SB04100 Sound Blaster Card not working after computer rebuild

=SB0400 Sound Blaster Card not working after computer rebuildZ I did a full disk format and reinstall for a friend on a Dimension 3000, running XP SP3. There is no sound at all. Speakers are good, tested on another system. Model number on the back of the sound card is SB0400, so I assume this is an older 24 bit PCI SoundBlaster card. Although I reinstalled all drivers from Dell, I found no drivers for this. The Creative site has no listing for this model.
Computer does not seem to recognize the card. Have not opened the box yet but I assume if I were to remove and then reinstall the card it would be recognized (?) I then have to find an SB0400 driver.
Does anyone know where I can find an SB0400 driver ? Does the strategy of pulling and reinstalling the card make sense ? (I have really avoided tampering with any of the hardware on this box -- since it is not mine.)

Re: SB0400 Sound Blaster Card not working after computer rebuild? Thanks much for your response. Problem solved for now. I removed the board and then reinserted it, after which I was able to download the drivers directly. Some of my difficulty with this whole process has been ) I didn't know there was no working speaker in the computer and 2) I apparently misunderstood the BIOS settings for this. I re-set it up as an add-on board during the troubleshooting process. After loading the driver, I went back to the original setting (don't recall what it was but it was for integrated sound). The setting for integrated sound works fine, with external speakers and the new 24 bit driver. Still some noise (popping and static) but this board shares the bus with 2 other cards one of which is a wireless network card. May be a PCI latency issue but I'm reluctant to change that because the network card is a bit shaky anyway.
Everything works for now -- I'll be glad to get this particular computer out of my house !

My sound system does not work AFTER installing pc to tv wireless connection

my sound system does not work after installing hp pc to tv wireles device when I am using lap top for other purposes.

Hi,
You don’t install VS2010 on the client PC, then where did the Form Invoice not work? When you run it from another version of VS? Or when you run the application with application.exe?
Based on your description, one form works well, another form does not. I assume that two forms are in two different projects, then please check the .Net Framework used by the two projects. If they are different, you can use the
one used by the Form contact for Form Invoice.
Because this issue is a project issue, I recommend you to consult it on some application forum such as Windows Forms General forum for better support.
VS General Question forum mainly discusses
the usage of Visual Studio IDE such as
WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help
System and Visual Studio Editor.

Satellite U400-17R - Sound device is not working after installing XP

Hi there,
I purchased a U400-17R Model with Vista Home. i Formatted it and installed Windows XP Professional downloading the XP drivers from Toshiba site.
Everything works but my Sound Device is not working. when i check in the Device Manager the Sound Drivers are there and it says working properly.
I am Lost...Can anyone please help?

Hi!
On Windows XP you have to install two patches from the Microsoft Knowledge Base for high definition audio cards. If you only have SP1 or SP2 you need the patches but if you have SP3 you dont need it because they are a part of SP3.
Both patches or SP3 must be installed *first* and then the sound driver. So if you have installed the sound driver first you must remove it and then install the patches again. After this it should work with the sound:

My sound system is not working after my last updates on my imac,what shall i do to get fixed?

Hello any body who can help me out here?
My sound system is not working on my imac after the last updates,
WHAT SHALL I DO FOR????

apollos211,
You marked this as solved, so chances are no one else will respond.
You can try going Applications>utilities>audio MIDI set up, output tab and check to see if built in is selected.
Also check in system preferences>sound >output and see what is selected there.
If you look in the headphone port and see a red light (this means it is in digital mode), try taking a set off headphones and plugging them in and out several times also wiggle them around gently. There is a micro switch that sometimes gets stuck.
Hope this helps, if still no joy try reposting so that more contributers might check it, as once checked as solved it reduces the number of people checking.
All the best

Audio / Sound Card not working after Soundblaster.USB.Audio.Support.pkg

Ok, first - confess - it was stupid. I installed the Soundblaster.USB.Audio.Support.pkg package, which i downloaded from the internet, to make the harman Kardon Soundsticks (USB-Version) working, as nothing happened when plugging them in.
First, it ruined the mouse working after reboot and also disabled the internal sound card, not even as device available anymore. I fixed the mouse problem by installing IOUSBFamily-281.4.0-log(PPC).dmg
How can I make the sound card be available and working again ? I also updated to 10.4.11. Did not help ! Can you ? Thanks !

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
First, look in system preferences, accounts, and for your login account look at login items to see if there is a Soundblaster USB module that is loaded when you reboot your system. Delete it if there is one.
If you updated to 10.4.11 by software update, download the combo update from http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10411comboupdat eppc.html . The combo update is a complete update for all updates to 10.4, and installing the combo sometimes fixes odd things.

My sound device does not work after yesterdays update

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)

Z97 Gaming 7 Sound Blaster Cinema not working

Hi Guys,
i m having the same problem with most people.. with SBC
i can;'t get SBC working.. always show " the current selected audio is disabled.. blah blah blah.."
click "yes"
"no supported audio device available"
Tried with the following steps already:
1.uninstall SBC,
2. restart
3. uninstall realtak audio drive
4.restart
5. manually remove all audio drives in device manager
6. install realtak audio drive
7. restart
8. install SBC
9. restart
10. now audio drive does show Realtak audio drive, but SBC still not working, same pop-up prompt.
anyone have any idea how to get it work?
or does it matter if i dont use SBC?

Just checked the BIOS Section if any Z97 BIOS's are showing up yet. For flashing I trust the forum's USB method over anything else. In the interim, I have used M-Flash with a bootable USB stick using the BIOS + ME choice on Z87 without a problem prior to the forum offering the file archives.

