Creative SoundBlaster Live! 24bit Crashes system on Gigabyte's GA-G19

Hi,I have lately purchased the Gigabyte Motherboard Model No. GA-G975X, with the onboard Creative CA006 chip. (Sound Blaster Li've! 24bit)I use an Intel Pentium 4 processor 3.4GHz , 800MHz FSB, 2MB L2 Cache.I use .00GB of RAMMy OS is Microsoft Windows Professional Version 2002, Service pack
My Problems are:
The sound of a played media stops abruptly and keeps repeating with a high pitch till it shuts down the player software & the System.</LI>
The OS restarts.</LI>
I have noticed that the problem occurs if I try to use another program or service beside the one using SoundBlaster. (ex. dialup using a phone line.)
I tried the system with all creative drivers uninstalled the problem was gone.
Have you got any clues about the cause and the solution.

Best Regards,[email][email protected]]Vittorio[/url]

Exactly same behaviour with G975x MB !!! The CA006 chipset is not anouncing itself correctly to the APIC HAL Windows XP system (Hardware Abstraction Layer). First, the card was not correctly detected by the system ! I got an audio controller detected in component manager but driver or Creative setup are not able to detect hardware !
After many complaints at Gigabyte or Creative, no answers for this problem or only evasi've answers. Windows registry are detecting these components :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\P CI\VEN_02&DEV_0007&SUBSYS_0602&REV_00\4&bc67b8d&0& 28F0
where VEN_02 is for CREATIVE Labs.
Here are the HardwareIDs detected :
PCI\VEN_02&DEV_0007&SUBSYS_0602&REV_00
PCI\VEN_02&DEV_0007&SUBSYS_0602
PCI\VEN_02&DEV_0007&CC_04000
PCI\VEN_02&DEV_0007&CC_040
But for 24bit li've (or audigy2 CA006 LS) hardware ID must be SUBSYS_00602 and not SUBSYS_0602 to be detected by creative setup or installed manually by P7.inf setup file !!! The P7CPI.dll file is not accessing correctly hardware and is faulty !
Installed manually, the card is not responding or crash system, and windows startup time is increased by 5mn, at least !
To resume Chipset are not correctly detected or are corrupted, and only thing to do is to RMA the motherboard as I !!!
This problem seams to be a standard behaviour from CREATIVE chipsets product line and many users are experiencing the same problem... Both Creative and Gigabyte are not responsible for that bad use of their product !!! Sure !!! Always bad naughty users are doing bad things with their boards, like playing tennis with, or trying to have a good shower with these scrappy cards !!! Everybody knows that we are all stupid basic lambda users with no idea about what is a mobo used for !!!

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

Creative Soundblaster Live 5.1 (SB02

Hello, I just re-installed windows XP from the scratch, and now my sound card wont work. I've tried to install the correct driver, but Windows won't even recognize that I've plugged in the card. And when I try to automatically find the correct driver, it states that it cant find any. I am sure that the card is working, because it worked perfect before I re-installed windows.
My computer specs are:

If I've forgotten anything here, please tell me and I will look it up.
I also checked the HP site (the manufacturer of my motherboard) for a BIOS update, did that too. Also, somewhere else on this site there's a post about IRQ's, and how to fix those errors, and I tried that, but I cant find most of the things, like the 'Assign IRQ to USB', 'USB Legacy Support' and 'USB Keyboard Support'.
That would be
http://dmzweb4.europe.creative.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE/,/?St=39,E=0000000000795427,K=3277,Sxi=0,VARSET=ws:h ttp://nl.europe.creative.com/,case=2442
there.
I also tried uninstalling the device, and then re-install, but that didnt work either.
In the devices manager, it states, under other devices, that my Multimedia Audio Controller isnt working, as is my PCI Input Device (they have a yellow questionmark next to them). I've tried to install those drivers countless times, but it cant find any of the drivers, and uninstalling doesnt work either.
(This device is not configured correctly. (Code ))
I'd appreciate it very much if you could help me with this. I've been thinking of buying a new soundcard, but I listened to music this morning, and I cant imagine that it would break down so fast. I've been trying to find a solution for 7 hours now, and still nothing, nothing on the internet at all about this has worked for me. Its a good card too, so I dont want to get a new one
Thanks in advance

Well, the thing is, I bought my pc second-hand, and I never got any cd's for drivers with it. And I'm almost certain the soundcard I have wasnt pre-installed, since it's a creative soundblaster li've! 5. card. But like I said in my previous post, now that I have found the driver (not on the creative site but on a driver-site), its working fine again. Just a little disappointed that I couldnt find the driver on your website
This is a well known issue w/ SB022x cards you did have

