    Sound blaster drivers after restart


    This is my orginal problem: my soundcard is the SB audigy 2. Back in XP the drivers usually worked fine and produced the right 'loudness' of sound.

    It seems in windows 7 to only produce sound at the 40%-60% levels compared to XP. i know this for a fact since i've done testing.

    So people told me to downland the daniel k drivers (SB Audigy Series Support Pack 3.6 (11/09/2009) - Creative Labs)

    New problem: These drivers worked and fixed the problem however after i restart it goes back to the 40%-60% sound levels. What is happening is it rolling back the driver or what and how do I fix it?

    More info: I run the installer and it asks me to restart to uninstall the old drivers I do that. Then when the computer reboots I re run the installer and the drivers install. Now my sound works perferctly however when I restart the next time it's back to the problem.

    any ideas? thanks.

    Did you do this first?
    IMPORTANT: Before installing this version, start Windows in Safe Mode and delete the following files:

    - 32-bit: C:\Windows\System32\UDAAPO32.DLL
    - 64-bit: C:\Windows\System32\UDAAPO64.DLL and C:\Windows\SysWOW64\UDAAPO32.DLL

    These drivers are supposed to fix the low volume problem.
    Fixes and improvements:

    - Fixes the static issue when playing audio using DirectSound, WaveOut or WASAPI interfaces.
    - DTS Interactive encoder now works on Windows XP without any tricks.
    - Fixes a cosmetic issue on Audio Console, encoder status now says DTS Interactive.
    - Readds support for 64-bit OpenAL and 64-bit ASIO.
    - Fixes Microphone not available on Audigy1 cards on Windows 7 / Vista.
    - Enables support for WASAPI exclusive-mode event-driven playback, seems to be working just fine.
    - Fixes the enhancements errors in Windows mixer and Windows Media Player.
    - Adds Microsoft Audio Home Theather Effects for both Speakers and S/PDIF Out endpoints.
    - Includes Encoder Switcher to enable DTS Interactive on Audigy cards.
    - Fixes the Audio Console "Internal application error" when enabling the DDL Encoder on localized installs.
    - Updates Audio Console to display DTS Interactive in the Encoder tab when Encoder switcher is used.
    - Workarounds a bug that unexpectedly resets the speaker configuration.
    - Prevents an issue during installation on Windows 7/Vista that may result in low volume when certain enhancements are enabled.
    - Implements Hardware CMSS Headphone by using a workaround.
    - Updates all InstallShield setup scripts to support Windows 7.
    - Fixes installation INI to properly install applications depending on the detected OS.
    - Removes COM workaround for Equalizer, fixed by Creative.
    - Adds workaround to a memory corruption issue preventing Equalizer from starting on Windows 7/Vista.
    - Updates shared modules, responsiveness on certain applications is improved.
    - Enables CMSS2 and Stereo Surround.
    - Fixes 32-bit ASIO not working on Windows 7 x64.
    - Fixes Encoder not available on Windows 7 x64 (related to fix above).
    - Sets default speaker setting to 5.1 to properly reset configs to their defaults during install (fixes Bass and Treble leves not set to 50% on Windows 7 / Vista).
