Problem with Creative Audio Control Panel

) Heya, I just bought a SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio and I've encountered a problem with Creative Audio Control Panel. My OS is Win7 x64; I have installed the newest drivers for SB. The problem is that I can't set my setup for headphones. I mean I can do that and it's working untill I turn off the PC or restart the system. After that it always sets for 2/2. Speakers. Any ideas how to make this thing to remember my settings the way I want it's Thanks!

Need help removing Creative Audio Control Panel

So I've been trying to get the Creative Consol Launcher to work with my soundcard again and found that in my "Programs and Features" list in windows 7 there is one item of Creative labs software that I can not remove. It is called "Creative Audio Control Panel" and when I attempt to uninstall it it tells me "C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallSheild Installation Information\{7E96A7F-AFE3-47-87B-583E37639E8}\SUPPORT.Cab not found."
Whenever I try to use the Creative Console Launcher it tells me "There are no supported audio device[sic] available. You need to close the application. Click OK to close the application now."? I assume it's trying to launch Creative Audio Control Panel which for some reason or other is no longer present on my system but was never properly uninstalled. Also, great work on that error message - seems like Creative needs more proof readers.
In other words it seems the file I need in order to uninstall this broken program is missing - any idea what I should do? I've tried seeing if I can reinstall the program but I can't find any setup file for it online - all I can find is "Creative Console Launcher" which seems to intigrate a launcher feature into volpannel, but since it doesn't have the Creative Audio Control Panel to actualy launch it just gives me error messages if I want to get into my EAX settings or mixer or anything like that. If anyone knows how I can uninstall/reinstlal this program (in windows 7) I'ld be very greatful.

Well I believe I have found a solution to my problem and it is manyfold so here goes.
First off, Creative Customer Support Americas corresponded with me via e-mail and notified me that there are known issues with all PCI cards and Creative Audio Consol in Windows 7 (which is to say they don't work together at all).
After getting this info I removed my SB 0790 card and plugged in another one I had handy - it's still a SB X-FI Xtreme Audio but this one is has a PCIe interface and a digital audio in/out jack on the back to boot - this card is manufactured not by Creative but by MSI (licenced I assume) and came with my motherboard (good thing I had it laying around).
Initialy I had the same issue - even uninstalling everything related to creative and re-installing the hotest newest drivers from the site simply wouldn't resolve the issue. Finaly I downloaded a 3rd party program called CCleaner - a freeware utility that can clean up registry errors and delete items off the program list by force if need be (and it was in this case). I used that to completely eradicate Creative Audio Console and Creative Console Launcher, re-installed the latest drivers and audio pack for the PCIe card, and then even had windows update the driver again after that (the result of which was not a new driver version but it did seem to download and install something - no clue what). After all of that I once again had a functioning version of Creative Audio Consol back on my computer - and now it recognizes that I have a valid card installed and I've got access to all the features I was missing. The interface for Creative Audio Console looks a bit different than it used to (no longer a fake looking stero but instead a fairly plane interface) but whatever it's working and that's what I care about.
Oddly enough with all those installs it never put Volume Panel or Creative Consol Launcher back on my computer, I wound up having to install those off of the MSI card's driver disk to get easy access to the Creative Audio Panel again (otherwise I'd have to either make a shortcut or go straight into the install directory any time I want to launch it - now though I can launch it right through the Volum Panel).
One persistant issue still remains: In my recording audio device list I am still missing: "What U Hear" but it has been this way since I installed Windows 7 for the first time in October when it releaed, and I have given up hope on ever seeing What U hear again - If I want to record from my soundcard I have a 3rd party freeware utility called "Virtual Audio Cables" that are a bit clunky but get the job done.
Conclusion:
Though it may claim on Creative's support page for the SB0790 (Sound Blaster X-FI Xtreme Audio) soundcard that the latest drivers support Windows 7 it is abundantly clear that this is NOT the case. You will manage to get audio out of it, but almost no other creative aplication is going to work with your card or even detect that a valid working SB card is installed. It seems the only aplication I could get working relyably was the auto updator (which was able to see I had the card installed) and Volume Panel. By the admission of Creative Customer Support America, however Creative Audio Panel will not work, and I have observed that Creative Consol Launcher does not function properly either. Indeed even plowing through the file system you'll find support only for XP and Vista versions of the drivers - there is no Win7 specific driver for either this card or it's PCIe counterpart.
Also don't expect to have access to the "What U Hear" utility - this goes for the PCIe version of the card as well. As ever, it seems the marketing guys are making claims about the card that can't actualy be backed up, sure it's techincaly illegal, but only if your customers are willing to start a class action lawsuit over a 50 dollar soundcard that sort-of works anyway.
Issue resolved for now - and I am no longer pulling my hair out in frustration.

