I Have had a problem for ages. I have the Audigy 2 ZS Platinum and Inspire 5. digital 5500.
I have copied the advice I received/didnt recieve from creative.

Dear Martin
Thanks for your reply
I am sorry for the problem you are facing.
To achieve outputs from all the speaker during speaker test, you will need to have an analog connection, or digital DIN connection.
That will be possible if you connect the three line out jacks on your soundcard, to the three audio input (analog jacks->green,black,orange) on your speaker, if it has this connection. Or, you may connect them using Digital DIN, if they have this connection.
If you are using digital connection (coaxial, optical), there will be no way to achieve sound output from all the speakers during 5. speaker test, as they carry stereo signal.

Hi
I understand you must be busy, so no problem.
No I do not hear EAX when in Pro-logic mode. I only hear (depending on the game in question)
Half life two: front left-right and centre. NO rears
Fear: Front, left, right, & centre. No rears
Farcry Front left, right & centre. No Rears
When I run your speaker test HISSSSS, No Rears, no front left or right
Beats me?

If you select Dolby Prologic mode on the decoder, are you able to listen
the game audio, with EAX, in all of the speakers?

Hello
Your email was helpful, unfortunately, not for my unit, you see I would
have
connected the Jack leads in by now if the inspire had Jack lead inputs
as
you describe
Please don't think I am being sarcastic, but from reading the
correspondence
below it would seem as if your department is having difficulty
understanding
my problem.
Also it would seem your department doesn't have the necessary technical
information on your very own product, so to help with your dilemma I
have
taken photos of the input/outputs on the Inspire unit.
You will clearly see the inspire has no inputs other than Coaxial and
Optic.
This leaves me back to my last post. I think the solution would be for
me to
purchase the correct processor, which would have come with the original
sound card had I not been a little tight on the money front.
I have attached a photo of the sound card with the processor, I would
love
to buy this processor but find myself unable to locate this product on
your
web site. Would you possibly be able to send me the correct link to this
item so I can buy this Processor Please?
Kind regards
Martin

Your soundcard is Audigy 2 ZS
Your speaker is Creative Inspire 5. Digital 5500
You will need to have a 3:3 cable(with the color green, black, orange)
to connect your soundcard to your speaker, to achieve the 5. effects
with games.
Below is the connection:
- Connect line out jack of Audigy 2 ZS
to 'Front' of Creative Inspire 5. Digital 5500 using the green color
connection
- Connect line out 2 jack of Audigy 2 ZS
to 'Rear' of Creative Inspire 5. Digital 5500 using the black color
connection
- Connect line out 3 jack of Audigy 2 ZS
to 'Center/Subwoofer' of Creative Inspire 5. Digital 5500 using the
orange color connection
Once you have done the correct connection, play the game DOOM3.
Ensure you have selected either the EAX or surround option in the game
settings.
Does it work?

You have lost me. Your sound card clearly states that I can have EAX
surround decoding from the sound card I have purchased.
All of the games on your web site claim to give me an environmental
effect
that will blow my mind, hence EAX.
All I have done wrong is NOT buying your decoder that comes with the
sound
card. My mistake.
All I want to do is re-address this issue and buy the correct
decoder/processor.
Can you point me to the correct link on your web site so I can buy the
correct decoder/processor?
As for the PCM out of the above cables, this foxes me as my other
equipment
only use Optical cabling on my Lexicon processor and from that I have DD
7., DTS 7. and meridian 5. lossless.
My issue is more to do with NO EAX from the rear and centre channels
while
in-game.

Thanks for your reply
All commercial digital connection eg. optical or coaxial cable will only
carry PCM stereo signal. If you want to output the signal to a surround
5. with extra EAX environment effects, it will not be possible at all
since it is only restricted to stereo channel signal.
As per current industry limitations, we are bound to follow the standard
one-signal output for all our SPDIF and Optical output jacks. This is
something that is currently shared by all vendors for all products.
Please note that all games are not dolby digital, even they are , it
will require certain motherboard to encode it to dolby digital signal,
which our soundcard does not support.
You can only use analog connections to gain true 5. surround for
gaming..

