Reinstalling all Audio Drivers and Applications

1.Insert the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Feature Showcase Demo CD into your CD-ROM drive.

If the drive supports Windows AutoPlay mode, the CD starts running automatically. If not, you need to enable your CD-ROM drive’s auto-insert notification feature. For more details, see “Problems Installing Software” on page B-1.

2.Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation, and to run the Demo.

At times you may need to uninstall or reinstall some or all of the audio card's applications and device drivers to correct problems, change configurations, or upgrade outdated drivers or applications. The following instructions tell you how to do so in all Windows operating systems.

Before you begin, close all audio card applications. Applications that are still running during the uninstallation will not be removed.

If you think the audio drivers and applications are corrupted, you may want to reinstall all of them. To do so:

1.Click Start ->Settings ->Control Panel.

2.Double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon.

3.Click the Install/Uninstall tab (or Change or Remove Programs button).

4.Select the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 entry, and then click the Add/Remove (or Change/Remove) button.

5.In the InstallShield Wizard dialog box, select the Repair check box, and then click the Next button. If prompted, insert the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Installation and Applications CD into your CD-ROM, and click the OK button.

6.Click the Yes button.

7.Restart your computer when prompted.

You can now check the computer to see if the reinstalled software works properly. If not, proceed to “Troubleshooting and FAQs” on page B-1.
