Z97 Gaming 7 Sound Blaster Cinema not working

Hi Guys,
i m having the same problem with most people.. with SBC
i can;'t get SBC working.. always show " the current selected audio is disabled.. blah blah blah.."
 click "yes"
"no supported audio device available"
Tried with the following steps already:
1.uninstall SBC,
2. restart
3. uninstall realtak audio drive
4.restart
5. manually remove all audio drives in device manager
6. install realtak audio drive
7. restart
8. install SBC
9. restart
10. now audio drive does show Realtak audio drive, but SBC still not working, same pop-up prompt.
anyone have any idea how to get it work?
or does it matter if i dont use SBC?

Just checked the BIOS Section if any Z97 BIOS's are showing up yet. For flashing I trust the forum's USB method over anything else. In the interim, I have used M-Flash with a bootable USB stick using the BIOS + ME choice on Z87 without a problem prior to the forum offering the file archives.

  • SB04100 Sound Blaster Card not working after computer rebuild

    =SB0400 Sound Blaster Card not working after computer rebuildZ I did a full disk format and reinstall for a friend on a Dimension 3000, running XP SP3. There is no sound at all. Speakers are good, tested on another system. Model number on the back of the sound card is SB0400, so I assume this is an older 24 bit PCI SoundBlaster card. Although I reinstalled all drivers from Dell, I found no drivers for this. The Creative site has no listing for this model.
    Computer does not seem to recognize the card. Have not opened the box yet but I assume if I were to remove and then reinstall the card it would be recognized (?) I then have to find an SB0400 driver.
    Does anyone know where I can find an SB0400 driver ? Does the strategy of pulling and reinstalling the card make sense ? (I have really avoided tampering with any of the hardware on this box -- since it is not mine.)

    Re: SB0400 Sound Blaster Card not working after computer rebuild? Thanks much for your response. Problem solved for now. I removed the board and then reinserted it, after which I was able to download the drivers directly. Some of my difficulty with this whole process has been ) I didn't know there was no working speaker in the computer and 2) I apparently misunderstood the BIOS settings for this. I re-set it up as an add-on board during the troubleshooting process. After loading the driver, I went back to the original setting (don't recall what it was but it was for integrated sound). The setting for integrated sound works fine, with external speakers and the new 24 bit driver. Still some noise (popping and static) but this board shares the bus with 2 other cards one of which is a wireless network card. May be a PCI latency issue but I'm reluctant to change that because the network card is a bit shaky anyway.
    Everything works for now -- I'll be glad to get this particular computer out of my house !

  • Sound Blaster Cinema 2 Msi Z97 Xpower? Where?

    Good night
    I recently removed the sound card to test the sound of the motherboard and have to say that the sound is very poor, lacking punch and bass.
    I have read that the sound quality is very good but I do not see it.
    I have read that using the Creative Sound Blaster Cinema 2 software but once I install it tells me it is not compatible. Does this benefit?
    I use headphones Philips Fidelio X1 and the difference with my sound card is beastly.
    My previous motherboard, Asus Maximus Formula V had better sound but do not see it this time.
    Help me because you might place the sound card in another computer to the living room.
    Thank you.

    I had this problem before, try uninstall the Sound Blaster Cinema 2 software, and reinstall again.
    When installing the Sound Blaster Cinema 2, it seems take longer time to complete the installation.
    Maybe it not installed properly, cause the not compatible problem.

  • Z97-G45 7.1 audio not working

    I have the Z97-G45 motherboard with the Razer Tiamat 7.1 Headphones. When I plug in all 4 3.5mm headphone jacks (5 if you count the mic input, which I'm not using) into the corresponding outputs on the motherboard, the 7.1 audio does not work no matter what settings I change in Realtek HD Audio Manager or Sound Blaster Cinema. Even when I turn on the 7.1, if I play some music and unplug one of the outputs, like the center/sub, rear etc, the audio for those specific drivers does not cut out. If I unplug all the cables except the Line Out, the audio still sounds the same; then when the Line Out gets unplugged, then all the audio is gone. This tells me that it's not outputting the audio through all 4 3.5mm outputs. Do I have to enable something differently/did I do something wrong? I've been at this for two days, some help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    I think you can try uninstall the SBC. When you plug them in, does realtek detect them and pop out the selecting window? I just did a search on the web, this headset can be switched between 2.0 and 7.1, are you sure you set them up correctly? Also try in the playback settings--configure--7.1 test, which ones have no sound?
    When I do the 7.1 test, I hear all the speakers correctly and how they are suppose to sound. But when I start listening to music or playing a game, the sound is not how it used to be when I used the same headset on my old motherboard. I have tweaked every setting I could in Realtek and SBC and I could not get the audio to sound correct no matter what the game or music, even games that support 7.1 sound are not correct. I have no clue what is making the sound messed up.

