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)?

  • SoundBlaster Audigy Probl

    Ok I've been having a LOT of problems lately with my SoundBlaster Audigy. Recently I decided to take out one of my two hard dri'ves and once I installed windows to my other hard dri've my sound card started acting funny. Sometimes it works, most of the time it doesn't. When I try using the install file for the card it says "No Soundblaster detected."? When I check my Device Manager I see this:??Other Devices

    ?!394 Net Adapter?It only shows the network adapter when the sound card is in the PCI slot. When I do a properties on the Sound card I see this:?The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)To reinstall the drivers for this device, click Reinstall Driver.

I have used the updated install file as well as the v.0. I am not understanding this at all. No matter what I do the soundcard doesn't show up as a SoundBlaster. But I have sound, not as the correct soundcard, but I do have sound. When I did get it to work and show up as a SoundBlaster Audigy, it works for maybe a few hours then I get a horrible screeching sound from my speakers then my computer freezes up. I restart the computer and my Soundcard is gone again.
    Does anyone have any ideas what I can do to fix it or can I? Is my soundcard going bad? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

    Wrothgar,
    Try following these uninstallation steps from this Knowledgebase article SID72. After you have finish uninstalling and removing all the files as instructed from the guide, do not reboot but shutdown the computer and remove the soundcard from the computer instead. Next, power on the computer without the soundcard and then let Windows finish its startup before shutting it down again. Slot the soundcard back into the computer and proceed with the re-installation from the CD.

  • Creative SoundBlaster Audigy Advanced MB software activation probl

    Hello!?I bought?a software named Creative SoundBlaster Audigy Advanced MB, when I ordered my notebook Inspiron 720 from DELL, on the 8th? of September, 2007. They provided a CD for the software, which I installed, and it worked. But then later that day (when I recieved the laptop), I formatted the hard-disk for the following reasons - ) It only had 2 partitions for the entire dri've, one of which was a recovery partition, and I wanted to create more.2) I wanted to remove MediaDirect.3) I wanted to remove bloatware that DELL gave me with it, ie, DELL Quickset, DELL Support, DELL this, DELL that, Norton AntiVirus etc.4) I wanted Vista installed by my way. After I had done everything I wanted, I started to re-install the Creative software, the same way like I did before. But this time, when it took me to the transaction page and asked me for the reason of re-installing this software, it said "The CD Key has expired."?I have tried 2 different browsers,?I have cleared my cache, I have penta-checked my CD-Key before each install and have done anything a Computer Software engineer (me) would do, with the help of the Internet as well. But my every effort went in vain. Then, I did something I didn't want to do, I contact DELL technical support. Their solutions ranged from installing the latest drivers (yes, drivers for a software), to removing and re-installing the latest Internet Explorer (yes, they asked me to REMOVE IE) to put the HARDWARE in some other machine. Quite clearly, the 4 support executi'ves I talked to there at DELL had no clue as to what is going on and what is the problem. Then, after a 2 hours chat with another one of them, I was told that they just provide the software, and it is Creative's duty to handle everything later and asked me to talk to you. The email support page do not have the option of support for this software, so I selected some other product but sent my problem.
    It would be very nice to know if there exists a solution to this problem, and how should I approach it. It has only been 20 days since I bought this software. Thank you!

    Finally, I got a reply from the email team, and they sought some further information, which I duly provided. Then, they provided me with a new CD Key. But here is the thing, they say after 3 times of re-installing the software, I will have to pay for it. What?Why would I pay for something which I bought, again and again? The whole world knows about Windows Vista, how incompatible it is with more than 80% of the software, and it will be the same till SP is released. I have since this Sunday gone have re-installed vista 4 times, once due to the fact that AHCI in the BIOS was not enabled by default, and I had to re-do the installation, then it was SATA drivers not presentonthe Vists disk, then the nVidia drivers had problem with Vista and it crippled it and won't go and then the Windows Media Player , quite clearly still not fully functionable, made my system bust. And I can say that it will happen again, so why do I have to pay some part of the software's price again? I am not using it on any other machine, and that is checked by it's CRC checker anyways, I am not using it for any business project, which shouldn't be a problem even if I did, as I own it. If any of you guys have an answer to this, please let me know.
    Thank you, and have a very nice day all!

