can't install creative sound blaster audigy

Helloooo..... :wave
This is my first thread in this forum.
i just formatted my pc. Then I installed all the drivers. Everything was going fine but when i tried to install the sound driver, nothing was possible. I tried to do everthing but nothing worked. Then after googling for my problem i found a similar thread in your forum and followed it. And EUREKA!, it worked.

Now i have a creative sound blaster audigy 5.1 speakers. I tried to install them but it says " no sound blaster device found ".

What to Do???? :cry :cry :cry

Note: (1) The speakers were working properly before formatting.
(2) My sound card is of Realtek

additional info can be provided ..........

Thank You

Are you installing drivers for realtek or soundblaster?
which sound card do you have installed in your computer?

 

i am installing driver for soundblaster. and i have already installed the realtek one.

 

I don't have a creative sound card but speakers

 

Run the scan (at the top in blue) and see if your sound drivers are up to date.

yes my sound drivers are upto date.
i went to tell you that before formatting my speakers were working fine.
currently, only my 2 speakers are working. otherwise, My all 5 speakers work when the soundblaster thing work.

pls help

 

I understand what you are saying but there must be a reason all speakers are not working.
I am still researching.

 

I'm confused now, maybe I need to read this for a 3rd time but why are you installing drivers for creative sound blaster speakers when his sound card is a realtek, Aren't speakers are usually plug and play? And if drivers are needed for 5.1 speakers shouldn't you update the realtek drivers to accommodate the upgrade?

 

I have been looking around and can not find any reason for them not to work except for Realtec???????

 

Thanx

 

hey guys are you there

 

Check your settings and see if they are set up for surround sound...The following link has a guide for configuring the settings for surround sound.


Verifying that you have surround sound(Surround/Quad/4.1/5.1/7.1) configured correctly.

thank you.
I configured the settings but the problem still persists.
the creative installer says " no device detected "

 

Now i understand.
I bought The creative sound blaster audigy sound Card and speakers.
but that was 1 year ago .
then i sold my CPU and baught a new one with a realtek onboard sound card and that's why the creative installer is not detecting the sound card device.

please tell me isn't there any way i can run my all 5 creative speakers in the realtek card only.
Otherwise also when i bought my new CPU and installed the realtek sound card, all of them worked .
Pls Help

 

Lets start over, now that it has been established that you should not be using that creative sound blaster audigy cd for anything. take it out and place it in a cd case and put it on the shelf. Go to device manager come down to sound and right click on realtec, and delete the driver. run ccleaner and revo uninstaller and see if they locate anything from creative sound blaster audigy. reboot the computer windows should come with the found new hardware, let it look for the drivers and install them.
Now plug the speakers in and lets see what happens now.

 

Thank you
I did what you told me.
It worked like magic.
now my all 5 speakers are working.

Thanks a lot
You are surely great

 

I'm glad we finally got it working, for a while I was worried that it would never straighten itself out. sometimes you have to take a step back and start over.

 

Good on ya Buggabear i was scratching my head over this one and it was right there staring at us.
It never occurred to me to let device manager do the work http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Surprise/surprised-023.gif

 

Bill the part that had me lost was the installation of soundblaster drivers I read the post more than the 3 times i said i did and I couldn't understand why. I think that threw me off and I went another direction before I finally came back and realized that cd shouldn't be in play at all. I'm glad he got it going,:confused I couldn't see a reason for it not working.

 

Same here....Could not imagine why he would need drivers for a sound card he did not have installed...

Glad you got it going...!
