Help! How to install/update my Creative SoundBlaster Audigy 2 Model SB0

Hi there,
Sorry if this question is nai've, as I am new to this PC stuff
I got an old Dell Dimension XPS (2003; 3GHz) (no driver CD)
I hear no sound after connecting to a pair of cheap Antec Lansing speaker with cable
My XP sees the driver as Creative Audigy Audio Processor (WDM)
My Driver software see it with Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Audio Driver
I opened the box, and see it as a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Model SB 0240
Where do I get the SB driver in order to install correctly?
I tried to download the driver Audigy 2 Value at the website:
http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/download2.asp?MainCategory=&Product=0653&dlcentric =9497&Product_Name=Audigy+2+Value&filetype=&OSName =Windows+XP
But after installing the driver, there still has no sound.
Can you please help?
Many thanks

?Your card is not "udigy 2 Value"? but "Audigy 2 Platinum" series card. So if you try install drivers go from CT support then select Audigy 2 Platinum there. IIRC, there are/were some problems to install original drivers for OEM cards ... resolution was/is to go to the vendors (dell in this case) support pages and install?drivers from there if you find ones. You may also try to install?HP OEM driver or patched Audigy installation. You can find both by searching here. jutapa?

  • Creative Soundblaster Audigy 2 Zs help

    Before I start rambling on about my problem here are my specs (BTW I'm not incredibly computer literate; my dad helped me install everything before I left for school):Cpu: Intel Duo Processor 2.66 GhzRAM: .5 GB DDR2Video Card: ATI Radeon 9600 (soon to be one of their newer models)OS: Windows XPSound Card: Creative Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS?Ok so I was reinstalling everything after I had to format my computer. I get through installing my creative sound card and figure everything went great. I was playing my music when I had realized that I forgot to configure my sound card for them, as I was getting mono instead of stereo (was only playing out of left speakers). So I go into speaker setup and click on "calibrate speakers" or something like that. Anyway, the speaker calibrator says that It could not be ran for some reason (i forget). I figure that it wasn't working because I hadn't updated anything yet. I update, and I still get the same message. So I reinstalled the software and updated it again and now when I try to run ANY of my creative software related to the sound card (I.E. EAX console, Speaker Setup) it says that "The Audio device supported by this software is not detected. The Application will now shut down."? Now remember that I'm not great with computers, so my solution now will probably sound stupid. But anyways I figured that I had installed the wrong sound card software (it gives me three choices on the disc). I uninstall everything and choose another setting. I still got the same problem. So I try the third choice and I get the same problem. Any suggestions? I've tried all three choices and I still get the same problem.

I currently have driver v 5.2.4.445 and date 8.7.04 I've tried to install this from the Creative site: SBA2_PCWDRV_LB__84_55-R.exe but keep getting a "setup could not detect and sound blaster audigy 2 on your system" error. The driver on the Dell site is: Creative Labs SoundBlaster Audigy 2 ZS: R92022.exe Thanks! Tony.
    Hi
    You may first need to patch the driver package by using ctcomp.exe to get std. drivers (eg. not Dell specific) installed to your Dell PC. Search this forum after ctcomp.exe --> there you'll find some instructions too.
    You can also find a link to the latest drivers available (I personally use Audigy 4 drivers from november 2005 --> can be found from creative support pages) by searching this forum (I think the latest WHQL version is .~62 for the original version).

  • HELP how to install OSX on power book ge prismo running OS 9.2

    HELP how to install OSX on powerbook G3 prismo running OS 9.2  help.

    First you need to install firmware update 4.1.8. Download at http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1395
    I used to have a 400MHz G3 Pismo model running Tiger 10.4.11. It ran quite well, however videos will be very slow.
    On your Pismo, what is the processor speed, how much RAM and what size hard drive? I maxed out the RAM on mine & installed a 40GB hard drive.
    Tiger install DVDs are in short supply. Tiger is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available for $129 by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753). For other sources, do a Google search for MA453Z/A (10.4.6), MA190Z/A (10.4.3) and M9639Z/A (10.4) . Also look on eBay. Be sure & buy a retail version (black with silver X) and not a model specific version (gray) See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1976068 Can I use another Mac's system restore disc on my Mac?
    Also check these web stores: http://www.lacomputercompany.com/cgi-bin/rpcart/index.cgi?command=dispitem&type= sku&sku=19521  http://www.allmac.com/shop/index.php?cPath=5_10003
    After you install the base 10.4.x, update to the final Tiger version 10.4.11. Here's the link for the 10.4.11 combo update http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
    Look at this link Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger Installing Software Support Page

    You can also download the Tiger Installation and Setup Guide

    When you upgrade the OS, do it via Archive & Install. See About the Archive and Install feature http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1710 Be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings. Also, repair permissions before and after the install.

