Sound Blaster Audigy SL Error Unable to find CTRegSvr.exe: plxcore.

(sorry for my english)
Hi i'm italian and yesterday i decided to buy a nice sound card to improve my PC sound.
I buyed A Sound Blaster Audigy SL cause i have not so much money to buy a better Card but i think this card will be a nice solution..
After installation when i reboted has comed an error :
CTRegSvr.exe:
The application failed to start because plxcore.plx was not found. Re-installing the application may fix the problem.
And more, many programs of the Creative i.e. 2 example:
. There is a solid white square 68x65 pixels in size in the very top center of my desktop. It doesn't respond to mouse clicks, but I used Spy++ to determine it is a window that belongs to Creative MediaSource Go! It has window class name "EStart". There is no other MediaSource Go window anywhere, so this is my whole "Go!" experience.
2. The Creative Volume Control is in my system tray. Clicking it puts a button in my taskbar, but there is no associated window, and the button goes away if I do anything with my mouse, including clicking the button. Double-clicking the tray icon causes the cursor to change to the "working in background cursor" for a few seconds, but it doesn't seem to accomplish anything else. Right-clicking it does nothing.
I tried every type of uninstall and install software..... and way to do it wrote in some Knowlege... like...

What should i do to fix this problem....
I hope someone can halp me....
Thanks a lot.

Micro, I was unable to find the node in my registry of :
(b) HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uni nstall\5CDDF96A-BC34-4D72-9ABA-EFFF0C39977
but I was able to find the one for
(a) HKLM\Software\Creative Tech\Software Installed
and it did not work when I tried reinstalling. Any suggestions? I am having basically the same problem as everyone else, the installation CD does not recognize I have the hardware installed.
Should I delete everything in my registry under Creative Tech? Maybe that will work?
Thanks

    I have checked all security settings of my folders, (as someone proposed here to some one else, who had problem which was also linked somehow to fdebug.exe -file), but security settings were ok.
    Can someone help me somehow ?

    Willeeeee,
    If this is happening after doing what you have done I would try one thing first and then see about exchanging the card for another. Try following the suggestions in here as they can have an effect on the detection of the card.

  • Error: "Unable to find a working IR device" in Windows Vista 64-bit, Audigy 4

    I have Audigy 4 Pro with the RM-500 remote that came with it.
    The remote is not working in Vista 64-bit (Enterprise).
    It is definitely not a hardware problem because everything works in Windows XP Professional SP3. When I dual boot into Vista, the remote doesn't control anything in Windows but the red light on the I/O external box is blinking so it's definitely receiving input.
    When I run "Entertainment Center Settings", I get the error "Unable to find a working IR device" and all the options are greyed out.

    Has anyone gotten the remote working in Windows Vista 64-bit's? Thank you for your help.
    Regards,

    _ I am having this exact same issue on vista business 32 bit. Everything else on the external box works perfectly fine, except the remote. The remote does work however with intelliremote, but I cannot justify paying the money for such simple functionality. Any fix on [email protected]

  • Error with Sound Blaster Audigy 2 installation...driv

    Hi
    I am really stuck with this issue and was wondering if someone out there could help. I have an Audigy 2, and have had it working for a long period of time. I had to re install Windows not so long ago and since then I have found a number of errors with my sound.
    Firstly there are a lot of pops and clicks when either gaming or playing audio files. Admittedly the pops and clicks happen a lot more when gaming (multiple sounds playing at once ?).
    Therefore I decided to come onto creatives site and download the new drivers for my sound card. I was still running the original drivers from the CD supplied, so felt it was about time.
    I downloaded the file SBA2_PCWDRV_LB__84_55-R, which is the correct update for my card and tried to install it.
    It comes up with a message:
    Setup could not detect and Sound Blaster Audigy 2 on you system.
    Please ensure that your sound blaster hardware is properly installed before running this setup program.
    setup will not exit
    After that message i was a little confused, because as far as I was concerned everything was working ok, sound was coming out and was coming out correctly from my 5. surround system.
    So i double clicked on the Creative Volume Control to check everything was on.
    I'm not sure if this is an error but a long the top where you select the output device mine says:
    SB Audigy [A000]
    I'm not 00% sure but I don't think it said that before, I think it said something else, but I could be wrong.
    I decided to uninstall my sound card and re-install. Everything installed absolutely fine from the CD, recognised the card and no complaints.
    So I tried to re-install the driver update, and same message. (And the output device is still SB Audigy [A000].
    Again I uninstalled and tried the Beta patch on the off chance that that would work, still nothing, it does not recognise the card in my computer.
    I definately have an Audigy 2 and it has worked properly allowing me to update it before.
    Sorry to have such a long message, but I am really confused about all of this and would really like to get everything working properly.
    Any advice and help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    fedepolito,
    I assume that you are running WinXP with Service Pack 3. Did you do a clean sweep of all the Creative Software and reinstall from the A2ZS CD? Do you get sound then?
    Me disculpo que no entend?a que todo que usted dijo en su poste. Asumo que usted est? funcionando Windows XP con el Service Pack 3. ?Usted hizo un retiro del barrido limpio de todo el Creative software? (Busque los foros para el "clean sweep." ) ?Despu?s de eso, cuando usted reinstala del CD de Audigy 2 ZS, usted consigue el sonido?

