abhinab bls, do you have a question?

Zealous, what model HP Pavillion please?

**viral** · September 25th, 2007, 11:21 AM

Hello , I have this problem that first of all i cannot open the volume control, since it sends that famous message "no active mixer devices available.." and In add new hardware i have the yellow warning sign saying i lack drivers for my audio device.

This is what everest says about my motherboard and my sound:

Multimedia:
Soundcard Creative SB X-Fi [NoDB]
MotherBoard:
BIOS: AMI (10/20/06)
Model: P5B Deluxe

If you need to know anything else please ask

**viral** · September 25th, 2007, 11:28 AM

hello, i have the same problem concerning the message "no active mixer devices available" and when i open the Add New Hardware window, i see the yellow warning sign next to "Audio device on high definition audio bus" saying i lack the corresponding drivers, but after installing all the drivers for my soundcard, the problem still persists, and as result, no sound, and occasional blue screen crashes caused by ha10kx2k.sys, so those are all my problems, all caused by this damn soundcard.

Soundcard: Creative X-Fi Soundblaster Platinum
Motherboard: p5b Deluxe

Welcome to Windrivers Viral

You just need to reinstall the drivers click here for Creative drivers

**viral** · September 25th, 2007, 03:18 PM

Hello, i did reinstall them but it doesnt change anything even after the restart..

Is there a way to erase all existing creative drivers and reinstall new ones from scratch?

**NooNoo** · September 26th, 2007, 03:40 AM

Has this sound card ever worked?
What is the error code shown in device manager?
When you reinstalled the drivers, did you uninstall the creative software from add/remove programs first?

What are the numbers and the error message associated with the ha10kx2k.sys BSOD?

Manual uninstall instructions here. For XP you have to click More to the right of PCI soundblaster cards.

**viral** · September 26th, 2007, 04:21 AM

Yes it used to work just fine

In add hardware the error message for audio device on high definition audio bus is: "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)"

Im restarting now after uninstalling the card..

**NooNoo** · September 26th, 2007, 04:55 AM

You might consider changing the card's pci slot...

**viral** · September 26th, 2007, 10:10 AM

Id prefer avoiding moving stuff around in my pc for the moment, and try to do what i can here.

So now i uninstalled the card, only problem i have lost the installation CD for the soundcard, can i get around the card installation witheout the CD knowing its a plugnplay?
