Audigy 4 pro/"non pro" driver confus

do audigy 4 and audigy 4 pro drivers differ? the newest pro is only beta and a few months older than the "non pro". also, despite having bought a 4 pro, it never says so, neither in the system or when using autoupdate (installed products: Sound Blaster Audigy 4, DR release 2.5.0), auto update does not tell me to download the non pro driver though. I'd be glad if someone could tell me which driver to use

You find the latest drivers (fits for X-FI & Audigy 2 & 4 serie) from station-drivers.
These drivers are even WHQL (eg. passed MS quality test).

Audigy 4 (non-Pro) driv

Hi,
Quick question, really. I have tried searching, but I can't seem to find the answer (one way, or another) that I am looking for.
I am running Windows XP, and I have a Creative Audigy 4 (non-pro) sound card. I am using the January 2006 drivers, which Creative have listed on their web site.
But I was really just wondering if there were any other drivers for this card that I am unware of and that I could try?
I am thinking of more recent beta drivers, popular modded drivers, or other Audigy (, 2, etc) drivers that people have used with their Audigy 4.
If not, have Creative publically stated that they plan to release a new driver set for the Audigy 4?
Appreciate any help on this one,
Jon

I think you should try some modded driver. It will provide better sound. Try these following links and find out which driver will give your favorite sound. But remember to back up your system (system restore is a good choice before doing so)

Audigy 4 non-pro, multimedia probl

Hi there,
Got the Audigy 4 non-pro card, and I'm sticking with it for a long time... but it does have a few problems, I was hoping some of you may have the same problems and could help me. The first one may not be a problem with the card itself.
The thing is, I have a certain DVD-title that has Linear PCM Stereo and DTS-Digital 5. Surround soundtracks. The stereo works fine (let's say in Windows Media Player), but when I switch to DTS (hoping for a surround experience), there is no sound! I am able to have surround sound with most DVDs, although it's usually Dolby Surround. Do I need special software to play DTS soundtracks? I know that PowerDVD (or whatever its' name) has to be upgraded for DTS, but the Windows Media PLayer does have a DTS logo thing, when I play it, but there is no sound!
The other problem seems to be more serious.
When I work with MIDI, or play MIDI files, there's a strange lock-up of the system, although on an irregular basis. Sometimes, suddenly, instantaneously, everything stops, and there is a sustained and quiet MIDI sounds, as though the last notes are held, and the system is in a state of complete lock-up. Does anyone have a problem with taht? Or a solution, even better!
Cheers.

What happened to the Audigy 4 (non-pro) drivers on the websi

I swore a week or so there were seperate drivers for the new Audigy 4 (non-pro) on Creative's site. Now only the Audigy 4 Pro is shown under the download options. What happened? I was going to just use the online drivers with the audio console for an easy install and to ensure I have the lastest drivers.

Try download them MANUALLY. They're 5.2..6-2.08.00.000.

Enquiry about audigy 4 [NON-PRO] & audigy 2

Hi, I would like to make an enquiry about a few creative products.
I am currently intrested in getting a T7900 speaker system.
However i have doubts on the soundcard that i should get.
Could anyone identify the difference with a Audigy 4 [NON-Pro] and a Audigy 2 ZS.
I couldn't find any through comparison on these 2 products in the whole creative website.
And also, is the T7900 7. speaker system compatible with either of the 2 audigy sound cards.
Which card would you recommand me to go for too.
Thanks in advance. =)Message Edited by kutysam on 02-8-200603:48 AM

Well im feeling lazy ATM so I have no technical data to pass on. I would say thought the differents are :
: Price,, hmm get which is cheaper
2: The Audigy 4 would have ( at a guess anyway?)?more settings/tools and banks for media creation and the like.
Other than that, not a great deal between them. As far as games go, they both do the very same thing and with DVD movies they would produce the same rates as with music.
Id say, get the ZS if your into games and DVDs+music, or get the A 4 for the same reasons + Media creation/mixing and stuff like that.
Like I said, to lazy to research it further but close enough

Audigy 4 (non-pro) he

I just recieved my audigy 4 *no pro* driver by mail. It does not work because I need a driver, and I can't install the cd because it says I need windows XP to use the Disc. All I want to do is play multiple streams of music from this. I have old drivers and I was wondering if I can get around this in any way shape or form?