  • Soundblaster Audigy - guitar connection probl

    I bought the Soundblaster Audigy soundcard w. front-deck and so on from a friend.
    The sound out works just fine, but it does not register the sound in when i plug in the guitarjack. I have tried many things, like checking that something's not muted and so on... but nothing works.
    Could really use some help, it's getting frustrating...

  • Creative L3500 Speaker system and Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS Soundcard (I have a driver probl

    Yes I have had a driver problem so i went to the download section of this site and picked up a driver program for my soundcard yet it doesn't work. When i do uninstall my soundcard (i need to uninstall current driver to install new driver)and i restart my comp after removing the old one i get sound, but i notice i don't get very good sound, not as good as my old before it stoped working.

    JRe: Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum - Speaker issues not covered by FAQs0 I'm afriad that the CMSS3D option did not work? ? I still cannot get any speakers to play out of the rear of the soundcard.
    As I said before, the goal is to try to get sound to play out of both the headset and the speakers attached to the rear of the soundcard simuntaneously.
    The headset is plugged into one of those devices in the front that is in a 5 & /4" bay that has the individual knobs for adjusting volume for the headset and outbound levels for the microphone.
    The speakers are plugged into the back of the soundcard and do not play any sound in any of the sockets, starting from the firewire port and counting 3 over.
    Any suggestions? I? thought it might have something to do with the setting of the speakers from control panel - > Sounds and Audio Devices -> Advanced and picking the right choice there. No luck however. Same for the Creative Speaker Settings as well.
    I'm at wits end and I'd be very thankful to whoever can resolve this for me. =)

  • How to install The Soundblaster Audigy SE in Windows 7 RC?

    :How to install The Soundblaster Audigy SE in Windows 7 RC?Y Two days ago I bought a Soundblaster Audigy SE-retail soundcard. I have a dual boot PC with Windows XP-SP3 and Windows 7 RC. The installation of the soundcard?in Windows XP was easy, no problems, good sound.
    But how to install in Windows 7 RC ?
    I have the installation and applications CD with XP and Vista drivers and I have the driver-download from Creative.com SB24PCDRV LB 0 - 04 - 0090.
    Windows 7 tells me "No device for audio output is installed". Windows automaticly?installed a driver, but that doesn't work. (code 39). The driver download from?creative does not install new drivers and when I try it manually Windows tells me "The best driver is already installed"
    When I uninstall?the driver that Windows installed and try to install the downloaded?creative driver for Windows 7, the driver will not install, and Windows message is something like "?no audio device is installed on this computer"
    What to do ? A computer without sound is nothing...
    Thanks,
    Arie

    >Re: How to install The Soundblaster Audigy SE in Windows 7 RC?% Meocene is 00% on the money. Dan K.'s pack is the best. I have used the pack on four different systems with AUDIGY LS and SE cards that I bought cheaply (all four on Ebay for $40). The package has worked under XP, Vista, and Windows 7 very well.
    I have friends that play Left4Dead and they have been immensely pleased when playing the games in their flats with or without headphones, as compared to their old "onboard RE--t-k" sound.
    The package also works well on a Gateway or HP machine when disabling onboard audio first then installing the Audigy and installing drivers and apps for the first time. Gi've up on using your old CDs, you will only run into a mountain of trouble trying to "Auto-Update" all that with the newest patches.

  • Connecting Soundblaster Audigy 2zs to Home Theater Amplif

    Can I connect my Soundblaster Audigy 2zs directly to an amplifier and still get 5.,6.,or7. speaker setup? I feel it's kind of redundant to use a reciever when the Audigy has all the capabilities of a Home Theater Reciever. And it outputs sound at 92khz, which currently is only available on more expensi've recievers.
    My goal is to use my pc as a souce and connect it directly to amps and speakers. I would like to put money I save on recievers into a high end speaker system
    I have read in the previous posts that it may be possible to do 5. by getting an mini jack to RCA adapter for each channel. But no details on 6. or 7..

    I am in the same situation as you. As the CL told me
    http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=soundblaster&message.id=5343 --
    You can either use the audigy to decode the sound or your reciever to decode the sound with the SPDIF passthrough. Just whichever has the better specs.
    From my situation I would recommend having speakers with analog hookups to the front/rear/center sub rather then the digital output. The only way to take advantage of the digital output is with a DVD and in that case you can just watch a DVD on your TV rather then your computer. For games the analog 5. hooks is better as well because with games it decodes it and with your reciever it would only have 2. sound.

