Dell :: Creative SB Audigy Software W/ Window 7
Nov 8, 2009
When I bought my Dell 3 years ago I got the option to include the Creative SoundBlaster Audigy software. It is just software, not an actual sound card upgrade, but it definitely made audio quality much better. The computer has a Sigmatel audio device.
Does anyone know if there is a driver/software update for this that will make it work with Windows 7? I installed the software from Dell's drivers and downloads site which made it work with Vista, but no luck. Any help is appreciated.

I was a little home cleaning and found my Creative Sound Blaster Audigy ADVANCED MB disk what I got with my XPS M1730 at that time. I lost interest in this software after upgrading from Vista x32 to Vista x64, because it didn't work on a 64bits system.
Currently I'm running Windows 7 x64. I want to try this software again, but of course I can't install it on this 64bits system either. I was hoping that meanwhile after this long time things would've changed and tried to find some update at Creative, without prevail.
Is there still no 64bits support for this software?
I really like to see it running under Win7.

I've just done a fresh install of Windows 7 on my Studio XPS 1640 but as is widely known there is certain software which isn't available in 'Dell Support Downloads' or 'My Dell Downloads'.
I find it incredible that you can pay Dell for software (X-Fi) and they don't provide customers with the install files. I've still got the original HD and the recovery partition is next to useless as it's just a pre-configured Vista install, no individual setup files. Trying to rip the files from the Program Files directory isn't feasible as there are files all over the place which would require manual registration.
The closest I've found to the Webcam software is this:
Creative Labs Webcam Manager Utility A04
But it's a really old version and doesn't work with the camera in the 1640.
I've spoken to tech support and they directed me to an X-Fi software update which is useless unless you have the original software installed. I've asked for the install CDs to be sent to me but I'm not holding much hope. Why the hell doesn't Dell just provide the programs for download in the support section?

My sound is horrific through my speakers, to the point where i think the speakers are shot, except i've barely used them.
If anyone knows of any software to fix this issue or anything else, please throw me a link or anything. I've been through the ringer with creative and they aren't comprehending and i don't have the time to be on the phone with them. They have no idea what they're doing.
The software cd goes to install and activates fine but it doesn't find hardware to give drivers to or "enhance". I have the dell provided 64-bit sound drivers in for the base sound card. Specs:
S1737
P8400
3Gb
250Gb 7200rpm
Intel Wireless 5100N
Slot Load DVD Burner
17" WLED Screen
Fingerprint reader (Works Great)

Not that I think it makes a big difference but how do you go about installing the sb audigy software that I bought with my XPS?
I have the disc that came with the laptop but when I go to install it says "no drivers found, please install drivers then run this setup program again"

Has anyone been able to install the Audigy software that came with their m1730 after installing Vista64 bit version?
When I try to install, it says I have to install the audio drivers first! I did install them first! Aren't they the SigMatel drivers found on Dell website?
This and the touchpad are the only thing missing on my installation of Vista64 (was Vista 32 OEM).

I have a query about the titled soft/hardware. Firstly, which is it? Is it simply software, or is additional hardware required to run it?
Has anyone had a chance to compare the normal sound with this package, to see if there's much difference? I hear this allows EAX, which I would really like. I'm just not sure what exactly it is! :-)

creative add-on drivers ( i went for the upgrade). i have 64bit OS(shipped) and this stuff was not installed out-of-the-box.
so i pop in the disc and install the stuff following the instructions. but the console app, control panel don't work. incompatible device stuff. now, what could be the issue.
it' weekend so i cant really talk to the rep or support guys. i called up the xps support and the guy was ncie enought to tell me that this stuff doesnt work on 64bit. but then went on to give me a patch which would reportedly make it work. but that patch seemingly fails to install.

I can't find where to get the Creative Sound Blaster software that came with my laptop. Is it on one of the discs? Can you download it from a dell site or something? I can't find the download, only a driver for it on the dell canada support site.

My friends that are into desktop publishing and graphic design are very pro Mac-centric when it comes to their work. They tell me that Macs are better than PCs (with Windows) when it comes to developing their work.
That may have been the case in the past, but Macs are not really necessary for that line of work anymore. Many applications are now more readily developed for Windows based PCs. On Windows, you get the whole Adobe Creative Suite, many audio manipulation programs superior to Garage Band (i.e. Ableton), and other neat applications. The only thing Macs have over Windows is the excellent Final Cut Pro, although Premiere is more than competent.
Many musicians have been noted to be avid Mac users. However, major pop music producers such as Timbaland and Lil' Jon now develop their music under a Windows-based platform.
Is the Mac necessary (or worth it) for doing this type of work other than the sheer chic and hip factor of Macs?

It looks like lightroom and premier has closed the gap in the windows land compared to Aperture and Final Cut. And with OpenCL's focus on using the GPU to boost performance and Apple doing it's very best to off Adobe.... is there any real advantage in software in OSX anymore? Or is it all about familiarity and preference?
I was kind of considering the i5 MBP since I'm more into editing than gaming but honestly, if I can just get a beefy Win7 laptop and run software with the same features that are just as reliable I don't really see the point in spending less for more.

Just found this and was wondering if it can be used in a regular minipcie slot. With every connector of course.
Or something like letting the X-FI chip doing all the work , processing etc. and lead the output through existing onboard audio.

There is a REAL X-Fi chip on board not those lower end ones used in usb and pcmcia solutions.

I remember accidentally opening some transparent window that had a quick access to all the parts on my XPS m1530 and I believe it had the name
Dell in the titlebar, and it looked different than the Microsoft one (welcome window or whatever).

I just undocked (where I have two monitors) and am now using Outlook with a LinkedIn addon feature on my laptop. For some reason,
when I open the LinkedIn app, the screen that opens is nowhere to be found. Its in mytaskbar but when I open and close it, its flying off to the right as if there were a second display still attached.
I checked the display settings and I am on one monitor.
Any idea how I can get that window to display on this screen?
