If i upgrade my drivers for my xtreme music card i get no sou

I install the drivers from the supplied CD that came with the XtrememMusic card and it works, get full sound etc. But if i download the latest drivers (audio console, drivers etc) as soon as they are installed I get no sound from from the card! This forces me to uninstall the Creative X-Fi drivers and software completely and go back to the drivers supplied with the card. Why is this happening?

Don't know about your problem but i have a different one.
I installed the latest drivers from CL site and then today i was checking the Windows update site when there was a Creative XFi update available. So i got it and it just screwed all the sound up. Made my mic echo and allsorts.
Teach me for trusting MS to supply updates for something that as naff all to do with them realy. Should of know because the last time i did this for my Nvidia 8800 card it did the exact same thing by screwing everything up. Doh! lolMessage Edited by taylorig on 08-20-200706:20 PM

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.

Xtreme Music/ Vista/ Installed but no sou

Hi guys, Im having great trouble with my Xtreme Music card. I have downloaded the vista driver from the Soundblaster site. I made sure any other drivers were uninstalled and disabled the onboard sound. I am using a Creative Digital i/o adapter also. Everything seems to be installed correctly and even the small graphic equalizer next to the Digital i/o icon in Control Panel is showing a signal however there is NO SOUND. Im a bit baffled.
I have read through a great number of the posts here and found similar issues but no solution. Apologies if I am repeating an issue.

Don't know about your problem but i have a different one.

Have X-Fi Xtreme Music card work

I guess I can say that I'm one of those that has an X-Fi Xtreme Music card working in their system, except for a stuttering effect that happens after a couple of hours of listening to music or gaming. Have discovered that the suttering effect is related to ATI's Catalyst drivers when running Crossfire, of which I installed Catalyst 6.3, which helps reduce the stuttering effect. Next part of this, is my motherboard needs a bios update, which I'm sure ASUS is working on. I don't get no popping or crackling, when gaming or listening to music. Here's the setup, I have my Xtreme Music X-Fi working on, and it isn't an NFORCE 4 motherboard, but an RD480 Crossfire motherboard. My X-Fi Xtreme Music card doesn't even have a heatsink on it, nor did I look at the revision number if any, as my card works.

I'm liking this card, been gaming and listening to music I've downloaded legally of course.

Hi Sonic,
In response to your mention,

I'm not sure, but I think it has a different coloured version of what you were refering to. I'll see if I have a closer closeup picture somewhere in my pictures, however that's the first one I found.
Maybe this will let me plug my front ports into it.
Thanks for the idea though.

*Edit*
Here's the closeup picture after scouring my computer for the pic. I took 00 one day, but trying to get a good one of the model ### etc, so I could get help from the creative e-mail support, hehe, took 00 pic's to finally get an angle without the flash screwin it up. Anyways here it is.

Linux drivers for SUN Quad PCI card

Hi everyone.
I have a question regarding drivers for a Sun QUAD network card. I belive it is a X1034A card.
The card is also marked with a label saying: *5015406063174* and a barcode. On another label it says: P04280713
Is there any chance that this card would function under a Linux operating system on an intel x86 server?
Does anyone know where I could find the drivers for this configuration?
Best regards,
Rod

Take a closer look at the actual card,
particularly at the central Ethernet chip.
If I recall correctly, it is a DEC DC2115x chipset for 10/100Mbit connectivity,
and should be natively recognized by Linux.
The 501-5406 QFE card, as shown on a 3rd party web site.
Install it and boot your system.
You should know in just a few moments whether it'll work,
or whether the Sun firmware is of any concern.

Windows drivers for SUN Quad PCI card

With the risk of being flamed, I have a question regarding drivers for a Sun QUAD network card. I belive it is a X1034A card.

Is there any chance in h**l that this card would function under a Windows system?

Hello Ben,
I own the IntraServer LSI5464E which appears to be 501-5406-01 (using the DC21153-AC which was on my card manufactured by Intel not DEC).
I was wrong, the 21153 is a PCI-to-PCI Bridge chip by Intel. I thought it's similar to the DEC PCI Fast Ethernet DECchip 21140.
The 4 Ethernet controllers chips are manufactured by/for Sun.
The datasheet for the LSI5464E is still available, while the drivers aren't.