  • How do I update my Creative Cloud Student and Teacher Edition (one-year) now that I am no longer a student? It is about to expire. Thank you.

    How do I update my Creative Cloud Student and Teacher Edition (one-year) now that I am no longer a student? It is about to expire and I need to continue working on Photoshop and InDesign, among others. Is there a way for me to update my package, and if not, what should I do to keep my CC running? Thank you.

    Hello jeannelouise,
    first I'll use the conditions in German language:
    "Frage: Können Schüler/Studierende oder Lehrkräfte die Student and Teacher Editions nach dem Abschluss bzw. nach dem Ausscheiden weiterverwenden?
    Antwort: Ja. Jede berechtigte Person kann eine Adobe Student and Teacher Edition weiterverwenden. Die Adobe Creative Cloud kann für die Dauer des Abonnements weiterverwendet werden."
    What means something like:
    "Question: Can pupils/students or teachers continue using the Student and Teacher Editions after graduation or after leaving?
    Answer: Yes. Any eligible person can use Adobe Student and Teacher Edition. The Adobe Creative Cloud can be used for the duration of the subscription."

  • Creative SoundBlaster Audigy Advanced MB software activation probl

    Hello!?I bought?a software named Creative SoundBlaster Audigy Advanced MB, when I ordered my notebook Inspiron 720 from DELL, on the 8th? of September, 2007. They provided a CD for the software, which I installed, and it worked. But then later that day (when I recieved the laptop), I formatted the hard-disk for the following reasons - ) It only had 2 partitions for the entire dri've, one of which was a recovery partition, and I wanted to create more.2) I wanted to remove MediaDirect.3) I wanted to remove bloatware that DELL gave me with it, ie, DELL Quickset, DELL Support, DELL this, DELL that, Norton AntiVirus etc.4) I wanted Vista installed by my way. After I had done everything I wanted, I started to re-install the Creative software, the same way like I did before. But this time, when it took me to the transaction page and asked me for the reason of re-installing this software, it said "The CD Key has expired."?I have tried 2 different browsers,?I have cleared my cache, I have penta-checked my CD-Key before each install and have done anything a Computer Software engineer (me) would do, with the help of the Internet as well. But my every effort went in vain. Then, I did something I didn't want to do, I contact DELL technical support. Their solutions ranged from installing the latest drivers (yes, drivers for a software), to removing and re-installing the latest Internet Explorer (yes, they asked me to REMOVE IE) to put the HARDWARE in some other machine. Quite clearly, the 4 support executi'ves I talked to there at DELL had no clue as to what is going on and what is the problem. Then, after a 2 hours chat with another one of them, I was told that they just provide the software, and it is Creative's duty to handle everything later and asked me to talk to you. The email support page do not have the option of support for this software, so I selected some other product but sent my problem.
    It would be very nice to know if there exists a solution to this problem, and how should I approach it. It has only been 20 days since I bought this software. Thank you!

    Finally, I got a reply from the email team, and they sought some further information, which I duly provided. Then, they provided me with a new CD Key. But here is the thing, they say after 3 times of re-installing the software, I will have to pay for it. What?Why would I pay for something which I bought, again and again? The whole world knows about Windows Vista, how incompatible it is with more than 80% of the software, and it will be the same till SP is released. I have since this Sunday gone have re-installed vista 4 times, once due to the fact that AHCI in the BIOS was not enabled by default, and I had to re-do the installation, then it was SATA drivers not presentonthe Vists disk, then the nVidia drivers had problem with Vista and it crippled it and won't go and then the Windows Media Player , quite clearly still not fully functionable, made my system bust. And I can say that it will happen again, so why do I have to pay some part of the software's price again? I am not using it on any other machine, and that is checked by it's CRC checker anyways, I am not using it for any business project, which shouldn't be a problem even if I did, as I own it. If any of you guys have an answer to this, please let me know.
    Thank you, and have a very nice day all!

  • Creative Zen Plus & Creative Soundblaster Audigy 4. Can the two be linked in any w

    Hello and good morning. I've an extensi've collection of music consisting of 35,000 tracks which I play through my Creative Soundblaster Audigy 4 via my hi fi system. In order to access these tracks when using the Creative Zen Plus, I notice it calls up only the file name which is a time consuming effort to get tracks transferred. To your knowledge,is there a way to use the Creative Soundblaster to 'drag and drop' individual tracks straight into the Creative Zen using the 'burn now' facility?
    Any help and assistance would be highly appreciated. Thank you very much indeed for your help.
    Alan L.

    Didn't your soundcard come with MediaSource? If so, you can transfer the tracks that have already been converted to MP3 or WMV format directly to your player. MediaSource also displays the content by ID3 Tag titles once they've been entered into the Music Library.
