X-fi fatality sound card compatible with nforce

?I have spent an entire week trying to get my x-fi fatality sound card to work on my Nforce 2 Abit NF7-S2 motherboard. Does x-fi support Nforce 2 mobos or am I just wasting my time?. I have had serious issues getting the drivers to install and when I finally got them to install in safe mode,? windows?didnt list the device?under device manager?and the board wouldnt recognize the card in bios. I have?cleared my cmos?updated by bios and?tried the clean boot?install creative suggest, disabled onboard sound in bios/device manager, upgraded to sp2,? used driver cleaner, and switched pci slots. After I install the drivers and reboot the system it just hangs and wont boot to windows. The only thing i havent tried is reformatting and reinstalling windows but i need to know if its a compatibility issue. errors I had-windows is unable to detect supported device-the file catac32k.sys on creative install disk?is needed?system specAbit NF7-S2 nvidia nforce 2 motherboardamd 3200 barton core 32 bit's gig corsair 84 pin pc3200 ram250 gig western digital sata hd?bfg 7800 gs oc video card? agp with XTreem-G 97.92 driversantec smart power 500 watt psuwindows xp pro sp2x-fi fatality sound cardMessage Edited by brown87 on 02-25-20070:03 PM

Ok thanks, good to know I have a chance at this. I will see if I can install in a different machine incase the cards defecti've. The strange part about this install is that windows couldnt find the card if I had my on board sound disabled in bios or in device manager. Windows would recognize the new hardware found and it showed up under device manager but after the drivers were installed it no longer showed up in device manager.

  • Need Sound Card Compatible With Intel D975XBX Mobo and Windows 7

    Did a search and no joy. I built a home theater computer about 5 years ago around the D975XBX,? I was using the Sigmatel integrated sound via toslink to my receiver without any problems. I installed W7 yesterday only to find that there are no Intel mobo drivers for W7. So before I go throught he hassle and expense of replacing the mobo and processor, are there any sound cards that are compatible with this mobo and W7? I don't do gaming on this machine, or 3D, mainly 5. out to my receiver. Thanks.
    Tim?

    DWell, I'll answer my own question. Finding it very hard to belei've that a driver wasn't available for the Sigmatel, I upgraded the Bios, then did another seach. Cha-ching, money!
    I really like SB cards, but I don't like spending money when I don't have to.
    Even though Intel said it stopped supporting?the mono?in '08, the bios was an '09 version. This may be helpful to others who are using this mobo.

  • Is Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 NX USB sound card compatible with Dell deskt

    Im considering buying the Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 NX USB sound card to use with a Dell desktop XPS 40, but recently read a forum message on another page that there was a issue with installing on a Dell Tower but no problems with installing on a laptop
    any help is appreciated if there are any compatibility issues with using this sound card on a Dell desktop, Thanks
    the main reason I would like to upgrade to this card is so my pc doesnt use the integrated audio which Id like better quality performance with a sound card and also dont want to install a internal card on the system

    joaolfb,
    Audigy 2 NX will need to be connected with the power adaptor inorder to run. USB will not be enough to sustain the power consumption of the sound card.

  • Audigy 2 ZS notebook sound card compatible with Lenovo X6

    I have to admit I probably made a mistake for rushing to?EBAY to get a creative Audigy 2 ZS notebook sound card, which?is intended to be used for my Lenovo X6t tablet pc. The problem is I just did some research and found my PCMCIA driver "RICOH R/RL/5C476(II)" is sitting?on their list of incompatibility.
    Do anyone have any experience on this matter? It is true it really will not work?
    Please help.

    Simple problem... The soundcard is playing a sound appx. second after the sound is actually supposed to play. When I take out the card, everything is fine. Anyone know the fix? Thanks.
    Do you mean you can hear the sound even Audigy is not connected? --> if yes, then just disable the onboard sound (from BIOS or/and device manager).
    If you're playing some external instrument (etc.) or from some audio/media player then, it's latency question --> try w/ ASIO (you need to cahnge to the advanced mode) latency set around 0ms or decrease buffer size on playback software.

  • Is NVIDIA GeForce 6600 card compatible with OpenGL 2.0?

