Installation Issue Audigy LS

The Audigy LS will not install...driver installation starts then give a message that no Audigy LS sound card has been detected and exits.

My onbard sound and Philips Sonic Edge work great.

Creative Tech Support was not much help...actually wanted me to have the software installed (sic) before troubleshooting over the phone!

Any ideas or known issues you might be aware of would be most welcome.

Thanks in advance

 

Try a different driver . If that doesn't work RMA it . Good Luck .

 

Why would you downgrade from the phillips to the audigy?

 

Solution to your problem is CTCOMP.exe... its a patcher that patches ur Audigy drivers so any card can use em... just google it and patch your drivers with it.. good luck

 

I have come to my senses and returned the Audigy LS! Thanks to all that have responded.

Monitors please lock thread (thanks)

 

That's weird. I just got an Audigy LS today, and it installed without a hitch. All I did was disable my onboard sound I was using, then I booted windows, and it said new hardware was detected, I put my Audigy LS installation disc in, and it went without a hitch. It sounds great, btw

 

Where are you getting your info from? No Phillips card is better then a Audigy LS. (Phillips does have good Drivers, but in terms of sound quality its not better)

Provide some proof .
