My sound card doesnt register in auto det

I have a dell dimension 4300 OS windows ME, I had to format my hard dri've and reinstall everthing, I realized after trying to download drivers, SB said my card wasnt detected in their auto detect, what should I do next? thanks

User,
If your sound card came preinstalled in your system then you will want to go to Dell to download drivers for the Card. These cards are referred to as OEM cards and are different from their retail counterparts.

[SOLVED] Mic does not work on Intel ICH8 (rev 3) sound card

Hi, folks.
I cannot get my sound card to record anything, using a built-in microphone. Audio output works just fine, though. I hope someone can help me, I have been banging my head against the wall for some time over this issue...
My laptop is Toshiba Satellite A200-1J0 (PSAE6E-04R036G3). alsamixer settings are fine, I tried supplementing additional options to /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf, but no luck, tried some of the combinations (model=<> position_fix=<>).
When recording sound with gnome-sound-recorder, with Capture set as input, nothing is heard. Skype can't record anything, either. I can't even get the crackling or hissing sound like some users do.
Should I try to get the latest ALSA?
Debug details start from now on:

Hi there!
I had the very same problem with the same soundcard and found this thread.
The problem got solved for me by adding the same line as you have to /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf.
However, I also had to create /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf and add:
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel model=toshiba power_save=0
Notice the difference on the "model=toshiba" part.
However, my laptop is not a Toshiba, but a Compal IFL90.
I remember that in Ubuntu I needed(a long time ago) to add a line to /etc/alsa.conf with model=toshiba. I figured it might be worth a try, and well, it did.
I hope this can help someone else.
As for the OP: "You have my thanks!"

"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!!!

Cirrus Logic sound card not working - Just a quick question (iMac 27-inch)

Hi, so as many have experienced, my sound card is not registering on my new iMac, on the Windows Vista side. I get sound out of the Mac side, just nothing from Windows.
I was wondering, would a USB sound card or sound pod solve the problem? I am not amazing with computers... But would buying one of those be a possibility?
I was looking at something like this...
http://www.emicrophones.com/p-1230-andrea-pure-audio-usb-sa-full-duplex-usb-soun d-pod.aspx
If anyone who knows what they're talking about could give me some input on this, it would be greatly appreciated. I do a lot of video editing on the Windows side, so having no sound would be an extreme burden.

Hi - I had this problem when I installed WIndows Vista (32 bit) on my i5 iMac. I believe I resolved the problems by finding the drivers on the OSX install disk. What I am struggling with is updating the video drivers - but that is another story...

Since Vista doesn't work correctly on XFI Pro Elite.. What other sound card solutions do wo

I am not looking for a flame war - just to honestly get some advice from others on what other solid sound cards do you know that work properly when hooking up optical inputs and such and have a wide selection of inputs like the creative xfi elite pro's breakout box. M

