Update CD for Soundblaster Audigy LS (100+

I just updated my Win XP to SP2. That was 00+ Mb. There was an option to save to a file, which I did, and burned a CD to store with my OS software.
However, I saw no option to do the same for the update to my sound card, which, incredibly, was about the same size. I'm on a dial-up connection, so this takes many hours to accomplish.
At the end of the update for my Audigy software there was a statement for the location of the files (paraphrasing): "The downloaded update files can be found at: ...C:\Program Files\Creative\Software Update\cache"
Note that these files, on my partitioned dri've, are on my primary partition. So if my OS goes down, I also lose and have to re-download this update, unless I can assume that copying all of the files from the above location to a CD constitutes the update.
If the update is in the above location, how can it be applied? For example, the first folder in this location is called: "Creative Basic Audio Suite for Creative Sound Blaster audio devices__" and the file in the folder is: "BasicAudio_PCApp__00_03.exe"
Will this file do the update for that portion of the Audigy LS software, etc?
Thanks for any help from this newbie to the world of HUGE downloads.

WallyD,
The auto update only help to simplify the update process by running the updates after it finish downloading. It's downloading the exact same file as if you download it via the manual way in the download page. Also, you can burn those files to CD if you like and run it the next time you need it but do read up the details/requirement for each individual updates and what's it's meant for. Just click at the 'Show Details' when you're in the download page for that.

  • Awe 32 Midi sound for Soundblaster Audigy L

    I long time ago bought the good old awe32 ISA card. In my opinion this card had the best midi sound there ever was.... but back to the point. In lack of a ISA slot in my PC i now use a soundblaster audigy LS.But someone told me i can somewhere in the galaxy download a so called Sound Bank or Sound Font so my midi files and old dos games (Dosbox) could sound just like the old awe 32 Soundblaster card. But i could nowhere find such files. And even if i would find something i don?t know how to use them. I hope someone can help me.

    Hi
    I'm not sure if your card is SoundFont capable but ...
    Here is some free SoundFont banks :

  • 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

    ?Your card is not "udigy 2 Value"? but "Audigy 2 Platinum" series card. So if you try install drivers go from CT support then select Audigy 2 Platinum there. IIRC, there are/were some problems to install original drivers for OEM cards ... resolution was/is to go to the vendors (dell in this case) support pages and install?drivers from there if you find ones. You may also try to install?HP OEM driver or patched Audigy installation. You can find both by searching here. jutapa?

  • Update available for soundblaster X-fi [AC0

    As the subject says, is there such thing? I can't find it in the list of updates (with the exact name that is), and wondering if it's out of date of somethin.

    [AC00] is a fragment of resource (port ) usage of your soundcard. Not the model name. Drivers are devided into 2 groups: Li've 24bit, Audigy SE, X-Fi EtremeAudio & others (Live! on EMU0K, Audigy non-SE, X-Fi on EMU20K). Check them on official support site.

  • 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.

  • PLEASE HELP: installing my Soundblaster Audigy LS-soundcard with the latest hardware(bundle)drive

    Problem:
    I have a Soundblaster Audigy LS Soundcard in one of my PCI slots (I already tried the other slot with the same result). I run Windows XP professional SP2.
    When I install the hardwaredriver-bundle version: Sound Blaster Audigy LS .04.0055, I have no problem, but when I install version .0.4.077 (in this example: or I install version 055 or I install version 077), I have the following problem: (through Control Panel) in system properties/hardware/device manager, I find PCI Device listed in " other devices " with a black exclamationmark in a yellow circle, while the SB Audigy LS is listed in the group " sound, video and game controllers ". The soundcard works, which is great but why is the exclamationmark showing? I already tried a different PCI slot, IRQ assignement in BIOS, but is still shows. The strange thing is, if I install first version 055 and then version 077, the problem is gone. A new problem that occurs if I do so, is that the PC hangs when starting Windows (but I'm not sure if that has to do with the fact that I install version MediaSource 5 Player-Organizer 5.20.23 over version 5.0.38, just to keep the MediaSourceGo! Toolbar (because it's no longer part of the softwarebundle version 20.23 - which has been confirmed by the support of Creative), the same with version of CD Burner Plugin 5.0.44 over 5.0.3 because it's not really clear on the website, if you need the previous version or if it's a full "update"). Please URGENT (with detailed info on every explained problem/issue - so I can try to resolve it) help.
    Thanx,

  • Creative Soundblaster Audigy 2 Zs help

    Before I start rambling on about my problem here are my specs (BTW I'm not incredibly computer literate; my dad helped me install everything before I left for school):Cpu: Intel Duo Processor 2.66 GhzRAM: .5 GB DDR2Video Card: ATI Radeon 9600 (soon to be one of their newer models)OS: Windows XPSound Card: Creative Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS?Ok so I was reinstalling everything after I had to format my computer. I get through installing my creative sound card and figure everything went great. I was playing my music when I had realized that I forgot to configure my sound card for them, as I was getting mono instead of stereo (was only playing out of left speakers). So I go into speaker setup and click on "calibrate speakers" or something like that. Anyway, the speaker calibrator says that It could not be ran for some reason (i forget). I figure that it wasn't working because I hadn't updated anything yet. I update, and I still get the same message. So I reinstalled the software and updated it again and now when I try to run ANY of my creative software related to the sound card (I.E. EAX console, Speaker Setup) it says that "The Audio device supported by this software is not detected. The Application will now shut down."? Now remember that I'm not great with computers, so my solution now will probably sound stupid. But anyways I figured that I had installed the wrong sound card software (it gives me three choices on the disc). I uninstall everything and choose another setting. I still got the same problem. So I try the third choice and I get the same problem. Any suggestions? I've tried all three choices and I still get the same problem.

