Computer Crashes with Creative Labs Sound Blaster 5.1 Live Card

Several weeks ago when I booted up my computer a msg apeared saying new device found(the sound blaster card mentioned in the title) even tough it had worked for months beofre then and even the night b4. Shortly after I get a beep from the mother board and the computer crashes several seconds after start up.
I thought maybe their could be some conflicting driver issues or something so I checked the BIOS and it said the onboard sound was disabled. Restarting the computer several times it kept crashing. I removed the card, booted up the computer and everything worked fine (except the sound) and it did not crash. I tried putting the card in the other PCI slots thinking that was the problem but it crashed each time.
Right now the card it ploped on the desk and I have the Creative 5. speakers running off the onboard card on my Is7-E mobo but the sound is **bleep**ty as hell and the speakers are ligned up corectly and I am having all sorts of trouble with that. I am getting basic sound though. I havnt had time to pursue the matter untill now. Do you guys think the card for some reason is damaged or Its an issue on my computer Crashing it's
Thanks,
-Mark

Heh, srry about using the S word. Ah, I whiped all the audio drivers etc...from the guid in that link. I poped the card in, booted up the computer...alas it still crashed. So now I have to get my temp sound working again. Is their anyway to tell if a compenent is phsicly dmged? I can not be shure if this is a software issue(which I dont think it is because I followed your whipe guid) or a hardware issue. I dont understand what could of hapened to it, it simply stoped working. Im not shure why my computer crashes at start up as mentioned above and doent simply not work. Any more thoughts would be great.

Optical Input on Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI-E with Logitech z-5

So i plugged in my Optical cord into my new sound card the Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI-E and it worked only in the Front right, Front left, Front centre, and the subwoofer. Now i hear i need a external decoder... but then again that my sound card should decode it as well... the place i bought my card recemended a optical cord for my card?with the?speakers i have?(the?Logitech Z-5500) How much are decoders? What should i do next? Creative seams to have limited support especialy on optical inputs.

I must have answered something like that in another thread sometime ago, but here goes:
A single SPDIF connection, optical or coaxial, will only transfer stereo in analog form; no rear or centre channels!
There are two ways you can get all speakers playing via such a connection:
() Get your speakers to upmix the audio source to play on all fi've of them
(2) Output a Dolby Digital (AC3) or DTS signal. These contain the multichannel information encoded in the stereo signal. A suitable decoder (such as the one contained in the Z-5500) will be able to analyze the signal. Unfortunately, this is something you can mostly find in movies.
So, to sum it up, no natural everyday multichannel sound over one SPDIF (e.g. no EAX, directsound3d etc.)

How to use 5.1 computer speakers with PS3 via Sound Blast

Hi,
i dont have the money to buy a second set of surround sound speakers to use with my PS3. I already have a set of Creative 5. surround computer speakers that connect via 3.5mm jacks into my sound card, there is no optical port on the speakers.
Is there a way to use these speakers with the PS3 as well. I was thinking along the lines of could i buy a new Sound Blaster X-Fi Extreme audio card which has an optical-in socket and connect my PS3 to the sound card via optical cable, and use the new Sound Blaster as an amp to redirect the sound to the computer speakers back out along the sound cards 3.5mm jack connections.
I have no idea if this would work or not so before i buy the new sound card i could anybody confirm or deny whether this works. And if not any suggestions?
Thanks alot, i appreciate any help.

thanks again but perhaps i didnt explain clearly enough. I dont want to have simultaneous optical input and output, other wise there wouldnt be a problem. The speakers i have are 5. computer speakers. The computer is connected to them via 3*3.5mm jacks from the sound card to the sub, the other sattelite speakers are connected by audio rca to the sub. My speakers have no optical-in on them, hence having to to re-route the sound through a sound card (if it would work). Essentialy using the sound card as an amp or as a big optical to 3*3.5mm jack adaptor.

Just got the Creative Labs Sound Blaster Sound Card

ok, hooked it up and everything, plugged my three cables into the corresponding colors, the colors from the cables, from my speakers, match the colors on the sound card. I played numerous songs, and sound is only coming out of the front two side speakers, I have fi've speakers in total, I'm using Logitech 5.1 system, so I have a middle speaker, and a sub, and two speakers in the rear, does anyone know how I can get all the speakers to play at once?

To import music into your iTunes library on the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Add items to iTunes and follow the instructions
Delete the "songs" that do not play in your iTunes library and reimport them.

Thanks for your help.

The DASYLab development team has read your message, and advises that there is insufficient information to be able to even start diagnosing the problem. We suggest that you send a note directly to [email protected], with your full contact information, DASYLab serial number, and the following technical information:
-The Help-->Report information - this will tell us more about the computer, video and installed memory
-Installed hardware - what DAQ devices are you using (exact models!)
-The worksheet that crashes - we need to see how the timing is configured in the worksheet
-What other programs are running at the same time?
-Does the worksheet crash every time?
-Does the NI-DAQ Test Panel work correctly for both inputs and outputs?
Sorry that we cannot be more help in this forum; we do not have much experience with blue screen under Windows 2000. This is very hard to do, and is almost always related to a hardware problem - either a resource conflict, or problems with one of the installed hardware devices (DAQ, Video, Memory...).

Help with an Older Sound Blaster Audigy Card! Computer freezing on driver upda

Hey everyone,
I'm new to these forums and dont know if anyone still has experience with the older cards.
I've had a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum for about 6 years now and noticed some popping and sometimes the card began to emit a high pitched whining sound. Thus I decided to install the newest drivers (can't hurt can it's)
However, when I finished installing the drivers, my system refuses to start. Sometimes it's at the Windows login screen, sometimes right after.
I finally got something that may be the reason why my system is hanging. I have a message that pops up that says:
Box Name: ReadReg Application :Version 6.0..36
Message: Completing installation of your audio card
??? Please wait.
My computer is now frozen.
Here are my system specs if it helps
P4 2.66Ghz
ASUS P4S800D-X
PNY 6800GT
SB Audigy 2 Platinum
GB Corsair XMS3200C2PT (2x52MB)
Windows XP Pro
DVD+/-RW DL
DVD ROM
After I did a system restore, the sound driver was missing. Said Creative Audigy in the driver section with the yellow exclamation mark. I installed the new drivers again with the same problem.
Any help is welcome!? Thank you for your time and consideration.

I would:
Pull the sound card.
Start up.Enter the BIOS setup utility to make sure your MB recognizes the change.
Save the BIOS
Start again.
If Windows works.
Run a thorough virus scan (I hope you're running some reputable anti-virus software!!!)
Install Service Pack 3.
Re-install the sound card..
I'll bet Windows finds a driver for it that works. If not, run Windows update manual and see if there's a driver update for the card.
If none of the above helps, well... I confess, I reinstall Windows at the drop of a hat and that usually solves all problems. Do it on a Sunday so you can watch football while Windows churns.
Power Quest Dri've image has saved me from the Windows install horror on many occasions. I think Symantec has pulled the program but there must be something similar out there. Buy it. And in the future, remember, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!
Good luck.
