XP not recognizing sound card

I have a Soundblaster Li've! Gamer edition card (something like that). Recently I installed a program called Zappit!, and I ran that. Well as soon as I restarted my computer I found that my sound quality had gone down the hole. I looked into my sound hardware folder and it's showing Creative EMU0K Audio Processor and Creative SBLi've! Gameport both with driver versions 5.2 installed. None of my codecs seem to be working properly, but I'm unaware if they are related to the issue.
I'm assuming the program I downloaded also got rid of some important sound file or driver or whatever, and now I'm wondering what I should do in order to fix this. I dowloaded the card driver off of soundblaster and when I try to run it the program says there is no soundblaster card in my system. I've also tried uninstalling the drivers, and every time I think I've done so, when I restart and go to the hardware manager it always says that the card still has the drivers installed. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.Message Edited by Slinky25252 on 08-3-200708:0 AM

First of all uninstall the software that gave you the problem, next uninstall all creative software and sound drivers. "See below" for instructions on how to uninstall the sound drivers, under " PCI Sound Blaster Cards". This will show you in detail what to do.

Older iMac not recognizing AirPort card

I manually installed an AirPort Extreme card in my G4 iMac. I followed the instructions exactly. However, it's not showing up anywhere in the Network Preferences. It's like I never installed it. I think I did everything right, I even went back and did it again, still to no avail.
Is there something I'm missing here? Remove screws, plug in card, restart computer, right?
Part of what be my problem is I'm using a newer iMac that does have an AirPort card built-in as a base station, (or, at least, that's the plan- is nothing showing up because I don't have a real base station?). Maybe I'm totally wrong about all this, but I don't think that should stop my computer from not recognizing the card.
It is an older card, bought refurbished from the Apple Online Store.

Which G4 iMac did you install the card into? Does it have a clock speed of 1 GHz or faster? Click on the Apple menu and select "About this Mac".
Assuming the clock speed is 1 GHz or faster, run System Profiler and look in the "AirPort:" field. If the card is not recognized, the field will be blank.

400 mhz G4 PB not recognizing Airport card

HELP!!! i'm a PC girl learning Mac, and bought a used G4 powerbook to try it out. I then purchased a used Airport card to go wireless. However the computer is not recognizing the card. It is installed correctly- barcode up, all the way in, but no go. Is there anyway to test (like will a trip to the Apple store help or will they look at me like i'm from the dark ages?) the computer or the card? I was going to attempt to harvest the card from my snow base station but don't have a star tip for my screwdriver to get into the thing. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!!! THANKS!

Thanks brody. That is the card I have. I was guessing at the OX I have as I bought this machine used and truly have no idea where to find half the stuff much less what it is. since I figured out where to find it, I'm running 10.4.11.
I appreciate everyone's help. I've had the hardest time figuring out just which model I have. i've yet to find a picture just like it. I'm not even sure it's a 12, since dummy me didn't realize they're like tv's and measured diagonally. I think it might actually be a 15 inch if that makes a difference. 2 hinges in the back, all the ports in the back under a cover (I must have looked rather comical until I figured that one out) card slot is on the left side, dvd drive in the front. I was told it was a titanium but honestly it didn't matter to me so I didnt' check to make sure. I just wanted something relatively cheap to see if I really liked a mac before i plunked down a couple of thousand on a new one. It wasn't until I had trouble with the card that I found out all these different ones existed.
also, it looks like there are actually 2 slots to the card reader, although I cannot access it from the battery bay. The slot I can access that the card does actually fit in is from the left outside. the other slot is under it (I can see it with the keyboard off and the card removed) and looks as thought the card would be inserted similar to the one i can use, except the body of the powerbook is in the way. I'm afraid to do much more than I have hardware wise as my PC kicked the bucket so this is my only working computer right now. Let me know what you guys think!!
THANKS!!!

