Driver quest

I just bought the blaster audigy 2 zs. After install I checked for updates which the site said there was and it went ahead and installed them. My question is, I noticed driver updates went in update, did I need to delete previous drivers before update? I've been having screen freeze problems with sound leaving first, then Nascar 2003 crashing or rebooting PC. I have deleted all video drivers reinstalled lastest version from nvidia so I guess I'm looking more towards the soundcard being the problem. Before I just had onboard sound. The only thing I did there before install of soundcard was disable onboard sound in Bios. Having problems in other games also.
Thanks,
Happy New Year!

No answer after more than a week? Cmon guys.....customer service.....

SB Live 5.1 for Dell Vista driver questi

I've been reading this board and though many Sound Blaster issues are covered on it I don't think the specific issues I am having were discussed. Pardon me if they were. I have a Dell Dimension 4600 with the SB Li've 5. card for Dell. After updating my computer with a clean install of Vista Home Premium Vista did not recognize my card as a Soundblaster but as a "mulitmedia device". For a day or so I had no sound until suddenly Windows Update provided a driver for the Soundblaster 5., installed it and I had sound again. OK, not as good as before (no mixers, etc) but stereo sound and both my speakers and my subwoofer were functioning properly. Then, for reasons I won't get into here, I had to completely reinstall Vista again, once again a clean install. This time, after several days of no sound, Windows update did not provide any drivers. So I installed the original drivers provided by Dell and it installed the SB card and it worked, at least until I started getting BSODs and I was forced to uninstall it. Once again back to a "multimedia device" in Device Manager I tried every which way of getting MS to install its driver again with no luck. So this afternoon I installed drivers for xp and an update patch, both downloaded here from Creative and once again the SB works, though I have disabled it to avoid more blue screens. My questions:? Can I remove the drivers without removing the Sound Blaster card as a device in Device Manager so that Vista's Windows Update?will see it as a Sound Blaster card without a driver and provide the drivers as it did during the first installation? After I installed the Creative drivers I tried, though Device Manager, updating the drivers by having Windows Update search for them and the response I got from Windows Update was that I "have the latest drivers", clearly wrong. OK, Creative is not supporting the SB Li've 5. in Vista and I cannot use the Kx drivers because they do not support the Dell OEM Sound Blaster. Fooling Windows update seems to be the only way I can get around buying a new sound card at this point. Anyone have any suggestions?

Kx help files say the Sound Blaster OEM for Dell is not supported and I already tried it. I think I may have stumbled on something because the card now seems to be operating properly and though Device Manager lists the Creative driver for the card if you look inside at the Drii'ver Details, among the Creative files listed are two files by Microsoft, dmk.sys and portcls.sys that are clearly marked "vista_rtm", so somehow I may have gotten a mix of Creative and MS drivers since I have the very limited "mixer" that comes with the Vista SB driver. I am no techie, not by a long shot, but as long as the card works and I get no blue screens and no reports back from Security Manager complaining about a conflict I am going to leave everything just as it is. I don't play games and just need a sound card that works. It actually sounds pretty good now. I wish there was a mixer and bass/treble control but I can li've without it, especially since drivers really aren't finished for Vista. Thanks for your suggestions.

Audigy 2 ZS I/O & driver questi

I'm trying to use this Audigy 2 ZS as a mixerless frontend to record with Cakewalk
Sonar. In Cakewalk I can only see one pair of inputs available. Can I use both the
input on the PCI card and the Aux 2 or the Mic input on the breakout box at the same
time? How do I get all the inputs recognized? I thought using the ASIO driver would
help but it makes me switch the audio rate to 48K instead of 44.. Does the ASIO driver
only work at 48k? What are the correct drivers to use for recording into Sonar?
Thanks,
JD

Audigy 2 Zs do have another ASIO driver for 24-bit/96 kHz. You need to set it acti've through Sonar Options..Audio..Drivers tab (when ASIO is selected as device). Unselect all I/O drivers there and then select those 24/96 I/Os. NOTE: 24/96 mode is for line sources only so, no Mic input w/ this driver w/o external mic pre-amp through line input.
Audigy cards gives best quality w/ 96 kHz so, it's best if you use it in your projects ... you can then, after final mixdown (to 24/96 WAV file), use software like Voxengo r8brain for SRC (96 kHz ->44. kHz) and dithering (24-bit->6-bit) w/ lowest quality loss (SRC and dithering made w/ Sonar don't give as good results).
W/ ASIO 24/96, or any other than ASIO 6/48 driver, you can record from one source at once only. W/ ASIO 6/48 you should be able to record from all separately listed sources simultaenously and w/ kX drivers maybe from couple sources more.

