Soundblaster Audigy 4 Installation disk is currupted..

Hi ..Can anybody please advise what I can Do... I purchased a used Soundblaster Audigy 4...3 weeks ago .. I have just tryed to install it but the Installation Disk is currupted.. I have tryed it on two different computers and tryed to copy files using special ISO programs but no go? I have downloaded the latest drivers from the Creative site and I also have a Audigy 2 Platinum Pro.... Its disk is perfectly alright .... If I cannot get a Audigy 4 ISO could I install the programs from the Audigy 2 disk then overwrite the drivers.... Thanks for your anticipated help...HK

:You can get most of the apps as well as the drivers from the Audigy 4 download page, but if you need the disk for somethings that are only available on it,

Creative SoundBlaster Audigy Advanced MB software activation probl

Hello!?I bought?a software named Creative SoundBlaster Audigy Advanced MB, when I ordered my notebook Inspiron 720 from DELL, on the 8th? of September, 2007. They provided a CD for the software, which I installed, and it worked. But then later that day (when I recieved the laptop), I formatted the hard-disk for the following reasons - ) It only had 2 partitions for the entire dri've, one of which was a recovery partition, and I wanted to create more.2) I wanted to remove MediaDirect.3) I wanted to remove bloatware that DELL gave me with it, ie, DELL Quickset, DELL Support, DELL this, DELL that, Norton AntiVirus etc.4) I wanted Vista installed by my way. After I had done everything I wanted, I started to re-install the Creative software, the same way like I did before. But this time, when it took me to the transaction page and asked me for the reason of re-installing this software, it said "The CD Key has expired."?I have tried 2 different browsers,?I have cleared my cache, I have penta-checked my CD-Key before each install and have done anything a Computer Software engineer (me) would do, with the help of the Internet as well. But my every effort went in vain. Then, I did something I didn't want to do, I contact DELL technical support. Their solutions ranged from installing the latest drivers (yes, drivers for a software), to removing and re-installing the latest Internet Explorer (yes, they asked me to REMOVE IE) to put the HARDWARE in some other machine. Quite clearly, the 4 support executi'ves I talked to there at DELL had no clue as to what is going on and what is the problem. Then, after a 2 hours chat with another one of them, I was told that they just provide the software, and it is Creative's duty to handle everything later and asked me to talk to you. The email support page do not have the option of support for this software, so I selected some other product but sent my problem.
It would be very nice to know if there exists a solution to this problem, and how should I approach it. It has only been 20 days since I bought this software. Thank you!

Finally, I got a reply from the email team, and they sought some further information, which I duly provided. Then, they provided me with a new CD Key. But here is the thing, they say after 3 times of re-installing the software, I will have to pay for it. What?Why would I pay for something which I bought, again and again? The whole world knows about Windows Vista, how incompatible it is with more than 80% of the software, and it will be the same till SP is released. I have since this Sunday gone have re-installed vista 4 times, once due to the fact that AHCI in the BIOS was not enabled by default, and I had to re-do the installation, then it was SATA drivers not presentonthe Vists disk, then the nVidia drivers had problem with Vista and it crippled it and won't go and then the Windows Media Player , quite clearly still not fully functionable, made my system bust. And I can say that it will happen again, so why do I have to pay some part of the software's price again? I am not using it on any other machine, and that is checked by it's CRC checker anyways, I am not using it for any business project, which shouldn't be a problem even if I did, as I own it. If any of you guys have an answer to this, please let me know.
Thank you, and have a very nice day all!

How to install The Soundblaster Audigy SE in Windows 7 RC?

:How to install The Soundblaster Audigy SE in Windows 7 RC?Y Two days ago I bought a Soundblaster Audigy SE-retail soundcard. I have a dual boot PC with Windows XP-SP3 and Windows 7 RC. The installation of the soundcard?in Windows XP was easy, no problems, good sound.
But how to install in Windows 7 RC ?
I have the installation and applications CD with XP and Vista drivers and I have the driver-download from Creative.com SB24PCDRV LB 0 - 04 - 0090.
Windows 7 tells me "No device for audio output is installed". Windows automaticly?installed a driver, but that doesn't work. (code 39). The driver download from?creative does not install new drivers and when I try it manually Windows tells me "The best driver is already installed"
When I uninstall?the driver that Windows installed and try to install the downloaded?creative driver for Windows 7, the driver will not install, and Windows message is something like "?no audio device is installed on this computer"
What to do ? A computer without sound is nothing...
Thanks,
Arie

>Re: How to install The Soundblaster Audigy SE in Windows 7 RC?% Meocene is 00% on the money. Dan K.'s pack is the best. I have used the pack on four different systems with AUDIGY LS and SE cards that I bought cheaply (all four on Ebay for $40). The package has worked under XP, Vista, and Windows 7 very well.
I have friends that play Left4Dead and they have been immensely pleased when playing the games in their flats with or without headphones, as compared to their old "onboard RE--t-k" sound.
The package also works well on a Gateway or HP machine when disabling onboard audio first then installing the Audigy and installing drivers and apps for the first time. Gi've up on using your old CDs, you will only run into a mountain of trouble trying to "Auto-Update" all that with the newest patches.

Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS - static no

Hi,
I have a Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS soundcard in my Dell Dimension 4700 computer. Recently I started getting a lot of static - like rice crispies crackling.
It would go away sometimes after powering down, but come back after a few hours. After reading some of the posts here I tried moving the card further away from the video card. This seems to allow me to run longer without the static - a few days was my last try. But the static did come back and I had to power down to get rid of it. Now I am static free for several hours, but I think it will be back. I can't move the card any further away now - it is in the last slot. I'd appreciate any feedback on ways to fix my problem and what exactly my problem is. I don't really understand what is causing the static. Thanks in advance,Steve

I have the same card -- and the same problem -- in my Dell XPS Gen 3 system.
Two weeks ago, I started getting constant static though my speakers. I didn't know what the source of the problem was and, since I have a year left on my warranty, I called Dell tech support. I subsequently embarked on a two-week troubleshooting nightmare which involved all sorts of fun stuff including:
A system restore (rolling everything back to factory settings and having to reinstall everything)which did not solve the problem
Determination that I had faulty speakers (which turned out not to be the case after the speakers were replace with brand new ones)
Complete reformatting of my hard dri've and a full reinstall of the operating system (Windows XP Professional (turns out the XP professional disk I got with my computer actually contained XP Home, so I am looking forward to another round of reinstalling the OS once Dell ships me the proper software). The reinstall did not solve the problem.
The Dell people finally had me relocate my computer and 6-piece speaker system to another room (to see if an electrical source was causing the static). Static was still there.
They finally determined that the problem was in the Creative sound card, even though their diagnostics gave it a clean bill of health. My guess is that one of the input jacks developed a bad connection with the card after 2 years of use.
I have not yet received the replacement sound card. I'm crossing my fingers that when the new one arri'ves, the static problem will disappear.
So if you work through Dell tech support, do yourself a favor and cite my problem. It may save you hours and hours and hours of frustrating troubleshooting.
To be fair, I have to say that the various Dell tech reps I worked with were very thorough, polite, and accommodating. They did things by the book, which is really the only way to approach a mystery problem like the one I'm having.
The downside is, during the past two weeks, I've spent more time trying to get my computer back in shape than I've spent working (I'm self-employed). But it was also a learning experience and I now know a lot more about computers than I did before.
I hope you get your sound card problem solved quickly with less pain and suffering than I went though.

SoundBlaster Audigy Probl

Ok I've been having a LOT of problems lately with my SoundBlaster Audigy. Recently I decided to take out one of my two hard dri'ves and once I installed windows to my other hard dri've my sound card started acting funny. Sometimes it works, most of the time it doesn't. When I try using the install file for the card it says "No Soundblaster detected."? When I check my Device Manager I see this:??Other Devices
?Multimedia Audio Controller?and for some reason I see this as well:?Network Adapter
?!394 Net Adapter?It only shows the network adapter when the sound card is in the PCI slot. When I do a properties on the Sound card I see this:?The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)To reinstall the drivers for this device, click Reinstall Driver.

I have used the updated install file as well as the v.0. I am not understanding this at all. No matter what I do the soundcard doesn't show up as a SoundBlaster. But I have sound, not as the correct soundcard, but I do have sound. When I did get it to work and show up as a SoundBlaster Audigy, it works for maybe a few hours then I get a horrible screeching sound from my speakers then my computer freezes up. I restart the computer and my Soundcard is gone again.
Does anyone have any ideas what I can do to fix it or can I? Is my soundcard going bad? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Wrothgar,
Try following these uninstallation steps from this Knowledgebase article SID72. After you have finish uninstalling and removing all the files as instructed from the guide, do not reboot but shutdown the computer and remove the soundcard from the computer instead. Next, power on the computer without the soundcard and then let Windows finish its startup before shutting it down again. Slot the soundcard back into the computer and proceed with the re-installation from the CD.

As it's an OEM product you have there, you probably need to modify the installer meant for original CT products. I have posted some instructions long ago so if you search here by using "ctcomp.exe" as a searching criteria you might find that thread. You also need drivers from older installer since CT made some changes to the installer so that the old ctcomp won't work with the latest driver installation. IIRC, there were a fix-up for this too available but I'm not sure where it was introduced ... was it @ DHF (link given below)?
You can download the CD as an ISO image from BadBoys site (http://badboy.filefront.com/).
IIRC, there were some other instructions for this @ Driver Heaven Forums and also you might already heard of YouPAX driver mod ... which can be found @ Driver Heaven too.