  • Realtek HD audio manager vs Sound blaster cinema 2

    Hey guys,
    Quick question. I have an MSI GAMING 5 motherboard and I have both Realtek HD audio manager and Sound blaster cinema 2 installed. Can I remove one? Which one provides the best sound through headphones (Razer Kraken)?

    As okultis said, you can have both.
    The Realtek HD audio manager is the driver and manager for the actual sound card itself.
    The Sound Blaster Cinema 2 is mainly software that works in conjunction with the audio card driver to give it some more advanced features.
    You don't NEED the Sound Blaster Cinema 2 software, but it's generally good to have it installed. It will improve the sound output under many conditions.

  • Query on Sound Blaster Cinema 2

    I have the 970 Gaming with the board-isolated RealTek 1150 & the frequency booster integrated into the circuit design, and I'm very pleased with it--I'm actually surprised that the quality of sound seems (to my ears at least) noticeably superior to the sound of the RealTek 892 in my last motherboard (a MSI G46-970.)
    I'm running Windows 10x64 build 10122 at the moment, with the RealTek 6.0.1.7503 drivers, and everything is great--no problems, no hiccups at all.  Very pleasing.  But I am puzzled by the SB Cinema 2 software that is meant to overlay the standard RealTek 1150 driver software--I can't see what it is supposed to do...  I've actually uninstalled it completely because I think the 1150 sounds much better with the unvarnished RealTek drivers and nothing else.  This is really not surprising to me--only logical.  Yet I'm wondering if there is some purpose to the SB Cinema 2 software that I have somehow missed because it doesn't seem worthwhile for MSI to put the software in the 970 Gaming package--unless there's something I'm missing somehow.
    I've tried every configuration I could think of for the 1150 & the SB Cinema 2 software--can't escape that the sound quality is simply better by a large degree if I uninstall the Creative software.  If someone could shed some light on the purpose of this software I'd surely appreciate it... 

    Quality is measurable, but what you are talking about is personal preference.
    The Sound Blaster Cinema is altering or "enhancing" the sound which may not be to your taste (or mine).
    IMO it takes less than a day for the ear to get used to any sound environment, and the sound chips now a days are super no matter which one it is.
    Are you using the same speakers/headphones you have used with the 892, same settings?
    Bottom line is, why worry about it, if you are happy with your sound without Sound Blaster Cinema than just don't use it

  • Sound Blaster Cinema v1 Alternatives for GE Notebooks?

    Hello everyone,
        For a few months I've been using a GE60, and I've been more satisfied than I was expecting to be by far (for someone who is afraid to put money into a more-than-decent notebook because of lack of upgrades), however one department in which this notebook lacks has to be audio software. Sound blaster Cinema has become one of the only banes in my daily use with this notebook. Pretty much all I do is either play CubeWorld or listen to music.. and when doing either of these two things, both, or anything else involving audio, the automatic volume leveler, at least with any pair of headphones or earbuds, is far too under-intelligent to be considered anywhere near convenient. Even on the Quiet setting it will slowly raise the volume of anything without constant bass to the point that, in the default mixer, 3% volume sounds like 70-80% volume. This can become annoying if I'm doing something IRL while listening to music and cannot instantly correct the volume, or whenever I don't want to continually correct the volume to suffice for changes in songs, for example when a bass line in a song ends, Sound Blaster starts to slowly boost the volume of the song to what (very) closely amounts to full volume, regardless of distortion.
       Additionally, this software is of a novice level since, in replacement of an actual equalizer, it has a 'crystalizer' which is not very useful to someone who wants to tune their audio. I've searched for any feasible alternatives to no avail, and made this post to ask, are there any alternatives to Sound Blaster Cinema compatible with the GE60 that at least include an actual equalizer?
       Thanks for your time in at least reading this lengthy post.

    Hi nevrean,
    It's been said by others that audio driver and audio system management software for computers is some of the worst in the industry and I agree. I don't have a GE60, but if I did, the first thing I would do is find our what audio DSP is on the motherboard. You can get an idea from the Windows Device Manager. Look for your main audio device under "Sound, video and game controllers". Ignore the ones for your video card (which work via its HDML and/or mDP outputs).
    For example, my MSI GT80 Titan-001 lists the following:
    Sound, video and game controllers
    ----NVIDIA High Definition Audio
    ----NVIDIA Virtual Audio Device (Wave Extensible) (WDM)
    ----Realtek High Definition Audio
    In my case, the motherboard audio DSP is from Realtek and it's their high-definition part which is good. Hopefully you have a Realtek part also.
    If you do, go to the Windows Control Panel and select Programs > "Uninstall a program" and remove your Sound Blaster Cinema software. It should restore the Realtek HD Audio Manager to its original state which includes a graphic EQ.
    My GT80 came with Sound Blaster Cinema v2 and, in my opinion, it is pure junk. The sound quality is terrible (I've worked in the pro audio industry since the early 1980s) and it's user interface is beyond awful. This isn't new---Creative Labs (or Creative Technologies) has consistently turned out lousy audio software. It's a shame because their hardware isn't bad.
    But the Sound Blaster Cinema v2 software took over part of the Realtek HD Audio Manager in my GT80 and removed it's acoustic environment settings, EQ presets and graphic equalizer options in favor of its own. Uninstalling the Sound Blaster Cinema software restored the Realtek stuff. Perhaps this will work for you as well.
    If, on the other hand, you have a different audio DSP on your motherboard, you'll need to do an online search for audio drivers and managers for it (usually the audio management software comes with and is installed with the audio driver). And you'll probably need to find out the specific model and version of your DSP.
    Kind regards, David