Installing a new driver quest

I noticed there are new drivers (/06) out there for the SB Audigy cards. My question is, do I need to uninstall the existing drivers first? Or, do I just install new downloaded drivers over top?
I know with video card drivers that you need to uninstall the old ones first...
Thanks for any input!

Creative is, uh, different.
You better just uninstall Audio Console, reboot, and run the new driver update (which also installs Audio Console.)
That's what I did. Works perfect. They uninstall the old driver, ask you to reboot (say yes), then install the new driver and Audio Console. Then they ask you to reboot (say yes), and this is done before Windows Startup programs run so your virus scanner and stuff shouldn't interfere. Just make sure you shut that down before initially running the download setup so the first part goes right.
Uninstalling Creative stuff has often caused unpleasant effects when trying to install it again. Like "No SoundBlaster audio hardware installed, please install such and run setup again," and the like. Sometimes only "format c:" fixes this!
Make sure you also download and install the DVD Audio update after installing the new driver.

Beta Driver Quest

I've seen quite a few threads about beta drivers and am willing to try them since the normal channels of driver installation I have been attempting over the past two nights are failing me. Are these a self extracting executable or do you need the original CDROM? (And if they are a self extracting executable, then Creative, PLEASE LET IT REMAIN THAT WAY FOREVERMORE!)

To clarify - I am talking about the Audigy 2 beta drivers that are talked about here -

SB audigy 2 ZS platinum i/o drive quest

hi i have the audigy 2 ZS platnium and i do not use the i/o dri've. my question is, if i remove the dri've will my soundcard still function properly? thanksMessage Edited by xjdmb6a2six on 0-2-2006 05:3 AM

Yes, the card itself will work fine, you won't be able to use the remote or any of the inputs/outputs on the dri've (of course), but the card itself will be fine.

Live! Drive Quest

I have a Sound Baster Li've! Platinum 5.. I have my input connected to Aux 2 and headphones connected to the headphone jack of the Li've! Dri've. Is it possible to record through Aux 2 and also hear the sound through the headphones?
Thanks.
Robert

What i was saying was the Audigy card has limited options in Vista. The Li've dri've also works (which is a bonus)?but doesn't mute the speaker sound when the earphones are plugged in. But hey! i am prepared to buy the New X-Fi card if it's worth it. I was hoping for some?good information & help if possible.
Like a lot of peolpe?have been saying they wouldn't buy from Creative again...so should i?Will they bring out a new card that is fully compatible with Vista........so should i wait's?I'm not a gamer i really just use the card for music TV?& films. So as i said earlier i would be very grate ful for any comments, help etc?I found your comments a little negati've to a polite st time request for help?Anyone else?CheersWinni??

Using an old MBox (by DigiDesign/Avid with USB) as an audio interface.

Hello,
I've been using my old iMac (2004 vintage, running OS X10.4) for years to make my (guitar) music recordings, using an older version of ProTools as software and an MBox (DigiDesign/Avid) as the audio interface.
Now that I have a new MB Pro running the latest OS X, I'm contemplating upgrading my recording platform to this latest version of Logic Pro X. It seems like the right way to go and the software appears to be loaded with all the right features.
But, I would like to keep my old MBox as the audio interface. It's a very solid, 2 input unit and plenty versatile enough for my guitar recording needs. It also provides phantom power for my condenser mics. (Something that the Symphony I/O unit from Apogee lacks in spite of its high price).
This early version of MBox has a USB 2.0 interface which would be compatible with my Thunderbolt ports, and plenty fast enough for audio transmission.
QUestion:
Do you envision any compatibility issues with this MBox as an Audio Interface unit when working with this latest Logic Pro X software? Anything to watch out for?
Ultimately I want to avoid having to get a new interface just because of the software change from Pro Tools to Logic X, especially since it's been so good and reliable to me, and still works great.
Many thanks in advance for any hints, comments and insights!
Andre

