Sound card driver issu

I have above card & 5. dell surround sound speakers. Were working perfectly until i had a operating system crash about 2 months or so ago. Had to restore OS losing all my data & programmes. When restored noticed sound was bad, so installed the very latest drivers from creative. However my front left & front right speaker have no sound. They give that faint hiss sound when put to my ear so they should work. I have tried uninstalling that driver and trying others to no effect. I have reseated sound card, tried different drivers & nothing works at all(& yes i've checked the obvious). Heres a few things i've noted.. I can no longer use the creative volume panel on my taskbar. A strange white box appears with nothing in it. I have to use control panel in start menu-so i've lost the equaliser.2. The driver date when i access hardware manager is showing as August but it was recent i d/loaded that driver.3. After installing driver it defaults to 2. speaker setup.4. Earlier I enabled a sigma tel High def audio CODEC & the speakers worked(Fleft/Fright), but the other 3 do not work. I had disabled this about 3 week ago because i was trying to get a game to work. That was'nt the problem with the game & i forgot to reinstate it. I'm no expert but is that the onboard sound card? I don't need that enabled right?I really am clueless now. i have ran diagnostics on sound card & it says it works fine & the speakers definitely work ok, so i'm guessing it's a corrupt driver but am no expert. Have tried fdriver cleaner to, & i followed instructions to letter but this may have worsened it.

Forgot to add what card i use. It's a Sound Blaster X-fi Xtreme music card. Other specs if needed - 4.3 ghz pentium, 7600gt, 2gig system ram.

Sound card driver corrupted

I have a Pavilion dv 600 laptop. i reinstalled sound card driver as skype install removed or corrupted my working sound card driver. i uninstalled skype. i reinstalled the driver for audio that was originally installed. now, sound only comes from speakers when starting up windows but not for applications that provide sound like music or anything else. Is there something i need to do other than reinstall sound card driver?

How do you re-install a sound card driver? I need to do that for my computer too. I also lost the ability raise/ lower my volume. Thanks.
Hi Joyfule,
It would be better to start your own thread.
It isn't very nice to jump into someone else's issue when it isn't resolved yet.
When you start the thread don't forget to include the HP product name or product number and the installed operating system.

Sound card driver is not installed properly whatever I do

Hi
I have a new hp pavilion dv6-1215ee just bought it last week and it has a problem with its sound card driver :
I have 2 run the setup that installs the driver every once in a while if I don't then no voice comes of the speakers at all and when I run the media player it puts that red x sign on the voice file, say that there is a problem and gives a link 2 a troubleshooter on the net . Even if I reinstall the driver the next time I open the computer it is the same all over again .
so what do u think ?

Hi,
You are using now 6.10.6159.0 D (SP43935.exe) version? Right?
So uninstall Your audio drivers and try to install previous version 6.10.6087.60 C from here.

Now what should i do?
Where can i find the proper sound card driver fot my HP? Please help

Hello,
Since you downgrade your laptop to xp, drivers are not installed properly, if you check on our website and choosed xp for the operating system, driver are limited, I suggest to return computer to its original factory condition, might wanna consider ordering the recovery disc if you did not create one
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=4125779&lc=en&cc=ca&dlc=en&lc=en&lang=en...
Your sound driver is IDT high definition audio and not a Conexant, Using the driver for Conexant would not work
If problem is still there, pls inform me

Satellite 2800-400 sound card driver problem with XP-SP2

I have upgraded my Satellite 2800-400 to XP-SP2 and my sound card driver does aperently not work with SP2. I have downloaded the latest driver that I can find and that is 5.12.1.5245 from 2002, but this driver does not work together with the program Skype. I get a massage that the sound card driver does not suport SP2.
How can I solve this problem without deleting the SP2 upgrade.
Message was edited by: felixnorway

