Wannes Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Hey, I've tried every possible method of installing the damn soundcard but it will just not work. I've installed Windows 7 Ultimate (fresh install) yesterday but my Audigy soundcard will not produce any output, whatever driver I've tried. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can resolve this issue as it's not something I like. Google has not helped me an awful lot, most drivers don't bring the solution. Kind regards, W.

Yochanan Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 I'm not sure what drivers you've tried, but the Windows 7 Compatiblity Center says your card should work. Have you tried daniel_k's drivers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo158 Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 (edited) This is the same issue people had with this card on vista, I'd get rid of that POS Creative card and go for a different manufacturers card instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried daniel_k's drivers? I've tried Daniel_k drivers but I'm not sure it were these. I'll check them out tonight. This is the same issue people had with this card on vista, I'd get rid of that POS Creative card and go for a different manufacturers card instead. If above situation doesn't work, I hope that's not the only solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree on this. Gave that card the boot a long time ago. Creative have ****ty drivers. If above situation doesn't work, I hope that's not the only solution. Trust me, it is.

Rolf Harris Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I have the same card as you, currently running Windows 7 Ultimate X86 with the default driver that was installed at startup. Works just fine here, No idea how to rectify the issues you're having though. Sorry. :blush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToneKnee Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Try PAX's drivers instead, always worked for me. And not to sound like an ass when I say this but, have you tried all the Outputs on the card? Some drivers switched the Front and Back speakers ports because the back speaker ports had less noise on them. So if you have a 2 Speaker setup or something, then you could simply have it in the wrong port. But that's me clutching at straws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wannes Posted January 25, 2010 Author Share Posted January 25, 2010 I am using Logitech Z5500 (5.1) speakers on the card which uses 3 jack-connections. I've connected them using the representative colours on the card itself. You do not sound like an ass, not at all, when giving such solutions. I will try switching them. Currently I'm not at home - will be within an hour or 5 - and I'll keep you all updated. I appreciate the effort you guys put into this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wannes Posted January 25, 2010 Author Share Posted January 25, 2010 Daniel K's drivers did it for me. I have now full sound allowing me to, finally, enjoy Logitech's capabilities. Thank you to all helping me out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geekers Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I experienced total silence from my Creative Audigy Soundblaster 2 card after installing Windows 7 even though drivers were fully up to date. SOLUTION: go to 'Control Panel'/ open 'Device Manager'/ open 'Sound, video and game controllers'. If your system includes any sound devices (eg on board sound chip) right click and choose disable option. This gives priority to the Soundblaster. On my Asus board the onboard sound was listed as 'High Definition Audio Device'. My problem solved with immediate effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
