Vista 64-bit + Audigy = no spdif outp

Hi,
Installed Vista Ultimate 64-bit yesterday and the drivers that autoupdate recommended, I can get my headphones to work but my surround system (that's digital only) cannot get a signal from my soundcard. Reading?on the forums I've come to understand there is no support for 64-bit Vista yet, when will we have a driver to enable SPDIF on this setup?J

Hi wap-90,?problem solved.:smileyvery-happy:?. download winrar2. unrar the complete driverpackage to an empty folder3. go to device manager and install the driver manually4. if you were ask where to find the drivers search in the folder where the packages has been unpacked. Takes a bit time to install the drivers, but it works fine for me?Thats it, works with my 64bit Vista system.brSoundser

Error: "Unable to find a working IR device" in Windows Vista 64-bit, Audigy 4

I have Audigy 4 Pro with the RM-500 remote that came with it.
The remote is not working in Vista 64-bit (Enterprise).
It is definitely not a hardware problem because everything works in Windows XP Professional SP3. When I dual boot into Vista, the remote doesn't control anything in Windows but the red light on the I/O external box is blinking so it's definitely receiving input.
When I run "Entertainment Center Settings", I get the error "Unable to find a working IR device" and all the options are greyed out.

Has anyone gotten the remote working in Windows Vista 64-bit's? Thank you for your help.

_ I am having this exact same issue on vista business 32 bit. Everything else on the external box works perfectly fine, except the remote. The remote does work however with intelliremote, but I cannot justify paying the money for such simple functionality. Any fix on [email protected]

Vista 64-bit, Audigy 2 ZS and no so

hi guys!
I have Windows Vista Ultimate (64-bit) now since week and I didn't manage to get the **bleep** drivers for the sound card to work. Everything else works just fine.
There are no problems when installing it, there's just no sound coming out of the speakers, although everything looks alright. I tried almost everything, but it just doesn't work. I reinstalled it that often, that I had to reactivate Vista (I think that shouldn't be too, cause I hadn't changed any hardware part, but that's another problem).
I'm very angry with the current situation, cause I really need the sound.
Is there a solution to the problem or do I have to wait until a new driver is released?

Vista/Win7 Bit-Matched Playback over SPDIF (and Crystalizer)

I have an SB XFi XtremeMusic and use it for my Microsoft Media Center all the way from XP MCE, Vista and now Windows 7 Ultimate (which by the way is robust, pretty mature with most (not all) issues sorted).
. I want to achei've automatic bitperfect output over SPDIF, the 'Bit-Matched Playback' in Audio Creation Mode option is there in both Vista + Win7. IE When playing music 44.k, TV/Videos 48K without using ASIO or WASAPI as Media Center does not support. However the 'Bit-Matched Playback' option appears to do nothing to the output other than disable the Crystalizer option (which doesn't work anyway over SPDIF), it always remains on the default format selected on the audio endpoint properties. Why is the option presented if it doesn't work? I understand in great detail the big differences in the XP/Vista+Win7 audio architecture and know dynamic sample rate switching worked on XP with some cards.
2. Also on a completely different tact why do none of the enhancements (mainly Crystalizer) not work on SPDIF if default Windows audio endpoint? (I know this is completely contrary to point above/audiophiles).
Really if neither of the above two points can work or be addressed then having an expensi've XFi card for SPDIF output is pointless as give no benefit over onboard SPDIF.
Cheers,
Simon

Problem It's the 2.2.0002 drivers. The 2.5.0002 ones are better, but Creative never released an installer for Audigy series.... Problem 2Windows Vista 64bit doesn't support SPDIF pass through. There's a chance it might work with the "dell driver trick" but the driver release notes clearly state it's not supported. Problem 3It's the 2.2.0002 drivers. The 2.5.0002 ones are no better. CMSS 3D effect only at the moment.Hope this helps

Distorted / choppy recorded sound with Audigy 2 ZS and Vista 64-bit

Hi, I wonder if anybody has any idea of why this issue is happening. First let me give you my PC specs:
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 940 @ 3.0 GHz
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4 rev. 2.0
Graphics: 2 x BFG GeForce 8800 GT 52MB
RAM: 4 x GB G.Skill PC6400 @ 800 MHz
Sound: Creative SB Audigy 2 ZS
TV Tuner:? Hauppauge WinTV PVC PCI II (26xxx)
OS: Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit SP
?So here's the deal. I have no problems whatsoever with audio playback with this sound card. The issue I am having is while recording sound with it. When I record my voice via a Microphone with the Windows Sound Recorder and then play it back, my voice sounds very choppy. It sounds as if I was talking in front of a fan. The same happens with any program I try to use. If I use Audacity to record sound, the playback is also distorted / choppy. The main problem is with Skype, as I cannot use it to talk to people because they cannot understand what I'm saying because of the issue. Does anybody has any ideas why this happens? My PC is a dual boot PC with Vista 64-bit and XP 32-bit, and this issue only happens with Vista. Sound recorded plays back fine under Windows XP.
I am using the latest drivers available for this card from the Creative site.
I'd appreciate your help,
Daniel

