Hi,
Did you try to use driver placed on the CD that came with motherboard?
Also it's not really a sound card, is it? It's simple integrated sound as every motherboard has.
Yes I know it's not real audio
But the problem is because the motherboard does not recognize the sound card.
With the installation CD did not work,
I install the driver cd but still not right
If it's not reported any problems
Sound card is the perfect motherboard
But the utility has a special charm for surround sound
Anyway, thank you

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.

DVD-Audio and "can not detect sound blaster card" with Audigy2 Va

I recently purchased an "Audigy2 Value" card from an eBay user, because I recently purchased some DVD-Audio discs. I downloaded the Audigy2 drivers from the website, and the Creative MediaSource player. 5. Surround sound worked fine for me, though sometimes the driver would reset to the default 2/2. sound and I would have to re-select 5. sound, which was annoying.
Then I was completely unable to get the MediaSource player to recognise my DVD-Audio discs, and the EAX functionality of the player would never work. The EAX logo never appeared in the player. When I tried installing the MediaSource player from an install disc, I got the message "can not detect sound blaster card". Then I discovered the world of EEPROM problems.
I followed advice from some other threads, including using ScanPCI to get information on the card, which yielded the following result.
When installed on my machine (Asus A7A266 motherboard) the ScanPCI reads:

(Just a note: above you can clearly see that it does not say I have an Audigy, it thinks it is a SBLi've. Is this normal? The card IS an Audigy 2, it says so on the card.)
So, I put the card back on my own PC, thinking this has fixed my EEPROM, but I get the same as before. Subsystem ID 0002h. And of course the install software will not detect the card.
I realise that I could go back to using the web drivers, but this still leaves me with MediaSource not recognising the card and not enabling DVD-Audio or EAX, which is why I bought the card in the first place!
I have heard that the VIA chipset is possibly to blame for the EEPROM problems on the Audigy cards, and certainly it seems like it is not permanent, since it gave different information on the other PC. So now I am seriously considering getting a new motherboard.
Do other motherboards cause this same problem? I don't want to buy another board and get the same trouble. All I want is to be able to install my MediaSource and have it recognise my card so I can listen to my DVD-Audio discs.
Cheers,
Russ.

Figured out my problem. Installing the drivers from the web to begin with was a bad idea. They just did not work properly with the card.
The "card not found" problem has gone as well, after installing it in another PC. I am also using the proper install disc now, as the other one I was using turned out to not be for the Audigy 2 value after all, but was an Audigy 2 install disc. That easily explains the "Card not found" error. The differing results from the ScanPCI program are still bizarre, though.
Thanks to all of the people on the forum who posted information in other threads to help me deal with this issue. For now I am sticking with the original drivers from the disc and I am not upgrading.

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

Solution who encounter 'Setup does not detect Sound Blaster .....' error msg during installat

For those who encounter 'Setup does not detect sound blaster audio in the system' error upon installing from the installation CD. You can try the steps below that work for me. It seems Windows have lock on to the sound card with an incorrect ID thus the installation CD are not able to correctly identify the card. Be sure to do a backup copy of the registry first incase something goes wrong since we are editing the registry.
. Go to Start-Run and type in 'regedit' to start the registry editor application.
2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\P CI.
3. You should see listing with 'VEN....'. Expand them by clicking on the + icon and then see if it's listed as unknown or Creative related stuff. Keep note of them.
4. Right click on those 'VEN......' listing that you have noted earlier and select full permission. Ensure that full control are selected. Now delete all those listed as unknown or Creative related stuff.
5. Exit registry editor and reboot. Try using the installation CD again.
Hope it hel
ps.

Could not detect Sound Blaster Audio Card on xp sp2 Sys

I have Audigy Platinum and trying to install to a recently re-installed windows xp sp2 system. On my previous install everything was working fine and now I am looking to install the newest drivers and the error comes up [color="#ff3300">"could not detect Sound Blaster Audio Card on system". The strange thing is windows recognizes the card and will install it's drivers, but when I go to install the latest driver update I get the error. In addition, I also tried to run the install from my original disk.
I also?un-installed the devices showing? in the windows device manager, then tried and the same error, I even tried it in safe mode. Any ideas?Thanks and Advance,Mikel

Yes i think the real lesson here is not to buy creative,. i have the same problem with their junky card, so i guess ill just have to take buisness somewhere else. if you all do the same perhaps the threat of them going out of buisness will have them deal with their problems. if not atleast we saved others the headache of learning this lesson.

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.

