We are taking Pebble, one of our favorite 2.0 desktop speakers, and making it even better! Introducing Pebble V2, a successor to the popular Pebble speaker - we are keeping its minimalistic design, and giving it USB-C connectivity for higher power output! If you are using older computers with USB Type-A ports, not to worry, a USB-C to USB-A converter is included for you. Pebble V2 also has a built-in gain switch to help amplify your audio so you can turn up your music and it will still be nothing short of astounding.


Every time Windows has a brain fart and does something with audio drivers (which sometimes seems to be just randomly out of the blue), my speakers configuration gets changed from Stereo with Bookshelf to 5.1 Desktop. And distance of speakers also gets reset with it. Why? Why can't you make the damn settings stick no matter what is happening?

DriverGuide maintains an extensive archive of Windows drivers available for free download. We employ a team from around the world which adds hundreds of new drivers to our site every day. How to Install Drivers Once you download your new driver, then you need to install it. To install a driver in Windows, you will need to use a built-in utility called Device Manager. It allows you to see all of the devices recognized by your system, and the drivers associated with them.


Many device drivers are not updated through the Microsoft Windows Update service. If you are having trouble finding the right driver, stop searching and fix driver problems faster with the Automatic Driver Update Utility. Automatic updates could save you hours of time.






The Driver Update Utility automatically finds, downloads and installs the right driver for your hardware and operating system. It will Update all of your drivers in just a few clicks, and even backup your drivers before making any changes.


Many computer problems are caused by missing or outdated device drivers, especially in Windows 11. If your desktop or laptop is running slow, or keeps crashing or hanging, there is a good chance that updating your drivers will fix the problem.


The Sound Blaster Roar is a masterpiece of audio innovation. It features not one, but two high performance amplifiers, and five speaker drivers (which includes a built-in active subwoofer for kickass thumping bass.) No other battery-powered portable wireless speakers of the same size and price can even come close to the Roar's acclaimed audio performance. The compact speaker powerhouse is designed to punch way above its weight in sheer audio power, filling an entire room with BIG non-sweet spot-dependent sound. It is further enhanced with proprietary ROAR, TeraBass, and MegaStereo technologies.


Connected it via optical cable to Logitech Z906. Installed latest drivers from their web page, enabled encoding to dts and it works, my receiver shows up dts signal and it is all great, but the problem is, that volume control is not working. When I open my sound settings under "mixer" and change the volume of "Speakers" or "SPDIF-Out" nothing happens, changes only occur if I change the recorder "What U Hear" volume(works as changing output sound volume). This wouldn't be a big issue if I could just make windows default volume control to change this volume, but I can't because it is an input device, not output device.


This guide will help you install VxD drivers for Audigy cards under Windows 98SE or Windows ME, including proper support for DOS gaming. It has been successfully tested on retail Audigy 1 (SB0090), Audigy 2 (SB0240) and Audigy 2 ZS (SB0350) cards. However, it isn't suitable for LX/LE/SE and other cut down versions of Audigy cards, nor will it work on Audigy 4 cards. For reference, by using this guide, you get the following features from your Audigy card under Win9x:


1.1 Certain chipsets have compatibility issues with VxD drivers and Creative's SB16 emulation. If you have a motherboard based on an Nvidia nForce chipset or an Intel ICH10+ chipset, then your system might not be compatible with this guide. Additionally, certain motherboards based on VIA chipsets may have compatibility issues with Audigy 1 cards specifically (Audigy 2 and ZS cards should work fine on VIA chipsets)

1.2 Upon booting up your system, enter the BIOS and disable all COM and LPT ports in order to free up additional resources. If your motherboard has an integrated sound card, network card or any other integrated device that you are not using, disable it in the BIOS as well. Lastly, if you are not using USB, disable that too

1.3 During the driver installation process, the Audigy should be the only sound card in your system. Using a second sound card may cause the driver installation to fail

1.4 This guide has only been tested on Windows 98SE and Windows ME. A clean install of Windows must be performed before attempting the driver installation procedure. Do not use any "unofficial service packs". Only install the drivers for your motherboard and graphics card until you complete all the steps in this guide

