How To Install Drivers For Your Creative Sound Card
Its necessary to install device drivers and applications to use the Sound Blaster Audigy. The following instructions – applicable to all supported Windows operating systems – describe how to install these drivers and associated bundled applications:
- After installation of the Sound Blaster Audigy card and (optional) Joystick/MIDI bracket, turn on your computer. Windows will automatically detect the audio card and device drivers.
- When prompted for the audio drivers, click the Cancel button.
- Now insert the Sound Blaster Audigy Installation CD into the CD-ROM drive. The disc supports Windows AutoPlay mode and should start running automatically.
- Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation.
- When prompted, restart your system.
If it doesn’t, it probably means that the CD-ROM drive’s auto-insert notification feature needs to be enabled.
You may at times need to uninstall and then reinstall the applications to correct problems, change configurations, or make version upgrades. The following instructions describe how to do this:
- Close all audio card applications. This includes Creative Taskbar. Applications that are still running during the uninstallation will not be removed.
- Click Start > Settings > Control Panel.
- Double-click Add/Remove Programs.
- Click the Install/Uninstall tab and select Sound Blaster Audigy. Click the Add/Remove button.
- When the Creative Uninstaller dialog box appears, click the check boxes of the items you want to delete and click the Next button. The selected applications will be uninstalled.
- Click the OK button.
- If prompted, restart your computer.
If you want to reinstall only the device drivers, for example, because of driver corruption:
- Insert the Sound Blaster Audigy Installation CD into your CD-ROM drive.
- Follow the instructions on the screen until the Setup Options dialog box appears.
- Click the Drivers only button.
- Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation of the device drivers.
You can confirm the drivers have been installed successfully, via Device Manager.
Right-click My Computer > Properties > Hardware > Device Manager
This time, expanding the Sound, video and game controllers item reveals the absence of the on-board Realtek divers and the presence of the newly installed Creative drivers.

October 2018 Bridge CC Release (Version 9. |
0) Notice
When launching the October 2018 release of Bridge CC (Version 9.0), the following error message appears: “Bridge encountered a display driver problem. GPU rendering using graphics hardware is disabled.»
Each time Bridge starts in the background, a utility will run to check for a corrupted, unsupported, or incompatible graphics processor or graphics driver.
If Bridge detects a corrupted, unsupported, or incompatible GPU or driver, the above message will be displayed and the Use Software Rendering option on the Advanced tab of the Settings menu will be selected. After you resolve the issue by replacing the graphics card or updating the driver and launching Bridge, the Use GPU option is automatically disabled and GPU or driver usage resumes.
Solution
Update the graphics driver and troubleshoot the video adapter hardware.
macOS :
Graphics drivers are updated through operating system updates. To make sure you have the latest updates for macOS, select Software Update from the menu or from the Updates tab in the App Store app.
Windows :
Download the latest driver directly from the graphics card manufacturer’s website:
- NVIDIA drivers
- AMD/ATI Drivers
- Intel
drivers
Performing a clean install of the video driver
When updating the video driver, it is recommended that you uninstall any previous versions of the driver before installing the new one. This is called a clean install.
Once you have identified the make and model of the graphics card in your computer, refer to your card manufacturer’s documentation and resources below:
- NVIDIA drivers: How do I clean install Nvidia drivers?
- AMD Drivers: AMD Clean Uninstall Utility
- Intel: Intel Driver & Support Assistant (Intel DSA)
Restart Bridge after installing updates.
- Windows Update does not always provide the latest and greatest drivers. You must go directly to the card manufacturer’s website to check for driver updates.
- Be sure to select the required driver. Notebook drivers sometimes have different names than desktop drivers.
- If you use video adapters from some manufacturers, you need to update additional software in addition to the video card driver. Read the update instructions carefully and contact the video adapter manufacturer directly if the instructions are not clear.