    Hi
    You may first need to patch the driver package by using ctcomp.exe to get std. drivers (eg. not Dell specific) installed to your Dell PC. Search this forum after ctcomp.exe --> there you'll find some instructions too.
    You can also find a link to the latest drivers available (I personally use Audigy 4 drivers from november 2005 --> can be found from creative support pages) by searching this forum (I think the latest WHQL version is .~62 for the original version).

    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

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.

  • Static/Pop on my Soundblaster Audigy 2 in a Dell 8300 Dimension. Please help

    Ok, granted my computer is 7 years old, but it has been flawless until recently. I don't know if it's my soundcard Soundblaster Audigy 2 (SB0240), my graphics card is the NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200. I have read about some NVIDIA conflicts, but nothing is new on my system since I bought it back in 2003. I have upgraded all the drivers on the SB0240 card and the graphics card and all the windows XP updates.
    So could the static and hizzing mean my SB Audigy 2 card is bad and needs replacement? But before I do anything I wanted to ask the community for some advise on fixing and getting rid of the static/po
    ps.
    Thanks

    Not that you should feel alone as there seems to be a myriad of people in the same boat as us, but I too have a similar experience. I've performed?everything posted as potential ways to resolve with no success. You mentioned that you were unclear about the PCI Settings component.
    For me that seem rather simple. When the machine boots, hit whatever key needed to go into the bios (it is usually the Delete key on most systems). Look for a PCI settings that matches the latency resolution described. Honestly I never even paid attention to that setting in the BIOS before but after some poking around I found it and adjusted the settings as suggested.
    I suspect that if look at all of the options in your?BIOS you'll find it.
    After reading several posts on the suspect cause of the static and popping I?conceptually understand what lower the PCI latency does. Still?when you start changing things that have unknown implications, well I start to get nervous about things like that.
    I took the risk because the problem is driving me nuts and I'm a bit masochistic and I won't stop until this is solved. In any event, be sure to capture the original setting so you can put it back after you're disappointed.
    I must say that I was one of those that went and purchased an X-FI for another system that I bought. It doesn't crackle, it just refuses to work. I'm so disappointed as I have always used SB cards with zero issue and these latest generation ones are just not working.

  • SoundBlaster Audigy ZS Pro ASIO DRIVER Questions w/ Cubase

    <SPAN>
    <SPAN>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:
    <SPAN>
    <SPAN>Creative ASIO - [Cubase sets default sample rate at 48KHz ]</LI>
    <SPAN>SB Audigy 2 ZS ASIO 24/96 (B800) [ Cubase sets default sample rate at 96KHz]</LI>
    <SPAN>SB Audigy 2 ZS ASIO [Cubase sets default sample rate at 48KHz ]</LI>
    <SPAN>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.
    <SPAN>Here are the details:
    <SPAN>For Both Creative ASIO & SB Audigy 2 ZS ASIO, Cubase SX2.2 lists the following inputs:
    <SPAN>Line in / MIC L & R, Line in 2 L & R, Line in 3 L & R, SPDIF IN L & R
    <SPAN>and then the strange...MIX L & R, MIX FL & FR, MIX RL & RR, MIX FC, MIX LFE (?), MIX RC ( twice), MIX SL & SR
    <SPAN>No OPTICAL?
    <SPAN>For the SB Audigy 2 ZS ASIO 24/96, Cubase SX2.2 lists the following inputs:
    <SPAN>Line in / MIC L & R, Line in 2 L & R, Line in 3 L & R
    <SPAN>No SPDIF or OPTICAL?
    <SPAN>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?
    <SPAN>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?
    <SPAN>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?
    <SPAN> 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.
    <SPAN>ANY Help will be greatly appreciated!!
    <SPAN>
    <SPAN>THX,
    <SPAN>KeyMix

    Thank you.
    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.

  • How to capture the change in the update mode (for Inventory) in a transport

    Hi all,
    I recently changed the update mode for Inventory Controlling  from Unserialized V3 Update to Queued delta in R/3 DEV environment. When I was doing the change it did not prompt for a transport request. Now I have to somehow capture this in a transport and move it to R/3 Quality environment. How do I capture this change in a transport.
    Thanks in advance,
    Ram Kumar.

    there are 2 options
    1) try changing back and forth and see if it prompts for a request
    2) Create a customizing request and add the following entry into the request
    Program ID - R3TR; Object type - TABU; Object name -  TMCEXUPD
    and make the entry ...How ?? Click on the key that you see under the column 'Function'
    client/application component.. if client is 100 and application component is 11
    then the table entry should be 10011
    Assign points if it helps
    P.S:if you check the table TMCEXUPD shows you the update mode
