its not being picked up as a sound device, and ist not listed on the hardware devices!!!

Reinstalled as it was stopping my comp from booting.

Disconnected reinstalled, but still not showing though my Pc will boot just fine.

Is the card faulty?

Got it from here so what do I do's about retuning it, its only a few months old.
 
Did you try it in a different PCI Slot? What happens when you install the drivers? Does the installation complete, or does it complain about having no suitable hardware?
 
Havent tried another PCI slot, all the drivers install fine, although i am currently download the updated ones from the creative website.

What chipset moterboard and is it a fresh install of XP ?
 
Giga DS4

Iwas a fresh install of XP when i did my Conroe upgrade, but today i was installing a Ninga HS, so had to disconnect eveerything so i could work, put it all bacjk exactly as it was, and now the sound card doesnt work.

Ive checked ALL connections and cables 100 times over.
 
Okay, just tried to install the newer driver and it came up with the notice saying nothing could be detected.

Im really thinking their is a hardware fault now.

No idea really, perhaps someone more technical might know. Just glad it's working again for you. :)
 
No , i dont accept that lol


Maybe it was due to the excessive swearing i made towards it while having to shift things about?
 
ITS A CREATIVE
had a x-fi music version,tryed everything,including new drivers,different slots

went back ,to audigy 4 as worked with no probd
will get new s-card when see better
will not be creative
 
some silly IRQ problem or something :) glad its working mate - but keep an eye on it as said thats not ideal and something somewhere is working properly becuase in theory should be able to **** about with it as much as you like and it work first time every time. Oh and..


.. i envy you :p
 
hmm all very strange, ive had it for awhile.

Though this is a new MB and all, it was working with it till i had to replace the HSF.

All very strange.

I dont care though ITS WORKING!!!
 
Just had the same problem on an MSI 965 NEO board, tried everything couldnt get it going so ive RMA`d it. Unfortunatley they (NOT Overclockers) have run out of retail versions so im getting an OEM and a refund :P
