64 bit Sound Blas

I am trying out 64 bit'sXPpro/SP and have Audigy Sound Blaster?ZS 2 Platinum hardware?I asked Creative if they had a CD or a full download - no, they said, but there are updates. Ha,Ha! Yes driver and a few other?updates totalling?49 MB and many items. such as ?Creative Audio HQare not available. I tried then the installation of?the 32 bit version, then update those items available, including 64 bit driver. This showed the diagnostic was OK, but when trying to open Audio HQ, Sounds and Audio Devi'ves,pomptly get Cannot find the MMDriver. INF needed to install drivers. Copy the orginal file to System 32. Then tried to open Default Device and got meaassage Windows cannot execute SendVol32.exe. Use add/Remove to install. Well, not surprising that this was happening, but what does surprise me is that Creative seem to be totally uninterested in providing a full 60MB+ 64 bit download to sort this mess out.
I would just add that Creative auto update does not work in 64 bit IE/6/7 only in 32 bit versions.

What do you mean by 64-bit's
No there is currently no Sound Blaster, nor any other manufacturer, offering a PCI Express card.

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find a 64 bit sound card driver for the above!!
    Thanks
    Nick

    Did you first install the UAA driver from the same section? Check in Device Manager under System Devices to see if MS UAA installed properly.
    There should be a listing for Microsoft UAA Bus Driver for High Definition Audio.
    If not,you should have a PCI with yellow!.Right click it and Update Driver,No to Connect,No to Search and last Install Automatically.
    Reboot to check status.
    If no joy try this DRIVER

  • 24-bit sound

    Is it possible to play 24-bit sound with LabView using SO config SO write
    etc.?
    TM

    Of course I'm not sure what device you're talking about...
    But I looked into this one of these Soundblaster 5.1 cards as a possible
    cheap 24-bit alternative to the NI cards. When I called the creative labs
    developer support group and pressed them for information, they claimed that
    the card in question actually was normal 16-bit I/O and the 24-bit
    advertised on the box was only in some internal sections of the card.
    So in the end Labview only supported the 16-bit modes, but the soundcard
    specs were kind of deceptive anyway and I couldn't have done 24-bit
    acquisition. Double check with the developer support line for your hardware
    so you're not on a wild goose chase like I was.

  • 12 bit and 16 bit sound

    I have a camera that can use two audio inputs.
    Sony DSR-PD170. There is no
    When I use one mic, it records on both channnels. I assume this is 16 bit.
    When I use only both mics, one records on one channel, the second mic records on the other channel. I hope this is 16 bit also.
    How do I check ,in ImovieHD (5), whether the sound I have recorded is 12 or 16 bit sound?
    I hope this isnt a dumb question.

    Hi Dan
    Only dumb questions in my universe is questions not
    asked !
    One way to figur out is to load a eg one hour tape
    into iMovie.
    - sound in sync - should be 16-bit
    - sound going more and more out of sync - 12-bit
    Recording in LP-mode = 12-bit sound and lot's of
    other problems.
    Probably there are more clever way to get this but
    this is my exp.
    On my two Cameras I had to go to their menus and set
    16-bit audio.
    Yours Bengt W
    My little Canon had a 12/16 bit setting. This one does not.
    After reading a little further, I have two audio modes. FS32K(12bit) This allows recording on channels 3 & 4
    FS48K(16bit). Cannot record on channels 3&4.
    I hate learning new things.
    Thanks Bengt

  • R4388 Sound Blaster(R) Live!(TM) 24-bit Sound Card - Is it ASIO compati

    I am trying to configure my computer to allow my husband to run Sibelius (music software) on it. I am upgrading to GB RAM (using XP serv pack 2) and installing another 250GB hard dri've.But I am using the R4388 Sound Blaster(R) Li've!(TM) 24-bit Sound Card and according to the website of Sibelius I need the soundcard to be ASIO compatible, but I don't know if that is?Can anyone here help me, I'd really appreciate the help. I'm happy to upgrade my sound card if necessary.

