Can you tell me what unknown device Windows XP has found? ISA PnPsoundblaster 16
After installing Windows XP on an computer system the Device
Manager found an unknown device on the Intel 83271AB/EB PCI to ISA bridge (ISA mode). The system uses an Abit BX6r2 mother board and has only 2 ISA slots. The only ISA slot being used has a Creative Labs/Vibra CT2940 PnP ISA soundblaster 16 card installed. During installation, Windows XP correctly installed the soundblaster 16 audio and midi driver. Windows XP also seems to have found the CT2940 IDE controller ( setting it without any i/o conflicts using ports 0168-016f and 013E-013f, IRQ 10 ). Windows media Player appears to play wma and mid files correctly. The system also passed the DirectX8 music and sound tests. The Creative Labs website says that Windows XP comes prepackaged with all the device drivers for the Soundblaster 16(CT2940). I also have two PCI cards installed (a Realtek fastethernet NIC and a US Robotics 56k internal modem) plus a S3 AGP video card. I am at a lost as to what kind of unknown device Windows XP thinks it has found on the ISA bus. If I delete this unknown device from the device manager Windows XP will find it again when it reboots. Can you tell me what Windows XP has found is? microsoft.public.windowsxp.device_driver.dev microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware |

And it also listed the joystick port separately. You say you've installed the sound and midi driver. Could it be the "Gameport Joystick" driver that is missing? |

Greetings --
Does that sound card have a port for connecting a joystick or other game controller? That could be what WinXP is detecting?

I would download and install the latest drivers from Creative Labs.

Can you tell me what Windows XP has found is? Try following the advice in the following Microsoft KB article: http://support.microsoft.com:80/supp.../q304/5/14.asp See if doing that gives you more information about the device, in particular if it gives an id like "*PNP1234" or "*CTL4321".

Hardware id = ISAPNP\CTL0024_DEV0002*PNPffff Breaking this down: ISAPNP: it's an ISA PnP device CTL0024: it's an SB16 DEV0002: it's the third function of the SB16 *PNPffff: it's compatable with the "Reserved" device Basically, your SB16 is telling Windows XP that it's a multi-function device and one of those functions is compatable with the hardware that corresponds to PNPffff "Reserved" device id, and so should the same driver it would use with the compatible hardware. However, the PNPffff device id is reserved by Microsoft, has no meaning, and there's no kind of hardware that corresponds to it. So not suprisingly Windows XP isn't able to find a suitable driver for it. In other words, this unknown device is your SB16. It shows up because of something dumb Creative did, and is both completely useless and harmless. You can just ignore it.
