What did you do before the problem was showed up? I have same bug since the moment I was try to connect my ZEN Vision M thru iPod cable. I still can use it as player, but lost the ability to syncronize it with PC. Looks like I fucked up something in my hardware.

Hi,

Here is link to download your sound card driver.Download it and install.You will get your sound back

Creative Sound Blaster PCI 128 Sound Card


Thanks

I think this means that Creative Media Source doesn't recognize a program on your computer that can open the file or Creative Media Source doesn't know a program to open the file. You can always Google the file extension like .avi or .wmv to find software that can play it or convert it. You can find the extension of the file by right click>properties a window will appear and will show the file name and will look like this:
thisisafile.avi
blahblah.mp4

Go to Control Panel double click "ADD NEW HARDWARE" then follow the prompts !

I have an older ZEN, so I'm not sure if I have Creative Media Source 5, but mine never worked really well either. My Windows Media Player recognizes mine, so I just sync to that library. I even have gotten a new laptop since I got my ZEN and I never downloaded anything, I just connected it to Window's Media. I hope that's helpful!

i need soundmax for my orange pc
