CS3 - updating sound card

Have a strange issue with my machine and Premiere Pro CS3.
The integrated sound card died some time ago and I have replaced it with another card. Sound works fine through windows. But with PP3 there is an issue. When we are capturing video you can hear the sound fine both from the camera and the computer speakers. But once you have a clip in the program not sound comes out. You can see the audio channel, and the sound levels indicate that something is there.
When I look in preferences under Audio Output mapping I can see what look like the old sound card.
Do I need to reinstall the program to updatet the card or is there a simplier way.
Paul

Bill, thanks for that. It had nothing to do with drivers because the card worked perfectly in all other apps.
The problem was that the ASIO settings were pointing to the wrong card, but it was not obvious how to change them. You article was brillient and the problem is now fixed.
Regards
Paul

Extra sound card no longer blacklisted after update, causing no sound

I'm using ALSA and Pulse Audio, and an ASUS Xonar Essence ST sound card. My ATi video card also has a sound card, which goes to my monitor using HDMI. While the ATi card is in use, the ASUS card doesn't function, so previously I've blacklisted it with
echo blacklist snd_hda_intel | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
Ever since I updated yesterday, the blacklisting has been ignored, despite the line "blacklist snd_hda_intel" being in my modprobe.d/blacklist file.
Did some recent update change the purpose of /etc/modprobe.d? Could I either properly get it to blacklist, or get the ASUS card to be used properly without blacklisting anything?

As far as I remember, all files in /etc/modprobe.d/ must end with .conf extension.

Windows Update installed the drivers for the wrong sound card?

I need serious help with this one.
It all started October 31st when I find that Windows Update lists an update for my sound card - a Sound Blaster Li've! 24bit internal card. I install it, reboot, and realize that my sound is not coming through the speakers (Note, sound was working before I installed this update. I'm not even sure if the sound card is processing to it). I realized that Windows Update seemed to have installed the drivers for the wrong sound card. It installed drivers for "SB Audigy" (it was originally SB Li've!), why they chose to be so generic - I don't know. I later find out that not even Creative's website has this updated driver, but apparently, only Windows Update is issuing this out.
But wait, it gets even more frustrating.
So I don't have System Restore enabled (big resource hog), and I need to go back to the older drivers. I originally do a driver rollback using the Device Manager, which made the drivers go back to what they were before - but still wasn't outputting sound. I think even though the older drivers were being used by Windows, the software that Creative issued wasn't picking up this fact and thought I still using the newer ones for Audigy. So I decided to uninstall everything and start with an actual driver installation executable from Creative's website (SB24_PCDRV_LB__04_0090.exe). What I found out was that if new drivers are detected, I can't actually install over them.
However, if I uninstall the drivers using the Device Manager, it'll automatically install everything - the control panel, the preferences, drivers, etc for the new "SB Audigy" drivers that were issued Oct 3st once I scan for hardware changes. The reason I need to scan for hardware changes is because if I uninstall the drivers from the Device Manager, it'll remove the instance of "SB Audigy" from the list. This causes problems for the installer for the older drivers (SB24_PCDRV_LB__04_0090.exe) because now it thinks there isn't any hardware to install the drivers for (all because I haven't made the Device Manager actually discover my actual sound card, yet unless I press "Scan for Hardware changes" which as a result, will install the newer drivers from Oct 3st automatically. I hope this makes sense so far).
So now I can't uninstall the newer incorrect drivers so I can install the older ones for the actual sound card. Normally I heard that you can change something in the new driver's installation executable to properly uninstall everything. Only problem is, Windows Update doesn't exactly tell you where it's downloading the driver/hardware installation files. I know in the Software Distribution you can find Windows Update stuff downloading there - but I couldn't find the SB Audigy driver update it keeps installing while "scanning for hardware changes" in the Device Manager.
This was incredibly hard to put into detail, so I hope that it makes a little bit of sense. If you need clarification on anything please let me know and I'll do anything to help eliminate the problem. Just remember I have:
Windows 7 x64
Sound Blaster Li've! 24bit
I think the only problem I'd like to solve is - how could I install older drivers if Windows keeps installing the newer ones even after I uninstall them? Because right now, I can't do much unless I know how to get rid of the installation files for the Oct 3st update so it won't have anything to use. Another way to rephrase the question is, how could I get the Device Manager in Windows to display my soundcard as "Multimedia Audio Controller" for as long as I need so I can run SB24_PCDRV_LB__04_0090.exe which will then detect that there is a sound card that can use the drivers and install them properly?
Thanks for your help guys, I hope we can solve this. Because I've done everything I could. Hopefully I don't need to reinstall the operating system just so I can have sound working.

