SoundBlaster Live 5.1 Driver prob

I have a Creative SB 5..Until I reinstall Windows XP, it was working well.But after XP reinstallation it is not working now. I am installing its driver by its original CD.it seems to be installed but when i open device manageri see that Creative Emu0K Audio Device is not installed.this time i tried to install from here i mean from the device manager window.it seems it is copying drivers ,but after some seconds?it is giving a message as ,?the installation is not succesful,some files may be missing....etc etc..i dont understand why.and so in the control panel there is no sound devices seen. what must i do?

tubakumbara,
Have you tried a cleansweep? (You might also want to try removing the card after uninstalling and booting without it before reinstalling.)

  • Soundblaster Live 24bit analog mic prob

    Hi all,
    Just picked up an analog mic ,plugged it in to the correct port, last one on the right and no sound. Tested the mic on my laptop and it worked fine. Am I missing something here. Should be simple. Not a new install on the Soundblaster Li've 24bit , everything is working fine. Thanks Steve

    Before that. Are other sounds being output correctly example playing back MP3 etc... Also check your Control Panel - Sound & Audio device. Ensure that the playback and voice are having the corrected sound card selected.

  • ALsa + Soundblaster Live 5.1 + 5.1 Sound

    HI there!
    I finally bought a 5.1 Surround System today, but I have a major problem. Only the Subwoofer, Fron-Left- and Front-Right-Speakers are working, no Sound from Center, Surround-Left- and Surround-Right-Speakers
    Here is my modules.conf, Alsa-Page says it should work:
    # module : ALSA
    alias char-major-116 snd
    alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1 snd_cards_limit=1
    options snd-emu10k1 snd_index=0 snd_id="EMU10K1" snd_extout=0x1f0f
    # OSS/Free portion
    alias char-major-14 soundcore
    alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
    alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
    alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
    alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
    alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
    alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
    options snd-pcm-oss snd_dsp_map=0 snd_adsp_map=3
    alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss
    alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss
    alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss
    And now my .asounrc
    pcm.emu10k1 {
    type hw
    card 0
    ctl.emu10k1 {
    type hw
    card 0
    I tried so much already and nothing works
    I played around with alsamixer and I finally got the Center-Speaker to work, but it just works instead of the Front-Left-Speaker. It really sucks.
    Maybe you can help me, it would be nice.

    i had some same issues , but i have soundblaster live 24-bit , but disabling the onboard bios didnt do anything for me , so i had to look for some ways to figure out how to fix this , * love thy google.com/linux *
    bash# speaker-test -c6 -t2 ( this is to test your surround speakers , providing your using ca0106 driver such as myself )
    if you only get a few channels you could also make your ~/.asoundrc file with some goodies in it  ill post a few examples i have found
    pcm.ca0106 {
    type hw
    card 0
    ctl.ca0106 {
    type hw
    card 0
    ctl.!default {

    slave.channels 6
    route_policy duplicate
    pcm.dmixs51 {
      type dmix
      ipc_key 1024
      slave {
        pcm "hw:0,1"

    pcm.duplicate {
      type plug
      slave.pcm "dmixs51"
      slave.channels 6
      route_policy duplicate
    Now dont forget to run alsaconf before you do this and make sure you have 5.1 surround speakers for this as well
    any other questions about the soundblaster live 24-bit , contact me and ill try to help if i can , ( i have been reading about this for days  )

  • SoundBlaster Live! 24 and Vista - Deteriorating Sound Qual

    I've recently upgraded to Vista Business, and my system informs me that except for the drivers for an ancient scanner all is working properly.
    When playing music (using a Creative SB Li've 24bit card with the most recent driver installed), all starts off well (in fact playback is better than under XP Pro) but the sound quality starts to deteriorate badly, especially when I open a browser. Quite often the browser itself seems to freeze.
    I have 3Gb RAM, with a 3.60Ghz P4 processor.
    Task Manager tells me that often I am running at 00% of CPU capacity, though the problem seems to occur at lower usage too.
    I've checked everything I know to check but just can't seem to get to the root of the problem. Can anyone suggest anything I should be looking at?

    Sadly no real progress.
    I simply pulled the Soundblaster Live 24 out of the computer and am using the onboard sound instead which at least for me Arch recognized just fine.
    I haven't been able to get any suggestions for why the Soundblaster was not working, but I am going to try another sound card a friend lent me and see what happens.

