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.

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 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?

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.

Sound Card Compatibility Issues
The issue seems to be appear across a lot of forums with people having problem with their sound. My symptoms are presented as i get no sound of any kind and windows media player gives me the error message of "windows media player encountered a problem while playing the file". Even flash video with sound stutters with no elevation in cpu usage or memory footprint in the browser (according the the memory commit size in task manager).  The common denominator for hardware seems to be AC'97, which is just a codec developed my Intel and is used almost unanimously in integrated audio solution in the past (just wiki AC97). The problem seems odd because the same driver is present in vista and seems to be working fine, albeit, the driver itself is from 2005. Most suggestions revolve around installing new drivers or finding newer version of the same driver for later model motherboards which share the same intergrated audio chip. Realtek seems to have offered newer versions of their audio driver but i'm stuck with an Analog Digital chip whose driver is solely the resposibility of the motherboard manufacturer. If your having simialar problems, post them below, because I have a hunch that most of the audio problems might have the the common denominator of AC97

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.

Enabling Onboard Sound With A Sound Card
I fly MS FSX and I want to be able to chat to ATC with my headphones and then hear the engine noises coming out of my speakers and sub-woofer. I have a sound-card and my motherboard has on-board sound. I can't find the bios setting to turn it on and I can't see any hint of it anywhere on the computer. Can someone help me get the on board sound going? My computer is homebuilt, I recently installed Windows 7 pro 64bit.

Sound Blaster Driver Problem
I don't know why this works. I have a Sound Blaster Audigy Se sound card that wasn't working after installing Windows 7. I've been trying for days to fix this problem and finally and mysteriously I got my soundcard to work. I downloaded every driver from the Creative website to daniel_k's drivers and still nothing. Anyways, what I did was reinstall Windows 7 which takes no time at all. DO NOT INSTALL ANY UPDATES!!! Again, I don't know why, but I only chose to install the Sound Blaster Audigy update and it worked! The first time I installed windows 7 I installed updates and then tried to install the sound blaster updates and it didnt work. I highly recommend this to everyone!

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?

No Sound With Audigy 2 Sound Card
This is probably just a stop gap but I was finally able to get my old Creative Audigy 2 card to work with 5.1 surround by using Audigy 4 drivers for Windows 7. I haven't been able to adjust bass and treble yet but I've been too busy just enjoying the music to get around to looking for ways to make that happen. Music sounds better than it ever did in XP or Vista! It may not be a complete fix but at least it'll get you some sound until they come up with driver for those of us with older sound cards. Be patient as it takes a while for the complete install!

Sound Blaster Audigy Giving Errors
I cleaned the dust from the comp & since then I am getting this error, sound is only working on front 2 speakers. i ensured the card is properly installed, which it is. Last 4 months its been working fine with 4.1 speakers. Now I cant start the EAX control setting. I uninstalled the card & drivers & cleaned the registry then reinstalled the drivers from CD. On installation of the drivers & sound it detects by old speakers as stereo only but all 4 speakers give sound which is too bad, I can now use the EAX control settings . then I run the windows update it download a creative driver which when installed does show me 4.1 speakers but now the EAX control panel wont open & gives error. "the audio device supported by this application is not detected. The application will exit" any clue what went wrong & how can I get this working?
