How to manually install driver? Not detecting sound c

Hi,
My problem is when installing off the cd and off the downloaded driver it will not detect a creative product. I have li've! 5. with windows SP2. All I want to do is install the driver, doing it the windows search way does not work.
I want do MANUALLY do it, where are the sound card drivers located in windows so I can extract the files to there?
KX project makes my front speakers sound like rear so that is not a fix.

How to manually install drivers. Explore your installation CD or also the extracted creative downloaded web drivers (Use winrar to extract the exe file to your hard dri've)?Location of the "Creative Driver Update Utility"?X:\Audio\Drivers\?Double-click the file "Setup.exe"
Make sure "Driver Installation" box is checked and also check the box "Overwrite existing shared Creative audio driver files"?Click "OK"?This will take sometime to install the drivers. You'll be?asked to reboot?your computer. Thats it!

DVD-Audio and "can not detect sound blaster card" with Audigy2 Va

I recently purchased an "Audigy2 Value" card from an eBay user, because I recently purchased some DVD-Audio discs. I downloaded the Audigy2 drivers from the website, and the Creative MediaSource player. 5. Surround sound worked fine for me, though sometimes the driver would reset to the default 2/2. sound and I would have to re-select 5. sound, which was annoying.
Then I was completely unable to get the MediaSource player to recognise my DVD-Audio discs, and the EAX functionality of the player would never work. The EAX logo never appeared in the player. When I tried installing the MediaSource player from an install disc, I got the message "can not detect sound blaster card". Then I discovered the world of EEPROM problems.
I followed advice from some other threads, including using ScanPCI to get information on the card, which yielded the following result.
When installed on my machine (Asus A7A266 motherboard) the ScanPCI reads:

(Just a note: above you can clearly see that it does not say I have an Audigy, it thinks it is a SBLi've. Is this normal? The card IS an Audigy 2, it says so on the card.)
So, I put the card back on my own PC, thinking this has fixed my EEPROM, but I get the same as before. Subsystem ID 0002h. And of course the install software will not detect the card.
I realise that I could go back to using the web drivers, but this still leaves me with MediaSource not recognising the card and not enabling DVD-Audio or EAX, which is why I bought the card in the first place!
I have heard that the VIA chipset is possibly to blame for the EEPROM problems on the Audigy cards, and certainly it seems like it is not permanent, since it gave different information on the other PC. So now I am seriously considering getting a new motherboard.
Do other motherboards cause this same problem? I don't want to buy another board and get the same trouble. All I want is to be able to install my MediaSource and have it recognise my card so I can listen to my DVD-Audio discs.
Cheers,
Russ.

Figured out my problem. Installing the drivers from the web to begin with was a bad idea. They just did not work properly with the card.
The "card not found" problem has gone as well, after installing it in another PC. I am also using the proper install disc now, as the other one I was using turned out to not be for the Audigy 2 value after all, but was an Audigy 2 install disc. That easily explains the "Card not found" error. The differing results from the ScanPCI program are still bizarre, though.
Thanks to all of the people on the forum who posted information in other threads to help me deal with this issue. For now I am sticking with the original drivers from the disc and I am not upgrading.

Solution who encounter 'Setup does not detect Sound Blaster .....' error msg during installat

For those who encounter 'Setup does not detect sound blaster audio in the system' error upon installing from the installation CD. You can try the steps below that work for me. It seems Windows have lock on to the sound card with an incorrect ID thus the installation CD are not able to correctly identify the card. Be sure to do a backup copy of the registry first incase something goes wrong since we are editing the registry.
. Go to Start-Run and type in 'regedit' to start the registry editor application.
2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\P CI.
3. You should see listing with 'VEN....'. Expand them by clicking on the + icon and then see if it's listed as unknown or Creative related stuff. Keep note of them.
4. Right click on those 'VEN......' listing that you have noted earlier and select full permission. Ensure that full control are selected. Now delete all those listed as unknown or Creative related stuff.
5. Exit registry editor and reboot. Try using the installation CD again.
Hope it hel
ps.

Could not detect Sound Blaster Audio Card on xp sp2 Sys

I have Audigy Platinum and trying to install to a recently re-installed windows xp sp2 system. On my previous install everything was working fine and now I am looking to install the newest drivers and the error comes up [color="#ff3300">"could not detect Sound Blaster Audio Card on system". The strange thing is windows recognizes the card and will install it's drivers, but when I go to install the latest driver update I get the error. In addition, I also tried to run the install from my original disk.
I also?un-installed the devices showing? in the windows device manager, then tried and the same error, I even tried it in safe mode. Any ideas?Thanks and Advance,Mikel

Yes i think the real lesson here is not to buy creative,. i have the same problem with their junky card, so i guess ill just have to take buisness somewhere else. if you all do the same perhaps the threat of them going out of buisness will have them deal with their problems. if not atleast we saved others the headache of learning this lesson.

