CANNOT install MEDIA SOURCE by Audigy Z

Hi there
After long trying installing new drivers for my Audigy 2 ZS 2 i found one... but now, if I would install the Applications from the CD (originial one) theres still the message that no soundblaster Soundcard was detected... all updates are installed on the system... Im searching for the application that appears in the system tray down right by windows XP, where I could configure EAX, THX CMSS and so on... this program had an blue design, so I supposed that it is Media Source which I dont have now...
Could anyone help me?
thx

I have the same problem . But alitle different. I got this Audigy ZS 2 as a gift from a friend of mine, because he bought a Audigi zs2 plat pro. The problem is that he didn't have the cd for the audigi zs2 anymore. So now i went 2 the d/l section so i can find the EAX console wich was so helpfull with my Audigy LS that i had, but i can't find the software anywhere. PLEASE SOMONE HELP ), i really need that EAX Console.
I took the Creative MediaSource off my AudigyLS cd but i can't get the eax console of av it

Install Media Source 5

Can't install Media Source 5 on Vista!
My Zen Touch with PlayForSure-Firmware is connected via USB to my PC and recognized by Vista (explorer and WMP ).
If I try to install Media Source 5 using CMS5_PCAPP_LB_5_0_38.exe I got "can't find product".
if I try to install the plugin for PlayForSure-Players for Media Source 5 I got "can't find Media Source 5"
-> no Media Source 5 without plugin - but also no plugin without Media Source 5.
What to do?

Have you installed the software below in order, if it's already recognized by Vista you should not have any problems. This worked for mine. I have Windows Vista Home Premium 32-Bit. . Creative ZENcast Organizer .04.06 Suite 2. Creative PlaysForSure Devices Plugin 5.00.36 for Creative MediaSource 5 Player/Organizer 3. Creative CD Burner Plugin 5.0.3 for Creative MediaSource 5 Player/Organizer 4. Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 5.0.38

Multiple errors when syncing and cannot install media or apps

I had some problems uninstalling apps from my new BlackBerry Curve 9300 -- the phone froze and I foolishly disconnected it from my Mac without "ejecting" it -- and now I am having big problems syncing. I cannot add media or new apps to the BB and when I tried resetting the phone by removing the battery I encountered the following error message: "Uncaught exception: java.lang.Error".
In addition, when I connect the BB to my Mac with the USB cable I get the following error from Mac OS: "Mac OS X can't repair the disk 'NO NAME." The BB appears on my desktop as a read-only disk.
I can sync information (contacts and calendars) but I cannot sync media. The error message is: "BlackBerry requires write permissions on your media card to sync your media files." Obviously, the permissions have been damaged.
And finally, when I try to add new apps to the BB using BlackBerry Desktop Software, I get the following error message: "BlackBerry Desktop Software failed to validate your BlackBerry device update. Aborting install due to validation failure. Some packages contained unsatisfied dependencies."
Yes, so I have created quite a problem. What do I do? I don't mind wiping the BB and starting fresh, but I don't know even how to do that!
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I posted this question in this forum because I think it is a Mac-BlackBerry problem, perhaps something to do with disk permissions?
-RE.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I opened the log file in Blackberry Desktop and the "unsatisfied dependencies" error was highlighted in red. I don't understand computer logs; however, it seemed to me that Desktop was looking for the BlackBerry Podcase app, which I had deleted. I reinstalled it using BlackBerry AppWorld on my BB and now Desktop and my BB are talking to each other again.
The moral of the lesson: don't ever delete an app on your BB with the word "BlackBerry" in it.
I still don't know how the permissions problem with the media card fixed itself.

Windows 8 Pro volume license version does not have "Add Features" therefore cannot install media center.

As the title describes, Windows 8 Pro installed from the Volume License ISO does not have the Add Features wizard, and as such it appears to be impossible to install the Windows Media Pack.
I've consulted with Live Chat support who cannot provide an answer to this, they simply said it should be done through "Add Features" which does not exist.
A similar thread was answered by saying install from a Retail disc and upgrade. However this is hardly a solution, paying for an additional Windows license when you already have a volume license.
Can anyone, preferably MSFT, provide a proper answer on how Windows Media Center can be install on Windows 8 Pro which is volume licensed. If it can't be done can some reason or justification be given as to why it can't be done.
Please see previous thread here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w8itproinstall/thread/d63b46e5-c542-4dbe-be41-c46cda440723

