Welcome to windrivers Robert. More info is needed. Make/model of computer and/or motherboard please? Any yellow ! or ? in device manager? BTW, do you in fact have Creative 1373 audio? If not, it would probably be best to move this question to a new thread.

Gosh I am having simliar problems and have looked extensivley for a solution...I recently updated from ME to XP and now my Creative Audio PCI (ES1371, ES1373) (WDM) is not working. No sound at all. My device manager says everthing is working properly.

Can anyone help me...thanks in advance?

thanksssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssssss

Look down the list of services.... is the windows audio service running?

Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you

welcome to Windrivers ramy... I'm guessing this thread helped you fix your problem?

I'm also using Creative AudioPCI (Es1371,ES1373) (WDM) and the driver version is: 5.1.2535.0. INF: wdma_ens.inf\ES1371.
driver: c:\windows\system32\drivers\es1371mp.sys
Here is my mainboard details:
Bus(es): AGP PCI IMB USB i2c/SMBus
Model: K755A
Bios version: AMIINT - 1000
Bios vendor: American Megatrends Inc.
and my computer has no sound, it seems the system's not recognized the sound card. Could anybody give me a hand?

Welcome to WinDrivers, kingjo.

Firstly, to avoid possible confusion, could you re-check to confirm if your system board is an ECS K7S5A rather than K755A?

Assuming this is so, it looks like your system has a Creative soundcard fitted. As a first step, please check in the BIOS setup and make sure the onboard sound is turned off - if it has been turned on it could be preventing the sound card from working.

Ok, thx for ur reply :), i confirm my board is K7S5A, sorry abt that :p. After reinstalled window, my comp lost sound and i use norton ghost. Could u show me wat i shoud do? :)

Try the driver.----->Here

Thx for ur driver street1 :). I downloaded and installed that driver but it seems window still not recognized it driver, wat should i do now? :(

Is your system using the motherboard's onboard sound, or does it have a soundcard plugged into a PCI slot? Windows thinks your sound is a Creative Ensoniq chipset, which suggests there is a soundcard. If this is so, check as I've previously indicated, and ensure the onboard sound is turned off in the BIOS setup. Then either look inside the case and find a model number on the card (it may be something like CT1480...) or download and install Everest Home and see if it can positively identify the sound. Then we should be able to source the correct driver.

Help! I'm another not very computer literate person having a similar problem of no sound from a Creative Audio PCI (ES1371/ES1373) (WDM) onboard sound device after having to reinstall XP after something went wonky (note my technical language).

The computer has the following:
Apollo Pro Plus 693-596B-8671 Motherboard
System VIA VT82C692BX
BIOS is AWARD 6.00 PG.

I've searched all over the place but cannot find a driver that seems to be the right one - have installed (and uninstalled) all sorts of variants with no success.

Can anyone help - please!!!

I checked my mainboard, there is no sound card on it. This would be an onboard sound. Could u help me find that mainboard driver? Thx for ur help. :):)

kingjo, turns out there are 3 versions of your board, V1.1, 1.3 & 1.3B, using two different sound chipsets.

Check on the board for a Version number, usually silkscreen printed, probably in white, but sometimes on a paper sticker.

When you know the board's version number, go here:

http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Dow...nuID=6&LanID=0

and in the Search section, select Motherboards, Socket 462, K7S5A and the Version number & submit it. You'll go to the downloads page and you can click on the drivers tab and get the sound driver.

If you haven't already checked, confirm the on-board sound is enabled in the BIOS setup. Since you've installed other drivers, be sure to remove them before installing the one from ECS. Check Start\Programs first for any uninstall options if there are any sound installation groups there. If there are, do them first and re-start the computer. Then look in Control Panel\Add/Remove Programs and use the Remove option if you find any previous driver installations there. Then restart the computer again and go to Safe Mode (repeatedly tap the F8 key while re-starting then choose Safe Mode from the menu). Look in the device manager, and if any sound devices show (this finds "phantom" or "ghost" remanants that don't show up normally) remove them too.

Then re-start and you should have a reasonably clean setup to install the driver supplied by ECS. Then we'd hope like crazy that your sound would finally be working... :)

Welcome to WinDrivers Joy G. We'll need some more information about your system in order to be able to help you. If you know the model of the mainboard and/or sound card in your system, or the model of the complete system if it is a brand-name like Dell, HP etc, tell us what it is.

Alternatively, download the Everest Home program from my link in the post above your post, and tell us how the program identifies your system/mainboard/sound.

To avoid confusing cross-discussions, it would also be a good idea to start a seperate topic to post the information in, rather than continuing to re-use this one.

Hi! I´m Sebastian, and I´ve got problems with my sound card. I´ve an Encore ENM232-4CTV, and I´m using Windows XP. The drivers installed in a propperly way, but the sound card works aleatory.
I´ve just updated the BIOS, reinstalled the driver, changed the position of the PCI, disabled the onboard sound-card, and the problem isn´t over yet =(
I don´t know what to do! Would you please help me?
I also checked that the services.msc is iniciated and automatic.
Thank you in advance and sorry for my poor English but I don´t speak it frecuently.

hello

hi! i´ve an Encore ENM232-4CTV sound card that is not working well. It works in an aleatory way. It has the Creative ES1371 chipset. I´m using Windows XP, and I recognised my sound card and installed it driver but it doesn´t work. I´ve just reinstalled the BIOS, checked the services.msc is it´s iniciated automaticly, tried in another PCI port, but nothing was enough to deal with it. What should I do? Would you please help me? Thank you in advance. Sorry for my poor English, but I don´t speak it frecuently.

have you tried this driver?

