Pbme Installing Soundblaster 5.1 l

Hello,
I have bought a PC in Canada with a Soundblaster 5. li've. All work well, but I reinstalled windows 98SE and I don't find my install CD. I am on Windows 98 SE. I have downloading the driver on the web site : but I have a windows saying that the install will exit as it can not detect a soundcard Sound blaster li've 5.. Of course, I am sure because I read it directly on the card, the model number is OK with SB000. One other thing, is that the system windows reconize two things : PCI input controller and PCI Multimedia Audio device when I insert the card. I wonder why there are two things reconize for just a sound card. Can You help me ?
Thanks,
Franck.

simple answer: it's windows 98- li've with it (it sucks, i know)
Complex answer: is the sound card compatiable with your system? Have you tried moving it around in the PCI ports? http://us.creative.com/products/prod...emRequirements

  • Can't Install Soundblaster Live on

    I moved my Soundblaster card from a win98 system to a different system having XP with SP2 installed. All worked okay for basic audio but I needed the other goodies (mixer, midi...). When I attempted to install the software from the original CDs, it got to 95%
    complete and automatically restarted the system before I had a chance to install
    the updated drivers. The system stayed in an endless loop restarting, even in Safe mode.
    I booted from the XP CD and did a repair which now allows booting in Safe mode but won't
    allow booting in normal mode. A search doesn't find ctmm32.dll that SID 2293 refers to.
    What do I do now?
    Thanks.

    Jjk,
    Do this in safe mode:
    ) Attempt to install the Li'veDrvUniPack to get everything updated (this is the 23.32 MB update file found under Support/downloads for the Li've! under XP).
    2) Go to start/run and type MSconfig into the dialog box
    3) Inside of MSconfig go to the startup box and take a checkmark out of the Creative Taskbar application (CTtask or CTlauncher usually) also take a checkmark out of CThelper if it is there.
    4) Reboot the system and see if you can get into normal mode.
    5) If this fails, go into safe mode and follow these directions to Cleansweep the card: http://us.creative.com/support/kb/ar...asp?l=2&sid=72
    6) Reboot back into normal mode and try installing the card from the Li'veDrvUniPack without the CD. This will give you the basic applications to get full functionality out of the card.

  • Installing Soundblaster Audigy 2 Z5 notebook software and driver for Vi

    I am trying to install the software that came with my Audigy 2 Z5 Sound card for PC notebook computer.

    I am unable to install this?driver and get a message saying "setup is uable to detect a supported product"