Sound driver does not work after reinstalling XP on Tecra M9

Hi,
After lot's of fighting i've given up. It's just been imposible to get my sound card up a running on my TECRA M9 PTM91E, after i decided to give it a clean up by formating the disk entirely. My proceedure goes as follows:
1. Installed WINDOWS XP SP2
2. Downloaded of all drivers on another pc. Downloads from toshiba's official driver site: http://es.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=ES
3. Installed drivers in correct order following instructions: http://es.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/tracker.jsp?file=http%3a%2f%2fsupport.toshiba-tro.de%2ftedd-files2%2f0%2finstall-20070918164527.zip
4. No luck when attempting to install sound card driver (download page specifies an integrated realtek) tried following version first: http://es.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/tracker.jsp?file=http%3a%2f%2f81.27.174.52%2ftedd-files2%2f0%2fsound-20071002102843.zip
5. Messed around trying older drivers from other TECRA M Series laptops, no luck either.
6. Decided sound card just might not be a Realtek and tried other models on the download page: Sigma and Analog Devices Inc. Tried those but got back a non recognition alert.
Has anyone had this problem as well? My best guess it's just might be a problem about the driver version...

Yes, I have exactly the same problem.
We are building our master unit and we *must* do a install from bare metal of all the software. We do an automated provisioning for the rest of our massive purchase.
We have build a custom version of the Windows XP SP2 installation CD (with disk and chipset drivers injected). It has been working ok.
We have installed all the software drivers using the same procedure as yours (in the order proposed in install.txt).
The only thing that has failed is the sound.
This is the first place we ask for a solution. I hope we will have an answer (from toshiba) soon.

Sound blaster card not found when installing softw

Hi guys if any one can help me much appreciated. I have read alot of the forums and have tried creatives advice. I installed the drivers for my audogy 2 zs soundcard fine. It sees it in device manager as creative audigy audio processor wdm and i can see creative game port. My specs are
amd 64 3400
asues k8n-e deluxe motherboard onboard sound disabled in bios
ati 9800 pro video card
gig of corsair ram
logitech z680 5. surround
The problem i am having is installing the software for the card. When ever i click on the exe all it says is no soundblaster has been found on your computer. I am a IT guy for a phone company so i am not a noob when it comes to computers. This is the first exe i have ever clicked on and got errors over and over. After reading the forums with people that have the same problem why havnt creative put the software installs on there website so we can dl them since were having issues. I have tried all the steps on the forums and creatives tech support. If you can post the software standalone along with your updates it would be much appreciated. I get sound now utilizing my z680 speakers to there full potential. If any one can help me it would be appreciated thx.

Internet connection not working after computer wakes up from sleep. OSX Lion

After upgrading to Lion, I noticed that my internet connection doesn't work when I wake my computer from sleep. I have to turn off the WiFi connection, turn it back on and it will work. I guess this is a glitch that will be fixed later on. Just wanted to point it out. I don't know if someone else is having the same problem? I am not very happy with the upgrade to Lion, things seem to be slower, I've had several freezes requiring to reboot. I guess Lion needed a little more twicking before release. Not worth the $29.99 price tag.

I had this problem on SL and on Lion as well, and it occures for WiFi and Ethernet connections.
In fact the internet connection was not broken as I could ping the destination usin the IP (not DNS name).
In this case the problem was related to mDNSResponder task which handles all dns queries.
It was the most frequent problem in my day to day work with SL and now Lion. It was never fixed by any patch from Apple. I tried almost all voodoo including fresh install, all possible config changes - no solution.
The only version with no problems related to network was 10.5.8. All the other versions had issues of different kind (WiFi instability (lost signal), DNS problems (for wireless and wired connection) sometimes associated with machine sleep and wake up and sometimes with no reason.
QUESTION: Is your problem independent of the access point / router you connect to.
I must say networking was (and still is) the weakest part, besides the other OS X weaknesses I experienced during 4 years of OS X usage.
No problems in the same network with Linux or Windows beeing ran natively on my iMac So hardware is OK.
Software is of poor quality. Not much more to say in this matter.
I found a very interesting article dated 1996 about programming which I think is still valid.
Link to the article: http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/06/writestuff.html
Below the fragment (with some connection to Apple)
Software is everything. It also s***s.
"It's like pre-Sumerian civilization," says Brad Cox, who wrote the software for Steve Jobs NeXT computer and is a professor at George Mason University. "The way we build software is in the hunter-gatherer stage."

Windows server 2003 not working after computer hard restart

Hello, the following problem did occure. I was logged to windows server 2003, working on it, when my pc suddenly frozen, so i had no other option, than to make a hard restart of my pc. From that time, when a log into the windows server, i can see the server

Can anyone help me, how to solve this problem ?
Thank you for your answers

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that Windows Server 2003 unable to start correctly.
You may try to restart the computer, when you see the message Please select the operating system to start, press the F8 . select the
Last Known Good Configuration, in order to start the computer by using the most recent settings that worked.
Or you may select Windows Advanced Option –> Safe Mode, check to see if this was caused by faulty drivers, programs, or services that start automatically.

Applications on Memory Card not working after Firm...

I have an N73 that I back up regularly, including the memory card.
My PC suite informed me that there was a newer version of firmware for my phone so I decided to upgrade.
I did a complete backup of my phone and card and then did the upgrade.
I then did a restore from the backup to get all my contact etc back again.
All applications that were loaded on my phone are working but none of the applications on the card will start.
Anyone got an ideas on how I can get them working again? Preferably without having to re-load as that will mean I will have to buy them again.

juz go to application manager. in it, u can see the applications u have installed previously are stating uninstalled. juz install them once again, n they will retrieve.
