Installing USB sound card (any windows)

1. Do not connect or plug the USB sound card
2. install the software and driver
3. restart the computer
4. connect the USB Sound Card
5. windows found new hardware
6. select find hardware automatically.
7. if windows cant find the driver select browse CD (contain driver)
   

i have 3 soundcard installed in my computer (XP Pro SP2,Vista Enterprise,Ubuntu Linux) 1 built in and 2 USB.

built in I use for speaker, 1 USB I used for monitor to my DJ mixing software, 1 USB I used for telephone(VOIP)

please re-install the drivers on sound card...might solve the problem

Hi

Download the driver cd from the company website...

and then install it ur sound drive will work...

To appear the speaker icon go to control panel and then click the sound and audio device and then select the option place the sound icon in the task bar and give ok....

thank you

I doubt the speakers need a driver. Is there output from the soundcard? Connect the speakers to an alternate audio source, such as the headphone jack of a CD player or radio. If the
speakers produce sound, the problem is probably
with your soundcard. Recheck your soundcard
installation and setup procedure. Consult the sound
card’s manual. Check the “mute” and “volume” controls on your
soundcard or media player software and keyboard.
Are the speakers connected properly? Make sure the
plugs are securely connected in the proper location
according to their colorcoding and the diagram on th
front of this manual. Make sure the left speaker wire
with the white stripe is connected to the (+) speaker
terminal on the subwoofer.

CHECK IF THE SOUND DRIVER HAS INSTALLED PROPERLY OR THE ONBOARD SOUNDCARD HAS BEEN DETECTED OR NOT.IF NOT DETECTED TRY THIS: 1.INSTALL XP AGAIN. 2.TRY REMOVING ALL SOUND RELATED APPLICATIONS AND RESTART THE MACHINE SEVERAL TIMES.

same problem
I formatted my hard drive and reinstall windows xp but no sound comes from speakers I tried to install audio drivers from the motherboard CD "foxconn" but PCI driver can not be installed what should i do?

If both sets work on one computer, but none of them work on the problem machine, then it's not the speakers that are at fault, but rather the computer you're plugging them into.

As you are getting a "No Audio Devices" message, and the speakers get their signal from your systems soundcard, the soundcard drivers may not be installed, or working properly (the USB plug, it seems, only serves to power the speakers, nothing else).

Open up Device Manager, and look for your soundcard, and/or any devices marked with a Question (?) or Exclamation (!) Mark. Install/reinstall the drivers for any of these that you see. If you don't see anything marked as such, locate your soundcard under the "Sound and Audio devices" header, and reinstall it.

(NOTE: You can get to device manager in Windows XP, by going to Start-> Run -> type in "Control", and press ENTER. From the window that pops up, make sure you're using Classic View, then go to System -> Hardware -> Device Manager.)

If you DON'T, however, see either unknown devices or your soundcard listed in Sounds and Audio Devices, reseat your soundcard in it's PCI slot or a different slot in your machine, boot up your computer, and see if it's recognized. if it isn't, or if you're using an onboard sound solution, you may have to replace your soundcard, as it's defective.

Hope this helps :~)

Which soundcard do you have? The speakers themselves do not appear to have an associated driver. Here is the link to the support page for the speaker set if you want to check yourself; http://uk.europe.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=4&subcategory=113&product=10321 Post back your soundcard details and we can try and help. If you post also your location it is a lot easier and quicker to find the correct software. If you need help identifying which soundcard you have then please ask again. Awaiting your info :)

Try rolling back soundcard drivers. I had the same problem when Win XP updated my soundcard drivers.
