New install not detecting sound card

My system is not detecting my sound card after a fresh install although alsa was working OK during installation.
I had the same happen with a Sidux install and this was fixed by a download and re-install of phonon but something else is wrong here.
Here is the lspci. Not sure what else I should post to help.
My other Arch install (kernel 2.26.28) is ok. The problem seems to be with 2.26.29.

Yes I had done that.
This from alsaconf...
No supported PnP or PCI card found
Would you like to probe legacy ISA sound cards/chips?
I have also re-installed alsa-lib, alsa-utils, phonon and everything connected with xine that I could find.
Should I be getting into the kernel? If so I'll need a little help.

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.

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.

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.

In case someone else has the same problem, there's actually a package in the AUR that fixes the problem : https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ricoh-e823-fix/
Install it and enables it with systemd and it should work correctly!

K8N Neo Platnium not detecting PCI cards

This is my second K8N Neo 2 Platnium board. Both of them have failed to detect the cards in the PCI slots. I know for sure that both of the cards work in my old system since i had to switch back to my old parts when i was getting my first board RMAed. The two cards are:
Creative Audigy 2 ZS sound card
Promise 100TX ATA controller card
I've disabled the onboard audio in BIOS, but that wouldn't matter since its not detecting either card. I've done the "search for new hardware" wizard in Windows XP Pro w/ SP2 and all updates as of Sept 26, 2005. I've tested it both inside and outside of the case so it isn't shorting.
I am P*ssed off.
Frankly, this is unacceptable. Not only that, but upon inspecting the second board right out of the package, I saw that it has been ran before. Long enough for dust to collect on some caps and on the SATA slots around the nForce chipset. Also, there were little rings around the mounting holes from where screws have obviously been screwed in before.
Not to mention i had to call them to send my RMA out. Website said it was ready to be shipped on 9-14-2005, I called on 9-20-2005, and it finally shipped out the following day.
I am not happy with my MSI purchase. This coming after hearing so much good about this company. Unless this problem is resloved I doubt I'll ever buy another one of their products again.

I had a similar problem with a 945p neo platinum board. Anything I plug into any PCI slot didn't detect. I solved the problem by flashing to the latest BIOS for the board. Now everything seems to be working fine.
Maybe that might work for you?

Can not detect wireless card

WRE54G / Win XP SR2
My laptop and PDA can connect to the network wirelessly with no problems.
Trying to connect my WRE54G to my network. On every attempt at AutoConfigure nothing happens. Have disabled router security and 'SPI Firewall' (whatever that is). Still nothing. Have disabled router security and 'SPI Firewall' (whatever that is), and McAfee Firewall. Still nothing. I have moved the WRE54G to within ~4 feet of the router and tried everything again. Still nothing.
I have tried Setup but when I hit 'Next' I get the popup "Can not detect wireless card."
Have tried a reset and have unplugged/replugged the WRE54G. FWIW, the WRE54G 'Link' light blinks blue once for about a second and turns a constant red. The 'Activity' light blinks blue twice quickly about every 5 seconds. Nothing on my PC shows any response.
What is the wireless card that can't be found? The WRE54G?
How do I resolve this?
33#44

this worked for me too. Although I was never able to use the cisco install wizard successfully. I am using WEP security on my access point. I took the following steps.
1. From laptop, connect to network wirelessly with WEP security settings in place
2. From laptop, open browser, go to: 192.168.1.1, select wireless security, disable wireless security
3. From Range Extender, hold auto-configure button. It took me multiple attempts (~5) and it connected so the 'Link' light changed from red to a consistent blue.
4. From laptop, disable security for the access point (via control panel, wireless network connection settings)
5. From laptop, connect to wireless access point (via control panel, wireless network connection settings). test internet connection. Internet should work.
6. From laptop, access range extender web utility. open browser, got to 192.168.1.240, enable security, input desired WEP security settings/passphrase.
7. From laptop, enable wireless security for the access point. from browser, go to 192.168.1.1, select wireless security and enable it. use the same settings from step 6 (from the range extender).
8. From laptop, update wireless adapter settings to connect using the same security settings (eg. passphrase) from step 6/7.
range extender, access point and wireless adapter/laptop should all be connected.

WRT 110 - New Router not detected

I am having problems with the setup wizard. Im getting "New router not detected". It's all setup correctly. I've reset modem, router and rebooted 100 times atleast. I can get on the internet when the modem is conected through the router. Also, I cant get to the 192.168.1.1 router setup. I have set up other linksys routers without problems. We are on Time Warner cable internet. Please help before I smash this thing.