Creative Audio Control Panel

I have just installed Windows 7. With an update to my bios, and newest drivers from both Micorosft and my motherboards website. I installed the newest drivers from Creative for my Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio, and installed the Audio Conrol Panel. Every time i try and open the control panel I get this error below. Is anyone else having this issue. Any help would be great. Thanks in advice.
"The audio device supported by this application is not detected.
The applicaiton will exit."
Thanks!!

?Thanks for the link.
The beta Console Launcher has installed without a problem but the Audio Control Panel still isn't appearing in Window 7's Control Panel. The Console Launcher didn't install an Audio Control Panel in the Start Menu though and I thought that the Audio Control Panel was installed with the drivers rather than the Console Launcher (I could be wrong though).

Audio device not detected by Creative Audio Control Panel

I cannot get creative audio control panel to work, I keep getting an error message saying the audio device supported by this application is not detected. I have had this problem using xp, vista and now windows 7. It seems to work after a reformat and clean install but will eventuslly stop working again for some reason.
I have read a few posts with people having the same problem but cannot find a solution.
It is getting quite annoying having to reformat all the time just to temporarily?fix this so if anyone can help it would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.

I also looked at the details of the driver and it shows a whole buch of driver, even two unsigned. Are all these neccesary? Maybe I have to many old drivers conflicting?

Also the volume mixer seems empty, although it shows the playback device when pointing over the square, I can't select it.

Sound Blaster ZXR Creative Audio Control panel

Hi. I bought a soundblaster ZXR. I uninstalled the driver for the old sound blaster X-Fi card, then shut off my computer and installed the ZXR card (which fits into a different slot than the X-Fi did), then restarted the computer and installed the software for the ZXR.
My situation is as follows: when I click on the Creative Audio Control panel, I get a message saying "The audio device supported by this application is not detected". I looked thru the internet and the general advice seems to be that the software for the older X-Fi card is not easily removed, and to remove it, I should uninstall the ZXR software, remove the ZXR card, re-install the old X-Fi card, then use some rather advanced techniques to make sure all of the software for the X-Fi card is uninstalled, then turn off the computer and take out the X-Fi card, then install the ZXR card, and re-install the software for the ZXR card. With some reluctance, I was about to do that, but then I noticed a folder called Sound Blaster Z Series was installed, so I opened it and clicked on Sound Blaster Z Series Control Panel, and a program opened up which allows me to make some changes to my sound set up.
My question is - When I click on the Creative Audio Control panel, am I supposed to get a message saying "The audio device supported by this application is not detected", because the Sound Blaster Z Series Control Panel is taking it's place? ...or does that error message tell me that there's something that I should address to avoid any future problems. I want to learn how to work with various sound programs, like sound forge, cakewalk, acid pro, kontakt, etc. and I want to start with a proper setup to help me avoid any unneeded frustrations. I have a fairly new computer with an ASUS P8H77 motherboard. Under Device Manager - Sound, Video and game controllers, I have the following entries:
High Definition Audio Device
Sound Blaster Audio Controller
Sound Blaster ZxR
Sound Blaster ZxR DBpro
I right clicked the High Definition Audio Device, then disabled it, but that didn't help so I enabled it again.
Thanks.