Hi Joong
I don't fully understand your email, but I do get the gist of what

Dear Martin
Thank you for the reply.
Computer games written with support for 3D audio do not require a Dolby
Digital Interacti've Content Encoder (DICE) to output multichannel sound,
with no exceptions. Sound devices that support the real time encoder
technology from Dolby will simply receive the multichannel wave file
output and encode it in real time to a somewhat modified Dolby Digital
bitstream. Creative does not support the Dolby Digital Interacti've
Content Encoder on any of its sound cards.
The only difference between a Sound Blaster card and an audio card that
has a real time encoder, is that you can make a one-wire, digital
connection from your audio card to your home theater receiver and enjoy
discrete multichannel sound from the game. However there will be a
continuous, slight delay, known as "latency", as the encoder is creating
and transmitting the bitstream, and of course the compression scheme
being used is "lossy" (i.e. not bit-accurate).
If you want to enjoy 3D audio in 3D enabled PC games in multichannel
surround sound with a Sound Blaster card, it is recommended that you
connect the analog outputs of the sound card directly to the analog
inputs of the receiver. This will require 3 cables for 5. surround
sound, one for front right and left, one for rear left and right, and
another one for front center and subwoofer. Though it requires more
cables than a real time encoder system, it will not have any latency
issues. When connecting PC audio to a home theater receiver, Creative's
latest sound cards such as Sound Blaster Audigy, Sound Blaster Audigy 2
are likely to provide higher quality audio than any Dolby Digital real
time encode system available for the PC today.

Hi
One particular game which has "in-game" DD is Farcry; I used this as my

No, inspire 5500 does not automatically switch while "in-game" when DD

me
think the DD stream isn't getting to the processor.
I originally thought I could put all this to rest if I could buy the

save
money, but every time I search your accessories site I get completely
lost,
it really isn't user friendly, the sub-menus are very time consuming and
point you in the wrong direction because they are not categorised as Joe

I downloaded your TEST Movies and creative demo player utility, ran it

still no EAX HD or DD if that were present.
I want to put this card and Processor into my boys computer (which is

I cannot find a logical reason why this set-up cannot work first.
Would it have anything to do with the pins on the Digital out on the

is selected.
I can play a DVD and see the inspire 5.
automatically change from Pro-logic to Dolby
digital when it See's an AC-3 stream.
when I try and play ANY game you say has EAX
,2,3,4 I cannot get any sound from my rear
speakers (see above in Dolby Digital ALL speakers
work correctly)
when I enter the set-up menu within the creative
software you supply with the sound card and select
5. speaker, digital only, test the speakers via
the white noise function, all i hear is left and
right noise. no centre, no rears.
I phoned you tech support line, the boy on the
phone didn't have much of a clue about your
product and I had to tell him what connections sit
on the inspire 5. series amp/processor.
I want to build another PC for my son, I want to
add the FX series sound card and amp, but i am not
willing to buy anything until i feel you have
helped me to solve this problem first.
please can you help, I am at the end of my tether

:angry: Owners of Audigy 2ZS need beta driver and or fix for the crackling and popping audio problems to. My system is: ASUS A8V with latest official BIOS, ATI x850 Pro, WD SATA 250GHD, AMD A64 3700, 2x52 twinx Corsair matched memory, Antech true power 2.0, 500 Watts. I have all the latest drivers and I am running XP pro SP2. I to have the bad audio when playing games such as BF2, COD2 and UT2004. I also have bad audio when playing music through WINAMP and surfing the internet. I have no IRQ conflicts and have the beta drivers for the Audigy installed. I can reduce/eliminate the amount of popping/crackling by going into my BIOS, then save and exit.Message Edited by Dirty_Harry on 06-07-2006 09:55 AM

No it does not, as long as you do as follows: (Instructions are copied over from my previous posts on the subject)
How to manually change the Windows HAL:
Use the following command: "expand d:\i386\halacpi.dl_ c:\windows\system32\hal.dll"
Whereas: d: is your CD-ROM letter, or where you Windows XP Installation resides.
halacpi.dl_ can be any of the following depending on what you want to install:
"Standard PC", Non-ACPI PIC HAL (Hal.dll)</LI>
"MPS Uniprocessor PC", Non-ACPI APIC UP HAL (Halapic.dl_)</LI>
"MPS Multiprocessor PC", Non-ACPI APIC MP HAL (Halm
ps.
dl_)</LI>
"Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) PC", ACPI PIC HAL (Halacpi.dl_)</LI>
"ACPI Uniprocessor PC", ACPI APIC UP HAL (Halaacpi.dl_)</LI>
"ACPI Multiprocessor PC", ACPI APIC MP HAL (Halmacpi.dl_)
</LI>
Offcourse, the HAL you should change to is Standard PC. You will lose Dual Core or HT support in the process, but I strongly believe it can help. As per above, you can switch back to your previous HAL without reinstalling. You will be most prolably asked for the drivers of your devices, but on my setup, it didn't, as they were already stored in Windows' System Folders.

