Creative SB Live! Series (WDM) requesting ctlface.sys -

I`ve got Creative SB Li've! Series (WDM). I?ve just installed XP. SP3 and I now don?t have sound. It is asking me for ctlface.sys. Does anyone know where I can find this file?

Thanks for the help getting the correct drivers. I installed them and re-started the PC but I'm still left with my orginal problem. I'm using a program called "Audio Cleaning Lab" to re-master some old tapes onto CD (all the stuff I can't get on CD). It has an input level meter that shows the level of the incoming audio signal and this is used to ensure that the signal isn't strongth enough or is too loud (which results in clipping and distortion). I can hear the music thru my hi-fi, but no matter how much I move the slider on the "Recording Control" I can't hear the change (sort of in real time). The change does occur but I can only monitor it visually (doesn't allow any fine tuning) or after the recording has been made (that'd take a long time to get it just right). What am I missing? [Feel free to start this as a new thread.]Message Edited by clarke7052 on 05-7-2005 2:58 AM

Does i need a voltage-bias to the mic when connecting to the creative emu10k audio processor (wdm

hi ya,?i have got a pc installed (on w2k platform) with creative emu0k audio processor (wdm) sound card. there are 5 colored connectors at the creative back panel, the colors in-order from left to right side namely black, green, pink, blue and orange. i am a very new beginner to these pc stuffs so can someone kindly tell me what does these 5 colors connectors represent? which color is the mic and which color is the line-in and etc?secondly, i am running a test?program which will?produce an audio sound and then pass or fail the test based on?the audio level. the audio sound has been produced?but somehow the?sound?doesn't seem to be picked up by the sound card when i?connected a microphone?to the pink connector (supposedly this is for the mic) or any other color connectors on the panel. I have come across a web forum saying that i need to connect the mic?to a mircophonepreamplifier input and then the?mircophonepreamplifier output to the pc's line-in connector....is this true? cos' there's also saying that?the sound card should already have an internal bias for the mic connector... would appreciate if anyone can helpt o answer my doubts soon....cheers....:smileytongue:?but when i would like to connect a mic

Hi Guys,
I have the "Sound Blaster X-Fi Platinum Fatalty Champion Series" sound card
seems I'm in the same boat as you lot, had the W7 x64 Ultimate RC running, no problems, recently installed the full version W7 Ultimate x64 and since then whatever I try I keep getting that the drivers are the latest ones but my sound device is not working "Creative X-Fi Audio Processor (WDM) has a driver Problem"
I've tryed all one can think of, deleted all drivers (DriverSweeper), deleted the hardware, re-installed via the so called autoupdate panel all adviced drivers and proggies, result = zilch also posted question here => http://forums.creative.com/t5/Window...m-p/55796#M295 and only result is some smartass remarks, really not very helpfull and alas quite dissapointing after having spend my hard earned cash for a product with in fact no support as it seems very quiet to get some answers around here.

Creative SB Live 5.1 Surround on Vista 32

Hi,
I got a small problem where i can't find the answer for (i've been searching for ages on Google for drivers). I bought the creative sb live 5. surround but it doesn't seems to work on my laptop (dell studio 537 with windows vista home premium 32bit). I downloaded all kind of drivers for the soundcard but had no success so far. When i play music i only hear sound out of the 2 front speakers, and the subwoofer is working too. When i try to change the sound options in vista to 5. surround settings i can hear sound out of all the speakers (but only in that option menu). Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

This card was never meant to work in Vista however we had a person on here compile some drivers that worked but I'm not sure on 5.
You need this thread....drivers are here.

There may be other drivers, but Daniel_Ks worked for me in stereo.

Need Creative SB Live! value (WDM) driver for win7

hey,
? i just upgraded my PC to win7 and am looking for ideas to get my sound card (Creative SB li've! value (WDM) working again - is there an updated driver or?do i put another Win7 compatible Sound card?
thanks,
? ramesh

Re: Need Creative SB Li've! value (WDM) driver for win7] the driver and applications that exist for the package are very crippled. The card is very very old, even though I loved mine when I first got it. The headache and workarounds that you would have to use in order for that card to simply function are not worth your time.
I am not here to market, but in the last month I have been switching between my Dell OEM xtreme Music, my X-FI Titanium and my Fatality Gamer Pro Platinum. The last two are great cards and have worked for me at least, flawlessly in Vista and Windows 7. I admittedly use the Daniel K. 2.0 pack as a base for my software install of all three, but that coupled with the newest Creative issued driver have worked beatifully.
I picked up my Titanium off Ebay for $40.00. I bought my Dell OEM card for $30.00. I bought the I/O bay for the X-FI Fatality for $25. So your options are very open. That old li've will not accelerate sound well at all for Direct X based games, and you will be very disappointed. Again, all this is opinion, but I have been switching intensely between the above cards lately, and they are worth it. I do not have digital speakers, like the Logitech z-5500's. But my four year old pair of Logitech z-640's sound fantastic. I tried even with my onboard sound just for giggles. It was just that:? giggles.
Try this for a great price and fantastic performance.

