X-Fi Extreme Music Card not detected by Creative driver installation

? Abit An-M2HD MOBO. I have x-fi music card (used). XP loads OK -- after failing a few times - - but can't install drivers, SB install program says no supported device detected. I see many posts about Nvidia N-Force chip boards having this problem, but I can't find one with a clearly identified solution. I do not have the problem with a million instances of multimedia listed -- just get a generic multi-media audio device with no ability to install drivers. I've tried using windows auto install, no dice, and both stand alone drivers and a creative install disc.
Is there a fix? I don't want to reinstall windows, too much trouble. I'll sell the card before I get into that.
Thanks
Arnstein

Just an update for anyone having to deal with the same issue:
everything works fine with the new beta driver 2.4.000.
Thanks to Creative.

Sound Blaster Extreme Music do not detect changes on the console

I'm using the sound blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic with Logitech Z-5500 and the Flexi Jack, connected on Digital mode (Using Coaxial and Optical). The OS? Is Windows Vista Ultimate 32 Bits.
The problem at this moment is that I can not make any change on the console configuration, I mean, if I change the speaker connection or change any parameter of the configuration has no reaction,I even change the EAX effects, the CMSS-3D ad nothing happen, all that I can control with the console launcher is the volume.
I reinstall the drivers and download from the website the latest drivers I found and same problem.
?Any help?
THANKS?

Choose Soundblaster in the dropdown box and you will see XFi listed , you will find the latest drivers there....Seems rather strange to me since this is a XFi card, but hey I did not design the Website......

This X-FI Extreme Music Card is Crap!!

&This X-FI Extreme Music Card is Crap!!Y I am totally fed up with this card AND Creative Labs!! I have tried every single way possible to install this software without success. I have installed and uninstalled the software 20 times, each time I install it gives me a different result...How is that possible? I've installed in regular mode, safe mode, standing on one leg, etc. This thing has not worked right EVER!!! Support is non-existent unless you try the forums....so Creative expects us to solve problems for them? I installed the automatic update feature at their request, updated everything, and then went to the Creative website and found out the update feature doesn't even work for Vista! WTF?!? I had to BUY the software CD for Vista from Creative and THAT didn't work right. THEY ALL HAVE TO BE ON DRUGS!!! THIS IS BY FAR THE WORST PIECE OF HARDWARE I HAVE EVER PURCHASED!

That's right, I did buy it from Dell, BUT, I did some checking and the only thing Dell did was include a audio cable that would make it work in one of their systems....No mod to the board. Dell told me to contact Creative for an RMA. Ceati've said 'Sorry, we can't do that because the card could've been altered, BUT, we'll be happy to sell you another one!" So I'm stuck with it. I? installed running XP on my computer but never had it working right (continual errors, mixer would not lauch,etc.) and then I upgraded to Vista. I went to the Ceati've website to find drivers and found out I had to buy a CD for $0. OK. I get the disk and install...uninstall, try safe mode, try normal mode again, get it to work but no spidf or coax. I can't change my speakers to 5. because it's stuck on 2. ( except one time I installed and it showed 5. in game mode but 2. in the other two modes). Tried taking out all but GB of RAM. I tried every concievable way to get a good install with no luck. My experiences with this card is not unique. I have found other people having the exact same problems with this card and Vista. What I don't understand is why every time I uninstall and re-install the software it does something different ( some features install one time, the next install those don't but others do). I tried Driver Sweeper...no go. THIS IS WHY I'M PI*@ED OFF! If anyone can think of something to do I am more than willing to try it. Am I just a dumb *** or [email protected]

Creative MediaSource not detecting my creative zen to

I'm having trouble with my Creative Zen Touch. In Creative MediaSource, in the sources part on the left hand side, it does not detect my Creative Zen Touch and therefore i cannot transfer music. Any help would be much appreciated. PS when i plug my Creative Zen Touch into the computer using the usb port, the computer detects the device and i have an option to "take no action" or "Transfer files using Windows Media Player".

I am also having this problem, but in order to download from the zen to the pc, I will have to have everything erased off the Zen, and there is an important recording I want to load to my PC first. There is no where in my creative media source since I updated my firmware to load from Zen to PC like there used to be. Any suggestions?
Thank you.

IBook Not Detecting Internal Hard Drive

So, this morning my computer started acting slowly, and apps started freezing. I restarted, and to my horror found that it wouldn't boot. It starts, and the screen is gray, but then nothing happens. I have discovered that the problem must be the iBook not detecting the hard drive. I booted into a linux live CD, and found that it could access the HD. Then when I turned my comp off, and went into select boot drive mode by holding option on startup, I found that no hard drives were listed to boot from. I have also tried connecting to my computer via firewire from another computer, and that couldn't detect it either. What is the problem here? I am becoming very nervous all my work is on there. Thanks for the help.

Try booting from the Apple Restore disk and run the Apple Hardware Test that is on that disk. I fear that it may confirm a failure of your hard drive, but you never know until you try.

