Windows 7 no sound?????

[inspector71]

I just updated all my SOUND BLASTER x-fi platinum fatal1ty drivers and i am still getting no sound on windows 7. Is there something else i need to download since this is an RC.

i had something like that accept only 2 front speakers would play and surround sound wouldint work. I couldint install drivers on it because it said no supported product was found. I tried my onboard realtek audio and that works fine. So maybe you can try another sound card or you onboard to see if that works. also check device manager if it sees your card. and if you have any other audio cards installed you might want to go to device manager and disable them.

My sound card works fine with my xp and vista on my other two hard drives buts it's just not working with windows 7.

hmm well my sound blaster worked fine with xp but not win 7 either. maybe some one else can help us out

Try the latest drivers from creatives web site ? They have Windows 7 Drivers now, not sure but they might be beta lol

Creative has been notorious for poor driver support as of late. I've heard they're improving, but I refuse to drop $100 + for a sound card that may or may not work flawlessly for me when my onboard sound does.

yes but i have tried the creative drivers for windows 7 and it did not help. win 7 beta wont eeven see my card it shows in device manager but when i go to update and install the drivers it says no supported product found, wow eh decided to just use my onboard sound works fine for now.

INSTALL THE OLD DRIVERS IN XP COMPATIBILTY MODE.....THAT MIGHT GET THEM WORKING

yeah that is odd I have 2 different Audigy cards on 2 different systems (one AMD and one Intel, AMD one is a Compaq and the Intel is a home built system) they both work pretty well, the AMD based system has an Audigy 1, the Intel system is an Audigy 2 Fatal1ty edition.

I do have to say I liked them better under XP but I blame that on Creative being lazy with the drivers more then anything else.

But since your card is not even showing up in the device manager I believe you have deeper issues with your install or your sound card died ? (maybe disable your on board sound in the BIOS ?)

Thats a perplexing issue to be sure.

I'm having the same problem with my Sound Blaster 16 PCI Digital Sound card Model CT4730. Win 7 won't recognize it and I can't find a driver for it. any suggestions?

 

[huntsman]

Same here worked on xp but not win 7 tried onboard and a sound blaster live card ,got new drivers for win 7 and still no sound ...

If you run the W7 hardware compatibility test it will tell you that your creative cards aren't worth D*** It does with my x-fi anyway....

Creative blows for driver support.


Edit: This should be the one
