>Re: Can't install Sound Blaster li've 5. on Windows XP machine: Hi Abrie,
Is your sound card was preinstalled or was it come in a retail box?
If it is a retail version then you get the driver and applications (Win XP Professional 64 bit) from the below link.

DVD-Audio and "can not detect sound blaster card" with Audigy2 Va

I recently purchased an "Audigy2 Value" card from an eBay user, because I recently purchased some DVD-Audio discs. I downloaded the Audigy2 drivers from the website, and the Creative MediaSource player. 5. Surround sound worked fine for me, though sometimes the driver would reset to the default 2/2. sound and I would have to re-select 5. sound, which was annoying.
Then I was completely unable to get the MediaSource player to recognise my DVD-Audio discs, and the EAX functionality of the player would never work. The EAX logo never appeared in the player. When I tried installing the MediaSource player from an install disc, I got the message "can not detect sound blaster card". Then I discovered the world of EEPROM problems.
I followed advice from some other threads, including using ScanPCI to get information on the card, which yielded the following result.
When installed on my machine (Asus A7A266 motherboard) the ScanPCI reads:
Vendor 02h Creative Labs

On another machine (specs unknown, it's a "house pc") I got this (with 3 entries!):

(Just a note: above you can clearly see that it does not say I have an Audigy, it thinks it is a SBLi've. Is this normal? The card IS an Audigy 2, it says so on the card.)
So, I put the card back on my own PC, thinking this has fixed my EEPROM, but I get the same as before. Subsystem ID 0002h. And of course the install software will not detect the card.
I realise that I could go back to using the web drivers, but this still leaves me with MediaSource not recognising the card and not enabling DVD-Audio or EAX, which is why I bought the card in the first place!
I have heard that the VIA chipset is possibly to blame for the EEPROM problems on the Audigy cards, and certainly it seems like it is not permanent, since it gave different information on the other PC. So now I am seriously considering getting a new motherboard.
Do other motherboards cause this same problem? I don't want to buy another board and get the same trouble. All I want is to be able to install my MediaSource and have it recognise my card so I can listen to my DVD-Audio discs.
Cheers,
Russ.

Figured out my problem. Installing the drivers from the web to begin with was a bad idea. They just did not work properly with the card.
The "card not found" problem has gone as well, after installing it in another PC. I am also using the proper install disc now, as the other one I was using turned out to not be for the Audigy 2 value after all, but was an Audigy 2 install disc. That easily explains the "Card not found" error. The differing results from the ScanPCI program are still bizarre, though.
Thanks to all of the people on the forum who posted information in other threads to help me deal with this issue. For now I am sticking with the original drivers from the disc and I am not upgrading.

Can't install Sound Blaster live 5.1 on Windows XP machine

Hi,
I've been using?Sound Blaster Li've! Platinum 5. on my pc running Win ME for years. I've just formatted the PC and installed Windows XP Professional on it and now when I try to install Sound Blaster from the original installation CD, I get the error "Sound blaster li've 5. is incompatible with this version of windows". It still allows me to install but then I get all sorts of errors when playing back audio files etc.
I've now?re-installed XP but obviously can't use Sound Blaster and I would really like to!
I'm a musician and not?technically minded?at all so any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks - Abrie

Can not detect Sound Blaster Audigy 2 on this sys

Im having trouble install drivers (apart from the old CD ones and some out of date ones) all the latest drivers or beta drivers say they cannot detect my card. I have an Sound Blaster Audigy 2 OEM which i bought nearly 2 years ago. I've tried swapping it to a different pci slot but makes no different Constant crashes when playing openal games. Even if i install the lates openal file. But i need to find out why i can't install the newest drivers and why they say i haven't got an audigy 2 when i have. In my device manger even says that its an "Creative SB Audigy 2 (WDM)" My system is as follows...
Windows XP Proffesional SP2 32Bit
P4 3.0ghz
.25Gb DDR 400 Ram
Geforce 6800 Ultra 256Mb
Asustek P4P800-E Deluxe Motherboard
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 OEM
PCTV Rave TV card
Please some one help me, it will be greatly appreciated. If you need anymore info please let me know ( i may uninstall and remove the tv card just to get it off my list of perhaps the audio part of the tv card could be interfering ?)Message Edited by Alexia on -2-2005 :52 PM

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
Setup will exit."
My Device Manager shows Creative SB Audigy 2 (WDM) with driver version as follows:
Driver Provider: Creative
Driver Date: 23/06/2004
Driver Version: 5.2..444
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

Can't install sound blaster wow headset driver for tap chat use

?I get an error I-00 when installing. I google it, this is the install.log file:?
<div class="message-format"><div class="rplol">Sound Blaster World of Warcraft Headset]
GUID={0429B343-D023-4524-89BC-0478E0D9E3C3}?
Error=I-00 Bitmaps not found.
So wtf do I do now? I can't figure out how to install it, and the keys bound to tapchat right now are left ctrl + delete (which basically does ctrl + alt + del for windows 7)?

