Aux 2 Soundblaster Audigy platinum probl

Hi there.
I used to have problems with using aux 2 (red/white on the front panel of audigy platinum) , bascially
because the volume control in windows didnt have aux 2 volume control under advanced. After contacting support and updating my drivers I think with the webupdate on creative.com aux 2 was listed in the advanced volume control thingy, so I could check the box and untick the mute setting.
But after some formatting and new installation of my soundcard I cant find a way to get the aux 2 volume control back. Its just not listed and I am not able to hear sound through my speakers. I tried all updates that are downloadable from creative.com ; also the autoupdate software of creative. No luck at all.
Can someone please help me to get my aux 2 volume control back ?Greetz

hi. i have the same problem. i spent on that 2 days. its boring, i havo to do some job, but now i cant.. if you get some info, send it also to me, please!! i do so..
thanks, ciao

Soundblaster audigy platinum jack panel compatibility with audigy 2 or audigy 2

Can I use a Soundblaster audigy platinum dri've (the front case jack panel) with an audigy 2 or audigy 2 zs sound card? Is it compatible? This is so I don't have to by a platinum version of the audigy 2 or audigy 2zs and spend the money on another dri've panel just to upgrade the sound card.

As both the Audigy and Audigy 2 lines report they are compatible with WinXP, is there any reason I wouldn't be able to use my Audigy Platinum system I bought in 200 with a suped up new Dell Dimention desktop system I just bought? I guess the question behind the question is, what's the difference between the Audigy and Audigy 2 besides just the parts not being compatible with each other and the true bit thing fixed? Thanks!

Soundblaster Audigy Platinum EX + Xbox 360 = Surrou

Hi everyone, this is my first post on the forum, so don't shoot me if i ask something obvious. Also I am sorry for my bad English, please keep in mind that I'm not a nati've speaker.
So here comes my question:
This is the setup I am thinking about:
-Xbox 360 (playing a game with Dolby Digital 5. surround encoding.)
--Connection: digital optical audio cable (Toslink)
-Connected to: The optical input on the external module of my Soundblaster Audigy Platinum EX
<img height="37[/img] src="http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/7660/dri'vefrontor.jpg" width="500" alt="">
-This card is installed on a PC with an Athlon XP 3000+, 52mb ram, 60Gb harddisk,... A recent pc in other words, running Windows XP Media Center Edition.
-[url="http://www.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=4&subcategory=25&product=4090 &nav=0">Creative InspireT6060[/url] speakerset, connected to the sound card using the analog connectors:
<img border="0" height="73" src="http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/804/bracketpe9.jpg" width="505" alt="">
Will I be able to hear surround sound from the xbox game trough my analog speakers this way (When the PC is turned on offcourse.), or will i get (upmixed) stereo audio, or even worse: no sound at all?
I hope someone can answer this question,
Greets,
FORZA M

That's correct in your case (connecting to the expansion bay) the soundcard will decode the DolbyDigital and send it to the analog speakers.
For me it is veird that you want to us a whole PC to do that - energy consumption, heat, space occupied (you will need a separate monitor for PC and a big-screen TV for XBox 360).
Another solution would be an external decoder - like a digital receiver or Creative's DDTS-00: http://www.creative.com/products/pro...6&product=9468

Ultra lanparty d & soundblaster audigy 2 probl

hello, I show up, this it is my first post, I don't dominate English well so to forgive me.
Good because I have a fat problem with a soundblaster audigy 2 and a dfi lanparty ultra-d. It is that after installing the drivers of the sound card time and again up-to-date and to have the rest of up-to-date drivers follows me giving the same error time and again. The sound is listened bad, as distorted, sometimes quick and other times nr. I have proven in other badges with different chipset and it works perfectly. Is some type of incompatibility between the chipset and the sound card?
In the dfi forums they did recommend me to upgrade the drivers through of CD (li've update) but does the problem persist, can somebody help me? Thank you.

I can install my Audigy2 ZS drivers fine, but I still only get sound from 6 of my 7 speakers (T7700 speakers). I think my onboard audio is still being used, which is 6. capable, but I have already disabled it in my BIOS. I read that the Audigy2 and XP SP2 don't work together, is that true? If so, is there any workarond (other than reinstalling Windows XP with SP or less)?

No 5.1 audio in Soundblaster Audigy Platinum

Hi, i have downloaded the last drivers aviable for Windows Vista and i have configured the console to 5. audio, but the computer only sounds in stereo; no rear, no front no bass... i don't know what do i have to do so i can enjoy my card in vista.
I tried to configure it by the options that Windows provides but then the sound disappear.
Thx for any help you give me.

That a fresh install or old install of Vista .You should have stuck with cd drivers the new ones have problems . I have the x-fi Platinum i got for peanuts and I am using in 7. in Vista Ultimate 32 bit and it also worked in 64bit also . I would say remove the old drivers but that will not help even if you use a driver cleaner i have no idea what creative does but i had my system running great and installed the new drivers and had centre channel only with mono signals and i tryed everything and had to resort to reinstalling .