  • Dual Soundblaster Audigy Inst

    Oddly, this is not going well at all. Some history first.
    I'm sure many would question the why's. I've seen other people post that they want to use two soundcards and everyone says why.
    I play alot of video games, and use voice chat. I'd like to hear game sound from my 5. sound system, and hear voice chat in a headset.
    I used to use two computers to accomplish this, but recently, my spare had a harddri've problem and went down. So i went to a local vendor and got a Soundblaster Audigy SE about 2 days ago. Testing with that and my onboard sound has been abysmal. Usually within a couple minutes, the setup will interact unfavorably with a videogame. With a game (eve-online or FFXI Online) running on one card (doesn't matter which) and Teamspeak/roger wilco/ventrilo running on the other, the game tends to get buggered up (popping sounds, then eventually the graphics either get very messed up, like the game losing track of where my character is). If i only use one app on one card, or both apps on one card, no issues.
    So, last night i went and bought another SB Audigy SE, thinking that perhaps there was a clocking issue with the on board card. Maybe, maybe not, as right now, as soon as windows attempts to bring both cards online during an acti've session of windows, it crashes/reboots immediately. If both cards are started during startup, the machine throws a Kmode exception 0xe bluescreen and hangs. I did disable the onboard card before attempting any of this, and reset the ESCD via bios.
    I attempted to uninstall the drivers and install both cards simultaneously by doing a fresh install, this just results in the Kmode blue screen. In safe mode, with both cards acti've, if i change the settings on one card, the settings on the other card change as well. I had read on the internet (various google results) that sometimes installing two of the exact same card will result in your system thinking both cards are the same card.
    So, i'm looking for a solid "I've seen/done this and you can fix it by:..." sort of answer, but any musings would be helpful too.

    I *think* you have WhatUHear as the record device. Open up the Creative Control Panel (volume) and the far right option with the word Rec as the heading may have WhatUHear under it. You can click a drop down arrow and chose Microphone. Also, in Control Panel go to Sounds and Audio Devices, Audio Tab and click volume for Sound Recording. Make sure the tick is in the Microphone column.

  • PLEASE HELP: installing my Soundblaster Audigy LS-soundcard with the latest hardware(bundle)drive

    Problem:
    I have a Soundblaster Audigy LS Soundcard in one of my PCI slots (I already tried the other slot with the same result). I run Windows XP professional SP2.
    When I install the hardwaredriver-bundle version: Sound Blaster Audigy LS .04.0055, I have no problem, but when I install version .0.4.077 (in this example: or I install version 055 or I install version 077), I have the following problem: (through Control Panel) in system properties/hardware/device manager, I find PCI Device listed in " other devices " with a black exclamationmark in a yellow circle, while the SB Audigy LS is listed in the group " sound, video and game controllers ". The soundcard works, which is great but why is the exclamationmark showing? I already tried a different PCI slot, IRQ assignement in BIOS, but is still shows. The strange thing is, if I install first version 055 and then version 077, the problem is gone. A new problem that occurs if I do so, is that the PC hangs when starting Windows (but I'm not sure if that has to do with the fact that I install version MediaSource 5 Player-Organizer 5.20.23 over version 5.0.38, just to keep the MediaSourceGo! Toolbar (because it's no longer part of the softwarebundle version 20.23 - which has been confirmed by the support of Creative), the same with version of CD Burner Plugin 5.0.44 over 5.0.3 because it's not really clear on the website, if you need the previous version or if it's a full "update"). Please URGENT (with detailed info on every explained problem/issue - so I can try to resolve it) help.

  • Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS - Vista - speaker calibration etc

    Hi,
    I've searched but I can't find an obvious answer to what I suspect is a common question.
    I've got an Audigy 2 ZS Pro which I've just installed using the drivers from the site. It's working ok but there is no applciation for set up of the speakers in a room - as there was in the original CD that I used with XP.
    Can anyone help? Or am I just imagining that a utility did exist when I last installed this on an XP machine?