Iphone not recognizing SIM card

Since I bought my Iphone about 5 months ago, a few times it would say that there is no SIM card inserted, when in fact there had been one. I would remove and reinsert the card or do a hard shut down and restart and the problem would go away. Yesterday, as I was scanning my applications a error message came on saying it did not recognize a network. Then I noticed the functions on would not work. Basically it froze. So I restarted it. Once the apple logo went off there was an icon of a USB to be connected to iTunes, with no other functions working. I then patched it to my laptop and the error message on the laptop said that there was no SIM card in the Iphone. thinking its a SIM card problem I inserted someone elses SIM in my iphone. Same problem. I inserted my SIM in another iphone. No problem. It was not a SIM card issue. Without the iphone recognizing the SIM card the phone could not even be reset.
I took the phone to the Service provider in Malaysia MAXIS. They said the iphone is defective and had to be taken in for repair. The problem is they will most probably replace the phone, However there policy with Apple they say is that I have to WAIT 6-8 WEEKS for a new set. How ridiculous is that?
The worry I have now is that all my apps that I bought, what will happen to them? All the online games that I have been leveling up for months, what happens there? I could never sync my phone with my laptop when it came to the apps. It just would not sync!
It is disappointing to think that Apple does not have a solution to customer software and program issues.

You're right - it is ridiculous however thats not a decision made by Apple, but by Maxis. If Apple were asked to rpovide immediate replacements, they would do so and Maxis would have to pay the price. Under warranty, in other countries we can go into an Apple store and get an immediate replacement.

BB Pearl not Recognizing Media Card

I have a 2GB Kingston MicroSD card installed in my BB. It has been working fine for the past month or so (since I got the phone) and has 4 or 5 pictures and another 5 of 6 ringtones stored on it. Earlier this week, I had been hooking the phone up to the computer using the USB cable and it would prompt me if I wanted to access the media. I would say no and go on from there. Then Wednesday, all of a sudden the BB started no longer recognizing the card. Today, I went into the settings and they are:
Media Card Support - On
Encryption Mode - None
Mass Storage Mode Support - On
Auto Enable Mass Storage Mode When Connected - Prompt
A media card is not presently inserted in the device.
I take the media card out and plug it into the computer and it is still showing all the files on there. When I plug the phone into the computer, it is not being recognized by the computer.
Any suggestions?

IPhone 5 not recognizing SIM card, I can't activate the phone.

Hi, everybody.
A couple of days ago, I bought an iPhone 5 from a friend. I have an iPhone 4 and, as you know, they both have different SIM card sizes (4 uses micro size and 5 uses nano size). When I got the iPhone 5, I restored it to factory settings, but couldn't activate it 'cause I didn't have the nano SIM card (or SIM nano card, anyhow it goes), so I just turned it off. Next morning, I went to my mobile carrier to buy a nano SIM card (they took like 28 hours long to activate it…anyway) but the iPhone is not recognizing it, so I cannot activate it.
I've gotten stuck in the white "Hello" screen for like 3 days already and I'm running desperate 'cause I wanna use my stupid iPhone 5…
Please, guys, any help?
EDIT: It cannot be restored via iTunes 'cause I get a screen saying that there's no SIM card in the iPhone I'm attempting to activate. The friend who sold me the phone showed me a way to restore it on the phone itself, without having to send the command through iTunes 'cause he said that from iPhone 4S onwards all phones have to be restored with a SIM card inserted. Thing is, I tried this two or three times on the iPhone 5 but the device still doesn't recognize the stupid SIM…

EDIT 2: It cannot be restored via iTunes 'cause I get a screen message saying that there's no SIM card in the iPhone I'm attempting to activate. The friend who sold me the phone showed me a method for restoring it on the phone itself, without having to send the command through iTunes (connect the phone to computer, turn it off, hold both Home and Power buttons until the Apple logo disappears, release the Power button without releasing Home button, iTunes shows a message about an iPhone in restoring mode, restore, etc.). Thing is, I tried this two or three times on the iPhone 5 but the device still doesn't recognize the stupid SIM…
Please, help

