I recently made a major upgrade (from a 6-7 year old mobo and processor to a Asus p8z68-v gen 3 and and i5 2500k) and i had to install a fresh copy of windows 7 professional (32bit). Windows does not recognize my steelseries usb sound card and shows it as a "USB PnP Sound Device" in the device manager. I have not had much time to test it, but so far i did not have any major problem with sound (microphone works fine too) except that it might be a little low quality and i hear a cracking sound from time to time (not often). What bugs me is that this sound card was properly recognized in my old computer (with the exactly same windows) and i do not remember putting much effort into it back then. This computer has no problem identifying my mouse (logitech g3) and my DVD-drive both of which are using USB. Also, I am only using the usb ports on the back of the PC (the ones that sit directly on the mobo).
What i have tried so far: Getting all the windows updates Installing all the drivers from the CD that followed with my mobo Updating the asus chipset driver. Installing usb sound card drivers from the steelseries site Uninstalling the sound driver that came with the Nvidia card (i have a inno3d gtx 550 Ti with 296.10 driver version) Disabling on-board sound from bios Using another usb port (switched to a port that my mouse previously used) Manually installing steelseries drivers through the device manager
It really bugs me that this exact same soundcard with the same drivers worked properly in my old windows computer (same windows 7 32bit professional). It would be nice to get a fresh pair of eyes on this problem, maybe do some diagnostics?

Recently purchased a xai mouse from steelseries. I plugged it in and windows stared to automatically install the drivers. When it's done I try to use it, it won't track and none of the buttons work, but all the lights are on. I then downloaded the software from the steelseries website for this mouse, it could tell whether the mouse was connected or not. After changing a few settings I tried to use it and the mouse would still not track, but the buttons worked. I can't find this mouse in device manager.
I have a Siberia V2 Headset w/ a built in soundcard. The headset itself has a volume slider which is good because I don't have to open the volume settings or touch my computer to change the volume, but the output sound is very quiet. I have to have the volume on 100 and then adjust the slider to a comfortable level. I hate doing this because it has become annoying. Is there anyway I can amplify the sound of the output which is a sound card?
Testplatform HP Pavilion DV-5 Entertainment Notebook PC (4GB RAM, 2GHz dual-core) with MicrosoftĂ‚® WindowsĂ‚® 7 7048 x64 and Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1.Driver:USB_W7DRVBETA_US_1_01_0091.exe. Tested with clean installed OS and only this driver.The Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 is connected with optical TOSlink to a 5.1 Pioneer reciever. There occures great (and increasing) latency while playback of videofiles.-Sound will very noticably loose sync from video within a minute (all filetypes, not a codec problem). The latency will not occure with the internal notebook speakers, nor on same system with MicrosoftĂ‚® WindowsĂ‚® Vista x86. The Notebook ships with HPs "AMD USB Filter Driver" that should improve the performance of USB accessories, such as USB speakers or a USB TV tuner. I have tried to install this also on the testplatform to resolve the problem, however even though it seems to install fine the latency/syncproblem still resists.
i want to record a short sound that is present on a website for a ringtone, but i can seem to get the sound recorder on W7 to "see" any type of recording device so i can record directly form the sound-card (onboard).url...the issue is i am not seeing the "Wave out Mix Device" that is supposedly disabled by default.
I recently purchased a 5.1 sound system, which I have connected to the S/PDIF output on my MB (Gigabyte Guerrilla) however my system seems insistent on sticking to a 2.1 output. A quick search shows that I should go into speaker setup, find the correct playback device and reconfigure it; however when I go to this page the option to configure is greyed out so I cant use it!I have gone through the properties page and when I do the supported format tests sound is done through all connected speakers so I know they can physically receive a signal.Does anyone have ideas as to why the configure option is greyed out? I am on an administrator account and UAC is turned off.
The problem occured last week while playing some moonbase alpha, my speakers basically cut out while playing however windows believes it is still outputting sound to them, if i plug a jack into either of the speaker or microphone jacks and remove it the problem is instantly fixed and sound continues as normal for up to around 10 minutes when it happens again.I can fix it again for 10 minutes by switching from the playback tab to the recording tab in the sound properties menu, i have tried reinstalling drivers that came with my laptop and drivers from other sources, i have tried drivers that are older than mine, i have also tried using the default driver windows 7 assigns it "intel HD audio" the device is shown as conexant smartaudio HD.I have tried my volumes, my balance and i have played about a little with the sound properties and with the smartaudio application.I have also tried restoring to an earlier point before the problem happened and before i even installed moonbase, windows troubleshooter reports no problems.