PC suddenly lost my sound card (Audigy 2zs)

Yesterday, out of the blue, my PC was no longer able to play music. I was playing an album through mediamonkey?and suddenly it stopped. Took me some time to realize that my system no longer identified the sound card. I'm using an Audigy 2ZS and now not even the drivers appear on the system manager.
I tried a lot of things to no avail:
- Tried to reinstall the drivers: they won?t install because they can't find the hardware.
- Tried uninstalling everything (drivers, creative software, etc), still coudn't install the drivers.
- Changed card to a different slot, still system can't find it
- Tried to install an X-Fi that I also have (I still prefer the audigy) on both slots, no go, same problem, same steps as the above.
- Tried a system restore, no change.
I am now using my onboard sound but I would very much like to go back to my audigy. Here are my specs:
- Gigabyte GA-P3-S3G mobo
- Intel Core 2 Duo E7200 @ 2.53GHz
- 2 GB Ram
- Nvidea 8800 gt PCI-E ultra-edition (Gigabyte)
- Windows XP SP3
- PCI wireless network card (Blekin Rangebooster, can't remember the model)
As far as I know, nothing on my system has changed. It probably has nothing to do with that or else system restore would work.
In the past I had a similar problem, with a different machine not being able to see the sound card on a fresh XP install. I gave up then, but after a few days, all of the sudden, a message poped-up telling "new hardware detected". Only then was I able to install the complete software and driver pack.
So anyway, any ideas on this one? I would love to get my Audigy online again....

/Re: PC suddenly lost my sound card (Audigy 2zs)& Hi Zehnra, I don't think it's exacly the same problem. My PC sees no card at all and even reeboting with a diferent one on a diferent slot won't do the trick. I also don't think it has anything to do with any windows update or else system restore would take care of that (I restored it to 24h of the failling point).
I noticed one thing thouh, I still have some leftovers from creative stuff, so maybe that's what blocking basic xp drivers. But hunting everything down by hand is a b****, specialy going through the registries...
On your case, someone told me on some other forum that there is some kind of bug with newer drivers and SP3. If I were you I would try to unistall everything first, also the x-fi drivers. There is a diferent instalation menu within the installation package, directly on the xp drivers folder. After that try rebooting and if your PC sees the card, try installing trhough the original CD... Sorry if you already tried that but I ran out of ideas. Moved to my onboard card now.... ?

SoundBlaster Audigy 2ZS VE Vista Driv

I have a Sound Blaster Audigy 2ZS Video Editor and am running vista business, i have installed the latest creative Drivers and have been waiting for months for creative to release PROPER WORKING FULLY FUNCTIONAL VISTA DRIVERS,? so that this product can work as its meant to work. I have been advised that drivers are being worked on and that they should be released soon. Its been 6-8 months and still no drivers that can deli'ver the functionality i expect in a $600 sound card, when i purhcased this product, there was a vista logo located with this product descrition saying it is supported and is vista ready, quite clearly it is not. I need accurate information on the following questions:?. Is there a creative team in fact working on a fully functional vista driver for this product.2. When will this vista driver be released?3. Will this driver deli'ver a fully functional product?Do not reply to this with some crappy template response as this will infuriate me, please reply with logic as i am a paying customer and have been for many years, i expect respect and i expect the truth from creative on this occassion. Please advise and escalate this matter to the MANAGING DIRECTOR OF CREATIVE, if you cannot then provide me with the correct contact details and i will do it myself.

Vespa,
We do not have plans to support Vista for Video Editor.
However, if you check the discussion on the Forum (primarily in the Video area) you will see that the audio portion can work due to the Vista support for the Audigy 2 ZS line and for the video portion, check the info on how to make it work. It works with Vista 32bit.

[Soundblaster Audigy 2ZS] Sound cutting out in middle of gamepl

I have Vista, and I never had this problem with XP.
I downloaded the Vista drivers and have ran Windows Update for all the missing drivers.
When I run dxdiag.exe
I go to the sound tabs and find this.
The file ctaud2k.sys is not digitally signed, which means that it has not been tested by Microsoft's Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL). You may be able to get a WHQL logo'd driver from the hardware manufacturer.
For Sound
and Sound 2
Sound 3 says everythign is fine.

I've found that Audigy series cards "cut out" if you alter speaker properties in Vista Control Panel.
Creative umm... bug I think that's what they call it...
For example
I find 6bit, 48000 Hz (DVD Quality) is the highest quality I can set.
I've seen it on Audigy 2, Audigy 2ZS and Audigy 4. Win32 and Win 64.
Is your adapter set to studio quality If so - that's most probably it.
Hope this helps.