1.5 An Audigy card requires two free IRQs, one for the card itself and a second one for the FireWire port. The values assigned to those IRQs vary from system to system, but they should not be the same as the IRQ assigned to the SB16 emulation device. Additionally, the SB16 emulation device requires three I/O ports, one IRQ and two DMA channels. The default values are: I/O ports 220, 330 and 388, IRQ 5, DMA 1 and DMA 5. If any of those resources are not free, the driver installation may fail. To determine if your system has enough free resources, under Windows 98SE click Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Information > Hardware Resources and check the IRQ, DMA and I/O sections


4.1 Run D:\Audio\AudioHQ\Setup.exe and install Creative's AudioHQ (if you get an InstallShield Engine error here, repeat step 3.1)

4.2 Run D:\Audio\EaxCon\Setup.exe and install Creative EAX Console

4.3 Run D:\Audio\SpkSet\Setup.exe and install Creative Speaker Settings

4.4 Run D:\Audio\Restore\Setup.exe and install Creative Restore Defaults

4.5 Run D:\Audio\SurMixer\Setup.exe and install Creative Surround Mixer

4.6 Run D:\Audio\SFBMgr\Setup.exe and install the SoundFont Bank Manager

4.7 Start > Programs > Creative > Creative Speaker Settings and select the speaker setup that you are using, then click "Channel" in the Speaker Test section (in the screenshot below I'm using 5.1 speakers)

4.8 Start > Programs > Creative > EAX Console > CMSS 3D. I suggest turning CMSS off if you are using speakers and leaving it on if you are using headphones


5.1 Run D:\DOSDRV\SB16.REG and answer Yes > Ok when prompted (without this registry change, the SB16 Emulation driver will not install correctly on Audigy 2 ZS cards)

5.2 Run D:\DOSDRV\Setup.exe and restart when prompted

5.3 Wait until the Creative SB16 Emulation drivers are fully installed (this may take a few minutes) then restart again when prompted

5.4 During the boot process you might see a "Config file is incomplete" error. If this happens, restart your computer one more time and it should disappear

5.5 Copy the contents of D:\DOSDRV\AUDIGY12 to C:\AUDIGY12

5.6 On Audigy 2 (SB0240) models, you might get a non-functional Creative SB16 Emulation device (yellow exclamation mark) in Device Manager. If this occurs, follow steps 5.7, 5.8 and 5.9. Otherwise, skip them

5.7 Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add New Hardware > Next > Next > No, the device isn't in the list > Next > No, I want to select the hardware from a list > Next > Sound video and game controllers > Next > Creative Technology, Ltd. > Creative SB16 Emulation > Next > Finish

5.8 Restart your computer when prompted

5.9 Do not remove the Creative SB16 Emulation device with the yellow exclamation mark. Leave both devices as they are, otherwise, your DOS compatibility may cease to function


Note that MT-32 emulation doesn't sound too great on this card, but I'm including it for completeness sake. That said, these drivers also allow your Audigy card to emulate FM Synthesis, should you want that. Of course, this sounds different from a genuine OPL3 chip, but it may still be somewhat usable, depending on the game that you're playing.


Using the original drivers, right click on My Computer > Properties > Device Manager > Sound, Video and Game Controllers > Creative SB16 Emulation > Properties > Resources and uncheck "Use automatic settings". Then, choose "Basic Configuration 0002" > Change Setting.


Since installing the Audigy drivers is difficult enough even without any hardware conflicts, I would also suggest physically pulling out any cards from your motherboard other than the Audigy and your GPU. You can add them back later, one by one, after successfully configuring the Audigy and see which one causes the conflict.


But the most important thing about solid-state drivers is that they offer greater accuracy and clarity than regular speaker drivers. This results in an enhanced listening experience. Well, the same technology is now coming to wireless earbuds. And these Bluetooth earphones could be the next big thing.


Like traditional speakers, the solid-state drivers vibrate to make sounds. But the main difference is that the drivers are the results of the MEMS manufacturing process. For those wondering, MEMS stands for micro-electromechanical systems. This process combines moving parts with semiconductor technology.


So, Creative, a well-known audio brand, is gearing up to launch the first pair of wireless earbuds with solid-state drivers. By incorporating cutting-edge technology, the brand aims to offer a brand-new experience to audiophiles. And considering how small the solid-state drivers are, the buds will be much smaller than regular earbuds.