  • Can not detect Sound Blaster Audigy 2 on this sys

    Im having trouble install drivers (apart from the old CD ones and some out of date ones) all the latest drivers or beta drivers say they cannot detect my card. I have an Sound Blaster Audigy 2 OEM which i bought nearly 2 years ago. I've tried swapping it to a different pci slot but makes no different Constant crashes when playing openal games. Even if i install the lates openal file. But i need to find out why i can't install the newest drivers and why they say i haven't got an audigy 2 when i have. In my device manger even says that its an "Creative SB Audigy 2 (WDM)" My system is as follows...
    Windows XP Proffesional SP2 32Bit
    P4 3.0ghz
    .25Gb DDR 400 Ram
    Geforce 6800 Ultra 256Mb
    Asustek P4P800-E Deluxe Motherboard
    Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 OEM
    PCTV Rave TV card
    Please some one help me, it will be greatly appreciated. If you need anymore info please let me know ( i may uninstall and remove the tv card just to get it off my list of perhaps the audio part of the tv card could be interfering ?)Message Edited by Alexia on -2-2005 :52 PM

    I am getting the exact same problem. Just downloaded the "Creative Sound Blaster Audigy unified series Beta driver with OpenAL support 2.08.0002" for my soundcard which is an Audigy 2 OEM (Model No. SB0240).
    I am using WIndows Media Center Edition 2005, but when I try to install the beta drivers, I get the following error message:
    "Setup is unable to detect a supported product on your system. Please ensure that your product is properly installed before running this setup program
    Setup will exit."
    My Device Manager shows Creative SB Audigy 2 (WDM) with driver version as follows:
    Driver Provider: Creative
    Driver Date: 23/06/2004
    Driver Version: 5.2..444
    I am currently hearing sound fine (so the soundcard is installed correctly), but the sound keeps cutting out from games that use OpenAL.
    Anyone else getting this problem? How did you fix it's

  • Setup could not detect any Sound Blaster Audigy card on your system

    Hi from Barcelona!
    I've a Soun Blaster Audigy card (Model: SB0090)
    I tried to install the Audigy software and drivers from the original product CD but Setup was unable to find Augigy hardware and halted the installation!
    "Setup could not detect any Sound Blaster card on your system. Please ensure that your Sound Blaster hardware is properly installed before running this Setup program"
    By the way. Manually the sound drivers can be installed working only front speakers of the 5. Creative system
    I tried a clean installation of Windows XP and Windows 2000 PRO (reformatted the hard dri've) but Audigy install CD still could not find Audigy hardware.
    I've changed the card to a different PCI slot with the same results!!! Damaged?
    What is happening? I need a solution!! Many users have this problem to with other Sound Blaster cards and models...

