Vista not seeing my soundcard Hey chaps Just had vista fall over and had to run a repair on it to get it booting again, however it keeps saying I have no sound card connected. I have reinstalled the drivers and that hasnt worked and sound works just fine on my XP partition so the card is installed correctly. Any ideas would be most apreciated

There's a fix for this at the creative forums. I made it. It's about "Device not found" problem. It's also in the Graphics and Soundcard section here at AOA; Device Driver Startup Types.

If it's the Vista control panel, i'm not too sure as i have yet to try Vista. If you try typing "Control Panel" into the address bar (without quotes). If there's a problem, there'll either be an error, or it'll just freeze which would indicate some sort of explorer.exe problem. The only way to solve this, is to kill the process tree (Task manager --> processes --> Right click explorer.exe --> End process tree). To restart it, in task manager, go to file, select new task and type explorer.exe. If it's the Creative control panel, that indicates that the driver, ctaud2k.sys, didn't start correctly. I've noticed something rather interesting since day 1. If the sound isn't working, and i reset or restart my computer, it'll still fail. But, if i shut it down for a few hours, it'll work fine. So there's some enviromental variable there that is effecting this single driver. It could either be heat, air pressure, voltage/current, EMI, or something else i don't know about. The thing is, i can change the location of the driver through the registry. What'd be better is if i could get hold of the sources for ctaud2k.sys somehow.