  • MSI K9N DIAMOND CA0106 chipset AUDIGY or SOUNDBLASTER LIVE 24

    I have 2 PC's one with an MSI K8N SLI PLATINUM mobo with onboard SOUNDBLASTER 24bit li've (CA006)
    http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=proddesc&prod_no=69&maincat_no=&cat 2_no=&cat3_no=
    This system has run fine for over 2-/2 years now with no troubles it was connected to my PIONEER VSX 86 via SPDIF/toslink? and has excellent sound and performed all that I wanted including DTS DVD's and all my music video clips, DIVX movies etc etc
    The trouble is, I have just setup my new system
    MSI K9N DIAMOND also with the onboard Creative sound (CA006) and comes supplied with the Creative Audigy disc
    http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=proddesc&prod_no=028&maincat_no=&ca t2_no=7
    When I try to install the drivers/setup disc it tells me that there is no Audigy onboard/installed? I have managed to install the drivers/disc from the previous soundblaster li've 24bit, It does work with the Audigy goldmine demo and has all channels of sound as it should but in the Surround mixer speaker settings it will only sound out 2 speakers even when it shows all 5. as it is currently configured
    I have tried to download many other drivers with no luck
    My main concern is the creative programs from my old system are not what I want, I paid for an AUDIGY setup not LIVE
    Is it possible to get the AUDIGY onboard running as it should (showing AUDIGY in hardware manager, not LIVE 24bit)
    I would like to be able to run the newer software from the AUDIGY disc but it is not compatible when the LIVE drivers are installed
    I have had one set of drivers display AUDIGY in the hardware manager but when I tried to use the speaker settings etc it fails and says soundcard not found even though it clearly shows AUDIGY drivers are installed
    I have been very happy with the creative sound so far on my first MSI system but I'm not very impressed with this setup and I'm still not sure who's fault it is MSI or CREATIVE?
    Can someone give me some details as to what is going on here, I would like to know if it is also possible to use some kind of new software/programs for the soundblaster LIVE that has maybe more settings/functions or just a later better style as I may have to use the same on my new system
    The menu's etc in my new manual (K9N DIAMOND) look almost identical to those included with the K8N SLI, The disc included with the K9N DIAMOND has an AUDIGY quick start program/demo which gives you a preview/guide on how to use the supposed AUDIGY which has all new menu's, layout and features which im unable to use?
    As mentioned I have used the soundblaster 24bit LIVE for well over 2 years now connected to my PIONEER VSX86 via a digital cable so all the previous settings etc have been compared and doublechecked but im unable to find answers, If I am unable to find help or any way to install the AUDIGY as im meant to have I may resort to fitting another soundcard and I may got to another brand unfortunately
    Any help appreciated

    If I am right the onboard Audigy on the MSI K9N Diamond utilizes the CA006 chip instead of the EMU0k2, therefore it is not a real/genuine Audigy soundcard. In fact it's the same as your former soundblaster li've 24bit which also utilizes the same CA006 chipset. That's why you can use the driver from the SB li've 24bit for your new "Audigy" onboard sound. Also there are other soundcards that are not genuine Audigy soundcards: Audigy Se, Audigy LS and, yes, also the X-fi Xtreme Audio, all utilizing the same chip, CA006. Creative Labs use some marketing techniques, add some different (newer) software/apps for the soundcard and give the soundcard (with the same chipset) a different name. In my opinion, if you for example buy a X-fi Xtreme Audio you in fact for the most part paid for the included newer softwares (which for example add "X-fi features like Crystalizer etc.).
    If you really want a better soundcard, maybe go for the X-fi XtremeMusic or XtremeGamer which utilizes the genuine EMU20K chip (with hardware acceleration). The soundquality is significantly higher than the soundcards with the CA006 chip.
    As for the drivers for the soundcard:
    Official Creative Labs driver for Sound Blaster? Audigy? Value/SE/LS, or Sound Blaster Li've!? 24-bit audio devices
    Good luck!

