Problem updating Audigy 2 NX driv

I have a Dell 8600 notebook with an Audigy 2 NX. I have no problem installing and running the device when using the original driver from the disc, however when I try to update to the newer drivers I get nothing but crackling and screaching noises.
I have had this problem for a while now, support were of no help to me so I decided that i would li've with it for a while. I have just reinstalled my system and thought I would try the new drivers again but again I have the same problem. I can li've with original driver but I think this means that the device is only connected as a USB . device, is this right? If anyone can help me with this I would be very greatful as it is starting to annoy me now.

This is just a thought but it may be possible if you use 3rd part drivers for your 2nd card.
So, try these drivers for NX and use original (Creative bundled) drivers for MP3+.
NOTE: I have never had USB cards, so I have not tested if USB-ASIO driver shows as another driver on your driver list(s). It's also seems to be compatible with both of your cards.

  • Lenovo Drivers Insufficient for update to 8.1 - Driver problem - H430

    Lenovo Drivers Insufficient  for update to 8.1 - Driver problem  (USB?) - H430
    my lenovo H430 is about 6 months old - worked okay with preinstalled Windows 8
    After update to Windows 8.1 computer no longer seemed to work well at all, although I am unable to provide hard evidence, but clearly it was not working as smoothly as in the previous 8 version with lots of irritating little problems - including sound.  
    One thing that very clearly was not functioning as it had in 8 version was the USB disconnect icon. In 8 you only had to click on icon and the USB selection window would open immediately. Additionally all USB connections would be shown - back and front USB.  Select the USB to be disconnected and it would be disconnected immediately (providing not in use). After update to 8.1 this was no longer the case.
    In 8.1 disconnect icon no longer worked as it had done in 8. After clicking on icon there was now always a lengthy pause, followed by the sound of the computer working (whirring sound) and then after a while the USB selection window would finally open. Sometimes it was necessary to click on icon a few times to get any reaction at all. A small MP3 player I had charged up on my computer every morning (front USB) in windows 8, was always in USB list, and disconnected without problem in 8. In 8.1 it was no longer in list and only charged sporadically  (would stop charging, but if I clicked on USB  icon it would start charging again - although still not shown in USB list).
    After about two weeks of 8.1 my screen suddenly - but only briefly - went black twice. I ran a sfc /scannow. problems were found but could not be resolved. I did a  Dism /Online/Clean-Image/RestoreHealth  this was reported as being successful.  About two days later my computer went into blue screen BSOD - "critical-services-failure" - from which I was unable to get out of. The only option open was the Lenovo restore option. Computer was returned to factory state with los of all data.
    back to Windows 8 the computer once again worked okay - no problems - and USB icon once again worked correctly (including with MP3 player).
    About 2 weeks later after receiving MS messages to update to 8.1 I called Lenovo support and asked about update to drivers for 8.1.
    the following list was given:
    Chipset: Intel chipset Driver for Windows 8.1 (64-bit) Version : 9.4.0.1022
    Video: CPP2 AMD DISCRETE VGA CARD DRIVER for Windows 8.1 (64-bit) Version: 13.152
    Audio: Realtek Audio Driver for Windows 8.1 (64-bit) Version: 6.0.1.7030
    LAN: Realtek Lan Driver for Windows 8.1 (64-bit) Version: 8.018.0621.2013
    STORAGE: Intel RST Driver for Windows 8.1 (64-bit) - Desktop Version: 12.8.0.1016
    I updated to 8.1 and then updated all the above drivers (no USB driver update was available).
    The same problems as the last update to 8.1 and USB was as bad as it was in last 8.1
    Some days later my computer went into blue screen BSOD once again - although this time did not stay stuck there, and quickly restarted - due to speed of restart I did not get time to read all the text and discover the cause of BSOD.
    Computer is still running badly - particularly the USB icon disconnect.
    Called Lenovo support but they have been no help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Lenovo are failing us with the 8.1 update and the  DRIVERS FOR 8.1
    BSOD
    all i could find was this: (probably refers to after BSOD - the restarting part after BSOD???)