Got a P5K-E Wifi/Ap motherboard, which according to the specifications got an ADI® AD1988B onboard soundcard. Just wondering where i could get drivers for this soundcard? When i enabled it through the BIOS, Windows 7 automatically installed some drivers, and in the volume control panel it's called "High Definition Audio Device" only.
Reason am looking for some drivers, is because i was hoping there would be some sort of audio managament software that came with it, similar to the "Creative Console Launcher" that you can download for Creative based soundcards.
I bought a new Dell XPS laptop about 2 months ago (I have filled out the system specs info on my profile here). I bought the laptop predominantly to use for making music, and also bought an external soundcard - Native Instruments Komplete Audio 6, which is a USB 2 device. The laptop has two USB 3 sockets and a USB/SATA socket as well. I had great difficulty getting the Komplete Audio 6 to work with the laptop, as I was unable to load the drivers using the USB 3 sockets (wouldn't recognise USB 2 for some reason). I eventually got it working by using the USB/SATA socket instead, which it is currently plugged into via a USB hub (along with my optical mouse). I was advised by other Komplete Audio 6 users to use a USB hub to avoid damaging the laptop. I also have a Yamaha midi keyboard plugged into one of the USB 2 sockets.
My problem is that I am getting regular Blue Screens, sometimes after a period of inactivity, though I cannot say 100% what triggers them. I am running Microsoft Security Essentials, and Spyware Blaster as antivirus programs. I've read the instructions on submitting BSOD files, and have attached mine here.
I can't seem to find any working solution to properly install named Soundcard under Windows 7/64. I know its a driver problem on behalf of the Souncard manufacturer. Can Microsoft not make a generic driver to fix this?The chipset used on this Terratec is a commonly used soundcard chipset if I'm not mistaken. Surely MS can conjure up a driver that will work and not let my Soundcard crash the whole PC just bc I want to listen to some music?
How can I setup a simple client-to-server audio-streaming solution that will take mear minutes to setup? I want people to be able to play their music using whatever program or web-site they want over the local network to the stationary computer connected up to my sound-system.
I found something about Virtual Audio Cable & Axia IP-Audio Driver but VAC is a bit to complex for me to set up and Axia's IP-Audio Driver is impossible to find. Anyone got a solution to this?
My front speaker pin (the green one) is ruined. When I plug my headphones into any other pin, the sound will not work. I know it's possible to change pin assignments with realtek, I used to do it through their software. IDT however allows no such thing through their control panel. Is there any other way to change it? I'm using an integrated sound processor Intel Dp35dp and Windows 7 x32bit
so i was trying to change my sound card, but the new sound card wasn't compatible with my computer. So i went ahead and put my old sound card back in, screwed everything back on. turned on my computer, and next thing i know it says, "disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter". All i did was try to change the sound card. I don't think i unplugged anything else or moved anything around. I made sure everything was in securely too.
I have done a quick search and found a few topics on this, but none of them really covered what i was after.
Basically i have Win 7 Pro, x64.... All my other drivers installed lovely apart from my soundcard. If i use Windows 7 to update my soundcard drivers i can't get any Bass, although i can still hear sound.
I have downloaded, installed and uninstalled every driver thats on the web, including the ones from Creative but still no luck.
Could some one point me in the place where a driver WILL WORK. I have 5.1 surround sound (Although this wont effect the driver).

I am using Micromax 300c EVDO modem ( Datacard ) for wireless broadband connection. In one machine having Intel 915 Chipset motherboard, it is working fine. In the device manager, in the modem category, it shows correctly as " CDMA 2000 Rev A Modem ". In another machine, having Intel DG41TY motherboard, the device manager does not show modem. Only in other devices category, shows as Data services. ( in ports category both diagnostic and service ports are shown correctly)
I have a Toshiba Satelite C650 (PSC12C-00M00S) with Core i3. Previously it came with 4 GB RAM. It had previously 2GB + 2GB. What I did, I bought two 4GB RAM modules and replaced them with these two. I have Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit; But the problem is it is still showing 4GB in the System Properties. I did check the RAM slots, but they seem to be fine.
OK so this is with my sisters laptop, everything was apparently fine one day & not working the next.I've read it may be a driver issue & have re-installed the correct (I think) driver version, but this hasn't fixed the problem.
I Have a internal CDRW CED-8080B it appears as CD ROM Drive in the my Computer Section. Why is it not appearing as CDRW Drive?
It does Function Opens CD etc but when i try to burn i get an error.i did use a Windows 7 Trouble shooter and i said i could not burn with the drive i was then told that the Drive did not have Burning Capabilities.I Have Burn a CD In Win XP before i upgraded to Windows 7 i dont know why Windows 7 is not detecting it and only classes it as CDROM.
