Sound blaster Xtreme Audio not detected by system

I am running Windows xp? sp3. AMD Athlon 64 chip.
My System wont detect the sb card, and won't install any drivers.
Cant get the sb card configured at all.
HELP PLEASE

Is your source a DVD/ Blueray or Mp3 etc?
It depends on your source, if your source is Stereo sound, you will need CMSS 3D to be turned on to upmix the sound into 5. channel.
If your source is e.g a Blueray then it should be fine if you set your output settings under VLC or PowerDVD etc to play 5. sounds.
Which case/scenario are you facing?

Sound Blaster Live 24-bit PCI Sound Card and Creative Sound Blaster PCI Card not detect

Ok here is my problem. I bought a Creative Sound Blaster PCI sound card a while back and it was working fine but recently when I would boot up my computer and try to play music say off of Winamp it says Bad DirectSound Driver. When I check device manager it shows no sound card there and in sounds and audio devices it says no audio device. Now my brother believed this to be a card fault so we went to Frys and bought a Sound Blaster Li've 24-bit PCI card. I uninstalled the old drivers and installed this new one but yet it's the same problem. My assumption was that Windows XP had something conflicting so I reinstalled the OS. It found the card and I installed the latest drivers?off of this site but now it does the same thing yet again with a fresh install of Windows XP. The card has been in all 3 of my PCI slots and it will detect it for a moment but then acts like as if the card was never installed. Like I never installed a sound card into the computer. The onboard audio has been disabled for a while now but I do not know what the problem could be. I did Scan for hardware changes but it doesn't show up. Sometimes when the card is detected if I do scan for hardware changes and the card is there it will just magically disappear from the device manager as if it was never there. Even when I try to load music and I see the card is detected it will not play the music and ends up locking up Winamp to the point that sometimes will go BSOD. Now I would really like to find out what the issue is because I am planning this weekend to swap out my motherboard with a duplicate board to see if that will end up fixing the problem but I want to find out if there is any other way to fix this issue. Thank you.Message Edited by AuXoIs on 02-25-200808:28 PM

Hmm what other options is there for the bios on PCI slots?Also anything you connect to the motherboard can have oxidization (I think its that) build up on the connection. Check the connector on the card and get a eraser (Pen eraser is better) and give it a good cleaning. The connector might have alot of build-up on it and you can see it by a dark yellowy colour. I cleaned my graphics card and ram connectors after they got alot of the build-up on them. On a older computer my graphics stopped working and this fixed it. Also I went away for a while (like a month) and came back to see that my puter didn't display anything. Opened it up and saw that the graphic card had alot of corrosion? on the card connector and in the slot. Does that if you computer is turned of for a long time. Had a heck of time trying to clean the slot out. One other thing that it could be is the sound card is faulty. I had an audigy 2 and it died a while back . It picks it up and then try and use it computer freezes and the after restart it's not there anymore. Hope it's not that problem. Hope this gives you something to go by.

Sound Blaster Xtreme Audio PCI Express Quest

I assumed these were uni'versally compatible with PCs but when I opened my Dell tower it doesn't seem to fit in a slot. Can anyone think of anything I'm doing wrong? or are they not compatible with most PCs?Thanks for any help!

As the model name says; PCI Express -> you can connect this model into a PCI Express slot (x, x4 or x6 type slot). Remember always read the Requirements part too.
If your Motherboard doesn't have one then your card has more use in your bookshelf.

Maybe you really should take a vallium or something and re-read what I posted, then you may just grasp the fact that that is the exact driver I told you you needed.

Epson scanner perfection 1670 is not detected on system preference pane

It use to work but now it only produces blank grey scans.
I have deinstalled and reinstalled new driver from Epson support site.
I have also tried cleaning the USB connection with no results.
I have noticed that when I tried connecting to the internet from the the scanner Help menu it tells me I am not connected (while I am) and I noticed also that the scanner is not detected on system preference pane.

You can open System Profiler and under the Hardware heading you will see the USB entry. The printer should be listed under one of the USB busses. If you don't see it then the USB cable could be faulty or the printer itself could be cactus. So try another USB cable and in another port on the Mac. If the new cable and socket fails to make the printer appear in the USB view then the printer is the problem.
If the printer is visible under one of the USB busses then this would indicate that the printer and the USB cable is okay. In this case the printer should be capable of being added in Print & Fax. But if you select to add the printer and it does not appear in the Default view of the Add Printer pane then try a reset of the printing system, as described next.
1. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax
2. Move your mouse over the Printers list
3. Hold down the Control button and click the mouse
4. Click the "Reset printing system ..." popup
5. Restart your Mac

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

Sound Blaster EVO Zx - Not recharging

When I bought my Sound Blaster Zx it starting to produce a loud whine in the audio while it was charging. Once charged the whine went away and I just made sure to keep it topped off.
Well recently the whine has been constant ... when I checked the application it showed the battery completely dead and charging. I turned off the headset an allowed it to charge (blinking red LED as normal) for 10 hours. When I plugged it back in to the PC it showed completely dead still and it started whining again.
I have only had this headset for a couple of months. I have made sure it is the latest firmware and application.

