Problems with Creative Sound Blaster Live 24-

In device manager, the SB Li've shows up as
multimedia device instead of SB Li've, the SB Li've disc starts the
install and then says I need to insert the SB disc (the disc has no
scratches), and when I ran dxdiag.exe, I got the following results.
Thanks for your support. DirectSound test results: Failure at step 3
(DirectSoundCreate): HRESULT = 0x8878000a (The request failed because
DirectSound resources, such as the priority level, were already in use
by another caller.)
I tried uninstalling the card from Windows, removing the card from my system, rebooting, powering off, and reinserting it in a new slot, but that didn't work.

I've had problems in the past with soundcards, ect. Try going to control panel/ system / Hardware tab / Device Manager / Sound, video and game controllers and see if you can remove the hardware (your soundcard) by right clicking and removing it. Reboot the computer and the computer should be trying to detect a new piece hardware while you still have your soundcard in the computer. When the Wizard comes up, install the disk and let the Wizard from Windows do the installation.
You want the cd installation do the install. Then after you have the software installed, you can go into the properties of your hardware and see that the drivers/devices are working properly.

  • Multiple problems with Creative Sound Blaster Live X-Gamer CT4

    First I'd like to point out that I'm lacking the installation CDs, the manual, etc.
    My problem is the following: I've downloaded what I think are the appropriate drivers for this sound card from the Creative Labs site. Correct me if I'm wrong or if I actually have to re-download a driver installation package from some other place in particular
    Ok, concretely, my problem is that the drivers either are not matching, or there's something wrong with my card (it slows down my system on the startup)
    Here are some pics of my current situation:

    Please forgive me I'm having some type of problem with uploading images and showing them here directly.
    BTW, there's some type of "cord" in the sound card that isn't plugged into anything in my computer. Do I need to connect it somewhere?

    Try this. I also have the ISO image for the CD and I can send it to you but it's 540MB and require you to provide me a place to upload to.

