My problem is that i don't get any bass out of my subwoofer, my system (as i configurate) recognizes my subwoofer, but as soon as i listen to music there's no sound coming out of it!
My other speakers work, but only the bass is missing!
I wanted to install the console launcher from CD, but in Setup windows said "couldn't find any compatible hardware. Setup will be closed"
But i do not find any latest console launcher in Creative technical support, that's compatible with my Live 24 bit soundcard.
I started this thread, because i couldn't contact any other user who's problem was solved .
My soundcard (Creative SB Live! Value CT4670) is not compatible with Windows 7. i cannot find the drivers in anywhere. For the specifications of my computer, click on "My System Specs" .
Recently got a Toshiba L755 and have been having an issue with audio & video playback since I got it. I have updated the latest drivers for the Conexant HD Audio card and this made no difference. Basically during playback there is an intermitant distorted sound during mp3 playback, video playback and online streams.
I have tried different programs and the same thing happens, however, when I have a LAN cable plugged in there is no issue - it is only when im connected to the net via wireless. I have a netgear router which is working fine.
a couple of weeks ago i bought and downloaded a copy of the "aos system optimizer" and after using it to 'optimize' my system it instead screwed it up big time... now my sound crackles and stutters when i play all media, online or offline, dvds, Internet, games, etc.technical support from them didn't solve my problem, needless to say i've asked for( and gotten) a refund from them, but i'm still stuck with this annoying problem..i've tried the usual methods, such as rolling back drivers, uninstalling all the audio drivers (nvidia and realtek) restarting and letting windows 7 reinstall them, all to no avail. [code]
I'm having the most insane issue with sounds in Windows 7. All of a sudden out of the blue it seemed like my headphones started dropping half the channels. I can hear mostly high pitched sounds but bass and especially voices are very quiet, laggy and distorted.
What's killing me is I can't find out why. I've tried different headphones, but every pair does the same thing. I've used different audio jacks (reconfigured in registry) no difference. I thought the onboard Realtek card might have had it so I bought a new Creative sound card. Exactly the same thing.
I've installed and reinstalled new drivers, codecs and anything else I can think of. I even booted into my Vista partition and the sound there is screwed too now. Have I just killed some part of the motherboard somehow?
I run a Windows 7 RC (64Bit) Build 7100 Version (German).
So far all Programms & Games just work fine.
The only problem i had was with my Creative Live! Cam Vista IM (VF0420).
I downloaded on the creative website the latest vista 64 bit driver & and programm (called creative live cam center). But when trying to install them, combatibility probs showed up.
Then i found a thread on this Forum how to run a programm in combatibility mode (right click on driver, choose properties and then compatibility. Now you can choose a different OS).
But what i did, is even easier. Right click on driver and click on "troubleshoot compatibility". Now Windows looks for the problem itself and recommended XP SP2 mode (in my case). Confirm. Driver is being installed and settings are saved.
I have a webcam creative live VF-0050! But I can't find drivers for windows 7! I found for vista, but they are no good. I don't have access to properties, so I can't move the bars with contrast etc. I see in creative's site but they say, that no support my cam anymore. I bye another cam .. I pay for this 75€ but I don't like! This cam have a yellow color and ugly shadows.
This driver is working on windows 7 x64 beta version
When you plug the camera into the USB port, open the Device manager and find the "Unknown Device". Then click "Update" and finally point to the directory where you have previously extracted the file in the attatchment.
Seen this enough here and elsewhere with people not knowing or understanding the differences between the different cards. For example have seen too many instances of someone recommending regular X-Fi drivers with the Xtreme Audio. With that said here we go,
1. Audigy SE/LS/Value, X-Fi Xtreme Audio and the Sound Blaster 24 bit
All of these cards are virtually identical hardware-wise, and for the most part the drivers are interchangeable. The only thing the Xtreme Audio has over the others is that it gets to use some of the X-Fi software (and supports Entertainment mode only). Drivers for all of these cards can be found on Creatives support pages,
------------------------- Creative Worldwide Support > Sound Blaster
the Audigy and Live 24 bit can be found by using the "If your product is not listed above, please click here." link at the bottom of the page. Alternatively you can also try/use the Daniel_k package,
------------------------ SB P17X Series Support Pack 2.0 (07/31/2009) - Aud... - Creative Labs
that has been modified to work with all the above cards (single installer and driver) as well as return the use of some of the applications that used to work in XP (and Vista if the card was bought recently enough and came with Vista drivers on the CD).
2. The Audigy 1, 2 (all, including the 2 Value) and 4 series. These cards again all use the same driver and can be found through the saem link as above. And again there is also the Daniel_K driver set,
---------------------------------- SB Audigy Series Support Pack 3.6 (11/09/2009) - Creative Labs
3. Original X-Fi series and the new Titanium series. Again latest drivers as well as some of the applications can be found on Creative's site, as well as the daniel_K set,
----------------------------------------------------- SB X-Fi Series Support Pack 2.0 (05/15/2009) - Creative Labs
Again like the regular Audigy drivers, these will not work with the Xtreme Audio.
