no there is not and never will be drivers for Vista for that card.
Really wish places would stop selling those cards as they were declared "end of life" a couple of years ago, and as a result there will be no more support for them ever. Would be really nice if Creative was any sort of stand up company that they would recall any outstanding stock of these cards, so that people would buying them. Then again this is Creative we are talking about here, and I guess it is more fun to milk a dead product for all they can.

Can't install drivers for sound blaster live Telling me there isn't a sound blaster card install

I am doing a fresh install of xp on a machine. This machine had no hardware issues before I formated the dri've and re-installed windows xp.
Everytime I go to install the drivers for the sound card I get an error message telling me that setup cannot find a sound blaster card installed on the system?
I even pulled a known working li've card from the machine I have downstairs. Put the card in and started up the machine. The driver pack is still telling me there is no card installed. I've tried three different pci slots as well.
I even went as far as re-installing windows xp without service pack 2 integrated and even that didn't help!!!
Is there some kind of fix that I am missing?

the unipack download from creative will not work. first, try asking around if somebody else has the same 5. creative card as yours. the only solution for your problem is to use the installation cd that came with your creative card. I lost mine so i went to a pc repair shop and inquired if they have a copy of such cd - they normally do.
. you need to remove all the programs concerning creative from add remove programs. 2. shut down, and remove the sound card. 3. turn the pc on and let windows boot normally. install the the softwares and drivers using the cd that came with the box. 4. shut down and install the sound card 5. turn on the pc. windows will find a new hardware and will find the right drivers bec you have previously installed them. There is absolutely no need to reformat your hard dri've.

Sound Blaster ZX works with no drivers, doesn't work with drivers installed...

Greetings one and all,
I've just built a Windows 8.1 Enterprise system on an Asus Z9PA-D8 with dual processors installed. When any of the sound blaster drivers (CD or downloaded) are installed the card stops working. Uninstall everything, and it works again.
I hope this is some simple configuration issue.
Anybody got any suggestions?

Okay, it was a configuration issue. I ran diagnostics and configured to output to speakers.

Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio (PCI-Express) + Vista 32bit an media pla

Hi folks,Maybe someone here can help me with this issue, I recently bought a Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio 7. Sound Card - OEM (PCI-Express), it arri'ved with the cd with software and drivers on it and i installed it into my vista 32bit without any problems.On rebooting my sound was working normally and as far as i could tell all was great untill that is i went to play some mp3 using windows media player, wmp kept telling me it couldnt play the file type then i tried to play a wma file an got the same thing, basically almost all audio types will no longer play in wmp. I rolled back the driver to use the microsoft driver (high defination audio device) and everything is playing in media player again.Only now i cant use the software suppiled with the card. Anyone have any idea how to use the creative driver and get wmp to play properly thanks in advance.
(in addition) after some messing around with various settings i discovered that this seems to be caused by the sb enhancements, when i disable them in speaker properties wmp plays as it should, althought i am rather disappointed that i have to disable the features on the card inorder to get it to work properly.

Hi Orion,
You might want to get in touch with support to enquire about the CD.

Sound blaster live player 5.1 drivers... whe

Hi all,
Well, a simply question. Where I can find drivers and updates for my SB li've player 5. I means:
- I go to support page,
- choose my country (Spain, in Europe ;-) ),
- my product (SoundBlaster),
- my product family (li've!)
- and... where is the Li've player 5. option? I only can see Li've, Li've 5., but nothing about li've player...
Anyone can say me what are the correct option for this sound card? or maybe I must choose another country?
Thanks in advance. Regards

Ok, I reply myself... I must get the drivers for Li've 5., right?
Regards

No Sound after clean installation of windows 7 from Vista

I had a problem with vista on my Hp dv6809wm laptop. My sound driver kept deleting itself and when I would do a system recovery it suddely worked again, but only for a short while. Eventually it stopped working entirely. Then my next step was an HP driver recovery, which also worked a couple times but then stopped. After a couple weeks I decided to purchase Windows 7 through my school and do a "clean" installation to wipe out everything and start fresh. Well when I finally got done, my sound still doesnt work, and im still getting the red x over the sound icon, I have no sound driver. HP support has no sound drivers for my computer for windows 7 or HP, only 3 for vista, I have tried them all and I get different error messages each time, usually saying driver not found (isnt that the point of downloading it?) or it will say cannot find media something. I have no idea what to do. Please help

There is posibilily for hardware problem, broken sound chip in particular.
Backup all of your data and try HP system recovery, choose factory installed setting.
It will restored all software and drivers as "new" condition.
If it does not fix the sound problem, 100% you have hardware problem.
Installing Win7 wont fix it.