CIf you have winrar, winace, or 7-zip, or winzip on your system, right click the WOW driver executable you downloaded and extract it to a folder where you can easily find it. Once the file and its contents are unpacked, open that folder and run setup.exe.

Can't remove Sound Blaster Live! software from Control Pa

Hi,My Sound Blaster Li've 5. digial card isn't being recognised by my system and seems to be faulty. I tried removing the software but when I click on the Sound Blaster Li've! in the control panel nothing happens. I still have the Creative folder in my programs. I run Windows XP SP2. I have tried also under Safe Mode with the same result. Is there a Creative Software cleaner/uninstaller program (that doesn't look for the card first)?

Let's make this easy.
First download and install Driver Cleaner Pro; http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Uninstallers/Driver-Cleaner-Professional.shtml
Then clean out all creative and creative lite drivers then delete any folder in your system that has the name creative on it (usually find these with a quick File or Folders search in the start menu. Then download and install Crap Cleaner; http://ccleaner.com/, go a head and clean out files and do scan of the registry with ccleaner and remove unneeded reg stuff. Now reboot. One more thing, if you still see the "Device Control" icon in the control panel you must remove it's corresponding .cpl file in the "\windows%base%\system32\" folder.

Can not detect sound blaster c

ok, i've read all the posts and nothing helped. I have an audigy gamer and also audigy 2 zs plat. pro both i get the message :
"s on your system please make sure your cards installed correctly before running this program now exiting"
My heads about to explode dealing with this *poop* what is the problem? when i first got the cards they installed perfectly fine.. then i downloaded and installed the beta drivers and didnt like them so removed them and tried installing the origional ones. but now I get that message..WTF...Please help asapMessage Edited by Ih8creative on 2-5-2005 0: AM

Creative is horrible when it comes to support! They still haven't figured out how to solve the no card issue. Luckily, I now know how to solve it, thanks to a fellow card owner.
This is what you need to do to update your drivers for your card:
. Uninstall your current drivers
2. Shut down the PC and pull the card out and try to put it in a different pci slot. If you do not have another slot available just remove it and place it back in to the same slot making sure there is no dust in the slot first. I recommend using compressed air, although it's not necessary.
3. Your card should be recognized by the PC when starting up. Install the drivers that came with the CD.
4. Download the drivers from this site, if you need info on what exactly to download just ask and I'll try to help. You will not be able to install the drivers by clicking on the .exe file you just downloaded because it will give you that same stupid error, so on to step 5.
5. Using a program like winrar (trial version can be downloaded) extract the files from the .exe file.
6. Looking into the files you just extracted you should see a folder that says "Drivers". Click on that folder and then find the file that says "CTZAPXX.exe". After clicking on that it will start to install the updates.
This should work... it did for me. Any other audio update you want to do from now on will have to be done this way.

Can not find Sound BLaster Live 24-

i put in the card and it dont come up and say that it has found new hardware... i tried installing with the CD it said not found please make sure hardware is installed properly .... what do i do

Hi,
Can you please check:
1. Is this a retail or OEM card? OEM cards (usually came pre-installed with your computer) may not work with drivers from the download site.
2. The sound card is not being detected by your computer at all. Please go to Device Manager and find out the status of the sound card.

Sound blaster live with live drive XP install h

Does anyone know how I can get my sound blaster li've platinium with li've dri've setup to work under XP? I have tried almost everything, ran the updated which I downloaded from this site and nothing. The li've dri've unit gets no sound out of the headphone port, not even a hiss. I can get sound if I connect directly to the ports on the card, but that defeats the purpose. Under 98 this thing rocked, but it has never worked under XP.
Thanks in advance....

Provided you installed the card and it's up and running, it should work. Double-check the internal connections to make sure nothing's come loose. There should be a flat cable going from the soundcard to the dri've, and a small (floppy type) power connector going to the dri've.
Remove the little cover on the optical output to check for power, if the light shines there then there should be power going to the dri've.

Sound Blaster Cinema with z87 g45

Hi to all.
I have the z87 g45 motherboard and I can't use Sound Blaster. When I open it, there's this text:
Quote
The current audio device is disabled, not present, not supported by the application, or has unplugged jack connestions. Do you want to select another audio device now?
And if I click Yes
Quote
There is no supported audio device available.
I already have installed che realtek hd audio, so what's the problem? Thanks.

Same Problem here. System is irrelevant. Got the Problem on Win7 64b; Win8 64b and Win8.1 64b ... Seems to have happened after updating Sound drivers on my PC. Couldn't even get it back with reinstallation of Windows in general!
