SOUND CARD QUITS LESS THAN 2 MINUTES AFTER A REBOOT

(1/6) > >>

HDCOUNTRYGUY:
HELLO ALL!

I HAVE INSTALLED A CREATIVE TECHNOLOGIES SOUND BLASTER AUDIGY RX SB1550 IN MY TOWER WITH WIN XP PRO 64 BIT OS.  IT INSTALLED FINE AND THE CREATIVE LINK IS ABLE TO DETECT AND RECOMMEND UPDATE FOR DRIVERS ETC.  AND DEVICE MANAGER SAYS EVERYTHING IS INSTALLED AND WORKING FINE.  THE PROBLEM IS WHETHER I PLAY AN AUDIO CD, STREAM A RADIO STATION, OR OPEN YOU TUBE CONTENT THE SOUND CARD WILL PRODUCE SOUND FOR LESS THAN 2 MINUTES AND THEN TOTAL SILENCE.  I HAVE TRIED THIS WITH MY HEADPHONES AS WELL SAME RESULTS.  AFTER THE SOUND STOPS I CHECK DEVICE MANAGER, AND TASK MANAGER AND THE PROGRAMS ARE STILL RUNNING AND WORKING PROPERLY.  WHEN I REBOOT I GET THE WELCOME SOUND FOR WINDOWS OPENING AND WHEN I GO TO LISTEN TO SOME SOUND PRODUCING FORMAT SAME THING ONLY FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES.  I CHECKED THE RESOURCES AND THERE ARE NO CONFLICTS ANNOUNCED HOWEVER I NOTICED THE IRQ IS SHARED WITH 4 OTHER DEVICES ON THE PCI BUS, IRQ 16.  NOTE THIS CARD IS IN A PCI-E SLOT AND I'VE TRIED CHANGING THE SLOT AS WELL AND REINSTALLING THE CREATIVE SOFTWARE AND DRIVERS ALWAYS END UP AT THE SAME PLACE.  BTW, WHEN I 1ST EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM I THOUGHT IT WAS A HARDWARE ISSUE SO I RETURNED THE ORIGINAL CARD AND TRIED ANOTHER ONE, SAME RESULTS.  I THOUGHT ABOUT MANUALLY SETTING THE IRQ TO SOMETHING ELSE HOWEVER I AM UNABLE TO CLEAR THE 'USE AUTOMATIC SETTINGS' CHECK BOX, TO TRY THIS?  STUMPED!  PLEASE HELP!

THANK YOU,
H-D

Dear HD,
                   If you are having problem only on streaming and you tube audios, but not videos, Please try this and report
                 Go to adobe.com and uninstall the adobe flash player in your system , by the uninstaller found in there.            Then download  and install the latest from the adobe.com site. Normally this would fix the problem. pl try. This is not with sound card issue. If this is an issue with every audio, then there is some problem in the drivers. Please update the drivers from the Device Manager with internet connection. Go to Dev Man. Go to the Sound Device or some other name and then click it to find the device. double click the sound drivers to get properties. There you to update drivers and it will automatically download the drivers from website,either from msoft or it will say the manufacturer site. Download it and your problem should be over.

Samson:
Have you disabled the original onboard audio?

HDCOUNTRYGUY:
HEY GUYS THANKS FOR YOUR INPUT.

JRAJU:  THIS HAPPENS ON ALL METHODS THAT REQUIRE SOUND OUTPUT.  I DID UPDATE ADOBE FLASK PLAYER FROM THEIR SITE BUT DIDN'T SEE AN OPTION TO UNINSTALL MY PREVIOUS VERSION?  I HAVEN'T TRIED THIS OUT YET.

SAMSON:  I TRIED TO UPDATE THE DRIVER FOR THE SOUND CARD BUT THE EXISTING DRIVER IS THE MOST SUITABLE AVAILABLE ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET SEARCH FOR A BETTER DRIVER.  NOT ABLE TO DISABLE OR REMOVE ANY OF THE OTHER SOUND DEVICES FROM DEVICE MANAGER AND NOT SURE WHICH ONE IS THE ORIGINAL SYSTEM SOUND DEVICE, PLEASE ADVISE AND REFER TO ATTACHED SCREEN SHOT OF MY SOUND DEVICES.

I APPRECIATE ALL INPUT!

Samson:
Check that the Sound Blaster Audigy is the default device.

Control Panel> Sound & Audio Devices> Audio> Sound Playback click on down arrow and check that the Sound Blaster Audigy is selected as the default device.
