SB Audigy install prob

Ive had a audigy card off my brother , he updated his to an audigy2. Now he could not find the drivers.
So i've downloaded the drivers from creative lab. Installed the card driver and i get sound. Now i try to install the sound blaster pack to have mixer playcenter ,etc. It keeps coming up No sound found.
I have winxp sp2 . I can install my old sb li've 5. digital,with no problem . Its just the audigy card i have problems with.

I had the same problem. Easy solution: use the Software AutoUpdate from the creative site that can be found under support.

  • Audigy 2 ZS install prob

    I had a problem when all Creative diagnostic tests failed so I tried re-installing everything. After that things got worse. Several Creative programs would not run so I tried a cleansweep uninstall. That didn't fix the problems but I li've in hope so I tried it 2 more times. No luck - the faulting programs remain as in this list:
    Volume icon in systray
    Diagnostics
    Graphic equalizer
    Speaker settings
    Surround mixer
    Eax consule
    Nothing in Mediasource works and the toolbar appears as a blank white square.
    I'm using Win XPPro SP2. Onboard audio is disabled - no virus or malware detected and nothing but information messages in event log. Can anyone give me help on what to try next?
    Regards from your perplexed friend

    You could try installing in a clean boot session. This mostly deals with install problems resulting from other programs like virus scanners. This is the only way I can install the software for my Audigy 2 card. The following link gives instructions on performing a clean boot in Windows XP.

    I have found that the programs you listed perform oddly or fail to run when the install is disrupted. Good Luck.

  • Audigy Gamer re install prob

    I am trying to re install my Audigy Gamer sound card and when I attempt this with the original install disk I get a error message saying that "Setup could not detect any sound blaster audigy on your system. Please ensure that your sound blaster hardware is properly installed before running this setup program. Setup will exit now". When I look in the device manager I can see that Windows has a "Creative Audigy Audio Processor (WDM)" listed.
    How is it possible that Windows sees Audigy hardware and yet Audigy's own install software doesn't? Also how can I get this thing properly installed ? I've un installed it several times and physically removed the card already and after 3 hours of this fun stuff I am right back where I started.
    Thanks for any help

    Hi. I've got the same problem after reinstalling windows and installing sp2. I keep getting the same error messages. few times on reinstall of old drivers from the cd it actualy went frough with installation and there actualy was sound at windows shut down. but on starup nothing again. tried reinstalling few times. tried installing new updated drivers, but thouse would not install at all! tried changing pci slots, nothing.. and it seems that creatives techs or c.s. reps have no interest in looking in forum nor they have any idea what the problem is with this issue . I suspect it has to do with sp2 update. may be direct x issue. but can't roll back to previuse version of direct x without reinstalling the sp2. any one has any idea how to fix this sound card issue?

  • Audigy 2 CD driver install prob

    This problem struck me as VERY strange, so I decided to ask here, I have an SB Audigy 2 ZS.
    Last night all was well. I was listening to music and playing games, and all my drivers and software were working perfectly.
    This morning I turn on the PC, and I was having a strange windows problem unrelated to the sound card, which ended up in me having to reinstall Windows.
    During the Windows setup program, it kept crashing at one spot, and coming up with a blue screen stop error stating some problem with "ctoss2k.sys". After a short Google search, I found a guy who had the same problem, and found out that it was a file for his sound card. He deleted the file so that the Windows setup could continue. I did the same, and it worked, which fixed my Windows problem.
    I now realize my mistake, as this completely broke my sound card and it wouldn't work at all. So I uninstalled the drivers completely and got out my CD, figuring I'll install the CD drivers and then auto update from the creative site. However, the CD says it doesn't recognize that I have a SB sound card, while autoupdate says I do have one and that I don't need any critical updates.
    As it is now, I have no sound at all and no drivers, I can't install the ones on the CD and the autoupdater says everything's fine.
    Plz help

    I have the same problem with boot for xp sp2. (all up?to date)? ctoss2k.sys cause a boot failure.deleted the ctoss2k.sys and computer boots fine. wasnt a problem until I found that one of the SB components didnt work anymore and I tried a software update.component (SB recorder) still didnt work so reloaded original software... then ctoss2k.sys error popped up. so .. back to updating again and hope things will work. Creative ..... ctoss2k.sys is a problem!

