Tried to install Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 but won't wor

Hi,
I tried to install a Li've! 5. card i recently bought, and the guy from the store told me i wouldn't need a CD-ROM because XP auto-installs it.
So i opened my pc, and plugged the sound blaster into a free motherboard slot.
When i try to startup, it just won't work, and when it does, XP simply says no sound card was found..
What did i do wrong?
I know nothing at all about computers, so don't ask me any specs; i only know my computer runs on XP..
Thanks for the help!!
ps.
I only use a windows for flightsimming, and since i'm a member of a virtual airline, i have to do at least flight per month, or i lose my membership and my saved flight hours.. So i need a solution as fast as possible.. Thanks!

Sound Blaster Live CT4620 and Windows XP can it work and h

Hello, I have an old Sound Blaster Li've Model CT4620 that I installed on my old PC (windows 95) and loved quite a while back, I have since upgraded my Pc to a newer model that has Windows XP Pro and was hoping to install my old much loved Sound Blaster Li've card but when I went to install the drivers from my origanal discs windows put up a warning that this version of driver was not compatable with my system. I have looked around the site and am lost. Is there any hope for me and my older Sound blaster li've card? If so what do I need to do, download, install to run it's I am not very PC smart so please take it slow for me Thank you!

Sound Blaster Live 24-bit PCI Sound Card and Creative Sound Blaster PCI Card not detect

Ok here is my problem. I bought a Creative Sound Blaster PCI sound card a while back and it was working fine but recently when I would boot up my computer and try to play music say off of Winamp it says Bad DirectSound Driver. When I check device manager it shows no sound card there and in sounds and audio devices it says no audio device. Now my brother believed this to be a card fault so we went to Frys and bought a Sound Blaster Li've 24-bit PCI card. I uninstalled the old drivers and installed this new one but yet it's the same problem. My assumption was that Windows XP had something conflicting so I reinstalled the OS. It found the card and I installed the latest drivers?off of this site but now it does the same thing yet again with a fresh install of Windows XP. The card has been in all 3 of my PCI slots and it will detect it for a moment but then acts like as if the card was never installed. Like I never installed a sound card into the computer. The onboard audio has been disabled for a while now but I do not know what the problem could be. I did Scan for hardware changes but it doesn't show up. Sometimes when the card is detected if I do scan for hardware changes and the card is there it will just magically disappear from the device manager as if it was never there. Even when I try to load music and I see the card is detected it will not play the music and ends up locking up Winamp to the point that sometimes will go BSOD. Now I would really like to find out what the issue is because I am planning this weekend to swap out my motherboard with a duplicate board to see if that will end up fixing the problem but I want to find out if there is any other way to fix this issue. Thank you.Message Edited by AuXoIs on 02-25-200808:28 PM

Hmm what other options is there for the bios on PCI slots?Also anything you connect to the motherboard can have oxidization (I think its that) build up on the connection. Check the connector on the card and get a eraser (Pen eraser is better) and give it a good cleaning. The connector might have alot of build-up on it and you can see it by a dark yellowy colour. I cleaned my graphics card and ram connectors after they got alot of the build-up on them. On a older computer my graphics stopped working and this fixed it. Also I went away for a while (like a month) and came back to see that my puter didn't display anything. Opened it up and saw that the graphic card had alot of corrosion? on the card connector and in the slot. Does that if you computer is turned of for a long time. Had a heck of time trying to clean the slot out. One other thing that it could be is the sound card is faulty. I had an audigy 2 and it died a while back . It picks it up and then try and use it computer freezes and the after restart it's not there anymore. Hope it's not that problem. Hope this gives you something to go by.

Windows 7 - 64 Bit Driver Needed For Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 Model SB0100

I am having trouble finding a working driver for Windows 7 - 64 Bit for a Sound Blaster Li've! 5. Audo Card Model# SB000
I downloaded driver file SBL_PC64DRVBETA_LB_2_03_0005.exe which I think is a 64 Bit Sound Blaster Li've! update, but Windows 7 does not allow it to be installed because it is not a digitally signed driver. It also seems Creative is no longer supporting these old cards with new driver updates.
I love the card though. I have bought more recent sound cards and the sound of this card is still much better than the more recent sound cards I have bought. So I would like to keep using it if possible.
Are there any driver solutions?

