Santa Cruz sound card

Guest

I have a turtle beach santa cruz sound card, and it's the only thing left
that still doesn't work. Anyone had any luck getting this to work? Any
drivers out there anyone knows of?

No, and it won't be. It is no longer supported by the Manufacturer.
Check their web site.

***Pssst Paula. Yes and it will be forever.** Oh noooooo--Paula! The guy
needs his music.

What won't be forever is such a lame name like Vister for a Windoz OS. You
can make TBSC work on Longhorn/Vister, Blackomb/Vienna and whichever ski
resort MSFTies like to go and get 10 sheets to the wind at. What scares me
about "Vienna" is a bunch of partying 'Softies' runnin around crazy and
faced in the land of Motzart--just like at the Longhorn--a scary vision
indeed.

You can make TBSC work perfectly on any build of Vister since they been
hatchin it--what's also frightening is that they be half way through its
gestation period, and fundamenatal components simply do not work in the
crisp yuppily phrased gadget esconsed Redmond world that manufactured the
meaningless term "feature complete". Also it's very premature to apply the
Madison Avenue Seattle/Richland Washington phrase/mantra "clear, confident,
and connected." We're far from anywhere near that. My gawd if I'm lookin'
at all the features let's hope they are far from complete and very
embryonic. I fear that this OS will be born with congenitally hypoplastic
major organs at that rate it's going and hardly be viable--and its CPR tools
are broken right now.

I wish, I wish I had a nickle for every sound expert including the BT's from
Creative who proclaim that you can never get a VTBSC sound card workin in
ole Vister. They is jist dead wrong. Of course ya can.

There is always teaching pearls in every workaround/mod/and adaptation on
the fly and the one in this one is this here one :

********If the drivers are WDM drivers then they should integrate with Vista
(atm anyways)*******
**They are WDM, but the key part of it this workaround is copying the
control panel from XP to Vister; the control panel that comes with it since
everything on it is hardware pbased the control panels manages it all**


Of course it will work Paula/Paula/Paula!!!!! remember Windows is made by
that company that used to say "Where do ya wanna go" in it's banal/and
supremely boring 35 minute XP commercial in setup. Now Google has paid Dell
to camp out on some of that Vister setup real estate and desktop.

I'm fairly meek and awestruck with the plethora of computer/Windoz expertise
on these newsgroups but of course you can make a Turtle Beach sound card
work in Vista. Whatcha gotta learn is just cause them people says something
and they are some kind of company on a web site--it don't gotta never be
true. So I'll show ya how with all respectfulisms due to Ms. Paula from
the scenic land of No Spam, Noneville. It ain't "no Turtle Beach Paula."
It's absolutely Turtle Beach blaring on Vister.

Mindspin--let's get the party started so you can upload music on your space
and Paula can get up and dance to it. Santa Cruz made high quality sound
cards. Yeah they made them when MSFT made the lowest quality OS on earth ME
because the OEMs were hungry for profit and MSFT was willing to ship mush in
a 16 bit/32 bit hybrid monstrosity called ME. That Billy and Jimmy Alchin
could wave to those choppers off the Redmond campus with SEGs on their face
shows ya how strong they are. There is Machiavelli in every forebrain.

If you follow these steps, you will get Santa Cruz Turtle Beach working in
no time. I'd be glad to post proof that it does with the Vista notification
area option icon and my VSCTB files and some tunes.

Here's how:

If you have any problems or questions please post up in this here space and
I'll help ya make Santacruz work. It works darn well in ole Vister.
Unfortunately though, it looks like a plethora of crucial components are on
a freight train not to work because of PM tin ears. Note that accountants
like to call the shots at MSFT often instead of computer science trained
engineers.

This here thing is pure unadulterated nonsense as to whether TB will work in
ole Vister.
http://support.turtlebeach.com/site/kb_ftp/585117847.asp What I done read
is that it says new technologies has come; and that they retired the sound
card drivers. That has zero to do with whether TB plays great music on
Vister. This reference got a whole lotta stuff on VTBSC in it, but it's not
necessary to read it--I just threw it in for a little context:
http://support.turtlebeach.com/site/kb_ftp/585.asp

So to get you some music and sounds: (The Queen Latifah/Bill Gates couple
launching MCE 2005 is one of my fave clips--chemistry exudes and a melding
of the minds is just over the top with those two). I can see Queen Latifah
focused like a laser on those Charles Petzold hex equations and feedback
loops in Billy's head.

