If you have installed and uninstalled a previous Sound Blaster card such
as Sound Blaster Audigy 2, Audigy or Sound Blaster Live! and have since
installed a Sound Blaster X-Fi card, you may encounter an error when applying Sound
Blaster X-Fi settings in the game's Audio Settings section.
(More Details... How
to uninstall Sound Blaster drivers and applications? )
If you encounter this problem, we recommend that you reinstall your Sound
Blaster X-Fi drivers as follows:
- Download the updated X-Fi series driver from the Creative download page. Please choose your product from the list to display the latest download available.
- Browse to *:\Audio\Drivers on the X-Fi installation CD (where
* is your CD/DVD Rom Drive letter).
- Double-click Setup.exe to run the Creative Driver Update Utility.
- Under Update Option check the Driver Uninstallation box.
- Check the Delete all shared Creative audio driver files box.
- Click OK.
- Click Yes to the warning that follows.
- Click OK to proceed with the uninstallation.
- When prompted, click OK to reboot your system.
- When your system has rebooted, click Cancel when Windows detects
new hardware.
- Run the downloaded file and install the
drivers. The other applications that are shipped with the X-Fi may
need to be installed from the CD.
- Reboot PC when prompted.
- Relaunch Battlefield2.
- You can now apply Sound Blaster X-Fi settings in the game's audio settings
and proceed.
Note: You can also run Setup.exe from the following location
on the hard drive C:\Programs\Creative\Sound Blaster X-Fi\Program.
Should the problem persist, you can manually search and rename the following
three files in your computer (you can replace .DLL to .OLD when renaming), and then install the Sound Blaster X-Fi again.
