Problems installing USB Audigy

Heya!I'm having trouble installing my audigy2nx to my laptop. I had it working before, but as my harddri've crashed I had to send the laptop in and am now reinstalling my system. I start windows, plug in, then turn on the audigy and the hardware wizzard appears. I cancel that and start the install off the cd. Both drivers and media-source install with no trouble, it asks me to reboot, I do, and the next time windows starts the creative bar appears, but can't detect my soundblaster. Only the hardware wizzard starts. Nothing is listed in my device manager under sound or usb devices as creative. Only in my add/remove programs I can see the Drivers, the media source and the system information. Things I've tried:Cleansweep uninstall as described on the website using msconfig and D:\Audio\Drivers\CTZAPXX.exe sbusb.ini (btw - found two different descriptions: do you have to delete the creative folder in program files? And do you need to use regedit's)and reinstall. Turning off my anti-virusTrying to install it without the audigy connected(doesn't work, install moans and aborts)Deinstalled my onboard sound(didn't have to that the last time(ran the audigy when it was on and otherwise the onboard took over)?and now I've got no sound whatsoever - thanks for that advice from the email - support, btw)Only installing the drivers and nothing elseplugging it into different usb-plugs?My system is up to date winXP pro sp2. and as I said the hardware is the same as when it was running before apart from that HD obviously. I presume there is a really easy answer to this like some stupid little box that needs checking/unchecking. I've now installed and deinstalled it loads of times and it's upsetting me. There must be some detail of installing or deinstalling I'm missing or I should know. I've followed the install and uninstall to the letter. Do you have to use regedit in the uninstall? And after using that msconfig bit - do u leave its setting for install or not? I've tried both, but just checking. The only bit of software that has changed since before reinstalling is the antivirus(avast) which I've turned off each time during install. Otherwise the only thing I can think of is the anti-adware program (adaware Se personal & spybot search and destroy)that offered some system immunisation, which might get in the way, but neither of them run in the background as far as I can tell. Can they have an effect?I read somewhere that plugging the device into another computer could help - is there something to that?Help me, please
!!! Cheers,Ben

No I can't help you but I'll bump your thread. I'm having the same problem with my Neo2 Platinum and my case but I won't hijack your thread. Hopefully you can find someone who has the same case and motherboard. I noticed that the wiring of my case and the motherboard aren't exactly identical or straight forward. Good luck figuring yours out

I have got a brand new W510 that i am doing a clean install of Windows 7.
However i have faced major problems with installing from a USB stick attached to the W510.
Please notice that there isn't any problem installing Windows 7 to my other PC from this USB stick, this problem is only present with W510.
I have the BIOS from Lenovo v 1.35, Bios settting are reset to default to isolate any faulty settings.
In the readme file the say they have fixed some USB detection problems by Windows. bug still present??
Version 1.35 (BIOS ID: 6LET74WW) [for BIOS ID 6Lxxxxxx-based computer]
[Problem fixes]
- Fix an issue that a USB device is not recognized by Windows connecting
to USB 3.0 port.
Below is picture of the problem.
First i choose to boot from my USB Stick Sandisk Cruzer which Windows 7 files are placed, i know these files and the USB stick works with my other computer.
Picture 1
Next step when it boots
Picture 2
I press Install Now
Picture 3
This warning message comes up, can't find driver device
Picture 4
I click browse and try to find my USB stick, none of my USB sticks are listed, is this a Lenovo BIOS bug or Windows 7 Installation detection problem??

I think you need to fix your links, you seem to have maybe copied the post from another board / forum, the link style you have inserted doesn't work here.

Problem installing win7 in bootcamp via usb

Hi, I switched my early 2011 MBP's superdrive with a Corsair SSD a couple of months ago and managed to install windows 7 on it with a usb key and bootcamp using the VMWare method (A long and tricky process, but it worked). Everything was working well until some system files on my win7 drive were damaged (Impossible to launch the wlan service, frequent random freezes, etc.). I tried to repair the system install but wasn't able to do so (Impossible to repair on boot since I have no DVD drive and my system restore option was unabled for disk space reasons...). I then tried to reinstall (overwrite) windows 7 via bootcamp (I created a new win7 install usb stick, then tried to reinstall it at boot but it said something like "No installation disc found, please insert the win7 install dvd and press any key", in other words, windows boot utility wasn't able to see my usb stick).
Now, my situation is the following: I managed to boot back on OSX, I see my second SSD but it's now empty and formatted as "BOOTCAMP" (not a problem since I want to reinstall win7 completely).
Is there any way I could still make a fresh win7 install via USB on that SSD drive or is it easier if I just remove the second SSD from my MBP and install win7 on it by connecting it to my PC...?
Thank you,
Jean.