    I have now seen the suggestion by Tomaspoko and Brillow at http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-Edge-S-series​/Windows-8-1-update-S440-ThinkPad-black-screen-wit​...
    Despite the AMD driver giving an error during install at the last stage of the suggested fix, this has now yielded a working switchable graphics for my S540 for the first time with Windows 8.1.  Catalyst Control Center also works for the first time, so thank you to both the above-mentioned posters for a solution that does work.
    Hopefully in time AMD will release a non-broken updated AMD driver and CCC package.
    Thanks again for a nice solution from this forum - the problem was driving me nuts!

  • Thanks for the updated Audigy 2 driver

    I don't know if anyone else has said this but I justed wanted to thank Creative for the updated Audigy 2 drivers. I believe you ultimately did a good thing. I also believe in the long run it'll pay off as you'll get bug reports (like I'm about to post) to help improve the product. If you'll come out with a PCI-Express version of the X-fi, I'll remember this...
    Again, thanks for the drivers!!

    Hey bdkj,
    What I meant was I copied back the user/cindy/library/mail folder contents from the laptop backup so as to resurrect my Mail boxes, accounts, emails.
    bdkj I emptied & trashed the caches as you suggested, still no luck.
    I've also noticed as soon as Mail starts to lock up and show declining 30gigs on my drive, I disconnect the internet, quit Mail and my laptop seems to come back to normal. One weird thing...during the Mail glitch when I watch my drive drop from 30gig available to 28 to 25...once Mail is closed and I go on with word processing, browsing, my drive numbers come back up to the 30gigs actually available. Is this weird or what? The entire Mail crap out/quit Mail/drive returns to 30gigs all takes about 2 minutes to transpire. Thank you
    Cindy

  • Problems updating Adobe flash drive player

    When I tried to update the Adobe flash drive player, it won't take the name already put in( which is different from my Adobe ID) with my current password. How do I fix that?

    But it won't accept my newly reset adobe password so I can install the update and get rid of the plug-in blocks on websites I desperately want to see!

  • What are the best audigy 2 zs drive

    ones that will wok best and sound best with everything, whether they're official or not
    I bought an audigy 2 zs but all i'm doing is having problems with it, probably all driver problems and i've tried different ones on different setups/computers/formats and continue having problems:
    -dvd audio like that on the demo cd that came with it does not play
    -hissing on certain speakers, and happens randomly on all speakers too
    -adobe premier not bootng. gives a 0xc0000005 error, i remember googling it and the first thing that came up was adobe telling me i had a vaio notebook and i needed to update something that has something to do with audio that i didn't have installed on my dell. I'm sure it was my audigy 2 drivers because it happened right after i updated them.
    -fable (pc game) not booting. it doesn't really give an error aside from windows urging me to send a report of this error to them
    -creative audio console always defaults to 2. setup from 4. setup for no reason, I have to switch it back all the time since i have a 4. setup. it happens randomly even if the computer was on the whole time.
    I'm sure I've been having other problems that i can't remember. thank you for all your help!

    I forgot to mention that the adobe premier problem only happened after me updating to beta drivers (off this website) so maybe that's my fault.
    the rest of the problems have happpened, and continue to happen with using all drivers I've tried. all of them were official, i've tried the ones right off the cd i got, and using autoupdate.

  • Audigy 2 NX Driver Li

    System?I am using a Shuttle Core 2 Duo system with 4 GB of memory (of which 3.25 GB is recognised) running Windows XP Professional. Soundcard?I use an external Audigy 2 NX. Initial Problem?My PC crashed as a result of a driver problem. On reboot the soundcard did not function. All of the lights on blinked together every two or three seconds. When I went to COntrol Panel and looked at the Sound Devices it did not appear in the drop down list. Steps taken?I tried to run a repair installation of the drivers from the original driver CD. The install aborted giving me the following message:
    0x800402?"An event was unable to invoke any of the subscribers" I next tried to uninstall the drivers by selecting them via Control Panel/Add Remove Programs. The removal process began and then stalled at 60% giving the same 0x800402 error. In consequence I cannot uninstall or reinstall the drivers. The card now produces no light when plugged into the mains and a USB port. The on/off button does not appear to be functioning. However, the optical port has its red light,?Help needed?If the soundcard has died I would like to be told and I will replace it. Otherwise (in fact in any event) I would appreciate some help in performing a manual removal of the drivers. Many thanks?Sean

    in 0 times installing sp2 9 times the whole system crash
    i have no time to make experiments because there is no good sp driver for my audigy 2
    the problem is with the original driver the AC3 digital output is not working correctly
    what do you do in the test phase? looking the card:
    "oh how nice card!"
    the driver update is 2MB ?!
    it is an global trend, that the HW producing companies doesnt care about the good drivers, and doesnt care the problems