I have tried both drivers and the same problem ocurs.
After ecessive testing I have found out that everything/skype now works well for 1-2 hours. Then sudenly my compter does something (I do not now what, and I can not se that the computer does anything) and then sudenly Skype starts beeing blocked by SP2. At the same time (same minute) that Skype after 1-2 hours of perfec running sudenly is beeing blocked, my computer somehow have loaded a file named kernel32.dll for the second time. How i found out this is just a coinsidence, no errors indicates this file beeing involved and this is maybe normal. The file is located at C/Windows/system32/kernel32.dll. Do you know what my comuter does after this amount of time and why it loads this file for a second time. When I turn on my comuter the file is loaded and that is logical, but after 1-2 hours what is the logic for the computer to load it again. Is this something I can shutt off?
My computer runs perfect and smoth for 1-2 hours, then I beliwe the whole system32 is loaded again and this causes some kind of problen and makes the SP 2 kick in.
Any advice?

PowerBook G5 keeps loosing the sound card driver

My PowerBook G5 keeps loosing the sound card driver as the controls keep disappearing in system preferences. It seems boot related as once on ok, stays on till shut down or re-start

After multiple attempt at almost every firewire and peripheral configuration possible I think I've narrowed this down to the iSight in the 400Mb firewire port. No iSight no sound card problem. Still would like to use my iSight though, I have enough ornaments to celebrate the IT evolution

[Wine] Sound card selecting issues

Since a month or too, after one of my weekly updates, wine started to select the wrong sound card for its audio playback. Thus, alas, no sound in wine applications.
When selecting the audio tab in winecfg, I get the following console output:
fixme:mixer:ALSA_MixerInit No master control found on HDA NVidia, disabling mixer
fixme:jack:JACK_drvLoad error loading the jack library libjack.so.0, please install this library to use jack
I don't use jack, so that can be ignored. The HDA NVidia - the S/PDIF on my NVidia video card I presume, I don't use either. What I do use is my onboard sound chip in combination with alsa, which works perfectly on non-wine applications.
So, I got the following set up:
$ cat /proc/asound/modules
0 snd_hda_intel

Note that I already blacklisted snd_hda_codec_nvhdmi, which was in the above output before blacklisting.
Also note the weirdness of having two identical modules for card 0 and card 1. I guess the chip on the video card is Intel as well. I this possible?
Now the list of things I tried, all without a positive result.
First, I completely reconfigured my alsa set up.
Secondly, I blacklisted snd_hda_codec_nvhdmi in /etc/rc.conf
Thirdly, I used the info from http://wiki.winehq.org/UsefulRegistryKeys to force wine to use card0:
AutoScanCards=N
AutoScanDevices=N
DeviceCTL1=hw:0
DevicePCM1=hw:0
Fourthly, I edited .asoundrc to force alsa to use only card0:
# define soundcard to use, hw0:0
pcm.!default {
type hw
card SB
# device 0
# define control device to use, hw0:0
ctl.!default {
type hw
card SB
# device 0
Finally, I tried the above globally in /etc/asound.conf
I even waited two wine updates to see if that would fix it.
All above did not solve the sound issue and winecfg still gives the same error output as before.
Note that the sound works fine in everything, except in wine.
Anyone has any ideas or insight?

I think you should put the device also, as shown on your "aplay -l". Try and let me know (I will try asap).
Edit: Forget what I just said and just follow strictly the wine wiki page. In my case it was a problem when installing lib32-openal from the repos. It gave an error and did not install the first time, but I thought it was removed from the repos and wasn't needed anymore.

I accidentally uninstalled my sound card driver and cannot retrieve

I tried a system restore but it said a group of people is not allowing it. Anyway, that is beside the point. I lost the CD along with the box, but the sound card is still in my computer, how do I install a driver so I am capable of using the sound card again? Thanks.

creativeness,
Which sound card do you have? If you need to order a replacement CD you can check with the Direct Sales Department. Their phone number is -800-998-000 and it is option #. They are open from 9:00AM to 6:00PM (CST) Monday to Friday.
