Audigy 2 problems with spdif out not working and cracking appear

Hello everyone,
I am new in this forum but after searching through it i decided to post as i din't find a problem exactly similar to mine.
I have a Creative audigy 2 ZS plugged on my computer with this configuration : Gygabyte P35 DS3, Quad core Q6600, Kingston 2 gb.
From the beginning of my purchase i did not have any problem of cracking or connection problems in spdif with digital din in either XP or Vista. Last week end i decided to re install XP after a virus infection with XP SWEET wich install directly the drivers of my peripherals like the audigy.
The audigy is connected to my speakers : Creative? 5. kit 5700 via the digital din connection and without any analog connection as i selected digital out only in my settings.
Everything was working fine until 2 days ago when? while watching a divx the sound stopped working. i checked everything in m connection and everything was good as well as my speakers. finally i connected the audigy via analog cables to the speakers to find that, if i select digital out only no sound could be heard and finally that poping and cracking sounds started to appear.
I don't know what happened with my system as it never did that before in any of my configurations.
When i reboot my computer, the digital out start working again to finally stop 5 minutes later.
If somebody can help me is help would be most welcome.
Thank you!

Well, I do not know much about the red light thingy, but if the S-Bracket works well, it should be not problem, unless you can't get anything from the S-Bracket.

  • XBox 360/Audigy: SPDIF IN pass through to SPDIF OUT not working with 5.1

    Hi,
    I've a problem passing my digital dobly signal from my 360 over the Audigy soundblaster to my external decoder. I want to use digital SPDIF IN from the audigy?IO device to pass the signal directly without processing to the external decoder by using the SPDIF OUT.
    There is only one digital in at the decoder, so I need this combination if I want my PC and XBox to be connected both without a toslink switch.
    I activated the pass through and external decoder option in the audigy console application. I also disabled the DDL encoder. Additionally I set my Windows 7 speaker settings to use SPDIF OUT as standard device.
    This is working for every dolby digital signal?from a dvd which I play on my PC, but not for the XBox signal. The signal is not recognized as a 5. dolby digital signal, but as a 2.0 signal. So something must happen with the signal in the audigy. The XBox settings are correct, because when I connect the toslink cable directly to the decoder everything works fine.
    My drivers are the newest one (3.8)?from the support pack.
    I don't want to use the DDL option, because the latency is much to high to allow regular playing!
    Is there a possibility to pass the XBox signal through to my decoder by using the digital in and out of the audigy?
    Thanks in advance,
    Axel

    Hi I have the same probleme, exept that I have succesfuly pluged my home theater receiver and the 5.1 works. Just my subwoofer seems not to work properly. Like when I plug it into a digital dvd player it works very nicely. but when pluged into the sound card it seems that it dosnt have any signal for it.
    ANy clues??? I know i pluged everything finely I have tested the sound test for each speaker and sub to, from the receiver and from the creative software the sub seems to work but very quietly even if I cran the volume up on the sub or in the software , the sub dont work as it should.
    1 thing I remarqued is that the sub works occasionaly in some movies. When listening to the music it not working and I dont understand that.

    No one has this problem at all?
    I want to find out for sure if there is a fix before going back to the older drivers.
    If i do the test in the spdif out properties panel -> supported formats. When I do the dolby digital test I see the light come on in my receiver and hear sound just thru the front speakers. But when I use power DVD 9 ultra with the latest patch. I don't get the digital light on my receiver. I had this working with the previous drivers released earlier this year.

  • Problem with HP SimpleSave not working

     I have a 1TB HP SmartSave external HDD, before hand it was with my father and I recently tried to use it again. It's not working, and here are the details:
    - When it's plugged in my laptop recognizes it as a CD drive, but one with only 884 KB of space
    - Upon clicking the drive, the only thing there is the HP Launcher (552 KB), and I'm guessing this is the problem.
    - Obviously, clicking the launcher does nothing.
    - I tried looking into the problem and saw the solution about downloading the SimpleSave's software and launching it from inside the HD, but I can't do that because according to my laptop the HD only has 884 KB of space. Any attempt to copy files to the location or extract them there comes up with a "not enough space" error.
    - I'm also unable to delete the current HP Launcher application or format this thing.
    So, any ideas? I NEED YOUR HELP!!!!

    Hello malehussey,
    The HDD is not being seen and the limited space is the CD emulator thats attached to the drive being reported.
    The CD emulator is a bridge that has to be used for SimpleSave to work.
    Have you tried using it in another computer to rule out any issues with your laptop?
    If it does work, we can go from there.
    Can you tell if the hard drive spins when plugged in?
    Also go into Disk Management to see if the HDD is recognized or shows as Unallocated Space. Right click My Computer and choose Manage/Disk Management (depending on which operating system you have).
    If it does not show at all, its most likely that the hard drive has met its end of life.
    You could go further (if you like tinkering) and tear the case apart, remove the CD card attached to the HDD and hook the HDD directly to a SATA port on a desktop type of PC with a SATA cord. Also you can use a USB to SATA adapter or a HDD Dock to plug the drive into a laptop. Then you can see if the drive will work properly. If it does, then theres a problem with the CD card or connection in the case. The case alone cannot be used to connect the HDD without the CD card installed because of the hookups.
    If you can extract the files saved on the SimpleSave drive, you will not be able to use any SimpleSave backups (and possibly any other files saved either) unless you have the CD card hooked to the drive first. The CD card encrypts and decrypts the data on the SimpleSave drive.
    Bottom line, its most likely time to buy another external drive. 