Ok an update. I am very persistant - was up to 4am trying to fix this and trying to go through every possible problem. That right there shows there is some serious problems with creative's software and drivers. It is suppose to be easy, not require someone who has a master's degree in computer science 2 hours to sort through the problems. It would help if there was just a clear install guide telling exactly what needs to be done - or better yet - gasp - an installer than actually did all the complicated things for you. (Creative - see Installshield and an expert consultant - they can help you. It will be worth outsourcing your efforts to get a clean view on things. I suspect the people putting these driver packages at creatives have been there a while and have lost perspecti've). It is possible to get the soundcard working to a degree on Vista. Things to realize (the following works if an only if you only have one creative product installed. Otherwise it could screw up your system):?
Make am imagine of your Windows before and after this. Before because its easy to screw things up. After because once you get it working you will never want to do it again.<
Order or find on torrent the Official Vista Install CD [do not install it yet]. Download it. Its large - or order it and pay $9 for shipping and handling. (I think they are paying a courier to hand deli'ver it and also bring me coffee since it is so expensi've). You can not get this from creative's online site. (Imagine that).<
You must uninstall manually everything that creative installs at all before going to next step.<
You must uninstall everything that is nati've audio to your system (e.g. built on the motherboard).<
There must not be other audio drivers or audio software installed.<
After you uninstall all this - make sure you also uninstall creative's drivers, any other drivers of an audio nature, and make sure you check the box that says "delete drivers" when you uninstall.<
REBOOT<
Remove any other audio products from the system if possible. If built on a motherboard - see next step.<
Go into the BIOS. Disable anything that is audio related. Save your settings.<
REBOOT (again).<
Go delete every registry setting that is in your registry hi've using regedit that is creative xfi related. (This can take some time because there are many sub devices, and not everything says "creative" on it.)? Good luck.<
Delete everything in your program files under creative (remember to make sure you do this as an administrator with adminstrator permissions - thanks UAC).<
Delete everything in users/[every user name here that runs on your system]/appdata/local/creative<
Delete everything in users/[every user name here that runs on your system]/roaming/creative<
[another words - delete everything you can find creative related to the xfi] - again be careful if you have more than one creative product - you could screw your system.<
Install the Official Vista CD. Install ALL the software with ALL options. Click yes to a thousands OK yes I agree to install. Make sure you install this with administrati've privliedges.<
REBOOT (again).<
Register (why not - you did everything else)<
Update all the software that it says to update. This will take?a long time because all of the software that is on the CD is out of date. <
Alchemy will not update because you will have just updated a new set of drivers. So...<
REBOOT (again).<
Update all of software again that it says to update. (Creatives update manager works decently).<
Alchemy will finish installing.<
REBOOT (again).<
Do not use control/panel/sound to adjust things - its useless<
Make sure you use the Creative XFI Volume Panel (It is not the same as the Windows Volume). Great job naming this guys... Set what you want... the sound should be working.<
NOTE:? SPDIF seems to be not available in Games (Sorry folks who run PS3 Optical through this device - your SOL - thanks Creative). To do this you must use it in Entertainment mode - but wait... SPDIF is disable by default. You must go to the mixer and enable it.<
Now with this being said - many things still won't be functional. E.g. there is no dolby through SPDIF, etc. Many of the features that were sold with this card - simply are not available in the Vista drivers. Also note that to use the latest Alchemy that is on the web site (not through the updates) you have to hunt down and find beta drivers and install those - which automatically expire later on in the year. Good jobs guys with this too... not very smart creative.<
SO there you have it. I am sure I may have missed a step - so if someone trys this and has a question - I will try to help. This is ridiculous though that someone has to go through this. A Windows service pack for the OS is easier than this. Creative get a clue - - fire some of your developers and get some that can do a decent job programming the drivers after 2 years of alpha's and betas and release - and create a decent install product. I shudder to think of the poor souls who bought more than one creative product. Good luck sorting through the directory, shared files, registry hi'ves, etc. to get your software working. If I hadn't paid a large some of money for this piece of hardware I would have never spent so much time on it. I figure even at $30 an hour - its about $400 in effort just to figure the above out, search through all the registry, hunt through the multiple directories of Vista, download the software, find out which software you have to download, etc. I am posting it here so that the average person who spent a couple hundred bucks on this card doesn't spend hundreds of dollars of time trying to get it to work on Vista.
My advice for newbies to computers - go to best buy - spend $50 for install and tell them to get it all working perfectly in your PC. Best Buy is overpriced on everything now adays anyway... they wanted $40 for a hdmi to dvi converter when you can order one online for $5. They seem to be the 7- of Electronics.
Please creative - clean up your act.

Satellite L755-16J - Trouble with sound card

I currently own a Toshiba *Satellite L755-16J* and it is having some sort of trouble with the sound card, i think.
When i bought it, it came with windows 7, i changed the windows to windows 8 and since then the audio has been troubling me.
The internal speakers work for a minute or two when i play an audio file but then stop working.
i had been using an external usb soundcard and external speakers for some time but decided to switchback to windows 7 for the sound to work properly again. even though i have switched back to win 7, the sound still doesnt work.
I am quite sure that the problem is not in the internal speakers because they do work, although just for a brief moment but they work, so i am guessing the problem is in the software instead of the hardware.
i tried updating the sound drivers but they seem to be up to date, according to windows the drivers "seem to be working properly"
Can anyone help?

> even though i have switched back to win 7, the sound still doesnt work.
How did you do that?
Did you use the Toshiba Recovery Disk in order to install Win 7 or did you install the Win 7 using fresh and clean Windows 7 disk?
The notebook supports Conexant sound chip. The sound driver is available on the Toshiba EU driver page and in case the sound chip is already recognized in device manager after the sound driver installation, I assume the driver has been installed properly.
In such case I would recommend you to connect the headphones.
In case the headphones would function properly, the speakers might be affected. I mean the hardware. But of course its only an idea.
Beside the headphone check, you could check also the settings within the control panel -> sound -> playback tab.
Usually the speakers should be set as default device.
Check this option too.

Sound card proble

Hey, I just registered here and was wondering if someone could help me out. See, I have a a microphone set up on my comp, that used to work until I had to completely wipe my hardri've :-( **bleep** viruses. I was wondering if my microphone doesn't work anymore because the dell support lady didn't fully re-install my sound card or something. Any ideas?
P.S. any help would be deff appreciated, and if this is in the wrong spot, sorry i couldn't really figure out where else to put it.

Althogh Dell PC's have a badged, Creative soundcard they are different than the ones here so it is hard to help. Why don't you ask the Dell lady what she did and ask her to fix it up?

Best Way to Hook up 5.1 surround sound card

Hey Guys -
What is the best way to hook up the X-Fi surround 5. external sound card... Toslink or 6 channel dirrect (the 3 cables on both ends)
It seems when I do 6 channel direct, the volume doesnt go up as high... but when I use toslink the volume goes way higher.... Also, playing Mp3, is there a way to get some better sound other then using stereo? Or am I stuck on this issue... I have the logitech z-5500
Right now im using toslink, and it doesnt use the center channal... dar nit...
thanks
Message Edited by monkey23456 on 08-2-2009 08:07 [email protected]

/ Also... I cant play my 24bit/96khz flac files on this as well...
P.S. Ive got my speakers connected to this via toslink...
One more question... in control panel under speakers, do I select SPDIF output as default, even though im using the external sound cards SPDIF?
thanks
Ive heard vista only supports 48khz via SPDIF? is this why?