  • Mac App Store updating apps on _other_ drive :-(

    A little background first - wanted to not just jump right in in upgrading to Mountain Lion (10.8.0), so I got (same brand) external USB HD, formatted it, installed Mountain Lion on that. (With some assistance from Apple Support...) I have moved most all my apps and documents over to the (external) ML drive (500GB). Also have many apps bought through MAS and installed on the ML-500 external drive. When I want to use ML, I boot up from it; other times, I will boot up with Snow Leopard (10.6.8) on the internal drive (320GB) to use a few apps where I haven't had all their docs transmogrified to 10.8-compatible apps. Most of the time now, things have been workable and fine.
    In the past couple of days, I have discovered that apparently when I had logged into the MAS to update my ML-compatible apps, the MAS (unbeknown to me) updated the older (10.6.8-compatible) apps I had there, including iWork '08 (which had been updated as far as 10.6.8 updates would take them).
    So now, it appears (since version numbers are the same for the Numbers, Pages and Keynote apps between the two OS drives) that I have (non-10.6.8-compatible) apps on the Snow Leopard (internal) drive, that won't run when I start up with 10.6.8. The icons on the 10.6.8 drive for Numbers, Pages, and Keynote (which were inside an iWork '08 folder, inside the Applications folder, on the internal/10.6.8 drive) have the 'not' circle and line across them when I view them running from the Mac OS X 10.6.8 (internal) drive. Haven't checked other MAS-downloaded 10.6-compatible purchased apps, so there may be more 'over-updated' apps...
    I know that I have my original iWork '08 DVD (and likely, can go back through my Time Machine backups to try to find my latest versions under 10.6.8) and can re-install (and then install all the updates since then under 10.6.8) to get them back, but I would think  - since OS X install discs check a drive for the system version number before installing - that MAS would be setup to FIRST check what the OS X version for a drive with Pages/Numbers/Keynote/other Apple non-system apps, before installing a version over an app (that renders it useless for that version of OS X).
    Even though I can possibly (with much time/updates/re-installs) get my earlier apps back on the internal drive, my concern is - how can I stop MAS from once again 'over-updating' those apps? If the MAS can check and tell me that an app I want to download requires 10.7 or 10.8, it would seem to make equal sense for it to check first whether I have (on different drives) 10.6.8 and 10.8 versions of the same app, and ONLY update the most recent one, NOT all of them.
    Makes me wonder if Apple thinks that NO ONE out here is running separate partitions or drives with different operating systems for different app needs. I am very sure that there are specfic-market applications out there that companies, laboratories and others need to get tasks done (and for which there is not yet so far a Lion or Mountain Lion-compatible version), so those people/companies/etc. are likely running different OS partitions or startup drives. So WHY does the MAS not check first? Or more importantly, is there some way to stop/limit the updates so ONLY one drive gets updated?

    Hello Dahveed, thank you for your answer but this is not good at all. These are not core applications. For instance i want all my games to be on external Hard drive (for instance X3 is about 8 Gb). For having my home folder on external HD this is not good at all too.
    Why i should change my way to work and manage my files just for a logical problem ?
    Furthermore, the Mac App Store app detects i have the application already installed even if it is on external HD, so there are only 2 solutions : there is a bug into the mac app store application for managing apps OR this is pretty bad for users to have the apps sequestrated into the home folder.
    You can see even iTunes with the music rights management system is able to let you have musics managed by user.
    Do you have another solution ?
    Thank you

    Hi There
    Am having a big problem updating my iphone 4 Apps, due to a problem with my password for my apple id. But it seems that i have two different ids, one for the updates and another for the downloads. I am not able to retrieve my Id password for updating my Apps. Can you help me ps?
    Thank you

    What program did you use to fix the internal hard drive? What repairs did it report making? More crucially, if repairs were reported, did you re-run the utility until it reported no problems found? It's possible for one set of problems with a drive to mask others.
    If you have about 5GB or so free space on the internal hard drive, you can use your OS X Install disc to perform an Archive and Install to recover from the failed Software Update. When the computer restarts, download and run the OS X Update Combo 10.4.11 (Universal). When the Mac restarts after that, run Software Update. During all this, make sure nothing interrupts or shuts down the Mac! Note that the first start after each of these updates will take significantly longer than subsequent starts, so be very patient.
    How did you back up your internal drive to the external one? Did you just drag things over in the Finder, or did you use a utility such as SuperDuper! or CarbonCopyCloner? Does the external HD show up as a bootable volume in System Preferences > Startup Disk, or using Startup Manager?