  • TS3274 i have problem with the sound not working

    i have problem with the sounds not working

    Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the iPod/Music and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
    Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

  • Problems with filling out/going back and editing filled out information and signing forms

    Users cannot fully fill out, edit and save forms--
    the forms were set up in InDesign CS6, then edited in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 for all the form info and after that was set up the forms were saved as extended pdfs to allow adobe reader users to fill them out and sign.
    The users are having all kinds of issues with the forms and its been difficult to pin point the exact cause.
    Here are 2 errors:
    This document enabled extended features in Adobe reader. This document has been changed since it was created and use of extended features is no longer available. Please contact the author for the original version of this document.
    The security settings on this document prevent adding text and/or placing a signature on it from Adobe Reader. To fill out and sign this document you need to print it out.
    ---I've checked the security on the form and there is no security not allowing them to fill it out and I believe that originally they were able to but the form was saved and then they went back and were unable to edit it. I need to know if its something I need to do on my end or an instruction I need to give to them--steps to filling out and saving programs vesions to use etc..
    sorry for some of the holes in the info. the form was created for a client and they sent it out to their employees so I do not have direct contact with the people having the issues just two screenshots, and I have not been able to find an answer that works--this is what I thought would help but it didnt:
    It should solve the signature/adding text  issue—From : http://forums.adobe.com/thread/987256
    Your user should go to Extended pane in Reader to apply a digital signature to the Reader extended PDF.
    The user is probably trying to use the Sign pane in Reader which has some options disabled according to the document permissions. The new Sign pane in Reader is an integration with Adobe EchoSign service in the sense that it enables an end user to fill-up documents, electronically sign and then send a PDF document, without having the need to print them. The Sign pane provides two options to the user:
    1 - Fill and Sign: Here the user can place text using 'Add Text'. Users can add arbitrary text to a PDF, eg. in documents where Reader cannot interact with the document even though the document looks like a form, in forms where user cannot save the filled-up form. In such cases the only option a user has is to print the form, fill it and then fax or fedex the filled up document to the author or scan it and send it electronically. Using the Sign pane in Reader, a user can add text and also electronically sign the document (this is not the same as digital signature) using an image of their signature. He can create a 'signature' from a scanned paper which has user's handwritten signature and place it on the PDF.
    2 - Send for Signature: Here the user is sent to EchoSign for collecting signatures from others.

    You will get that first message when the document has been changed in a way that invalidates the internal digital signature that's applied when a document is Reader-enabled. Certain changes are allowed (e.g., filling fields, commenting, signing) and will not invalidate the signature, but others are not. The exact cause of the change is often hard to track down, but it can be due to font problems, some type of file corruption, or something that Acrobat/Reader attempts to correct when the file is opened/saved. You will also get the message if the users system time is not correct and is currently set to some time before the document was Reader-enabled. It seems best to use the most recent version of Acrobat to enabled the documents and recent versions of Reader to work with them.
    It problem is probably not related to the user using anything in the Sign pane.

  • Qosmio G30-102 Optical SPDIF out not working

    I have bought new Qosmio G30-102 and I am quite sure that SPDIF Optical Out connector is not working.
    I can't test it at the moment, but I had a couple of SPDIF sound cards and every one of them had a red light on all the time, which signalized that Optical SPDIF is supported.

    Hi,
    maybe I would first try a SPDIF device, if I were you, because I agree with the user before, it has definetively a SPDIF out.

  • Having problems with some links not working. Especially with webhost

    I sent this about 1/2 hour ago but never received the confirming email so thought I would try again. Sorry about the dupe if you did receive this.
    I am having a problem with Firefox. I have a website that I need to check stats with. I was able to login but when I clicked on the link for the stats nothing happened. No new page, no new window, no new screen. I tried all links and still nothing. At bottom of page it said "done". Then I got out of the webhost and tried other links, some worked some didn't.
    I went into Safari to check, and I was able to get my stats, so I tried again on Firefox, still nothing. I noticed a few other problems also, where I got the strangest things happening. Like when I tried to get on GoogleAds and YahooAds it didn't recognize me and also started redirecting me to other stuff.
    I prefer using Firefox, is there anyway to make the fixes?

    Downgrading is not supported by Apple.
    For better or worse, the burden is on app developers to make their apps compliant to the current iOS. If they haven't done that, then unfortunately users are stuck until they do so. The most you can do is communicate your issues to your app developers and see if they will get an update out to make their app work again. That or find another app.

