Update the driver from the manufacturers Website, if that doesn't work your sound card doesn't support them.

If you haven't might want to give this a try,

SB Audigy Series Support Pack 3.8 (04/19/2010) - Creative Labs

There are also explanations about why most of those items that failed don't work in Windows 7.

Don't hold me to it but I'm pretty sure the Mixer doesn't work in Windows 7. Also have a look here,



and make sure it is set to 16 bit and not 24 bit.

Also which Audigy is it (the model number; will look like SBxxx on the card: will help)? Is it from the 1/2/4 series, or from the SE/LE/LS/DE/Value series?

It is a SB0090.. Old one and I am testing it on another computer with win7 Ulitimate to see if it will work ....i

According to Creative, there are Win7 drivers for the SB0090:

It's supposed to support both 32 and 64 bit versions of Win7.

Good luck.

Thanks .. I have looked there .. it is the same driver I got now .. probably the card is just too old ... If I get the mixer I should be ok but I can't find it anywhere ..all the help here is well appreciated ..grateful for all your responds.

You shouldn't need the Mixer as most if not all what it could do can be done in the Audio Console that gets installed with the drivers,



Between that and the setting/options available in the Windows settings, you should be able to set it to anything you need. As far as I know the old Surround Mixer doesn't work with 7 or Vista, could be wrong but pretty sure it it worked Daniel would have included in his driver packs.

P.S. That screen shot is from my kid's computer with an old Audigy ES in it, running on HP x86 (and have an Audigy 4 running on the wife's on Ultimate x64, and both using the same driver packs). Only difference between it and yours is yours has the gold plated jacks and the fire wire port, other than that they are identical spec-wise.

Back to the original problem,

My speakers partly working..

In what way are they not working?

 

[madmansam]

Thanks for the feedback ... out of 5 speakers and a sub I only get 3 ... all leads in the right place and all setting in audio console is correct ..when I test centre speaker I get nothing same as the sub .. it is set to 5.1 and has the latest driver .. I am very familliar with setting but all utilities for SB are greyed or not there ..I have installed just the driver from the pack as advised ...speakers are not faulty as they worked on XP and Vista before ... strange...the computer I am testing has a win7 Ultim.but got a sound max on board .. probably I have to uninstall that.. I will give it a go and keep you posted... thank you all.

I have exactly the same problem. But I manged to run center but not subwoofer and then to run subwoofer but not the center. (I just had to swicht connectors - put subwoofer+center into back repro input) SO I am now using 2.1 with 5.1 setting.