L520: are there any Win 8 drivers for Ericsson 5521gw WWAN card?

I can't find any Win 8 drivers for my L520. There is a driver listed on the Win 8 beta page, but L520 is not mentioned there.
Is the 5521gw card working on Win 8 x64? Do I need the beta driver or do we have to install the Win 7 version?

THX console for xfi xtreme music?? cant find i

hi i have the xfi extreme music soundcard with the latest drivers and console Application installed.
i have looked everywhere for the THX console. i noticed on a webpage its next to the speaker selection.. not on mine..
it has the thx logo aswell as 2 others on the front of the control panel?
do i need to install anything extra.. connected via analogue.
cheers

The default location for the iTunes library on a Vista system is in:

After getting into the choose library dialog, if you browse inside there do you find your own library inside there?

Optional drivers for xfi extreme music?

Been using this card for 2+ years with no probs. Just did a fresh install of xp pro student and crysis crashes often. Some of the issues were ati vid drivers and still may be, but I was able to find and try older versions of the vid card dri'ves that have improved the issue.
I would like to try older versions of sound card drivers but between the black circles that obscure much of this forum and no listing of?older xfi drivers on creatives download page I have not found anything.
Also would like to find WHQL approved xfi drivers for xp. The only driver at creatives site pops up the "not approved" window during installation.

+ No more black circles. I can now search and read replies but to no avail. I still have not found info on whql xfi drivers or older drivers.
I have searched here and the net with poor results.
Am I missing something obvious?

Tecra A2 - Need XP drivers for LAN and WLan card

Hey,
I've got a rather old.. second hand Toshiba Tecra A2 laptop and apparently its in need of an ethernet controller and a network controller drive.
I've been using the toshiba website to download many drivers for this model laptop successfully.
I have installed them all - but i apparently still need these drivers. Where can i get them from.
Or where might i be going wrong in finding them?
Thanks for any replies ^^
P.s, its windows xp professional

Sorry - in fact on the toshiba driver downloads page, i downloaded the LAN driver etc, moved the download onto my laptop, extracted all folders and there was no installation device but only an un-installation device, as when i clicked it, it asks " do you want to remove all drivers for all wired intel PRO network connections?"
if i should continue with this what i thought to be un installation program.. let me know :)

WinXP drivers for Ethernet/SCSI combo card

Hello,
I have a combo Ethernet/SCSI card which I am using under Windows XP. While the SCSI part is detected and working under XP, the Ethernet Card is not.
I booted Linux to get a little more information about the device:
03:00.0 Bridge: Sun Microsystems Computer Corp. EBUS (rev 01)
03:00.1 Ethernet controller: Sun Microsystems Computer Corp. Happy Meal (rev 01)
03:01.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53c875 (rev 04)
WinXP does not find any drivers for the PCI bridge and the Ethernet controller. Are there any drivers available anywhere?
Thanks for any help.

Instead of chasing for an unavailable driver (Sun doesn't supply a Windows driver for the hme), get an another Ethernet card.
Ethernet cards for PCs are inexpensive, these for SPARC systems are a lot more expensive.
Edit: I don't know why I initially suggested to get an Ethernet card that is on the HCL.

Problems setting up Soundblaster X-Fi Xtreme Music card with Logitech Z-5500 Speak

I have searched a lot for information on this and I have been unable to find a solution to
my problem. I recently purchased a new Dell PC with the following items: Soundblaster X-Fi Xtreme Music sound card and Logitech Z-5500 speakers. However, when I tried to connect the 3 analog wires from the central unit into my sound card, only one of them will work at a time. In other words, only one set of speakers will play anything. I am not sure what other options I have. Someone from Best Buy said I needed the box that comes with the Platinum version of X-fi Xtreme but I am not sure where I can order this from. Is it sold seperately anywhere? Clearly I am not going to order another of the same sound card and pay another $200 when the only thing I need is the box. Any suggestions on how to solve this dilemma would be extremely appreciated.

