Creative Audigy

[edkis]

Audigy SE works but only with driver from Microsoft update and it not works in TV tuner.
I'm tried many vista drivers/modified divers audigy to x-fi - always BSOD !

Any ideas or skills ?

Hi, edkis, and welcome to the forums.

Creative has been lax when it comes to supporting 64bit and newer OSs - but have you tried the (equivalent) Vista driver? For instance, I have several pieces of hardware (Hauppauge PVR-1800 TV tuner, Logitech MX Revolution, my Acer X213W monitors, all of which I had to use the Vista drivers for. Also, I am using the Vista drivers for my RealTek HD Audio and nVidia GTX 260s as well....

Yes i'm tried many vista audio drivers /original creative or modified/ but always with a BSOD. All HW works great in this build but only audigy in tv tuner leadtek winfast tv2000xp expert had a trouble. Of course audio in OS is ok but it's only driver from MS /total easy driver - nothing advanced options/.

 

[johngalt]

Have you tried the method outline in http://www.sevenforums.com/drivers/789-windows-7-driver-solution.html

Of course, if your Vista and W7 are different architectures, this will not work (IOW both need to be either 32bit or 64bit, you cannot have one 32 and the other 64 for this to work)....

 

[edkis]

Of course i'm tried Windows 7 driver solution and all possible opportunities with W7. I know how that is difference between x86 and x64 os/drivers.

 

[johngalt]

But *I* don't know that you do or do not know the difference. Furthermore, it would be a folly on my part to assume that you do.

At this point, the only thing I can suggest is to contact Creative.

 

[edkis]

johngalt thank's for your time and ambition. I'm waiting for next build /beta version/ of W7. It will be a solution/compatibility maybe.

That is by design, IMO Creative forced Daniel K to strip out all the sound apps. This is typical for Creative driver support which is next to non existant.

About the only way to find that driver complete with apps is to look around for the torrent. I found one for my older Audigy 2ZS and all the apps work perfectly.

Link please

Link please

Your guess may be as good as mine. This is just a download link for the torrent, there is no telling if the torrent is being hosted or not or if these drivers will work as advertised. Site says these are modded X-Fi drivers for Audigy SE with working EQ and other stuff.

I, too, have an Audigy SE card. Creative has become a beast IMHO.

The card allows sound to my PC, but that's about it.

I've resorted to using Winamp to play MP3 files. WMP wants to cling to everything you run on it for the first time.

Back to Audigy - as mentioned before, nothing works - EAX, CMSS etc. - get error flags all the time. Have continually tried Creative's updates (that's another joke).

I used to have SBLive; Xfi Music Extreme; and finally this cheap-o Audigy from Wal-Mart ($30). The reason I GOT IT, was because Xfi did not have the feature "What-U-Hear" (or allow for it). So I was told to simply get a cheap Audigy at Wal-Mart and you will get back W-U-H. Come to find out, there are a couple or so versions of AudigySE, and guess what? One doesn't come with W-U-H. (mine)

What's wrong with these people at Creative, anyway?

Let's move on: Does anyone know of a new, excellent soundcard, that does not rely (behind the scenes) on Creative technology? Please let me know.

BTW - SoundBlasterLive5.0 (series) were the best cards Creative ever came out with. After that, things just got stupider and worse. Cuz they started catering to the NOISE & GAME freaks, instead of REAL MUSIC. IMHO. Also, Xfi was just too bloated and hard to figure out (reverb and other tweaks etc.) To me, anyway.

Thanks,

Chipper

Better known and supposedly decent brands other than Creative would be:

Asus
Turtle Beach
HT-Omega
M-Audio
Auzentech

But I've never used any of them and have lived with onboard sound or Creative. Maybe time for a change.

There are also a number of external USB sound cards from several manufacturers. Never tried one.

I don't know that this is any better, but I'll throw it in anyway:

SB P17X Series Support Pack 2.0 (07/31/2009) - Aud... - Creative Labs

 

[Capt.Jack Sparrow]

EAX .etc won't work these are known by Creative but no idea will they even release an update .. I'm also waiting for it as if now DanielK's is the only driver that work well as far as my knowledge. Maybe its a trick from them so we will buy a new card

Any word about new Audigy SE drivers ? - Creative Labs
