Creative Audigy and WIndows XP problem
Hi,
I am having a problem trying to install my audigy sound card onto my computer. Windows XP auto installs it as a " Creative Audigy Audio Processor (WDM) . When I try to install the card with the Creative software CD I get a message stating that "Setup could not detect any sound blaster audigy on your system. Please ensure that your sound blaster hardware is properly installed before running this setup program. Setup will exit now" I have tried everything from re installing it, removing the card/drivers to trying a different PCI slot to reformatting my computer. I have installed this card several times in the past and I have never seen anything like this. I can't think of anything else to do. Could the card be bad even tho Windows installs it and I still have sound through it? Thanks |

Nope, if the Creative software doesn't detect the correct hardware already installed on the computer it will not install it's drivers or any other Creative software having to do with the card, hence my problem.
