SB Live reinstall probl

Ok, here's my story: I recently had a hard dri've fail on me, so I had to reinstall Windows (2000) on a new one and basically start over. I have everything pretty much back to normal now, except for my SB Li've. When I first booted up, it acted like it wasn't there (I hadn't touched it since it was working on my previous incarnation of windows), and a self detect on "Add Hardware" didn't find anything, so I moved it to another PCI slot. Windows finally detected it, and after a while I got the drivers installed off the CD.
Unfortunately, the story doesn't end there. Once everything seemed to be in order, I tried playing some music and it had major clipping issues, to the point that you didn't hear music, just noise. After messing with the settings, I found that it sounded better when all volume settings were put on minimum, but it was still far from listenable. I assume that the volume issue means that the clipping is caused by the output being at way too high a volume for its own good (or that there's a bottleneck in the process somewhere). Also, this only happens when digital output is enabled. With digital output disabled, I get no sound at all.
I downloaded the Li'veDrvUni-Pack, but after starting up the wizard it says that it can't find any SB cards on the computer at all.
So that's where I am as of now. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

AndrewT,
Try uninstalling the Li've! from Device Manager and resetting the system. Cancel out the "found new hardware wizard" when is comes up if possible. Then run the Li'veDrvUniPack and it should detect the Li've! card in the PCI slot.

  • Onboard SoundBlaster Live 24bit probl

    I just recently got a MSI nforce 4 motherbaord (platinum SLI) with onboard Li've 24bit. It works fine for low quality sound, but if i try and utilise it fully in games, like Halo, then it lags and only plays parts of the sound. I was wondering if it could be that the hardware it not fully accelerated but i'm unsure where to find that option.
    I'm running XP with the latest drivers. Please help.
    Cheers, Mcphie

    i guess creatives products are just cack then! all i have read on these forums is how people from a variety of different soundcards, experience this pop and crackle noise. but yet, no proper drivers fix for most! and the fix they suggest rarely seem to work. certainly not for me!
    quite frankly, im rather anoyed that creative are being allowed to get away with this. i for one will NOT be buying anything in your range again.

  • Sound Blaster Live (Mic proble

    I am a guitar player and I use a program called Guitar Pro to read sheet music and to tune my guitar quickly. However ever since I got a SB Li've it hasn't worked at all.
    The microphones will record but only if I have my guitar at a crazy crazy volume.
    I know it's the microphones because I've tried four different mics already (one being new out of the box).
    I have the record volume all the way (even with mic boost 20db) and all options are all the way up. Anyone have any idea?

    cowadvance, have you also tried increasing the volume at the Control Panel for Sounds and Audio Devices Properities?Hope that will help you.

  • Soundblaster live 24bit probl

  • Audigy Platnum 2 Live drive probl

    Hello I purchased an Audigy platnum 2 from a friend with the li've dri've. Everything is installed, updated drivers from creative's website and I still cannot get the li'vedri've to function properly. Headphones work fine, microphone does not. Neither does firewire port. When I plug into the card on the backside of the PC everything works fine, but I really would like to get the li'vedri've up and running for the convenience. The mic sounds really weak and muffled when I try to record in Audition or soundbooth and just when it is plugged in it has the same muffled light sound. Any help would be appreciated.
    BTW system specs
    XP SP2
    q9300
    4 gigs DDR2 066 Ram
    geforce 8600

    To summarise everything worked ok for a period of time, then, when attempting to use the headphones (which had worked prevoiusly) there was no sound. Further investigation revealed that the remote, mic 2 and aux in 2 (which also worked previously?) also did not work but a red light still shows in optical out. You have tested these using the surround mixer to select the appropriate inputs.
    The red light in optical out shows you have power and connectivity to the card also they appear in the mixer ( if I understand your initial post correctly) which shows the card detects the front bay.
    This is difficult to comment on as everything seems to be as it should be. Please confirm in detail that my understanding is correct.
    PS. it would help if you call things by their correct names.

I followed the Apple troubleshooting advice--delete temp files, uninstall itunes, shut down computer, restart, reinstall.  What's the problem and, especially, what's the fix? Walter Cohen

  • Having trouble watching live streams such as jtv and twitch.tv. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling adobe flash but I still get no stream just ads and pictures. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Having trouble watching live streams such as jtv and twitch.tv. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling adobe flash but I still get no stream just ads and pictures. Anyone have any suggestions?