SoundBlaster Audigy ZS Pro ASIO DRIVER Questions w/ Cubase


I am using Cubase SX 2.2 and the SoundBlaster Audigy ZS Pro. I need to gain a better understanding of the differences between the three Creative ASIO drivers that Cubase SX 2.2 recognizes. They are as follows:

Creative ASIO - [Cubase sets default sample rate at 48KHz ]</LI>
SB Audigy 2 ZS ASIO 24/96 (B800) [ Cubase sets default sample rate at 96KHz]</LI>
SB Audigy 2 ZS ASIO [Cubase sets default sample rate at 48KHz ]</LI>
I can understand that the 24/96 ASIO driver supports 24 [email]bit@96KHz]bit@96KHz[/url] recording. I am not sure what the differences are between Creative ASIO & SB Audigy 2 ZS ASIO. I have read other related post on this subject and it was stated that the Creative ASIO is the older 6 bit ASIO driver, but I noticed something interesting in relation to the input devices that Cubase SX 2.2 sees between the three are quite different, but it's opposite of what you might imagine.
Here are the details:
For Both Creative ASIO & SB Audigy 2 ZS ASIO, Cubase SX2.2 lists the following inputs:
Line in / MIC L & R, Line in 2 L & R, Line in 3 L & R, SPDIF IN L & R
and then the strange...MIX L & R, MIX FL & FR, MIX RL & RR, MIX FC, MIX LFE (?), MIX RC ( twice), MIX SL & SR
No OPTICAL?
For the SB Audigy 2 ZS ASIO 24/96, Cubase SX2.2 lists the following inputs:
Line in / MIC L & R, Line in 2 L & R, Line in 3 L & R
No SPDIF or OPTICAL?
I assume the MIX inputs are for the Dolby Digital Bus Mixers in Cubase to be able to send outputs directly to the Surround Channels?
I set the Latency all the way down to 2ms for each driver. Currently I am achieving a Input of 3.042ms & Output of 2.00ms w/ the 24/96KHz & w/ the other two I am achieving a Input of 4.083ms & Output of 2.00ms. Not sure why the difference?
I'd really like to gain an understanding or be directed to some documentation (Audigy Manuals lack in this detail) to help explain these differences and understand why the 24/96 driver wouldn't list the same inputs if it's the same card. Is this just a bug? Any updates to fix?
 Sorry for the long post, but I felt if I should this detail I may get some good insight to from yall experts out there.
ANY Help will be greatly appreciated!!

THX,
KeyMix

Soundblaster Audigy - guitar connection probl

I bought the Soundblaster Audigy soundcard w. front-deck and so on from a friend.
The sound out works just fine, but it does not register the sound in when i plug in the guitarjack. I have tried many things, like checking that something's not muted and so on... but nothing works.
Could really use some help, it's getting frustrating...

SoundBlaster Audigy 2 Platinum Softw

Hey,
I just reinstalled my OS (WinXP SP2) and need to install the drivers & software for my SoundBlaster Audigy 2 Platinum card. I no longer have the cd and the drivers & software on Creatives' site is only upgrades... Anyone have an idea how I can go about installing the drivers and software without the CD?
Thx!

A couple of things.
There are websites out there with full drivers for hardware out there. Usually, they take the installer off of the manufacturer's website (with consent) and post it on theirs. If the manufacturer decides to discontinue download services for their drivers, these websites will still have the drivers on there. Do a Google search and find out. MAKE SURE, however, that you download Creative-signed drivers (otherwise, they're bootleg).
Or, you can go to a local hardware store (where you got the sound card) and ask them to tear open a box for you and install the software. If the store is like a Best Buy or Circuit City, they may have a copy of the driver sitting behind the desk at their customer support/computer service area. They will install it for you, but they may charge.
One final thing, check the Creative website again. They may actually have the driver on there, I tend not to look hard enough the first time, so I always double-check.

Audio Trouble: SoundBlaster Audigy with ABIT AS8 motherboa

Having trouble getting audio to work on my new ABIT AS8 motherboard. No mixer device detected. No audio devices detected.Creative SoundBllaster Audigy Card and Software/drivers are installed.Have uninstalled ABIT's Realtech '97, etc. hardware from system, but still no sound. When uninstalled, message appears saying 3D.dll program from ABIT uGuru audio driver is needed. Have uninstalled and re-installed SoundBlaster Audigy software/drivers, but still no go. Get message saying detects previous sound driver which can interfere with audio function during installation, even when ABIT Realtech '97 audio software/drivers are supposedly uninstalled. No other sound drivers or software is on my system.Seems that Multimedia Audio driver has to be the uGuru, AS8 audio driver!
Want to use my SounBlaster software on my system...Any help will be much appreciated!

Thanks for the reply.
I've got everything working after an MS service pack 2 update.
Still have a question mark by multimedia device controller in the device manager, though...
Do I still need to disable the on board sound divice in the system bios?
Will this help out with the multimedia device controller issue?
thanks a bunch!!

Logic 5.5 and Soundblaster Audigy 2 NX

Hi,
Apologies if I ask some realy dumb questions, but I'm a complete novice in terms of this sort of thing.
I have Logic 5.5 for my PC and have bought the Soundblaster Audigy 2 NX to use with the program so that I can record guitars, bass, and vocals for my band. I have gone through the process of installation via the CD supplied with the sound card, but Logic will not allow me to do any recording. I am reliably informed that this is to do with the fact that I don't have any ASIO drivers (not really sure what that means though!).
Is there somewhere that I can download (preferably for free!) the necessary drivers to make the program work, or is the product unlikely to work at all?
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers,
