Sound Blaster Extigy Unable To Install/Use AG

Hello,
I've been using the Extigy for a while now and it's been working ok to fine.
This is the second soundcard for my computer, the one before was a Santa Cruz Turtlebeach.
When I installed the Extigy I didn't uninstall the Santa Cruz drivers because... well I don't know why, but I thought it couldn't hurt.
And also I DID remove the internal Santa Cruz soundcard, and ofcourse connected the external USB Extigy.
So today I DID uninstall the Santa Cruz drivers because I needed a bit of space on my disk.
And when I tried to play sound, I found out the Extigy didn't work anymore.
Also I saw in options of any programme like for instance Windows Media Player, that the card wasn't shows there anymore.
So ofcourse I tried to uninstall and reinstall the drivers of the Extigy again but here's the problem I think:
When I removed the drivers, restarted the computer, and connect the USB-cable to the Extigy so it will say something like "new hardware found", then it will give a small screen about "rundll32.exe" to send report or not send report... you know...
So that's all I can say about it and I can't get my Extigy to work anymore since the Santa Cruz drivers are gone.
Which is weird, like this card would be depending on drivers of another card, it's stoopid!
So does anyone know about this "rundll32.exe" crap and all, I hate that all this computer stuff doesn't work while I paid for it!!!

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.

Intel HD Audio vs Sound Blaster Extigy

I am wondering what is a better soundcard.
The built in Intel HD Audio soundcard or the Sound Blaster Extigy USB?
I am outputting to a Logitec Z5400 via the optical output of the extigy and the input of the Z5400.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I have to agree but I doubt most people notice. Not a lot a audiophiles anymore. Intel HD specs are typical of a low costs digital to analog converter. You won't find many laptops that spend a lot on sound quality. Although their are a couple PC's that have certified sound with better sound cards. I would think your Macbook like mine has a optical digital connection through the audio jack. If you really want better D/A conversion you could buy a external D/A converter and connect through the optical output. Personally I use a pair of SkullCandy Hesh 2's and find the sound very good. I certainly have heard worse. At least S/N ratio is pretty good. Some laptops I have had in the past really had some nasty background hiss.

Sound Blaster card won't install driv

I bought an old sound blaster li've! 5. sound card about 4 years ago and used it on my old system. Everything worked great and continued to work great till the very end. Just last week, I built a new system and I wanted to use my old li've! 5. sc, but my new computer is having a lot difficulties making it work.
When I first tried using the old installation CD that originally came with it, it just stops installing at 2%. So I Control+Alt+delete to close the installation process, but it already created a folder on my start menu with some incomplete programs.
Then I decided to install the drivers via downloading them. Unfortunately, that didn't work because my computer says it doesn't detect a sound card.
I tried moving it onto a different PCI slot, and when windows booted up, the "found new hardware" window popped up and I think I was able to install the driver from the CD. I was able to hear sound from the speakers, but only from the front 2.
Even though there was sound, my computer still can't recognize my sound card. When I tried again to install the mixer and other programs, it still freezes at 2%. When I go to the 'sound and audio devices' menu, I see that it's using Emu0Kx Audio [D000] to play the sound.
What's the reason why I can't install anything and why my computer refuses to recognize my sound card? If possible, I'd very much like to salvage what's left of this card.
Thanks.

Hi Herb,I am having the same problem as you . I am unabe to use the headphone jacks in the front of the dri've. The card doesn't recognize it. Have you found anything that can solve htis yet.sam2:smileysurprised:

Sounds like your data crashing out palm desktop.
It's either your calendar or contacts causing the issue.
Steps to fix
1. Navigate to C:/program files/palm/Hotsync ID
2. In that folder locate another folder called datebook
3. Remove datebook.dat file from there and place on desktop
4. Go to folder called Address
5. Remove address.dat file from there and place on desktop
6. Attempt to open palm desktop
IF it opens continue
7. Go to tools/options and change the start up application from datebook to memos
8. Navigate to C:/program files/palm/Hotsync ID
9. In that folder locate another folder called datebook
10. Grab the datebook.dat file off of the desktop and place in the folder
11. Choose to overwrite the file
12. Go to folder called Address
13. Grab the address.dat file off of the desktop and place in the folder
14. Choose to overwrite the file
15. Relaunch palm desktop
16. Go to tools/options/tools
17. Select fix corrupted records.
18. Close palm desktop re open
Everything should work fine. If you want you can then change the start up application back to datebook.

Sound Blaster SE, driver not install

Hi, I just went out and bought Sound Blaster SE and installed it on my computer. But, no sound... so I uninstalled it fully and came here and downloaded the newest driver, I installed it and still.. no sound. So I came here and followed all of the guides and STILL NO SOUND! So I went into DxDiag and checked DirectSound and this is what is shows:
[img"]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y278/Jamlpr/DxDiag.png[/img]
After running the test directsound button I get this:
[img"]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y278/Jamlpr/DxDiag2.png[/img]
Note the (No Driver).. odd seeing how it says 3 inches above this that I do infact have a driver installed..
I have onboard sound disabled and I have pcspeaker disabled. I'm running Windows XP Professional. The "no WHQL" wasn't there when I installed the driver via CD, but I still had the same (No Driver) issue.. so I don't think it is that.
If I can recieve ANY help, It will be much appreciated. I would just like to have working sound!

Sorry to double post, but I have heard that reinstalling Xp Pro will fix this problem, but I do not have the CDs anymore.. and I can't shell out the money to buy it again (that's why I got SE, it's cheap). Is there any other fix?

Sound Blaster Extigy and MacM

OK, got the new Mac, plugged in the Extigy and the line in and line out connectors are working. Encouraged by this fact I tried do use the MIDI ports, but they are not available this easy.
Do you have an idea how to enable the MIDI interface?

Maybe Asio4All (free) or USB-ASIO (commercial) for to get low latency.

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.

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).

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...

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 only 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 yet (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:.

Setup could not detect any Sound Blaster Audigy 2 on your Sys

Here's the deal. I have used my Soundblaster Audigy 2 Platinum without incedent for a long time with the following box:
Asus A7V333
XP 800
.5 GB DDR 2700
I changed cases, but all of the components remained the same. Everything else went like clockwork, but no Audigy.
So I did a clean and replace of the drivers, however, I had no Audigy CD. I ordered the CD from Creative, but it looks to be a CD for the Audigy 2 XS...will this work for the Audigy 2 Platinum?
So when I go to run the CD, I get the following error:
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 now exit.
I didn't change slots and the IRQ is still the same.
I can provide any additional documentation, i.e. screen shots of device manager, et al. to anyone interested in helping.
Also, if you li've in Chicago, I will get you drunk.
I am so irritated with this thing... I remember it being a pain in the @$$ to install the first time, but not like this.
Cheers,
-rob

Okay I ended up fixing this problem myself seeing as a lot of these forum topics just come to a dead end with no real resolution.
Let's get 'Creative' ...
I removed the reg entry hkey_local_machine/software/creative tech, removed all drivers, programs, and anything that even smelt faintly of creative.
Just to make sure I ran the CTZAPXX.exe on the cd and removed drivers again there also.
Then upon a swift reboot I used CTZAPXX.exe to install the drivers, ran the cd, unchecking the option at the bottom of the 'custom' install list to install windows drivers (as it had already been done)
Now I'm back in business
Though, all through the ages I've never had a creative soundcard, which hasn't given me trouble at some stage, man I even have shameful memories of my AWE64... Lift your game creative, you've got a great product line, just a pity the shoddy drivers sometimes let them down.
This post may be a little outdated, but it's really intended for all you googlers out there I really hope this fixes your problem!