Soundblaster Audigy Platinum - no sound / PC loc

I'v got a very annoying problem:
When upgrading my GFs PC with a new Mainboard (Gigabyte, NForce2 based) and a new processor, the machine started to freeze after a few minutes of playing games. Used Games were Rome: Total War and Counter Strike:Source.
First I blamed Windows (which is usually not the worst thing) and cleanly reinstall XP Pro with Servicepack 2.
The Problem persisted.
I tried the old Mainboard, the old CPU, the old Ram Modules, another graphicscard, a different Harddisk and even a new Power Supply - of course in any possible combination.
(It took whole Eastern to do this, since I always made a fresh clean Windows installation each time I changed core components such as the Mainboard)
There was something strange: I accidently turned the switch of the powerline of, when Windows was about to restart after the Audigy Webupdate (Main Driver component of the Soundcard). SINCE THEN the Soundcard is SILENT !!!
The Driver recognizes it, the Mixer and the AUDIO HQ work, the Front Panel is also recognized.
I blamed Windows again and did once more a clean reinstallation - but the Soundcard stayd silent.
I removed the Card and SURPRISE - with the onBoard Soundchip (Some Realtek) enabled, the PC runs stable and I have sound (even if the Quality is not realy good).
My Questions to you all:
Has anybody ever had a problem like that ?
Has someone any idea how to find out if the card is damaged or not ?


Hey Ridenthatide,
?
I have the same problem as you. My system is MSI 865 PE motherboard and XP Pro SP3 with Audigy 2 ZS. I have reinstalled my system numerous times before and never had any problem, until this time....
?
- Format HD, install win XP, install SP3. Install Audigy 2 ZS driver and application from CD. Sound works.
- Install card's latest driver downloaded from Creative. NO SOUND!
- Device Manager shows everything ok. But control panel -> 'sound and audio devices property' has the device volume bar grayed out. Looks like system doesn?t recognize the card somehow.
- Install the latest application (organizer and other stuff), to no avail.
?
I tried to move the card to a different slot. After bootup, windows recognized new hardware installed, and started installing driver (I chose 'let windows auto search'). And sound came back. But if I re-install the latest driver again, the sound will go away.
?
I don't think moving card to a different PCI slot is an legitimate way of solving the problem, and problem still exists after the move. This has been really frustrating.

Soundblaster Audigy Platinum ex Not record

Hi all,
Have had soundcard on my system for over 2 months now but only now have a real need to use it but find it will only play and record from internal peripherals such as the cd rom or dvd rom or internet radio etc but can't input anything from outside from either the breakout box or a mic directly into the back of the soundcard. For that matter I can't hear anything through the h/phones when plugged to the breakout box either.
Have looked through old forum questions but can't see anyone having same problem can someone help?
I'm running the latest creative drivers from the website and still no luck. My pc is running win xp serv pack 2 on a amd athlon .9ghz with gig of ram.
All help appreciated.
Regards
Paul

Soundblaster Audigy Platinum EX still keeps defaulting to 2 speakers. Please he

Hi,
I am still having this problem where my soundcard keeps defaulting to 2 speakers. I have a 4. speaker setup, and set the soundcard to 4 speakers, which works fine for a short while, but then I find that the setting has changed back to 2 speakers. I am running windowsXP. I never had this issue under windows98, but found I had this exact same problem with my previous soundcard, the sbli've 024 player when using that under windows xp.
Is there anybody who can help, as this is now getting really frustrating.
Iain

hmm, seems to be a problem with many creative cards. This problem seems to only occur under windows XP, so obviously some kind of conflict somewhere. I thought once I had installed the latest drivers and service pack 2 the problem might go away, but how wrong I was Wish I could find out what actually happens to cause it to revert back to 2 speakers, but it seems to be completely random. I have got other users on this pc, and thought maybe it reverted when another user logged on with different settings, but I went into each users account and set each one (both in windows and the creative software) to 4 speakers, and it still reverted back too 2 speakers!!!. I even tried a completely fresh install of windows xp with little else installed, but still the same problem. I emailed creative about 6 weeks or more ago, but never got any answer.

Soundblaster 2zs platinum probl

Hi I recently reinstalled the soundcard and it had problems when I click creative volume control i get the error message "The audio device supported by this application is not detected. The application will exit." I have run diagnostics and everthing fails apart from hardware detection. I have tried everything from the FAQ and still the problem pesists. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you, Richard.

richie7,
Does Device Manager see the card as installed and working? If not, then I recommend removing the card, rebooting without it, and starting over with installing it. Make sure any onboard soundcard is disabled before reinstalling the SB card.

Windows 2000 and Soundblaster Audigy 2ZS probl

When I go to set up my Inspire T7700 7. speakers my highest choice in the control panel is 5. on the speakers? Is this a limitation of Windows 2000? I have the latest updates for 2000 on both the service packs and latest driver updates for the card. I was using this card in an XP system before and I did not have this problem. I was able to select 7. when using XP.

Why bother with Microsoft?
They didn't even add in 6. in Windows XP
Seriously, use Creative Speaker Settings.

