Since a few months I had the very strange issue that the default samplerate is 48KHz which caused me to set it manualy each time I wanted to play “normal” encoded audio. When I upgraded to windows 7 the control panel stopped displaying. It launches correctly when windows starts but it won’t open the control panel when i click it – and it’s strangely enough to mention that the pane preview works fine. Since I am listnen to music primary via winamp, I could work around the samplerate issue via the out_aiso plugin, so that I can listnen to music again.
However, the disappearing of the control panel “on screen” can be eventually solved if you do the following very few steps:
- close the control panel
- open up rededit
- navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Creative Professional\E-MU USB Audio Control Panel
- delete the following entries: “WindowX”, “WindowY”
- launch the CP again and you will see it again
Thanks a lot! Congenial resolving the problem!
IMPORTANT!:
Close the control panel through the windows task manager > processes EmuUsbAudioCP.exe without this step doesn’t worked for me. (Because if you close it normally the CP still running.) After this u can start the regedit etc..
Actually the process should be ended when you close the Control Panel via the tray icon – but you are right, when you close the regular dialog of the CP it will remain as process.
With E-MU 0202 the same problem occurs. Under Vista 32 bit your method works only temporarily, under Windows 7 64 bit it works too, but I still have no statisics for how long…
I’ve written a little batch to speed up this nerving task, but it requires pskill ( http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896683.aspx ):

at least you don’t have to remember the paths and proceedure with this batch. hope this helps.
Thanks so much for taking the time to write this I was having the exact same problem now fixed.
Thank you, into-soul! It works and you saved my day.
All the best
