswell
    Oh and btw I dont see any customer support Email link anywhere on the Creative website, mybe someone wants to point it out to me(i could be just retarded and cant see it)
    Also, why the heck arent drivers for Creative soundcards on the Microsoft update website?, all my other older devices have drivers there...