I have an older Linksys (twin antenas) product so bought this for my son in Ohio. He tried to connect the router using his laptop and could not do it...after calling support (Punjab in India) they could not resolve the problem or begin to figure it out. After watching a 6 year old on YouTube hook up a router, I figured it couldn't be that hard so I told him to send the WRT 110 to me along with his laptop.
After trying the install myself (using the supplied CD), I could not connect to the internet via the wired laptop-router-modem either. So I figured the wireless device of the laptop may be interfering with the router. So I went to Control Panel>>Network Connections>> and right clicked on "Wireless Connection" and clicked "DISABLE". After that, the laptop DID connect to the internet via the ethernet cable.
When I tried to login to the new wireless network using another laptop, I could not connect after repeated attempts using the letter "O" and the number "0" of the WEP code generated by the CD install. I finally COPIED and PASTED the WEP code to a Word document, saved to a stick, then transfered the doc to the wireless laptop. After COPY and PASTE of the WEP code to the LOGIN >>>SUCCESS.
The wireless connection works fine two floors away from the router as does my old antenna router did, so the "range" problem reported by others is a mystery to me. Don't know why the "support" couldn't have solved this problem....I'm not a real computer nerd, but can do "trial and error" fixes.
Bottom line: router works fine and is better looking than the "antenna" ones but who cares??? I go for the blinking lights anyway <g>

H55m-e23 not detecting video card

Hello i recently upgraded my pc with new video card (asus engtx570 directcu ii gtx 570) the problem is that main board(MSI H55M-E23) is not detecting video card, so here is what happens when i turn the pc on it starts to beep 1long beep and 2 short beeps.

I removed rams and tryed with 1 stick, i have 4 different sticks and same thing happened with each stick. i tested the videocard on different mainboard (ASUS P5Q PRO and ASUS P8H67-M PRO REV. 3.0) and videocard worked fine. i tested my mainboard H55M-E23 with sapphire ATI HD 6950 and it worked too so the pci slot is ok, and now i dont know what to do more i tested all things possible. So what is the problem? my mainboard does not want to detect videocard (asus engtx570 directcu ii gtx 570) 3beeps ( 1long and 2 short) PLEASE HELP!

Lumia 625 does not detect MicroSD cards, please he...

My Lumia 625 does not detect MicroSD cards when inserted.
I have tried powering off/on.
I have tried formating them in my PC.
I have updated my phone to 3050.0000.1334.0007
I have tried a Kingston 64GB SDXC Class10
I have tried a Sandisk Ultra 64GB SDXC Class10
I have tried formatting the cards in various ways including exFAT / FAT32 / FAT64 etc.
The only progress i made was when i tried formatting in NTSC and after inserting the card i recieved a message saying "incomattable formatted card inserted, do you whish to format the card in a compattable format?" After choosing yes, the phone formatted the card and then the card was undetected...
This was confirmed by checking the card in my PC, which confirmed that the card had been formatted using exFAT, which i believe is the correct format for the phone/card.
Clearly the phone is somehow detecting and writing to the card and the card is functioning properly, except that the phone does not detect that the card exists as expanded memory and will not allow me to use it.
Any help with this would be really appreciated!
Becoming quite frustrated now...

Hi Pepperami33,
Have you tried to perform a reset? It will delete all your data so backup is required. See this link: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/how-to/wp8/basics/back-up-my-stuff for the steps on how to backup your files. After creating a backup, go to Settings > About > Reset your phone.
If the reset will not work, it is best to have your phone checked by our care point. Visit www.nokia.com/support for more info about the repair process.

Aperture does not detect CF Card

I am using Aperture 2 with my Canon EOS 30D. I used 2GB Sandisk CF cards and have had no issues ever. Recently I bought a 4GB and 16GB CF card and for some reason Aperture/Mac does not detect these cards. When I connect my camera via USB to my macbook, and click import, it does not show my Canon as a drive available to choose pics from. With my 2GB card it does.
Any ideas?

Does the card show up in the Finder? I suspect this isn't an Aperture issue.

New Help Pls! Sound Card Not Detected

Hello,
I decided to re-install windows 7 because it has been a long time since I had a "clean" install. I had my Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-FI Xtreme Gamer installed and it worked fine. But after I re-installed windows 7, the sound card would not be detected.
Because this happened to me last time I installed windows 7, I wiped my system dri've (C) and re-installed windows. However, this did not fixed the issue because the card is still not detected and it shows yellow in the device manager.
In my second install, I removed the card before installing windows because I thought it would detect it after the installation but it didn't.
I have tried installing manually, but it says:
Creative X-Fi Audio Processor (WMD) not found
I am really running out of ideas here and I would appreciate it if someone could tell me how to fix this.

I just tried to move the sound card to another PCI slot, I uninstalled the devices in the media manager, turned off the PC and switched the card. I made sure there was no dust.
I also disabled onboard audio. When I turned the PC back on the computer tried to install drivers for new devices but failed. I still cannot install my drivers -.-
If it helps, the card shows as "Multimedia Audio Controller" under "Other Devices"...

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!

Doesn't detect sound card

"Setup is unable to detect supported product on your system. Please make sure product is properly installed before running setup.
Setup Will exit"
Basically I bought an Xtreme gamer and I fitted it into the PCI slot nicely. Then I disabled onboard sound in the BIOS. When the PC loaded up, it didnt detect the new software. So I put the CD in anyway, and it let it load up. When the software installation loaded, it had the option of installing "Sound Blaster X-Fi" and "Creative Media Source". I tried to install them both, it tired to install the "sound blaster x-fi" first, but then as it reached the end, it had the Error message first quoted in the post. Then it installed the media source no problems.
Anyone know why it wont show up? PLEASE HELP ME!