    Hi there -
    Is my GeForce 6600 card compatible with openGL 2.0?
    I have some software that tells me it is not and I've just spent lots of money buying it - I did make a quick check on-line before making my software purchase and found out that the whole 6000 series was compatible.
    Reading again it says it has been OK for 2.1 from June 2006 onwards. I bought my Mac in May 2006
    Can I install a new driver or something (almost sounds like I know what I'm talking about)?
    If so is this something I can do or do I have to take my whole machine to the hospital?
    I'm not that confident messing with too much technical stuff so treat me like an idiot ... please!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi-
    Back from work......
    BD has you going the right direction on RAM.
    CS4 needs as much RAM as you can throw at it.
    Buy only guaranteed Mac compatible RAM.
    As for hard drive, getting a TB or so for storage is great, but you also need a fast scratch drive, separate from the system drive.
    Improvements to hard drive technology have been made since the G5 was released, so replacing the system drive with a new one is a good idea.
    For the fastest system drive, which helps overall performance, the Western Digital Velociraptor 300GB is an ideal candidate.
    For more of a budget drive, but still fast, a WD6400AAKS 640GB drive is an overall winner, with fast read and write times, and all that capacity confined to two platters in the drive.
    This is one of the keys to the drives performance prowess.
    For scratch, you will have large files that are written, changed, erased, as filters, etc. are applied.
    PS gobbles drive space even more than it eats RAM.
    Again, the WD6400AAKS, or a WD1001FALS 1TB drive is what you should look at.
    And when we talk scratch drives, I mean that it does nothing else.
    Not for file storage, etc.
    File storage needs to be relegated to a third drive for system optimization.
    To recap, a fast boot drive (OS and applications only), a scratch drive, and as many file storage drives as you need for multiple copies (min 2) of all work.
    As for graphics card, yes there is improvement to be had, especially with regard to OpenGL support in CS4.
    PS also leverages the GPU of the graphics card, so power is desired.
    A Mac 7800GT, Radeon X1900 G5 Edition, or a flashed Geforce 7800GTX are the three top performing cards.
    A Geforce FX4500 is also a possible candidate if your pockets are very deep.
    http://www.jcsenterprises.com/Japamacs_Page/Blog/71BBF3EF-9713-4C53-8B80-26771F8 A4087.html
    Of the three cards, the 7800GTX is the top card, and is relatively easy to find. The 512MB version is the most desirable.
    You will be looking on eBay for Mac compatible PCIe graphics cards in one of the flavors that I have named.

  • Is the FX5200-T128 video card compatible with an Athlon 64 CPU and a K8N mobo?

    I am building a new computer based on the Athlon 64 3000 processor and the mobo MSI K8N Neo-FSR.
    I intended to use MSI MS-8907 GeForce FX5200-T128 as the video card.
    However I have been told that this video card might not be compatible either with the Athlon 64 processors or with the mobo MSI K8N Neo-FSR.
    Is it compatible or not?
    If it's not compatible, what is the cheapest MSI video card compatible with the Athlon 64 and the K8N?
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    If it's there, it means they at least inserted the card, booted, and installed drivers, as far as what they do from that point is anyones guess. You will see the far right column shows 4x or 8x.
    I agree, it is minimal info at best and not my idea of what should be included in a test report.
    I don't see any reason why that card would not work, the market is saturated with that type of card.

  • Is DeckLink card Compatible with FMLE?

    Black Magic Design.
    DeckLink Studio
    Full Resolution SD/HD SDI & Analog Editing Card
    i am using this card for streaming in flash media live encoder.
    Please confirm, is this card compatible with FMLE.
    and operating system windows vista.
    Regards
    Sheeraz Kaleem

    FMLE 3.0 works with Black Magic Decklink and Intensity Pro cards on SD sizes only
    FMLE 2.5 works with these cards at HD sizes but because of single core support of Resize Filter and VP6 encoder in FMLE 2.5, you will not be able to get desired Output FPS at HD sizes from FMLE 2.5 also.
    So if we you are planning to run these cards at SD sizes then you can go for these devices.
    These cards are right now not in certified list of devices of FMLE but many people have tried these cards at SD sizes and they worked fine for them at SD sizes.
    FMLE 3.0 not supporting BlackMagic HD sizes is a bug

  • Is the AT-MIO-16E-2 ISA card compatible with a Pentium III 1GHz with a 133MHz bus?

    Is the AT-MIO-16E-2 ISA card compatible with a Pentium III 1GHz with a 133MHz bus? The system has an ISA slot available but I'm afraid the bus speed is too fast for this old card. Do I need to buy a new PCI card to work in this system?