You can find all this information written in motherboard's manual (if you don't have one then normally you can DL the manual from motherboard manufacturers support pages).
Also, you'll propably can find this information by googling quite easy too (search after reviews of your motherboard model/pc model (if PC is factory build model)).

Audigy 2Zs No System Sound, No Audio Card So

About a month ago I ugraded to the latest drivers for audigy 2ZS and everything ran smoothly until now. I can't understand all of a suden have no sound at all. Checked everything is connected properly. My os is windows vista. Please help. I tried google to find and answer but not luck.

Well to upgrade to beta driver is never a good thing to do . If you have system restore go back in time to before the new drivers were installed . If that does not work uninstall the new drivers and install the old drivers again .Good Luck :smileyvery-happy:

Loud crackeling noise and barely any sound-Audigy 2zs, Dell Dimension 2

I just installed audigy 2zs into my Dell Dimension 2400 and all Im getting is a loud crackle, like static, out of my center speaker (logitech 5. Thx). There is a faint bit of sound in the background also, and no sound at all from the other speakers. Any suggestions? I think I have all the drivers installed and all the tests have passed. Thx.

I have also had some issues with the sound card popping and cracking. It only happens when I am either playing a cd, DVD or a video game. I have a Compaq Presario 2500 laptop, dvd/dvd-rw dri've Maxtor usb2 external hard dri've, Targus 7 port usb2 router, wireless mouse and keyboard, and finally my Audigy 2 NX sound blaster. Seriously I have tried everything and to no avail. I have even wiped the computer just for kicks. I only had the sound card working properly but it didn?t last. What I did was to uninstall the drivers for the DVD dri've and shut down the computer. After the computer started back up it reinstalled the DVD drivers and I had good quality sound.... or so I thought. About 2 days later the same problem arose and I uninstalled the drivers again but this time it did not fix the problem. I have the windows updated, DVD driver?s updated sound card updates EVERYTHING but I still get the static in the speakers only when I am trying to listen to a cd play a video game or watch a DVD. When you have a 4 thousand dollar sound system connected to your sound card would expect good sound from it. Plus the email technicians have emailed me a million things to do but have those worked? NO! I am starting to think that Creative doesn?t care about its costumers anymore. I have seriously thought about getting a different sound card but I have not. I like my 7. surround sound when I listen to mp3 and watch movies that I have ripped on the computer. Someone please give me some advice this sound card is really trying my patience.

Before I go through the hassle of tweaking all kinds of settings in windows and scrubbing and reinstall drivers (and thereby getting progressi'vely more frustrated), I want to see if anyone else has had the same problem I am and if they found a solid solution.
I have an Intel P4 based machine with a gugabyte 8KNXP mobo. The only cards in my machine are an ATI Radeon All-In-Wonder 9800 PRO, and my Audigy 2ZS. The vid card is riding in the AGP slot, and I have moved my sound card to every PCI slot except the one next to the video card due to heat reasons.
My sound is perfectly fine whenever I am not gaming. When it does act up, I do not get the crackling I have heard posted here by other people. What I get is a very regular click/pop. It is very sudden, very short, and *very* regular. The clicks are usually about a second and a half apart. The clicking isn't always present. It will come and go. When it shows up, it usually continues until I shut the game down, although there are cases when it will just suddenly stop and everything is ok again.
I have had this problem playing online games. WoW, EQ2, EVE, GuildWars, etc... Non-network games don't give me this problem.
The obvious assumption here is that it is network related. My motherboards onboard network controller is on IRQ 8. My audigy is on IRQ 22. No conflict there.
Has anyone experienced a similar problem?

Hello,
Thanks for the reply! In surround mixer, under source, I do see the last slide on the right is mic, but there isn't a mute option under the slide. I tried moving the slide all the way down, but that didn't help. Any other ideas? I'm desperate!!!!!!! Need communication during game!! Thanks

Audigy 2ZS Digital

Just would like a confirmation on this...
If you connect the Audigy 2ZS digital out to a standard stereo reciever (sony) digital coax in it will not damage the reciever?
Sounds silly but I know the digital out is meant for connection to propietary creative lab speakers, and I have read that connecting it to other devices can damage them.
Also I should use a regular small "headphone" jack to connect to the digital out on the audigy 2ZS? This should be a mono cable also?
Please help.. thanks!!!
If you can link to the cable/adaptor I would need that would be great!Message Edited by asharabi98 on 05-29-2006 :23 AM

Any stereo cable with jack on one end and RCA conenctors at the other is fine. It will not damage the receiver. Something like this (use one of the RCA only - I think is the white one for front speakers):

Read the FAQ about digital connection and be prepared to have only stereo sound in games because Creative soundcards cannot send surround sound from games over digital connection.