A little bit off topic here, but 64bit does not mean more performance at all lol.
Sure, but there are in some cases drastic performence diferences. Under a fresh installed Vista X64 i have less CPU usage, as under 32 bit. But of course X64 uses more RAM (some tasks are double 32 and 64 bit).But the main reason I have more performence is, that the games I often play, get almost a boost. Dont ask me why, but under 64 bit EAW and FOC have the same FPS as under 32 bit. But under X64 I use a bit more Details and a higher resolution. (both are 32 bit games, so its a bit funy )?______________________?Sure there are other ways to install the drivers. But if some Setup dosent work, the first thing I try is to get it via Divice Management. And as this worked for me, I dont waste time to try other methods (Had bad experience, you can break the driver faster than install it *G*)?______________________?Some Questions I have left (after a few hours undr X64 with Creative Drivers):?Could it be, that the driver causes sometimes havy CPU usage?Could it also be, that the driver causes some lags, after you copy a file (the end sound, copy is finihed, but takes more time for "final finish", than without the drivers) - I know that Vista has some problems, on some PCs with copy, and that MS has an inoficial Patch (but dosent help for my PC so far)

Audigy 2 ZS and Halo 2 in Vista 64-bit

I just purchased Halo 2. In Vista 64-bit, it sounds horrible using an Audigy 2 ZS. The problems come when the action picks up. The sound comes in and out. Sometimes, it cuts out all together. Come on Creative Labs, get us some decent drivers!!

Hmm, odd. I play Halo 2 on XP x64 using an Audigy 2 ZS and I have no odd sound issues. So, I'm surprised it would be any different in Vista with x64 vs x86. I mean even in XP there are a few little tricks to getting it to work in x64 over x86 (not going into that here) but none of them involve sound issues.
However, when I did have Vista x64, I didn't have any problems (I was using the Audigy at the time) in any of my games. Although Halo had a weird sound issue that was resolved by turing Vsync on (or off I can't remember - whichever is not the default) and that resolved it (it was a sort of popping noise every now and again). Creative really needs to get their butt in gear on releasing a new Audigy driver for Vista. Their unreleased timetable is completely unacceptable from a consumer and OEM standpoint.Message Edited by devguy on 08-04-2007:04 PM

Creative Audigy 2 ZS - ASIO don't work in Vista 64 bit APPs

;C Hello. I have the Creative Audigy 2 ZS card and Vista 64 bit OS. My problem: don't work ASIO in 64 bit applications, such as?cakewalk sonar 8 (64bit), Guitar Rig (64bit) etc. In options of these applications ASIO not available, but in 32 bit version of applications Creative ASIO is visible. I used all drivers from Creative Download Page for Audigy 2 ZS, even beta, but problem still actually. How it is possible to solve the given problem? Sorry for my english.

?I was having the same problem like your having, I have the X-Fi XtrememMusic soundcard, Vista 64-Bit OS and SONAR Home Studio 64-Bit. I could not get the Creative ASIO to load and activate. I now use the Cakewalk Driver Mode (below)?to switch between mode easy now without any problems.
This may or not work, Below is a separate program by cakewalk ?"Cakewalk Driver Mode" that forces?when selected the ASIO, ?WDM/KS and MME 32-Bit modes.
Just install and before going into your SONAR software, use the "Cakewalk Driver Mode" to see if your software is listed. Select that software your using and then select ASIO, click apply and go into your SONAR software.
If your software is NOT listed, this software will not work, But, try it out to see if this works.

Audigy 2 ZS, only 2-Channel sound in VIsta 64-Bit

I just installed, (last night), VIsta 64-Bit. I bought the retail release.
I came here and grabbed the newest Vista 64-Bit driver and installed it.
Here is my dilemma.
In the creative console I set my speaker configuration to 5.. And in the windows Sound control panel applet when I click the configure button the test tones do come out of each speaker accordingly.
BUT, when I play my MP3s, or games, only the front left and right channel output any sound.
In XP I could play MP3s and I could have 2 channel + Sub, (low frequencies would be sent o sub). Now I only get left and right channels and there is no crossover happening.
Same with games.
So while the Sound control panel applet seems to be able to send sound out to all the speakers, there is only sound in the front two when playing music or games.
Help pleas!
Thanks

Can someone help me find a workaround to get flash to work in XP Pro 64 bit, like there is a workaround for vista 64 bit?