Installation problems installing new Canon MG3170 onto MAC Book Pro with OS X 10.7.5. Tried installing using set up disk. Didn't work. Uninstalled files and downloaded drivers from Canon Website. Didn't work. Uninstalled again and plugged printer usb

Having problems installing Canon MG3170. Anyone have any solutions? Here is what I have tried:-
-Installed from provided Canon disk, firstly with wireless connection, then using USB connection. Printer could not be added because the Macbook returns that the software is not available from Apple for both types of connections.
-Uninstalled software from the Canon disk, checked for software updates, then downloaded drivers (printer and scanner) from Canon Website. Again tried to install using wireless connection then USB connecton. Printer could not be added because Macbook returns that the software is not available from Apple
-Uninstalled drivers downloaded direct from Canon Website and plugged printer into Macbook using USB, Macbook recognised the printer and searched for the software, again Macbook returns that hte software is not available from Apple.
Help!

nrg adjusta,
Sorry it took me a while to repsond, Ive been pretty busy with school and work. But for my hard drive problem, I did hours and hours of more research and trying countless ways of installing and tweaking things in my laptop and absolutely nothing worked that I could do. It was very irritating because I felt like I was so close to fixing it and I was just missing a step somewhere. Though It still boggles me why the disk utility shows a different capacity for the HD's. One thing I'm going to try next is replacing the hard drive cable that goes from the internal HD to the macbook. I read somewhere that sometimes those can go bad over time, and also if you get a new, modern hard drive, sometimes the old cable (for some odd reason) might not be compatible with the new HD. So i want to test it out for myself to see it that is the actual culprit.
http://www.ifixit.com/MacBook-Parts/MacBook-Hard-Drive-Cable/IF186-018
Once I get the cable and install it I'll let you know the results and if it helped at all.
Have you made any progress on your hard drive at all? If worst comes worst for you, you can probably get a SATA to USB cable and try to reformat it that way (this is the way that worked for me, but the only problem was it wouldn't be recognized when I installed it internally. Thats why i want to try getting the new cable), and if it still wont recognize it after that, you can just leave it outside of your mac, and just boot from that. The only thing that ***** about that is you have this big hard drive handing off the side of your mac when ever you need to use it.
Heres a link for a SATA to USB. this one is good because is compact and protects the HD from damage and most static electricity.

Im still continuing my search for the answer and once i find it (if ever!) I'll post it.

Problems adding USB printer - "Driver not installed" - but it is

Apparently, 10.3.9 has some problems with USB printers. For the record, I had already installed this earlier prior to the upgrade and everything worked fine - but due to crashing due to a faulty power supply - I've had to re-configure everything.
I, and many others in this forum, have found a strange problem when trying to add a printer (And yes, other people have asked about this but I haven't seen any answers at all that are useful. The only possible solution seems to be "upgrade to 10.4" and that is unacceptable. Does Apple check these forums?).
After clicking "add printer" in the utility, the software finds the correct printer (so obviously the physical connection to the printer is OK) and displays it with a question mark over it's icon and "driver not installed" next to it. I can't select this image or text.
After searching for a couple of minutes, a dialogue box pops up saying "New drivers detected. Do you want to reload the browser?" (I assume the printer setup utility is the "browser"?).
I click yes and nothing happens. No PPDs show up in the list. This happens when I select USB as well as Apple Talk from the printer-type pull-down menu.
How can I start printing again?
iMac G5 17" Mac OS X (10.3.9)
iMac G5 17" Mac OS X (10.3.9)
iMac G5 17" Mac OS X (10.3.9)
iMac G5 17" Mac OS X (10.3.9)
iMac G5 17" Mac OS X (10.3.9)

First, welcome to the discussions.
For the record, Apple does not normally respond to these Forums.
You mention (Due to Crashing) Whenever you have an issue with your machine it can disrupt in almost any area, and is normally caused by SOMETHING.
As of right now it would appear you might be chasing your tail.
When you choose to upgrade your Operating System there is No Guarantee that your Printer and it's drivers will work on another completely different Operating System.
Your best bet at this point is to drag all of your printer related folders to the trash, empty your trash, and plug your USB Printer (What KIND) into your machine directly.
Shut your machine clear OFF for a minute or so and do the same to your printer, pull the power adapter from it.
Now plug in your printers Power Adapter, Plug in the USB to your Printer to your computer and restart it.
Take the Disc that came with your printer and re insert it and download the Installation Folder and any utility folder that may come with it.
After you have done this don't try to print, Go directly to your Printer Manufactures Web site and search for the latest updates to your printer and the Operating System you are using.
These will more often than not download to your desktop.
You must drag these to the setup folder and or the utilities folder and then double click them to launch them. after you have completed this your printer should work.
One other thing, If you have Classic and or OS9 on your machine you might have to do the same for OS9 Applications , and Utilities for it to print in Classic. Don

Problem installing 10.8.5 from usb - looping...