  • How I've Eluded Soundblaster Driver incompatibilities for all these years

    Hi I just want to share my experience on Soundblaster. It's been several years since the X-Fi's release. I was then using the original SB li've 5. to my original 53 units of computer in my PC internet and Gaming Shop. All these years I had to replace unit after unit as it grows old and manifest system problems but never would have failed to put soundblaster as a soundcard for that particular new or replaced unit. I have jumped from SB li've 5. to audigy series and then as of now X-Fi extreme music.And so far in my entire life I have never encountered a single problem out of soundblaster not even in a single unit of my PCs. And because Iam puzzled with all the complaints when I visit here. I pity all of you guys and I decided to make this post for a reason that it might help some of you as it had helped me through all my Creative experience years.
    Ok here are the some simple steps I've been using and have acquired all these years and never did it failed me:
    .You must know the inside and out of your PC. Find out all the drivers that has been installed from the past and present in your pc. This is generally important so that if you will have compatibility problem in the future you can start scanning and eliminating some incompatible drivers one at a time. If you don't know you can always go to "Run" and type:"regedit" and press "enter" and you will find all your drivers and activities you've done and currently making there. basically, everything as in everything even the secret of all secret funny things you've done in your pc from the past and present. Yes you can find all the things about you computer there. "If you familiarize yourself with your pc in the registry editor, you become one with your computer."
    2. Before installing soundblaster soundcard, Be sure to "UNINSTALL ALL THE EXISTING SOUNDCARD DRIVERS" your closest friend might say it's okay I've tested it myself it doensn't matter if you uninstall the existing soundcard driver it or not. Never believe him/her, remember "The enemy of your enemy isn't always your enemy too." your pc has a different build content depending on your activities from the past and present with your friends have; and this will be a big factor if you are installing sensiti've drivers like creative's. Ignoring this often results to system problems of incompatibilities. Thus, you start to cry and blame creative for all the stupidity you just caused yourself.
    3. After installing and you decide to restart now go to you "SYSTEM BIOS" and "turn off" your onboard soundcard there if you currently have one.
    4. If you decide to reinstall the driver because you felt you've missed something. It never hurts to "ALWAYS UNINSTALL FIRST" And then install the current driver again.
    5. Lastly, guess you've heard this one "Never fix your PC, if it ain't broke." If you try to overclock your PC a dozen or hundred times and you "suddenly forgot" the "last oveclock activity" you've made and then after a week you discovered you suddenly have a sound problem in your Battlefield 2 when the last time you played it the sound were okay. After a couple of hours of trying to reinstall and you've abide to all the right procedures installing above and still finds the sound in bf2 sucks. Don't panic and come blaming creai've again with your stupidity cause you just broke the general law and tried to fix something that ain't broke.
    6. One more thing, never use very cheap, never heard motherboard that you personally insist it's too good for you. Some motherboards are genuinely incompatible with soundblaster X-fi as of now because the driver is in early stage. Early adopters usually gets hit with this.
    Important: When uninstalling past creative drivers, actually to all the drivers in my case, just to be sure. Go to registry editor and erase all the hidden dll files and clutters. soundblaster drivers are not ordinary driver that once you uninstall this its all gone?.. No, it's not gone at all, In fact, soundblasters drivers are embedded so deep in your system that some people need driver cleanup softwares so that the hidden remaining dll files will be totally wiped out; problem is some bogus driver clean up softwares are in rage for years and there's a big chance that you would catch one, most specially the one that comes in free. But If you familiarize yourself in the registry editor, There's no software that can erase all the hidden files and dlls better than you would do it manually.Done this for years and it never did failed me.
    ***not so important in the process but better get rid of it st just to be sure anyway it's easy as .2..3... Try to remove all the spywares before installing by using Ad-Aware,Spybot search and destroy and microsoft ad remove software. Don't just try to use one, some spywares are just as stubborn as humans are.Message Edited by spenz on 04-7-2006 04:00 AMMessage Edited by spenz on 04-7-2006 04:00 AMMessage Edited by spenz on 04-7-2006 04:03 AM

    *Edited due to length of post and the normal troubleshooting BS that you hear every time one user has a problem.
    Good post for general troubleshooting, but it doesn't sit to well with me when there are literally thousands who have these problems. Don't you think this will rub anyones nose in the dirt who through no fault of they're own has problems?
    I for one have a good working x-fi but for someone to say that the multitude of problems are due to bad installations or viruses, i feel is downright insulting for the people who have reformatted, bought new hardware, and come up against a brick wall each and every time.
    I know a lot of the time when it comes to pc's and they're faults its due to the person themselves and not the pc, but those people tend to be few in number and don't complain of the same symptoms over and over again.
    It exists on very popular motherboards and at a guess i would say the x-fi is asking for to much bandwidth which certain chipsets can not supply.
    A pci asking for to much bandwidth is not the fault of the user the pc or some other supernatural event, its the pci card itself, they should conform within the pci specifications and not go over what is set by a standard.

  • Write protection error with my soundblaster live

    Running win ME and cannot fully install soundblaster software disk.Doing a complete install.When system reboots,blue screen with the "Write Protection Error".Have to shut down comp with power switch. Then when I turn it back on,it comes up in safe mode.When I uninstall soundblaster,comp comes back to desktop. I have also tried to install with win XP home edition upgrade with the same results. I have formatted my entire comp many times since I purchased Soundblaster li've 5.. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Try moving the sound card to another PCI slot and then run the installation from the CD again. There is an article on Microsoft knowledgebase that cover the Windows error you encounter that you can refer to.