    If your computer has any VIA chipset, and if your computer has any of the following problems, then you might need this driver.
    The computer stops ("freezes", "hangs", "locks up"), or makes unusual noises when playing sounds.</LI>
    The computer stops, or files are corrupted, when copying to or from an IDE DVD, CDROM, or CDRW dri've.</LI>
    Sounds played by the computer are distorted or have a "crackling" noise.</LI>
    The computer stops when playing 3D graphics or games, especially on an ATI Radeon series video card</LI>
    There is a patch for VIA chipset and the patch WORKS for me! Try them at - http://www.georgebreese.com/net/software/ Look under "PCI Latency" patch for VIA chipsets.

  • Vista 64 bit wont find sound blas

    Just that..after installing Vista all worked excepted it wont detect that i even have my sound blaster li've 5.plugged in..when i unplug it it detects my crappy onboard audio...that doesnt support 5. Is there something im doing wrong? how do i make windows see my audio card?

    You've definitely got the sound set to go out to your speakers (not optical/digital)? Check the defaults under the Sound set up panel (Type sound in the search box, it usually comes up as second option).

  • Windows 7 64 bit Sound Card Problem

    In January 2009, we had a 64 bit operating system problem http://forums.adobe.com/message/1015026#1015026. Our software, which was published using Version 6.5, was freezing on a customer’s computer on playing the first sound file, then if the sound file was by-passed, on displaying the first swf. The problem was eventually resolved by Mike Baker publishing our a6p file in Authorware 7, and this cured the fault. So we upgraded to Authorware 7.02 and since then no further problems ... until December 2010.
    We launched our Italian Course late November and had a not dissimilar sort of problem reported by a customer. He's tried uninstalling & re-installing the software but the fault keeps re-occurring. The computer displays a "not responding" message. Debugging, we discovered that the message appears when trying to play the initial mp3 file (fixed bit rate) … the program does eventually continue but without playing the sound file. It then keeps hanging (there are thousands of sound files in our course), and none of the sound files play: text & pictures are displaying normally. Eventually the program freezes and has to be killed with ctrl+alt+delete.
    The computer in question is a Dell Inspiron 580s, & the operating system Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. I’m awaiting details of the sound card & confirmation that his drivers are up-to-date but I presume they will be (Windows 7 default is to keep drivers updated). I haven’t got the customer to carry out basic tests sound file tests yet, but he indicates no problems with Media Player or with iTunes.
    Extras in our XTRAS folder include:-
    AWMP3.X32
    MIX32.X32
    MIXVIEW.X32
    NETFILE.X32
    SWADCMPR.X32
    VIEWSVC.X32
    INETURL.X32
    FLASHASSET/FLASHAST.X32
    The database for our Italian course is now in ProgramData. (previous courses, database was in Program Files and run in XP compatible mode). We’re having problems with this location with Windows 7 64 bit … it is maintaining a copy in Virtual Store and updating the file there. No such problem with XP, Vista or Windows 7 32 bit. I see this as an unrelated problem. We got the customer to run the software in XP mode but the problem was not corrected.
    We do have customers successfully running our software on Windows 7 64 bit operating system computers; we had a minor ODBC glitch reported recently from a 64 bit user.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Tom,
    I concur with Steve that this is probably system-specific. A couple of things you may want to try:
    1. Be sure you're using the Xtras that came with Authorware 7.02 and not 6.5. For example, I believe mixview.x32 and viewsvc.x32 were updated in Authorware 7.
    2. Try making a little AW program with 4 or 5 buttons that each trigger an imported MP3 file, where each audio file has different output settings (e.g. mono vs stereo, 64kbps vs. 92 kbps, etc.). Package it up and send it to the Dell user to test it. You may stumble upon an audio output setting that works on that particular machine.

  • Acquiring 24-bit sound with a third-party sound card... truncation issues.