Hello,
I see that you're having an issue installing the software. I would suggest following this document, which will guide you through several steps on how to resolve the issue.

How do I install external (not on the appStore) apps in .mobi, on my ipad?

You don't. There is no supported way to install external Apps. You can only install Apps from the App Store.

Lack of sound after Window 7 (64) installation into iMac OX 10.6.7. Tried to install driver from Snow Lepard disc (Cirrus 64).Wizard installed driver. No sound, Device Manager indicated that "driver is not installed" but also that the"device is working"

I don't know how to proceed. I didn't have sound after installing Windows 7 inot iMac OX 10.6.7 (64bit) After unsuccessful attempt to upgrade the driver from the BootCamp file, I deleted the driver from the Sound and Game controlled hoping that I would allow me to automatically install the correct driver from Boot camp.
Now the Sound Video Game controller disappeared from the Device Manager
How can I find out which is the correct sound driver for my computer (The Speaker Properties only say:WIndows)?
How can I install it without seing the Sound and Game controller in the Device Manager?

When you say "manually download", you mean from the BootCamp File on Snow Leopard, or from the Internet.
My additional problem is that the "Sound and Video Game Controller" disappeared from the Device Manager when I removed the previous driver. I don't find the place where I can reistall the new driver.

USB Flash Drive not detected after OS X Mountain Lion installed.

My MacBook Air 11 inch (Mid 2011) suddenly stopped detecting all my USB flash drives a week after upgraded to Mountain Lion.
I have a tiny 16GB USB flash drive (Sandisk Cruzer Fit), for daily work, that has never been unplugged from my MBA.
Everything was fine on Lion, and a week of Mountain Lion, until just when my MBA prompted me that my flash drive "was not ejected properly" after I re-opened the display/lid, or from sleep mode.
I thought I might have accidentally removed the flash drive unknowingly. So I tried re-plugging the flash drive, closed and re-opened the MBA lid, and the same error message "The disk was not ejected properly" occured. I repeated the steps for a few times (thinking my flash drive might be faulty) and at my last attempt, the flash drive was stopped detected. I tried several USB flash drives and external hard drives (of various brands) to both the USB ports of my MBA, only the external hard drives were detected (on both USB ports) and functioning. None of the flash drives was detected on either USB port.
The tested flash drives were plugged to another 13" MacBook (Unibody, Late 2008, OS X Lion) and they all worked fine.
I wonder if anyone faces the same problem, and solution(s) please?
Additional: OS X Mountain Lion re-installed and same problem occurs / No problem with OS X Lion.

I had the same issue after installing Mountain Lion from the App store. The issue is you are missing the IOUSBFamily.kext extension amongst others. The solution is to backup your macbook, then perform a clean install of Mountain Lion.
I had this done at the Apple Store and now everything is restored as well as performance speed being improved.
Note: When restoring your files (a clean install will delete all your files and applications), use the Migration Assistant.
I would recommend going to the Apple Store to do this because they can perform the clean install from a USB which is so much faster than the download form the App store.
Hope this helps.

DVDRAM Drive not detecting audio CD

The GT20L DVDRAM Drive in my Probook 4510S is not detecting audio CD's or software CD's but it does seem to run video DVD's OK.
I have tried the Microsoft Fixit tool, which says there is a problem but it can't fix it.
II have checked the registry for upper & lower filters but there are no filter entries in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrenControlSet\Control\Class\(4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318.
I have tried creating a registry subkey.
All above is as directed at support.microsoft.com/kb/314060/en-us.
I have uninstalled the driver, removed the drive, refitted the drive and allowed auto-detection and installation of the drive, all to no avail.
I have, of course, tried updating the driver but each time the system says that the best driver is already installed.
Do you have any suggestions for other possible fixes that I can try?
Thanks
This question was solved.
View Solution.

It is a hardware issue. The drive has multiple lasers for multiple functions and it is very possible for the CD function to stop working and the DVD function to be fine. The only fix is a replacement drive. Here is one for sale on eBay:

This video shows how to get inside and do the replacement. As the ad says you will need to swap faceplates over from the old drive. If you need more help post back.

This is way more than you need to do. After removing the keyboard you can remove a screw holding the DVD drive in and then slide it out.

