Creative Sound Blaster Audigy LS "WINDOWS CANNOT DETECT A SOUNDBLASTER HARDWARE" Issue!!!

Hi all to cut the long story short I have had my audigy Ls card for a little over an year now, everything worked fine until I have decided to reformat my computer due to regular maintenance and this was roughlly 2 month ago, anyway I have explored all the different avenues and have found my self stranded to this point. 

Basically I have the drivers (from creative official driver downloading page) for the sound card installed and its running fine however not flawless due to the fact that my original CD that came bundled with the card cannot be installed anymore, ever since I have reformatted my PC. windows just couldn't detect my exisiting AUDIGY LS card and keeps error out when the installation starts and states that windows can not detect a sound blaster card in your system etc etc. 

Now I know for a fact that everything worked fine with the drivers installed correctly without any issue prior to my format. is there any any any any!!! way to actually overcome this nuisance ? Im getting really pissed of as I no longer could enjoy the full benefit of my sound blaster 

e.g creative media centre, sound equilizer, 6/24bit adjustment. 
I have switched the card in other PCI slot, it's no use and I have tried and obviously failed to do everything I could to solve this problem. the onboard sound has been disabled.AC97 and I really couldn't figure out why...strange ...

I have searched the forum for valuable infomation as I seen a couple of people are suffering the EXACT same issue as I'am. 

My system spec is as follows.
Asus P4P800 Deluxe MOBO
P4 3G CPU H. T Enabled
G KINGSTON RAM
6600GT WINFAST GFX CARD

Hi All,
I am pretty much in the same boat but with an Audigy 2 Value Sound Card.
Removed some old piece of rubbish card (6MB Aztech PCI 288 Q3D using a Trident 4DWave-NX Chip.... yes about 6 yrs old !) in my daughters pc and replaced it with the new one.
Same error message i.e. hardware not detected... ihave already posted as im trying to find and install the right drivers. I have also tried the PCI-slot hopping etc etc.
So what next people ?

Yes it is called trying to install the wrong driver for your card. Will work much better if you try installing the correct one,
SBAX_PCDRV_LB_2_8_000.exe
Also helps if you click on the "Show Details" link on the download page, then you would see that the one you tried to install doesn't support your card,
Requirements:
Microsoft Windows Vista 64-bit, Windows Vista 32-bit, Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, Windows XP Service Pack 2, Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 or Windows XP Media Center Edition 2004
Sound Blaster Audigy Value/SE/LS, or Sound Blaster Li've! 24-bit audio devices
whereas the correct driver shows the following,

Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS With WinTV Expr

Hi,
I am using a Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS sound card, and I recently purchased a Hauppauge WinTV Express card, I have installed the card with no problems, but it says I have to connect a wire from the Line Out port on the WinTV card into the line In port on my sound card. I cannot find a line in port onm the back of my sound card so I am getting so sound from WinTV. Can anyone please tell me how to set it up correctly?
Thanks for your help,
MJJOS.

The Line In jack is the second jack from the Digital Out jack. If you have problem locating those jack, you can checkup the user guide too.

Help! Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE 7.1 Sound Card -

Hello. I've just recieved my new soundcard. It is the Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE 7. Sound Card - OEM. (Located here: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...atid=&subcat=)
My motherboard is a Asus A8N SLi se.
Now, I have put it in my motherboard, and just tried to install the drivers. I got an error though. It said "No compatible creative product detected." So I downloaded the drivers off the Creative site, and that did not help either. I disabled the onboard sound in the BIOS, and yet it still did not work. I tried plugging in the soundcard into each of the soundcard ports on my motherboard, and none of them detected the card.
I am sick of using onboard, and would like to get this problem fixed.
Some additional information:
The back audio/microphone ports on my motherboard never worked. I have been using the front sockets on my case. I see cables running from my motherboard to the front of my case. Maybe one of those cables need to go into my soundcard in order for it to work? I'm not sure which though, so I didn't try it, just incase.
Here are some screenshots of what I'm getting. They might help.

Drivers from the Creative CD: http://img520.imageshack.us/img520/3649/gaycdam5.jpg
Unknown Device in my Device Manager: http://img409.imageshack.us/img409/9924/unknownoj8.jpg
Now, I have no other creative parts in my computer. So this should be the soundcard, right?
Thanks in advanced for any replies.

Does the cable from the MB to the front I/O panel simuliar to this one? I installed a Audigy2 ZS in my other system and connected the black cable with the 0 pin connector to the card to use my front phone/mike jacks. Also in your device manager I see the Realtek AC97 still listed. When I installed the XM card in my 600 I disabled it in the BIOS so the entry does not show up in mine just the SB XF-I is displayed.

Creative Sound Blaster Audigy Issues

$C? When playing music on my computer the sound skip's, stutters and pauses. I have these symptoms when playing aCD as well as MP3 files . I tried different players but all have the same result. I thought it was my Anti Virus, butwhen disabled it symptoms still occur. Onboard sound works perfectly. Sound card has worked fine the past threeyears until I re-installed windows recently. I have updated all drivers including Chipset and Sound card. Thinkingit may be an IRQ issue but I do not know where to begin. Is it just a bad sound card please help!