I would like to pile on here and say "ditto" to all of the above. you have a licensed product and they don't even support the MSFT version of a DVD player. Nah, no one EVER has to play a older technology in corporate America due to training or presentation
(A funny clip of a movie before a ppt)? Nah.
But, I'd like to add a warning to MSFT senior management. I know you want to force everyone to use YOUR cloud just like apple did to theirs. Wont' work. Some of us refuse to sign onto a web site and let you track all of our moves... some
distrust the cloud (Target anyone?) etc etc. All good points, now for the out of the park. The Harvard Business Review some years ago did a study on long term profitability of a company (you have to have a profit to stay in business). The
most highly correlated factor: Customer Sat. Sorry, but I don't see customer sat in all of these entries.
IF you made your product easier to use and NOT have to have a IT support person to move from a small workgroup to a server configuration (and PS, what in the heck to you get from a workgroup? File Replication, Remote access to outlook files as one
does via exchange? Really, every computer is in a workgoup any more, so there is ZERO value add in a workgroup on a MSFDT platform, however there is great value, even with a couple of users, in an Exchange/Windows Server Platform -- so why so you make
it so damned hard to implement one... Difficult for one to implement in an SMB environment (so lets just kill SBS) but growth from small business is where your growth is... just like IBM did before you, MSFT only appears to be listening to Fortune 500 it execs,
but I really digressed) This is just one more pain in the butt to use MSFT in the small environment. So what is the rational business decision? Yes one can pick MSFT but with Zero value add in the workgroup, why not them other guys (who may
be apple, or android or even some Linux platforms)
SO you want to continue to mil the cash cow, listen to your forums.
One more note on the STORE. Lets say you do pick a competitive product in the windows store. Have them been verified they don't contain malware like MSFT products? I believe the answer here is "NO" So this adds another layer of complexity
and security risk on the corporate problem of "How do I play a DVD on my laptop" I am sure none of you has ever played a movie on your laptop flying for business?
So, MSFT management, let me paraphrase the posts above: "WHY don't you support our business needs"
And remember, people buy to have their needs met..... (IBM Planned Sales Call)
If you don't meet small business needs, someone will... and that too is fraught with risk.
(For example of how to make computers easy to use in SMB I reference SBS, the Systems Management Interface tool in IBM Unix, or best of all, the AS/400.... something even Ellison couldn't kill, though he tried.

Software Installation Problems with Media Source and Nomad Explo

Hello Creative Users,
recently I had to reinstall my operating system on the PC. I have an IBM Thinkpad R30 with a Sitecom USB2.0 pccard. I am running WinXP Pro SP2 with all latest updates.
I have a Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra with Firmware .20.08 and an update harddri've of 80GB.
As long as I was running the software on my previous installation everything worked fine.
I installed the driver .26.02. This recognized the Jukebox. Musicmatch is able to communicate to the Jukebox and recognizes all files on it.
When I installed Nomad Explorer I got an error ctregserv failed because ctin...dll is not found.
When I tried to install Media Source from the original disk it showed an error after 30% Media Source not found. Install Media Source before continuing.
This is what I received now with all verisons of Media Source and Noamd Explorer incl. .30.0.
Can someone help me as synchronizing with Musicmatch is a pain.
Thanks
Rolf

Hi everyone,
as I saw many questions regarding installation problems with Mediasource or Nomad Explorer
in this forum I will answer my own question right here. I was pointed to the answer by a friend with a similar problem on some other software.
When trying to install the Creative software under WinXP SP2 I happens that the registration does not work. the reason are missing write attributes to the keys for
Creative software. To correct that go to: Start, Run and enter regedit. Hit ok and you are in the registration editor.
Find the Creative location unde HKEYS_SOFTWARE. Click right mouse button and choose
properties.
Check full access for your user as well the system user. click on advanced and mark both all the users you want to install from. Check the lower box below the user window sayin something about roghts being propagetd to lower folders etc. Cklick conform and ok, click confirm on previous screen and close regedit.
Now you should be ok and able to install.
Regards
Rolf

Yeah, I'm afraid it seems you are using Windows XP drivers.
That, or you have the 64bit version of Vista, and yet, trying to use a 32bit driver.
Its definietly one of them. Try downloading, if available the appropiate program for your Windows installation
I hope this helpsMessage Edited by flame on 09-09-2007:28 AM

Can't re-install media sou

I lost my nomad disk for my Jukebox 2LX and when I upgraded my windows I did a clean install. When I tried to find the original media source program (on the support webpage, only upgrades) I couldn't find it.... Is there a specialized link I have to follow or do I have to buy a replacement Nomad disk?

