Audigy 4 Help S

Hi there i'v been trying to read up on the Audigy 4 Non-PRo OEm it comes without the remote.
It is cheaper than the Audigy 2 zs
What is the main difference between the 4 and 2 series? Will it do hardware EAX in BF2?
Is this just a rebadge Audigy value 2?
There aren't many reviews on the NON-PRO version so i'm tryign to figure it out
is it as good the 2zs?

It is in between the Value2 and the 2zs.
The PCB is the same of the value2, but the chip has the DTS-decoder and slightly better DACs, the 2zs is totally different in design but not that much in quality (its better but not a huge jump) it has a higher price because it comes with front panel, firewire port and other things
The three cards have EAX4

Audigy help please!!! Computer keeps crashin

I am running an AMD x2 4400+, Fatalty mobo, gig ram, ATI all in wonder X800XL video card and an audigy card... I was trying to record video/audio with my ATI card and it kept blue screening on me and would reboot my computer.. Also I have noticed that sometimes my soundcard will give up and when I am watching TV on the computer the sound will turn to fuzz.. After the last forced reboot, I did the microsoft error reporting and found this out,

After doing a check of my software, Creative says that I have the most up to date software.. So what gives?!?!? I cannot find anything about this sound card driver on creatives website... I did notice that both the video card and sound card have an IRQ of 8.. Does that matter?

yes it matters alot. video and sound card are big consumer of bandwidth....so it's best not to have them sharing same irq......try changing the soundcard to other slot.Message Edited by BadBoy on -28-2005 04:34 PM

Please Help:(,Unable to capture from camcorder using Audigy 2 ZS Video Edi

Hi there! Well I have been trying to use the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 zs video editor to transfer Hi8 tapes from my camcorder (Samsung SLC860) to my laptop (Compaq presario, AMD Athlon 64 3200+, .25 GB RAM, xp). I have successfully done this before *sort of*. Before i was able to capture video from my camcorder without the sound. But now I cant even capture video! I get an error when using Ulead VideoStudio 8 SE reading: 5065:29:0. Please help, anything would be great! Thank you! Oh, i've tried reinstalling the drivers already, didnt work. P.S. I connect the camcorder to the Creative Audigy using S-Video. I have also tried A/V out from the camcorder to video-in on the Audigy. I have also downloaded VidCap and other driver updates from Creative but those didn't work either. I've tried VidCap other capture programs, none worked. Any help would be great. Thank you!

Hi there! Thanks for the reply, unfortunately, I've tried VidCap and it wont let me capture either. The Start button on Step 3 isn't acti've. Its not bold, and when i click on it nothing happens. But under device manager and Sound, Video and game controllers, there are alot of things. They are as followed: Audio Codecs, Legacy Audio Drivers, Legacy Video Capture Drivers, Media Control Devices, Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor Audio Device, Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor Video Device, SoundMAX Intergrated Digital Audio, Video Codecs. Do you think any of these could be interfering with one another? If so, which ones can be safely disabled? I've also tried downloading all the necessary updates for VidCap and I've even tried reinstalling the Audigy card many times. I am able to see the preview of the video on both programs VidCap and VideoStudio but I just can't capture. Once again, the error message on VideoStudio is: 5065:29:0. Thank you so much, hopefully I hear from ya soon and this can be fixed.

Creative Audigy Platinum Installation Help with Pentium 4 3.2GHz HT Enab

:mansad:
Dear Fellows,I have recently upgraded to a new Pentium 4 machine. The config is as follows:Pentium 4 3.2eGHz MB cache HT (Hyper-Threading Enabled)Intel Original 865GBF MainboardGB Kingston DDR 400MHz RAM20GB SATA WD HDDSound Blaster Audigy PlatinumATI RADEON 8500 DV 64MBThe problem I am facing is with Audigy Platinum. Once I install the operating system (Win XP) and move to the installation of Creative Audigy Platinum Sound card. All the applications are installed and the system hangs while updating *drivers*. I restarted but it corrupts the whole operating system conflicting with Display Driver, Mainboard driver as well as Windows. CD/DVD Rom also disappear. I then reinstalled operating system again. I would like to request for help and solving this issue and I dont want to get rid of Creative Audigy. I have heard complaints with Hyper-threading technology but I disabled it and the same problem occured. I tried everything e.g. latest drivers from Creative website, BIOS updates, Driver updates etc etc. The problem starts once the drivers are to be updated for Creative Audigy Platinum.Anticipating your response soon.Regards,

