I keep hearing that I may need to update Windows soemthings, maybe
drivers, for my Creative Soundblaster aubigny or something SE to work.
(I'm not at home where the specifics are.)

I did all updates on my computer from teh computer manufactuer, and I
tried updating the drivers for teh sound card I can't get to work.

What spefically in Windows would I need to update, and how would I
update it?

Is it true that I can and should reinstall Service Pack 2 without
wiping out my system and the other programs on it? If so, do I need
to uninstall it first?

the Audigy (SE) card requires that you have used the drivers that are on the
included CD Rom disk. Then, you can update these drivers from Creative Labs
web site. However, you need the CD Rom version of the drivers FIRST. If you
do not have the CD ROM, you need to contact Creative Labs in order to get a
copy. They do/will not publish a full driver package.

What does the manual for the soundboard say about this issue?

So far, I can't see where you have given a reason to remove/reinstall SP2.

Jim

For the person who wrote I need to have the soundblaster install CD and
then update the drivers online, I ahve it and it's been done.

Manual for the soundblaster card, which I assume is what you're talking
about, says little of anything.

I specifically need to know what are these drivers that I find in my
system devices under multimedia, sound etc.;

Microsoft Kernel System Audio; Logitech driver lvusbstu.sys and
Microsoft sysaudio.sys; and

Microsoft WDM Audio Compatibility Driver; Logitech lvusbstu.sys and
Microsoft wdmaud.sys.

>From the page below
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...eef24f.xml.asp,


it looks like these are Windows sound drivers (and clone Logitech
drivers) that do pretty much what my sound card drivers do, and could
be what is preventing it from working.

But I need to know what I am doing before I uninstall them.

Could someone please answer teh more important of my questions instead
of repetively telling me to plug my plugs in the right places adn get
the sound card install CD? ARGH!

Supporting my theory is that someone else trying not to answer the
question I asked, told me to download and install a utility called
Everest, which tells me what drivers I am actually using for what.

It says I am using two midi drivers; the one that came with my
Soundblaster card, and Device Identifier Device Description
midi-out.1 0001 0066 Microsoft GS Wavetable SW Synth, which is one of
the two files I specifically keep asking me about that people keep
speaking to everything else on God's green earth.

Now. What am I specifically supposed to do with those Windows and
Logitech drivers?

And if you tell me to read my manual again, I will fax it and send it
to you.

Yours,
Dora