  • Problem with DTT3500 soundset and onboard Soundblaster live! 24-bit

    Hi,
    I have bought a new PC with an MSI k8n sli platinum MB. this mainboard has a built in soundblaster live!24-bit chip onboard. it works great on headphones and normal 2 set speakers (analog connection).
    however, when I try to set them up at the DTT3500 speaker set, trouble begins.
    before continuing, just want to say First that my older PC is standing next to it, with a Soundblaster live! 5.1. If I connect with this PC to my speaker set, via the digital uitput, everythin works great. (5.1 surround).
    In the DTT3500 manual, when Digital DIN is blinking, it says it isn't recieving any signal, or not the right one (like AC-3). (I know this when on my old PC when I switch to headphones, the digital din is then blinking, which is normal as I disabled Digital output in Windows)
    now my questions:
    Is this digital port is ac-3 signal or somthing else on the Soundblaster live! 24-bit?
    Do I need to use another type of cable, like SPDIF Din Cable? (I now have a minijack to Din cable)
    I tried with optical, it works, but only with 2 speakers (left and right / digital output is on). is this normal? If i look at the manual, it's typical used for gameconsoles with stereo left and right. I guess this is so with the DDT3500 decoder...?
    if I try Digital Din on the Decoder, it doesn't work. the Decoder Led keeps blinking. Yet in Windows, digital output is on and 5.1 speakers is selected.
    In short, exact the same setup on the Decoder and PC as my older PC.
    My guess is the the soundblaster live! 24-bit is an enhanced version of the soundblaster live! 5.1? Am I wrong, I don't know....
    I do know that the reviews said you could use the digital port (orange one)
    here is a picture:
    http://www.overclockers.co.nz/ocnz/reviewimage.php?id=05boardnf4sli00microstak8nslipt0104&file=panel.jpg
    and here more info on it: http://www.overclockers.co.nz/ocnz/review.php?id=05boardnf4sli00microstak8nslipt0204
    I would apreciate any help, as i'm really stuck at the moment.

    does anybody use the soundblaster live! 24-bit to  power a surround speaker set? or is it just impossible? (for gaming)

  • Soundblaster live gameport not working on k7n2 delta-L

    i have a k7n2 delta-L motherboard and i installed a soundblaster live sound card and can not get the game port to work at all. first i thought it was a bad card so i installed a different card and the same thing so ithen thought it was the game controller and tried a different one and it didnt work either . and yes i disabled the on board sound in the bios before installing the card. i have it in ide slot #3. seems to be the best to go with .i am running win 98 se. and all my drivers are up to date. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

    fourhooffarms,
    In the BIOS Disable the onboard Realtek Sound and then put the Live! in PCI Slot 3 or 4, then set the IRQ of that Slot to IRQ5.
    Also list all your IRQs and every Device on each IRQ.
    Take Care,
    Richard
    P.S. Do list the specs on your Power Supply too.

  • Soundblaster Live! 24-bit No Sound Prob

    I installed this sound card on my windows xp sp2 comp and it worked fine, I went to install the same soundblaster li've! 24-bit card on my windows 2000 sp4 comp and installation went fine. My problem is I get no sound what so ever on my windows 2000 comp and my windows xp comp did, I tried plugging in different speakers, headphones, and any other audio devices I could find that I know worked(tested on numerous things besides my windows 2000 comp) and nothing works. Driver version is 5.2..34, which came directly off the CD from the retail box that I purchase. I could not find any new drivers for this sound card off Creative's website, so I figure there wasn't any new releases. My sound panel has all my volume controls at 00%, the Creative Surround Mixer has all my volume controls set at 00%, and I know for a fact I have everything plugged in correct(Audio output device plugged into green, mic plugged into blue, nothing in orange or black). Any help would be much appreciated,
    Thanks.
    EDIT: System specs are;
    AMD Athlon XP 2200+, 768mb RAM, Radeon 9600xt, FIC motherboard.

    Seventhwind,
    Did you check Speaker Settings application and ensure that the Digital Output Only option has not been enabled.
    Also disable any onboard audio from the BIOS if any.

  • Windows Media Player 11 problems with SoundBlaster Live! Driv

    My sound card stops working as soon as I try to watch a video with WMP. I have a Creative Labs SoundBlaster Li've! with a driver date of 8/29/2002. When I go to adjust audio properties, the system doesn?t recognize the card even though it is still listed in the hardware and says ?Device is working properly. I have reloaded the driver, and the card begins to work again, but as soon as I attempt to view a video, I?m back to the same place.
    When I run the diagnostics included with the SoundBlaster card prior to running WMP, it passes on Hardware Detection, Wave Driver, MIDI Driver, DirectSound Driver, DirectSound3D Driver, but not on Mixer Driver, SoundFont Setting and Mixer Settings Check. After I run WMP, the only test that will pass is the Hardware Detection.
    I have also tried this with the October 2002 driver set for SoundBlaster. In addition, I have downloaded the most recent driver set from Creative Labs.
    I'm running Windows XP SP2.
    Other programs like iTunes and various games work after I reinstall the drivers, but will not work after WMP starts. It appears that WMP is the source of the problem. Any suggestions?

