Issues With Installing Sound Card Sound Blaster Live 24 X
I installed recently windows 7 and i am very pleased, except for when it comes to my sound. It says that i need to install the sound unit, but i whatever i tried i cant get it to work. The icon "No sound unit is installed" is present at my windows bar in the right corner.
And when i go to unit"treatment" sorry for my English, it says "sound controller for multimedia categorized beneath other units with an yellow exclamation mark. What can i do to fix this.
My soundcard is a Soundblaster Live 24 x external device. And as i said i have Windows 7 64 bits version. My motherboard is a Nforce 4 ultra - d lanpary from Nvdia.

Cannot Find Creative Sound Blaster Xtreme Audio Sound Card
My fairly new PC: Core2Quad Q6700 on ASUS P5K (Intel P35) with RealTek HD Audio chip, plus Creative Soundblaster Xtreme Audio internal sound card. I've installed Windows 7RC on a new partition on my HD alongside Vista Ultimate. I've experienced no installation problem, but Win7RC does not recognize my SB sound card at all! So, I can't even update the driver! It recognized the Realtek chip and my external USB mic, but not the sound card that had been installed for audio quality!! To come to think of it, I've had the problem with Vista, with my Dragon Naturally Speaking Pro 10.1 not recognizing the "existence of any sound system" in an administrator account I used to install the software. However, the software recognizes all my audio systems in my other user account (admin) and the software runs smoothly!! Any connection? What's the problem here? Anyone have any idea? Edit: I also found that the stereo mix feature of the Realtek HD audio isn't recognized either. (Recognized in Vista and my old XP)

Sound Blaster Audigy PCI Card Sound Problem
I installed windows 7 home premium today on my computer on a dedicated hard disk. All went fine and did windows updates to all my driver issues. At this point I had sound. I then installed ubuntu 9.10 on a separate physical disk without issue. Ubuntu installed a boot loader (Grub) which recognised windows 7 and I could boot into both OSes (dual boot), both working happily (including sound). I then installed some apps in ubuntu (incl. wine) and now when I boot into windows 7, I don't have any sound. The sound icon is happy, the device manager is happy. I haven't touched the windows disk or installation, yet the sound doesn't work. The sound hardware is a Sound Blaster Audigy PCI card. This doesn't make sense surely. Any ideas?

Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Sound Card Compatibility
I just bought a new pc from Dell. I opted out of buying the SB sound card they had as an option and now I am sorta regretting that. I loaded RC 7100 as soon as I got the machine and after going through this forum I am sorta left with the impression that SB cards don't work with Win 7. Is that really the case? I was looking at an "Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Sound Card" but if it will just cause me grief it's not worth it. Does anyone have a suggestion as to what I can get and not pull my hair out trying to get it to work? The main game I play sounds sorta mediocre with the on-board sound.

Sound Blaster Live 5.1 Driver
I have a x64 build 7100 and 4 giga of ram. I have a Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 digital also... I have tried in many ways to install the driver. I tried Creative driver, Daniel_K driver and finally the KxProject 3547 driver too... I have looked also in Kx project forum and creative support forum tha fact is: There's a bug, I think in windows7Â memory management, so if you have more than 2 giga the sound chiper similar to a machinegun or don't work at all. If you downgrade to 2 giga work fine. Can someone of the microsoft developer team investigate more deeper?

Driver For Sound Blaster Live! 5.1
I am having trouble finding a working driver for Windows 7 - 64 Bit for a Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 Audo Card Model# SB0100 I downloaded driver file SBL_PC64DRVBETA_LB_2_03_0005.exe which I think is a 64 Bit Sound Blaster Live! update, but Windows 7 does not allow it to be installed because it is not a digitally signed driver. It also seems Creative is no longer supporting these old cards with new driver updates. I love the card though. I have bought more recent sound cards and the sound of this card is still much better than the more recent sound cards I have bought. So I would like to keep using it if possible. Are there any driver solutions?

Sound Blaster Live Value Driver Issues
Will the driver for the SBLive be included with Windows 7 the main reason for this is XP installs it perfectly no trouble at all, the Ngocmd ones work perfectly in Vista and Window7 so I was wondering if they could be included with the Windows7 operating system.

Audio Drivers For Sound Blaster 5.1 Live
Ok. Spent 2 hours tonight trying to either let Windows 7 find and install the audio drivers, FAIL, and then crawling the web including Creative Labs site, again FAIL. Good news is, had a moment of clarity and dug out my old SB Live CD that came with the computer, and lo and behold, I HAVE SOUND :-) . If anyone needs the drivers, let me know. Don't have the exact model number, but this card came installed in a Dell Dimension 4600, about 4 years ago.

Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 Win7 Compatibility
I know that Creative has stopped supporting the SB Live! 5.1 way back in the day, but I was hoping anyone would know of a way to force it to function in some way. I've heard a lot about this Daniel_K guy, who's been making drivers for old Creative cards, but I can't really find anything for my Live! card that is native to Windows 7. Alternatively, I've installed the official WinXP drivers on Windows 7, and they work to an extent. I'm getting very odd distortion (echoes) when I play any audio. I'm grateful the audio works decently, but the echoing is really grating. Can anyone help me find a new driver for this card, or at the very least walk me through setting up the XP driver?

Creative Sound Blaster Live 24 Bit - No Subwoofer
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 .

Sound Blaster Live 24-bit Driver Suite Download
So I installed the basic drivers just fine for my Sound Blaster Live 24-bit internal sound card. But for some reason I can't get 5.1 sound, I'm only getting sound out of left and right speakers. I tried navigating around the control panel sound options and stuff but I could only change between 2 channels and 1 channel. I know the driver suite that creative offers includes utilities to change these options, but when ever I got to install them I get the blue screen and my computer reboots. This has been happening when trying to install a couple different programs. Here is the package I was trying to download, its the larger one for Vista, the first one on the list. Is this a known issue, does this package just not work with Windows 7? Just weird that the second one on the list, the drivers alone, work fine. But the one with the extra software doesn't work. If anyone just knows how to get 5.1 sound without these drivers then I guess that would solve my problem too.

Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Pro Series Audio Card
Installation went fine for everything other then the fact that I have no Audio. I tried to download the driver for my audio card for Windows XP/Vista and when I try to install I get an error that I must use an OS newer then Windows XP. It also did not like my drive for my much beloved Monster HP 5si printer. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions. I really want to try the new OS as I really did not care for Vista so I am still using Windows XP on my Dual boot.

FPS Drop Because Of Sound Card / Sound Card Drivers
I've recently upgraded my os to windows 7, and noticed a significant fps drop in all games I've installed. The problem seems to come from the sound card. I've disabled it in device manager and I gained a steady 15-20 more in most of the applications. Any idea what to do? Is it a driver issue or something? I got an Athlon 64x2 4600+, Asus M2N mainboard, 2 gigs of ram, Gainward 8800GS video card, Sound Blaster Live 24bit soundcard. Drivers are downloaded from creative.
