Audigy + WDM Drivers = Disaster?

Posted by Cliff on from the hardware-that-just-refuses-to-work dept.

Matt Pollard asks: "Help! I have an Audigy. I have tried it in Windows Millennium with three sets of WDM drivers. I have tried it in Windows XP with three different sets of WDM drivers. I sent the card back to NewEgg and got a new one. I tried it with a new set of drivers in XP. I tried it in my friend's box with the new drivers. I tried it in different PCI slots. every time, a hard freeze. Creative tech support has been...less than useful." Has anyone been able to get the Audigy to work under later versions of the Windows OS? If so, what was the trick?

  1. I have problems by Bodero · · Score: 3, Informative

    I, too, have problems with the Audigy Platinum under Windows XP. I don't have sound in my rear speakers when using analog mode. I am using the latest update from the Creative website. A lot of people on news.creativelabs.com in products.sound_blaster.audigy reproduce my problem, but none can document a fix for it if they had experienced it. They say, however, that Creative is about to release new Audigy drivers on their website, so be patient.

    I've been supportive of narrow-interest topics before. But there are too many "how do I use x with y Ask Slashdots. Unless there's a broader issue that will interest people who don't have the exact same problem, these belong on USENET or one of those mutual-help sites.