  • My Past, Present & Future with Creative Sound Blaster cards

    I wrote a small product review of a Z-series card i regrettably purchased and creative responded. I replied to them and copied+pasted it here. First and foremost please understand this is just an open letter talking about my love for and mostly positive experiences with the Sound Blaster line of cards since the mid-late 1990s.
    Attached is an annotated picture of almost all the Creative hardware I've bought over the years.
    Take a good long look at that picture. Think about how many songs have been played through those devices, think of how many movies have been heard through those devices, think of how many games made me jump out of my seat from sound effects heard through those devices, and lastly think how many thousands of hours this amounts to.
    STOP READING and LOOK at that attached PICTURE.
    I use the word 'almost' because it does not include the card I recently purchased off e-bay, which was listed as (and was) mint condition new, and cost me $250.... a Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Champion Series card.
    If the direction Creative is going to continue to go is the direction that it's been going over the past handful of years this will be the last Creative product myself or anyone i influence or make purchasing decisions for will ever buy. Being in my mid 30s I'd say you'll miss out on at least another 20-30+ years of future product purchases.
    Below is my address of your reply to my review of your product in a piece by piece layout:
    "Based on user feedback we've done the following:
    - Take up less disk space"
    I run two 128GB SSDs in a hardware based (LSI Logic 8704ELP) raid-0 array so the disk footprint of drivers and software is important to me but whatever space you reduced your driver to is trivial.
    %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Creative\(ALchemy, AudioCS AutoMode Switcher, Console Launcher, Shared Files, ShareDLL,THX Console, Volume Panel)
    in total take up about 100MB of space. reducing this means NOTHING because it does not allow for more hefty software (Games or Design/Drafting/3D-Modelling Software) to be installed. Now if say your driver and software had a 1GB footprint and you reduced it to 500MB that would be significant because 500MB is enough space to account for one or 2 of average installation footprints of the products in the Adobe Creative Suite. Reducing the size from 100MB to 25MB/50MB/75MB is moot.
    "- Optimized controls for touch screens"
    This point is amusing, why? because you are making the same mistake Microsoft made with Windows 8 & Metro. Most people who buy a creative sound card are putting it in a PC and do not have a touchscreen. I don't manage a lot of computers but the ~200 i am responsible for bypassed Windows 8 (maybe even Windows 9, we'll see) and either moved from Windows XP to Windows 7 or they will be staying with Windows 7 for the foreseeable future. The touch centric design of Windows 8 is a significant part of this decision despite all the things Microsoft did that i think are steps forward (like better native support for multiple display devices to name one example).
    "- Streamlined the interface so it's easier to navigate (removed "modes" and have all controls available regardless what you want to use the card for)."
    Dumbing-down a product to reach a greater audience is walking the fine line of Quality vs. Quantity. Why you've sacrificed significant Quality to increase Quantity i do not know. While I will agree making 1 interface instead of 3 can be a potential step forward you did more than streamlining the user interface- you removed prominent, useful, and important features.
    "- Better tie in with the Windows audio sub-system."
    Through out the decade the only problems I experienced with Windows and my Creative products i can count on one hand. The first would be when Microsoft abandoned DirectSound and moved to an UAA based audio stack in Vista forward and your company dropped the ball and Daniel_K picked it up and made working drivers for your products and you went after him... I was one of the people who used his working drivers to make your sound card work properly when you failed to do so. Second was the fact that you people charged for ALchemy when the move to Vista occurred... this was truly a sh*ty thing to do. The third was the X-RAM causing a BSOD (STOP 0x50 - PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA) in windows on a regular random basis because of your device drivers and the best working solution was to disable using the X-RAM on the card- a selling point of the cards to begin with (albeit in years prior).
    Allow me to elaborate some more while I have time since it's sunday night and the family is busy with other things and will be off to bed thereafter.
    Creative's device drivers and software has always been a point of contention. You don't make the install discs available for download on your website for starters. This is a fascist move on your part. Your driver installation procedure and reliability is hit or miss. I personally have not had a lot of trouble with the drivers (only a few hiccups here and there) but i have read on the forums where all sorts of other people have (I'm not in disagreeing that their problems are partially their fault, but that's the price of running Windows instead of buying a Mac). My experience with your driver software suites over the years have been mostly (A) "When it works as expected it's sheer aural bliss beyond that of any other sound card in existence! THIS is why 'Sound Blaster Compatible' was what other companies put on their products, because Creative set the standard for everyone else to meet." but also sometimes (B) "everything installed and worked fine but now something is corrupt and not all the speakers have sound coming from them or the sound is all screwed up and the driver won't uninstall/reinstall/update correctly because it's corrupt and it's not deleting the driver files because windows has the files locked and safe mode isn't helping so now i have to physically remove the card from the PC and try to completely clean out my system of the Creative software. I can't believe they went after Daniel_K the way they did, i wish he'd come back and fix their drivers. Now which box did i put that install cd in...."
    There are 2 reasons I've bought Creative sound cards for over a decade now. CMSS 3D when listening to music while working throughout the day and EAX in videogames at night.
    I remember the moment when I experienced EAX for the very first time. I was in college and over at a friend's place. He had just got a new game called Thief: The Dark Project. I remember him telling me about something new called EAX and that only Creative cards had it and that it was supposed to be awesome. About an hour later after watching and HEARING him play Thief I was hooked. Creative had secured a place for it's hardware in my budget for every PC i built from that day forward.
    Being that I've worked from home for about a decade now I will listen to music while I work and get in an hour or so of gaming at night as time allows. Straight off the bat the first time i ticked that box for CMSS 3D long long ago and heard music coming from every speaker in my home office i was amazed and overwhelmed. Then when you introduced the ability to set the individual speaker distance and volume from the listening position it was the icing on the cake. I was surround by sound. It was SHEER AURAL BLISS. This feature called CMSS 3D would become the second reason I purchased and recommended Creative sound cards for the decade to come.
    As i stated in my review, the only reason i bought a new sound card was because the motherboard I was purchasing had no PCI slots (I remember when motherboards stopped having ISA slots as well...). Before making my purchase I read. I read a lot. I read about the changes you made with the X-Fi Titanium HD and then the Recon3D, and the more i read the more a feeling of apprehension began to take hold. Then i got to reading about the Z-series and read about some of the positive changes between it and the Recon3D line of cards and I became a bit more hopeful.
    Sadly my apprehension was spot on... Listening to music was a worse experience when compared to my X-Fi Platinum (or even my old Audigy 2)... and did not even come close to justifying the purchase of the card compared to just using the integrated sound capabilities of my motherboard, an ASRock Z87 OC Formula/ac. But none the less I still had EAX to fall back on right? wrong... I installed a couple games, some new and some old, some with EAX and some without, and for about 2 weeks i played a bit of each one to see how the card handled new and old games. Sadly EAX compatibility didn't even matter because it was overshadowed by poor directional audio reproduction... that same front center speaker that was overbearing when listening to music was noticeable when gaming to the point that it was negatively affecting my gaming experience. I tweaked and toggled every setting i could and even uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers and software to try to mitigate this but to my dismay i could not. It was at this point I went weighing my options... and looking for an X-Fi Titanium (NON-HD!) and suffered the capitalist price gouging that occurs in such supply & demand situations... at least i talked the guy down from his original asking price of $300. I bit the bullet on this because chances are this is going to be the last Creative card i ever own...
    I've had my Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Champion Series installed for just over a week now. Everything sounds precise and as it should when you have a quality piece of hardware paired with quality software. Directional audio in games comes from all speakers appropriately and not excessively from the front center speaker unless it's supposed to. Ambient music floats through the air all through out the day creating that familiar feeling of sheer aural bliss as it did before. The only downside is I'm getting to experience the problems other people have with this card (strange loud static-like warble EMI type noise coming from speakers, unaffected by windows volume control) but I have found a work around that I'm using on the rare occasion this happens (disable the device in device manager, re-enable device in device manager).
    Chances are what i've written above is perhaps an opening soliloquy of the requiem for the Creative Sound Blaster, the card that defined an industry and the company that turned it's back on it. I don't expect anything to come from this letter and I don't expect a meaningful reply from you. You'll probably write me justifying your decisions you've made with your product line and offer some false sincerity about how you are happy i am enjoying my price-gouged discontinued soundcard i had to buy off e-bay because your current line of products are not a step back in your eyes because of the profits they turn. This generation of customers who buy your Platinum HD, or Reco3D or Z-series line of cards probably oblivious to what they are missing out on (through no fault of their own), funny how the bliss of ignorance works and lines your pockets...
    It saddens me that i had to buy a discontinued product off e-bay because it's a better product than what your company currently offers. I wish this wasn't the way things turned out. When you dropped the fun presets and finite control of the EAX effects during the transition from the Audigy to the X-Fi line of cards I noticed but since they were not the main reason I owned a Creative card I tolerated it. But now you've gone and ruined the features that were the reasons i bought Creative cards, and this I will not oblige.
    My Creative Hardware.jpg