Can someone help me find a workaround to get flash to work in XP Pro 64 bit, like there is a workaround for vista 64 bit?
I am trying to get rid of all my 32 bit apps because the more of them you run in 64 bit the less resources are available.
Firefox has a 64 bit browser they call the Shiretoko build. I love it, it's twice as fast as a heavily tweaked 32 bit firefox. Java has a 64 bit plugin that works with it.
The last holdout is Adobe.
Microsoft is making Vista and Win 7 64 bit as easy and smooth as the 32 bit versions as a means to get people to start using them.
Linux has a way to make flash work with 64 bit.
Remember when we all had a 16 bit operating system and how much better things got with 32 bit?
Adobe, it's time!.. don't you see that?
Can someone help me solve my problem? Please?

no the audigy 2 zs is pci based. they have another called audigy 2 zs notebook and that's the one for laptop. if you can't find it from your vendor, you can always try getting it from someone else.

Vist home ultimate + audigy 2 ZS platinum

Hello All ,my audigy keeps disapearing. I start my pc and it is no longer in device manager:System:ABIT AN8 SLI FatalityVista Home Ultimate2 gig? Crucial Ballistix?I am/was running the Audigy as my system sound and the motherboards ?realtek AC 97 for the headset used with comm programmes such as teamSpeak.
I tried to rerun the vista 64 bit drivers dated from apriil 2007 and as it startr to install I am informed that " No compatible device found"?Please helpI thank you .Fritz

it depends on who you ask, but the preferable way for most people is to use a high quality outboard mic preamp and send that into the line in. This is because the mic preamps in most consumer cards are considered cheesy. So boosting the mic up with a preamp gives you the advantage of being able to use the line input with your mic which is generally better quality sound.
As i said tho, it depends on who you ask. I have a shure Beta 57 which is an industry standard for pro sound microphones. Not a $5000 recording mic. But a very good general purpose mic. I go into the audigy 2ZS's mic input. However, to do so you need a impedence transformer (about $20) and you need to wire a stereo mini plug so that it bypasses the power that the jack supplies for PC mics which require it. In any case, i do this because i'm not a subscriber to the "use a preamp into the line in" club. Yes, it will produce better tone, but the question is how much better and how much of that improvment will actually make it to your ear? Personally i have tried both ways and find the difference tobe negligable. I'm sure that could change to some extent with a different card or mic or some other difference. But for me with an audigy 2 and the shure mic with an impedence transformer i get what i feel is very good sound the way i do it. So i really don't care what some may say. (many will insist you're stupid for doing it any other way than a preamp) I've been a musician for over 3 decades now and i know the difference between good and bad sound. And what i get from this setup is very good sound to my ear. Maybe not the best, but it's no slouch !
By the way, the creative box as far as the inputs is just basically an extention of the rear panel to make for the convenience of having your connections up front.

Audigy 2, spdif dropouts windows 7x64

%Audigy 2, spdif dropouts windows 7x64B hello, i have this problem with dropouts in windows 7, every few seconds the sound pops, there's no problem when listening to a stereo signal through the spdif, only with the dts/ac3 passthrough.
i have searched far and wide for a solution for this problem but it seems fruitless.
i saw a thread regarding this error in vista from last year with no solution found...
does anyone else have this problem nowadays? is there a work around or should i just wait for newer drivers?
now my real question is this, is there a creative soundcard that works as intended in windows 7?
i'm thinking of upgrading but i see many similar threads about the x-fi series, i don't want to spend alot of money and come home with the same problem....
thanks /Bj?rn

) this stuff is bananas
i actually stumbled upon a solution!
i put the ac3codec to wave output, speakers as default output in win7 devices.
now if i just start a movie, the dropouts start clicking, most likely clock-error (jitter)
BUT!
if i start a mp3 in winamp before the movie that locks my reciever to 96khz stereo, and then start the movie wich shifts it to ac3 movie mode, there's no jitter...
as i said. bananas.

Vista Live 5.1 with SPDIF mod

Hi, I have a Li've 5. card with a Coax SPDIF adaptor connected via Coax to my amp. but cant get it working properly in Vista 32 bit.
Using Media Player Classic and AC3filter it will output Stereo but nothing more than that.
I have tried the stock Vista Driver, NGO drivers and the KX Project drivers but none of these will allow proper spdif passthrough.
In the control panel I have ticked "digital output only".
I have tried every SPDIF option in AC3filter but nothing works. I can see all the channel bars in the mixer receiving sound but then it just gets passed to the amp as stereo. The SPDIF option is stated as "disabled" in AC3filter.
Anyone able to help me ?
Thanks

bump, anyone ?
