Dulorn 0 Posted October 5, 2000 What might be making my AWE 64 Gold make 2 poping noises every once in awhile? Using default W2K drivers.

jdulmage 0 Posted October 5, 2000 you just answered your question, hehe Default Windows 2000 drivers, eek, don't use them. goto Creative's site and use their drivers, it'll make things better. ------------------ Whistler is or will be better than Windows 2000, if you don't think so, get a reality check and hope it doesn't bounce.

jdulmage 0 Posted October 5, 2000 hmm...yeah. I noticed that Creative has no drivers for AWE64, you could give those a try, they are NT 4.0, but you never know. ------------------ Whistler is or will be better than Windows 2000, if you don't think so, get a reality check and hope it doesn't bounce.

DFB 0 Posted October 5, 2000 A while ago I had difficulties with my AWE64 Value. I've tried ever driver I've been able to find (Win9x, WinNT4, etc) and have found none to work, and most to generate larger problems. I'm afraid us AWE 64 card users are out of luck. On a side note, I did find that a format and complete reinstall fixed my problem (VERY loud crackling when using a microphone, unusable before the format).

Corinthian 0 Posted October 5, 2000 My AWE64 is working even better than it did under windows 98, using the drivers that came with Windows 2000. The sound is the same as before, but now I can get sound from more than one source at once... what this means is that I can play Quake2 and play mp3's at once. Under Windows 98 I had to close Winamp when I started a game, or else I would get an error message telling me that the sound card was already being used. Share this post Link to post
Dulorn 0 Posted October 5, 2000 Guess I could replace it with a sound blaster live, but then creative will forget about that one too after awhile. (driver/software support, not selling you more of them though) Share this post Link to post
Dulorn 0 Posted October 6, 2000 Nevermind, I'm a sucker, went out and bought a SB live platinum to replace it. =( Share this post Link to post