    I just wanted to follow this up by saying that you were entirely correct in your diagnosis of the situation.  My computer did have the faulty part you linked to.  I brought my laptop in and specifically told them to run that test, had it fail and then argued with the person at the genius bar and the manager.  Eventually they offered to have it sent out and have everything replaced for free of charge.  They did so mainly because I had complained about graphical issues almost every other time I had come in with problems and no one ran the test.  They should have caught this problem during my warranty, but they didn't, even though I mentioned the problem.
    Anyhow, after having the part replaced, I haven't had my computer crash a single time since, or had many of the issues mentioned above.  I've never had this experience before.  Even brand new, I got occasional crashes.  Hopefully this new trend continues.
    I do find that web browsing is still incredibly slow.  Web browsers just chug along at a slow pace, even though I have great internet speed.  Maybe I'll try just deleting my web browsers and reinstalling them...
    Anyhow, thank you for your help and knowledge Clinton.

  • Trying to reinstall in Flash Media live encoder

    How can I fix this problem when I try to install Flash  media  live encoder
    A conflicting or prerelease version of Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder exists on this computer. The conflicting version must be removed before installing from the current media.
    I uniinstall everything.''
    when I try and reinstall I keep getting the message

    Thanks for the reply.  The system clock is fine on my encoder - FMLE somehow either cannot read it or cannot insert in into the stream.  It does insert the system date (sd), but it doesn't really help for my slide synchronization.

  • I deleted all of the symantec software  on my macbook, but I am getting an error message saying to run live update or reinstall. I don't know why this is happening, I heard I may still have a file but I have looked and cannot find one. How do I fix this?

    If there is a leftover file, where do I find it. And is my computer at risk?

    I tried doing both, I couldnt find either symantec or live update in applications or when I searched through finder. I went to the activity monitor and found symantec and quit the process but the next time i logged on to my computer, it came back. this is what the error message looks like
    Thanks for trying!

  • Firefox 5 disabled my mcafee LIVE site advisor...can i get the version 4 reinstalled onto my comp?

    in order for me to run my mcafee LIVE site advisor, i had to switch over to Internet Explorer, which i dont care to use after using Mozilla for a number of years....Mcafee is in process of making this compatible, but, in the meantime....can i get Mozilla version 4 back onto my computer? or has the version been made obsolete?

    Due to security vulnerabilities, rolling back to Firefox 4.0.1 is not recommended.
    Have you considered alternate site reputation tools, such as the WOT add-on?
    Here's the process to roll back to 3.6.18:
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
    Close Firefox 5.
    You could install Firefox 3.6 over it (many have reported success) or you could uninstall Firefox first. If you uninstall, do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
    Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, Firefox 3.6 should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.
    Note: I haven't actually tried this myself!

  • Reinstalled drivers Recording is distorted. Playback of existing files fine. SoundBlaster Live

    I got a new motherboard an ABIT Socket A with an AMD 3000+ processor and gig of memory. After installing drivers 'Li'veDrvUni-Pack(ENG).exe' and also after installing patch 'Li'veDrvPack_Patch.exe' recording is distorted. The input level is not clipping but the playback of the new recording is horribly distorted. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers over and over and it just won't work. The playback of existing files is fine. Have duplicated problem with both ACID 4 , ACID 5, and microsoft sound reocorder, so I would assume it can't be an issue with recording software. I have the problem with a guitar plugged into the Mic and Aux2 inputs of the li've dri've as well as when recording 'What you Hear' with Winamp playing, so that rules out the li've dri've inputs. Has anyone had this same issue? I am going insane with this one. I had installed the KX drivers previously but found the interface awkward so I uninstalled them. I dont think that is the issue, since I have uninstalled them, as well as uninstalled and reinstalled the Creative drivers a few times since. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

    Yes exactly as you mentioned. I have SoundBlaster Li've! 24-Bit Internal and facing the same problem. All is working very good, but only sound in WOW is terrible: it's muffled, degraded and seems to runs only in 22khz.
    It is a big irony because i bought this card only for WoW to replace my onboard card and now the old one sounds much better in WoW as the new SB
    Anyone with help?
    Now it seems that I return my card like you... and people from creative, think about it! WoW is most played game ever!Message Edited by magnetique on 0-06-2006 :24 AM

  • My firefox is the most updated version but on certain sites like youtube and live mail, it keeps detecting an older brower. i have reinstalled firefox multiple times but still face the same problem. is there anyway to solve this?

    it's currently on version 3.6.13 but I have been facing this problem for months. I tried completely removing firefox from my applications (on my macbook) and reinstalling but the same problem persists, with websites detecting firefox version 2.0 instead of 3.6.

    You need to reset your user agent string, for details see [[Websites or add-ons incorrectly report incompatible browser]].