Creative Soundblaster Live! 24-Bit External card - noise in right chan

I have a Creative Soundblaster Li've! 24-Bit External card installed on a Dell XPS 40 with 2GB RAM and Windows XP to replace integrated sound that came with the system, a sound problem developed recently that I never noticed before, there is a popping sound in the right channel which isnt loud but noticeable when no other audio is playing, the sound is a fast popping sound like a idling engine, Ive tried updating the Nvidia video drivers, uninstalling software that may have caused conflicts, looking in the bios, I also tried uninstalling the Creative drivers and before installing the drivers again when the system booted and detected the new hardware I could hear the popping noise without any drivers loaded yet, nothing has helped this problem, does anyone have any suggestions of what is causing the noise? Thanks for any helpMessage Edited by Gary040 on -5-2008 07:38 AM

Yes exactly as you mentioned. I have SoundBlaster Li've! 24-Bit Internal and facing the same problem. All is working very good, but only sound in WOW is terrible: it's muffled, degraded and seems to runs only in 22khz.
It is a big irony because i bought this card only for WoW to replace my onboard card and now the old one sounds much better in WoW as the new SB
Anyone with help?
Now it seems that I return my card like you... and people from creative, think about it! WoW is most played game ever!Message Edited by magnetique on 0-06-2006 :24 AM

SoundBlaster LIVE 24BIT.....Microphone ISSU

Alright, Alright...... I have Been playing United Offensi've for quite some time now with an Onboard Soundcard and i just got sick and tired of having to listen to my games through 2 pissant speakers.

I decided it was finally time to get myself something bigger, so i went to staples and purchased a Soundblaster Li've 24Bit Sound Card with a 5. Logitech Surround system, WORKS AMAZING......untill.........................


When i get onto the game or hop into my Voice Server, everytime i push my "Talk" button for my microphone they hear everything my comptuer is doing, wether it be from my AIM sounds, or music in the background......and thats with my headset pluged into my headphone port on my speakers,.....acually well it does it either way , pluged into the headhphone port or unpluged, i thoguht it might have had something to do with my speakers being too loud, and just my microphone was picking up background feedbakc, but NOPE!!!!

The "What You Hear" setting in my "Creative Surround Mixer" seems to be allowing my freinds on the other end to hear every little noise my comptuer makes, If...i turn it all the way down....thinking maybe they wont hear it........ THEY NOW CANT HEAR ME TALK!!!!!.....there is no way around it.....or is there? :angry:

If anyone would be so kind as to help me out with this little problem it would be wonderfully appreciated, i cant handle playing Online games without overwhealming sound and my **bleep** microphone!

Thanks: Cory. *aka* Gafston




Ok dont get desperated , escuse my English , but am not american , please try and open your mic option in the xp sound panel not creative sound panel , you can find it at your control panel , sound and audio devices, enable sound icon on task bar , afther that you sould see a little speaker in the botton right of your desk top , now mute mic setting whit in this panel and run set up audio in you msn messager , that is all mic not li've and enable to use your coms in games , have fun , Bassbait 47th , ahhh run the set uo sound everry time before opening your coms , to enable mic , make sure it is muted at the panel of xp setting then do it

MBOX K9VGM-V after Flashing the BIOS successfully Live Update crashes system

I recently purchased a barbones computer with the K9VGM-V motherboard. After installing all the drivers on the disk, updating Windows 2000 competely through Windows Update I decided to try Live Update. The first thing I updated was my BIOS from Ver. 1.6 to 1.7. The flash was completely successful. However when I went back to Live Update(the latest version btw) the minute I executed the program my system completely crashed! It was like I had hit the reset switch. I decided to format my HD and reinstall everything. The BIOS works fine and the system is entirely stable, but even after starting with a clean slate I tried the Online version of Live Update and the same thing happened. My computer crashed and restarted itself. This happened after the BIOS flash so it must be related to that. I am just not sure how or why. Any suggestions or input?
J.C.