No FX-Sound by creativ soundblaster Live! series

Hi @ all,
since two days i?ve got problems with my sound (see above):
if i open my audio HQ and click on "speaker" i get the following message (translation fro german):
Creative sound mixer
there is no mixer in the system, mixer will end.
if i delete the driver, shot down the computer and try again, it works, the menue opens, but if i start any game which needs or uses fx-sounds, there ist no fx-sound. I end the game, wanna click an creative sound mixer and get the same message like before.
How can i fix the prob.
thank a lot for all help
sandy7

Seventhwind,
Did you check Speaker Settings application and ensure that the Digital Output Only option has not been enabled.
Also disable any onboard audio from the BIOS if any.

Creative SoundBlaster Live! 5.1 Digital driver update - wont wo

Hello I've had this problem for as long as I can remember. I have already searched the forum in hope that I would find a solution. I didn't.
Ok, this is how it is. About two years ago I bought computer parts which I assembled together and "Creative SoundBlaster Li've! 5. Digital RETAIL PCI" was one of them.
I have tried every single driver you have under your support page and none of them will work! I always get the message:
"Setup could not detect any Sound Blaster Audio card on your system.
Please ensure that your Sound Blaster hardware is properly installed before running this Setup program.
Setup will now exit."
Right. All drivers gives me this. I know that you guys will probably ask after the serial number now but I'm too lazy to check at the very moment and I know that the serial check will be a SB Li've! 5. digital card anyway so I don't see how that would solve this issue you are having with your, sorry to say this, outdated installs.
The card is installed correctly in the device manager as "Creative SB Li've! series". And how come I can install it from the CD but not from your internet drivers?
I'm using Windows 2000 Professional with service pack 4 by the way.
Is there a chance these installs wont work with latest service packs, that they were designed for earlier service packs and Microsoft maybe changed the way to detect hardware in later service packs?
I'd appreciate any help I can get because I really need to update my drivers, I got a small sound problem now it seems (soundeffects volume goes down and there is a bit of distortion when it's too many of the same sound playing - or when a soundeffect is to loud).
Thanks for a great card in general, I'm going to buy (I don't remember the name now) one of those new cards later on - that is suposed to be over 4 times better than the previous soundblaster cards? .

Hmm, the install extracts files but not in the current directory or in windows temp. How would I extract the content from the install file so I can patch it's
EDIT: I extracted it with winrar and I got the following files:
data.cab
data.hdr
data2.cab
Diagnose.cab
disk.id
Driver.cab
ikernel.ex_
layout.bin
PC3.cab
Setup.exe
Setup.ini
setup.inx
Wstudio.cab
I know there should have been some sort of audio folder here but I didn't find any, so I tried the program and it said patch applied and all that. I try to run setup.exe and it will still not work. Probably because I'm doing it all wrong :P.Message Edited by Ice_ on 06-5-2006 04: AM
EDIT2: Ok I got several driver files so I just extracted "Li'veDrvUni-Pack(ENG).exe" to C:\sb\ and ran the tool as you described. I could launch the install without problems. By the way, Li'veDrvUni-Pack(ENG).exe is containing the latest drivers as well right? So I dont need to do this with "Li'veDrvPack_Patch.exe" as well?
Thanks!Message Edited by Ice_ on 06-5-2006 04:5 AM

Help with Creative WebCam Live! Ultra for Notebooks.

All N-Series themes request

Right, i've looked...and looked...and looked everywhere for all the preinstalled n-series themes that will work on the N80, but am not having much luck. Basically, i'd like all the official Nokia themes that either came pre-installed on the phones, or hidden on the PC suite discs. I'm not a big fan of most third party themes i've seen, and like the bugless Nokia one's. If anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be great!
Thanks,
Ed

Dunno if this is any help to you, but from another post i created here's the following:
It seems Nokia have a few (ok, 5) themes available on the S60 website. These can be found here, along with a couple of other freebie applications http://www.s60.com/life/application/displayApplications.do?type=3 Have to admit, i'm quite a fan of the Turquoise theme... looks good on both my N70 and my 5500
It's not specific ones for specific devices, but they're made by Nokia, as requested and they're bug free (as far as i can tell... i'm still using the turquoise one. I have to say, i agree with you. The 3rd party themes out there tend to be awful. Why can't people do simple themes anymore?

Hi,
Are you getting this error from the Webcam Control software or is this appearing in the task bar from the Wecam Detector program?
Do you have any additional hardware installed typically a scanner or maybe a tv capture card?
Try going into Scanners and Cameras, what do you see there?