    I am having a very strange problem when using LabVIEW to acquire audio
    data via the Windows API from a Creative Professional E-MU 1616m sound
    card.  The goal is to acquire sound in 24-bit resolution. 
    When capturing sound in 16-bit mode (as set in the LabVIEW software),
    the E-MU 1616m behaves as expected, with a 105dB SNR and approximately
    -130dB noise floor, after dithering.  However, when switching to
    24-bit capture mode, a very severe truncation occurs.  This sends
    the harmonic distortion and noise through the roof.  After
    investigating fairly deeply in our LabVIEW code, I am wondering what
    might be the problem.
    I have compiled a number of screenshots which showcase the problem in more detail.
    Here is a background of the experiment:
    For these tests, both the analog and digital audio was generated by an
    Audio Precision System Two system, and was passed directly into the
    respective line-level or digital audio inputs.  Digital audio was
    tested using both coax and optical cable.  In the sound card
    control software, the audio was sent directly from the input channel
    into the WAVE IN L/R (via the Windows API, I assume).  The
    sampling rate for the profile was 96kHz.
    The sampling rate in all LabVIEW functions was set to 96kHz.  The sample rate set in the AP Digital generator was 96kHz.
    ANALOG 20dBu 96kHz 16bit.jpg
    In this test, everything looks fine.  The audio input is at
    Full-scale for the E-mu's ADCs.  It is exhibiting expected 16-bit
    performance (with dithering).
    ANALOG 20dBu 96kHz 24bit.jpg
    Now we instruct the driver to capture sound in 24 bits.  Notice
    that the noise floor and THD+N go up considerably.  Effects of
    truncation become visible on the time-domain display.
    ANALOG -20dBu 96kHz 16bit.jpg
    Now we drop the input level to -20dBu.   The performance
    starts to look a little messy but is still acceptable.  Note,
    however, the high peaks on the odd harmonics.
    ANALOG -20dBu 96kHz 24bit.jpg
    Now we try to capture at 24 bits.  The effects of truncation are extreme at this low signal level.
    ANALOG -60dBu 96kHz 16bit.jpg
    Now we are at extremely low signal levels.  Individual
    quantization levels can be seen on the signal.  Dither is also
    present.  Performance is still good.
    ANALOG -60dBu 96kHz 24bit.jpg
    However, when increasing the resolution to 24 (which should increase
    the number of quantization levels), our signal is reduced to a square
    wave.  Obviously something is wrong.
    DIGITAL 0dB 16bit 96kHz 16bit.jpg
    Now on to the digital tests.  We start with full-scale.  We
    used an AP outputting a properly dithered 16-bit signal over an optical
    cable.  The soundcard is instructed to receive in 16 bit
    mode.  It looks good.
    DIGITAL 0dB 16bit 96kHz 24bit.jpg
    Using the same input, we change to 24 bit receive mode. 
    DIGITAL 0dB 24bit 96kHz 16bit.jpg
    Now we set up the AP to output a properly dithered 24-bit signal at
    full-scale.  The dips in the frequency domain show us that
    something is wrong.
    DIGITAL 0dB 24bit 96kHz 24bit.jpg
    Receiving in 24-bit mode.  Same story as before.
    DIGITAL -90dB 16bit 96kHz 16bit.jpg
    Now we decrease the amplitude to a low level.  Well-implemented dither is shown here clearly.
    DIGITAL -90dB 16bit 96kHz 24bit.jpg
    However, receiving in 24-bit mode reduces the signal to a dithered square wave.
    DIGITAL -90dB 24bit 96kHz 16bit.jpg
    Here is the low-level signal with the AP generating a 24-bit
    signal.  Dither is applied, but vanishes in the e-mu 1616m. 
    It seems the dither level has been changed.  This is the cause of
    our dips from before.
    DIGITAL -90dB 24bit 96kHz 24bit.jpg
    And finally, we transmit and receive in 24-bits.  Here are the results.
    We have achieved similar results using several of your breakout boxes and soundcards.
    Attached are all screenshots, as well as the main VI (AP Test.vi) and
    the dependent vi's.  There are a number of SVT vi's in the
    project, but they can be ignored since they are not related to the
    problem.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Best Regards,
    Brett Gildersleeve

    Hi Brett,
    I took a look at the code you attached, but it appears that you may have left out the subvi that actually acquires the sound. When you say Windows API, I assume that you are calling a DLL at some point. How are you configuring the inputs (or what function are you using)? It could be (and this is just a guess) that when you specify 24 bits, the DLL returns the data in a very specific format. If you don't interpret the bits that are returned correctly, LabVIEW may not know what to do with them, as LabVIEW does not have a native 24-bit datatype. If there is any documentation for these function calls, our answer might there...
    Just some thoughts -- thanks for posting your solution!

  • Converting 12-bit sound to 16-bit

    Hello, I've run into the 12-bit bug in iDVD that causes imported sound to drop out. Short of exporting back to the camera and re-importing in 16-bit is there any other way to convert, perhaps with software (free/shareware?)