The Creative Audio Control Panel is a single entry leftover from your old X-FI. Uninstall just that. Then you can make a shortcut to the other you were speaking off and put that shortcut wherever you wish. I uninstalled an X-FI before and I had that control panel left over even after uninstalling what I thought was everything.

WoW SB Tap Chat not working, not visible in Creative Audio Control Panel

I just received one of the new Sound Blaster World of Warcraft Tap Chat foot pedals and so far... it's not been a joy to use
The problem is that the device does not show up in the Audio Control panel (the creative panel) as a configurable device. I have the WoW wireless headset and it is on and active (otherwise the panel will not display). The Tap Chat is supposed to display on the list of options under Illumination, THX, Game Audio, Key Bindings and then the Tap Chat should be listed.
I'm running the latest drivers for the WoW headset (1.01.0001). Windows 7 64-bit. The audio control panel lists as version 1.00.05 (in the panel about screen).
During installation (reinstallation actually trying to fix the problem) the Tap Chat pedal is listed in the registration application, so I know it's installed correctly and IS visible to SOME creative apps (ie the registration app, not very helpful) but not the audio control panel.
I think it's either 1) the panel is an older version and does not know about the pedal (even though I've updated to the latest) or something else is fishy.
Help welcome!
Thanks,

I've already called your support group. They didn't even know that the product EXISTED. Nor did they have any idea what the problem is.
It's pretty obvious the problem is due to the device not being detected on 64bit systems (yes, I can see the device on a 32 bit machine).
So if anyone has Windows 7 64bit they are probably going to be sadly dissapointed with this device.
Also configuration only works if you have the WoW headset plugged in... which is really odd considering you don't need the headset to use the device once configured (you can use it anywhere without drivers since it is essentially a keyboard with only one key).

Mac OS X, WoW Wireless headset Audio Control Panel

Any updates on the Audio Control panel? As far as I know no mac user has gotten it to work with the headset. The error I found and posted (emailed as well) i hope would have been a lead to fixing it. Any news would be great.
Posting the error again just incase it's gotten over looked (posted in an other thread).
This is about a bug I found in the os X version of the wow wireless headset control panel.
Running the "Audio Control Panel" in the "Sound Blaster World Of Warcraft Audio Control Panel app" I get the following error. (.app are really just packages, so right click on it and view package and you'll find the real app in there under Contents\MacOS\Audio Control Panel).

The headset works for me... but the control panel does not.
I get this error:
None of the features work. Not EQ, not voice FX, not THX - NOTHING.
And there is no way to clean uninstall to reinstall the drivers - I am having to manually sniff around the system folder... Try and resintstall - same issue.
Is there not a Beta Driver we can try and help with?
Cause this is an expensive failure right now.

Lost Beats Audio Control Panel, Windows Experience Index and HP Power Manager on fresh install...

HP Pavilion m6-1035dx, product B5S06UA#ABA
Please help! I installed a 240gb SanDisk Extreme SSD and a fresh install of Win 7 home premium 64-bit OEM. I did not reinstall the factory OS and all that goes along with it. I have managed to reinstall all drivers (it seems) but am having the following problems: 1) I have installed IDT HD Audio Driver sp56953 but it does not provide the Beats Audio control panel, any idea how to get it? 2) The Windows Experience Index will not provide a performance evaluation, something in the system is providing it with an error message when it attempts to rate the system and it stops. 3) I have installed HP Power Manager sp57398 and can bring up the control panel but the changes I indicate will not stay applied, when I bring up Power Manager again it show that no selections are made. I knew this fresh install was going to provide headaches, please help if you can. Thanks.

