Creative SoundMax IE: None of the items like MIXER will work.
Hello,
The sound card I am using is a SupremeFX-X-Fi that came with the Asus MB. I am running a dual boot system with Xp Pro SP3 and Win7.
As per Ulrich's on the Asus forum I d/l'd the 64 bit sound driver set for the Rampage Extreme MB. I unzipped them and used the "AsusSetup" icon to install. After the installer ran it wanted a reboot so I did that. Then I got another message asking if I want to run (x86)analog devices\core\smax4pnp.exe to which I agreed. Nothing happened and there was no reboot required.
Then using the MB CD I installed all the Creative Stuff. NOW I have the "SoundMax Integrated Digital Audio Volume Panel" in my tooltray as I do in XP but it doesn't do anything.
When I choose MIXER I get " No Supported audio device App will close"
When I choose Karaoke Player "Audio device for this app not detected."
When I choose Console Launcher " No supported audio device available close app."
When I choose Audio Console " Device supported by this app not detected close app."
So in effect, I am no further along than I was with the default Win7 driver settings.
I don't know why I had to register the SoundMax card or software if it won't function!
I even tried a re-install of the drivers themselves after I had all the Creative stuff installed and that did no good. I am back to square one with it all <sigh>
What to do now? The SoundMax HD soundcard shows up in Device Manager so it clearly knows it's there and yes I have sound but only at the most basic level. I need control of the bass and treble at the very least.
Is the fact that I am running a dual boot system with XP
and Win7 the trouble? The MIXER and all other controls work fine in XP fwiw.
Yes I did read the very topmost sticky post but am unsure if any of these options will help me get it working as needed.
Thanks to all,
J Tinsby
