Creative Drivers Ct4750 Sound Card Zip
Violetta Wagganer
Hi, I finally found my PCI sound card which is a Sound Blaster PCI128 CT4750, but even though I found the right drivers for it in the vogons drivers archive, installed them and not having driver related issues, there comes a huge problem which I can't seem to know how to solve... whenever Windows 98 tries to "activate" it from the device manager... first when I boot it appears with a red cross, after a few hits on the "refresh" button the error appears...
SMALL UPDATE: I managed to get it to work removing the SCSI controller, which is another PCI card I use for my 2 SCSI hard drives, obviously it can't be a permanent fix as I can't use my SCSI hard drives now... BUT it sounds awful... lemme explain I plugged it in my main PC as a microphone and enabled the "listening to device" to hear sounds off it as I can't unplug and re-plug the speaker surround set from each computer every minute, that way I can have sound off both computers with the same speakers and I can record the sounds of the Windows 98 PC (although I can't get the capture card to work yet), I hear a constant buzzing noise and the sounds sound... well it's like if you have a sound and add 20 dB to it and you hear it a bit "distorted" aswell... I hope it's an issue with it being plugged in my front panel mic on my main computer... I don't have another set of speakers to test directly in it and I can't fit my 5.1 in that sound card for obvious lack of 3.5mm slots on the card.
What can I do to fix the constant buzzing noise ? I hear it even in the BIOS screen...
In situations like this, it is often useful to remove Windows from the equation entirely. I suggest downloading a version of Linux that will boot from a CD (or from a a USB stick, if your computer can do that); Knoppix is often useful in that regard. See if sound works from there. (Please do not bother unnecessarily installing Linux on your hard drive yet.) It could very well be that your card is somehow physically defective.
I'm confused, guys...
weird things happen... now all I did was that I removed the previous drivers, I SHUT DOWN, unplugged the vga, plugged in the capture card and now both work !!! WHAT THE HELL ?
I didn't anything at all, I just shut down and restarted it, basically changing the "screen" and I even uninstalled the drivers and now I hear the sounds... (without buzzing, that issue was indeed the front panel mic in of my main PC)... now I don't know how to record the audio, but that's not an issue that concerns this topic ?
I don't think so.
If you really want to have a PCI sound card with better OPL3 sound in DOS you should look at the mentioned Yamaha PCI cards, or an Aureal Vortex (or Vortex2) card (which would be a good choice for Win9x as well).
There are several threads on Vogons regarding this topic (bascially which PCI sound card to use for DOS).
Also, try running a DOS game (e.g. SimCity 2000 MS-DOS*) directly from Windows 98 with MIDI enabled in the game settings. If that works, your DOS drivers for pure DOS mode are not properly set up (ensure that the settings for the drivers match whatever Win98SE shows for the soundcard's legacy support). If running directly from Win98 doesn't work, have a look at the Windows 98 settings to see whether MIDI is enabled, and whether a waveset-file is selected (I like the 4 Mb version), and try again.
Hi there,
I really hope someone helps me.
So I try to explain better I can, I own a Sound Blaster PCI CT4750 just installed, and under Windows XP it works nice.
Now I have a dual boot system, when one hard disk starts with Windows XP SP3, and the other one with a MS-DOS 6.22 instance correctly installed.
Various games works, I read and I configured my system to free conventional memory and I always succeded in all operation.
But now the sound make me become crazy. This audio card is a PCI card, I have my system installed on a motherboard Abit NF7, so it has not ISA slot.
So i Really need to configure audio card in PCI slot. I disabled the audio from bios of the motherboard, I disabled the serial and parallel ports, I downloaded the CD driver for DOS and the install.exe command add lines to my autoexec.bat and config.sys, always the "SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H7 P330 T6" and the "SET SBPCI=C:\DOSDRV".
I want to attach two screenshot of my autoexec.bat and config.sys so someone can help me.
I started installing games and since they work well, I well thought of installing a PCI sound card to get the best sound from the pc speaker but ESPECIALLY a gameport port to play with the legendary Quickshot joysticks I have at home, a beautiful cloche and one a little simpler.
And here comes the problem. Previously I installed a Sound Blaster PCI128 given to me by a friend of mine, CT4750 to understand, but without success. On Windows XP the sound worked but the gameport gave me error 12, saying that there were no resources to make it work. So I thought it was a card problem and on the American site Vogons advised me to try the Yamaha YMF724 which according to them would have collaborated with my Nvidia NF2 Ultra chipset.
Also seeing other reports that the Phillips sound cards game ports work IF you disable the sound, MIDI, and Game ports in the BIOS.
Are the MIDI and Game port settings even available in the NF7-S BIOS?
Just sound is missing. The mainboard has no ISA slots, just PCI, has an onboard AC97 sound and I have a SoundBlaster 128/Ensoniq CT4750 PCI card, both don't seem to be supported. I've tried SoundBlaster 16 compatible and some other options without luck.
Upgrading to kernel 2.0.40 would be no problem but does not seem to provide additional support for sound cards.Kernel 2.2.x provides all new sound support for a lot of cards but the upgrade is not trivial and would significantly decrease the nostalgia factor.
I tried to find out if it could be possible to backport some driver from 2.2 but apparently the sound architecture has changed quite a bit, most if not all 2.2 sound drivers include some header files that don't exist in 2.0, so I've given up on that.
Hi guys i am a small developer, i really like to use my sound blaster cards on my machines and i love also coding, so when i find the source code for the kx audio driver on git hub and then Eugene, the creator of kx audio driver decided to no longer maintain the project, i decided to start working on a mod of this driver and maintain it.
As those cards are almost the only choice for internal cards the development of this driver should get more attention by all the serious Hackintosh users. Unfortunately, just like in the PC world, most people don't care about getting a "real" sound card and stick with the onboard sound.
these are not the only alternative for internal sound cards, but are some of the cheapest internal cards that you can find (including the audigy rx that you can find in shops today) there are other alternatives, but they are some professional stuff or expensive stuff, or there are also some sound blaster x-fi that are quite cheap and works with voodoo hda instead and also some professional grade cards works with my kx driver mod
for clover you don't have to place the kext in EFI/CLOVER/KEXTS/OTHER, but in EFI/CLOVER/KEXTS/[the folder named with the version of mac os you are using] so for example for sierra you have to put the kext in EFI/CLOVER/KEXTS/10.12 for yosemite you have to put it in EFI/CLOVER/KEXTS/10.10 instead, if the driver works you will see in system preferences->sound and in the outputs section a new device that will be named sound blaster audigy 2 zs, i suggest also to boot with -v to and send me video of the booth process with the kext installed, so i can tell to you what is happening and if the driver is working or if it is a hardware problem from the card its' self, also i suggest to you tu try mine installer with the installer packet that will clean previous kext installations of kx driver and will install it in s/l/e or try to install only the kext in clover to EFI/CLOVER/KEXTS/[kext named like the version of mac os you are using] if you use EFI/CLOVER/KEXTS/OTHER the kext will not be loaded at all since that folder is used only for versions of mac os that clover doesn't know, so on sierra you have to to use it, just use the latest version of clover and put the kext in EFI/CLOVER/KEXTS/10.12 and check if you are using kext-dev-mode=1 and -v in the boot args. and then check if does not work check if its an hardware problem, for example use programs like DPCI manager that will list all the pci devices, so if the card appears here the driver should see it, we should investigate what's the error
For the other guys, do you like that name for the sound card or I should use sound blaster instead of sb? I decided for sb because the name is already too long, and putting sound blaster makes it longer