I am trying in the same order but, mediasource installation continues to fail at 47% with message "creative mediasource not found, please install your mediasource before running this setup program. setup will exit". I am inthe process of installing media source, so i do not know whats the logic behind this error message. After I reboot I could see media source organizer working but not the install for Nomad Jukebox Type 2 plugin. Did anybody face this error? It worked seemlesly in my laptop <IMG height=6 src="http://forums.creative.com/i/smilies/6x6_smiley-sad.gif" width=6 border=0>....i would appreciate any help. thanks

Skipping / jerky DVD DTS audio on Audigy 2 ZS also crash when using Media Source DVD-A pla

I've been having a difficult time playing 5. DVD audio using my new Audigy 2 ZS card. I have updated drivers from Creative.
When I try to play the DTS track on a DVD-A (e.g. Queen's "A Night at the Opera"), I get choppy skipping sound -- the music sounds good, but it skips and is jerky. The PCM 2-channel stereo on the same disc sounds fine. Dolby Surround on another DVD-A disk (not DTS), "Trey Anastasio" also starts out jerky and skippy, but then seems to "settle down" in the middle of the first track. The Creative Mediasource DVD-A player doesn't work at all on-- as soon as it launches, it crashes and reboots my computer (which suggests to me that it must be some driver conflict issue or something). That problem only happens when playing certain discs -- e.g. the Queen disk and the
DVD-A of Yes' "Fragile."
I have installed on my system Windows Media Player 0, WinDVD 4 (OEM), Nero Showtime and Creative's Media Source DVD-A player.
I am using a brand-new HP Pavilion a730n Windows XP SP2 52Mb RAM.
DVD player is Lite-ON DVD/RW SOHW-832S
Video card is nVidia GeForce 6600
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

ok, I normally use powerdvd 6, now with dts 96/24 decoding pack, and I have the latest patch to version 47 installed.
it is the same again: when using 6 speakers in audio configuration menu, queen dvd plays perfectly, when using spdif output and decoding via zs card, sound is distorted. I noticed that if I activate "show information" in powerdvd, detected sound track changes between "dts 5.0" and "dts 5. 96/24" all the time in spdif mode.
is there a problem with powerdvd AND windvd or the audigy2 zs ?

Windows Vista--again- Cannot install Creative Media Sou

Hello. I have a Zen Microphoto. I bought a new computer running window vista home premium 32 bit. I have been tryng to install the creative media source 5 to manange my music and playlists. I prefer this over Media Player. Every time I try to install the program, the setup program stalls with an error message, "searching for installed components" I have tried installing the program with the ZEN plugged into different USB ports and I have tried deleting the driver from the device manager and reinstalling it. Can anyone help me with this??

I would work through the reset procedures given under the various FAQ threads and then try the firmware upgrade again after getting it out of recovery mode as that seems to be the issue. There seem to be a number of threads with things to try. I would not give up but first work through the various suggestions to get it out of recovery mode. Then post separately re the recovery mode problem to see if anyone has ideas for solving that first. Did it go into recovery mode immediately after the firmware upgrade? Will it let you try to do the firmware again?When I connect it takes about 20 secs before the player is recognized by media player. In terms of transfer to your own laptop - do you have a burner on the friends PC for burning a DVD or 2. Or a slower way is multiple transfers using a USB memory stick.

I am sorry Erickkasner but there is no longer direct support provided for Creative Suite 5.5 installation issues.
You are welcome to post any specific errors you are able to discover within your installation log to this discussion. Since you are using Windows then Exit Code 15 could mean one of the following:
Installer database is corrupted
Update pending to your operating system
Improper permissions set for the Media.db
The installation log file should provide additional insight into the exact error you are experiencing. Please make sure to use the find command to look for the words 'ERROR' and 'FATAL' to locate the relevant error messages.

Cannot install windows media player

i downloaded windows media player for mac but cannot install it on my macbook pro. its giving me an error that it is not supported on this system. Is there an easy way to install it, or is there a version avaialbe for macbook pro?

Flip4Mac will not work on Intel Macs as its not Universal yet.
If anyone here wants a Universal plugin for WMV content and cannot wait for Flip4Mac to go Universal try Popwire Tech.

Its free for playback of WMV in QT but you have to pay if you want to encode to WMV.

