Microphone problems with Audigy 2 ZS/win 7 x64

Hello.
I have very common problem with my soundcard audigy 2 ZS on windows 7 x64 with 8gb RAM. A week ago installed win 7 (was xp before) and noticed that my mic is not working. When I turn on microphone in output device i hear crystal clear sound from headphones, as input device it is not working properly. After reboot it don't work, no reaction on any changes. Usually after 5-20 mins I can hear signal from it (even when I'm not doing anything). Still sound quality is terrible, lots of noises and bugs. So I can't use it. After reboot mic not working again.
My microphone is fine, soundcard also worked on XP without problems (almost all A2ZS users have same problem). The latest drivers was installed on clean, fully updated Win 7 Ultimate. Tried danielK pack. Still no results, this is about 2 years old problem with drivers and I want to know any realistic way to solve it. All post on forum are outdated, or don't have any useful info.

Krookut,
Try these suggested steps when cleansweeping and reinstalling. They may help make the reinstall more successful:

Audigy 2 ZS Platinum microphone problem with Sk

I am having difficulty getting my headset to work with SKYPE when I plug it into the platinum front panel (mic2). I can hear myself through my headset or speakers, I've even managed to record a message that can be played back using wavestudio (after?tinkering), but I cannot get the thing to work with skype. I have upgraded from a Soundblaster Li've! card, something that had no problems with SKYPE. Since upgrading, my friends think I've become a mute. I've checked every setting I can think of without success. Does anyone have any ideas on anything I might have overlooked??

I've done as you asked but I still have problems. Skype works now but I'm still having difficulty, as I have discovered that the only way I can get the mic to work is to swap the REC column within surround mixer to MIC2. Then it works. I thought MIC2 was a shared socket that enables you to connect a second microphone, was I wrong?I also sound like a dalek that is trying to gargle with a glass of water, so there's still things to be done.
Also, any changes I make to surround mixer seem to revert back to the defaults after a period of time.So I have to keep making the same changes when I want to use skype.Can I set up my own defaults?

Is it an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro you have (with the external dri've)?
Did you check the mixer settings when you connected your mic? As long as the recording source is set up correctly you should be able to record from that input. Did you test that with a standard computer microphone aswell? You mentioned you have several mics.

Serious problems with Audigy 2

Several Threads here in the Discussion Forums and across the Internet reports that there are crackling/hissing/popping noises with their Audigy 2 and also the X-Fi Sound Cards.
I have the problem since that day they where available in the austrian or german stores, but at that time i thought it was a problem of the motherboard or the internal raid controller on my abit kx7 raid board. At that time i tried the first problem solvings like putting the card in the furthest slot from the agb, dismantle the whole computer and only tried to run with the audigy. I even reinstall a new Windwos Xp and always used the newest drivers and bios upgrades. But there was no solution for my problem. Soon after that i found the first postings across the internet reporting the same problem. Time after time more users came across and speculated about the possible solutions. Its really awesome, the people put much effort in helping each other. I TRIED EVERYTHING, really. I dont know how much time i invested to get rid off this annoying problem, and so other great guys do and as im writing this thread. But nothing works
Hey folks, come on, this cant be true. Not when there are so many people reports the same problem. They are all using different configurations but they all have the same problem: a hissing/crackling/popping sound. We all cannot say whats the real problem, we even can not say if its a problem with the soundcard.
Sure, no one can make a product without failures, but there are so many people reporting the same problem over a serious period of time, that there has to be a reaction from Creative.
I have to say i am very upset, i, or better many, feel to be left alone with a problem which we can't solve.
Please dont let us folks alone and help us to solve the problems we have. We have a right for it, as you have the right to get good money.....