Hi Jeremy,
I would like to thank you for your kind assistance with my problem.
Heres the good news, I finally managed to install and run my Creative Audigy Platinum perfectly.
Credit goes to your assitance and support.
For your info, I would like you to know what I really did.
I have an Intel Genuine 865GBF mainboard. I installed clean copy of Windows XP (SP) and downloaded and installed latest Chipset INF utility from Intel website. I guess this utility tells the mainboard what kind of hardware is configured on the board.
Please note that I did not add any PCI card except the AGP graphics card.
After finishing Windows XP, I installed the Creative Audigy Card in a different PCI slot. When windows started, it detected the sound card installed.
I simply ran the driver and programs from the Creative CD and it installed perfectly. I then updated the drivers downloaded from the Sound Blaster site in correct order.
After finishing with Creative Audigy Platinum installation. I installed other hardware devices, service packs, AV and applications.
Its the third day and everything is running well.
I just wrote the steps if someone else faces the same problem, he/she can sort it out the same way.
Thanks again for your help.
Best regards,

Just disable the gameport on "Device Manager" to see if it's the culprit.
Have you also played with mouse settings (acceleration and saple rate)?

I can get itunes to start if I disable Bonjour or if I "repair" it first. Sometimes I can repair Bonjour though add/remove programs, sometimes it will only "repair" using WinRar. Sometimes I have to "repair" Bonjour 2 or 3 times to get iTunes to start.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling at least a dozen times. I have tried redownloading iTunes at least 5 times and from different links. This leads me to believe that the dnssd.dll file is not itself corrupt, but this newest version is causing a conflict with XP somewhere somehow.
Team, iTunes 10.2.2.12 has just been released. I installed it and checked, and BonJour's been updated to version 2.0.5.0, and there's a new 2.0.5.0 version of dnssd.dll on my system. So I reckon it's worth a try updating to that to see if it's of any help with your trouble.

Everything seems to be OK so it's propably the drivers for your modem that is causing the issue. Just try if updating them helps anything.
Also, you can turn the MPU-40 (onboard MIDI/Game port) if you dont need it.

Help - Need Line in and Aux inputs active at the same time..... Audigy SE

The company I work for purchased 3,000 of the Audigy SE? SB0570 sound cards to replace our aging original SB6 PCI cards used in our call centers. The application and Hardware require that the AUX connector and the Line in connector are both acti've at the same time in order for things to work properly.
Problem is that when I go into the mixer settings (or windows volume controls) when I select one of the inputs to go acti've, it mutes the other two inputs (mic, line-in, or AUX). Does anyone know of a work around to let me activate the AUX and/or Line-in/Mic at the same time??
Our workstations run Windows 2000? (but as a test, I?loaded up another PC with XP SP2 and it exibits the same problems)
Thanks in advance for your help.

We are using the internal AUX in connector to take audio from a vendors custom card, and at the same time we have to take audio in on the flexi-jack input on the rear of the card. The original SB PCI cards we have been using for 5 years allowed us to do this, but these new ones do not. I wrote an e-mail to Creative Tech support and here is their response: Basically it is a no go, so I am now looking at other manufactures that can support our requirements. Good news is that I contacted our supplier today and they are willing to take back all of the cards that are still sealed in their original packaging... about 2,800 of them.
Dear Harry
Thank you for reaching us at Creative Email Technical Support; we appreciate the opportunity to assist you.
Based on your description, I understand that you are unable to use AUX IN and Line In/Mic In simultaneously.
I would like to apologize for any inconvenience and seek your understanding, and are certainly thankful that you have taken precious time to bring this matter to our attention.
Please allow me to assist you with regard to this issue.
For your information, you are only able to use one of the option at a time.

I hope the above mentioned solutions will be able to resolve your issue.

HELP: Updating to new Beta OpenAL Audigy 2 ZS drivers has permanently screwed my PC

