SoundBlaster Live (value) working properly on XP after having no sound. Digital out

I recently did a reformat and install of everything on my XP pc. I knew that the Sound Blaster Li've would be tricky to get going again, and it was. I installed the most recent drivers from this (Creative) website and it just didnt work. I messed with every setting possible. ?I did a google search and read that many people have the same issue. Looking through some old files that I had, I came across an older Creative SB XP insall. I installed it and it worked instantly after it rebooted after the install. I then selected digital output as that is what I am using. If anybody is interested in trying this (if you have no sound), you can download the file herehttp://www.sharebigfile.com/file/53478/SBLi'veXPDrvUpdate.exe.html?If link doesnt work, see 3rd message. I upped it to another hosting area.?File is just under 0mb. On that page you will see that you need to enter a 3 or so digit code to download it. It's easy to miss so look carefully toward the bottom.
Let me know if this works for you. if it does, please post back here so that others can determine if they need this.?

    Hello. I sent my WRT1900AC V1 to Linksys four days ago (Monday) via UPS with a RMA. Linksys paid the shipping and everything. The router is still in route, and it should arrive to their offices tomorrow. Once they receive the WRT1900 AC V1, they are going to send me an EA8500 as a replacement. But I have been reading the comments about the EA8500 here in the forum and it seems to have the same problems. I guess the firmware is extremely flawed in both routers (maybe it is almost the same code?). Anyway, I will try the EA8500 and I hope it works. I bought a temporary router from Walmart and I paid $35 for it. It is a Belink N600 DB. I can't believe that a $35 router is working a lot, lot, lot better than my previous $250 WRT1900AC router. Unbelievable. If the EA8500 doesn't work, I'm going to try and get my money back from Linksys, or contact The Consumerist or someone to get my money back and get a Nighthawk instead.

    When I unplug Apple headphones from my MacBook Pro sond from internal speakers not work, and system soud preferences displayed: Output: optical digital out port only

    If you see a red light in the audio output port, then the internal switch is stuck.  Insert the earphone plug a few times and see if you can trip the switch.  If that fails, insert a cocktail stirrer and the like and jiggle it around inside.  If that fails, take it to an Apple store and have the technicians at the genius bar do it for you.

  • Notes app not working properly on 3GS after 4.2.1 update

    The Notes app no longer works properly on iPhone 3GS after update to iOS 4.2.1 the other day.
    Now when in Notes app, found that I went into a Note, edited it and then couldn't leave it - the navigation has disappeared, so cant get out of the note back to the list. Only way out of the note is to press the Home button and exit Notes.

    Wow...I also just noticed I have songs that also are not showing up. Should I just do a restore?

  • Soundblaster Live Value D

    Hello, I have a soundcard from my old Dell system that has the orange digital out, black rear, green front, and the two inputs. I have?a Logitech 5 speaker system (two rears, two fronts, center and sub) so I have the 3 connectprs from that speaker system plugged into the corresponding jacks on the soundcard. I CAN NOT for the life of me get the orange connector to switch over to analog so I can use it for my center channel.. ANY ideas on how to get this to work... I have tried SOOO many different versions of drivers and software with NO luck. PLEASE HELP!!? Thanks

    The Li've! Value is a 4 channel soundcard, meaning it support up to 4/4. speaker system. As you mention in your post too, that orange jack from the soundcard is a digital out jack. It isn't meant for connecting center/subwoofer.

  • MyBook Live stoped working properly after OSX Moutain Lion 10.8.5 Update - TimeMachine & Share unusable