Problem with Audigy 2 Platinum Front Panel Input

0Problem with Audigy 2 Platinum Front Panel Input? Hey everyone,
Here's the background of the issue. I got a PS3 over the holidays for literally free
I had my computer out in a testbed style. Plugged the PS3 into my monitor HDMI --> DVI cable, and Red/White into the front RCA jacks of the Front Panel (Aux 2). As soon as I plugged in the cable, I got sound out of my speakers and was able to enjoy my PS3 in 720p
I put all of the components back into the case after cutting exhause and intake fan holes. I brought everything back to school, fired up the PC and PS3. Lo and behold, there is no more sound from the PS3. I know that PS3s are temperamental in moving, but I hooked the audio up to my TV and the sound came out just fine. The AD Ext cable looks like it's secure and in place. When I hooked up a mic and headphones to the front, they worked fine as well. However it seems to be just the AUX 2 RCA inputs that dont work anymore. Any ideas about how to fix this issue? Is there a function I have to turn on now in the software to allow sound to pass through? Any information would be wonderful!? I'm going to try an optical cable in the near future, just need to borrow one from a friend =/

Problem Solved.
I had moved my cards around for better airflow. I moved the SB Audigy card from the bottom PCI slot to the top. Thinking this might be the problem, I moved the video card back to the top slot PCI-E and the sound card to the bottom PCI slot. Sound is now working again. Thanks for the thread views?:smileytongue:
Think that when I have to buy Win 7 for real if the problem would still persist if I moved the card again? Or is this a hardware limitation?

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.

Itunes 7.0.1 skipping problem with audigy soundcard

Hi, I have an audigy se soundcard and running itunes 7.0.1. Whenever the cpu usage spikes (opening applications and loading animations on webpages) and I'm playing music in itunes, the music skips and cracks. I don't think it's issue with soundcard/driver cuz winamp works perfectly fine with no skips. I've tried changing audio pref (tried 8, 16, 24 bit and 32, 44.1 and 48 khz) in quicktime, all of which did't work. I don't want to change the process priority for itunes cuz i have to do it every time. Any ideas? This doesn't happen with onboard audio so it's really weird. I want to be able to use my soundcard. Thanks.

Did you try turning your hardware acceleration setting down? I was having the same problem with the previous version of iTunes and was advised to change my acceleration setting from "full" to "basic". If you want to try this, go to the control panel>sounds and audio devices>audio tab>sound playback advanced button>pull the acceleration lever down two notches from Full to basic. Restart itunes and see if that helps.

Problems with audigy 4 softw

hi ^^
i have a problem with the software of my audigy 4 pro
the programs don?t start because of a strange error:
"Das von dieser Anwendung unterst?tzte Audioger?t wurde nicht gefunden."
in english:
"The audio device supported by this application was not found."
what causes this problem?
what can i do?

An installation error causes this problem which in the first instance is addressed by ensuring that you have disabled the onboard audio. If this does not work in the second instance you will need to uninstall the card as follows:
/ Uninstall software and drivers either, through control panel or the installation CD
2/ Move the card to PCI slot 3 (if not already there)
3/ Manually remove registry entries as follows:
. Delete the files from "\Creative".
2. Delete the following registry node from the registry
(a) HKLM\Software\Creative Tech\Software Installed
(b) HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uni nstall\5CDDF96A- BC34-4D72-9ABA-EFFF0C39977
4/ Reinstal the software and drivers.
In the third instance we wait to see first.

Microphone problem with POE 13

m@y microphone works with windows 8.1 but Premier Elements 13 will not recognize my "Realtech High Def Audio device.Any suggestion?

coo-gar
Premiere Elements 13 on Windows 8.1 64 bit.
Have you updated your Premiere Elements 13 to 13.1 using an opened projects Help Menu/Updates? If not, please do so.
What type of microphone do you have? Classically, USB microphones do not work with the Premiere Elements (many versions) Narration Tool. However, there are scattered reports where the user claims to have used a certain brand of USB microphone successfully with Premiere Elements Narration Tool. Often the ReadMe files would mention this situation. Although I do not see that mention in the Premiere Elements 13 ReadMe, that does not mean that the problem does not still exist.
One workaround, if no alternative, is to create the narrations in a free program such as Audacity, and then import the narration (wav) saved to the computer hard drive into your Premiere Elements product with its Add Media/Files and Folders.
Please review and consider and give more details.
Thank you.