Errors "A media driver your computer needs is missing." or "Windows cannot install required files" upon attempting to install Windows 10 TP build 10041 64-bit

I'm attempting to install Windows 10 TP build 10041 [64-bit]
I am currently being prevented from installing by a "A media driver your computer needs is missing." error, which occurs fairly early in the process. I've interpreted further text in the message as a suggestion that it's a DVD, USB or some other
similar driver issue. However, as I've been able to attempt each install through booting from DVD and USB, I'm not convinced this is the issue.
I'm currently installing to a 128Gb SSD drive. I have installed Windows 10 TP on my laptop's SSD with no issues.
On a few occasions the installation has continue with the installation, and then failed at about 6% with the following error:
"Windows cannot install required files. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. Error code 0x8007045D". I have not removed the installation USB or DVD.
I did not have this issue when installing build 9841, so am currently assuming this is an issue with build 10041.
Apologies if this query has been posed before, a search did not show up this issue.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for trying to assist!
I attempted removing/deleting partitions and formatting the SSD as part of the install process. I have also tried installing via USB and DVD with the same issues.
As part of the troubleshooting, I attempted to install a different OS. I was able to successfully install Linux Mint 17.1 with no issues. This further solidifies my impression this is an issue with Windows.
I will try a different USB port, appreciate the suggestion, didn't think it would make a different given the various methods already attempted.

Cannot Install This Hardware (audigy 2 zs gam

i have a Sony vaio pcv-rx650, xp home sp2, plenty of pci slots, updated chipset(motherboard), updated bios, and every other update i can find find on sony /microsoft support. yet from the first time i tried to install my sound card following the instructions i have Ben getting the same two basic errors.
the instructions say to install the soundcard, turn on computer, cancel "hardware update wizard", insert disc and follow instructions.
. when canceling the update wizard it tries to install the card anyways. not once but three times: Multimedia Audio Controller, IEEE 394 Controller, and PCI Input Device. at the end of which it says "Problem with hardware cannot install". alright no problem I'm not done with the instructions but it didn't say anything about this.
2. I go through the lengthy driver software install only to receive an error with driver install. it reads"Cannot Install This Hardware. there was a problem installing this hardware: Multimedia Audio Controller. An error occurred during the installation of the device. The Data Is Invalid" this little phrase has become the bane of my existence.
Naturally i seek out alternati'ves. i uninstall every last reference to software i can find. after talking by e-mail with the support people i tried the CTZAPXX.exe method using msconfig during to avoid conflicts....
Now i have tried this method with drivers that shipped with the card i have also tried it with the web update drivers even the new one that just came out that combine the two old ones. i have even tried a whole new card just in case it was broken. i have searched all over sony's web site for anyone else that is having this problem and found no one. i have gone into the bios and disabled the onboard soundcard and all non essential ports. i have even tried toggling every setting that the knowledge base suggested(that i could find). yet everytime its the same. new hardware is detected multimedia, IEEE, PCI input all three. and always the same error exclamations in device manager before i can even begin to install the drivers. when i try to install the card using hardware wizard it recognizes it as a SB Audigy sound card but when the drivers are finished installing the same error comes up "the data is invalid".
why does this keep happening. i have never had this much trouble with any hardware on any computer ever. this is more frustrating than i can express in an e-mail. its been months now. i really want my audigy obviously. but i am at an impasse.

I've the same problem here: "Data Is Invalid"
I've spent -read wasted- an inordinate number of hours troubleshooting this.
So far, installing the Audigy 2 ZS is impossible for me on WinXP Pro SP2.
What have I attempted so far?
* Clean install of OS w/SP2 with and without soundcard in a PCI slot.
* Tried all PCI slots.
* Installed downloadable drivers, in correct order.
* Installed from CD, "drivers only" AND full install of everything under the ZS category.
* Tried the PNPREG.EXE -l business... nada.
* Onboard audio disabled in BIOS.
* BIOS told that OS was and was NOT PnP.
* Uninstall/reinstall of drivers in "Normal" Windows and Safe Mode.
* Device manager driver update with both CD and extracted downloaded drivers.
* CTZAPXX.exe on both install and uninstall modes.
Every time, the install process chokes when it gets to (WDM) WDMAUD.DRV
Still the Device Manager bang sits there on "Multimedia Audio Controller". Searches on MS Technet with combination of keywords Audigy, driver, error and SP2 yield nothing of use.
I DID find a way to install the card- Only have SPa installed on Windows.
This is unacceptable and it is not justified not having SP2 installed just because of one lousy driver for an audio card.
I believe my only hope of success is to install, again, Windows with SPa only and ensure the card works... then install the SP2 package.
Assistance would be _greatly_ appreciated. All drivers on computer are current and official, and BIOS is current. No overclocking either. I'm not really interested in selling this audio card, but...
Best regards-