  • Your firmware can not be updated because the hard drive...SMC 1.3

    Your firmware can not be updated because the hard drive partition scheme may not be supported. You must be booted from a GUID partiton or RAID scheme.
    When I went into Disk Utility in order to check, here is what I have =

    I thought Boot Camp could be involved becauseI know it's the only thing related to the EFI.
    I searched on internet, and Ifound nothing. There was a solution in order to reset the partition table, but the tool is no longer available. The link on on the application explains that I have to reformat my macbook pro. I find a bit weird to make this , I can't spend hours for backup / restore just because the SMC update does not work. have you any lead for me ?
    Thanks ,

    Have you tried this:
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

  • Problem updating Nokia N97 firmware over the arir ...

    OK here goes,
    I'm having some real problems updating the firmware on my white nokia N97
    I recently bought it of the web as a 12 month contract onto t-mobile (not there website though) in th uk
    After noticing some problems i googled and noticed a firmware update had been released on 1st july 2009
    I tried to get the firmwae over the air (OTA) via typing in *#0000# and selecting check for updates. I get no updates available for nokia and t-mobile (unsure what the difference is?)
    So i heard try using nokia software updater.
    i downloaded latest version 1.6.13 and installed it on a windows vista 32-bit home premium laptop ok
    i have also installed all of the stuff that came with the cd with the phone (ovistore etc )
    when i plug the phone into the laptop i get four options (PC, media, usb and something else) first time it ran it installed the necessary drivers and so therefore when i now plug it it just connects as expected.
    so the laptop is detecting the nokia n97 at this stage
    when i then load nokia software updater click next i put the phone into general mode on full charge with a sim card in it and click next again to detect the phone is pc suite mode
    after about 2 minutes it says it can detect the phone although i can go to my computer and traverse the folder view!
    i can even set it off looking for the phone pluggin it in and the autoplay options of vista will kick in in the background detecting the phone (ie outisde scope of nokia software updater)
    i have tried all different connections mode pc suite mode etc different profiles nothing. tried it onto different pcs with different windows version on it. tried reinstalling software updater
    my software version is 10.0.012 and my product code is 0587240
    interestingly when i goto the can i update on nokias website it says no i have the latest version when i supply this information. weird
    im kinda in catch 22 because there is a bug with pc usb detection of the phone in version 10 but i cant update to version 11 because of this bug
    its driving me nuts any help greatly appreciated
    thanks in advance
    Cheers

    just what i wanted cheers nokia
    It will break your facebook as you have re-formatted the C: drive of you phone. Was you facebook installed to the E: drive by any chance?
    Go to OVI Store and re-install it. 
    It may be work installing it from OVI Store then un-installing that one to clean off the mess you have been left with post formatt and then re-installing it fresh from OVI Store.
    As I always say. Before doing a re-format always  uninstall all apps/widgests before doing a hard reset or factory reset.
    I also do a this and a factory reset before firmware updates to clean my phone. Should really do a hard reset/format as this would be cleaner still, but tehn I would have to do a lot more set-up afterwards.

  • Anybody have problems updating from Leopard 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard 10.6.3, or can I expect an easy update?

    Anybody have problems updating from Leopard 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard 10.6.3, or can I expect an easy update?