Microphone problem with my Inspiron 3521

Hi,
I have purchased a laptop Dell Inspiron 15 3521 Tag Number<ADMIN NOTE: Service tag removed as per privacy policy>. It is to inform you that there is a problem with Microphone. The output of the microphone is very low and blurry. I have done all my best to solve the problem but all in vain.
You are requested to please help me in this regards.

You are requested to please help me in this regards.
Hello Muhammad Umar. This forum is for Dell owners to have a place where we can discuss technical issues with each other. If you are attempting to address a Dell representative, I urge you to contact Dell directly.
My own advice to you is to first re-install your Realtek audio driver from the Inspiron 3521 downloads page (make sure to select your operating system in the drop down menu).
If the problem remains, next install the native Windows audio driver. If that also does not fix the problem then you probably have hardware failure of the mic. In that case you should contact tech support (using the above link) and schedule a repair as per your warranty.

Problems with sql developer and win 8 64 bit

Hi there,
It's my first time in this forum, I am a student programmer and I have many problems to install SQL Developer on Oracle Database 12c. I actually managed to install both, but I could not make them work. My question is SQL Developer works on the Windows 8 platform 64-bit?
I'm going crazy, help me please .... Thanks for a while!!!

SqlDeveloper should have no problem working in Win 8, but i do not think it's a supported platform yet.
The Database could be a little more troublesome, if you only need a working database environment to make experiments you could find the "pre-built" Virtual Machines useful.
For Win 8 and 12c try using the EA release of SQLDeveloper 4, because if I'm not mistaken the current 3.2.2 could have some problems with 12c.

Microphone problems with IBM ViaVoice OS X 10.4.6

Hello,
I use a dictation program called IBM ViaVoice for medical dictation. It uses a USB mic called Andrea.
All was working fine until I upgraded to OS X 10.4.6 from 10.4.5 over the weekend, and come Monday AM, when I go to use the program it states "microphone is being used exclusively by another application", and no longer works in the app.
There's nothing wrong with the mic itself, and it checks out in the sound control panel
This is an older app. that IBM no longer directly supports. It still continues to be marketed and supported by a third party company. They "officially"don't support the product past OS X 10.2
I've tried changing configs. in the Sound and Speech control panels to no avail.
I "archived and restored" back to OS X 10.4.5 and it works fine again.
I have the same problem with a new Intel MacBook Pro (OS X 10.4.6) and thought it had to do with the the new architecture, but when this happened to the older powerbook, after the upgrade, obviously it's the software.
Anyone have an idea for a work around? I'd like to continue to upgrade my system and this program is a must for work.
Thanks in advance for any help
Nick Stratton

Nick,
You might want to have a look at my post:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=431700&start=15&tstart=0
As we all know, ViaVoice is a rather quirky piece of software. For unknown reasons, reinstalls often seems to do miracles. But DO NOT FORGET to backup your "temp" and "user" files BEFORE YOU REINSTALL! And be sure to install the patch to version 10.2 (available on Nuance's site).
If you do a lot of dictating, you might also want to consider using a microphone set-up like the one I recommend in the thread mentioned above. I think it improves accuracy and it certainly frees me from the "can't find the microphone" and similar problems I had with my USB microphone. BUT … don't throw away that Andreas line-in to USB converter!! As I said, ViaVoice is quirky software. There are some situations (like creating a new voice model, if my recollection is correct) where VV insists on connection to a USB microphone. If you don't have one handy, you're out of luck. That's why that USB converter can be a godsend, even years after you've written it off to the cobwebbed corners of the basement.

Problems with Audigy 2 ZS ASIO driv

I have some problems with ASIO drivers in my Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro. I use the program Cubase SE. When I select the SB Audigy 2 ZS ASIO 24/96-driver, it works for some time but then the sound starts cracking and popping and eventually doesn?t work at all until you reselect the driver. And with the SB Audigy 2 ZS ASIO-driver I can only record in mono, even though I checked the inputs. I think the Creative ASIO-driver had the same problem. Actually the ASIO Multimedia Driver has functioned the best. What could be the problem?

Indeed, if you think it's something that might be useful to others aswell, then it would be nice to have it up here