    @To the OP:
    I own a X-Fi Elite Pro for the past 8 years now.
    Since there, this card has faithfullly seen me through 3 major PC upgrades.
    I'm currently at a point where, very sadly, much of what you've described is also weighing on my decision to not go for a Z line.
    @Creative:
    I do hope you're listening and can come up with a solution to a simply design feature - namely a fully working Stereo Surround, like the one that was available in the X-Fi line of cards via CMSS-3D.

  • Can someone please help me with a Sound Blaster Live Probl

    I have an older sound blaster Li've card. It stopped working so I tried to install new drivers for it. That diddnt work. I tried to let creative labs web sight try to do it automaticly, but it says no creative labs sound device found. So I took a working card, "The same Kind" and put that one in. When I restarted windows, it told me it found new hardware, but it said it diddnt want to install the new drivers that I downloaded because windows diddnt test them yet. I installed them anyway. This card does the same thing the one I took out did. When I play music in winamp I get an error No Sound Device Found. In media player I get windows cannot play this file there may be a problem with a sound of video device. I checked out my video card it seems to be working. I think I may have changed some settings somewhere but I cant seem to find anything myself. I would just upgrade but I'm afraid There might be something else wrong. Anyone can help I would aprecieate it Thanks in advance

    I would really suggest formatting your harddisk and install the os afresh. If the sound card suddenly stop working, most likely it bode signs of the os having some problem already.

    The front panel connections you want to use are adapted to be connected to a motherboard with audio included, NOT to a PCI audio card. You'll have to connect the front panel wires to your motherboard's audio connnector.

  • Latest Update Causes Problem with Creative Sound Card?

    I installed the latest Quicktime update (7.3.1) and Windows Media Player would no longer work, giving me a message that my sound card (Creative Sound Blaster Audigy) was broken. I ran the sound card diagnostics and indeed it failed several of the the test (particularly wav files). I also tried streaming music via my XM radio subscription and that also did not work.
    I reverted my system to its previous state (before the Quicktime update) with Norton GoBack, and now everything works again.
    Anyone have a similar problem? Is this a bug or perhaps was there a glitch in the installation that caused this?
    Thanks,

    I'm not having that problem, but I am having a problem of my computer being locked up once it goes into sleep mode.

  • Sound very distorted at bootup with Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio

    I have a new HP Pavilion Elite e9180t PC with a Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio sound card, an OEM card offered by HP.  On two occasions, only two, so far, when the system is done booting the sound is distorted and it buzzes and hisses periodically.  Upon reboot it is fine.
    I have no idea what is going on and am concerned that this is a system of a pending failure.  Is there something I can check?
    Thanks.