    You shouldn't have too much trouble provided you have a relatively clean system.
    You should backup your personal users folders off the machine to a regular storage drive (not TimeMachine) and disconnect.
    10.6 upgrade strips out the 10.5 PPC code your not using and offers faster video drivers and some neat features like Exposé and Spaces which is highly productive as you can have 4-16 desktops visible at once and move stuff around between them (10.7 ripped that out)
    10.6 is the fastest OS X version Apple has made, 10.5 is universal (more code and older video drivers) and 10.7 is slower than 10.6 in tests on the same hardware.
    Your 10.5 install disk should be working, (check it first) stick it in and reboot holding the c key down, you should be able to boot from the disk. Apple isn't offering replacement 10.5 disks anymore so it needs to work in case you want to downgrade from 10.6.
    You can learn how to make copies of your 10.5 disk online. I would do so.
    You might decide to Carbon Copy Cloner (free/donations) your present 10.5 system to a blank external powered drive, you then can hold the option key and boot from it, erase and reverse clone back to your internal drive if you wish.
    10.6 will run all your 10.5 software (some may need a update) as it has Rosetta, a compatibility system for 10.5 code. 10.7 does not, it will not run your present Rosetta/10.5 software at all, you will have to buy all new versions. Also older hardware likely won't work neither, like printers, scanners and all-in-ones etc as their drivers either won't get a update or they won't make one to force a premature hardware turnover.
    If your upgrading your older 10.5 machine to 10.7, I'd advise against it, there isn't as much software ready for 10.7 (like 10.6) because it's forcing developers to rewrite their PPC based code
    10.7 is slower and more glitchs than 10.6, more depressing gray all over and strange UI changes.
    Also 10.8 is due out this summer and may not run on older hardware, so it's looking like you will be best off with 10.6.8 and leaving it at that to get the most software choice/performance and leave 10.8 for a new hardware/software purchase.
    If your going to 10.7 anyway, then check this database to make sure the software your going to have to buy is ready or not. IMO, Lion for you and your older machine is a wasted effort and better the new software on a new hardware purchase.

    I must admit though I throughly hate OS X Lion, as do a lot of other people,  it's only because it's quality is absolutely terrible and unbecoming of Apple, likely why Mountain Lion 10.8 is being released this summer a year in advance and only a year after Lion. However my opinion about Lion's poor quality isn't relfected in my advice to you. For you it's more of a older hardware/have to buy all new software type deal which a newer machine with 10.8 and promises to be better/more refined OS than 10.7.
    So in other words, upgrade to 10.6.8 and stay there, save your pennies for a new machine Early 2013, by then 10.8 would have several months and a lot of software/bugs worked out for it.

  • Problem updating itunes to 10.7

    Hi im having a problem updating my itunes from 10.6.3.25 to 10.7. Basically if im updating using the the apple software update it finishes downloading and when it gets to verifying the file i get a error message that says ' "ITunes" has an invalid signature. It will not be installed'. Ive also downloaded the file manually from the apple site and when i click on it to install, both normal and run as admin, it doesnt do anything. You see a wee loading bar for literally a second at most and then it disapears. Any help is appreciated thanks.

    Mmm... it gets worse.  At about the fifth attempt it appeared to install okay but when I restarted my PC I got the error message
    "iTunes was not properly installed.  If you want to import or burn CDs you need to reinstall iTunes."
    Running diagnostics suggests there's something wrong with the CD Drive connectivity although it seems to be working okay.
    I tried to restore to a previous version, but that seems to have thrown up other error messages.
    Guess I'll have to reinstall.  What a pain.

  • I need an update for my DVD Drive HP & not rely on Microsoft

    I am having a HP DVD problem & i tend to disagree if ya say that my DVD drive (HP DVD RW AD-7586H)  needs replacing. My dvd drive works when it wants to (Has a mind of its own). The latest update for my DVD Drive is 21/06/2006 (7+ year old way out of date driver). Ive uninstalled my DVD Drive & re-installed after bootup & that didnt do nothing & i have used quite a few programs to update my driver (Driverbooster, DriverScanner etc) & there is never, ever an update for my DVD Drive via DriverBooster, DriverScanner or my HP Suppoort Assistant. EVER. If HP can give me a BIOS update, why dont you send me a DVD Drive update via me HP Support Assistant HP????  Well i think its a bout time HP should create an update to fix all DVD problems instead of relying on Microsoft to fix it. If my DVD Drive was Windows well i'd use the microsoft Fixits, but considering its a HP DVD drive , i think HP should fix the problem, not Microsoft.

    What you see in divice manager is the control driver for the dvd drive, what you are really needing to look at is the firmware version on your dvd drive & see if a newer firmware is available.
    Generally a lot of faults even intermitant ones are more hardware than firmware, drives are very cheap though & a 2 minute job to replace if needed plus you can source a better quality drive & spec as desired.
    i think KH21 is newest firmware for that dvd drive.