WHY I AM IN THIS MESS:
Here is something silly I did: I tried to use the latest Beta drivers for my Audigy 2 ZS. I followed the Creative procedure, and as expected, I lost the functionality of the EAX console etc. I couldn't see any increase at all in any games (framerate was the same) so I immediately used System Restore to go back to my previous driver set.
Guess what? EAX and the other apps wouldn't work there either! SO basically, it had ruined my entire creative installation, even though I did exactly what they said and took precautions (system retore) to make sure everything was okay.
So, of course, I think 'I'll make sure I put this right, I'll use the Creative 'CleanSweep' procedures to remove and then reinstall my drivers'.
I did this, and guess what now? It wouldn't let me install the Driver CD apps, as the 'cleansweep' has left dozens of bits of junk littering my hard disk and registry. Eventually, after much much work I finally get the apps to install. Everything appears hunky-dory...
Guess what? It isn't. I now get a 'pop/click' sound at the end of sound effects in games. Not all sounds, but enough to make them unplayable. For example in Unreal 2004, I fire the assault rifle and there is a click at the end, in IL2 I fire the guns and every round has a crackle at the end. In any game that plays speech (like NASCAR, Indycar, IL2, Combat Flight Sim 3) there is a click.static at the end of the speech sample. Also, when games load and the soundcard is accessed for the first time there is a burst of static or clicking, also when games close down - not all games however. The problems do not ocurr in Counterstrike Source, unless I play for about an hour and then when a lot of sound effects are playing it gets all crackly and static-filled. None of these effects existed in any of these games before. There are no sound problems with MP3s, video, midi etc (although there is sometimes a click at the end of playing an MP3 - this was also not there before).
This is NOT an EAX problem, as in Unreal 2004 even in 'safe' sound mode (and every other setting) the noise is still there. Same in IL2, all settings same noise.
Needless to say, I am highly annoyed, especially as EXACTLY THE SAME THING happened on my old computer with an Audigy over two years ago after a driver update. In that case, I had used system restore and everything had been okay.
MY CURRENT SITUATION:
I have just removed everything Creative from my computer, including all registry keys, all Temp references, everything, have followed all the advice given about conflicts etc. I have used the latest Driver Cleaner to get rid of the hidden files creative leaves in your windows system folder. As far as the PC is concerned, there has never been a soundblaster card in this computer. I have reinstalled the original drivers from the retail CD - JUST the drivers.....and it's still there. I still have exactly the same pop/crackle after sound effects. Let me just stress that the system hardware and applications have not been altered - this only started ocurring after installing the Beta drivers.
How can this be happening after I have done a completely clean install, and everything else is as it was when the PC was working fine?
I have even gone to the extent of removing my old PCI modem in case of any conflicts, but it's just the same.
If anyone has had this problem (remember this is not a constant hiss/crackle/pop it is only after sound effects and accessing the card for the first time in apps) and has managed to fix it, please let me know. I'm sure a lot of other people have had this nightmare too - I mean I've had it myself on my old PC!
P.S. HELP ME.

Hi, Franky,
I had the same problems with my Audigy 2 ZS and beta driver, brother. I tried everthing- defragmentation, system restore, clean WIN XP- installation- nothing could resolve clicking and framerate drops in games. Then I remembered a MICROSOFT- article about increasing your sound performance. Go to hardware manager and check, whether DMA is selected for your hard dri've. I use a mobile rack for my hard dri'ves and those were incorrectly recognised by my BIOS. Simply activated DMA- by BIOS for the hard dri've- voila, no more sound stuttering !
I guess you suffer from BIOS or data transfer problem. I hope that this hint was helpful !
Drop me a line, if this resolves your problem !
Good night !

I am having the following problems.
. I can only get output from 2 speakers front left and front right.2. I cannot get my microphone to work at all. Its plugin to the proper port. It worked with the old sound card. It works on other pc's I have at my residence. So its not the microphone. I checked all the connections and they are correct. I have been to the knowledge base with no luck. I have been through the forums searching and the majority of the forum responses are users helping users with very little input from Creative labs. (disappointed)I have installed/un-installed/re-installed without any luck, the software that came on the cd. I have also retrieved the last software downloads from your web site without any luck.So either I am missing something here, or I got a defecti've sound card.

I assume its an analog connection Creative Insprire P5800 as I don't have anything like a EAX control module that goes in between. Also I have no sound at all til I go to the speaker setting control panel andde-select digital output only.
I have 3 wire connection Green Line out (front) Black line out 2 (rear) and Orange line out 3 (center subwoofer) These connect from the back of the sound card directly into the subwoofer. Green (front) black (rear) orange (center subwoofer)
My old sound card RealTek`AC97 worked fine and I had sound in all my speakers. Yes I have removed the old card and un-installed the old drivers for it. Also the mircophone worked with the old sound card so I know thats not an issue. > Sorry for any inconvenience caused. > We'll need this information so that we can provide you with the correct remedy.

Thanks,

Support have to go over some things first to make sure you've tried them. If it hasn't helped, just mail them back and let them know. It sounds like like you have the settings correct (CMSS, 5. in speaker selection), so there must be something wrong in the installation or configuration of the software.
The CleanBoot troubleshooting page on Microsoft's Kbase might help, although, it sounds like you covered a clean install aswell so that would normally help.

Audigy 4 Pro + Windows 7 Please Help

Hi
First let me ensure you that i tried everything else before annoying you guys with my problem. an estimated 0 times of trying to get audigy 4 pro to work on win 7 with the original drivers and now i tried Daniel K.s Drivers. I appreciate what he has done to help so many with theyr driver issues, but sadly the driver isnt getting me far. first the informations about my system.
Win 7 (64)
Audigy 4 Pro
7. Inspire T7700 Speakers
Phenom II Quad 940
Radeon HD5850 BE
4. GB Ram
Just realized an interesting fact. when my speakers are the standard device for Playing? sounds and not the SPDIF-OUT from creative wmp and vlc work with 7/7 speakers playing sound while the bsplayer only plays 2/7, but when the SPDIF is the standard and the speakers are the communication device(seems wierd) the bsplayer works(7/7) but the wmp and vlc only play sound from 2/7 . AND whats really hard for me, All games are only playing from 2/7? :mansad: its not fun to play Bad company 2 with sound only coming from 2 of 7 speakers (settings are all in order to support 3d sound so its not the game, checked that with several FAQs etc.)
I would greatly appreciate any help to this problem, i wouldnt like to plug everything out and deinstall the drivers and loose my nice remote control and external receiver box since i just installed everything.
Thanks to everyone who decices to help me in this matter.
PS: In the windows sound setting test all speakers work perfectly, even with the normal drivers that mess everything else up for me.
"Updated" tested newest drivers from Daniel K. no changes