I suspect this may all be related to a common cause.
When updating the windows experience index, what is the error message you receive?
Has the video card driver been installed? It is necessary for the windows experience index to complete.
Also, ensure the HP Software Framework is installed. It is under the Software Solutions category.
You did a clean install of Windows 7. Has all the software and drivers for Windows 7 from HP been installed? Here is a link should you need it.

ITunes Cannot Run It Has Detected a Problem With Your Audio Configuration

Well... I've just come back from christmas with my new green iPod nano (second gen), and I try to use iTunes. It has an "...unknown error (-200)." So I download the new iTunes. NOW it says "iTunes Cannot Because Run It Has Detected a Problem With Your Audio Configuration." I've tryed the support but it doesn't have any WORKING solution. If SOMEONE could PLEASE tell me whats going on, I'd be REALLY greatful.
I've been trying to figure this out for almost 3 days now and I'm hanging by a string here.
HP Pavillion Windows XP Windows Media Edition

It is your QuickTime application, actually. What you want to do is go into your Control Panel, and then Add/Remove Programs. Find QuickTime, click on it, and click on Remove, and then follow through the prompts to uninstall QuickTime.
Then, go here to reinstall it:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
Make sure you choose the second option that says QuickTime for Windows (NOT the QuickTime with iTunes).
Go through the download and install, and whenever it completes, try to launch iTunes.

X220 Smart Audio Control Panel failed to initialize smart audio

Cannot seem to start Smart Audio control panel get error every time. Currently running latest driver 8.32.23.2. Can anybody please help? I need to access the Smart Audio to control displayport audio settings. Aside from that the audio seems to work fine.

Yes, this is what I thought also. But I don't think it does. It has the s-bracket JSP2 connector but it (s-bracket) doesnt work.
It really doesnt matter now though as you can see I listed it on ebay with my old cpu. I will likely buy me an EPoX 8RDA+. It outperforms the 6570 in performance and has all the bells and whistles.
MSI has some horrible customer service. However, I must admit you have been very responsive and helpful but, you are not live tech suport.
I do appreciate it nonetheless. :D
I called their support long distance number and was on hold for about 45 minutes, off and on, and the last time I was on hold I put my phone on speakerphone and went in the other room. The guy came back on said, "hello sir? Hel..Click!" I didn't have time to say anything! I was so pissed I wanted to take my motherboard back right then. He kept having to ask other people questions about my problem. It was just plain rediculous. That is just one of the reasons this motherbaord is on ebay. I about to put my MSI Geforce4 4600 vtd on ebay also because I dont want to have to deal with MSI CS.
Thank you again, for all your help

Error message -ITunes has detected a problem with your audio config...HELP

error message - itunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. audio/video playback may not operate properly...
ive gone through the itunes support steps such as reinstalling quicktime and itunes and nothing seems to work... itunes still open...but then nothing plays...please help me

I've cobbled together a few ideas courtesy of some posts made by the inimitable b noir concerning this particular problem .
First ...
... let's try swapping out your QuickTime, taking a few additional explicit precautions this time.
head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
Next, we’ll manually remove any leftover program files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
7. Restart your computer.
next, we'll get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch properly now?
Next ...
If you're still getting the message with a fresh quicktime in place, let's check to see if something is awry with your sound card.
Open your "Sounds and Audio Devices" control panel. Click the "Audio" tab. Is the correct default device showing up in the "Sound Playback" area?

When I open Itunes on my PC it says, Itunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/video playback may not operate properly

When I open Itunes on my PC it says, Itunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/video playback may not operate properly. I removed some unused programs from my pc before this happened and I think I may have removed something I shouldn't have.

I had this same problem and my sixteen year old figured it out. Since the Windows PC running iTunes (which supports a housefull of AppleTVs) was running in a closet, he suspected it was due to having no speakers attached.
Sure enough, when I went into control panel to look at my sound settings, I noticed something I had missed previously. There was a red mark on the device. I took his advice and plugged in some earphones to the speaker jack and, wallah, the red mark turned green and the iTunes warning never popped up again.
