| 314072 | 2005-01-14 19:53:00 | Put an Audigy 2 Zs sound card into a PCI slot in my pc. When I go to install the drivers for it it says there "Setup could not detect an Audigy..." In Device Manager it recognises the card as PCI INPUT DEVICE. Help! |

| 314075 | 2005-01-15 01:25:00 | Well that's strange - try updating motherboard/chipset drivers, use a different PCI slot and then if no luck flash the BIOS to the latest version... If that doesn't work try the card in another computer - possibly faulty (unlikely)?! |

| 314076 | 2005-01-15 01:39:00 | Why do some people recommend "flashing the BIOS"? That is potentially dangerous, and in most cases won't do anything. :( A better approach will be to look for the updated drivers (and, maybe, firmware) made available by Creative. "audigy 2 download" to Google will be worthwhile. You shouldn't need to go past the first page of links. The Audigy products are very clever. So there have been a few problems with them. |

| 314077 | 2005-01-15 02:29:00 | I'm just obsessed with having the latest version of every device driver, BIOS, OS update etc etc... I've never had any issues with flashing the BIOS and I've done quite a few systems - it's just piece of mind when you know you are up to date with everything and eliminates the software being the issue... most of the time anyway :) |

| 314078 | 2005-01-15 02:36:00 | I wonder if the card should be transferred to another PCI slot. Some motherboards share IRQs among slots. Could also not be seated correctly. I use the same sound card under WinXP Pro SP2 and have no issues. Remove all sound hardware from device manager and try different slot. Should be re detected. |