Audigy 4 (Non Pro) and center channel surround sound - from 2 channel aud

Hi all,?Is there a way to have voice coming from the center speaker during TV programs like you could using an external receiver with Pro Logic? I can't for the life of me, get my Audigy 4 to do this. I run MCE 2005 on a couple of machines in the house. On my other machine, with built in audio, I let the Purevideo decoder handle this and I get? a nice surround, complete with center channel voice on it while watching TV. On the machine with the Audigy 4, not only will it not give me the center channel while watching TV, but I can't get it to stop processing the sound so that I can simply use the decoding of the Purevideo Decoder... Stumped!?Thanks,?Stu

Audigy 4 (non-pro) missing sou

Hi I just got an Audgy 4 card for xmas and it seems like a nice card. I'm having problems with certain games though.
A couple of examples, World of Warcraft the music does not play and some sounds are missing... Prince of Persia 3 has sound but not in the cut sequences. Other games experience missing audio in places too.
I noticed if I turn acceleration from full to standard all sound works fine, but then EAX does not work. But one of the main reasons I wanted this card was for the EAX support.
I have the latest drivers/direct x/win xp sp2 and I'm using desktop stereo speakers at the moment. Anybody have any ideas?

Audigy 4 non-pro or Audigy 2

Hi! I need advice as to which card I should buy. Currently using Realtek on-board sound. I already read the thread about the differences of these 2 cards but I am still having second thoughts. As of now I am in favor of buying the Audigy 4 due to its lower price. I am only using headphones so I don't think I would benefit from the extra features of the audigy 2 ZS like the THX console and most probably I would use the sound card for mp3 playback, DVD's and gaming. Is the extra 2dB of the Audigy 2 ZS really worth it's I am also considering the x-fi extrememusic but it is quite expensi've in my country, almost twice as much as the price of the Audigy 4.

I think you should try some modded driver. It will provide better sound. Try these following links and find out which driver will give your favorite sound. But remember to back up your system (system restore is a good choice before doing so)

Installing Acrobat XI Pro Subscription on non C: drive

Trying to install Acrobat XI Pro on D: drive, but no option to redirect the install when downloading. Anyone find an option.

Jeff,
Thanks ... but I was just using the download function after purchasing the subscription. Once running the .exe file it would begin the install directing it to the C: drive. After some thought I tried a different approach which worked ... I downloaded the trial version of Acrobat XI Pro and found that it allows you to direct the install to a specific drive and folder. After going through this process I just activitated the subscription. A round about way to solve the problem, but it worked.

Conflict between Audigy 2 ZS Pro and four Wifi PCI Ca

Hello,
I apologize for my wrong English.
I am an happy user of Audigy 2 ZS Pro.
I tried to install a WiFi PCI Card and the PC freeze just after the launch of Windows XP SP2.
I tried with four cards with respect of installation procedures :
- D-Link DWL-G520
- OvisLink Evo-W54PCI
- SMC-Networks SMCWPCI-GM
- Netgear WPN3
and none of them works.
There is a conflict with memory resources allocation : D7DF8000-D7DFFFFF for Wifi Card and the same for Firewire port of Audigy.
It is impossible (for me) to desactivate Firewire port on Audigy or changing memory allocation.

I'm quite sure it's an incompatibility between the SLi and the audigy 2 card whether that's a driver conflict or hardware conflict I have yet to determine, since it's behavior is very random if I play games with sound disabled it works fine if I leave internet explorer open though when the page refresh click sound is played while I have a game running it will cause the comp to freeze and reboot. I did not have the realtec(k) ? drivers installed before I removed the audigy 2 card I also had the realtec onboard sound disabled in the BIOS as for speed settings I have no clue what you are talking about I pretty much leave teh bios settings default except for the disabling of the unused onboard devices.Message Edited by psaux on 03-28-20060:2 AM