Click on Start> ALL Programs > Creative > Creative Audio Console.
Make sure speakers are set to 5. if that's what you're using. I like to Synchronize with Windows Control Panel. Turn EAX to No effects, and/or turn effects to 0%. On the CMSS 3D Tab, turn the Mode to OFF.

[solved] Pulseaudio doesn't detect sound card after system update

Before a recent system update I had pulseaudio working flawlessly, but after doing a recent system update with pacman -Syu,
pulseaudio no longer sees my sound card and only displays the Dummy audio device. Among the packages updated that I can
remember off the top of my head are the Linux keneral, udev, kmod, instead of trying to roll back my system I figured I would try
to fix the issue. The only thing suggested in the Pulseaudio wiki is that a asound.conf directory is overriding the /etc/asound.conf
file which is not the case on my system.
Looking at the output from lsmod I can see where the kernel modules for the sound card is getting loaded
snd_hda_intel 23375 0
snd_hda_codec 89160 3 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_hda_codec_hdmi
snd_hwdep 6389 1 snd_hda_codec
snd_pcm 74780 3 snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec_hdmi
snd_page_alloc 7153 2 snd_pcm,snd_hda_intel
snd_timer 19544 1 snd_pcm
and looking at the output from the ps command I can see that pulseaudio is getting started
1190 ? S<l 0:00 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start
1195 ? S 0:00 \_ /usr/lib/pulse/gconf-helper

Did the Itunes update fiasco of 2014 kill my sound card?

I have read every post regarding this Apple fiasco but this has been a perfect storm of Apple failure for me, the only reason I opened my Itunes 2 nights ago was because my Ipod of 5 years died and I had to buy a new one, so my love for Apple has diminished greatly in the last 24 hours.
Running: Microsoft windows XP media center edition version 2002 service pack 3.
I know enough about computers to be dangerous, I may have deleted something for the sound card trying to get this Itunes re-install to work. I've been able to follow everything posted like:https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5822688?tstart=30 I have deleted EVERYTHING more than once, restarted MORE than once, I even tried loading an older version of Itunes, but the problem I'm running into is my sound card can't or won't be detected, it was working fine before this fiasco so I'm not sure if it's the re-install that has caused it to be undetected or maybe it just died at the perfect time. I keep getting this message: I tunes has detected a problem with your aiudio/video configuration and playback may not operate properly. I can see video but no sound, I can get into my Itunes library but nothing will play, my sound card doesn't even show up in my devices section anymore.
I read a post that said something about messing with the msconfig and the inetcpl.cpl and the dxdiag in the START/RUN area so I may have done something stupid.
HELP! (Apple hate) HELP!

THe update messed up my 80gb too. I spent over an hour on the phone with Apple care yesterday - and they screwed it up even worse. (I manage music & video from my home computer and my calander from my work computer.) It used to work fine - now I can't even get my work computer to recognize the ipod as a USB drive! If they would just re-post 7.5, I think I could fix it myself - but they took it off the site completely.
I told (both people at) Apple care that this is the kind of crap microsoft pulls. They send out updates with bugs. Apple is supposed to NOT do that! I am so mad right now! I just got this brand new ipod for Christmas.
Today, I am supposed to order my new laptop for work. I have been given the choice of PC or Mac. Until yesterday, I was gun-ho Mac. Now I'm not so sure. I mean - they couldn't fix my new ipod after an hour on the phone? What kind of issues am I going to have with a laptop? The closest Apple store is well over an hour away.
Any suggestions??

Updated Audigy 2 Sound Card Drivers.... now speakers don't mu

I have a Sound Blaster Audigy 2. I updated the drivers for the first time in 3 years yesterday. I'm now using the Driver set: 5.2.4.96.
However, the bad news is that when I plug in my headphones to the USB port, the sounds still comes over the speakers and not over the headphones. The microphone works and I can hear my friends on ventrilo. But games sounds come through the speakers. I checked my settings in the Audio HQ and 'mute speakers when using headphones' is checked. Also, in order for my headset to work at all with ventrilo, I had to default sound device to my headphones and not to the sound card.
Prior to the new drivers, everything worked perfectly. After the drivers install, I'm having problems. Any thoughts as to what is going on?
Thanks.Message Edited by boojiboy on 04-6-200703:43 PM

Last try... bump #3. One additional piece of info, after working on and off on this for over a week, I'm suspicious that the previous driver set didn't not complete uninstall and thus, I have some sort of of driver conflict. I've followed the FAQs to the letter on uninstall and reinstall procedures. No luck.