    Hi folks
    I having my first OSX nightmare after updating to 10.8.5
    I have a Mini and a WD MyBook Live 2TB external drive partionioned in half 1TB for Files and other for TimeMachine
    After upgrading OSX to 10.8.5 last week I noticed irregular dysplay of my WD shares on Finder and when TimeMachine started backing up a ridiculous 20 179 days and counting up appeared
    Here goes the History by detail:
    Update OSX
    -Noticing irregular access to shares on MyBook Live
    --shares on finder didn't appear or disapeared
    --when viewing other things (eg Apps) and returning to share - share was logged off and reinitiated logging
    -TimeMachine Backups didn't occur automatically (Mini hibernated without completing them) - when forced to start the ridiculous time just kept counting up, first try was 10 days last one - over 20 000 days!...
    Then I tryed
    +restarting MAC
    +restarting MyBook Live after checking drive function with proper tools
    +disabled and re-enabled TimeMachine
    +checked for updates - OSX and MyBook Live Firmware
    +looked out for help google it, searched this forums
    +deleted volinfo.database (as proposed elsewere in this foruns) - restarted again all Mini&MyBookLive
    NOTHING WORKED ...
    +submited OSX feedback and this post...
    Acknowledging my first OSX Nightmare to you and asking for your knowledgable and kind help - anyone?!
    PLZ some guidance
    Best regards

    Backing up to a third-party NAS with Time Machine is risky, and unacceptably risky if it's your only backup. This is an example of what can happen. I know that the manufacturer says it will work, and that it usually seems to work. Except when it doesn't. Then your only recourse is to the manufacturer (which will blame Apple.)
    If you want network backup with Time Machine, use as the destination either an Apple Time Capsule or an external hard drive connected to another Mac or a mini-tower (802.11ac) AirPort base station. Only the 802.11ac base station supports Time Machine, not any previous model.

  • Soundblaster live value cannot install at

    Hi
    I have recently bought a new PC that has onboard sound, however i want a full duplex soundcard for chatting over the net.
    I had a soundblaster li've value in my old pc which i thought would do the trick so installed it but i cannot get any sound at all from it...the old soundcard is from 2000 but worked ok in my old pc
    This is what i have done
    . Changed the BIOS from EDB to PCI bus for audio
    2. Disabled AC 97 sound in Bios(which i presume is to disable the audio onboard)
    3. Set IRQ 5 to legacy as per the common problems on this site
    4. Installed the soundblaster unidrv pack downloaded from this site.
    5. Installed the creative play center then upgrade to 3
    With the drivers installed the hardware is recognised and even diagnostics says all components are available but i get zero sound, not even the crackle when you plug/unplus the speaker jacks at any point. If i try to run the speaker test it causes the pc to freeze, which i have tried several times, both before and after a cleansweep installation sequentially . The my system.hardware says i have the soundblaster components correctly installed and they are working fine, just no sound.As soon as i take it out and switch back to my onboard sound i have no problems.
    i have also noticed i get a error when i try to view the properties on the lmedia control devices option...the program shuts down rather than freezes which has only happened since i tried using the soundblaster as far as i remember, and then the whole device manager crashes
    My system is a Athlong 64 bit 3400+ on a Winfast K8S motherboard
    If this card is not compatible then what sound card would work with no problems (ie a more modern one)
    I have read all the help on this site on these messages but nothing seems to work...is their something obvious i am missing?

    Thank you for your suggestion. Unfortunately, Dell doesn't have any updates for me. I have a Dimension XPS B series computer and they don't offer any updates for SoundBlaster Li've! cards on their site. I just wish I could run the driver update file from the SoundBlaster website (DrvUniPac). It begins extracting but then says there is no SoundBlaster Product on my system, and then closes. As I mentioned before I tried the Auto Update from the SoundBlaster website and it detects the SoundBlaster Li've! Value card on my system and says that it is up to date. Why doesn't the driver update recognize my sound card?

  • Soundblaster live value vs soundblaster 7.1 24

    Just bought from walmart a soundblaster li've 7. 24bit card to upgrade my 4 year old sound blaster li've value card thats 5. i think. but after a little research it seems the value card is 32 bit's so i actualy downgraded? or did i really upgrade?