    ADSLNEW wrote:
    It seems to be an important BUG of Creative Sound Blaster Audigy cards related with EEPROM!!!
    Yes, indeed, that is my theory as well. After much ****hing and on-line research, it seems that this problem has been around since 2002. From Creative Labs point of view, it appears they view this as "pilot error" -- the user has installed the card in a system that is not fully compliant with the latest standards -- specifically Microsofts ACPI (configuration and power management). A wide variety of configurations and/or actions seem to cause the PCI subsystem ID in the Audigy EEPROM to be erroneously overwritten -- including certain older motherboards, certain older PCI cards, and perhaps other actions.
    Once the subsystem ID in the EEPROM is overwritten and has garbage information, many or all of the Creative applications cease working and various sound problems can arise. Attempts to reinstall the driver or update to the latest driver consistently fail becuase of the dreaded "Setup could not detect any Sound Blaster Audigy card in your system..." error message.
    There appear to be four fixes:
    ) Get a replacement Audigy card from Creative, but <EM>only</EM> after you perform their prescribed troubleshooting steps to prove that the card is indeed the source of the problem. Apparently, the steps include installing the card in another PC. Apparently, Creative in Europe is more willing to replace your card than Creative in the US. It's up to Creative Labs whether or not they issue you an RMA ("Return Material Authorization").
    However, this fix will fail if the root causes of the EEPROM error are not corrected. Apparently, Creative Tech Support isn't always a foolproof source of guidance, so the burden is on you. The root cause MUST be corrected before the new card is installed, or the same problem will happen all over again. Eliminating the root cause may involve replacing your motherboard, replacing other PCI cards, or manual configuration (disabling ACPI).
    2) Reprogramming the EEPROM. This is for advanced PC owners only, because it involves desoldering the EEPROM, programming it, and resoldering (and even lifting some pins to prevent reprogramming). There are instructions on how to do this posted in the German Creative Labs discussion board, by a Russian (!). I have links for those who are interested.
    3) Removing the Creative drivers and software (using Clean Sweep procedures and third party utilities), updating again using Windows XP SP2, then physically moving the card to different PCI slots (multiple times if necessary), until ACPI Bios writes the proper information into the EEPROM. You can then reload the drivers.
    Again, the root causes of the problem must be removed or your fix will only be temporary (a day or two). This solution also seems to be very dependent on the specifics of your system (motherboard, PCI cards, etc.).
    4) Some people have had success in by-passing the step in the driver installation process where they check for the Audigy card subsystem ID, using a utility called CTZAPxx on the installation CD. Then then manually install each of the applications they need to use.
    5) Use the open source driver from the kX Project (http://kxproject.lugosoft.com/index.php). This driver (and associated utilities) does not depend on the detailed configuration of the card (i.e. they don't check subsystem ID) and appear to work fine even with cards with corrupted EEPROM.
    This driver is aimed primarily at computer music applications, and opens up the on-card signal processing capabilities. The downside is that the Audigy 2 ZS does not have all of it's capabilities supported <EM>yet </EM>(e.g. Dolby Digital decoding, S/PIF passthrough, possibly some game sound features, THX, 24-bit recording, support for Hyperthreading CPUs, etc.). But scanning over the discussion boards, the user community seems to be MUCH happier with the performance and support associated with these drivers than with Creative's.
    This is the direction I'm going. I'm not a big gamer and I don't really care about the latest in home theater audio performance. Basic 5. surround sound is all I care about, and I'm much more interested in computer music capabilities.
    I have also lost faith in Creative Labs as a vendor to provide the support I want and need going forward. Just imagine if the Creative Labs were running the Space Shuttle program :smileysurprised:.

  • Set up from creative down load does not detect any sound blaster audigy mess

    I have a sound blaster audigy with no installation cd. I installed the card to download the drivers. The detection software on the site said there was no creative product installed.
    I downloaded the web update file and saved to my desk top. Ran the file after closinging all apps and got a message that there was no audigy detected. Reinstalled the card, same, did it again in another pci slot.
    Tried finding a driver in xp, found one for soundblaster. No sound at all with this xp driver. I do not have intergrated sound on the abit k7rsa board. How do you install the driver if the set up program stops you because it does not see the device, and with no install cd? Thanks for any help.
    Tony

    I have the same problem. About a year ago I threw out all my driver cd's because they were really piling up and i figured i'd never need them because I've been able to download all the driver's i've ever needed from company websites.
    NOT SO with Creative.
    I have the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum (the one with the ports for the front of the computer). I recently had to reinstall my OS. I got the soundcard to work, but all the optional components I had before (like the ability to use the remote control to control sound, and the EAX console etc) are gone. I tried to download these components from the website (it's really hard to tell which is which, so i downloaded them all). They will NOT install! I keep getting the error message "Setup did not detect required components, Setup will exit" on all the download software.
    This is extremely frustrating because I'm unable to setup the speakers properly (windows speaker settings don't really work).
    I did manage to do the automatic update thing, but it only updates the core drivers.
    PLEASE HELP!
    I paid $200 bucks for this card (granted, that was a couple years ago), so I should be able to at least download the same software that came with the product!
    Please have a professional (not an engineer without user interface experience) design the download area too...it is extremely difficult to understand what the individual components really do! At the very least, when you download them...they should work!
    Thanks.

