Topic: Use Creative soundblaster card as a fix for audio problem?

After doing much reading and checking around the web, it seems that there is still no definite solution to the sound driver problem.(when reverting to xp) How about this? I didn't see any mention of it. Would it be possible to just use an add-on sound card made for laptops like the ones made by creative? Then you could just use that instead of the on board sound. I know this is not a free fix, but, would it work?

my laptop: Toshiba P-105-s9337

thanks for the response, do you or anyone else have any more info on why it would work or not? I would hate to spend the money and then find out it did not work.

Well, the sound card works great, still cant get onboard sound to work. "downgrade" to XP succesfull though, just need onboard sound and fingerprint reader drivers that work in XP.

Re: Use Creative soundblaster card as a fix for audio problem?

Thank you, yes I myself was suprised to see that, I tried to install a Conotext? driver and it listed in device mgr as just that, but windows says I have no sound device, when I unplug the addon sound card that is. Thanks again, I will investigate the post you linked to.

Re: Use Creative soundblaster card as a fix for audio problem?

Please do Stuball56

and Muiz worked very hard to put up a test driverpack and nobody would test it, the topic was closed.
If you create an XP installation CD useing the Driverpacks base AND the test driverpack referenced in the post, it may help lots of others who seem to be in the same boat.

We don't have every possable type of hardware avialable to us for testing.
We need people with the hardware at hand to test the packs.
We can't add drivers to the packs if we dont know if they work.