Audigy Gamer + XP Pro + Via Chip

Howdy,
I originally installed my Audigy Gamer when I had Win98SE loaded on this PC. When I upgraded to XP Pro I had alot of problems. I wrote Tech Support, and they answered, saying the system had another sound device somewhere, that's what was causing the problem. There were no other sound devices, and I finally got the card to operate enough to play sounds. None of the CL software would work, the sound was crackly, but it was good enough to race with.
(a year later)
Lastnight I decided to give it a go at trying to get it installed correctly. What a huge mistake. The updated driver file completely slammed my PC. The CD-Roms were corrupted, along with a system file for PnP. I uninstalled everything, ran the ZAPP file from the CD, then reinstalled the card. XP saw it upon bootup, loaded the drivers, then asked for a reboot. I got the dreaded "No Sound Card Found" message.
Here's the freaky part. I can go into Device Manager and it shows the Audigy card. Properties says it's "Operating Properly". "There are no conflicts". But in Control Panel, under Sound, it says "No Audio Device Present". If I go to the "hardware" tab,.. it'll show the Audigy card. (??)
DirectX also doesn't list the card. I have read a few forums,.. and most of the people say that it's a combination of the Audigy card, XP Pro, and the Via Chipset on my MSI motherboard.
Is there a work around?
Can I get this thing loaded and operating properly?
I've wasted enough time fiddling with it already. More info: I built the PC, am fairly PC intelligent,.. am doing everything right as far as I can tell. I can't run any of the software updates from the site evn though the drivers are already installed because the install process stops when it can't find a creative audio device.
Any help would be appreciated. This card wasn't cheap,.. and I'd hate to toss it in the dumpster and swear off Creative products,.. I'd rather get it installed and stop whining.
Thanks.
Tim Casey

For anybody else having this same problem, continue reading the posts, or:
Go to Device Manager, look in System,.. is Plug and Play Software Enumerator" there?
If not,... (XP)
Search for "machine.inf", copy it to a Temp folder somewhere. Open it up and delete line 20 "ExcludeFromSelect". Save file to the new Temp folder. Search for "swenum.sys", copy it to the same Temp folder.
Then go to Control Panel, Add New Hardware,.. Have Disk,.. Browse to the Temp folder,.. "OK",.. then "System",... scroll down and highlight "Plug and Play Software Enumerator".

Should I buy the old MacBook Pro(non-Retina)

I want to buy a new MacBook but very confused with which model to buy. I was very keen on MacBook Pro (non-retina) because of it good specs and the flexibility it provides for hardware upgrades.
But with the launch of new MacBook Pro Retina models, I have been hearing news (rumours) that the old MacBook Pro (non-retina) will be phased out.
Please advise me if it is still a good idea to purchase the old MacBook Pro (non-retina) model ? I am just afraid that Apple might stop supporting the product in future.

I bought my MacbookPro 15.4'' (mid 2012) in the beginning of October and have been fully satisfied, even if it's not Retina. It has IntelCore i7 2.3 Ghz, 1600 Mhz DDR 3 and this alone let draw a conclusion that this is indeed powerfull and efficient machine one could ever wish to own and at the same time to pose a question: what else could one desire? It's definitely OK for the next 5 years and as much as I can determine to derive from it for my needs (by the way I'm convinced it would even meet the requirements of professionals such as IT specialists and the like) this Mac will give me much to benefit from its specs. Mine came with Lion 10.7.4, upgraded then to Mavericks and voila - its performance didn't dissapoint me either. You should concern more where to buy to purchase high-quality product, of course brand new (not used/overused, damaged both internally and externally). The best choise is to buy it from an authorized reseller, a local Apple Store etc. Believe me, an "old" Mac (is mine old??) - speaking of the span of -2,3,4 years prior to this year is a very relative notion: it is TO SOME EXTENT if you compare to the newest models, BUT it isn't so "old" (whan saying the word our psychology distorts this making it sound like "total garbage" which IS ABSOLUTELY INCORRECT) comparing to the whole Microsoft-based stuff, even pretending to smooth quality (Windows 8 2-in-1 "tablets"). My advice - buy a 2012 model and you won't lose.

Well i am going to get a macbook pro non-retina should i get 4gb or 8gb i asked because i have lots of files and i play and record games what gb should i do?

i have to get a new computer i want to get a macbook pro non retina but i use my computer alot with school i have lots of files and picture but what should i get 4gb or 8gb

You need storage space for your files. You need RAM in order to run programs. They are not the same.
1. Get 8 GBs of RAM.
2. Get a large hard drive or SSD to store your files. The bigger, the better.

Macbook Pro Non-Retina OS

I'm currently planning on getting the macbook pro non retina but I have a question. Does it come with the latest Mac OS (yosemite)? If so, doest it work smoothly like on any other macbook? Answers appreciated

If you get the MacBook Pro from Apple, it will come with the latest OS X version available, in this case, OS X Yosemite. Note that the non-Retina MacBook Pro is much older than the Retina MacBook Pro (the latest non-Retina MacBook Pro was released in 2012), but it should work properly: moreover, you can add more RAM or change the hard drive if you want to.