  • Creative Soundblaster Audigy 2 Zs help

    Before I start rambling on about my problem here are my specs (BTW I'm not incredibly computer literate; my dad helped me install everything before I left for school):Cpu: Intel Duo Processor 2.66 GhzRAM: .5 GB DDR2Video Card: ATI Radeon 9600 (soon to be one of their newer models)OS: Windows XPSound Card: Creative Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS?Ok so I was reinstalling everything after I had to format my computer. I get through installing my creative sound card and figure everything went great. I was playing my music when I had realized that I forgot to configure my sound card for them, as I was getting mono instead of stereo (was only playing out of left speakers). So I go into speaker setup and click on "calibrate speakers" or something like that. Anyway, the speaker calibrator says that It could not be ran for some reason (i forget). I figure that it wasn't working because I hadn't updated anything yet. I update, and I still get the same message. So I reinstalled the software and updated it again and now when I try to run ANY of my creative software related to the sound card (I.E. EAX console, Speaker Setup) it says that "The Audio device supported by this software is not detected. The Application will now shut down."? Now remember that I'm not great with computers, so my solution now will probably sound stupid. But anyways I figured that I had installed the wrong sound card software (it gives me three choices on the disc). I uninstall everything and choose another setting. I still got the same problem. So I try the third choice and I get the same problem. Any suggestions? I've tried all three choices and I still get the same problem.

    Hi
    You may first need to patch the driver package by using ctcomp.exe to get std. drivers (eg. not Dell specific) installed to your Dell PC. Search this forum after ctcomp.exe --> there you'll find some instructions too.
    You can also find a link to the latest drivers available (I personally use Audigy 4 drivers from november 2005 --> can be found from creative support pages) by searching this forum (I think the latest WHQL version is .~62 for the original version).

    Hello. I am using an Emachines with 3.3GHz Celeron and .5G RAM and Windows XP SP2. I am trying to record with Acid Pro 6 at 24bit and 44.khz (seems to work with the default audio device - Microsoft Sound Mapper or something like that) but I do not get the I/O options that I have with?the Audigy. I went to Options - Preferences then clicked on the Audio device tab and I tried to switch the audio device?to Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS and I get a message saying that this device does not support that bitrate or sample rate. The only time it will let me switch to Soundblaster Audigy is if I first change to 24bit and 96khz. The problem with this rate is that?it consumes hard dri've space rapidly. Can the Audigy 2 ZS support a 24/44. rate? I am still trying all kinds of troubleshooting. I'm also researching on the Acid Pro forum for info. Any feedback will be appreciated. Thank you. Jeremiah

  • Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS - static no

    Hi,
    I have a Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS soundcard in my Dell Dimension 4700 computer. Recently I started getting a lot of static - like rice crispies crackling.
    It would go away sometimes after powering down, but come back after a few hours. After reading some of the posts here I tried moving the card further away from the video card. This seems to allow me to run longer without the static - a few days was my last try. But the static did come back and I had to power down to get rid of it. Now I am static free for several hours, but I think it will be back. I can't move the card any further away now - it is in the last slot. I'd appreciate any feedback on ways to fix my problem and what exactly my problem is. I don't really understand what is causing the static. Thanks in advance,Steve

    I have the same card -- and the same problem -- in my Dell XPS Gen 3 system.
    Two weeks ago, I started getting constant static though my speakers. I didn't know what the source of the problem was and, since I have a year left on my warranty, I called Dell tech support. I subsequently embarked on a two-week troubleshooting nightmare which involved all sorts of fun stuff including:
    A system restore (rolling everything back to factory settings and having to reinstall everything)which did not solve the problem
    Determination that I had faulty speakers (which turned out not to be the case after the speakers were replace with brand new ones)
    Complete reformatting of my hard dri've and a full reinstall of the operating system (Windows XP Professional (turns out the XP professional disk I got with my computer actually contained XP Home, so I am looking forward to another round of reinstalling the OS once Dell ships me the proper software). The reinstall did not solve the problem.
    The Dell people finally had me relocate my computer and 6-piece speaker system to another room (to see if an electrical source was causing the static). Static was still there.
    They finally determined that the problem was in the Creative sound card, even though their diagnostics gave it a clean bill of health. My guess is that one of the input jacks developed a bad connection with the card after 2 years of use.
    I have not yet received the replacement sound card. I'm crossing my fingers that when the new one arri'ves, the static problem will disappear.
    So if you work through Dell tech support, do yourself a favor and cite my problem. It may save you hours and hours and hours of frustrating troubleshooting.
    To be fair, I have to say that the various Dell tech reps I worked with were very thorough, polite, and accommodating. They did things by the book, which is really the only way to approach a mystery problem like the one I'm having.
    The downside is, during the past two weeks, I've spent more time trying to get my computer back in shape than I've spent working (I'm self-employed). But it was also a learning experience and I now know a lot more about computers than I did before.
    I hope you get your sound card problem solved quickly with less pain and suffering than I went though.
