Problems with Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 and a freshly reformatted windows 98se

Hello.
Lets get right down to business shall we? I've recently reformatted my computer and reinstalled the somewhat outdated OS windows 98 second edition. I've only recently managed to get my network card and modem working with my refreshed machine again but now I'm having problems getting my sound card (Sound Blaster Li've! 5. Digital) working again too. Its as if the computer CAN'T recognize the fact that there is a sound card inserted into the port. What do I do?

Try the card in another PCI slot to see if it will pick it up then.
Which model is this exactly (like Li've 5. Player, Li've 5. Digital, or another)? Do you know which model number is printed on the card?
It's possible the card doesn't have Windows98 support, newer cards do not support that Operating System so it may not have drivers on the CD for that OS.

  • Problems with Sound Blaster Live! 1024 and Windows 2000 Profession

    Hello everybody, and thank you since now for your help and support.
    Please, forgive my english (I'm italian) not so good, but I hope you can understand me the same.
    I have a Sound Blaster Li've! 024, and so far everything works fine with <EM>Windows 98 SE</EM>, but lately I have installed <EM>Windows 2000 Professional </EM>on my PC, and now nothing works.
    Nothing, neither the softwares, they don't even start!
    Here is what I tried so far:
    - First, I tried to install the old version of the programs, the ones that I had in the CD-ROM when I bought the sound card. At this point, I couldn't even uninstall the softwares!
    - Then, I tried to update the drivers, but it seems that they're already updated when you install Win2000, and the uninstallation didn't works yet.
    - At last, I have downloaded the new software pack, Li'veDrvUni-Pack.exe, but nothing even so. But with this, at least, I was able to uninstall everything from the PC (even if not perfectly).
    - Today, I tried to install only the new pack, Li'veDrvUni-Pack.exe, but still nothing works. When I start running the program (e.g. AudioHQ), I can see the hourglass for few seconds and then everything aborts.
    Please, help me! What can I do? I really don't want to buy a new sound card, even because my SB Li've! 024 works perfectly until now.
    Thank you very much for the attention and for your suggestions.

    I dont understand what happend, on Windows 98 works well, isn?t a problem with my sound card.
    My computer is:

    I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!

    Trew,
    Did this card come preinstalled in your system? If so this may be an OEM model and you will need to contact the company you purchased your computer from for drivers for it. If this is not the case you may try moving the card to a different PCI slot and trying the install from there.

    I know the "!" next to Multimedia audio device isnt the problem because that was there before i reformated when the sound worked.
    Ive Downloaded both:
    Li'veDrvUni-Pack(ENG)
    and
    Li'veDrvPack_Patch
    (Not 00% sure either of these drivers are the right thing for me sense when i type my model number into the driver search box it can't find it for some reason.)
    I always get an error message that says "Setup cannot detect sound blaster audio device on your system.
    Ive tried using Ctcomp with no luck
    Does anyone have any idea on how to get my sound card to work?

  • Problems with sound blaster live 24 b

    Hello,
    I have some problems with my sound because i'm using a 5. configuration of speakers it works perfectly but if i put my PC on hibernate for example, when i turn it on the configuration changes an the program put the confguration on hearphones and so the sound is very bad. I don't know why it changes alone.
    I have a sound card Sound Blaster li've 24 Bits.
    Could somebody help me?
    Thanks.
    Message Edited by dolu on 07-28-2005 :36 AM

    dolu,
    Your post isn't very clear. When you come out of Hibernate, is the configuration wrong? Or doesn't 5. work then?
    Can you provide some more detail on what exactly happens, and also what kind of system (PC) you have.

  • How to produce 5.1 sound with logitech z5500 running on iMac 10.5.8 with sound blaster live 24 bit external.

    How to produce 5.1 sound with logitech z5500 running on iMac 10.5.8 with sound blaster live 24 bit external.