Here is a little update to to my ongoing Mbox driver quest.
I downloaded the drivers (as stated on the Avid site: Last Updated : July 9, 2013) for my legacy FW interface (Mbox 2 Pro) from here:
http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/download/en379411
Installed the drivers, no interface attached to my computer. After the re-start I connected the Mbox and it was recognized in Audio MIDI Setup without any fuzz. Then I started Logic 9 and sure enough after taking a brief moment to evaluate MIDI drivers the whole OS crashed on me in a very severe way:

But this was no surprise at all! After rebooting and repairing disk permissions I gave ProTools 9 a try and… in all its glory there it was. Now, encouraged by this success, I firmly double-clicked the LX icon and lo and behold, without a hitch! After that Logic 9 also without any complaints. This has made my day after all!
May I draw your attention to the fact that I didn't took any action to mend anything (except permission repair). So what has happened, I ask myself? Has the ML OS the power to heal itself? I'm truly puzzled.
Until further notice: on this MacPro, this Mbox 2 Pro is supported by ML and LX!
BTW, if you care to choose MOTU hardware to work on, you will not regret it I'm sure. They have never ever left me standing in the cold, driver-wise or support-wise! Two things I can not say about Apogee, Avid/Digi and some more starting with the letter A ……
Good luck!

EZ Quest Firewire 400 ext drive works in 10.4 (PPC) but won't mount in 10.6 (Intel)

I have an EZ Quest external FireWire 400 drive. Was working fine on my MDD Mac running OS X 10.4.11. NOW, when I hook it up to my iMac running OS X 10.6.8, it will not mount. Tried different ports. Tried device on and off at boot. Doesn't show up on desktop or in sidebar of finder window or in System Profiler. Drive powers up, but won't mount. Please help. Thanks. Dennis

I have the same problem. Two different EZQuest Quad interface drives suddenly won't mount on my 2010 iMac (Core Duo) via the firewire 800 or 400 ports. If I use a USB cable, both drives mount as normal, but I need the Firewire 800 ports to stream audio samples for Logic.
Both of these drives were working fine for over a year until I upgraded recently to 10.6.8 on the iMac and then tried to use one of the drives yesterday with a new 2012 MacBook Pro (10.7.4). The drive mounted once on the MacBook Pro, then disappeared and now will not mount on either the MacBook Pro or my iMac.
I tried resetting the PRAM and SMC on the iMac, but the drives still won't mount via firewire. The fact that both EZQuest drives still mount via USB indicates this is a firewire problem particular to Mac OS 10.6.8 and 10.7 rather than an external drive problem. It also seems that many people are experiencing this regardless of the external drive brand. Does anybody know how to fix this?

Help me please I really messed up,I was messing around with my fathers MacBook Pro 5,4 Intel Core2Duo 2.5Ghz and I deleted the recovery partition aswel as anything else left on the drive,so now when it starts or turns on all I see is a folder with a Quest

Thanks myklthebrain

Oh, the irony of referring to yourself as "myklthebrain". Make an appointment, at the nearest Apple store, with an Apple Genius, and hope that (s)he can sort it out.

I have 3 questions,Audio/Video Remote Control HID driver windows 8 fails to install code 32, trying to use usb tether connection rather then using WiFi to connect Laptop and iPhone. can only connect using wifi. Last quest. about the hotspot bar.

In device manager it shows an error code 32' using iPhone 5 related to Apple Tv I believe is when this started, I am thinking I can DL the file and install
biut I am not sure how to properly do this.
Also I use my LTE to tether (paid) to my LapTop as well, The issue I am having, I cannot get the USB to work as a network connection. However using the WiFi method works fine but I rather use the sync cable at times such as when I am charging the phone and/or wishing to not trainsmit my ssid for others to see even though I do use a password.
Last question about using the built in WyFi tether connection, Is it posable to remove or ake the annoying blue indicater bar at the top disappear? This blocks from doing certain tasks that forces me to shut off the HotSpot app. to allow me to pull down the info bar at the top, Please Help Thanks

I just made a post with the exact same problem m8

Quick driver install questi

Do I need to uninstall my old X-FI drivers before installing the new drivers? or just install over them?