Automatic update to Tiger and now MBP sound card is not working properly?

A month ago there was an automatic Mac Book Pro OS update to the Tiger OS and since then the sound card on my MBP is popping and clicking during all music playback using the Sibelius music software program. All of my music composition friends (who use MBP and Apple computers) had the same experience at the same time...problems (popping and clicking) began right after a particular OS automatic update. Does anyone else have this problem or have a solution to this Sibelius music playback problem with a recent Mac OS automatic update?

Welcome to the forums!
Yes there are other posts here recently about noise along with some Audio APPs, there might even have been a cure, but I'm on Dial-up & just getting off work, but thought I could give you a hint about searching for it.

Latest Update Causes Problem with Creative Sound Card?

I installed the latest Quicktime update (7.3.1) and Windows Media Player would no longer work, giving me a message that my sound card (Creative Sound Blaster Audigy) was broken. I ran the sound card diagnostics and indeed it failed several of the the test (particularly wav files). I also tried streaming music via my XM radio subscription and that also did not work.
I reverted my system to its previous state (before the Quicktime update) with Norton GoBack, and now everything works again.
Anyone have a similar problem? Is this a bug or perhaps was there a glitch in the installation that caused this?
Thanks,
wasaguru

I'm not having that problem, but I am having a problem of my computer being locked up once it goes into sleep mode.

DC7700 can't detect and install sound card after update to Windows 7

I've been trying to get the sound on my HP DC7700 Ultra Slim desktops to work for a few months now (I'm a teacher at a high school, so I have about 100+ of them to take care of). I've upgraded them from XP to Windows 7, and the computers no longer recognize the sound card.
I have tried installing the Realtek driver from their site and HP's, I've tried updating the UAA architecture as suggested in other posts here and here.
In device manager, all hardware has been detected and correct drivers have been installed, including PCI and chipset drivers.
Randomly, ONE DC7700 with a unique hard drive worked. I painstakingly checked every single driver installed and found the two that were different:
"Realtek High Definition Audio" under "Sound, video and game controllers"
"High Definition Audio Controller" under "System devices"
Pictures of the driver details for both are posted below.
I am completely at a loss as to how to accomplish this successfully, and I appreciate any help. Our school is depressingly poor, and without sound videos are completely useless to them.
Thank you in advance for your time,
Kris Brackebusch

Hi, Kris:
Try reinstalling W7 on one of them that doesn't have audio.
On that model, W7 should be installing a generic HD audio driver that works and then you can install the Realtek HD audio driver either from the dc7700 support page or the latest one from Realtek.
You do not need the MS UAA Bus driver, because that is only for XP.
UAA is included native to Vista and newer versions of Windows.
I do not recommend you install it in an effort to resolve the issue.
I have worked on dc7600's dc7700's and the newer Elite 8xxx models, which all have the Realtek HD audio chip.
Never had a problem getting the sound to work right from the upgrade.
The HD audio is the driver that Windows installs natively.
The Realtek HD audio driver is from Realtek.

T410 - Sound card stopped working after Lenovo System Update

hi all!
yesterday I performed a system update trough the ThinkVantage System Update 3, I chose a complete update (even the BIOS).
After the update, the sound card is not working anymore: everything in the control panel looks fine, volume is up and all's connected, but no sound is coming out, with the exception of the skype system sound when starting/quitting the application...
No system restore is possible (it looks disabled by our IT dept), updated the drivers via windows update, but no help.
Any clue?
Thanks in advance!
Riccardo
Solved!

Sound card cutting out and clicking after 1.6 firm update in windows

I don't know whats going on... but after I ran the firmware update 1.6 on my MBP, my sound card went crazy on the windows partition. The card will put out sound for awhile and then it will turn off and make very annoying clicking noises. I boot to the Mac side and everything is fine. It really ***** because I am a DJ and the number one part of this computer I use intensely is the sound card.... Help! I am going to call apple tomorrow but I think they will not help kindly in windows even with an apple care...