*How to Install VTBSC Sound Card on Vista***

BTW you will see ubiqutiously and more ubiquitiser on the web that people
will refer you to try to use the Crystal Chip Set drivers--because Crystal
makes the chip set for TBSC. The Turtle Beach Santa Cruz card uses the
**cs46xx chipset The CS4630 used on the Santa Cruz was made by Crystal
Semiconductor/Cirrus Logic. That's interesting info but as to using them--
Faheddaboutdit as the guys at the Bing always say. There are difficult to
find and don't work well once you've expended all that time so don't.

***Do this:***

1) You need to run a Win XP with a TBSC 4161S driver installed on the XP
partition/drive. 1 primary and 1 extended with a logical partition for your
Vista partition and they will both "see" each other as they are both active.
That is the only way the Turtle Beach recommended method will work.

The drivers come from here:
http://www.turtlebeach.com/site/kb_ftp/585ftp.asp

2) Then install the 4193 TBSC driver on ole Vister. It'll install the
software and may error out on the unsigned driver, but don't sweat the
error.

3) Then on Vista, Before rebooting, go to Device Manager and manually update
the Santa CruzT or the Multimedia Audio Controller that is possibly question
marked. Browse to the Program Files\Turtle Beach\Santa Cruz\Driver\WDM
folder on the XP partition and Device Manager's wizard will install the
signed 4161s on Vista as well as the XP boot.. BTW you'll find that many
drivers that are difficult to get Vista to accept, will be installed just
fine if you select on the wiz "I'll install from my own location" then
browse to where the driver files are located.

4) You must install this VTBSC control panel for this little equation to
work.

5) Copy the Santa Cruz Control Panel from your XP drive where it is
installed, for example if XP were installed on C:\ to the drive or partition
where Vista is installed. On C:\ this would be located at C:\Program
Files\Turtle Beach\Santa Cruz\Control Panel

6) Reboot and you have sound and you can use that Turtle Beach card for
anything that the descendants of Jim Allchin will throw atcha.

Good Luck,

My goodness gracious. I don't know how sober you are lately Mr. Barnhorst,
but I have music on TBSC and this isn't a "rehab forum." Ask Rush Limbaugh
where those are. This thread is about how to get sound in Vista via a Turtle
Beach card. I would welcome all the ancillary methods you have and look
forward to reading them soon. I posted it because I saw someone giving the
advice it couldn't be done, and sound is as far as I can discern, important
to people on a computer.

I take it you mean people who think they are hearing sound from a Santa Cruz
card on Turtle Beach aren't sober? That they are under the influence of an
intoxicating substance?

They only fly in the ointment I see is that many newbies have already
updated, yes updated their only computer with no partition to ole Vister.
Heckins, many of them couldn't get how to burn an image!

So, yes, obviously your idea works for someone who can use more than the
start button, but I dare you to come up with a way that works for the poor,
poor soul who wanted to know why he couldn't get to 64-bit color in x64.

Paula --

I know you mean well, but there's a difference between Paula can't get it to
work in a series of one--Paula, and your making public proclamations that
something does not work and will never work as if you've tested extensively
and reached that conclusion. You have taken two mainstream routine drivers
that will work perfectly in every Vista build and assumed based on a notion
that they don't work, and announced they will never work.

They will work, and instead of just proclaiming they will, I've posted
precisely how to make them work in seconds.


Voyetra Turtle Beach Sound Cards DO WORK.
3 Com 3C 905C TX Compatible (3C920) cards do work.

These are mainstream functionality--or do you know many happy campers who
can't surf the net or play music on their boxes?
Unlike you, Paula, Lucy would never have guessed that these items don't
work in Vista; she would have made sure they do.

Oh, Good Grief!

Milleron keep posting your medical pearls. I really treasure the
opportunity to learn medical pearls from people in here that can't even find
the crash cart for Vista and couldn't get into the door of a med school.

If and when you spent a day catching real patients in a real ER, you'd
quickly learn the difference between passion for getting things fixed that
weren't fixed in XP and superficial people who can only post cheap medical
epithets who couldn't get in the door of amed school. Since this isn't as
far as I can tell a medical forum,and you don't as far as I can tell have a
hell of a lot of clinical medicine under your belt, why don't you enlighten
us with your pearls on

SFC
Win RE
System Restore

in Vista. Could it be that your clinical medical expertise and your Vista
expertise are equally lacking? Look forward to any of either herel. LOL

Post all the MSFT documentation on their sites for Win RE, SFC, and SR while
you're at it. Working well are they?