    Make sure you have the DRM update for the Li've drivers. I suspect WMP is cutting out the sound. Just to make sure that this is in fact the case, you could try playing back your clip with some other media player.

  • Soundblaster Live! CT4620 - what driver to install for Windows XP P

    Please can someone help me? I've upgraded from Windows 98SE to Windows XP Pro and need to install a driver for my Soundblaster Li've! CT4620. I tried to install one driver and it says "The Windows operating system is not supported" and the install exits. I'm stuck! What should I do?
    Thanks,
    Nick

    Hi Nick,
    The CT4620 is the original SB Li've! card. You should be able to install the Li've driver unipack:
    Li'veDrvUni-Pack(ENG).exe
    It's available under Support> Download (just select "SB Li've!" in the product list).

  • Creative SoundBlaster Live! 5.1 Digital driver update - wont wo

    Hello I've had this problem for as long as I can remember. I have already searched the forum in hope that I would find a solution. I didn't.
    Ok, this is how it is. About two years ago I bought computer parts which I assembled together and "Creative SoundBlaster Li've! 5. Digital RETAIL PCI" was one of them.
    I have tried every single driver you have under your support page and none of them will work! I always get 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."
    Right. All drivers gives me this. I know that you guys will probably ask after the serial number now but I'm too lazy to check at the very moment and I know that the serial check will be a SB Li've! 5. digital card anyway so I don't see how that would solve this issue you are having with your, sorry to say this, outdated installs.
    The card is installed correctly in the device manager as "Creative SB Li've! series". And how come I can install it from the CD but not from your internet drivers?
    I'm using Windows 2000 Professional with service pack 4 by the way.
    Is there a chance these installs wont work with latest service packs, that they were designed for earlier service packs and Microsoft maybe changed the way to detect hardware in later service packs?
    I'd appreciate any help I can get because I really need to update my drivers, I got a small sound problem now it seems (soundeffects volume goes down and there is a bit of distortion when it's too many of the same sound playing - or when a soundeffect is to loud).
    Thanks for a great card in general, I'm going to buy (I don't remember the name now) one of those new cards later on - that is suposed to be over 4 times better than the previous soundblaster cards? .

    Hmm, the install extracts files but not in the current directory or in windows temp. How would I extract the content from the install file so I can patch it's
    EDIT: I extracted it with winrar and I got the following files:
    data.cab
    data.hdr
    data2.cab
    Diagnose.cab
    disk.id
    Driver.cab
    ikernel.ex_
    layout.bin
    PC3.cab
    Setup.exe
    Setup.ini
    setup.inx
    Wstudio.cab
    I know there should have been some sort of audio folder here but I didn't find any, so I tried the program and it said patch applied and all that. I try to run setup.exe and it will still not work. Probably because I'm doing it all wrong :P.Message Edited by Ice_ on 06-5-2006 04: AM
    EDIT2: Ok I got several driver files so I just extracted "Li'veDrvUni-Pack(ENG).exe" to C:\sb\ and ran the tool as you described. I could launch the install without problems. By the way, Li'veDrvUni-Pack(ENG).exe is containing the latest drivers as well right? So I dont need to do this with "Li'veDrvPack_Patch.exe" as well?
    Thanks!Message Edited by Ice_ on 06-5-2006 04:5 AM

  • Sounblaster live usb driver prob

    Hello everyone. Have encountered a problem with the 'standalone' driver update for my usb soundblaster li've. I installed the driver - without anything else, just as is - but there isn't an option to activate 5. sound anywhere - done the usual things - control panel etc. Worse I couldn't and still can't find an uninstall option. Nowhere. I've looked, control panel, everywhere. So ... I foolishly installed the stuff off the cd - which worked, I got 5. sound, but then I was getting some horrible noises with cubase so I decided to try uninstalling everything but just can't. I removed eveything I could, but couldn't find how to get rid of the standalone update. I just want to install the drivers cleanly - and thereby hopefully get cubase to work without the noise that I get with the creative drivers - it works with windows drivers, but I get really bad latency problems.
    I wonder if anyone could advise me on how to fully uninstall all the creative stuff, and then if I ought to install stuff off the CD first and THEN the update?
    Oh I'm running XP Pro, via chipset, nvidia graphics.
    Thanks for any help offered.

    ?The speakers no longer work at all with the headset unplugged. The Li've card is still set as the default (I've tried with the 'use only default devices' checked and unchecked, neither work). I've verified the checkboxes and sliders in the Volume control settings. All the basics (I think) have been covered, and there is still no sound coming from the speakers.