Have you updated windows to SP2?

Describe what features are not working

Creative AudioPCI (ES1371,ES1373) (WDM) Windows XP issues
Sound works after uninstalling device and restarting. However, it stops working after the next restart. I hear a clicking like noise and then nothing. Did a clean re-load of XP, but still same issues. Verified Windows Audio setting in services.msc.

Motherboard: Gigabyte Pentium 4 Titan Series GA-8SDX

Any help would be much appreciated.

FYI. I also tried installing a Creative Blaster Audigy SE PCI card with no luck.

Welcome to Windrivers atlhawgfan

When you tried the Audigy card, did you put the card in a different pci slot or the same one that the ES1371 was in?

Thanks for the reply NooNoo. I put the Audigy in a different PCI slot. The ES1371 is onboard.

Did you turn off the onboard when you tried the Audigy?

have you tried this driver with the onboard sound?

Yes, I disabled the onboard audio in BIOS when trying the Audigy. I also tried installing the Audigy in a different PCI slot. Still no luck.

I am downloading that driver you suggested for onboard sound. Will let you know if this works.

Downloaded that driver. This corrected all of my issues. Thanks so much for your assistance.

Glad to help :)

Hello Guys, I'm losing my mind trying to solve this problem.

I've got 3 soundcards on my computer:

1) On board soundmax
2) M-Audio Audiophile 2496
3) Creative ENM232-4CTV (That's what's written in the box)

The problem is with the last one. Windows XP recognizes it as being a Creative Audio PCI ES1371,ES1373 (WDM).

What happens is that there is no sound! I've already disabled the other 2 soundcards but the problem remains.

My motherboard is an ASUS P4S800

When i go to sound devices on the control panel, the default soundcard is the Creative, but when I put something to play there is no sound. The original CD that came with that card install a VIBRA 128 driver.... doesn't work either.

On the hardware manager, the card seems to be installed properly, there's no yellow tag on it.

Could yoou please help me?! I need this board to work because I do a lot of experiments with electronics, so I need the line in on that board to work on an osciloscope software. I don't want to use my M-Audio on experiments, i'd rather use it only for safe recordings... believe me, i've already burned the line in on the on-board card ...

Thanks in advance!

Welcome to Windrivers.com,

Try this plug in your sound cable into that sound card it is a small 3 or 4 wire cable usually gray or brown in color with black or white ends

Hi Guys,

It's weird, I didn't receive an e-mail warning that there was a reply.

The problem is now solved. I formated my HD and when I reinstalled Win XP the driver it installed automatically worked properly. I have no idea why it wasn't working before! :confused:

Strange hum?

Thanks anyway!

You is encountering conflicts with another device within Device Manager was NOT showing the conflicts between the sound card and software.


If your computer is utilizing all IRQs, unfortunately there are only a few ways around this, which can be very complicated. The first and easiest way would be to attempt to remove devices from the computer to allow IRQs to become free and or substitute for external devices. The other option would be to attempt to assign the IRQ settings to IRQ settings that may already be used by another device. However, when doing this, it is recommended that you choose a device that is not going to be frequently used. Windows may report that there is a device conflicting; however, in some instances the devices can work on the same IRQ the devices, however will not be able to work at the same time.

Hello WinDrivers!

I've read through this thread and I don't think anyone has posted this exact problem.

I have an 2001-2002 era Gateway Desktop (model ATXSTF MNT Pro SP4 -- 1600 PC) running WinXP and my sound card is a Creative AudioPCI soundcard. For quite some time, due to table top space limitations I only had a pair of headphones with a microphone plugged into the sound/mic outlets. Recently, after some re-organizing I've been able to make space again for my Boston BA735 speakers. But after hooking them up properly, I don't get any sounds. If I plug the headphones back in, I can hear everying ok. I don't think the speakers are defective in that they worked prior to being unplugged some time back and they have not been dropped, kicked, etc. There were just stored on a shelf.

Did something change with regards drivers or in a regular WinXP update that prevented the speakers from receiving sound appropriately? Or is there just some setting that I don't have set correctly? I know that there is an issue with the BA735 speakers regarding digital vs. analog output but I've never quite figured it out.

Here's what I've tried:
(a) checked that the services.msc Windows audio is set to automatic
(b) uninstalled via Device manager the creative audiopci driver and then rebooted. Windows then detected the sound card and seemed to install it fine.
(c) made sure that there are no mute buttons checked anywhere. Made sure the speakers are hooked up properly.

A curious observation which I don't know if it has any relevance to this problem: When I open up the Sounds and Audio Devices control panel and then click on 'Advanced' get the Volume Control window, when I click on the options drop-down menu, the choice of "Advanced Controls" is greyed out and unselectable.....I seem to remember that that used to be available.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions!
