It is possible that the card is bad

you might be right ive just tried taking it out rebooting without it etc, but whe i put it back in it kept crashing loading windows up took it back out and comp is fine again

Hey guys,

after searching for an hour or so and not finidng solution i thought i best post, ive just got my new computer running windows 7 and for some reason it wont detect my sound card?

ive tried installing various drivers from the guides off here etc but they all say the same thing

"setup is unable to detect a supported product on your system "

the card is a sound blaster audigy sb1394

this is a print screen of my device manager







thanks !

Hi, can you please post your System specs, Thank You.

have you had issues with any other pci cards on this board just curious if say a modem would be detected?

I have found Sound Blaster cards can be rather finicky to install sometimes as well.

most likely, unless there are incorrect jumper/connector configurations on the card...
I have the same motherboard as you, I think the onboard realtek sound is actually pretty good anyway

its alright, just the quality in game doesn't seem as good and the mp3 is no where near as loud