Audigy Platinum Ex Line In Quest

I recently re-installed my Soundblaster Audigy Platinum Ex card on a new hard dri've - it's worked properly in the past. I have run the installation cd and gone to the Soundblaster website for all the latest drivers. On my external module I am unable to get audio to input through the line-ins to (Aux in 2, Mic/Aux 2, and 394). No monitor, no capture (though the headphone jack works properly, and the standard soundcard works properly). I've checked my connections. I'm very experienced with audio software and have been unable to figure this out.
The one thing that might fix this that I am unable to find - is there a control panel setting somewhere that verifys that input should be coming through the ex Module? Any advice would be greatly appreciated....

Hi there " bucktoothmummy". I just recieved this same problem today. Tryed to solve it via software updates and messing with IRQ stuff. None of that helped. I desperately tryed every line-in port there is and suddenly I heard loud static coming from the speakers.
What I found out was that the cable (the wide one) on the backpanel has been someway corrupted, and needed only a few twitches (pull it up and down). So the problem in my case was purely the low quality of the jack OR the cable. The ports them selves are just fine.
Email me if you wish to ask some more, hope this helps

SB Audigy Platinum EX keeps defaulting to 2 speak

Hi,
I have a soundblaster audigy platinum EX running under windows XP with a set of 4. speakers.
I set the speaker setup to 4 speakers in the creative software, and it works fine for a day or 2, and then I find it has defaulted back to 2 speakers. I had exactly the same problem with my previous SB Li've 024 player whilst running on windows XP, although it was perfect under windows98. I am using the latest drivers, but this has made no difference at all. I have heard of other poeple having this problem also, but I have never heard of a solution to it. This is now getting very frustrating, as I purchased the audigy to get around this problem, believing that the real problem was due to the sbli've 024 player not being fully supported under windowsXP, but now I realise that obviously wasnt the reason.
Any answers or suggestions would be really appreciated.
thank you

Search after software called ctpanel.exe from your hard dri've or if you have installed the latest drivers (02.08.00.0004) for your card, there should be a Console application called "Creative Audio Console" bundled w/ the driver installation (though, I don't know if you get it installed for your card).

Problems with Audigy Platinum and Firew

Hi,
I've been running my Soundblaster Audigy Platinum on my Win2k-System for some years and have just encountered some weird problems with the Firewire-Connector. When I connect an external DVD-Burner everything works fine. But when I connected an external harddisc for the first time recently, the system completely flipped and rebootet without any messages. When I connected the dri've via USB it wasn't recognized automatically (what it should have after the manual) but after installing the Drivers on the Disc. Afterwards also the Firewire-connect was possible, the dri've was recognized and appeared in the Explorer. So far so good.
But now, everytime I try to copy files larger than some Megabyte the dri've stops copying and I get an error message. Then the dri've disappears in the explorer. When I connect the dri've to my Laptop (XP Pro System) everything works fine. I already tried to google the problem and found some users with the same problem, unfortunately no answers to their posts. Is there someone who can help me (us)?
By the way, I already tried to re-install the drivers for the audigy...

hi kakarocht, tks for help me.
My mobo is new, i buy all the config recently.
i'm searching in the forum, and found this topic https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=85631.0
my HD SATA is the same of this, i will try to remove it, and then tell here for you.
sorry for my english again.

Audigy Platinum On Vi

Im trying to get an audigy one platinum working with windows vista. I got the vista drivers from the creative website and installed. No problem.
However i noticed the 'breakout box' in my dri'vebay wasnt working. So i checked device manager and I've got:
soundblaster audigy - pci bus 2 device function 0 - everything ok
unknown device - pci bus 2 device function - driver not installed
when i tell vista to search for the driver for the 'unknown device' i get the error 'creative game port - an error occured during the installation of this device. the driver installation file for this device is missing a neccesary entry. This maybe because the INF was written for windows 95 or later Contact your hardware vendor.
Anyone got any help on this or where I can find a suitable dri've / inf file for the dri'vebay i/o ports?
thanks

ok then i'll rephrase the question,
has anyone got the soundblaster audigy platinum dri'vebay i/o ports working in vista 32bit's..if so how did you do it, where did you get the driver from?

Which Soundblaster Audigy can decode 5.1 signal from extern over coaxial Input in realti

Sound Blaster Audigy as Dolby Digital Decoder
Hello,
I hope someone in here can help me. I search for a Sound Card which is able to decode Dolby Sourround from an extern digital input.
I have an encoded Dolby Sourround (5.) signal (coaxial) from e.g. DVD Player. Is the
Soundblaster Audigy Platinum EX or the
Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS oder the
Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS with Dri've Bay ZS or the
Soundblaster Blaster Audigy 4
able to decode the 5. Sound which came throug an digital coaxial Input in realtime?
I mean that I can get the decoded Sound in realtime decoded that I can use it to an acti've Surround set?
Thank you very much,
TobiasMessage Edited by Tobias085 on -03-2005 07:48 PM

Hi Tobias>> You can go for a Plain Audigy 2 ZS will be the cheapest way to do it, It will decode AC3 and DTS all you have to do is a very little addition to your card, it will take you 5 minutes to do it, follow this link and just use the info you need.

If you wanna have all the inputs/ouputs buy an Audigy 2ZS Platinum.