M2N78-LA Motherboard BIOS did not detect any Hard Drive

Hi,
I have M2N78-LA Motherboard and the BIOS did not detect ANY hard drive
I tried
1- Replaced the HD with another one. did not work
2- Changed the jumper of HD. did not work
3- Changed the SATA data cable and power cable. did not work.
4- Reset the BIOS by removing the battery and also by positioning the cmos jumber. did not work.
I still all time get no hard drive detected, and some time jam on Detecting storage devices ....
then after hours get no booting device.
Any Idea will be good

M2N78-LA Motherboard BIOS did not detect any Hard Drive, does anyone have an answer to this problem.

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.

SanDisk microSD card not detected

Greetings,
My 8900 model is not detecting the 2 GB microSD card I just purchased for it. I have triple checked the insertion, rebooted the device, updated the software, reformatted the card on my PC, and set the Memory options to automatically detect and use a media card once inserted.
Can anyone tell me why the card is still not being detected? Many thanks!

Also keep in mind that what ever else you have stored on the phone memory will limit the amount of messages as the phone memory is a shared space.
Contacts, Images, Ringtones, Music, Calendar entries and other things stored on the phone memory limits the space left to be use by messages. Go to your gallery and see what you have stored in phone memory and try to put it on the memory card instead.
You can also try to do the following :
Menu->Gallery->Options->Memory Status->Phone Memory
You should get a break down of the usage as in :
Free Memory : x.xxMB
Gallery : x.xxMB
Messaging : x.xxMB
Applications : x.xxMB
Bookmarks : x.xxMB
Knowledge should be your Advisor when you need help.

X-Fi Extreme Music card causes system crashes Windows Event ID 1

I have a Dell computer running Win XP Home. After installing my new?X-Fi ExtremeMusic card my system gives me the following error at startup:"? Microsoft Windows
The system has recovered from a serious error.
A log of this error has been created. "?This error message does not have any supporting detail so I usually close the error message box and continue to use Windows. However after a few hours the system will suddenly crash. The Windows System Log shows:?Source? System ErrorCategory? 02Event ID? 003Error Code? 000008e?When I removed the XtremeMedia card from the computer the problems stopped. I am using the most recent driver available for this card that I downloaded from the Creative website on Jan-5-2007. Can anyone help.
? If I cannot get this card to work properly can I get a refund ? I have only had it 5 days.
Message Edited by cvw on 0-09-200707:04 AM

You are wrong. The 2.3 are for extreme music, you are thinking about extreme audio. Creative have really made a blunder with these names, not strange many are having problems. Propably trying to install extreme audio drivers on extreme music, and the other way around!?
Check that you have the right drivers, if you do. Try the trick where you unpack the driver exe file, so you get all the files from the installer on to a folder of youre choosing. Then use the "Creative Update Utility" popup to install/force the drivers to install. If you dont know what im talking about, search the forums, its been explained many times here.

PCMCIA Realtek Ethernet card not detected

Hi, I'm trying to use a PCMCIA Etherner Card with Realtek chip.
If the card it's already plugged when booting, Udev takes 180000 ms to finish and the card doesn't work. If it's plugged while booted, dmesg shows that there's a "something" at SmartCardBus but, again, card doesn't get recognized.
"Ifconfig -a" shows nothing, and I know the card works 'cause I've tryed with an Ubuntu cd and the cards works perfect. I've looked for the modules, and 8139too & 8139cp where loaded, wich I've tryed in arch and still doesn't work, It also detects the same hardware with lspci (Arch detects the Cardbus but not the realtek card, Ubuntu detects both) and lspcmcia.
Ubuntu is using kernel 2.6.27-7 and Arch 2.6.28.

Booted into Arch Overlod cd and a simple lspci show my shiny new card...Now i'm going to erase my hole system (it was new anyway) and check if a Suy breaks the drivers again. In that case, i should file a bug somewhere, right?

After Security Update 2010-001: Airport Card Not Detected

Currently running OS X 10.5.8 on a Mid 2009 MacBook Pro.
Here's the issue. When I boot up the machine and click the AirPort drop down it tells me that there is no airport card detected. Under system profiler it says the same thing. If I boot to a 10.6 Mac OS Install DVD and open system profiler, the AirPort card is detected. This occurred after a reboot prompted by the Security Update 2010-001.
So far I have repaired permissions and repaired disk. No fix.
I reset the PRAM/NVRAM and SMC. No fix.
I booted to an OS X image on an external drive. No fix.
I cannot boot to the Apple Hardware Test (D at startup) because my company requires PGP disk encryption. I could decrypt but this would take at least 6 hours (not counting re-encrypting afterwards).
I tried replacing the extensions. No fix.
There were no firmware updates applied or any other major OS updates.
Anyone have anything else I can attempt?

anyone else see that??
Yes, Already covered in full here. Strange but no problem.
