Windows 7 - Upgraded to W7. No sound. Creative Xfi card. Help! |

Upgraded to W7. No sound. Creative Xfi card. Help! I upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit. My sound card is a Creative X-Fi Audio Processor (WMD). I am not sure if that is the actual model name. That is the name that the device manager gives me. RE-installing drivers from Creative doesn't help. Tried the Daniel_K drivers and nothing seems to help. It just seems that Windows 7 is not even recognizing that there is a card installed at all! I have a Dell XPS 600 Pentium D 3.20 ghz 2 gig ram. I have spent several hours trying to figure this out. Please help! | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell XP 600 OS Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit CPU Intel Pentium D Memory 2 gig DRM Graphics Card Radeon 1900XTX Sound Card Creative XFi Audio Processor (WDM) |

Hi.
In device manager, right click on the card. Properties. Details tab. Change dropdown to hardware ids. Copy and paste the results here and I'll see what I can do.
Please no screenshot as alternative. That only makes it more difficult for me.

Alright. I made you a little something somethin because it's so old, it needed it. Download this link and extract it to a folder.
Then, right click on the audio device in the device manager.
Update driver software. Browse my computer. Let me pick. Have disk. Browse.
Now navigate to wdma_emu.inf in the extracted folder
and double click on it. Click ok. Click next and let it install.
You can then right click the speaker icon in the system tray near the clock and go to playback devices to set it as you want. You can right click on any shown and then set it to show disconnected and disabled devices, too. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number self built OS 7600.20510 x86 CPU P4 550 3.4 GHz HT running at 3.5 GHz Motherboard MSI PM8M3-V (MS-7211 v1.x) Micro-ATX mainboard Memory OCZ 2 GB(2x1GB) DDR400mHz running @ 414 mHz Graphics Card HIS Radeon HD 3850 IceQ 3 Turbo HDMI Dual DL-DVI AGP Sound Card MOTU Traveler firewire studio interface 192 kHz 24 bit Monitor(s) Displays 22" widescreen Acer X223W LCD, 17" Compaq P75 CRT Screen Resolution 1680x1050 and 1280x1024 Keyboard Logitch Classical Keyboard 200 Mouse Logitech Mediaplay cordless PSU 350W generic Case Cybertronpc, it glows blue Cooling stock cpu fan, Ice-Q 3 gpu and system, many case fans Hard Drives SATA I x2 WD, 400 GB and 120 GB, SATA 2 WD Caviar Black 1 TB Internet Speed 1792/448 kbits/sec Other Info SATA II PCI fake RAID adapter, 1 GB Readyboost, original ATI Remote Wonder (even works with WMC perfectly), Logitech Rumblepad 2 game controller x2 |

The sound icon at on the system tray still has the red x by it. See attached picture. Says no devices are installed. I made sure to check off disabled devices too. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell XP 600 OS Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit CPU Intel Pentium D Memory 2 gig DRM Graphics Card Radeon 1900XTX Sound Card Creative XFi Audio Processor (WDM) |

How does it look in the device manager? It should have installed well as I made the .inf specific for your device. Can you post a screenshot of it and also the general tab too? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number self built OS 7600.20510 x86 CPU P4 550 3.4 GHz HT running at 3.5 GHz Motherboard MSI PM8M3-V (MS-7211 v1.x) Micro-ATX mainboard Memory OCZ 2 GB(2x1GB) DDR400mHz running @ 414 mHz Graphics Card HIS Radeon HD 3850 IceQ 3 Turbo HDMI Dual DL-DVI AGP Sound Card MOTU Traveler firewire studio interface 192 kHz 24 bit Monitor(s) Displays 22" widescreen Acer X223W LCD, 17" Compaq P75 CRT Screen Resolution 1680x1050 and 1280x1024 Keyboard Logitch Classical Keyboard 200 Mouse Logitech Mediaplay cordless PSU 350W generic Case Cybertronpc, it glows blue Cooling stock cpu fan, Ice-Q 3 gpu and system, many case fans Hard Drives SATA I x2 WD, 400 GB and 120 GB, SATA 2 WD Caviar Black 1 TB Internet Speed 1792/448 kbits/sec Other Info SATA II PCI fake RAID adapter, 1 GB Readyboost, original ATI Remote Wonder (even works with WMC perfectly), Logitech Rumblepad 2 game controller x2 |