Can not detect Sound Blaster Audigy 2 on this sys

Im having trouble install drivers (apart from the old CD ones and some out of date ones) all the latest drivers or beta drivers say they cannot detect my card. I have an Sound Blaster Audigy 2 OEM which i bought nearly 2 years ago. I've tried swapping it to a different pci slot but makes no different Constant crashes when playing openal games. Even if i install the lates openal file. But i need to find out why i can't install the newest drivers and why they say i haven't got an audigy 2 when i have. In my device manger even says that its an "Creative SB Audigy 2 (WDM)" My system is as follows...
Windows XP Proffesional SP2 32Bit

.25Gb DDR 400 Ram
Geforce 6800 Ultra 256Mb
Asustek P4P800-E Deluxe Motherboard
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 OEM
PCTV Rave TV card
Please some one help me, it will be greatly appreciated. If you need anymore info please let me know ( i may uninstall and remove the tv card just to get it off my list of perhaps the audio part of the tv card could be interfering ?)Message Edited by Alexia on -2-2005 :52 PM

I am getting the exact same problem. Just downloaded the "Creative Sound Blaster Audigy unified series Beta driver with OpenAL support 2.08.0002" for my soundcard which is an Audigy 2 OEM (Model No. SB0240).
I am using WIndows Media Center Edition 2005, but when I try to install the beta drivers, I get the following error message:
"Setup is unable to detect a supported product on your system. Please ensure that your product is properly installed before running this setup program
Setup will exit."
My Device Manager shows Creative SB Audigy 2 (WDM) with driver version as follows:
Driver Provider: Creative
Driver Date: 23/06/2004
Driver Version: 5.2..444
I am currently hearing sound fine (so the soundcard is installed correctly), but the sound keeps cutting out from games that use OpenAL.
Anyone else getting this problem? How did you fix it's

Hard-Drive not Detected load sata drivers

Hi everyone I have a G6-1189sa notebook, I had a faulty harddrive so replaced it with the exact same drive 750GB WD, Thing is I could not save anything from the original drive ? so no recovery partitions are anything I even lost all my family photos and software.
Ok so I done a straight swap over and went ahead installing my fresh Windows 7 x64 disk, then I got an error message saying no device detected please install driver etc etc.
I know I need to install the sata driver for the harddrive to be detected, so I extracted the HP sata control driver to a USB pen the tried to load the driver, with the load driver option on the install disk.
Error message saying driver is not signed !!!! So after some reading on google I learned I had to disable the naitive sata option in the bios settings for the harddrive to be detected.
Thing is there is not a option for this in my bios ? unless Im missing something like an advanced bios setting.
I even went to the Intel site and tried some of there drivers but I get the same error message driver not signed.
So my question is ? how can I disable the native sata option if Its possible , If not how can I load the HP sata driver if its not signed.
Its very anyoing someone even said I have to slip the drivers in and make a new home made W7 disk myself to get my pc working again what the hell, where would I start.
Maybe I should put the laptop in the post and send it back, Ive never had so much trouble before making simple memory and harddrive exchanges.
Any advice please people Im at my wits end, my laptop is only a few month old and its now a door stopper lol

Hi,
Boot into the bios and be sure that the hard drive is detected.
Sata drivers are included in Windows 7.
Return the bios to its default settings and use the HP Recovery Disks. If you don't have the Recovery Disks then order them from HP. Order HP recovery Disks.

Hard Drive Not detected after replacing DC In Board

So after more than a year of jiggling an easliy bent AC adapter in the port to get my ibook G4 to charge it just quit and would not charge. I suspected it was the slightly loose DC in port (having no idea what was behind the little hole) so I took it to the Genius Bar at my local Apple Store where they confirmed it was likely the DC in board. I was told that just sending my little old ibook away to get fixed would cause an exorbitant $330 just to ship it out, never mind any parts, etc. It was suggested I just buy a new macbook and be done with it. But we've been through a lot and I didn't want to just toss her away so I found a DC In board and replaced it myself. Parts and directions courtesy of ifixit.com
So the part is working well enough that it detects the new AC Adapter (this one new and unbent), which is great. Now I have a slightly larger problem and that is the dreaded little finder/? flashing icon that comes up when I start the computer. It won't start in safe mode. I can't find the original disks (Panther OSX) that came with it. I popped in my Tiger Install Disk and that (Thankfully) came up so I was able to open Disk Utility and lo and behold no hard drive was detected. Just the optical drive and the Tiger DVD.
I was so careful! Did I poke the Hard Drive or something? Is she mad at me for opening her? If anyone has any advice on how I can repair this myself please let me know. I'm desparate to have my baby back.
Message was edited by: alemicia

It's possible that something was disrupted during the repair. You might go back to the ifixit site and look at the instructions for replacing the hard drive. You want to try and see if somehow you disconnected it or something like that. There's a good chance that it is something simple that you can fix. Looking at the pictures might trigger a memory of maybe something taken loose and not reconnected. And try to find your original discs--you will need them.
Good luck!