My HD failed. I installed new hardware. Went from Hitachi (2T) to WD (4T) - temp sensor not compatible so fan loud, but that's ok...
Tried to restore from time machine backup, but wouldn't work - something about recovery partition. Had already partitioned the new HD correctly (journaled, GUID). Read that I might try installing OSX to the new HD from USB first, but that all I had to do was go through the 1st reboot. Tried the stop the install at that point, but it wouldn't stop. Finally was able to point at USB disk, but keeps trying to install and now saying installer had a problem... Can't get the computer to start up from the USB drive even when I hold the option key down - just comes back saying there was a problem with the installation. When I look at disk utility I see a disk2, Mac OS Base System... Can't remove it even when repartitioning the new HD again. At a loss here on what the do now.
My ideas:
1. Create a new bootable USB?
2. Boot to Safe mode or somehow reset the HW somehow? PVRAM?
Help!

Thanks for the response. I'm not sure about the necessity of the first suggestion - I created a bootable USB drive from the 10.8 installer which I downloaded - it was in the Applications folder. I used a file in SharedSupport - InstallESD.dmg... Essentially I followed the DIY part of this link:
     http://www.cultofmac.com/180925/how-to-make-a-bootable-disk-or-usb-drive-of-os-x -mountain-lion/
Safe mode - I thought I might be able to boot into safe mode from the USB - guess not.
I don't get much of an error now. All it says is:
     There was a problem installing "Mac OS X".
     Try reinstalling.
Then there is a button for OK. When you click OK - nothing happens.
Next to the apple (upper left) I see "OS X Installer". Then there is a File, Edit, Utilities and Window menus.
Utilities contains firmware password utility..., disk utility..., terminal..., netowkr utility..., and restore system from backup...
When I run disk utility here I see:
     My new 4TB WDC and it's sub-entry - "Untitled 1".
          When I look at Untitied 1 I see /Volumes/Untitled 1 mount point, Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
          4TB, used 1.11GB, 3 folders, 2 files
     SuperDrive (my dvd drive)
     disk2
          This is an apple disk image with a capacity of 1.19GB with a Apple Partition Map scheme
          Under disk2 is "Mac OS X Base System"
               This has a mount point of /, is Max OS Extended, is 1.19GB in size, and has 10,753 folders
               and 35,620 files
     8.03GB SanDisk
          Mac OS X Install ESD - this is obviously my bootable drive for installing Mac OS
I've tried to re-partition the 4TB hard drive but it doesn't seem to remove the disk2 recovery partition. I have only re-partitioned the drive to a Mac OS Extended (Journaled), single partition... Interestingly the 8.03GB SanDisk moved above the line next to the 4TB. The disk2 drive is unchanged.
Perhaps I should reformat to a different method? or change from GUID? Seems like there is a separate "recovery partition" that I'm not able to clear or re-start the installation even though the drive is empty - or so I thought.
Interestingly, when I try to run Terminal... it doesn't respond. I get "-bash-3.2# " as a cursor, but it is unresponsive.
When I try to select - "Restore system from backup" there is no response - it's as if it's completely ignored.
I also just tried holding the "C" key during restart - same thing - it jumps to a window which says it's installing OSX for a few seconds, then the same error I outlined above.

Problem mounting usb stick with ISO installed on it [SOLVED]

I'm experiencing a weird problem regarding mounting usb sticks. Archlinux stopped auto-mounting usb sticks on my machine, but only those that contains an operating system. Empty or data usb sticks mount without problem.
A few weeks or month ago, I don't remember exactly, still everything was all right, but due to updates(?) usb sticks won't auto mount any more.
I have two arch partitions none of them mount usb sticks anymore with operating systems on them.
Today, I wanted to test a new operating system and write it on my usb stick, and of course I couldn't because arch didn't mount it. Luckily, on my other partitions a few old distos are still installed – I don't use them anymore for years- I booted them up and they mounted the usb stick without problem; it seems only the up-to-date system have problem handling the usb sticks. I have two Arch system installed on two different partitions, Gnome 3 and Enlightenment, both system are up to date.