  • SoundBlaster X-Fi Driver Installation Fails After Moving Soundcard to New Slot

    NSoundBlaster X-Fi Driver Installation Fails After Moving Soundcard to New Slot4 I recently moved my X-Fi Elite Pro soundcard to a different PCI slot to accommodate my new large PCIE graphics card.
    Prior to moving the card, my?original SoundBlaster install went fine without any trouble. When I booted up after relocating the card,?it was not detected at all. So I uninstalled my SoundBlaster driver software and?rebooted the computer?thinking that was necessary to clear any hardware configuration settings from the old install. This made no difference. I then discovered my card was not seated properly and corrected it.
    Next I installed the SoundBlaster driver software. The installation proceeded and finished with a request to restart the computer. Once I did, the computer detects my card and starts the hardware installation wizard asking if I want Windows to search online for driver software. It does not recognize the just installed SoundBlaster driver installation. I have a dual boot setup and this happens in both WinXP Pro and Vista 32 Home Premium.
    What's wrong here?

    Forget it folks...couldn't wait for any suggestions so I just cleaned off my hard dri've and reinstalled everything. Works fine.

  • SB X-Fi Driver Installation Problem (X-Fi does not install on Asus A8N-VM CSM

    Dear forum members,
    I want to install Soundblaster X-Fi Xtreme on my Windows XP x64 Professional computer, but i am not able to succesfully finish 64bit X-Fi driver installation. Whether i use newer x64bit X-Fi beta driver or older official x64bit X-Fi driver, the installation of the driver stops at the end of the installation, when "CTDVINST.DLL" file is being installed and MY COMPUTER REBOOTS instantly. After the reboot, i am being asked to install Soundblaster X-Fi driver again and again. So all the X-Fi software installs well, but when i want to upgrade to x64bit drivers downloaded from Creative web site, the installation process reboots my computer right at the end of it, when "CTDVINST.DLL" file (it seems to be the last file in the driver package) is mentioned.
    Help me please solve this problem, so that i can use my new Soundblaster X-Fi Xtreme on my computer soon.
    Thank you very much.

    - new Windows installation did not help,
    - it is not caused by x64bit operating system, beacuse it did not install neither on Win XP 32bit
    - i tryed both driver updates (2 and 3) on both operating systems
    - i tryed to start driver installation from X-FI Driver\Drivers\Support\ctzapxx.exe, no change at all
    - i tryed to uninstall previous driver first through ctzapxx.exe as well
    - i tryed to install the driver on fresh installation of both Windows XP x64bit and x32bit
    driver installation reboots the computer just a percent before it should finish, allways, no matter how i try to install the driver

  • Soundblaster Live and

    ASfter installing SoundBlaster Li've 24-bit and the software on the installation CD-rom I should, in my opinion, be able to apply EAX-effects. But there is no difference between playing keyboard (Prodikeys) in the bathroom, concert hall, or cathedral (not to mention the cave) when I use Creative SoundFont Synth (which also came with the soundcard). However, when I use Microsoft GS Wavetable SW Synth as MIDI output device everything works nice. So, I have to conclude that Creative has designed an EAX system that does not work with their own MIDI output device!! Could anyone comment on this, I am sure I cannot be the only one who has made this astonishing discovery.

    <i have that mobo in my other pc and i could never get the onboard sound to work with the augy2 zs at all. it would never show up in device manager when ever i had the augy2 installed. i did talk to a ASUS tech and they told me that you cant run the onboard with a sound card at all. it is automatically disabled vie mobo. some how? he realy didnt go into details about it. but yeah i ended using 2 sound cards on that pc the augy2 zs and a li've 5. 24 bit so i could have my teamspeak usin the 5. and everything else used the augy2. and even now with this new pc i built i cant use the onbaord sound with a sound card. even tho i could use it for a bit tho. it would ened up crashing an the blue screen of death would also happen when i did. so i to now use a usb headset that is for playstation2 since it has its own sound device built in it. but sorry for no good news for ya tho. but other then that , that mobo is a good one tho, the A8V deluxe.

