I experience problem with sound card drivers (Realtek ALC850 and SBLive 24bit!) under Windows 7 build 6801 x68.

Installation completes successfully, but drivers do not load with error code 39.

I tried to install different versions of drivers for Vista as well as installed drivers from Windows update with no result.

Other devices work stable with native drivers.

Does anyone know how to make system recognize my audio cards?

(Athlon X2 3800+, Gigabyte K8N-SLI, 2Gb DDR, Samsung 400Gb, Seagate Barracuda 11 - 500Gb, 2x Barracuda 10 - 80Gb)

No problems with the realtek drivers here.. sounds like it's a conflict or can't handle 2 different sound devices at once. Try taking out the sblive from the computer, get rid of its drivers and see if the onboard will then work. Then reverse it all, disable onboard sound in bios, put the sb card back in and see if it will work. Question, why do you need 2 different sound cards running at once?

I used both cards since I obtained my PC in the march 2006. I installed different OSs (Windows XP and Vista both 32 and 64 bit, as well as different Linux compilations) and driver versions but never experienced conflict between these cards.

My SBLive is connected to stereo amplifier, and I also use Realtek with headphones. It's very convenient for me.

I had to reboot into safe mode and uninstall the drivers. Then redetect and install the realtek ones.

Thanks for advice, I will try to follow it

Reinstalled Wndows 7, downloaded and installed drivers from Windows Update successfully. Seems that Vista drivers were incompatible with Win7. My advice is to install all drivers from Windows Update first.

Which drivers were detected by windows update, the Realtek card or SB Live? My X-Fi card was never detected by windows update.

My X-fi is working on Windows 7 X64, used the Vista x64 drivers, version 5.12.17.1144

SB live wouldn't work out of the box in vista (x32), needed livedrv-unipack to make it work, this might also work on Windows 7 (haven't tried it, as the sb live is stored somewhere other then inside a computer).

I took out my Soundblaster X-Fi Extreme Audio card and enabled the on board Realtek sound chip. It worked fine. I just tried again to install the Vista 64bit driver for the X-Fi card but still no good. I downloaded the Soundblaster X-Fi Extreme Audio Web Update five installer and while trying to install the driver get an error message "Driver version not found"

I have a Sound blaster Live! card and it works but it the sound is a bit distorted any one else have this problem?

Yes. Since my x-fi card didn't work I tried an old Soundblaster Live card. I'm not sure what driver I downloaded. It installed but oh my god! Mine wasn't a bit distorted. It was almost all distortion. I even uninstalled Windows 7 64bit and installed the 32bit version. The Soundblaster cards still don't work. I'm also having an issue playing a dvd with Media Center. I put in one of my "West Wing" dvds and the picture kept freezing.
