SOUND CARD QUITS LESS THAN 2 MINUTES AFTER A REBOOT
jraju:
Hi, Boggins. The link was checked and it works. Please see the solution.It is for this sound blaster sound card
Boggin:
Thanks jr, it works for me now but still hung a bit.
Going back to HD's opening post, he said that the card works for less than 2 mins so it isn't as the problem in that MS article.
From the dxdiag report, Windows doesn't like the driver's unverified signature and is causing the card to crash.
jraju:
Hi, Boggins that verified is not a big problem. I also downloaded Realtek drivers, which says the drivers are not verified. The solution is eventhough looks somewhat not acceptable, microsoft specifically written an article on that.
Regarding diag tool, when you click NO to the sound test, you get those messages. error no 19, . I experienced the same, when i click ok, when actually i heard no sound, it says everything ok.
I still feel that it is really a driver problem. Microsoft specic that there are some incompatibility in their drivers and Sound Blast drivers. The topic suggest, that though the sound plays, you could not hear if the digital sound settings is enabled in the volume settings. The whole article only dealt with it. The specific cause as in the article is reproduced below:his issue can occur because of an incompatibility between the playback configurations of the sound card driver and the settings in the Windows XP volume controls; you can configure both the sound card software and the Windows XP volume controls to use either analog output or digital output.

Hi, This is also a solution
Try
Go to the speaker icon in the System tray, right click it, and click Adjust Audio Properties. If there's no speaker icon there, go to Control Panel\Sounds and Audio Devices.
In Sounds and Audio Devices on the Volume tab, click Advanced in the bottom (Speaker Settings) box, and click Performance on the next page. Where it says Sample rate conversion quality, that is the equivalent of the same thing in Vista and above that you can adjust to 44100Hz or 48000Hz. For reference, think of the far right position as 48000Hz, and the next position down as 44100Hz. You can also try dropping Hardware acceleration on that page if you're experiencing audio problems.

Hello Guys,
Jraju: i have attached a screen shot of my sound settings that you keep refering to, there is no choice to disable 'digital'?
Boggin: Before your latest suggestion I did try a complete uninstall to the best of my ability and knowledge and the reinstall did hang up at 80% audio files then requesting if i want to proceed without ms authentication I said yes then got a blue screen dump; I simply did a hard reboot with the boot button and then i tried the install again from 0% same query at 80% I said yes and then it finished 100% download complete-finish. i checked the dxdiag and it still reported dev 0008 indicating the wrong hardware? and now my sound won't even play during startup. I didn't have the proper routine as you suggested and the creative link indicates; I will try to do this complete removal at some point. I will get to it just don't have enough time at the moment to tackle it since i am still able to use this computer without sound.
I am open to any and all thoughts going forward and appreciated both of your time and thoughts!
Regards,
H-D