    Thanks for the reply.
    I've got everything working after an MS service pack 2 update.
    Still have a question mark by multimedia device controller in the device manager, though...
    Do I still need to disable the on board sound divice in the system bios?
    Will this help out with the multimedia device controller issue?
    thanks a bunch!!

  • My company will no longer purchase Creative produ

    I am a purchasing manager for a mid-sized technology company. My duties include, among other things, authorizing the procurement of computers for new-hires, replacements, lending to sub-contractors in a variety of countries, et cetera. All in all, we buy at least 20-30 computers a week (laptops included). Not a huge purchaser by any means, but not small either.
    We will no longer include creative soundcards (or any other creative products) in our purchasing decisions. Previously I recommended Creative products as a good alternati've to iPODs, but I will discontinue that as well.
    I have owned Creative products for many years, and I have seen their drivers become increasingly worse. I know the reason for this as well.
    Sound Cards are becoming a commodity market. A modern soundcard produces negligibly better sound than cards 4 or 5 years ago. In fact, I still regularly install SoundBlaster 6s and Montego Turtle Beach IIs in warehouse computers. They produce adequate sound and are rock solid. The only way to keep it a premium market is by creating a premium market. Even audiophiles will tell you that anything beyond 7. surround is not only absurd, it may actually hurt the sound quality if not configured precisely. So where does a premium manufacturer go after producing a quality 7. surround card--into the world of IP law apparently. I digress.
    I understand that Vista introduced some significant hurdles to soundcard driver development by bringing many things inside kernel-space. Life is tough. A quality manufacturer, with a quality product could easily negotiate those hurdles.
    I will not name my company here because this is not a company policy or battle. I am, however, in a position to enforce it. I will reconsider my decision only once I see an adequate response from Creative.
    Thank you
    - Doug
    *edit* - The prompt for this decision is not Creative's announced policy towards 3rd-party development, it is their policy towards 3rd-parties and intentional omission of a legal substitute. I do not license sound cards, I buy sound card hardware and I have every reasonable expectation that it will do what it is supposed to do on any platform I am able to get a driver for.
    I do not intend to fuel knee-jerk outbursts here. This is a personal and professional decision. I am required increasingly to support Windows Vista (alongside XP, 2000, Mac OS(s), Linux, Solaris), and this creates difficulties for me. I have been burned personally by Creative support in the past and can no longer recommend them.
    Message Edited by Doug_W on 03-3-2008 :36 AM

    If spamming continues here, I will take down my public post and, instead, submit it privately to Creative.
    I only posted here to let people know that these types of actions, while perfectly reasonable from a legal standpoint, affect the decisions of companies as well. Being a corporate environment, we do not buy a significant number of high end sound cards.
    But we do buy a few. We buy Creative keyboards and microphones and cameras. We recommend what products the CEOs and VPs and dock workers buy for their daughters and wi'ves and nephews. Anyone who has worked in IT knows exactly who employees turn to when making a purchasing decision regarding technology.
    I personally own a Soundblaster X-Fi. I also own a Soundblaster platinum Extigy. The Extigy was a sore disappointment from an ease-of-use perspecti've (this coming from a person with Linux on his laptop for the last few years). I had heard the X-Fi was a solid product, but it has again failed to impress me.
    Being vocal about things like this is important but, equally important, is dialogue. My hope in posting this is not to dri've Creative out of business, but rather to impress upon them the signal they are sending to their customers. I hope they respond positi'vely, not negati'vely, but we should encourage them to do so.

  • No sound from DVD pla

    Does anybody have the cure for this problem: - Since installing SOUNDBLASTER EXTERNAL sound card I can no longer hear the sound track from my DVD player

    Interisting case, it must be a compatibility issue.
    Test it with other DVD movies, run it with different software, i.e QuickPlay, Windows Media Player, VLC etc.