  • Will the Sound Blaster X-Fi Work with Sony Viao Laptop?

    7Will the Sound Blaster X-Fi Work with Sony Viao Laptop?@ I have a Sony Vaio Laptop. When i purchased the laptop i did not know you could only play music through the mic on Sony Vaio. The mic and sound card are intergrated and there is no stereo mix on the Sony Vaio's.( You cannot en-able the stereo mix on Vaio's )I like to play music on a chat program called pal talk, they have music rooms. But my music sounds like crap because i have to play through the mic. I purchased this USB Sound Blaster to hopefully allow me to play through the sound blaster card. There is a lady on pal talk who plays music and talks on the mic using a Sony Vaio. She is the one that told me i needed to get a creavti've sound card to play music in the rooms. The problem is
    I can't find her to ask which sound card she purchased. So i did some research and purchased the X-Fi usb card. Now the problems start. I purchased the X-Fi, turned on the?my laptop as stated?and inserted?the X-Fi?
    Into the USB slot. The program asked for permission to run and i clicked yes. It download almost all the way and became stuck while installing the console, went from zero to 27% and stopped. I tryed it 8 times with the same thing happening. I went to the site and downloaded the software from there and the same thing happened. What am i doing wrong? Also when i inserted the unit in the USB slot and clicked on the speaker icon and pulled up the sound information, i see that the X-Fi mic is installed and working but i don't see the X-fi sound card? I checked every where! Also i tryed playing music in one of the music rooms and they said no sound, no sound! Is it just that this will not work with a Sony Vaio? Or am i doing something wrong? I am running vista 64 bit, 4 gig's of memory and daul core?processor and my Laptop is only months old. The laptop sound card is Reltek High Deff Audio. Any help would be great.

    the usb sound blaster x fi 5.1 pro thx does come with ddl but not dts connect.

    Hi,
    You don’t install VS2010 on the client PC, then where did the Form Invoice not work? When you run it from another version of VS? Or when you run the application with application.exe?
    Based on your description, one form works well, another form does not. I assume that two forms are in two different projects, then please check the .Net Framework used by the two projects. If they are different, you can use the
    one used by the Form contact for Form Invoice.
    Because this issue is a project issue, I recommend you to consult it on some application forum such as Windows Forms General forum for better support.
    VS General Question forum mainly discusses
    the usage of Visual Studio IDE such as
    WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help

  • My sound system is not working after my last updates on my imac,what shall i do to get fixed?

    Hello any body who can help me out here?
    My sound system is not working on my imac after the last updates,
    WHAT SHALL I DO FOR????

    apollos211,
    You marked this as solved, so chances are no one else will respond.
    You can try going Applications>utilities>audio MIDI set up, output tab and check to see if built in is selected.
    Also check in system preferences>sound >output and see what is selected there.
    If you look in the headphone port and see a red light (this means it is in digital mode), try taking a set off headphones and plugging them in and out several times also wiggle them around gently. There is a micro switch that sometimes gets stuck.
    Hope this helps, if still no joy try reposting so that more contributers might check it, as once checked as solved it reduces the number of people checking.
    All the best

  • External sound system is not working

    Hi, the sound system is not working for my MacBook. It is working perfectly for my PC, however, when I plug it into my mac, every sound playing is being paused (e.g. iTunes are being paused on the second playing). What could be the issue?

    That is what I am asking. It just does not make since that the Macbooks audio out/headphone plug works on some systems and not on that particular system.
    If the system you are trying to use does not plug into the AC wall socket to get power then that could be one of the problems. But I believe you have try to tell us that is does plug into the AC wall plug and then plugs into the Macbooks headphone plug.
    Is it possible that the Jack on the sound system you are experiencing problems with is bad?
    Does the sound actually pause or just cut sound in/out similar to how a loose speaker wire might sound like?
    Have you tried using this sound system on a different computer to see if the problem still exist?