    Hello;
    As long as your machine has a ISA slot and that the NI-DAQ driver is properly installed on it, you shouldn't have any problems with it.

  • "A How-To" on the steps to FIX the Problem of NO Sound Card DETECTION with AUDIGY 2 and Win XP

    Note#: When restarting the PC each time, shut off the main power switch on the Power Supply then back on.
    Note#2: You will need the Windows XP CD WITH the SP2 on it or have the download SP2 Install file from MS on your PC. I have it on CD.
    . Remove the sound Card
    2. Use the Removal/Un-installation Procedures for the drivers in Knowledge Base Under Windows XP Step by step. Restart to get all the files deleted in the Creative folder if necessary.
    Here is the (Solution ID#) for the Uninstallaion found in the Creative.com Knowledge Base: SID72 "How to uninstall Sound Blaster drivers and applications?"
    Alternati'vely, Click on the Sound Blaster Picture Box under the Knowledge Base Main Search Page and the article should be in the resulting list.
    3. Use the DCProSetup_.exe from http://files.trunetworks.com/utilities/
    Use it carefully Selecting [Creative] then Check the box for Muntiple Cleaning Filters, and remove the Creative Audio Drivers by Clicking on Start.
    4. Go into the Registry by Typing Regedit in the Start>Run.. Menu
    Navigate and remove the Entry for CTCMSGo.exe, it is running in the back ground otherwise and i believe it interrupts the re-installation of MediaSource Files.
    HKEY_CURRENT USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
    The file link/tag, it will be on the right half of the screen, Delete it. CTCMSGo.exe=(Creative Technologies Media Source Go)
    5. Restart the PC, dont forget to switch Power Supply to off while powered down and on before powering back up.
    6.Go to the Win XP SP2 CD or the file downloaded, select re-install but choose UPDATE, not New Installation. Let the Install run and update your pc, this procedure has no data loss or settings changes in Windows.
    7. Restart PC
    8. Turn off PC and install the Audigy 2 Card. Then turn on the PC. At this point you might get a plxcore.plx Error of file missing. Not to worry.. copy the file from within the Creative Drivers CD and paste it into the Creative Folder In C:\Program Files\Creative
    The Knowledge base Article on the steps is: SID287 "Error: Program could not load because Plxcore.plx cannot be found"
    9. Power up and see if you get PCI Device, and Audio Controller Detetion. If you dont then do the following:
    A) Remove the Sound Card and Re-install the Win XP SP2 Update a number of times ( I did this about 5 times until detection) Each time restart and install the Sound Card into any of the empty PCI Ports until detection.
    If that does not work after a number of times try the following:
    B)Power off and switch the PCI slot of the Sound Card (to all the PCI slots if necessary with complete power off each time) Without Re-installing XP SP2 Update.
    0. After you get Detection, The Windows Auto Installer for Drivers will pop up..select Find Drivers Automatically, then Install then install the drivers it finds. It will put in some basic Audigy Drivers from the CD or online i'm not sure where it gets them from. Keep your Driver CD in the CD Dri've.
    .Restart the PC, then install the Drivers and Media Source Files from the CD (it may not all get installed and may give an error and you have to shut down and re-install the drivers and Media Source over again and over again so it fills in the gap of missing files/drivers until it all works without deleting the previously installed parts).
    2. Only install this update from the File/ Downloads Section on the Creative website: EAX4DRV_AUDIGY2__84_50.exe Dated 29 July 04. The new beta one that was released is what started all my troubles, so plz i urge you to wait for it to be official.. unless you really want to test it out at your risk.
    And there you have it.. in 8 Hours and some ideas from friends and relati'ves concerning detection problems of other hard ware they have had i decided to play Roulette all night and this combo works. I had to play Roulette switching the PCI slots (5 of them), and then towards the end play Roulette with the Creative Driver CD install... until they all work perfectly. WHEW!!!
    Notice: I hope if you are really ticked off at having no sounds and want to try this at your own risk and responsiblity go ahead, and I wish you luck. None of the proedures are too out of the ordinary. I dont know if it will work for you but it worked for me and maybe it will possibly for other similar Sound Cards as well.. like ZS or Li've! etc. with similar problems. Happy Sound Blasting!!!

  • Skype can't detect sound card, issue with playback...

