Hello!

I have a problem installing kx drivers for my „Audigy 2 ZS Notebook – PCMCIA“ on my Thinkpad. I use WinXp Prof. SP2.

I downloaded the full driver version (kxdrv3537-full.exe) from your page.
First I want to say, before I never used the Soundcard on this Notebook before, so never had the Creative drivers on it.

To visualize my problem, please visit the link below, I will use the content in the following!
[color=#800080]http://kb.kxproject.lugosoft.com/guide/softinst.html[/color]

What I did:


I just followed the instruction, presses the “Install” Button. The first message box “kx Setup will now install new drivers for your soundcard....” apears correctly, so I pressed OK.
After this my failure appears. Setup jumps over the next four message boxes shown in the article above, they does not appear!


- “Do you wish to install kx Drivers..... ”
- “The software you are installing for .... kx 10k1 Audio...”
- “Do you wish to....”
- “The software you are installing for ... Game Port...”


The next msg box I see correct is “...VST Plugin...”.
After reboot kx mixer does not start up, and the soundcard shows a failure “Unknown Audio device” in the Device Manager. Trying to Update Drivers manually failed either.
I checked the debuglibs (MFC42D.DLL and MSVCRTD.DLL), the are in system32.

For manuall installation I could not find the *.rar file I read about, but I think it has the same content as the *.exe setup file in the install folder.

So, does anyone of you have an idea to solve this problem?
Looking forward for some answers,

Florian Gasser

The only version that works at all with the notebook is 3538j.

Thanks Doug W!

I did not know this!
This new version is not available at http://kxproject.lugosoft.com/

Maybe someone should up date this?
Is there a reason for not updating?

Thanks Florian Gasser

3538j is still in the testing phase, I think that is why it isn't on the main download page.

3538j is working with a few bugs with the audigy 2 zs notebook. However, i never got my input routing working...

if anyone has, please msg me.

Thx

Hi!

I tried it with the new drivers, but it does not work.
After reboot a message "Initializing Soundcard failed...try to install again" appears.

I have chosen the driver for Modell SB0530, so I think thats right.

I can see the soundcard in Device Manager, but with the "yellow (!)" --> "Device can not be started".
Tried to install the drivers manually, did not help.

Any ideas for this?

Thanks, Florian Gasser

Hi again, I have solved my problem! But its really strange!!!

It is not possible to start Windows with the PCMCIA card inside --> "Device can not be started"

But, when I start without the card, and put it in when Windows finished booting, it works without any problems!!! So is this a known bug??? What could it be??

So, my beer is waiting for me, Flo

Relatively speaking, I think there is a small pool of people using the A2 ZS Notebook so there is not a long history with this card and kX. Everyone is watching to see how you come out.