Thanks Sunshyn....I went to re-visit the issue just last night and the computer power supply has failed!! It won't fire up at all so it has to go the repair shop for that issue. I did read the instructions you provided and look forward to trying the solution but it will have to wait for another day. I'm sorry...but I thank you for your reply as I have never seen a fix like this for similar issues with different equipment so I really want to try it out. Thank you!!

Wont let me install tiger on panther on the hard drive

Hello,
I recently obtained a 14" 800mhz ibook g3 with 256 mb of ram from a friend. The reason that they gave it to me in the first place becuase the hard drive crashed and they never bothered fix it. When I got I turned it on, the drive spun up then the computer shut down. I inserted a tiger install cd from my imac g5 and booted from the disk. When the installer ran it told me that tiger could not be installed on this disk. I went to disk utility and tried to repair the disk and it failed every time, erased it, partitioned it, tried everything. I finally convinced my self that the hd was shot. So I went out and bought a 60gb notebook hard drive and installed it myself. Once installed I booted from the tiger cd and ran the installer. It told me that the software was not able to be installed on this computer. I dont know why is said that it the computer seems to meet the specs of tiger. Well I also tried to install panther, when I ran the installer and got to the drive selection screen there was my new hard drive but there was a red stop sign with an exclimation mark on the bottom right and corner of the drive icon. Becuase of this it would not let me continue. I ran disk utility and repaired and everything. I am stumped. Please help me. I am also not sure what version of osx is on there because the owner does not know.
Again the machine is a...
ibook g3 800 mhz
256 mb ram installed
60gb hard drive.
Thanks
- Peter
ibook g3
Edit... Today I when ibook beeped three times when I started it up. After reading some of the apple docs, I learning how thought that it had something do to with the ram. I took it out and then placed it back in. Ran the installer and panther is currently installing!

Hi, Peter.
Are you sure you have the hard drive set as master? There are jumper settings for the hard drive that may not be set correctly.

My external Firewire drive keeps coming up as read only after reboot.

Hello everyone,
I have a perplexing problem that just cropped up yesterday. I have an iMac (9,1) running Mac OS X 10.6.7. I've had the machine about a month now. I have an external 500GB Firewire 800 drive that holds all my iTunes music files. This was previously an internal drive in my G4MDD that I installed in an external exclosure I got from OWC. It's an EZ QUEST enclosure with an Oxford chipset. The drive is formatted Journaled HFS+, and I had reformatted it and copied all my files back over using Carbon Copy Cloner when I installed it in the enclosure. The drive is set in the Get Info window to "ignore ownership on this volume", and I have read/write permissions on the drive and the enclosing folders, including the iTunes folder. I can read the files, just not write to any directory on the drive.
Everything had been working as expected until yesterday when I started up the Mac and went to download a Podcast. The Mac informed me that it couldn't download the file because I didn't have write permissions. I checked the drive in the Get Info window, and everything was set correctly, but I noticed that I couldn't change the ownership options, as they were grayed out.
I fixed the problem by running DiskWarrior 4.2 on it, and rebuilt the directory. After that the drive was fine; until I started up today and was faced with the same situation. I was able to fix it again in the same manner, but would like to get to the bottom of the problem. A few other bits, the drive was recently defragmented with Drive Genius 3.1, and both that and DW and Disk Utility say the volume is OK.
I've been using Macs professionally and at home since '93 and this is my 5th Mac since that time. So I know my way around them, and I'm stumped!
Any ideas?

Oh, as part of this, not sure when the change was made, OSX used to keep the mounted volume name in /Volumes, even if the volume was ejected. Would cause an occasional problem - but very rare. I notice now that ML seems to create/delete these mountpoints automagically - and that's part of the problem. They get incorrect permissions when the volume mounts, and I (user I'm logged in as), can't write to the volume without some background shenanigans.
My process is this:
Unmount problem volume
Drop to terminal, and "sudo mkdir /Volumes/<mounted_volume_name>"
Remount volume via Disk Utility (you now get a "<mounted_volume_name> 1" - with CORRECT permissions)
Unmount the volume again
Remove the created directory (i.e. undo step 2)
Remount the volume - 99.9% of the time that seems to fix it.
Reboot to be sure - and it stays for a while - then at some point becomes a problem again.
Not sure if it's something in ML that's an issue - or something in iTunes or iPhoto (but can't see how they would affect the permissions when the system reboots and you login)