    Hello
    I have just received my Razer kraken 7.1 headset and have installed razer synapse 2.0. I have set up my mic and speakers of the headset through the control panel, my playback is set as the razer kraken 7.1 earphone and the mic is set as the headset microphone through the recording tab. When I launch skype there is no sound produce through the application, however with previous headsets there has been, I have tried going on youtube to see if sound comes through the headset and it does. Previously I have been using a turtle beach z11 which used 3.5mm jacks in to the computer however this new headset is usb operated. When skype opens and I try to call someone it says problem with playback device meaning I can't call anyone at all. However when checking call quality it says everything is working fine even though it isn't.
    So far I have tried re-installing skype and restarting my pc none of this has worked so far, I know this isn't likely a fault with the headset as it works with all other programmes I have tried.
    I am using a custom built pc with
    OS: WIN7 64 BIT Home Premium
    GPU: AMD HD7950
    CPU: i5-3550
    RAM: 8gb 1333mhz
    Motherboard: Asus p67 series
    Sound card: Onboard 7.1 audio
    Any help with my problems would be much appreciated.
    -Thanks
    George Snell

    @gsnell, Please setup your audio device directly in Skype and not only in the windows playback/record interface.
    Also, please try to quit synapse 2.0 since it may interfere with Skype.
    Also please try with the latest 6.13 version 
    www.skype.com/en/download-skype/skype-for-windows/downloading/
    if nothing helps, Can you please provide logs as described in this link https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12321/how-do-i-create-log-files under Skype for Windows Desktop and attach it to your post?

  • Is the Intel I340-T4 Ethernet card compatible with LabView 8.6?

    We are currently looking in to having our LabView program process the output of two Allied Vision cameras, run through a PCI GigE card.
    On our old machine (32-bit Vista), we have a PRO/1000 PT Quad working just fine with the LabView interface - and we want to upgrade to a better PC with 64-bit Win 7.
    We are under the impression that PRO/1000 PT is not compatible with Win 7, and were looking into either I340 quad-port adapters:
    http://ark.intel.com/products/49186/Intel-Ethernet-Server-Adapter-I340-T4
    Does anyone have any insight as to the compatibilities of the Intel 82580 controllers with LabView 8.6? 

    Hi Civa,
    Scott here from AVT technical support.   You are correct re. that PT card not being Win7 compatible.  Here's a link to our current recommendations for NICs and switches.
    http://www.alliedvisiontec.com/fileadmin/content/PDF/Support/Application_Notes/Hardware_Selection_fo...
    If it's NOT in that list, it doesn't mean it won't work, merely that we haven't tested it and do not know.  We do not attempt to test every 3rd party product on the market.
    And our testing is typical with AVT SDKs not with Labview, though there are thousands of joint AVT / NI customers, and we'd have heard by now if there were any conflicts, I am confident.
    Regards,
    Scott

  • Need to generate a continuous sine signal to sound card output with volume control

    Could you please explain in greater detail what you mean by "the volume control sucks"? The volume control is a Double Precision Float data type not an Integer. By accuracy, do you mean that you are trying to get greater precision? If you mean that the example simply is not loud enough at the maximum volume, you can increase the amplitude of the sine wave. I hope that helps!

  • Help, need a card compatible with the Platinum Live bay that uses the SB Live E400 midi dri

    Help , have just got a used Soundblaster Li've Platinum card and i/o bay to ease in the production of backing tracks for li've gigs etc, my old card is a li've value soundblaster that uses a Midi driver called SB Li've E400 in addition to the Sb Li've A400 and the B400 which i used to assign soundfonts etc because they are not suitable for bass and drums ,very soft sounding but i need the Sb Li've E400 to get the loud and powerful drum and bass sounds so important for my work, the Platinum set has a card Model number sb0060 and the midi input driver is called MIDI UART with midi outputs being Sb Li've UART which results in no audio o/p if assigned to a midi channel and the Li've synth A and B ,similiar to my li've value card . my Soundblaster value card is a sb0220? allthough the Platinum card is great for plugging guitars straight in and the optical output is great for recording onto mindisc the sound quality is crap,not in the same class as my old li've value card? anyone got any ideas,dont know where to go next? Cheers George.

    wouldnt put 2 sound cards in but you could try attaching the sb li've dri've to card, it will either work or it ownt, it will not work with remote, but it may just work as an io panle for your mid etc..
    However if it was my hardware i would try as thats my right and my hardware i may break, so you would do this at your own risk.