4. That leaves the original SB Live series of cards. There is not now and never will be any support for these cards from Creative, and I really wouldn't expect them too considering most of these cards are from the Windows 95/98 era. For anyone with one of these cards the only option you really have (applies to Vista as well) is yet another Daniel_K modified driver set,
------------------------- SB Live! series Support Pack 1.5 (08/09/2009) - Creative Labs
Creative SoundBlaster 5.1, got a problem installing with driver, any solution? i check the creative site, they don't seem to have an installer for my sound card?
I had noticed that a lot of people first had sound issues with their Creative X-fi soundcards. Most of them sorted it out by running the Creative drivers in Vista compatibility mode, or by installing the support pack released by a member on the Creative support forums.
The problem for me is that when I do a fresh install the drivers (either the official or the support pack) I can hear sound properly from the speakers before the computer restarts. However once I restart to complete the driver installation, the sound is gone once Windows loads again.
If I do an uninstall of the drivers from device manager the sound comes back once again, but once I restart it is gone again.
I can't explain this weird behavior but think somehow Windows is overwriting the drivers after a restart. I'm just wondering if anyone hear knows why this is happening the way it is?
I currently have a Creative X-fi Xtremegamer fatality pro, and 4GB ram. I also have a leadtek winfast pvr 2000 which installed properly and works fine (aside from no audio) so i'm wondering if that might be conflicting some how.
As old as Creative Extigy external sound device is it was easy to install and set up in Windows 7 by using compatible with XP and the latest old drivers Creative has along with their player. Using 5.1 speaker set up with Artez speakers connected to the external device made it easier.
I have just acquired a creative Audigy 2 Platinum Pro (Model SB0290) from a friend, however Windows can't detect it so I can't install the driver. In device manager a device called Multimedia Audio Controller shows up under Other Devices.
When i downloaded the drivers for CT4810, it automatically installed some Realtek stuff. In control panel Realtek Digital Output is selected as default device (Realtek AC'97 Audio).
i hav dual boot with Windows 7 64-bit ultimate RC and win XP..... my windows 7 does not detect my sound card. when i try to install any drivers , i get a msg "Setup is unable to detect any supported product on ur system" [i tried many drivers]..In the Device manager, drivers for "Multimedia Audio Controller" & "PCI Simple communication controller" are not installed.. but no issues with win XP.
While playing a game, listening to music, talking on ventrilo my audio starts getting distorted. The best description I can think of is it sounds like a metallic freaky sound. It last for a minute or so and then it starts to clear up and returns to normal. This happens a couple times per day and appears to be more prevalent when using multiple apps. I have uninstalled and installed the lastest creative drivers as well as trying Daniel K's driver. I also have reverted to the windows default driver.
They all do the same thing. Windows gives me a message saying that the driver is experiencing problems and it asks me if I want to disable it. I do not have any issues with the onbard audio when I enable it. I prefer to get the soundlblaster working properly since the sound is alot better IMO when it works.
Recently I bought the logitech Z-5500, along with a lot of cables.
I want to hook up 2 speaker sets to my Audigy LS, my standard speakers and the Z-5500. I connected the standard speakers with the 3 normal 3.5mm jacks. However now I want to connect my Z-5500 to my sound card using the digital input (I/O), I am doing this via a 3.5mm jack to Toslink (optical) and that Toslink cable goes into my Z-5500. Well the problem I am having at the moment is this:
a) Are the creative drivers screwing with my sound?
b) My set up is wrong and I need another approach.
I definitely hope it's a) because I don't want to buy other cables and wasted 16 euro's on this one >.<. Anyways I hope someone can help me with this.
I had a problem loading a creative sound card. Now I need to close the question but don't know how.Uninstalled almost all Creative Drivers with Add and Remove programs.One wouldn't uninstall:Creative Consol Launcher Product Version 2.61.Restarted Computer and tried again but it wouldn't uninstall, when I checked the size of the file there was no size there.To finish I checked for Creative Technology Limited files in Uninstall or change a program and apart from the Consol Launcher there weren't any. Next I switched the computer off, plugged in the Creative XFi sound card and restarted.When it started it said in the bottom right hand corner it had found the FXi and the device software had been successfully installed.I downloaded the three files in your email, restarting after every file. When I downloaded the Creative Console Launcher it overwrote the old version that wouldn't uninstall, at the end when I restarted for the final time Windows 7 had recognized it.The answer to the problem after uninstalling all of the Creative files then doing a "Clean Boot". The clean boot was quite easy to do.