    First off your operating system version is obsolete and not being updated for security issues from Apple.
    OS X 10.4/10.5 need to upgrade, 10.6.8 ok still
    So at least you need to upgrade to 10.6.8, and that will make your machine secure again.
    However if you decide to upgrade further to 10.7 or 10.8, be forewarned your PPC based software of old is not going to work any longer. and your machine may require more RAM.
    Check here to see and download the free MacTracker to see your machines true RAM potential and specs. There are videos online at YouTube, it's really easy to install yourself.
    http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    I checked out the z-5500, apprantly the optical out shouldn't be a problem, however the surround sound decoding is a problem as the Mac doesn't do it, just passes it through for decoding on a receiver via the optical out port if your Mac has one.
    Use the free MacTracker to find out or when you upgrade OS X, there is a option in the System Preferences > Sound.
    https://logitech-en-ap.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/9693/section/trouble shoot/crid/409/lt_product_id/224/tabs/1,3,2,4,5/cl/sg,en
    The Sound Blaster Live 24 bit doesn't do Dolby 5.1 according to Wikipedia. More info on it is here.
    http://support.creative.com/Products/ProductDetails.aspx?catID=1&prodID=10702&pr odName=Live!%2024-bit%20External&CatName=Sound+Blaster
    If it's able to accept optical toslink cable from the Mac's toslink stereo mini port (if it has optical output) and then send that to the z-5500 via the analog speakers, then you should be fine.
    I'm afraid you'll have to do some more digging to get it to work.
    The only surround sound your going to get is by playing DVD movies that have it, then it can't have Dolby 5.1 as the Live 24 bit can't decode it.
    So do your research on what surround sound formats the Live 24 can decode, then compare your DVD collection for those movies that have it, then get it all connected and enable it on the movie preferences at the menu.
    Good Luck

  • Issue with Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit driver

    ,Issue with Sound Blaster Li've! 24-bit driverw Hello, I have a 2004 Dell Dimension DIM900 and a couple months ago it began making a loud crackling noise sporadically. It sounds like real ear-piercing static, like when a microphone is being plugged in, only in short random bursts at alternating pitches so I originally thought my speakers were blown. I turned them off and decided to use a headphone set only to hear the same annoying sound.
    I looked in the sound settings and read that I have a Sound Blaster 24-bit internal driver in my system, assuming that information is correct.
    What can I do? I did the search and read the read on those X-Fi drivers that had a similar problem, but I didn't know if that was the same as this because the thread concluded that their problem was exclusi've to systems with Nvidia dual SLI graphic configurations and X-Fi drivers. ? Any input would be appreciated, thanks!

    Hi IT5,
    May I know if this Li've! 24bit came pre-installed on your Dell computer or did you purchase & install the sound card separately?

  • Problems With Sound Blaster Audigy: New Sys

    I just received my new computer from Dell:
    Pentium D 3.0ghz
    Geforce 7800 GTX 256mb
    2 GIGs ram
    Windows Xp Prof x64
    SoundBlaster Audigy
    My problem occurs in my game called Nascar Racing 2003 Season. The sounds play fine, however when It comes time to load more 3dimensional sounds (like cockpit), the sounds turn into a high pitched buzz, and then freezes my computer so that not even ctl-alt-del works. Sometimes this happens when exiting the game as well, and my system does a complete memory dump and then shows this file: ctoss2k.sys..
    I've reinstalled the drivers, the game, and I'm out of ideas. I don't have any other games to test this one, but I've run the Dell diagnostics and run the dxdiag for the sound and it passed with flying colors. If nothing can be done here my next idea is getting on the phone with Dell and having them fix my new computer!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    P.S. On my last computer I had Sound Blaster Li've! and that worked perfectlyMessage Edited by mciarlo on -0-2005 04:05 AM

    Correct me if Im wrong but I dont think there are drivers for 64bit yet Right?

  • Can't record with Sound Blaster Live Va

    I have a Sound Blaster Li've Value (on-board) card and can't record streaming audio with it. It plays streaming audio fine, and seems to record it, but the resulting wav or mp3 files are "empty", playing them results in silence. I noticed that there was an old thread about this, but I couldn't find a reply. I tried to find out if this sound chip was indeed full duplex, but couldn't find that information. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers,

    I have the same message error.
    "The SBPCI Interrupt has been routed incorrectly by the system. AudioPCI Inacti've. Use Automatic setting in the Device Manager."
    I have a Compaq computer and win 98. Ever since we moved, the speakers stopped working.
    I tried going thru system properties and Device manager...it shows that the device is working properly. And the Automatic setting box was already checked. I bought new speakers thinking the speakers were bad but I still get no sound. I followed all the steps for Sound Troubleshooting. I did notice when I went to control panel, multimedia, devices, audio...one of the sound cards said: driver is enabled but inacti've due to an unknown problem. But it didn't tell me how to fix the problem?
    I don't know how to get the sound.
    Can someone help me? I really don't know anything about the computers.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks everyone

    Here's a link on how to use Add/Remove software in Control Panel. After removing the software, remove the soundcard from the computer and reboot. If that boot has no problems, then put the soundcard back in the same slot or a different slot and reinstall.