As far as I can tell the only post that gets music for the original poster
using a Santa Cruz TB card and drivers is mine after ridiculous posts that
they don't work. People who post from the experience in their imaginations
really contribute. I like the "I don't think the driver will work because
it's old" That's great computer science.

Uhh ... I graduated from a "top-tier" medical school, and I'm double
board-certified -- i.e., in a specialty and in a subspecialty. I have
more than a quarter century of "clinical medicine under my belt."
However, as you've apparently failed to understand, that's irrelevant
because medical expertise has nothing to do with my response. The
humorous pokes you're taking in this forum are because your posts
really do smack of mania. They're not normal, Chad. When the group
gets 3-500 posts per day, do you really think that ANYone is going to
take the time to read your 3,000-word rants. In other words, it
doesn't matter whether you're right or wrong because the terribly
abnormal approach you take to Usenet means that no one is going to
take you seriously, anyway. Get it???

To date Milleron, however many boards you grandiosely and probably
delusionally boast of, my post have been focused on solving problems with
the OS whether it's Vista or XP involved on the same drive with Vista as
posted in this group by OPs. I see none of your posts that have done that on
this newsgroup on a search. Maybe the same illness that renders you
delusional interfers with your ability to read.

I suspect your penchant for throwing the word manic around is from your own
chronic and long standing diagnosis and it's not very well compensated.

If you're seeing 3000 word rants, or any rants, they are part of your
delusional experience. I would suspect you're either 1) off medication 2)
need to get competent help to find medication reasonably in the ballpark
since it's going to be approximate at best anyway.

My posts are to fix specific problems, not to garner praise from someone
(like yourself) who has yet to fix one here.

Hello, Chad, I didn't have much trouble at all with Beta2 with Santa Cruz on
a Dell computer but after installing RC1, my Santa Cruz sound card stopped
working.
I tried your steps your described. However I got an error message at the
step where I manually update the driver from Device Manager after installing
4193.
I had 4146s installed on another drive with XP. The error I got at this step
after pointing the path for install the driver to "xpdrive:\program files
....WDM" is this
"Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error
while attempting to install it."

I tried various things, removing everything and do cleaning installing with
different versions and with your methods. None worked.
The only time the driver can be installed is when I use the 4112 install CD
from Dell but this cause RC1 get blue screen immediately. I had to get into
safe mode to remove it.

Anyone has the same problem? Is there a solution?

Thanks.

Sawn--

I see those errors when installing too, but I always get it in. I've been
running RC1 since the moment the softies dropped it and I have the sound
working. I've also noticed that RC1 will drop some drivers on reboot
ocassionally like the sound and the Nic card so I just reinstall them and
chalk that up to the paradigm that MSFT has never been more sloppy or more
money hungry than with Vista and it's just one of many bugs they either
don't notice, don't care about, or won't fix. What MSFT is shipping is
really what a normal person would call Beta 1I have come to believe they'd
ship empty boxes if they thought they could sell and people wouldn't object
too loudly.

I think you can get it in quickly. I use this as a model:

I was able to get the Santa Cruz soundcard to work using the original Santa
Cruz installation software. You can download it at www.download.com by typing
"Santa Cruz" in the search box.

After dowload unzip the file and right-click on the TBSCruz4161s.exe file
and choose WinXP SP2 compatability. Put a check on the last 3 boxes under
"settings"

Run the TBSCruz4161s.exe file. It will uninstall any Santa Cruz driver it
detects and it will ask you to rerun the TBSCruz4161s.exe file

After installation the speaker icon for the soundcard on the taskbar still
has a red X on it ignore this.

Right-click the speaker icon and choose "playback devices"

Click on the speaker icon that has the green check mark

Click the "properties" button

Click the "levels" tab

Click on any speaker icon that has a red X to re-activate them

Click the OK button

Click the "configure" button

Click the "test" button and you should hear the sound test playback

If you don't hear anything double-click the speaker icon on the taskbar and
raise the volume level

Try the sound test again it should be working

The only thing that this procedure does not install or work with is the
gamepad driver for the soundcard which I just disabled in device manager
since I do not use a joystick.

Hope this works for the Santa Cruz sound card users

It worked great for me
