Anyone know where I can get my hands on Creative Sound Blaster Audigy drivers for XP media center edition 2005? I tried everything. They don't have the driver for it on the download page. I even tried XP's but it won't work.
I tried a modded driver from YouP, it does work but the sound is messed up. no.gif

Anyone know? Been searching for 2 weeks now sad.gif

What is the problem exactly? I have an Audigy 2 and it works just fine with MCE2005.

Auto detect doesnt work. It says "failed to install" error.
There is no Audigy 1 driver for MCE2005 on the creative site.
So I head to creative's site for the XP ones. Installed, still wouldnt recognize the Audigy board.

The best way to get it to work would be to install the drivers from device manager. Just choose update driver from a right click in device manager. And point it to the .inf on the cd. If memmory severs it would be something like this from the root of the cd >>Audio\Drivers\Win2K_XP. Let Windows install the drivers. After a reboot you can just auto-run the cd to install the rest of the software. I have ran into that before on XP as well as MCE. Sometimes Creative can't detect any Creative cards installed in the system. I do not know the exact cause. But that should solve the problem.
