Yes sir i did disable the onboard sound. I switched the PCI slots of this card with another card which i know the PCI slot is working and still no luck. The system just doesnt seem to be able to detect it for some reason. Help!?

Tuesday, June 1, 2004 at 5:38 pm Posted by rodneyc8063 (4 messages posted) I tried the link that you provided and it brought me to the "Creative" downloads section of the website. I chose "sound blaster"->16-bit->Soundblaster Vibra 128 I selected windows XP as my operating system and i downloaded both: "Sound Blaster PCI cards Web Update for users running Windows 98SE, Windows ME, Windows 2000 or Windows XP. " Which didnt work, because it stated that "there was no sound blaster card found on my system". It seems that this was only the update for the previous drivers. Then i downloaded: Driver release for SB PCI 128 Vibra / PCI 16 (Models CT 481x & 4740) Filename: SBAudioSetup_W2k.zip Download Now Driver release for SB PCI 128 Vibra / PCI 16 (Models CT 481x & 4740) S128-DRV-W3-US This is a new stand-alone driver release of Sound Blaster Audio PCI for users running on Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows ME users only. This release is for the Sound Blaster Audio PCI Model CT481x, (the Sound Blaster PCI 128 Vibra) and CT4740 (the SB 16 PCI) and includes the following files: SBAUDIOSetupus.EXE SBAPW2k.LIB Which is the same file that i stated earlier that i downloaded, SBAudioSetup_W2k.zip......