You might want to reinstall the drivers, because it looks like your default speaker settings are set to 2. or whatever non 5. setting it was on. This is because whenever you click on the default settings button, it will reset the speaker setting back to the non-5. speaker setting. Actually, you can do a custom uninstall of the card and just uninstall the volume panel. Then reinstall it. It should ask you what default speaker setting you desire. Set it to 5.. That way you don't have to worry about it defaulting to the wrong speaker settings.

Is an X-Fi xtreme Music card answer to my probl

Hi, I have been using an 'ADS Tech Instant Music' standalone USB box to record line-in audio as WAV files at 6-bit 44.. I am using a good quality digital mixer through which I am recording vinyl 2" singles. I just want to put them on CD. The problem I am having is that I don't think the sound quality is very good. The recordings sound 'furry' and digitized if you know what I mean. This is the same using the SP/DIF from a Sony CD player.
I am interested in getting the X-Fi Extreme Music card if this will solve the sound quality issue for strictly this one issue. Is the X-Fi the answer to my problem?
I am not interested in games or multi-media applications or even any other setup than normal stereo. I just want to make copies of my vinyl (through a mixer with its own pre-amp) and burn them to CD for use in any domestic CD player.
Can anyone help?
Will my PC setup be OK?
Are the SCP problems related to audio recording as well as sound in games?
My system is: Fujitsu Siemans Scaleo P with a Gigabyte 8945PE motherboard, P4 3.40 GHz proc, XP SP2 Home, BIOS AT/AT Compatible 2/07/05, 2 Gig of RAM, 2 x Samsung 49BG HD's, Radeon X550 + Secondary.

Can anyone tell me?

And i don't know how to uninstall them, i cannot find any creative drivers when i go into the set up programcan u help me please?

Hello LA,
The window that I have is different from the one you posted. Please see attached for mine. When I clicked on REMOVE, a message popped up and disappeared within a couple seconds. And the message is as following: "The installer is verifying the installation, please do not reboot while this dialog is being display." This same message popped up every time REMOVE is clicked but I have no luck on removing MAX.
This test PC is for legacy testing and it was with Windows 98 and have an ISA DAQ card installed that requires DAQ driver 6.9.3. Can upgrading the test PC to Windows 2000 corrupt the installation?
Looking forward for your advice. Thank you.

How to upgrade driver/firmware for 3rd party airport card?

I have a Motorola WPCI810g wireless card that i have been using for over a year. Previously in Panther i tried to upgrade to Airport 4.2 to take advantage of WPA, but i ended up having to downgrade back to 4.1 because 4.2 left airport nonoperational. I have been on Tiger for quite a while and only recently noticed that i was automatically upgraded to Airport 4.2, however I do not have WPA as an encryption option (neither when joining, or creating a network). I can only assume it has to do with the firmware on the card but I cant figure out how to update it. I have tried to search these threads but the closest i can come is using Airport Admin Utility to upgrade the firmware on a base station.
About Airport is such:
Airport
427.1.1
Component Versions:
Airport Menu Extra: 427.1.1
Airport Framework: 429.6.0
Airport Extreme Driver: 405.1.0
Airport Admin Utility: 420.5.0
Airport Setup Assistant: 420.6.0
Powermac G3 Rev2 B&W 400mhz, iBook G4 14" 1.33mhz Mac OS X (10.4.9) Pioneer DVR-109, Moto WPCI810G, Nano (1G) 4gb Black

yup, and this is what it says:
AirPort Card Information:
Wireless Card Type: AirPort Extreme
Wireless Card Locale: USA
Wireless Card Firmware Version: 405.1 (3.90.34.0.p18)
Current Wireless Network: wireless network not available
in addition, I found that I can choose WPA as an encryption if i select 'other' as the network. What I would really like to do is create a network with WPA, since i use this desktop to connect my ibook to the internet. so far nothing...

If i upgrade my drivers for my xtreme music card i get no sou
