Hi kemical, The solution offered by Cantatis to install the driver in a Windows 7 environment resulted in the following error message when trying to install driver (second part of the procedure) "Install Wizard can't find the proper component for the current platform" I guess this means that...

Hi kemical, Many Thanks for the trouble that you are going to to try and help me! I don't know how I missed the Cantatis Windows 7 post. I will try that later today. Here is the motherboard info: Manufacturer : Dell Inc. Mainboard : Dell 0N826N Bios : Dell Inc. Chipset : Intel G31/G33/G35...

I would need very detailed instructions to do that. I am familiar with computers but my knowledge is limited. Willing to try ! What I do not understand is why Windows did not detect the card when I moved it to another slot. When I installed this card the first time and and switched the PC on...

Hi kemical, Moved the card to another slot, re-installed the drivers as per the manufacturers website - no luck. Windows is still not detecting the card. Thanks for the suggestion anyway. If there are any more ideas out there, I will try anything!

Hi kemical Yes, I tried Windows Update. It is too bad as this is a really excellent card but it was expensive, in 2009 I paid $430, it was on promotion. It so happens that I do have an empty slot. I will uninstall the driver and move the card to another slot, follow the manufacturers...

Yes, I up-dated the Realtek drivers and I have sound. I will keep trying to reach the manufacturer but they are not responding to e-mail and there is no answer at the telephone numbers given. Seems like this was an expensive mistake?

Hi kemical, No this sound card is not listed anywhere in Device Manager. These are the only sound related items listed: Envy 24 Family Audio Controller WDM Microsoft Lifecam Realtek High Definition Audio None of these have either "!" or "?" next to them. I checked every item listed in device...

Many Thanks Davehc, I know nothing about programming or scripting but reading your post it seems that you want to change the registry key from a default sample rate setting of 48KHz to enabling selection of multiple sample rates as my sound card can process sample rates up to 192KHz. I...

I have tried that but the manufacturer is not responding. According to the Microsoft webpage quoted in my post Win 8 was developed with compatibility in mind and that there is little difference in the sound architecture between Win 8 and Win 7. If this is so I do not understand why the current...

I have a Cantatis Overture 192 soundcard an d previously ran it in Vista SP2 with no problems. I recently upgraded to Windows 8 Pro build 9200. I cannot get Windows to see the soundcard. I have downloaded and installed the driver from the manufacturer and ran the installation as administrator...
