Creative Sound Cards.

[Crispy]

I tried the drivers on my wife's computer and it works fine.

New Topic. Have read all the posts and still need advice. Have bought a used Creative X-Fi SB0770 card on eBay with no drivers or other support material. I have downloaded the PDF spec sheet from Creative.

I want to run it on Win 7 32 bit. Unfortunately it is not listed on the Creative website as having Win 7 support. Can anyone advise a software/driver package that will work.

A few extra details. The pc board is black. It has 5 jack inputs and an optical input and output. The card is quite wide at 10cm and 17cm long. It is a PCI slot fitting.

New topic should be a new thread. You will get a lot more attention on a new thread than in a dead one.

If there is a vistas 32 driver install it in compatibility mode
(right click the installer>properties>compatibility mode>vista)

That looks like an eom version. If you cannot install the latest from creative.com you can try the ones I found at alienware. The package is huge but I'm sure you should be able to install only the drivers from it. They are for Vista but they should work
Scroll all the way down for the SB0770 drivers
Alienware : The Ultimate Gaming Machineâ„¢

Zahl it is an OEM card I have since found out. Am downloading the Alienware version and will give it a try. Thankyou.

EDIT: A combination of this package which only works on Vista and then installing the SB X-Fi Series Support Pack 2.0 (05/15/2009) - Creative Labs suggested by stormy 13 did the trick.

I have the OEM card that came in a Dell Dimension 4550, 5.1 Sound Blaster Live! (Dell). The face plate has labeled SB0200 but the Dell's website points to the SB0203 model. Currently I use this card on another machine.

I can install the card and have a great sound quality. The problem is the impossibility of using the 5.1.

My question is: buy a new card is my only option?

I have used thousands of drivers and options available on the Internet and none solved my problem.

Guys, is there a way to get "What You Hear" for the Audig SE. I'm stumpped. Otherwise, I might have to ditched Creative coz it's an highly important feature to me.

 

[stormy13]

Unfortunately not. Seems things have changed any in the last year in regards to that feature on that card,

http://www.sevenforums.com/sound-audio/9590-record-what-you-hear-4.html#post654137

Why they removed disabled it on all those cards (the Audigy SE/LS/DE/Value, Xtreme Audio, SB Live 24 bit; which are all the same card by the way) and left it on the others, I have no idea.

 

[squall leonhart]

it isn't removed, or disabled, just not registered to windows by default.

As for the cards excluded, they aren't even EMUxkx devices. custom drivers are required for those cards from CMI

for the cards that are included, windows canot use the what you hear device as default input, its a windows limitation and not anything to do with the driver. You can't use stereo mix as a default device either on RTL/ADI chipsets either.

Then, if it's a Windows limitation, why can I use "What You Hear"/Stereo Mix on my on-board Realtek?? Then, what you say makes no sense.

You can't use stereo mix as a default input device, don't misunderstand, you can still select it as a recording device in most audio recording software.

Windows XP would take setting the Recording device as what you hear / line in as actually recording from those inputs, but windows 7 does not allow that on either of my ADI or Creative cards. That is,... opening up the creative mixer and setting what you hear as the input device would have it become the default for Sndrec or msn for example.

Still works fine as long as the device can actually be selected as an input source in the selected app.

OK, ok, I get it now. In fact, that's the only thing I miss from XP.

Any other way to erase everything without the third format??

Yes, you can try to download piriform's revo uninstaller, find the driver, and do the highest level uninstall in that utility and then re-installing the driver. Make sure the device is unplugged when you uninstall, and to re-install, plug back in and restart, windows should do the rest. If that doesn't work, you will have to re-install windows.

P.S. Sorry for the delayed reply.

 

[squall leonhart]

driversweeper will fully clean and remove creative drivers.

This is absolutely not required.

Has anyone here gotten the Feature Mode Selection Utility for Audigy 2 ZS Notebook to work in Windows 7?

 

[adanziger]

Lost my daniel_k driver Anyone have a link to it? Can't find it anywhere. Thanks.

 

[stormy13]

adanziger there is a link for the 1.5 support pack in the first post. Or if you want he updated it recently to the support pack 2.0 for the Live series,

SB Live! series Support Pack 2.0 (04/30/2010) - Creative Labs

 

[adanziger]

Support Pack 2.0 gives me BSDs nearing the end of the installation (tried several times), just not compatible wth my Dell 8200. I finally was able to salvage my Win7 backup and managed to pull my old driver off of that. I've now made a backup driver CD of every driver required on my system (using Drivermax) so this will never happen again. Thanks for the reply. (As hard as I tried, I couldn't find the link to 1.5 in that first post but it's sure there, I looked again!)

Now that I have all the drivers saved to a CD if anyone needs anything don't hesitate to ask.

 

[sygnus21]

For those of us with an X-FI Titanium card... Creative released (26 Jul 10) an updated driver (2.17.0008) for XP, Vista and 7. This one improves the loading time of the Audio Control Panel and enables selection of other microphones.

Later.