What is sdc1p? Is that another USB stick? It seems to have an equally weird partition map.
By the way, you can't create an Arch USB bootable in EFI mode with dd. Obviously don't know about sabayon.
EDIT: Did you dd to the disk or to a partition? What command exactly did you use? Because it almost looks as if you did something like dd once and create one thing and then dd over the top of one of the partition so you've got a partition which itself has a partition map. Not sure that's possible but it sure looks weird.
I would wipe the key and start over.
I don't know what is that. It is a partition on the same usb stick, it was the “dd” that made that partition automatically, I guess. When I burn images into usb, I always use this command:
# dd bs=4M if=/path/to/archlinux.iso of=/dev/sdx && sync
I used this when burned Sabayon and it works perfectly.
The problem is that Arch can't auto-mount its own installation usb either. I put the arch install usb in and I get the following output:

Quake 4 Will not start with USB Audigy 2 NX Connec

Anyone playing Quake 4 successfully with the USB Audigy 2 NX installed? Will there be a driver update so this game will play? Activision was no help. When I disconnect mine I can play the game fine... other than no sound.
How about a driver update Creative?

I got the same problem. The issue is that Quake4 launches with OpenAL enabled by default and causes the game to quit to the desktop. Try disabling the card and launch Q4 and you will see it works with no sound. ALot of people are using default sound card drivers or onboard sound to fix the issue until a patch. I found if you install OpenAL or Creative beta OpenAL drivers work but cause issues in game with stutter or cracking. Im still on the hunt for a issue since now I cant load my Creative control panel since I loaded the beta OpenAL drivers. Hope this helps

K7N2 deltas mainboards have a problem with usb devices ??

Ok here is my problem..
I had installed WinXP Pro with SP1..
I got a 20 GB USB2.0 disk.i connected it on the both front or rear usb ports.
When i tried to transfer files to my usb disk or to my PC, in the middle of the copying, i got "Write Delay Failed" error and lost my usb connection..
I had to plug it out and in again..
Now, i have an DSL modem..Last night, i was disconnected from internet and my modem's lights gone..I plug it again, no lights..restarted my PC, also completely shutdown Windows XP..Again no lights..
Then, formatted PC and installed windows 2000 Pr and SP4, until now, my modem worked fine..But USB 2.0 ports are still no use for my usb disk...
In bios , it's enabled as USB 1.1+2.0..
I think this K7N2 deltas have a problem with usb 2.0 devices and Win XP Pro..
Some guys talking about, removing 9th wire earth, but couldn't understand which wire from where ? From mainboard or from usd device's cable ?
Those cables are fabricated, i think it's impossible ?
My processor is Athlon 2500+, ram Twinmos 512 DDR 400
Thanks for reply

I'm also having this problem. It's happening with my USB flash disk. I was almost buying another one when I tried it with Windows Vista on the same machine and it worked ok, then I tried Arch Linux (with kernel 2.6.30.5) on another machine and got the same error. After that I tried Ubuntu and it worked ok. Seems that Arch's kernel doesn't like my USB flash disk.

Driver issue-problem installing hardware

I installed the latest update to iTunes yesterday. Now, when I connect my IPod to my PC, I get the following error message:
"There was a problem installing this hardware-apple IPOD USB driver-An Error Occurred During the Installation of this device. The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request."
I have searched for an updated driver, but I keep getting the same error message as above. The iPod shows up in device manager, but with a yellow exclamation point next to it. It says "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)." I've also reinstalled the driver.cab file from my Windows installation disk, but none of this has resolved this issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think I've resolved this issue. I used SYSTEM RESTORE to find a restore point from before I upgraded iTunes. When I went to start iTunes after restoration it didn't want to start, so I had to go to the Apple web site to download and reinstall iTunes. It seems to be working now though some of my music didn't initially sync from the library to my iPod because my computer wasn't "authorized" according to the error message. All I did then was attempt to play oe of the songs that wouldn't sync and I got prompted for my iTunes password, plugged that in and everything seems to have synced just fine.