Biostar mobo not recognising Sound blaster cards

Hi all, Just moved a whole lotta bits from a Dell XPS420 over to a new mobo/case/psu setup.
Full kit list now:
Biostar TPower I45 Intel Q6600, with Arctic Cooler Freezer 7 pro
3Gb RAM
2x750Gb HD
Generic (Dell?) GeForce 8800GT, with Thermaltake HR-03GT
2x DVD Writers Antec 300 Case, with 2 additional Akasa 20mm red LED fans in front.
Be Quiet! Dark Power Pro 550W psu
Akasa internal card reader.
Sound Blaster Audigy (SB0570)
Vista Home Premium.
Okay, most things worked fine when I built it. I didn't reinstall the OS, just booted from the hard dri've. I just had to load the drivers for the Biostar website for chipset, LAN.
Only device that wasn't recognised was the Sound Blaster. I'd disabled on board sound in the BIOS. I thought this odd, as the SB had worked on the old PC, so I knew the drivers worked under Vista.
I re-downloaded the drivers and tried to reinstall, just in case. The driver install claimed no compatable hardware installed and quit. I checked the BIOS/Manual for any way to enable/disable PCI slots, in case this was the issue, no joy.
I then tried an old PCI network card in both PCI slots, just to see if it was mobo or card. The NIC was recognised straight away. At this point, I assumed I'd done something stupid and blown teh sound card. Oh well, get another one, slight upgrade to enable me to us the HDA front audio sockets on the case, which would be handy.
So bought a SB X-Fi Extreme (PCI) card. Installed... and same effect - card not detected. Tried new drivers, tried both slots, nothing. Put the NIC back in - recognised. Either SB card - nada.
Tried cleansweep to remove all traces of Creative sound card drivers - nothing. Tried on-board audio, this works... but DoW II and Red Alert 3 stutter badly, which is what I got from the on-board audio on the Dell XPS420, and prompted me to go sound card in the first place!
I even tried the most extreme option - wipe hard dri'ves and reload Vista from scratch. Still wouldn't locate them (I've reverted back to my original Vista build now, from a Windows Home Server backup image).
Gonna try the SB cards in other PCs at work this week just to confirm if they are working... but the chances of both a previously working card and a brand new one both being broke seem remote...
So help! I'm not sure what else I'm missing...

I do understand that they all have supported Vista Drivers, but your website says that some functions may not work under Vista. All I am trying to do is to select a card that all functions work out of the box when I install it with Vista instead of finding out later that all functions do not work under Windows Vista. Here is the statement from your support page:
Creative is developing Vista driver updates for many of its soundcard products. Many are already available on the web for download and installation to support existing customers. However, after installing an updated Windows Vista driver, some features that work on Windows XP may no longer be available due to changes in the audio architecture for Vista. See below for details specific to your product.
So what I am asking is Pre-Sales Help to help me select a Sound Card where all functions of the card works under Vista which I will use only for Moves and Music, no games.

Sound Blaster Cinema with z87 g45

Hi to all.
I have the z87 g45 motherboard and I can't use Sound Blaster. When I open it, there's this text:
Quote
The current audio device is disabled, not present, not supported by the application, or has unplugged jack connestions. Do you want to select another audio device now?
And if I click Yes
Quote
There is no supported audio device available.
I already have installed che realtek hd audio, so what's the problem? Thanks.

Same Problem here. System is irrelevant. Got the Problem on Win7 64b; Win8 64b and Win8.1 64b ... Seems to have happened after updating Sound drivers on my PC. Couldn't even get it back with reinstallation of Windows in general!

Sound Blaster Cinema 2 Bass disabled?

Hello! I recently bought the MSI Z97 Gaming 7. and everything went well. but after everything was done and set up i would open sound blaster and find that even with my subwoofer hooked into the back Audio port, the option to turn it on is disabled I cannot figure out how to fix it, and cannot find anything on google to fix it either. i have my speakers set up as 5.1, but let me be specific. I have an Altec Lansing XA3021 2.1 (2 front speakers one subwoofer) plugged into the front speaker plug, and then a Yamaha Subwoofer plugged into the Center/sub plug. with Realtek it ALL works fine. but on sound blaster the yamaha will not produce sound and the bass option is greyed out. what can I do?

You can't enable or change the bass setting in 5.1. It will be disabled.
Bass option only available to setting below 5.1 ( Quadraphonic , Stereo and Headphone)
Click the check where my cursor is set on to enable it.
You won't get any bass, unless in stereo/Quad/Headphone setting.
If you have a decent speakers with subwoofer and you want a quacking sound
you may consider getting sound card (real X-fi).
It's much better with treble and bass control plus more options.
That's what I am using.

Can not detect Sound Blaster Audigy 2 on this sys

Im having trouble install drivers (apart from the old CD ones and some out of date ones) all the latest drivers or beta drivers say they cannot detect my card. I have an Sound Blaster Audigy 2 OEM which i bought nearly 2 years ago. I've tried swapping it to a different pci slot but makes no different Constant crashes when playing openal games. Even if i install the lates openal file. But i need to find out why i can't install the newest drivers and why they say i haven't got an audigy 2 when i have. In my device manger even says that its an "Creative SB Audigy 2 (WDM)" My system is as follows...

Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 OEM
PCTV Rave TV card
Please some one help me, it will be greatly appreciated. If you need anymore info please let me know ( i may uninstall and remove the tv card just to get it off my list of perhaps the audio part of the tv card could be interfering ?)Message Edited by Alexia on -2-2005 :52 PM

I am getting the exact same problem. Just downloaded the "Creative Sound Blaster Audigy unified series Beta driver with OpenAL support 2.08.0002" for my soundcard which is an Audigy 2 OEM (Model No. SB0240).
I am using WIndows Media Center Edition 2005, but when I try to install the beta drivers, I get the following error message:
"Setup is unable to detect a supported product on your system. Please ensure that your product is properly installed before running this setup program
Setup will exit."
My Device Manager shows Creative SB Audigy 2 (WDM) with driver version as follows:
Driver Provider: Creative
Driver Date: 23/06/2004
Driver Version: 5.2..444
I am currently hearing sound fine (so the soundcard is installed correctly), but the sound keeps cutting out from games that use OpenAL.
Anyone else getting this problem? How did you fix it's

Event for not supported sound file type

Hi,
Is there an event or error that is dispatched when a user is trying to load a sound file that is not supported?
When I try to load a ".wav" file (that is not supported) I don't get any event or error that indicates the sound load didn't succeed, it just doesn't load.
I listen to IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, but it only fires when the file doesn't exist.
any ideas except checking the extension of the file name?
thx

What is your operating system & version?
