Creative ES1371 installed, not working

Kella · 10-14-2006, 09:27 AM

I have installed my creative soundblaster card into another tower... This sound card has worked just fine up until the switch, I disabled the onboard, reserved IRQ5 for it, as I don't have any printers or anything in line to use that IRQ, and installed the drivers.

it's not working. In device manager, it says the device is enabled and working properly, but the windows audio service refuses to start, giving the error message "no module found", and the same message is in the sounds and audio control panel module.

Please help? I'm getting severely agitated and I miss my sound. :(

...and now, after several reboots, the taskbar isn't showing the progams that are open. when i minimize a program, it sits on TOP of the toolbar, ala windows 3.x

Download and install the latest drivers for your Creative SoundBlaster at the official website here. Many strange problems with SoundBlasters have been fixed in newer drivers, especially Live! series which have been notoriously buggy when used in certain system configurations. Try it out and see if this helps.

thanks, i tried those initially... didn't work... then, in a fit of frustration, i shut down and popped in another soundblaster card I'd scavenged from an older tower, in which it had quit working... it gave me a sound-related error when I booted up, then five minutes later, as I was messing with things, it gave me another error complete with the xp "boop" sound. so, not quite sure what i did, but ...yay?

lol thanks for the suggestions.