  • Auto upda

    whats the auto update link in support if its no good for any O/S? maybe except vista....
    hello people at CL but xp isn't quite redundant yet and alot more stable than vista. or should i say..the new windows millenium edition.
    i have a soundcard made by what should be the world best sound card creators yet its naff. all it does is bring up errors and i cant even run or start to load in teamspeak with this installed. soundblaster X-fi platinum! maybe i should just bin it and install and re-enable the soundcard i got with the mainboard it tends to work unlike the ?50 soundcard i bought. it might be a year old but its only actually been installed twice on 2 com
    ps.
    i would say the same comp but its like havin the same brush thats had 4 stales and 6 heads. i have replaced and rebuilt my game system to keep up with the new games over the last year and now has a ASUS crosshair mainboard and 4 gig of ram along with 4 250 gig HDD's -- only got data on one of those and thats only 20% full so whats the point? ... anyway the gold plated X-fi has been carefully looked after, installed and uninstalled placed in its orig packaging between the next install so why in the world is this the only thing on gods earth that gives me greif on the pc?
    windows xp media 2005

    well the X-fi is finally where it belongs and should have been at planning......in the bin in 2 halves! i have had an old SB li've audigy card for since it was released back in 2003-4. the console portion of it is long lost but the card was layin at the bottom of my periferal box for a few years and works perfect. i have been building pc's and gaming for many years and my advice to CL is simple. if you are going to initiate an auto update button for ease of driver/hardware scanning then dont have it soley for one O/S and test it on a few private machines before you add it to the site. windows vista isn't the only O/S out there so if your going to create new updated drivers then do it for all platforms, remember not alot of people like vista or the new windows ME that ms has brought out. and finally, if your going to produce "the mother of all soundcard's" (X-Fi)?make sure it works before you put a ?40+ price tag on it. I'm an end user, a paying customer who payed?over half a weeks wage on something that never worked right. like many on here, some who may have?actually saved for a few weeks/months to?buy that peice of high class garbage. I'm not having a dig or slating CL you do actually sometimes make some good stuff and are suppost to be the leaders in soundcards, the latest version unfortunately has let you down considerably. last time i spoke to a CL techy about it he said send the card back in its box with the bill of sale (proof of purchase) some tings dont get kept, i would imagin that somthing in its original box with the original papers and original driver disk and extra disk?would be proof enough but no CL require everything including what brand food the dog eats. before they consider checking it out. to me thats wrong. buy a snap on spanner or tool and break it..... snap on only require the busted tool as proof.

  • Creative Media Source + Windows XP Media Cen

    I have always used the Creative Media Source as an audio player and as a method of creating playlists etc.
    I just recieved a New Dell XPS400 with a Dell installed Soundblaster X-Fi Extreme Music card. This machine has WinXP Media Center Edition installed as an operating system, for which I did a clean re-install. In reistalling the software from the Creative disk that was supplied with the computer I noticed that Creative Media Source was not included as part of the package. I further noticed that the in the download section of the website that this isn't an available download for the Win XP Media Center OS, even though it is available for Win XP Home edition.
    Is there a compatibility problem in using the Creative Media Source with this OS ? Is there a conflict with the other Creative software that is typically installed with this card? In case it makes a difference; in playing back wav and mp3 audio files I am not interested in opening up the Win Media Center interface in order to play those files or create playlists, I simply want to associate those audio files to open and play with the Creative Media Source as I have always done with previous versions of Windows XP.
    Thanks for any advice and clearification !

    Hi m8. Just install the Windows XP version (Professional), and it will work, as I use Creative Media Source with Windows Media Center 2005, no problems. After, try the "product update" under support on the creative site, to see if there are any new things to update, just incase.

    If your system fits to these specifications then it should work, just make sure to completely uninstall the Li've! before installing this (and put the Audigy 2 ZS into a different PCI slot).