  • Problems with Sound Blaster PCI 128 at Wi

    Hello,
    I've a Sound Blaster PCI 28 Sound Card from Creative. I never had any problems with it when I was using it at WinME. But now I had to install WinXP Prof (incl. SP + SP2) for using some new programs and the soundcard doesn't work at all there.
    The card is shown at the device manager at "Other/Unkown devices" as "Audio Controller for Multimedia". I downloaded some drivers from the archi've of the creative homepage witch were said to be for this card used at WinXp. Here are the links for this drivers:
    For example:
    http://de.europe.creative.com/support/downloads/download2.asp?MainCategory=&Product=864&dlcentric= 843&Product_Name=PCI+28&OSName=Windows+XP
    http://de.europe.creative.com/support/downloads/download2.asp?MainCategory=&Product=864&dlcentric= 255&Product_Name=PCI+28&OSName=Windows+XP
    http://de.europe.creative.com/support/downloads/download2.asp?MainCategory=&Product=864&dlcentric= 976&Product_Name=PCI+28&OSName=Windows+XP
    But none of this drivers can be installed. When I start the installation after some time of loading there appears an alert with says:
    "Setup wasn't able to find a Sound Blaster Audiocard on your system. Please make sure that your Soundblaster hardware is installed correctly before starting the setup. Setup will finish/exit now."
    Does anyone know how to get this card running on WinXp?
    Does anyone know some alterati've drivers witch could be suitable for this card and WinXP?
    Thx for help!

    Go back to the download link and download the Waveset file. After which, follow the steps from this Knowledgebase article SID930 to install the waveset.

  • 5.1 problems with Sound Blaster L

    Hello all!
    I am having problems with my new 5. setup. I have the Logitech X-530 5. system with 5 satellites (Front: L/R/C, Rear: L/R) and what I believe is a Sound Blaster Li've! 5. card. The model number on the card is CT4780 and it has fi've ports on the back (plus MIDI).
    I connected the ports by color and only the Front L/R and sub work. I unplugged Black/Orange, and everything still works. I swapped the orange/black, still nothing. I updated the Windows profile to be 5. surround instead of 2 speakers, that doesn't work. I updated the Creative Labs drivers, that didn't do anything.
    I am only getting sound from Front L/R and sub, nothing from Center and Rear R/L. All the connections are secure and in their correct places. I have rebooted 0 times, that didn't do anything.
    I am totally lost. Does anyone have any pointers?
    [edit]: I am trying to get the sound out of Winamp. I have "Hardware Acceleration" on and have tried everything. The DirectSound plugin shows that only two channels are being used.

    I tried resetting the card AND the this:

  • 5.1 Headphones with Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 Digital (De

    Hi, I just purchased a pair of Kinyo 5. surround headphones and when I connect them to my Sound Blaster Li've! 5. Digital (Dell) soundcard, the center speaker sounds much weaker than the rest. I'm guessing that the black output on the card board is the rear speaker output, the green one the sides, and the yellow one the center/subwoofer or digital out. Enabling the CMSS setting helped a bit, but it still seems quite weak. Either that or the rear and side speakers are too loud. Is there any way with the card I have to adjust the levels of the side, rear, and center speakers?
    -Evan

    Try turning on the CMSS features. The sticky at the top of this (Sound Blaster) forum covers the steps on how to enable CMSS or you can check out the Knowledgebase article SID4883 for the steps.

  • Both Sound Blaster Live 5.1 and Integrated Sound Card Does Not W

    Hi! I <B>just</B> installed a new mother board and cpu. Its an ECS 755-A2 mother board with a 3200+ AMD Sempron/64-bit CPU. It's not the best, but i was trying to save money.Before, I had a soyo and a 2800+ AMD Athlon XP and i had the Sound Blaster Li've 5.. Now with this ECS mb, the sound card doesn't get detected anymore, even in device manager. I downloaded the new driver for the Sound Blaster Li've 5. from their official website and when I came to install it... it said that there were no Sound Blaster cards detected on my computer even though it was securely pushed in IN a pci slot!!Then I decided that I don't need sound blaster so i installed the driver for the integrated sound card on my mb (realtek AC-97) and everything LOOKS fine according to their program and the control panel (sound and audio options) but i dont receive any sound from anything at all. I was planning on buying a NEW sound card but then i decided to test this Sound Blaster Li've 5. on my bro's computer. Ironically, it was detected on his .2 ghz AMD Athlon Thunderbird and now i'm puzzled as why it wasn't detected on mine.<B>What solutions have I tried?</B>I installed numerous drivers for both the sound blaster and the integrated sound card repeatedly and there wasn't any hope. I re-installed the OS twice (I'm willing to do a third though)I don't know what else I can try.. can anyone help and please don't say the mother board :[?<B>Specs:</B>3200+ AMD Sempron/64-Bit CPU (2.2 ghz)ECS Elite Group 755-A2 Motherboard52 DDR RamGeforce 4 Ti4200 Video Card