Sound Blaster Audigy Gamer not being recogni

Hi, I own the Sound Blaster Audigy Gamer. It had been working fine before I needed to update the drivers. When I tried to update the drivers it said that no Audigy Card was being detected and that the Setup would close. The first person at Creative I called told me that all I needed to do was to move the sound card to a different slot. I did, but the problem still occured. The second person told me to do a clean-sweep of the card, as persay of SID72, a KB article. I did that, but also it had the same problem. The third time I called he told me that I should try it in another computer, and I do not have any at the moment. What am I to do? I have checked the IRQ, it has IRQ#5 all to itself. I will try to move the PCI slot again though. Windows asks me every time I boot that I need to install the drivers. Should I do that?
-Thanks
Ibrahim

Having trouble with my Sound Card (Sound Blaster Xtreme).

Hey everyone..
I just recently got a new PC -- and I can't for the love me get the sound card to produce sound. I know it works (I tried in Windows), but I can't seem to get it working correctly in linux.
It is, as reported in KDE..a "Creative Labs [SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio] CA0110-IBG" . I've found some info on the net about it..but it all seems very out-dated..linking often to links that no longer exist. Could anyone possibly help me get this working?
Thanks!
Joe.

The chip/card is probably not supported by ALSA. Have you tried the OSS driver http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OSS yet?

X-FI Xtreme Music not detected by Win

My Creative X-FI Xtreme Music is not detected by Windows XP with SP2.
what I have tried:
) connected the X-FI to each of the 3 PCI slots
2) installed latest nForce and VGA drivers
3) installed latest BIOS (version 04)
4) uncompressed the SB driver exe file and executed SBXF_PCDRV_LB_2_09_000\Src\Drivers\setup.exe directly
The soundcard works fine on a PC with an old ASUS A7V-266 motherboard! Why is that?
system specs:
ASUS A8N-SLI
athlon 64 3000+
evga 7600GT
RAM 52 MB

I had a similar problem that my ASUS A8N-VM CSM board didn't detect my X-FI card properly and the driver setup ended with a blue screen / reboot of my machine.
A lot of boards with NVidia chipsets of the 4series seems to have that problem.
With my ASUS A8N-VM CSM I found a solution: updated BIOS to beta version 002 and disabled the onboard IEEE394 (firewire) interface in the BIOS setup. After that I installed the X-FI without any further problems and it's now running very well.

Canon MP560 Printer is not detected by System Preferences

Hi everyone,
I am using a 2010 Macbook Pro with OS X Version 10.7.5, I have had this Canon MP560 Printer for about 2 years now and it has been working perfectly until lately when it starts to keep on returning "a communication error has occured" whenever I tried to print something.
I have read through the forum and noticed that people have experienced the same thing as me.
So for me, I have tried the following solutions:
1. Checking if the LAN connection is working and printing the LAN test page from printer. It does print ad says that wireless LAN is enabled an active.
2. I deleted the printer and scanner from System Preferences and try to re-add it
3. Update my software
When I tried to re-add it, there is no printer detected. I tried doing the step-by-step that PAHU recommended that worked for some one but unfortunately it does not work for me. My printer still does not appear when I tried to look up a printer.
(Here is the step by step that I followed:
The printer component of the MP560 can take longer to appear than the scanner component. The scanner uses Bonjour to advertise itself on the wireless network, while the printer component uses a proprietary protocol called "canonijnetwork". If you select to add a printer and have the Default Add Printer view open, you will see the MP560 as Bonjour Scanner in the Kind column. But if you wait at least 15 seconds more, the printer should appear showing "canonijnetwork" in the Kind column.
If this printer component does not appear after 30 seconds maximum then it would suggest a problem with the printer driver installation. So open Finder and navigate to HD > Library > Printers > Canon > BJPrinter and trash the contents of this folder. Then download the latest MP560 driver via this link and run the installer. With the installation completed, try to add the printer again.)
Since I have tried these suggestions but still is not successful I wonder what's wrong with my Printer/Macbook and if there's any other way to add printer (using IP address for example ). If anyone could help me, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks!

Yes I can Ping the IP address from Network Utility.
Before, my Macbook couldn't even recognize the scanner, but now I can add the Scanner from System Preferences.
However, my printer is stll not detected. I am missing some sort of an application or something?

Front audio not detected

Hi, I have a msi p35 neo 2 for quite some time now but didn't had the opportunity to use the front panel from my chieftec chase.Today I've tried the front panel but for my surprise alc888 didn't detected nor my headphone or the mic.If I disable front audio jack detection the mic and the headphones work but it doesn't switch off the back audio when I insert the headphones.
How could I solve this issue?
BTW I'm on windows 7rc x64 bit.

Not sure if the drivers are any compatible to Win 7 RC yet.

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?