  • Audigy Gamer prob

    I have a Sound Blaster Audigy Gamer that I bought quite a while ago. It is retail and installs fine off of the CD (drivers, applications, etc.). Because the drivers on the CD are so old I want to update them. I downloaded the AUD_WEBUP_PCWDRV_-84-40 driver setup program off of Creative's site but it gives me the "Setup could not detect any Sound Blaster Audigy on your system."
    In the device manager there is the Creative Audigy Audio Processor (WDM) and it is enabled and is shown as working properly, which it is. The sound works through the card and everything plays okay but I want to update the drivers and everything for the next generation games and whatnot (though I probably should just upgrade the card, but that is irrelevant).
    The web setup program is an .exe file so I cannot just extract it and get the drivers out so I don't really know how to get around this detection problem. Any help would be appreciated.System:AMD Athlon 64 3400+EPoX 8KDA series motherboardBFG GeForce 6800 OC

    One of the listed requirements for that file is:

    The file you need to install first is called AUD_EAX4DRV_0303.exe

  • Audigy 2 prob

    Having a strange problem with my soundcard. With eax enabled in several games (Call of Duty, Halo, etc) sound positioning is all wrong. For example if I am shooting a rifle over my shoulder in Call of Duty, the gun sounds like it's really far away. As I move the gun further from me, the sound volume increases as though it's getting closer. In other words, it seems like sound positioning is reversed.
    I've gone as far as a fresh XP install, and updated drivers through the creative labs website. No luck in fixing problem. I had the same problem on a separate machine, and a fresh xp install solved the problem.
    Any suggestions? This is really annoying!
    Thanks.

    Hate to inform you...but you need to take your card out back and shoot it...it's the only humane thing to do....luck!

  • Audigy SE prob

    Hi!
    I just installed my new <span class="text_smallest">Audigy SE soundcard, but I'm having problems with the signal being too loud.
    When I have both Wave and Playback at minimum in the sound control centre, the sound is still too loud for any amplifier or speakers to handle.
    I've been searching for a solution to this, but with no luck.
    Anyone with the same problem, or does anyone know the solution to this, because at the moment, I can't use the soundcard.. :\

    Yours is a very odd statement. CL's cards are basically designed to output standard (consumer-equipment) line-level at full volume, which powered speakers and audio gear are designed to accept.
    Are you getting loud output when the card isn't doing anything? What happens if you "mute" everything in the mixer except Wave and Playback?

  • Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Prob

    I usually don't have major problems with my computer.. I scan reguarly and check for spyware... I keep my computer clean..etc..
    Last night I rebooted and got errors...
    one was:
    PCI input device could not be found..
    and also
    394 network adapter
    I also had no sound..
    I reinstalled (I thought) and got my sound back..with no icon on the task bar..(no diagnostics) come to find out I had not installed and when I tried it would not let me..gave me another error saying..
    could not detect sound blaster audigy 2 on this system
    Please ensure sound blaster hardware is properly installed before running this setup program
    this setup will now exit..
    I do have sound now..but its still not showing I have Sound blaster audigy 2 software or anything of Sound Blaster on my computer..
    I have checked device manager and all hardware is working properly..
    I have a dell computer with windows xp
    any help would be greatly appreciated..
    Dee

    Dee,
    If the card came supplied with the PC, then you may need to contact Dell to get specific drivers or applications for it.
    Is the card working correctly now? Is it listed in Device Manager, with no error messages? What did you use to reinstall, was it a CD, or a driver? If it was just a basic driver pack, then it's likely that doesn't include any extra applications.

  • OS install probs

    hiho!
    i have a prob.
    when i want to install Win XP Professional my computer hangs always after the screen where it says "press F6 for RAID / SCSI controllers"
    but when i install win98 my compi works without any problems.
    i don't know what i have to do..(is it the harddisk controller?? - i have changed 5 different controllers, but always the same: compi hangs :( )

    Hi Majo,
    I don't know what you mean when you say "I have changed 5 different controllers" do you mean you've changed the Mobo 5 times or are you using a PCI RAID card with your HD.
    If you are using a PCI RAID card then you must install the drivers when XP asks for you to setup RAID/SCSI.
    I Had similar probs with my K7N420D pro. I narrowed it down to one of two things:
    1. On board Ethernet - XP didn't like the fact that I was plugged into an active cable modem whilst installing (XP).
    2. PCI RAID Controller - XP didn't like this either and I had to remove it whilst installing XP - installed the card after succesful XP install.
    BTW, I have a dual boot system and had no such difficulties with installing Windows ME.
    May or may not help you - just a thought.

