Sound Blaster Audigy

but how would i make it figure that out

A quick check in the bios, and make sure that the onboard audio is disabled.

Just in case this is the driver you need,

Creative Sound Blaster audio driver 1.04.0090

After downloading use something like Winrar to extract the downloaded file. Once extracted open Device Manager, go to the multimedia device, right click on select "Update driver". Then,

1. select Browse my computer
2. select "Let me pick'
3. click on "have disk"
4. click on Browse and find the extracted folder and point it to the folder that contains p17.inf, will look like this,

SB24_PCDRV_LB_1_04_0090\Drivers\vista

Assuming the unknown multimedia controller is your Audigy that should get the driver installed. Give it a try and please report back whether it worked or not.

omfg, that worked, thanks so much, now ill probably never boot in xp tho lol

Good to hear (no pun intended).

Up to you but if you want some of the apps to go with it you can give this a try,

SB P17X Series Support Pack 2.0 (07/31/2009) - AudigySE/Value/LS_Live24bit_X-Fi XtremeAudio_SB5.1VX - Sound Blaster - Creative Labs

It is based on the same driver you just installed, and comes with some of the apps from the X-Fi Xtreme Audio (which is basically identical to your card).

hi

I had the same problem of my creative soundblaster not being seen in Windows 7.

What I did was
1. Go into Bios and disable onboard sound card
2. Shut down and power off your computer.
3. Take out the sound blaster, plug in the power and reboot your computer without the soundblaster card in.
4. Shut down your computer and take out power cable and then reinsert your sound blaster.

It should then be detected by windows 7
Then install the latest drivers and software from Creative and it should work.

Hope this helps

will give these 2 solutions a go in a few days time