I had experienced this issue on my late 2007 MacBook Pro.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8136560&#8136560
Until this post, I had not heard of it on the new MacBook Pros.
I would guess that this issue has been caused by a driver conflict. As someone else had suggested, the Boot Camp drivers for the new MacBook Pros are in desperate need of an update.
Call Apple Support, and ask them to begin an investigation into this problem. Direct them to this thread. They will give you an investigation number that you can monitor.
Many of us have been asking Apple for updated drivers for Boot Camp. The more we call. The quicker Apple will resolve.
Other driver related issues for Boot Camp include the following link that I have noted.

Good luck, and let us know.

I'm not at all familiar with pulseaudio configuration. Does anyone know of a good way for me to resolve this issue? Have I even identified the correct issue?
UPDATE:
I was able to work around my problem for the moment by symlinking the configuration file to the location that pulseaudio was actually looking for it
# mkdir -p /usr/share/alsa/ucm/HDA\ Intel
# ln -s /usr/share/alsa/cards/HDA-Intel.conf /usr/share/alsa/ucm/HDA\ Intel/HDA\ Intel.conf
Although this does get my sound back, it is a hacky work-around and obviously not ideal. Anyone who knows a bit about pulse configuration, I welcome your input here

I was having the same problem. The funny part was it started happening (and not always) after KDE says that the Intel HDA device is "gone" and asking me to remove it from my configuration. Even by saying no it wouldn't work. Killing pulseaudio with
pulseaudio -k
would have everything fallback to Alsa but starting pulseaudio again wouldn't work.
Rebooting right away doesn't take care of the issue either but after a while the problem would go away...
Any inputs would be appreaciated!

"A How-To" on the steps to FIX the Problem of NO Sound Card DETECTION with AUDIGY 2 and Win XP

Note#: When restarting the PC each time, shut off the main power switch on the Power Supply then back on.
Note#2: You will need the Windows XP CD WITH the SP2 on it or have the download SP2 Install file from MS on your PC. I have it on CD.
. Remove the sound Card
2. Use the Removal/Un-installation Procedures for the drivers in Knowledge Base Under Windows XP Step by step. Restart to get all the files deleted in the Creative folder if necessary.
Here is the (Solution ID#) for the Uninstallaion found in the Creative.com Knowledge Base: SID72 "How to uninstall Sound Blaster drivers and applications?"
Alternati'vely, Click on the Sound Blaster Picture Box under the Knowledge Base Main Search Page and the article should be in the resulting list.
3. Use the DCProSetup_.exe from http://files.trunetworks.com/utilities/
Use it carefully Selecting [Creative] then Check the box for Muntiple Cleaning Filters, and remove the Creative Audio Drivers by Clicking on Start.
4. Go into the Registry by Typing Regedit in the Start>Run.. Menu
Navigate and remove the Entry for CTCMSGo.exe, it is running in the back ground otherwise and i believe it interrupts the re-installation of MediaSource Files.
HKEY_CURRENT USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
The file link/tag, it will be on the right half of the screen, Delete it. CTCMSGo.exe=(Creative Technologies Media Source Go)
5. Restart the PC, dont forget to switch Power Supply to off while powered down and on before powering back up.
6.Go to the Win XP SP2 CD or the file downloaded, select re-install but choose UPDATE, not New Installation. Let the Install run and update your pc, this procedure has no data loss or settings changes in Windows.
7. Restart PC
8. Turn off PC and install the Audigy 2 Card. Then turn on the PC. At this point you might get a plxcore.plx Error of file missing. Not to worry.. copy the file from within the Creative Drivers CD and paste it into the Creative Folder In C:\Program Files\Creative
The Knowledge base Article on the steps is: SID287 "Error: Program could not load because Plxcore.plx cannot be found"
9. Power up and see if you get PCI Device, and Audio Controller Detetion. If you dont then do the following:
A) Remove the Sound Card and Re-install the Win XP SP2 Update a number of times ( I did this about 5 times until detection) Each time restart and install the Sound Card into any of the empty PCI Ports until detection.
If that does not work after a number of times try the following:
B)Power off and switch the PCI slot of the Sound Card (to all the PCI slots if necessary with complete power off each time) Without Re-installing XP SP2 Update.
0. After you get Detection, The Windows Auto Installer for Drivers will pop up..select Find Drivers Automatically, then Install then install the drivers it finds. It will put in some basic Audigy Drivers from the CD or online i'm not sure where it gets them from. Keep your Driver CD in the CD Dri've.
.Restart the PC, then install the Drivers and Media Source Files from the CD (it may not all get installed and may give an error and you have to shut down and re-install the drivers and Media Source over again and over again so it fills in the gap of missing files/drivers until it all works without deleting the previously installed parts).
2. Only install this update from the File/ Downloads Section on the Creative website: EAX4DRV_AUDIGY2__84_50.exe Dated 29 July 04. The new beta one that was released is what started all my troubles, so plz i urge you to wait for it to be official.. unless you really want to test it out at your risk.
And there you have it.. in 8 Hours and some ideas from friends and relati'ves concerning detection problems of other hard ware they have had i decided to play Roulette all night and this combo works. I had to play Roulette switching the PCI slots (5 of them), and then towards the end play Roulette with the Creative Driver CD install... until they all work perfectly. WHEW!!!
Notice: I hope if you are really ticked off at having no sounds and want to try this at your own risk and responsiblity go ahead, and I wish you luck. None of the proedures are too out of the ordinary. I dont know if it will work for you but it worked for me and maybe it will possibly for other similar Sound Cards as well.. like ZS or Li've! etc. with similar problems. Happy Sound Blasting!!!
My Specs: P4 3.2Ghz Prescott on Intel D875PBZ MB, pqi GB PC3200 Dual Channel RAM, Win XP SP2, Plextor CD-R and DVD Dri'ves, BFG 6600GT OC 28MB and the Audigy 2 Sound CardMessage Edited by Flying_Ghost on 05-04-2005 09:38 PM