Oh my sweet Jesus Creative, what are you doing?!
This is just funny - I can't play MP3's in 5. mode! LOL!? You 'aving a bath!
On top of that you've rendered DDL useless because my spdif output doesn't appear in the drop down box.
Interestingly though I can MP3 in 5. fine through VLC player.
Have you added some kind of hardware MP3 decoding or something?
You know if you're trying to keep us with you, or encourage us to upgrade, you're going about it a very odd way.

Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE problems

Alright first of all I am new to Linux in general.
I have two soundcards in my computer. One is an onboard card (Intel) that is faulty and doesn't work; another is a Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE which does work.
My problem, of course, is getting the latter to work.
So I realize this is nothing new, searching the forums and reading ALSA's wiki. However there seems to be some issues with making this work on ALSA, so is there a way to configure this with OSS?
"lspci | grep audio" returns both soundcards:
00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02)
01:00.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs CA0106 Soundblaster
"ossdetect -v" returns:
Detected Sound Blaster Audigy LS / Live7.1
Detected Intel AC97 (ICH5)
USB support available in the system, adding USB driver
Detected Generic USB audio/MIDI device (BETA)
I use "soundoff" and "soundon", then "osstest":
Sound subsystem and version: OSS 4.1 (b 1052/200903241101) (0x00040100)
Platform: Linux/i686 2.6.29-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Apr 8 12:47:56 UTC 2009

Basically it seems like it detects the crappy onboard sound (which is unusable, I stress) and not my soundcard. I really don't know how to fix/configure this and sound is really important to me if I'll be using Arch.
Thanks for any help offered, if more information about something is needed I'll be more than happy to oblige.

I would start by disabling the on board sound in your BIOS if you are not going to use it. As a novice user much of the documentation kind of covers the simpler case and this might help you navigate them better.
Keep in mind the Audigy SE is not a real Audigy (like Audigy 2 which has very good linux support). If you are just looking for straightforward playback you should have no trouble, but you will not get hardware mixing with SE IIRC.

Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE, 7.1 surround?

What are the latest drivers for Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE, 7.1 surround? I have have tried a lot of drivers and they don t seem to work...

I have a Sound Blaster Audigy SE on Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit operating system. So far this Gateway GT5404 duo core pc is having better audio capabilities with high end games like world of warcraft, with some noticable sound issues (Sigmatel audio). I bought this card to better the audio performance of World of Warcraft and get rid of these issues. I'm not sure if this card is any better than the on-board intergrated sound card on this gateway. Is this just a driver issue with the Audigy SE card? or is my on-board better? After putting it in world of warcraft's sound on the logon screen and throughout the game sound "stretched" from lag from the video card's high end performance (NVidia GeForce 7600 w/latest drivers). Any help or info would really do me good right now. Thanks,?PurePower

Creative Sound Blaster Audigy NX won't register as a USB device!

@Creative Sound Blaster Audigy NX won't register as a USB device!H I just moved my computer to another location across the room.
I didn't drop or beat or throw anything. I picked things up, moved them, and set them down carefully. I didn't abuse anything at all.
Now, my Sound Blaster Audigy NX doesn't work anymore.
I plug it into my USB hub, nothing. I plug it into a USB port in my laptop, and nothing, either. None of the USB ports in the hub or the laptop work, even after restarting. The light on the hub doesn't even light up to detect the device at all. I can't turn it on. It doesn't seem to matter if my speakers are actually on or off, or whether I have sound playing on the computer or not.
I've restarted countless times, too.
It worked before I moved it, and now, my expensi've sound card doesn't work. What's up, now?

joaolfb,
Audigy 2 NX will need to be connected with the power adaptor inorder to run. USB will not be enough to sustain the power consumption of the sound card.

Pin Specifications for Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SB1394

;Pin Specifications for Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SB394 I have a Sound Blaster Audigy SB934 CA000-IAF Creative Tech '0 AA299J basically a Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum (wiouth the front bay for conectivity.)? And since I dont' have the front bay for heaphone and mic conectivity I was wondering if there is a spec sheet for the 40-Pin conectivity that is used for the front bay. I was wondering if anyone could provide me with such spec sheet so that I can try to conect my frontal Intel board plugs for headphone and microphone (would like to use my headset.)
There are a lot of pins on the card and well only about 8 in the conector for the front plugs. So if any dev from the forum is reading this I would greatly apreciate it if I could use my front Intel sound plugs on this old model card.
Thank you for all your help.

That will help you with the pin assignments.......
And you can also try one of these to connect a lot more easily to your front panel audio jacks.......

Creative Sound Blaster Audigy Value/SE/LS and Sound Blaster Li've! 24-bit Vista Beta Driver 0.04.0055
Yeah, 32-bit, wooo.
When will a 64-bit version be available?

Has anyone tried the "AMD64" Driver for the Audigy Value (I assume this is the SE?) that is on the bundled CD?
I tried different driversets from the download/support site to no avail.
I didn't think about the CD driver until I got to work this morning.
Really wishing I picked up the Li've! (yesterday) instead of the Audigy Value now
...expected this card to have a better chance, especially with "x64 drivers" on the box.
Oh well, I'll give it one more shot tonight with those CD drivers... hopefully something will work.Message Edited by abz on 2-07-200604:08 PM