Read Moan Guide
So you have crash only when trying to using LiveUpdate or? If yes just ignore it and do not use LiveUpdate

Soundblaster Live 24bit Prob

Hi i've been having problems with my new Sb li've 24bit card, having problems in some games that i can't seem to remedy was hoping i could get some help or ideas to try.
Heres the problems i have, when playing 2 of my favorite games Il2 Forgotten battles, and World War II Online I experience crackling , some sounds are to faint and some are to loud.. sounds are more loud if i look up appose to looking forward or to the side at objects making the noise.. Some sounds are missing altogether.
I think both these games use Directx for there sounds. Must be a problem with directx.. I've tried everything to fix the problem and nothing makes a diffrence. I've reinstall the drivers 4 times, tried playing with all the settings for the soundcard like speaker settings, equalizer, EaX, bass booster, lowering hardware acceleration for sound in directx, tried diffrent settings in the games setup and nothing seems to help.
I alos have windows Xp Pro fully updated and directx 9.0c, and all other drivers are updated including my motherboard drivers. it seems like to me.. that maybe its not positioning the sounds threw my headphones correctly.. even thou i have headphones selected in speaker settings sounds like its working in surround sound threw my headphones and missing some of it.. i donno.. But anyways thx for any help in advanced.

Yes i updated the drivers for my graphics card as well, i have tried 2 diffrent video card drivers . I've updated every driver for my system and tried some older drivers for my motherboard to. I've tried everything in that knowledgebase article as well over the last couple days and nothing seems to make a diffrence. I don' have another system to try the card in at the moment but today i put my old SB li've Value card back in and tested these games and the sound was perfect.. maybe this card just dosen't work well with certian sound technologys? or maybe its just defecti've i donno.. Is there anything else i can try?
Thx for the reply

Help me with my Creative SoundBlaster Live! 5.1 .

Somebody?
It's quite annoying . . . Everytime I shutdown or restart my PC, the Subwoofer would generate a hum that last through the shutdown and restart process. I have updated the drivers already, gone through the knowledge base section but to no avail.
Another problem is that it often hangs when I am playing Generals, the system will just hang and gives out a continous tones over the speakers.
My PC is powered by Intel Decktop Board D865PERL, Pentium 4 3E Processor, GB Memory. The Sound system is in 5. configurations.
I have also acquired the latest updates from Intel for my BIOS.
Thank you in advance.

WildSwan,
Try doing a cleansweep and reinstall of the sound card to see if perhaps the updated drivers did not install correctly. Follow these instructions to cleansweep:

Onboard SoundBlaster Live 24bit probl

I just recently got a MSI nforce 4 motherbaord (platinum SLI) with onboard Li've 24bit. It works fine for low quality sound, but if i try and utilise it fully in games, like Halo, then it lags and only plays parts of the sound. I was wondering if it could be that the hardware it not fully accelerated but i'm unsure where to find that option.
I'm running XP with the latest drivers. Please help.
Cheers, Mcphie

i guess creatives products are just cack then! all i have read on these forums is how people from a variety of different soundcards, experience this pop and crackle noise. but yet, no proper drivers fix for most! and the fix they suggest rarely seem to work. certainly not for me!
quite frankly, im rather anoyed that creative are being allowed to get away with this. i for one will NOT be buying anything in your range again.

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.

Soundblaster Live 24bit External + Vista h

Ugh, what a nightware this is. Where do I start?
I installed using the installation cd that came with it and upgraded to the "vista" drivers on the creative website.
I have sound, but no CMSS and no working Line In.
Is there a workable solution to this?

I downloaded the file. Unzipped it and converted the iso file with WinAr. It was/looked like the same CD I have. It would not install anything because it did not recognize a soundblaster product,?but when I plugged in the card thru the USB a defalt windows driver was installed. I have been trying this for weeks with no luck. Somehow windows installed a default "usb audio" driver. The sound was all crackily when I played an mp3. I went into the hardware update and updated the driver. Windows found a driver to update with in the C:\windows\systen32 folder. It is now working fine.
Now my only problem is when I restart windows I have to unplug the usb with the soundcard attached then plug it back in when I am back at the desktop. I think there is a conflict at startup and the computer will freeze if the card remains plugged in but I have been living with this ever since I bought the card a year and a half ago. THe only issue is I am worried I will plug it in one of these times and it will not be recognized again. What a pain...

Help please no luck recording vinyl thru line-in port on External USB Soundblaster Live 24bit

Help please! I have connected LP turntable (I am assured which has preamp inbuilt) to line-in port on S/Blaster external using lead inbuilt from?turntable with white/red RCA plugs with a line -in plug converter. Then connected external soundcard?to the notebook USB-USB as per manual. I have tried Creative's Smart Recorder but it shows no sound coming through on Analysis (same with Audiograbber software too). Sound card diagnostics show sound card OK and I can plug in headphones and get output. I am thinking hardware connection issue as I connected direct from turntable to microphone input &?got loud mike low quality recording but I ustand this is not recommended as can blow sound card (and poor receording anyway)?Is there another device I can easily plug into line in to test - or any other ideas gratefully received.