Thanks for pointing that out, it was not apparent on the day i used them and wrote the How-To. The links have been replaced with the SID# (Solution ID #) and the title given for the Article.
Have fun

Ok it seems that I would have no sound cards listed by aplay -l if I logged in from lightdm, If I logged in from a tty I would get sound cards listed from aplay -l.
I think lightdm 1:1.6.1-2 fixed my problem, everything works now, Id like to know why/how this happened if anyone knows? Thanks.

[Wine] Sound card selecting issues

Since a month or too, after one of my weekly updates, wine started to select the wrong sound card for its audio playback. Thus, alas, no sound in wine applications.
When selecting the audio tab in winecfg, I get the following console output:
fixme:mixer:ALSA_MixerInit No master control found on HDA NVidia, disabling mixer
fixme:jack:JACK_drvLoad error loading the jack library libjack.so.0, please install this library to use jack
I don't use jack, so that can be ignored. The HDA NVidia - the S/PDIF on my NVidia video card I presume, I don't use either. What I do use is my onboard sound chip in combination with alsa, which works perfectly on non-wine applications.
So, I got the following set up:
$ cat /proc/asound/modules
0 snd_hda_intel
1 snd_hda_intel
$ aplay -l

Note that I already blacklisted snd_hda_codec_nvhdmi, which was in the above output before blacklisting.
Also note the weirdness of having two identical modules for card 0 and card 1. I guess the chip on the video card is Intel as well. I this possible?
Now the list of things I tried, all without a positive result.
First, I completely reconfigured my alsa set up.
Secondly, I blacklisted snd_hda_codec_nvhdmi in /etc/rc.conf
Thirdly, I used the info from http://wiki.winehq.org/UsefulRegistryKeys to force wine to use card0:
AutoScanCards=N
AutoScanDevices=N
DeviceCTL1=hw:0
DevicePCM1=hw:0
Fourthly, I edited .asoundrc to force alsa to use only card0:
# define soundcard to use, hw0:0
pcm.!default {
type hw
card SB
# device 0
# define control device to use, hw0:0
ctl.!default {
type hw
card SB
# device 0
Finally, I tried the above globally in /etc/asound.conf
I even waited two wine updates to see if that would fix it.
All above did not solve the sound issue and winecfg still gives the same error output as before.
Note that the sound works fine in everything, except in wine.
Anyone has any ideas or insight?

I will follow some of your steps and research a bit to see if I can find something.
Please remember to post if you get it working!

Edit:
Seems the card is not well specified in your /etc/asound.conf
% cat /etc/asound.conf
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm {
type hw
card 0
device 3
I think you should put the device also, as shown on your "aplay -l". Try and let me know (I will try asap).
Edit: Forget what I just said and just follow strictly the wine wiki page. In my case it was a problem when installing lib32-openal from the repos. It gave an error and did not install the first time, but I thought it was removed from the repos and wasn't needed anymore.