  • Sound blaster Audigy LS, creative media center and creative playcenter wont install on

    Hello. I have a sound blaster Audigy LS card in my computer, it came as a bundle in my Sony Vaio that I bought in october of last year. I wanted to download the creative media center, or the creative playcenter. I went through the process of downloads and support and tried to run them on my computer it either says Setup is unable to detect supported product on your system. Click retry button to redirect your device and continue the installation. I've tried clicking retry and and the same message comes up. I have Screenblast Sound Forge . for VAIO and Screenblast ACID 4.0 for VAIO and wonder if thos two audio programs (came with the computer also) are in conflict with installing creative products? The operating system i am using is windows xp media center edition version 2002. Thanks in advance for anyone that can help me.

    Hi All,
    I am pretty much in the same boat but with an Audigy 2 Value Sound Card.
    Removed some old piece of rubbish card (6MB Aztech PCI 288 Q3D using a Trident 4DWave-NX Chip.... yes about 6 yrs old !) in my daughters pc and replaced it with the new one.
    Same error message i.e. hardware not detected... ihave already posted as im trying to find and install the right drivers. I have also tried the PCI-slot hopping etc etc.
    So what next people ?

  • Integrated Sound Blaster Audigy ADVANCED HD Help

    Hey guys, I was hoping maybe someone could help me... I have the Integrated Sound Blaster Audigy ADVANCED HD driver but its only for 32-bit operating systems. I am running windows 7 64 bit and I was wondering if there are any 64 bit drivers around since I couldn't find any on google. If not, are they planning to release one anytime soon? Thanks for the help.

    You know I did that and it worked. Thanks you.
    I should mention that when I contiued the activation it failed to load giving an error saying no audio driver. So, I went to the Dell website and downloaded the sigmatel audio file, re-installed and it worked. However the saga continues as it only sees 2. speakers when I have a 5 speaker system and i can't figure out how to change that settings. I followed the help instruction but under the confiuration I am not given any option. so still some work to be done. I would have expected the process to be simpler, you really would need to be quite skilled to be doing all this tweaking, if you were a novice you'd be lost!

  • Vista and Sound Blaster Audigy

    Okay I am getting desperate. I have been searching all over for this odd occurence but I havent found anything. I am running a dual core amd processor with Vista 64-bit, 4 GB RAM, and a Sound Blaster Audigy. I purchased this card off of ebay, so I dont exactly know the model (it is the one with a firewire ( ) port on the actual card, and a tan/white i/o box that goes in my cd dri've bay; the box just plainly says Soundblaster Audigy). Anyway, the card had been working great with the drivers at first, and I then had a kernal file fail on me. Well, after recovering successfully with the Windows disc, I came back to find out my drivers had messed up. I tried many combinations of uninstalls/reinstalls, different packages, etc and nothing seems to work. However, the odd part is that sound works within the windows environment (system sounds/clicks/etc), and also through the line in on the breakout box, AND in FLStudio/Reason/Windows Media Player. However, I am not able to get sound through flash movies, Winamp, PC Games, and media things of the sort. I was wondering if anyone else has had this odd occurence, and knew how to fix it. Thank you.
    PS
    The error I get on Winamp is Bad Directsound driver. Please install proper drivers or select another device in configuration. (I have also messed around with the Winamp output with no luck).

    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.

  • Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS - Driver is

    Hello,
    Recently my creative speaker settings and all my THX controls stopped working. I removed all my drivers, then reinstalled the following from the creative website.
    . Creative Sound Blaster Audigy, Audigy 2 series and Audigy 4 series Driver 02.08.0004
    This reinstalled the creative media center as well as the creative audio console, but it did not install the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS folder or application etc, which is what has all the Creative Speaker Settings and THX control and all the other creative options. I tried using the driver installation disc which came with the soundcard, but although it shows the creative settings/ THX control installed, whenever i try to open those applications, I get an error message saying that it cannot open that audio device, install audio drivers. I searched for the right drivers and even did the automatic updater, yet it did not work.
    So basically could anyone help me find the right driver to download so my creative speaker settings, THX console and all those other apllications will work?
    Thanks for your time.

    Even using just the CD drivers, shouldn't the applications still work?
    right now when I try to open creative speaker settings I get the error:
    The Audio device selected by this application is not detected. The application will exit.
    Does that mean anything?

  • Sound Blaster Audigy 2 not fo

    Hey all,
    I recently downloaded Creative Sound Blaster Audigy2 and Audigy2 ZS Driver Update .84.55, but when I try to install it I recieve an error message stating:
    "Setup could not detect any Sound Blaster Audigy 2 on your system.
    Please ensure that your Sound Blaster hardware is properly installed before running this setup program.
    Setup will now exit."
    In Device Manager, the device is referred to as a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 (WDM). It says the driver date is 0/2/2003 and the version is 5.2.5.44.
    I'm not really sure what the problem is, and I'm afraid that if I uninstall the current driver I won't be able to find one that works anymore and I'll be out of luck.
    Any help is appreciated,
    --Delph

    I find myself in the same boat!
    Let's just *think* about this one minute.
    If Windoze can "see" the card and install "generic" drivers for it AND it works, then the card, the installation, or anything else is not at fault (hardware wise).
    It simply becomes a "problem" with the crappy Creative install software.
    Oh, and don't believe that it makes one bit of difference OEM, or retail.
    I have:
    OEM and RETAIL Li've 5. cards doing the SAME thing (driver disks/driver downloads)
    OEM and RETAIL Audigy2 cards doing the SAME thing (driver disks/driver downloads)
    The ONLY thing in common is Windoze XP SP2 with all the patches, oh, and that damm clean boot nonsense makes no difference, other that wasting time.
    It ia absolutely clear to me why everybody is searching for an alternati've to this BS.
    Ok so here we are, the card detects, windoze installs a generic Audigy driver, and your audio works, but you have NO features you paid for.
    The Creative installer appears broken/incompatable.
    *the card MUST be detected by windoze, you MUST have a driver CD*
    If the two things above are true then:
    Insert your CD, it is going to launch the Creative BS, close it at the first opportunity.
    Start>My computer
    You can see the CD in your CD dri've (it's called "SB_Install", with a 'hokey' logo of an "A" in it)
    Right click on it, choosing "open" from the drop down box, now you have a listing of the stuff on the CD.
    The 'stuff' you (might) want is in the "audio" folder, open it.
    The folders revealed are fairly self explainatory, I myself would manually install the driver first through Start>control panel>Performance and maintence>System>Hardware device mgr.>Expanding my "sound video and game controllers" (by clicking on it), double click on "SB Audigy" choosing the driver tab and updating the driver from the CD (in the 'audio' under drivers that we explored earlier (you will have to manually steer the driver update to that location).
    Now with that done you can go back to your CD in the "audio" folder and add the features you want.
    Now, if you do not have a Creative Audigy install CD you are going to have to get one (you should have gotten one with your computer/Audigy card) try to beg, borrow, or steal one. If you strike out I will send you one (a copy) or make it availaible as a bittorrent.
    In fact, if you take the complete Beta driver download (SBA2-PCDrvBeta_LB_2_08_0002) and open it up with WinRAR you can get the most recent drivers there in a folder called, strangely enough, drivers, and install as above, again provided that Windoze 'sees' your Audigy (or Li've) card. BTW the newest drivers are dated: 29/08/2005
    If Windoze does not "see" your card NONE of this will apply to you, being another 'issue'. If you care to leave the specifics of THAT situation I will try to help, but you *must* remember, some stuff simply will not work with other stuff. Creative soundcards DO NOT LIKE IRQ sharing and DO NOT LIKE being placed in a VIA chipset board (pre 600 series).
    Take care ALL!Message Edited by mrfixitx00 on 0-07-2005 07:55 PM