Not finding Sound card

I have just bought a P6206 desktop with Windows7 installed. It has the integrated Realtek sound chip
The sound works with no problems, in that I get system sounds, it plays CDs and DVDs. Skype and Messenger work , and I can play sounds from the internet.
However, I have installed several amateur radio digital programs and the sound doesn't work. They show these error messages:
Digipan. Sound card is already in use or does not exist.
MMSSTV. Can't open sound card (-1)
fldigi. E: init_stream: Could not find device "", using default device. (Drive E is my DVD drive, my hard drive is drive C)
I'm not running Media Player, or any sound programs.
They worked on my old computer which ran XP.
Please can anyone help with some advice?
Many thanks
Keith

I know it is difficult not to compare Win7 to XP, but there is a major difference. Many programs that run great with XP, may not work at all with Win7. I would try updating the sound driver. You may have to use Windows Update to find it. Hopefully, this won't effect the functions that are working properly.

Sd card reader on MBP not recognizing SD card

The SD card reader on my MBP is not recognizing a new SD card. I have tried taking it out and putting it back in. I looked in disk utility, but do not see it listed. "I also tried image capture. What else can I try?

If you have photos on the SD card try using Image Capture to download the photos to a folder on the Desktop before you reformat the card with the camera.

PC does not recognize sound card

Hi,
I'm trying to install a Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI Express into a HP xw-4300 Workstation (Windows XP sp3), so far with little success.
I had an old Sound blaster PCI card in it, IIRC, a PCI card installed in this PC automatically disables the onboard sound card.
So far this is what I have tried,
Shut down PC, remove old card, install new card ,reboot, cancel the "Install new hardware", install drivers, reboot. No sound. I then run the X/Fi update and the associated programs, reboot, still no sound. I try to run any of the associated programs ans they each say there is no card found.
Try above process again but this time I chose to schedule an update and it says it recognizes the X/Fi card.
I then noticed the onboard card is again working, and figured this was my problem. I looked in the bios for a way to turn the onboard sound off and found nothing. After some research I found I needed to remove the drivers, So first I put the old SB card in and uninstalled the drivers for that card through Device Manager. Now that the PCI card was gone, the Realtek Drivers were accessible to be uninstalled.
Now I install the X/Fi card and reboot. I went back to the original installation as per Creative's manual and still nothing.
Reboot, This time when the "new Hardware" came up I ran it in hopes that it would connect the card to the already loaded drivers. Instead the new hardware found, appears to have been the onboard sound and loaded the drivers for it.
Anyone have any suggestions on how to disable the onboard and get this card to run?
Thanks

Try this and see if it works.
With the card removed, go into Device Manager and DISABLE the drivers for the working audio device. Then power off the PC, install the new card and power up. You should not have any sound at this point. Now install the Creative software and reboot. Check the Creative web sites for updates.

@Sarahmarie
You can try out this process and see if it helps:
Troubleshooting Audio Problems with External Speakers, Headphones, and HDMI Sound Devices
I assume that you probably already have seen this, but for your convenience, here is the support page for your notebook: HP 15-r029wm Notebook PC Drivers
The newest audio driver I could find there for your notebook has these parameters:
Released: 2014-02-21
Version 6.0.1.7156
Realtek High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver
The version number matches the one you gave but the date is different.
You can always try the Realtek site, for their drivers, however, they are not going to be customized to match the components in your notebook, but you could try and then go back if it does not help.

Just got new phone, not recognizing SM card?

Hi I just bought the droid incredible 2 by HTC and received it yesterday. I tried to take a picture and it told me there was no SM CARD. But there is one, its just not being recognized?? any suggestions would be great

I can understand how frustrating this could be. It is a good measure to take out the card and reinsert it. Since that didn’t work then (leave the card in the phone) go to settings> sd & phone storage> pressmountsdcard. This should resolve your issue. If that doesn’t work I would try a different sd card. I hope this helps. Thanks.