    The 32bit part of what you read in relation to your old card, is that the card operates in 32bit , just like most other things inside your computer, unless you have like the newer 64 bit cpu's.
    As for the 24bit, in the Li've! 24bit card, the card i assume still operates in 32bit,
    however, the card supports and can record 24bit sound files.
    Your older card would have only been able to support 6bit sound,
    cds till recently for example were only 6bit, however nowadays you can start to see cds come out in 24bit format.
    Hope that clears up some things for you lol, basically, the 32bit, is to do with how the card transmits data,
    24 bit is is to do with sound, and the way it is encoded.
    To answer your question, Soundblaster li've value vs soundblaster 7. 24bit ,
    In my opinion the 7. 24bit is better, as it has, and supports newer technology such asEAX HD, 24bit sound.

  • Problem updating drivers for soundblaster live value CT4

    Hi all, I wonder if anyone can help me, i have a creative soundblaster li've value sound card model no. CT4780 it's about 4yrs old and i am trying to update the driver as the last one to go on it was in 2002. I have been trolling the creative website and downloaded the automatic update driver search but when it finishes it says i have the most current update for my card. I have had a look at the Li'veDrvUni-pack and being a bit of a novice to driver installing i was wondering if that one would be okay for me to download and install. Would appreciate any help.....

    Hi Shrek
    I just listed my first post. I bought a dell Dimension XPS T500 in 999. It used a CT4780 that fed a good Altec Lansing speaker system. When I built my present budget PC I used the old CT4780 card. Because I?am using XP Pro I loaded Li'veDri'veUni-Pack.exe driver (released 280203). This worked fine.
    But I do not have the SPDIF working as yet. My MSI? MS-6533XG?Motherboard does have?header pins for SPDIF but?so far I haven't used them. I am looking for drivers to use if I can get the SPDIF connected.
    Do you have any info?on my needs?
    Thanks

  • Few days ago my Firefox work properly & perfect. After the last update I miss my history and convinient addons. Please HELP : (

    Hi,
    Few days ago Mozila stop work (I don't remember before or after last update) and ask me something. I answered responsibly, but the result is a hilarious and tragic, as follow:
    1/ No bookmarks: They are very important for me because I prepare them from years. I often mark the important sites with "CTRL+D" and by inserting few key words.
    2/ No history
    3/ Under the tabs, on left side, there was 2 arrows in circle: TO Left and TO Right. With them was very comfortably to navigate. Now there is only 1 arrow: TO LEFT
    4/ Under the tabs, on right side is field "Search using Firefox Add-ons". Few days ago was very useful to write some word and Mozilla automatically search for sites that meet the written words by GOOGLE. Now this feature is gone.
    Are they any opportunity to restore my previous settings ?
    Thank you for cooperation !
    Best regards,
    Rumen Ivanov

    Hello,
    Firefox automatically creates backups of your bookmarks, which can be helpful if your bookmarks are lost or missing. To recover them, follow the instructions below.
    #Use <u>one</u> of these methods to open the Bookmarks Library window:
    #*Click the ''[[Display the Firefox button menu instead of the menu toolbar|Firefox button]]'' to open the menu and click on ''Bookmarks''.
    #*Click the ''Bookmarks'' menu and click on ''Show All Bookmarks''.
    # At the top of the Library window, click the "Import and Backup" menu and select Restore.
    # Click the date of the bookmark backup you want to recover.
    # In the new window that appears, click OK.
    # Your bookmarks from the selected date should now be restored.
    For more information, see the [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]] article. For other solutions, see the [[Recover lost or missing Bookmarks]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Soundblaster Live Value and Windows

    I have been previously running Soundblaster Li've Value on an Windows ME computer without any problems.

Are any files required from the original Soundblaster CD. I would appreciate your advise. kevsim

  • I am having problem with my notifications bar and control centre bar. It doesn't work with sliding my fingers on the screen and when I restart the phone it works properly  but again after few days the problem persist? My phone is an iphone6 8.1.3

    notification bar and control centre not working by sliding on the screen and when u restart it works fine for 4-5 days then again the problem persists

    First, try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data by resetting.
    If this does not help, set it up as new device, explained here:
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    If still no luck, get it checked by visiting an Authorized Apple Service Provider or contact Apple Support to get it serviced:
