Soundblaster Play! & Windows 7 64bit, sound 'freezes'? Correct driver version?

Hi, I've had a Soundblaster Play! for a while now, and I'm using it on a Windows 7 64-bit laptop. I've got a strange problem where I am listening to music, doesn't seem to matter which program I use, and the sound suddenly stops, whatever player I'm using stops advancing and trying to start playing a new song will load the song but not play. Restarting the program usually works. The fact that it happens no matter what audio program I use (MediaMonkey and Songbird are the main two I've tried) makes me think it might be the audio driver. I have run the Creative Auto Update, which tells me there's an update, but even after I've run the update (and rebooted) if I go back and rerun the Auto Update it will again tell me the same update is available, which makes me think (at least some of) the update hasn't actually loaded. If I go into the device manager->Sound, video and game controllers->SB Play! and check the driver version, it tells me it's using driver version 1.0.1.0 with a driver date of 9/03/200, which doesn't seem to match with what the update should install. Is it possible just to get the latest driver file, without the other bits of software, so that I can try updating directly from the device manager? Thanks!!

CRe: Windows 7 64bit RC + X-Fi XtremeGamer cracklig sound problem
!!! Don't get me wrong Drewnami i don't want to flame anybody but just to get them think a bit about what they have done in such a long time with this problem. It seems the solution is to sell my GB of memory because it's unusable with a sound card that is that expesi've. It's a great sound card IF it WOULD work with the drivers they write for it. But it won't happen so it seems. They obviously think: "We don't care about users of an older rig, they should spend some more money on a new machine if they want for our product to work well." I say "NO!!"
Why should I? I'm happy with my config and it's working much better then some newer machines i have seen. Believe me! I'm working in a computer store so i know what i'm talking about.
Dear Creative representati'ves,
Please! Sit down and think about a solution for this problem. You're making some great products out there and don't let you loose your reputation because of some lines of codes that need to be written. Don't think that you'll the best and only choice on the market till the end of days. NOPE that won't happen.

My XP machine crashed, I reinstalled Premiere Pro 2.0 with Windows 7, and I got the following error: 'The Currently installed soundcard driver does not support Direct Sound Input.

Thanks! Though I upgraded to solve the problem, this is good to know.

VERY VERY VERY EASY (now, when I solved the problem, not before...!!!)
Insert Micropone or any jack in Micropone Input or Aux Input, on your sound card or motherboard !
AND NOW YOU CAN USE PREMIERE PRO 2.0
Enjoy

Windows 7 64bit Hard Freeze

I have a MacBook Pro Late 2008 model with 4 gb of RAM. I have Windows 7 64 bit install through bootcamp, which I need because I have some biology programs that are Windows only. However, about once a day Windows 7 will hard freeze. What is causing this? Snow Leopard works fine and never crashes. Please do not just say it is Windows, because it is not just Windows. It has to be a bootcamp driver or something. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I lose countless hours of data when it crashes.

Hello. I've just bought a Macbook pro 17'' 3Ghz with 7200rpm seagate hard drive and 4gb ram (nvidia 9400m graphics). I'm not familiar with Mac Os. I've successfully installed Windows 7 (it) with bootcamp (3.0) and programs I need: everything is good but I've the same problem: once or twice a day windows freeze (no blue screen, simply screen shows the same picture, mouse does'nt work, etc...): I have to shut down.
I've tried both Win7 64bit and Win7 32bit. In the windows event registry I find some errors 11 (disk) and (only with the 32bit version) acpi errors.
Has someone found some answer? My model is late 2009 model, software up to date!
Should I buy an HP instead ?

Hp recovery manager pavilion dv7 windows 7 64bit not installed correctly

I'm trying to reinstall Recovery Manager after a hard disk replacement. I have a HP Pavilion dv7 4060si running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. I've downloaded sp45602 and installed it. It did not install properly. When I went to the SwSetup/sp45602 folder and clicked RecoveryMgr.exe I got a message that a DZIP32.dll file was missing. I downloaded it and dragged it into the SwSetup/sp45602 folder. Then I got a message that HardDisk.dll was missing. I downloaded it and dragged it into the SwSetup/sp45602 folder. Then I got a message that PRRC.dll was missing. I downloaded it and dragged it into the SwSetup/sp45602 folder. Now I get a message in Turkish that translated by Google reads: Recovery Manager driver failed to start. To apply you will need to reinstall.
I've deleted the SwSetup/sp45602 folder, downloaded the sp45602.exe again and gone through the same process to get the same result. What is missing from my software?

Did you resolve this?
I'm getting the same issues!

Windows 8 (64bit) - LI2341t Monitor - Unsigned driver issue

Please direct me to a working link to download SIGNED WINDOWS 8.1 drivers for the LI2341t Monitor. The drivers that are included on the install disk all fail to install on Windows 8.1 because they are unsigned.
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Did you ever find an answer for this. I have the same issue where by the monitor works, but when I go to install the windows drivers from the disk they will not install on my Windows 8.1 machine as it says they are unsigned. When I try to download drivers from the Lenovo site it downloads some program that required you sign up and pay. I am at witts end here. Like I said everything works, but it would be nice to have the correct drivers.
Lenovos support seems to be non-existent. This may be the last thing I buy from them.

Bootcamp - OSx on one hard drive and windows 7 64bit on another hard drive

I have browsed the forum and the net without getting a clear answer
Fact:
With optical bay and two hard drives there is a posibility to use two harddrives within the sam MacBook Pro. The reason is space and speed, I want loads of space to all my projects and i want to use SSD that are not so spacious.
Need:
I want OSx on primary hard drive, and win7 64bit on the drive in the optical bay, replacing the DVD.
Question:
Is there a posibility to set up bootcamp this way, and how does one procede to land in this solution.
Please help me with a clear answer.

Installing on multiple drives of course can be done.
I consider it normal, common sense approach.
Anyone with a Mac Pro (not laptop) or PC.
Dedicated boot drives for each OS.
Dedicated data drives.

Windows 7 64bit USB 3.0 driver for HP ENVY Phoenix 810-200nc

Can you post the PCI\VEN character string for the USB device that lacks a driver?
The following image is an example. Right click any device without a driver and select properties to invoke the properties window. See the cues I pointed out in the Properties window to get to the PCI\VEN character string.

[ms-1719/gx700] - windows 7 64bit - mass storage controller driver missing

Hi,
I have a question about finding/installing the mass storage controller driver, after a clean install of win7 sp1 64bit (home edition).
I bought a new drive (Seagate ST9500420AS), onto which I installed the OS.
I thought the OS itself was supposed to install this driver?.....I looked at Seagate's site and they say the same thing. For good measure I used the "live update 5" MSI utility to see if they could provide it for my mobo....nothing useful came up there, and also looked at their page for my laptop model (GX700) no such drivers available either....neither for XP/Vista, let alone win7 64bit.
After installing the OS I also went out to Intel's site and downloaded/installed the latest chipset drivers for my mobo/chipset as well.....that didnt fix it.
so question is, where can I find this if none of the above worked??.
here's my detailed specs page:

thanks,
paul

guys,
thanks a lot for the quick replies.
@Stu:
I was actually wondering about those...if those micro reader drivers were what I needed...thanks for confirming and point at the x64 version. I'll put them on pretty soon, see what happens.
@Henry,
no, I wasnt aware about that at all.....but now that you mentioned it, it makes sense, the difference between my old sata1 and the new sata2. I am pretty inexperienced when it comes to messing w/ hardware, so the question is where would I get a jumper block like that?
also if I leave it as I have for the last 2 months since I had the new HD, what could happen w/out our the jumper block?....data loss/corruption, anything like that or worse??.....just wondering if it'd be ok for me to leave it as is, or if there are any issues that can come up, for which it'd be worth for me to get the jumper and install it as you mention.
also if not having this jumper does cause any issues, I was wonder if it could cause certain blank-out crashes that I've been having, which seemed so far to be related to vidcard.....but not sure if this difference between sata1 and sata2 could actually be causing these....here is the thread for that if you have any thoughts...

No sound out of back line out MacPro Bootcamp 3.1 Windows 7 64bit

No sound out of back line out speakers.
MacPro Early 2008
Bootcamp 3.1
Windows 7 64bit
Realtek HD audio driver.
I have speakers plugged into the back line out.
They work in Mac 10.6.4 (as always) and in Parallels 5 Windows 7 using Bootcamp partition.
All other jacks work. In Realtek driver it shows nothing connected to that jack.
Anybody else have this issue?
Anybody else have solved this?

Anyone at all?
Even if you don't have the issue yet have a similar setup. Maybe I can figure out if there's a driver update I may need.
BTW I KNOW others have this as I've seen this mentioned on other forums. What I do NOT know is whether it's "everyone" or there's something about systems that don't have this issue, I need to follow.

Iphone 3G on windows 7 (64bits) shows as unknown device

HP Pavilion tx2500 Notebook PC
ADM Turion X-2 Dual core
Windows 7 - 64Bits
I downloaded the latest version of Itunes and haven’t been able to use since
Every time I connect Iphone to computer, PC recognizes (it shows on Portable devices)
but somewhat shows also in another devices (unknown device) and Itunes doesn't recognize or even shows anything.
I uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes and all apple software (Bonjour, QuickTime etc) about 15 times every way I could imagine.
I extracted files (usbaapl64). I tried to update drivers with no success.
I uninstalled Anti viruses, scanned HD, updated some video/sound drivers
It works on my husband’s computer (another HP)under windows Vista 32bits but it’s not working on mine for the life of me.
I can’t figure it out what its causing the conflict and would appreciate any suggestion
I do not really want to try to jump using the restore since last time I did it I had a hard time to download/update my contacts and settings and ended up having to download MobileMe
Pls help

todays update
It got worse before got better
I uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes a couple more times. I even tried to install a 32bit version since task manager shows Itunes 32*exe.
I finally gave in and restored Iphone to factory settings and then my iphone could only call 911 (emergency calls)
I try to connect again to restore it but it didn't work. I tried the DFU and got a error msg "error-message-0xe8000001"
I researched the error msg and found something about USB2.0. I went to HP site and downloaded an update for some drivers and voila
right now iphone is being synchronized
hopefully I won't have any problems with my contacts like I had last time
this happened to me

Windows 7 64bit and Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium - No rear sound

As the title says I have a sound blaster x-fi titanium running on a windows 7 64bit box. I have downloaded all the latest drivers and tools from creative. The issue is no matter what I do I cannot get the 5. surround working. I have the front 3 speakers working and I can even get it to double the two front side speakers to the rear, but not true 5.. I have tried both DD li've and DTS. I have an Onkyo HT-R550 receiver that supports both DD and DTS and I'm connected over a digital optical cable. Trying to figure this one out!
I've gone through all the modes in the creative audio software and tried all the surround modes on the receiver.
Please help

Ok. I have actually formatted my hard dri've to fix another windows and I'm back where I was. I'm testing using the speaker page in the console. I get great sound from all 3 front speakers and my sub. What I've found when clicking the back two I will get a very quiet but clear test voice through both rear speakers, no matter which side I picked. Also the bass portion of the test comes through the sub as normal. I can't seem to get the rear speakers to test any louder.
I did the surround sound speaker test and it all sounds good (without the PC involved). Also my PS3 plays great surround sound through it using the same optical cable.
I also tried your suggestion with no improvement.
What's next?

Laptop no sound HP Pavilion g6t-1d00 CTO Notebook PC Windows 7 64bit

laptop no sound HP Pavilion g6t-1d00 CTO Notebook PC Windows 7 64bit everything enabled. I don't want to try to install wrong code from forum searches.

Hi,
Try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp55001-55500/sp55036.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete. Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.

DP-K