Cannot add my sound card..Any suggestions?

I have a M-audio sound card and every time I put it in a PCI slot, my system won't boot up :(
Also the same thing happens when I ad my Audigy card. Everything else works fine, onboard sound etc. I just cannot seem to add a soundcard... What can I do or what am I doing wrong?
Many thanks
Karma

Di You Have the "Onboard Sound" Disabled in the BIOS?, Because Leaving it set to "Auto" will Not Work, with either of those Sound Cards........Also if you have Windows XP, You can NOT install the Sound Card Drivers with the Windows XP "Installation Wizard" , You must Install the Card into the PCI Slot, Boot the Machine, (If it Fails to Boot, Go into the BIOS, and Increase the PCI Latency Clock Time to 96 clks, as somtimes These Sound Cards Need to Hold the PCI BUS for Longer then the Default 32 clks ) after you get the System Booted into the OS, Let the "Installation Wizard" Recognize the New Hardware, and when it asks you to Install the Driver Disc, Say NO, or Cancel, and Then after the "Wizard Closes, then Install the New Drivers, Reboot and you should be Fine .....................Sean REILLY875

[Solved] No sound with ALSA (change default sound card)

I installed Arch on another laptop and I am unable to get sound working.
# lspci | grep -i audio
00:01.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Device 9840
00:14.2 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] FCH Azalia Controller (rev 02)
Two devices show up in alsamixer. The first (the default, I assume) shows up only an S/PDIF button that I can toggle. If I select the other sound card, I can change volume normally.
I followed this solution in the wiki with no success.
How can I make the second sound card the default one?

Yes, that is what I meant; F6 did not list them both when I use your options. I must have done something wrong the first time, because now it does.

How playing the sound from sound card backward?

hello

Well, first of all, use the tags to format your code.
Second of all, your code looks pretty horrible (fair enough, you posted in New to Java).
Lastly, the error message seems to be quite clear, you're trying to open a SourceDataLine with an unsupported format.
Where did you get this code?

Sound card driver probl

Perhaps someone can help with an annoying soundcard problem on a Windows XP Pro PC with all security updates installed.
I have an Audigy sound card with the latest drivers from the Auto up date on this site.
Before installing the drivers I clear out the old drivers as the instructions for uninstalling drivers again from this site.
When installed all is well and the sound card works well through my speakers but after a few days the volume available from the speakers has gone down by about 50%.
Cleaning out the drivers and reinstalling will bring the volume available back up to what I consider to be a normal level.
My question is; can anyone explain why the drivers seem to be corrupted after a short period. I'm not constantly installing or removing software that could interfer with the installation. I have all the latest security updates installed and run spyware and virus protection that shows no problems.
Has anyone got any suggestions as to what might be effecting my soundcard installation before I change the card for one that hopefully wont need reinstalling every few days.

Hi,
I appear to have a similar problem. In the middle of working with Cubase SX3, a message came up saying 'could not load audigy 2 zs' - I came out of the program, then tried to load it up again, but would not load - after uninstalling almost everything, I tried to reinstall the audigy 2 ZS, but a message came up saying 'could not detect any audigy 2 ZS card on your system - installation will now exit' - why? Before it was because the drivers were not installed? I have sound out of the card, but not through the DVD player - any ideas? Please.
Thanks.

Integrated sound card problems

Hi!
I own an MSI 845 Ultra-C motherboard. When I used my PC last night, I noticed there was no sound as I started windows XP. I tried playing MP3 with windows media, but an error message appeared, saying that there's a problem with my sound card.. either I don't have one.. or the one I'm using is not functioning properly. When I turned on my computer again this morning, my system was working properly... no more error messages whatsoever. But the problem recurred when I turned it on again earlier. What could be the cause of this? Could it be the integrated sound card on my mobo? This is the first time it ever happened. I checked my manual but found nothing there that could solve the problem.
Thanks in advance for your help.
:D

Hi!
I checked the BIOS, and under INTEGRATED PERIPHERALS, I saw AC'97 AUDIO which is set to AUTO... do I have to disable it? A friend of mine told me that If I do that, I won't be able to use the integrated sound card anymore. He also added that I should only do that if I decide to buy a PCI sound card. Is he correct in saying so? :D

This is what I use for ordering the HDA based cards in my system, index=0 is Maudio Audiophile. So you would need to use index=0,1 and use the correct model and probe mask for the nvidia card. Mine is ATI SB Azalia, and a nvidia GT430 with GF108 chip.
options snd-hda-intel index=1,2 model=6stack-dig,auto probe_mask=-1,0x108