So I just moved to a new school which uses ACER TRAVELMATE 6293 as their laptops. When they first gave it to me they put a brand new battery in it and they gave me the wrong charger, greeeat, but I went back and got the correct one.Now, the laptop DOES charge. When I turn it on, it displays the battery icon with the charging icon over it if that makes sense, however it has a red cross over it and if you hover over that it says "no battery is detected". So you have no idea how long it has left to charge and so on. BUT if you take out the charger, the laptop will not turn on (as if the battery is flat, but surely it cant be because it has charged for 24 hrs.)Usually, I would just go to the IT guys/girls at school but seeing as they keep stuffing up and it is school holidays, I am hoping you kind and smart people have a solution. I have tried to get any dust out of the charger port/hole thing. And have also taken out and re-inserted the battery twice. This is driving me a bit stupid as I have homework to do. So just to make things clear, the laptop works completely find when connected to the charger except for what I said before. Oh and this is happens when I am on either the home or school image. And it runs on windows 7 of course
just purchased a Gateway P7902h Laptop on the 30th - it came with 64 bit vista and I decided to upgrade the OS to Windows 7 (64x as well).
Ever since the install the laptop has been unable to detect my graphics card, a Geforce GTX 260M. Every time I open a driver installation program (Gateway site only has the drivers for Vista 64x so I tried those, then the Windows 7 64x ones from the Nvidia website.) I get a 'could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your hardware' error.
Looking through the Device Manager under Display Adapters, it only has the Standard VGA Graphics Adapter and not the actual card itself. Can anyone help?
I'm running into this and issue and I can't peg down a cause. I recently updated my Vista HTPC to Windows 7. When booting up I can get into the OS, but the screen goes black shortly after.
I have tried two monitors: the Panasonic plasma just goes black and when I try Samsung Syncmaster LCD it looks like it's searching for digital, then analog sources.
I have an Nvidia 8400 GS card and I've tried both the 191.07 and 195.62 drivers. I've also let Windows install the drivers after uninstalling the Display Adapter in Device Manager in Safe Mode.
When I start in Safe Mode I cannot recreate the issue. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling the drivers in Safe Mode.
my usb keyboard works fine on my freind pc win7ultimate32bit, i have same os service pack 1 also installed, my usb is amkette company---better than local, Problemis that it was working grt for 5 months, but for past 3 weeks it is detected as a unknown device, it is detected sometimes as hid device and works well for 3-4 hoursbut then suddenly goes off and a popup with malfunction and unknown device appers all time, then it will never that day maybe 10 min sometime. i plug out all power cables,uninstall usb controllers tried everything on internet, some techniques work but no permanent solution. i even reinstalled windows last week no luck.It works on my freind pc., diff in my freind pc is he has intel motherboard and i have biostar a785ge everything up to date,only solution that is left is to use a ps/2 to usb convertor(i have to wait for 3 weeks).
this gives me an Error "Failed to find a supported hardware rendering device. Ensure that your system the minimu requirements of Company of Heroes. Verify that DirectX is properly installed and that you have the latest drivers for your system." this annoys me! i know i have directX and it is v11. the minimu req of the game is DirectX9c better if you have the latest.
I got 2 DVD : One blu-ray SATA writer and another Pioneer DVD PATA writer. I replaced my motherboard. My new motherboard doesn't have any PATA port. I decided to try this: SATA Serial-ATA to 3.5 IDE PATA Converter Adapter Cable | eBay
This thing works, my DVD is detected in BIOS, UDMA mode 4. DVD is bootable with the proper media, it is also detected and works fine in WinPE booted from my Blu-ray.
The problem is with my Windows 7 installation. The DVD is not detected after I boot. I have to go to Device manager and click "Scan for hardware change", then the DVD-RW is detected and it works fine after that.
I tried many things, I uninstalled Daemon tools, VirtualBox, I tried a registry fix (lowerfilter, upperfilter), no good.
This has been a problem since moving to a Windows 7 64 bit machine.
I plug a HDD into an external USB and...nothing. Not listed in the computer "tree" when I go to administrative tools/Disk management it is not listed, and in the bottom tray there is no icon to safely eject the drive, as if it isnt even there. It is spinning though so I am afraid to unplug it lest I corrupt info on the drive.
I already posted this in the general discussion forum but since then I think it has evolved from a windows 7 problem to a hardware problem. When I turn on my laptop I'm brought to a Windows Error Recovery screen from which I could choose to either launch startup repair or start windows normally. Eventually both options lead to Windows loading files and bringing me to a screen with 2 more options. One I can choose the HDD/Operating system but there is nothing to choose. I can also choose to restore my computer using a system image, but none of the options given have helped me other than identifying that the HDD was the problem. I can also load drivers which brings me to the system 32 folder in my X: drive.