  • Audigy 2 Value digital out not work

    I'm trying to use the digital out on my audigy 2 value card using my onkyo system (6. with a receiver). at first i tried using a stereo /8" male to /8" male cord with one end using a /8" to rca adapter and hooking that up to my coax input on my receiver. using that, i was only able to get 2.0 sound (no sub signal). I have my receiver set to 'direct' input so it receives whatever PCM or DD signal is sent. I tried both mp3's and dvds and nothing gives more than 2.0. I called tech support and was told i needed to use a mono cable. i went to radio shack and got a /8" mono (male) to phono (female) adapter and hooked it up to one end of a phono (male) to phono (male) cord and plugged them into the respecti've places on my soundcard and receiver (coax). Still only 2.0. I did the speaker test in speaker settings and it confirms only 2.0 because all i hear is "front left" and "front right". what's wrong? I'm about to go nuts on this.

    alright, i read the knowledge base articles and saw that the tests won't output more than left and right, but still, it's not working for my dvd's. i have my receiver set to "direct". is that right? i'm using windows media player for the dvd playback, should i try something else? do i have to install an AC3 codec? do i have to enable something in media player? anything please

  • Acer Liquid E700 problem with headphone jack, not working properly.

    Here I am again, what a surprise! Reporting another problem with my 2 month old ACER LIQUID E700. Now the problem is, the headphone jack isnt working properly. When I watch movies, or play music with a headphone or earphone, the dialogue or conversations during movies , or the lyrics sang when playing music, can barely be heard. Also , everytime I connect my earphone it the E700, theres a fast ticking sound, which is faint but you can really hear it, and thats when I realized something was wrong. P.S This phone was never dropped or gotten wet. Im really starting to regret buying an acer phone.Any acer representatives out there who know whats going on?

    Well airstrike2014, I do know how it happened to me, it's weird but definitely how it happened, so I was downloading a electrical razor app to scare my friends (I know, it's stupid, but anyway) and the app works by vibrating at full power and playing a electric razor sound, but it would only vibrate (and the app description said that it would make some sounds too) and I tried maxing out my sound but there was really no way to make it play any sounds. I got tired of it 5 mins later and uninstalled thinking the problem was in the app or something, but I go watch a YouTube video right after and no sound was coming out either, even with the volume maxed out and with headphones, so I restart my phone, now sounds play perfectly when there aren't any headphones plugged in but when there are, it now happens what you described there, a tick sound lasting the first few seconds the headphones are plugged in and if I try to play any media it happens that "instrumental effect", other heaphones do the same, so it's obviously the phone.I mean, is it really possible that some kind of problem occurred while trying to vibrate and play sound at the same time? Well it was for me, the phone was fine until then.Sorry for the boringly long post haha

  • Audigy 2 ZS Digital out not work

    Can someone tell me what "The Digital out from the soundcard is of electrical type and not optical type so you can't use optical cable with the Digital output jack directly" (taken from another post) means. Trying to get the Digital?output acti've on my card but no sound comes out not even the tell tail red light from the cable. If i'm missing something someone please tell me. Whats the defference between "electricial and not optical type" mean. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    There are two types of transfering methods for digital signal - optical (fiber) and coaxial (wire).
    If your card is plain A2Zs (no external Dri've or Digital I/O then, you're trying to get signal passed to external device through fiber cable (optical) when your connection type in Audigy is through wire (coaxial).
    You need to use normal cable as like [mini jack plug] --> [RCA] (if you use std stereo mini jack plug to 2 x RCA cable, the tip is the hot in plug --> white RCA (I quess).
    If your receiver does not have coaxial input for ext. sources then you need to get the Digital I/O from Creative or some othr coaxial to optical converter.

  • Is anyone having problems with FB app not opening and calendar appts disappearing after update

    Since I did the most recent update yesterday, the FBI app won't open.  Also, all my reminders have disappeared.  All still work on iPhone, just not on pad.
    Thanks in advance!

    My problems with the Healt App are all over the map. The information on Withings Health Mate is totally accurate, and updates immediately.  I have their scale (since 2011) and wireless blood pressure monitor. Also, I find the heart rate senson on the iPhone 6 to work well, every time.
    This issue for me is with Apple's Health app. I get ridiculous readings on the Dashboards. For example, it shows my daily average in steps as 170,688, and miles walked at 80. Hardly! Additionally, the Dashbord widgets will disappear/reappear for no reason. I have tried switching the priority of data sources for the steps dashboard between Withings and my iPhone 6 (because it is indicated that the top source governs the dashboard info), to no avail.
    Lastly, I don't know how to interpret the infomration on the individual dashboards. On the same line as the word "Steps" there is a number, i.e. 14,272 steps, and just under it the word "Today." However, when I switch from "Day," "Week,," "Month," and "Year," those number don't change. Below the word Today is a number (which changes all the time), and at the bottom of the widget, just above the month (October now) is the number 1,149,749. Nice.
    I would like to get the Apple Watch next year, but if the Health App cannot be fixed I may not.