  • Sound Blaster Audigy installed - How do I play Auxillary inp

    I connected my li've dri've with my Sound Blaster Audigy (). After doing this, I installed the drivers from the website below. However, I only installed the program "Creative Sound Blaster Audigy, Audigy 2 series and Audigy 4 series Driver 02.08.0004."
    That program doesn't come with anything (as far as I can tell) that will let me listen to the audio coming in through the auxillary plug on the Li've Dri've. Does anyone know what I need to install so I can listen to stuff through my li've dri've?

    Thank you very much and sorry for the dumb question.

    Ok, so, here's the deal...
    I uninstalled and reinstalled the driver according to this (http://ask.americas.creative.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE?New,Kb=ww_english_add,U={B8F6030-DA4F-D3-94F4-00500463020E},Company={CEAE26D-879-4C00-AC9F-03BC258F7B70},d=3025443648,VARSET=ws:http://us.creative.com,case=72). However, I did not have the installation CD so I used the driver I downloaded, but everything seemed to work fine and sound played fine. Problem is, when I open windows "Play Control" I do have an auxilliary option, but sound still does not play out of the auxillary option.
    I tried again to use "Li'veDrvUni-Pack(ENG).exe", but it again gave me the message "Setup could not detect any Sound Blaster Audio card on your system. Please ensure that your Sound Blaster hardware is properly installed before running this Setup program. Setup will now exit."
    Please someone help me I'm trying to get my new Sirius to play through my auxillary and I just can't seem to get this to work. I have the IDE cable connected from the Li've Dri've to the card and the black cord connected from the card to the driver and, with this same setup, the card worked fine on a different computer. Is there some software I need to download for the card? The only thing that came with the driver package was the driver and "Creative Audio Console" and I have no other Creative programs whatsoever.
    Thank you for all your help. I'm sorry to be such a newbie, but I really want to make this work.
    Why are you trying to install the Li'veDrvUni-Pack(ENG), if you got an Audigy series card?
    I think the Li'veDrvUni-Pack(ENG) is intented for SB Li've! cards and not for Audigy.
    If you have an "OEM"/"Var pack" version of the card then you perhaps need to patch the installation using ctcomp.exe
    (you'll find the link and instructions by searching the file from this forum).

  • Itunes 5: crashes my system when i import cd; install prob.

    I installed itunes 5 and it completed installation but at the end a windows error saying it crashed came up, but itunes still installed and could open when i rebooted. i don't have the driver related to virus protection mentioned in another post.
    then i tried to import a cd, four times. the first time, it froze my system and i had to reset the whole thing. the second time, it did the same thing. and the third and fourth times, it rebooted my computer without warning. my system is otherwise very stable. i'm running xp pro, with all the major updates.
    i'm kinda po'd. i would have stayed with the last version if i had known.

    hi David!
    The common denominator for me at least is that QT7 was part of iTunes 5.0.1 and is now paired with 4.9.
    that's interesting. if nothing else works, we can try rolling you back to QT 6.5.2 to see if that helps matters.
    let's have a look at your error logs.
    right-click "My Computer", select "Manage", click on your event viewer.
    we're looking in your System and Application logs for any error/warning events that are occurring at the time of any failed imports. (it would be particularly interesting also if you could also determine if any suspicious events
    b weren't
    happening at the time of successful imports prior to the QT 7 install.)
    if you find suspicious-looking types of event, click on an example to bring up a small window. note down the
    b Source, Event ID and Description
    of the event, and report back with your findings.
    love, b

  • ITunes 10 on Windows install prob solved

    After a very frustrating experience trying to uninstall/reinstall iTunes 10 on a Vista machine using Norton, my difficulties were actually resolved by bypassing a Netgear wireless router.
    I was repeatedly getting "invalid signature" upon downloading the iTunesSetup.exe regardless of firewalls/Norton being enabled/disabled.
    I simply connected to my cable modem directly to the machine and re-established a connection.
    Ran the exe as administrator and everything installed fine.
    I hope this helps anyone experiencing the same frustration, and provides a possible solution.

    Glad you found that!
    Yes, that solution (to bypass wireless router and connect directly to a cable modem) has been posted many times over the past year.
    Some sort of setting in the router is letting the file download enough to be considered "complete", but obviously something is not downloading correctly, or the error message wouldn't occur.
    Nobody has ever posted back if updating Netgear drivers or fiddling with MTU settings fixes this.