Sound Blaster X-FI drivers not working

I have a sound blaster x-fi card, im pretty sure thats the model, and i downloaded updated drivers that were supposed to support it i believe it was SBXF_PCDRV_XPVT_LB_2_18_0015.exe. After installation i have no sound at all and if i try to chose the volume mixer it gives me an error message: "There are no active mixer devices available..."
It shows that it is installed properly and functioning in device manager and Windows Audio Service is running. After the updated drivers weren't working i rolled back to my previous drivers and the problem is persisting even with the old drivers that worked before. I'm at a loss I have tried everything i can think of even reloading drivers from the original installation cd from 2007 and i cant find anyone with the same problem on the net.

the full model number of the device is sb0460
I used auto update to find the offending drivers that are the whole cause of this issue. I know it is a problem with windows but it was caused by me attempting to update these faulty drivers. Updating the drivers is the only thing i have changed on the system that now has no devices available for playback. i have since uninstalled and removed the card from my mobo and switched to onboard audio and now that doesn't even work.
Just like the sound blaster, the onboard audio's drivers are working fine and the device says its functional yet i cant select it as a default playback device and i get the same errors when trying to open the mixer.
So basically the botom line is that the auto updater or the subsequent drivers that were retrieved by it messed up something in my system that even system restore cant fix.
I would love to do a full re-installation of windows xp media center but this is a hand me down computer and i dont have the installation disks. I'll probably have to buy or request one then wait 6 months just to have a functional computer again.

Please Read this ! USB Sound Blaster 24-Bit External : The Story of the endless problem

In order to keep the good behavior here (I`m really pissed off !) I just?want to tell you something (this is ESPECIALLY for all the guys from the stuff)?Before 2 days I`ve decided to buy a new sound system for my room. I bought myself Creative Inspire t600 5. surround system. Cool. I was very happy. I?needed only to buy a sound card?working with 5. because I have a notebook DELL INSPIRON 50 who has only 2 canals. So in order to be everything beautiful I gave $70 for Usb sound blaster 24-Bit external. And from that time the problems began. In short :? I was using Vista but I found out that it wont work with this soundcard. The first problem : Didn`t identify the device. I tried with several drivers... Nope. No sound card with Vista.(This problem seems to appearance with many owners like me)?I pluged the usb soundcard in my old pc running XP and it worked . PERFECTLY. So I removed Vista from my notebook and intalled XP. This took me whole day to rebuild all my software. Finally it left to set up the sound drivers. The cherry of the icecream. Aaaaand ..... **bleep**. When I play?any track it CRACKLES. Again problem appearanced with many here. I tried to find out here what is the problem but unfortunately as u can see my english is quite bad?so I cant understand?what I need.I really like Creative but if they cant manage this problem I will?no longer buy their stuffs??JUST PLEASE SOMEBODY ANSWER ME IS THERE ANY SOLUTION FOR THIS OR NOT. I JUST WANT STRAIGHT ANSWERPS : Please do not delete my post. I know there are plenty like this. I dont want this crackles

well ?

Sound Blaster External card and Windows

I recently up-graded from W/98SE to XP I have an external sound card Model SB0270, I have the card (USB) plugged directly into the back of my computer. My card was working just fine until I installed XP now my computer doesn't see my sound card. I have uninstalled and reinstall, re booted afterwards, shut down every running program before hand, everything you should and could do but still no sound. I do a diagnostics and it fails every time. I have tried to download software and driver upgrades but that too has failed because my computer says I need to allow pop-up. I have allowed pop up ads as directed, checked my firewall and it will allow junk in but still no up-dates and no sound. Under Control Panel, devices, Sound and Audio Device, hardware, Creative Sound Blaster, Properties, the message there is "this device is working properly" and it says "Use this device (enabled). I don't understand, Is there any help for this card, it is only 3 month old.
very frustratedMessage Edited by frustratedNJM on 0-20-2004 09:26 PM

FrustratedNJM,
Try running DXdiag on the card and see if the card passes the sound tests. Go to Start/Run and type Dxdiag into the run box then click Ok. Go to the sound tab and run the Direct Sound tests. Does it pass them? If so you may want to try to cleansweep and reinstall the Audigy 2 NX after finishing the USB chipset updates. Here is the article that deals with cleansweeping the drivers out.