Disk Utility 13 problem with USB drives

There appears to be a problem with Disk Utility 13 (part of OS X 10.9). At least, so far as I can tell, everything traces back to this app, or possibly OS X 10.9 itself.
I recently upgraded my MacBook Air to OS X 10.9 (reformatted hard drive, installed system from scratch, updated with all the latest Apple updates). I pre-checked all my third party software to make sure it was 10.9 compatible before installing it after the system cleanup, so everything I’m running supposedly has been approved as safe for 10.9. But I’m seeing a problem formatting USB drives that I do not encounter when running under 10.8.
I have a Seagate STAA500101 (“FreeAgent GoFlex”) drive connected via Seagate’s USB3 adapter that I’ve used for some time as a Time Machine backup. Post-overhaul, I decided to erase the backup and start fresh. When I attempt to format it (single GUID partition) with Disk Utility, I see the following messages go by:
Formatting disk1s2 as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) with name Untitled 1
Could not mount disk1s2 with name (null) after erase
Then there’s a pause, and the format appears to conclude fine. But if I run a “Verify Disk” immediately, I get this:
Verifying partition map for “Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Media”
Checking prerequisites
Checking the partition list
Checking for an EFI system partition
Checking the EFI system partition’s size
Checking the EFI system partition’s file system
Checking all HFS data partition loader spaces
Volume on disk1s2 has 0 bytes of trailing loader space and it needs 134217728 bytes
Problems were found with the partition map which might prevent booting
Error: Partition map needs repair because a data partition needs loader space.
As the drive has just been formatted, that seemed odd. I took it over to another Mac still running 10.8.5 and formatted it there — it worked just fine. Verified just fine. Took the drive back to my MacBook Air and tried to verify the disk — same failure.
I wanted to rule out bad media, so I took a Lexar 16GB USB flash drive and tried to format it with Disk Utility 13 — got the same problem.
The only success I’ve had formatting USB drives under 10.9 is to boot up into OS X Recovery. Disk Utility there formatted my Seagate drive without an error. But once I booted back into normal 10.9 operating mode, the drive once again fails to verify; it makes me leery about using it as a Time Machine backup.
I suppose it’s possible there could be some background component like Sophos causing problems when formatting drives, but if I format a drive via OS X Recovery or another Mac under 10.8, that wouldn’t explain why the drives fail to verify.
Anyone got any other observations on this issue?

Problem resolved. I'm posting this note for anyone else who might run into this situation and come across this discussion.
It actually did turn out to be Sophos -- Cloud, that is. I'd been using Sophos' free Mac antivirus software on a variety of systems but forgot that I was now testing out Sophos Cloud on my own MacBook, which is their new endpoint solution, and supposed to be compatible with OS X 10.9 (although the Mac version is listed as "beta") Sophos Cloud includes a new feature called Device Control which allows you to create a company-wide policy to control access to hardware such as USB drives, optical drives, etc. But apparently it's still pretty buggy. I had my Device Control configured with the default setting of "monitor but do not block" but it was most definitely gumming up the system. With Sophos Cloud installed, here's what happens if I try to run "Verify Disk" on any attached drive. Note on the left side how "disk2s2" shows as a sub-volume for each hard drive.
So if I uninstall Sophos Cloud, reboot and rescan, here's what I get:
Works fine. Note that the "disk2s2" subvolumes are also gone. This is the way Disk Utility also appears on a 10.8 or 10.9 system, even if you have the standard free Sophos for Mac software installed. It's only Sophos Cloud that's not playing nice. It also appears to have stopped me from being able to play DVDs from an attached Apple USB SuperDrive -- that problem was likewise solved by removing Sophos Cloud.

Problem installing officejet pro 6830 software on my iMac running Snow Leopard

Greetings, I have a problem installing officejet pro 6830 software on my iMac running Snow Leopard. When I insert the HP software disc onto my iMac, and go to the HP website, it says:
"403" Ooops! Request forbidden...
Any possible solutions to this? Thanks for any feedback...

Hi @RNOjetnow ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue with needing the drivers for the 10.6 Snow Leopard OS. You should be able to install the Apple Drivers just by connecting the USB cable.
Here is a document that might help.
Hope this helps you install the drivers.
Thanks.

Problems mounting USB drives

I am having some problems getting USB flash drives to (auto) mount on my system.
In the past, when I plugged in the device (a simple USB flash drive), it showed up in Thunar and I could click on it to mount it. Now nothing shows up in thunar when I plug in the device. dmesg shows the following, so I know the device is being recognized:
usb 2-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 14
but it isn't being assigned to /dev/sd*. fdisk -l also doesn't show the device. lsusb shows the following for the device:
Bus 002 Device 014: ID 0781:b6b7 SanDisk Corp.
I added a udev rule to automount in /media, as per the udev wiki instructions, but that didn't do anything. Installing udisks and udiskie was similarly unhelpful. I tried this with multiple USB drives (which I both confirmed were working on other machines) so it doesn't seem to be a HW problem.
Thanks in advance.

You might try reformatting the usb drive using Disk Utility. Use MacOS Extended(Journaled). That might help.
