Minotaur 0 Posted September 20, 2002 well, all was working fine. realllllly fine. but UT2003 asked me to download a audigy driver to fix some stuttering in game with EAX being used. so i head over to creative.com and try to find the AUDIGY driver which matched my card. i downloaded the file. ~12mb .exe and extracted it and installed it, it removed a whole whack of files, and told me to reboot. so i did. BSOD forever when it tried to reboot. so i F8 and i get DETECTED NEW HARDWARE PCI DEVICE i hit cancel to it and look in device manager and there are a whole wack of yellow ? hmmmmm..... and of course i proceed to go with found new hardware. and as usual it craps out and says it cant find anything. so i go and try to run the .exe again in safemode. (no creative device found exiting installation) was the answere. so i then UNINSTALL all the creative labs stuff and don't need to remove it from DM since it aint there anymore and try to reboot normally with my audigy cd in hand to go the (as if installing from scratch route) and i still get the same BSOD error some EMXXX error (i am assuming it is still creative since that is a EMULK chip... so i then F8 and try that LAST KNOWN GOOD BOOT option. and get BSOD again. so i boot with win2k cd in and try REPAIR option, and reboot and BSOD again. hmmmmm..... so that is where i left it at. ..... frustrated and didn't want to rupture a blood vessel..... any thoughts or tips..... later i will try and completely pull the audigy from the pci socket and see where that goes....

I bet your soundcard will now be named: EMU1K or something like that... You need to install your original drivers from the CD... For those who do not know: AudioHQ is not seperately downloadable from Creative Labs, you need an original CD... I did.. Share this post Link to post
GTwannabe 0 Posted September 26, 2002 You need to install the official Audigy CD immediately after a fresh Windows install. Reboot, then install the Audigy update. When that's done, don't frig with it anymore! That's the only way to reliably get the Audigy drivers/software to install and actually work correctly. Also UT2003 needs an OpenAL driver installed to run correctly. Share this post Link to post
