Creative Audio Center lock up fix

Flames_Of_Origin · 02-03-2012, 11:34 AM

After calling Asus, the tech tried to convince me to reset my pc back to factory default! Really?

Is the problem with Creative Audio Center so extreme that I have to result to this?

I really hope someone here can help get this problem resolved not just for me, but all of us who can't get this fixed!

Again, many of the old links are either broken or outdated.

Hello FlamesOfOrigin, have you tried installing the latest Realtek Drivers (2.67)? You can download it at their website on this link.

Uninstall first your old Realtek Drivers and then reboot then install the new one you have downloaded.

Hi JehutyZeroshift. Thank you for helping me out with this. I did exactly what you suggested and it still didn't work.

I uninstalled old Realtek Drivers, rebooted, installed Realtek Drivers 2.67, rebooted, installed latest Creative Audigy Driver from Asus' website:

ASUSTeK Computer Inc. -Support- Drivers and Download G73Jh

and rebooted again.

What am I doing wrong? I've done this about 5 times. Beyond frustrated. I'm about to "reboot' my laptop out of the window.

I've got the same problem...only, I can't even install the Audigy software, it tells me there's no compatible devices on the laptop, regardless of which version of the Realtek drivers I have installed. I've tried the original ones from the linked driver cd, the modded drivers(as well as the X-Fi software that DIDN'T work) and the most up to date Realtek drivers, nothing lets me install the Audigy software.

ryboto, at any point did you try running driver sweeper to remove all traces of the audio software, or CCleaner? IF you try either be sure you are running the latest versions of each and I would recommend a system image B4 running if you are not familiar with using either program.

Guys, I'm still not getting this fixed.

Flames_Of_Origin · 03-26-2012, 12:54 AM

bump. can anyone please help me resolve this once and for all?

Flames_of_Origin After you remove the drivers via uninstalling try running (in Safe mode) DriverSweeper 3.2 Phyxion.net - Driver Sweeper
You may have 3 entries (at least I do) for Asus sound, creative sound and Realtek sound
As Mite_Jan said you do not need creative for the woofer to work (assuming this is not a hardware issue such as a loose connection)
Last resort would be a clean install of win 7 Complete Walk-through For Doing A Clean Windows 7 Install

Thank you Josea and everyone else for your patience with me. I've tried it (even with drivesweeper) again and I'm still not getting it to work.

I'm going to just pass on Real Tek/Creative whatever. Are there any other programs out there that will allow me to use my subwoofer?

Again, thanks for all of the support.