stacman70 :?Maybe try going into : Control Panel>Sound?See if you can locate "input 3" there, first check in the "Recording" tab. Set Default if you find it.

Help getting my headset/mic to work with my Audigy 2 ZS I/O

Hi,
I have an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro with the external I/O dri've. I am trying to plug my headset/mic into my external I/O dri've, however I can't get the microphone to work. I have used the headset/mic with my other computer without any problems, so I know it is working. There has got to be a problem with the I/O connections or the way I have set up the Audigy 2 ZS.
Here are the connections I have made:
Headset speaker cord: Plugged into the external I/O hub headset port --- Works great.
Mic speaker cord: Plugged into the external I/O hub Line /Mic In port --- Doesn't work.
I have tried talking to a friend using Skype as well as using the Windows XP Sound Test Wizard, neither once picks up my voice from the mic.
Thanks for the help, I am at my wits end with this thing.

I'm trying to use this Audigy 2 ZS as a mixerless frontend to record with Cakewalk
Sonar. In Cakewalk I can only see one pair of inputs available. Can I use both the
input on the PCI card and the Aux 2 or the Mic input on the breakout box at the same
time? How do I get all the inputs recognized? I thought using the ASIO driver would
help but it makes me switch the audio rate to 48K instead of 44.. Does the ASIO driver
only work at 48k? What are the correct drivers to use for recording into Sonar?
Thanks,
JD
Audigy 2 Zs do have another ASIO driver for 24-bit/96 kHz. You need to set it acti've through Sonar Options..Audio..Drivers tab (when ASIO is selected as device). Unselect all I/O drivers there and then select those 24/96 I/Os. NOTE: 24/96 mode is for line sources only so, no Mic input w/ this driver w/o external mic pre-amp through line input.
Audigy cards gives best quality w/ 96 kHz so, it's best if you use it in your projects ... you can then, after final mixdown (to 24/96 WAV file), use software like Voxengo r8brain for SRC (96 kHz ->44. kHz) and dithering (24-bit->6-bit) w/ lowest quality loss (SRC and dithering made w/ Sonar don't give as good results).
W/ ASIO 24/96, or any other than ASIO 6/48 driver, you can record from one source at once only. W/ ASIO 6/48 you should be able to record from all separately listed sources simultaenously and w/ kX drivers maybe from couple sources more.

HELP! Hey, (Yeah YOU!) I need some HELP with an OEM Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro SB0360 installat

Hi Everyone.
I'm new here so I'll try to be kind and make lots of helpful friends, especially folks at CL.
Do you like a challenge?
Try this on for size.
My problem.
I'm working on a PC for a doctor friend. It's a Gateway P4 dual 3.0 gHz "Media Center" unit.
He let the antivirus proggie lapse and it was full of spybots, trojans and some missing stuff his kids (he says) had done (little kids like to click on stuff and he has 4 kids under 6 years old...).
Anyway, I needed to re-install the whole system back to the original state. GW2K docs seemed to make that a piece of cake.
Everything went well until the turkeys at GW2K threw me a curve - their CD re-install system just stinks. The CDs don't seem to AUTOSTART very well, the OS looks different than original (fo example - just plain ole XP Home instead of the neat-looking "Media Center" branding on the startup splash page), and then I got to a real problem.
The SB0360 Audigy 2 ZS (Platinum Pro, I think) driver from GW2K installed OK, but the associated apps CD keeps spitting back that it doesn't find a "Sound Blaster" card.
The Device Manager says its a Creative SB Audigy 2 ZS.
I've tried to use updates from CL but they also spit at me - "No Sound Blaster found, Exiting".
It seems that the Plug and Play only likes the GW2K driver, but the Apps CD don't like the "Creative" part, and so it balks. The CL drivers give the same message.
GW2K tells me to contact Creative Labs or (haaaa) SAM'S, the purchasing store.
Talk about the royal runaround...
Anyway, anyone got any good ideas?
I can't seem to find anything on the net to help.
I'm about Google-ed out.
Thanks in advance!
P.S.
I do have sound, Music CDs play fine and Windows sounds work OK.
I just need to install those Audigy Apps from the GW2K CD...
