Audigy 2 but creative driver doesnt recognize it

chkelly · Apr 18, 2003, 11:23 PM

I have an audigy2 (basic model) and installed the cd drivers, but the damn update patch that i downloaded wont let me install it because it says it doesnt recognize an audigy2 card on the computer!!! not only that, but when i use createives online software detector, that doesnt recognize an audigy card either. Anyone else had this problem? Im using the audigy 2 card now!! argh

maybe you should check to make sure that the card is properly secured in the pci slot..

dallas, it is very secure. i was able to install the drivers from the cd and i am using the card..,playing music, playing raven shield with eax ETC, the card is definetely working.

Wasn't there some registry edit you had to do to make the updates see the card?

This is the same problem I had with Audigy2 - is this OEM model with colored connectors?

yep, were you able to fix?

BTW where do oem models come from? Creative makes it right? I hope this isnt some shady taiwan lookalike

I don't know who makes them, I got mine without CD. I use kX.
So far, you are stuck with your CD drivers.
Next update will hopefully have this Audigy2 OEM PCI ID, so you will be able to install them.