    I have this exact same system with the exact same problems.  I called HP and got a woman who insisted it was all in my head.  She didn't say that, but she continuted to tell me that unless she personally heard the problem herself, she could not help me.  I told her it didn't happen all the time but usually at bootup and about every 6 hours or so as I was playing games throughout the day.  I am a computer professional also, which should be noted, and I have worked tier 3 support for many years so I know how much knowledge a tier 1 support person has, which is what she was.  I couldn't understand much of what she said due to the accent, which made it even more frustrating.  Additionally, she remotely got on my system and clicked a bunch of things that made absolutely no sense whatsoever to the resolution of the problem.  It seemed to me that she was trying to portray herself as "fixing" the problem so that I would agree it was now fixed and move one without her having to send me a new sound card, as I suggested.  She asked me the same questions over and over "so what exactly are you hearing?" and "How often does this occur?".  After the 4th time my frustration really began to show.  Especially after "I'm afraid I have to conclude that there is not a problem with your soundcard if I cannot hear it." and "the diagnostics say the sound card is fine so it must be your speakers" even though I have swapped out the speakers several times and it also occurs on the headphones.  Additionally, I bought TWO identical systems, one for me and one for my husband and his does not have the same problem.  She tried to tell me that our parts were not identical, even though I opened both computers and I will tell you they certainly ARE identical.  She is now calling me in exactly 6 hours because I told her that the issue occurs every 6 hours or so -- clearly she does not understand that that was an estimate of how often it occurs, not an exact timeline.  I am really frustrated.  She also told me there were no other complaints for this issue and now I find this forum.  I also found a similar forum on the creative website.  hmmmm.  That tells me she was lying.  She refused to let me speak to anyone else, also.  Where are the award winning service and support technicians in all of this??  I mean, I work with HP from a business perspective all the time and I get better service.  I am extremely frustrated.

    Have you actually tired it yourself?  I'm wondering if this is a workaround, or will this be the official solution.  I wouldn't mind trying it, but I don't want to mess it up for when the Official driver is released.

  • Installation CD for Creative Sound Blaster Live 24-bit External SB0490

    Hi,
    I've bought this old external soundcard without the original installation CD, because I thought I can download all needed software here on the creative site. But no, only the drivers and some simple program updates are available :-(. With the creative drivers installed, I only get hacked sound on the digital coax output, SPDIF is also not working correctly. I suppose I have to do some configuration in the creative suite software, but this suite can only be installed from the original installation CD...
    Is here somebody who can tell me where I can download an ISO of this CD or perhaps make an upload of it?
    Kind Regards
    Steven

    HRe: Sound Blaster Li've! 24-bit External (SB0490) choppy background sound? I've been having the same problem with mine. ?At first, all it would take is unplug the laptop end of the USB, wait a second, then plug it back in. ?A sound (incoming mail, reminder, general Windows sound) had to initiate the sound. ?It's almost like a CD skipping, but the sound played has no bearing on the popping sound. ?It's always the same pitch, timing, etc. no matter the sound that caused it.
    I've blue screened a couple of times too over the past couple of weeks. ?I've only been able to catch 'USB' during the blue screen before it reboots, so I don't have a code number to chase down.
    I'm using Windows Vista Premium Edition on a Gateway laptop that's about two years old. ?I'm being lazy, and not looking, but I'm pretty sure it's got a .6GHz DualCore proc, I upped the RAM to 2GB, I had to replace the HDD and I honestly don't recall the brand.
    It's gotten to the point now that even unplugging and then replugging doesn't really affect it anymore. ?I know that I've updated the driver a couple of times. ?The first time Vista whined about it. ?Going to see if there's a more current version, but I don't really have any further help or suggestions.
    Hopefully something will come up.

  • MSI motherboard with onboard Sound Blaster Live! Va

    Hi, I have the above chip on my motherboard. I have been using the February drivers and have only been getting 2. sound and no mic. I have checked many threads and that was the case. I have now installed:
    SB24_VTDRV_LB__04_0077.exe, my mic is now successfully working and I have a creative audio console with options for CMSS but it does not work.
    Can anyone tell me if there is a reason why it would be any different to other Sound Blaster Li've! products

    utter disappointment, not a single reply. The first set of Windows Vista Drivers came out almost two years ago. If Creative as a company are not willing to put a proper programming team together for creating workable drivers then they are not a customer orientated company.
    As such I will now buy any 7. sound card and Logitech speakers simply because creative does not care enough about its customers

  • Creative sound blaster live va

    <SPAN class=postbody>so i have a card installed on my pc. 4 speakers sub but when i play audio cds sound only came out of 2 speakers. i tried installing a newer version of the sound blaster softwares but was told to unistall the old ones. when i went through the process again i got an error message saying no audio devices could be found. now i have no sound at all. i tried to unistall / install the card, windows update, directx. i can install the old software again but when i try to get in the properties i get messages that direct sound cannot be launched. nothing seems to work.

    First things first. Most CD's will only play left and right chanel depending on the program you are using to play audio CD's. If you can get your sound cards play control to open and show you the volume controls.
    Usualy double clicking on the speaker down by the clock in the lower right corner.
    If you see front and rear settings is the rear volume control at minimum or maximum?
    Change it as needed if its there.
    In the program you use to play the CD's look in its properties setting and see if there are any front and rear settings. Also do your speakers have a front and rear volume on them?
    Be warned if you change some of these setting your games might be loud from the rear.
    Hope this hel