Sound Blaster Audigy SE Driver Prob

I have a problem with Sound Blaster Audigy SE,
Im using newest from creative download site SBA_PCDRV_LB__04_006.exe drivers.
After I turn on a game like ut2004, fear combat, even dxdiag (sound test) or pause sound in music/movie player system stops reacting or process "System" uses 95-00% of my CPU.
After few tests I discovered with help of KrView (kernel view soft) that p7filt.sys uses such big ammount of cpu If in Speaker Settings, Bass Redirection and Subwoofer Gain (+5) is turned on. (5. speakers)
I installed a bit diffrent version of drivers (from cd and even later I tested SBSE7_XP_Jul2005 additional driver). But then Subwoofer Gain option isnt working at all
its written Subwoofer Gain (+0) and with sub gain +0 sound quality very poor like in AC97 audio.
Ive also checked friends sound card on my pc and also i've tested exactly same thing on other computer.
I have xp sp2 with updates, newest bios, directX, etc etc...

OK..first of all the Audigy SE lacks any form of hardware acceleration, so turning on features like bass boosting/sound post-processing etc. will take away a lot of CPU time. The file you mentioned just acts as a software real-time filter, although it should not go up to the point of bringing a 2.4 Ghz Pentium 4 to its knees.
The sound quality will be altered even with every "DSP" effect (quoted because there's no actual hardware DSP, it's just emulated in software) set to 0, as long as the "DSP is considered acti've.
That's because the sound output is first converted from the time domain to the frequency domain (in poor words, the continuous sound wave you hear is broken down in many different frequencies like in those 80s ghettoblasters spectrum analyzers) because it's easier to amplify bass/treble that way, and then converted back to time domain (in even poorer words, a continuous sound wave you can hear/record/playback).
It's obvious that doing that thing in real time has a CPU cost, and even more obvious that the procedure is lossy and the input will not be the same as the output even with no effect applied, as long as the this double conversion takes place.
If you really need bass boost, turn any sound processing on the card OFF, and use speakers which have it. Also, if the CPU usage is abnormally high, try updated or a specific older version of the drivers that has more reasonable CPU usage/doesn't have that bug.

USB Sound Card (Sound Blaster Extigy) has stopped working with 10.5.7

I installed 10.5.7 this morning and after reboot it was stuck on the blue screen for an extremely long time. Subsequent reboots were the same, slow on the grey screen, slow on the blue screen. Total boot time was over 10 minutes.
I tried resetting PRAM, booted into safe mode, re-installed 10.5.7 from the combo update and still had the same problem.
I then looked at system.log for any hints at what was going wrong, there were entries like:
May 14 16:57:01 tarsus configd[14]: InterfaceNamer: iMac8,1/AppleACPIPlatformExpert/PCI0/AppleACPIPCI/UHC5@1A,1/AppleUSBUHCI/Sound Blaster Extigy@3a200000/IOUSBInterface@2 [1]
May 14 17:09:20 tarsus kernel[0]: USBF: 804.220 AppleUSBHubPort: Port 2 of Hub at 0x3a000000 about to terminate a busy device (Sound Blaster Extigy) after waiting 10 seconds
This is compared to 10.5.6 where there were no references to the Extigy in system.log.
There are other messages referring to IOKit:
May 14 16:56:41 tarsus kextd[10]: IOKitWaitQuiet() timed out waiting to write kernel symbols
May 14 16:57:01 tarsus configd[14]: InterfaceNamer: timed out waiting for IOKit to quiesce
May 14 17:01:10 tarsus /usr/libexec/hidd[38]: Timeout waiting for IOKit to be quiet
Which again, were not present with 10.5.6.
So of course when I unplug the Sound Blaster Extigy it works fine, boots nice and fast and there are no issues.
I would really like to still be able to use my Sound Blaster Extigy. Is there any way I can fix this now myself, or a chance of it being fixed in an update?

OK, for the Extigy issue ... it seems I have found a workaround.
Go to /System/Library/Extensions. There is a kernel extension for USB Audio, named AppleUSBAudio.kext.
10.5.6 contains version 2.6.0b11 of that module.
The 10.5.7. upgrade installs a new version, 2.6.4b11. Using a time machine backup
from earlier today, I simply reinstalled the old module.
Now booting is again very fast and the Extigy is recognized once again.
Conclusion: There must be a bug in the new version which affects the Extigy.

Help needed upgrading from Vista to XP for Conexant Sound Driver

I upgraded from Vista to XP and got everything else working except for the sound. I have scoured the interenet and tried many versions of drivers from Vista ones to XP ones with no success. Even though the drivers seem to update correctly when installed, after a reboot there is no sound device loaded in the control panel for sound. I have a P105-6197 model laptop. Does anyone have any process to make this work that is proven? Thanks