I recently answered about the same question:
If you?use Vista or Windows7, then there is no official driver. You can only use alternati've drivers like Vista Support Pack by Daniel_K or the one from KXProject (better). But if you have more than 2 gigs of memory installed or an x64 OS, then both drivers will be half-working (as far as I remember, Daniel's driver won't work with more than 2 Gb of memory installed in any OS, and with KX-driver there will only be a problem with MIDI playback with more than 2 Gb AND x64 Win7).

BA7500G + Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit + Windows 2k = no sound

Similar to the thread for Win XP, I have inherited a BA7500g speaker system, and purchased a new Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit card for my Win2k system. Cannot get the speakers to work, although the speaker test works from the BA control unit. Noticed the digital audio input cable is color coded, and I don't have the original card that matches this scheme. Could this be the problem?

I have installed a new (not used) Soundblaster Audigy SE and BA7500G speakers and I'm running XP Pro. I'm getting no sound even when I change to Digital Out only? Not sure what to do? Is this sound card not compatible with my speakers? Do I need to purchase the Digital I/O Module that Creative is currently not in stock? I can find the Digital I/O module on Ebay if need be but not sure that's the solution. Please help!
Thanks,
Kevin

Hi Angelo,
Thanks for replying. When I rebooted the system and got into
"Solaris Device Configuration Assistant" it printed out:

When I typed "prtconf", the message includes

Is the sound card one of these?
The sound card has a Vortex II chip on it.
From the main window, I chose "Programs", "Audio",
and the error message I got is:
/dev/audioctl
Could not open stream to audio device
There is no /dev/audio file.
Thanks lot for your help.

Have you actually tired it yourself? I'm wondering if this is a workaround, or will this be the official solution. I wouldn't mind trying it, but I don't want to mess it up for when the Official driver is released.

Sound Blaster Live! Platinum 5.1 and DTT2500 5.1

Hello!
I have a Sound Blaster Live! Platinum 5.1 and a Cambridge Soundworks DTT2500 5.1 Digital Sound System.
I linked them with with the SPDIF-Out on the Live! Drive.
First i thought it works but then i realized that there is only sound from the 2 front and the center speakers. There is no Signal on the Sorround Speakers.
When i do the sound test in the sorround mixer, only the left and the right front speakers work.
Do i have to link it with this 9 pin digital din cable? But i don't have such and don't know where to get.
Can you help me?
How do i have to link this devices?

You may have to use the connection on the rear of the sound card...there should have had a "Y" shaped cable included with the speaker/sound card..it has a small 1/8" plug on the single end and opens to a din plug and rca type pluge on the other...try the single end in the orange input at the sound card and the other two plug in to the speaker system..sorry bout being so vaugue, i'm kinda tired..but if you need the original speaker system/ sound card owner's manuals with the installation diagrams I can get them to you.

Sound Blaster Live 5.1 - SF1 damaged.

houk
Yesterday I've found on my SBLi've5. that subassembly signed as SF (near MID/Gameport) is corrupted (looks like burned out).. Is this little one correspond with using an eventual midi keyboard od game controller? What kind of component is that? Resistor? Or something else? If this thing is important for communication through MIDI/Gameport, and if yes - could it be repaired by changing invalid component?

My old Sound Blaster!

I've had this product(s80270) for years and now that I've upgraded to hi-speed internet I thought that maybe I could use the device to record streaming audio. My computer alone will not do this because , apparently do not have a sound card. Is there a way, with this product, to record from the internet(songza.com)? If anyone can help me with this old sound blaster problem I certainly would appreciate [email protected]

davehelps:
The "delayed write failed" message suggests to me that you have write caching enabled for the N200 within Windows. This might be causing problems. I have this disabled - a side effect of this is that I don't have to use the Safely Remove Hardware icon before disconnecting the player (as long as I'm sure it is not being written to at the time).
To disable write caching:
Open My Computer and right click on the dri've letter for your player, choosing Properties.</LI>
On the Hardware tab click on the N200 and choose Properties again.</LI>
On the Properties page choose the Policies tab and select Optimize for quick removal.</LI>
