Comment:

I recently installed NT 4.0 along with win98 and everything works great except, NT does not see the sound card (SoundBlaster PCI128). I've downloaded the driver exe (e128nt4u.exe)file from creatives web site and installed it and NT still does not see the device. What's wrong? do I need some .inf config files? if so where to get it?

please email me your solutions.
Thanks

Doesn't in the package exist a readme.txt or similar. When SB128 is installed similar to SB64 you must first manually delete some codecs, this is written in the readme.txt

The e128nt4u.exe self extracted all the files and placed it somewhere in the nt\system and other directories. It went by so fast I could not tell if it had a readme.txt. I don't think it had one...

I have tried the latest drivers for vibra128, pci128, ensonique 128 with no luck.
I have tried it on win2k and in NT4 with servicepack 6.
And the latest via drivers 4.24 for the motherboard installed since I have ABIT KA7-100.
No luck what so ever.
NT4 doesn´t find the soundcard at all wich win2k does.
But when win2k installs the drivers for winMM WDM it freeze´s the system up.
And Nt4 doesn´t even react on installation of ensoniquedrivers or soundblaster pci128 drivers, but when I install the vibra128 it also freezes up when loading personalized settings after the loginprompt, just as in win2k. I ahve tried moving the soundcard around in every pci slot and have tried to assign a specific free IRQ in BIOS with no change in results. NT4 doesn´t find it.
In windows 98 and in Windows Millenium it works without problem, d etects the soundcard and install own drivers without any probs.

I would be very grateful if anyone knew a possible solution for this problem and mailed me about it.

Try this :
http://www.directron.com/sounddriver.html
Fichier : pci128nt.zip (2333k)

After extracting, launch Updpcint.exe without selecting any port, irQ,...

It works good to me.
