Topic: Sound Blaster Audidgy 2zs isn't working in windows server 2003 enterpr

Hi everyone,
I used method 2 to slip stream the drivers into windows server 2003 enterprise.  Windows says that there isn't a sound device installed but everything is ok in device manager there are no unknown devices in device manager please help thanks.

Re: Sound Blaster Audidgy 2zs isn't working in windows server 2003 enterpr

for a time i ran server 2003 ent vlm on a pII 233 laptop with 192 mb pc66, and a celeron 1200 desktop with 768 mb pc133.  ran surprisingly well on both machines.

i also had problems with sound.  in the desktop i had an audigy [audigy 1 mp3+].

are you using the machine as a server, or did you do the workstation conversion?  i was running the conversion on both machines.  seems like i finally got the sound going on the desktop anyway.

let me know whether you're in server or workstation mode, and if so, did you do the conversion manually or with the conversion proggy?

till then, best of luck m8!

Keepin' the faith baby!

I'll check tomorrow to verify this, but my guess it that the Sound Blaster drivers just DON'T WORK when used in Windows Server 2003!

Re: Sound Blaster Audidgy 2zs isn't working in windows server 2003 enterpr

Sorry for the delay.

I verified that these drivers do not support Windows Server 2003. And Creative does not provide any! This is not bad behaviour by Creative though: it's quite normal that a server OS isn't supported by an audio driver, since a server isn't built for that purpose.

I could make the necessary driver hacks to let it install, but I won't guarantee you that it will be stable. Would you like to test it?

Hi Bash,
If you don't think that is a good idea to run it with server 2003 then that is understandable I could test it for you if you would like let me know.

Re: Sound Blaster Audidgy 2zs isn't working in windows server 2003 enterpr

Soundblaster drivers do work on Server 2003.

I install Server 2003 in two scenarios:

1 - In VMware
2 - On my real machine.

In DRIVER.CAB for XP it contains something like 500 or 600 files that are
not in the Server 2003 DRIVER.CAB.

In VMware for example, Server 2003 Enterprise will not install the onboard Creative sound drivers,
you have to get the XP driver and it works.

On my real machine however, my onboard sound works, it is hit and miss which is why I am
opening a new topic to request... something wink

Yep in vmware you have  another sound device, and that one is a long time ago reported as not working.
No one has a slolution for this yet.

Re: Sound Blaster Audidgy 2zs isn't working in windows server 2003 enterpr

OK... VMware and the sound driver issue...

I was just looking though my setup logs for Server 2003 and setuperr.log is
a 0Kb file - in other words there were no errors during setup. But when I search
the other setup log "setuplog.txt" for "audio" I have ONE single failure regarding
the sound device in VMware = Creative Sound Blaster AudioPCI 128D (WDM)...

The following (broken down into seperate lines, but all this is on one line).....

04/08/2007 22:41:20
d:\nt\base\ntsetup\syssetup\syspnp.c,5364,,SETUP: SetupDiCallClassInstaller(DIF_INSTALLDEVICE) failed.
Error = e0000217, Device = Creative Sound Blaster AudioPCI 128D (WDM)

There are 5 lines for "Creative Sound Blaster AudioPCI 128D (WDM)" and only one of the
lines says "failed".

I wonder if Bashrat ever did hack those drivers? (whistle.gif!)

I would certainly test them if he did.

You know whats REALLY annoying about it? You can manually install these drivers from
Device Manager so it isn't that these drivers won't work, they do definitely work because
I can install them! It does not even say the drivers are untested (like it does on XP for my
modem drivers on my real system, for example) so i am sure there is some other wierd
issue here, it is NOT because the drivers are "bad" or anything, because they DO install
and the sound does work, with not one single complaint, as long as you do it from Device
Manager afterwards, which kinda defeats the object of what this whole thing is all about huh?!

If there is some other device in VMware other than "Creative Sound Blaster AudioPCI 128D (WDM)"
then what is it?!