  • Problems Importing 24 bit Sound Files

    Hello, in both PrPro and Soundbooth I'm having some real difficulty importing some wonderful music recorded in 48k, 24 bit format.  Here is a screenshot containing some information about the file:
    I am able to play this music on the little QuickTime music player (shown above), but cannot import into anything in the Adobe suite. 
    There is a menu setting in Soundbooth about selecting either 16 bit format or 32 bit format.  Since this was recorded in 24 bit format, I think that may be important.
    In PrPro, I get a message "File format not supported". 
    The screenshot above describes it as a "Sound Designer II" "kind" of file.  The fellow recorded it on some old, old Apple equipment.
    Is there a way I can import this footage into Soundbooth or PrPro with a minimum of generation loss from any file conversion?
    Is there another type of workaround?
    I'm reluctant to trouble him for a redo.   24 bit was the highest he could go on his equipment.
    Thanks for your help,
    Matt Dubuque

    Thanks Colin,
    I downloaded the program and I note that in its preferences it asserts that the maximum spectrogram display level is 8kHz. 
    Does this mean that I have a high bandpass filter at 8000 Hz and anything above that is cut off?  I would be pretty reluctant to go that route because this film seems likely to be shown in a theatre and quite a few of us can hear above that pitch.
    On the other hand, the playback sounds pretty good, so perhaps this is just a VIDEO output display limitation of the original audio waveform that may actually be from 20Hz to 20KHz for example.
    Any thoughts on that?
    Also, Memory is of no concern, only fidelity and resolution and probably conformance to an RIAA curve or close to it.
    Given that, of the three file types you mentioned, WAV, PCM, or AIFF, is it true that .wav. would offer the highest fidelity, irrespective of memory required to store it?
    Thanks!

  • No Digital Decoder or option to use optical digital ports X-FI PCIe sound blas

    Hi,I'm new to this board and I just got the new Soundblaster X-FI PCI express card. I'm dual booting both 32 and 64 bit versions of Windows XP and I don't seem to have any access to my digital optical ports. I dont have the doby digital decoder tabs in the sound settings on either windows or the Creative software. I'm a bit confused as I thought that would have installed when I ran the setup from the disk. I feel kind of dumb since im going to assume something either didnt install right or I might have to download something. I know the card has to support digital audio as it has the ports so maybe something is not set right? I tried doing a search but couldnt find anything specific to my problem. Thanks in adavance,SDB

    Well, after a more detailed search I have found out that the Creative Labs PCI express X-Fi xtreem audio sound card can not decode DTS or Dolby. I was confused as I didnt know it didnt have that ability. Poop. I have to say that it might behoove Creative to make that clear on their website as I would have bought a better one had I known. Otherwise the card is awsome and I'm just going to have to pay the restocking fee but at least I can get most of my money back from where I got it. Seriously, I should have done a better job at doing my homework. I'll probably get another X-Fi card cux it sounds awsome with my new creative 7. speakers. Just wish I had known before hand. Anyway, maybe this will be helpful to other people.

  • Recording vinyl to MP3 with Sound Blas

    Hi All,
    I'm a bit of a technophobe so please be kind.
    I've just bought a Sound Blaster to record my vinyl into MP3s and I am having a bit of difficulty. The problem being my turntable has two leads coming from it (one red and one white) and there is only one 'Line In'. I've tried with just the red lead from the turntable into the Sound Blaster and just the white lead - it records the song and downloads it into an MP3 but on play back there is no sound. One thought is that I need to somehow get both the red and white lead into the Sound Blaster at the same time - a cable that connects those leads and di'verts them into one lead into the Sound Blaster - will this help with the sound?
    Thanks for your patience,
    John

    Depends on soundblaster model and turntable system you have there but normally, you need
    - a phono pre-amp w/ RIAA sage between the turntable and soundcard ... and
    - a 2 x RCA to stereo mini jack adapter/cable to connect the turntable/pre-amp into soundcard
    RIAA EQ needed for vinyls can be done by the software as well but, as the recording levels you get are maybe too low (though, this can be fixed by adding gain using software) I suggest, if needed, you either get an external phono pre-amp ($30-$xxxxxx) or connect the turntable using the tape or aux I/O on your stereo system (if there is one). This is done by connecting the PC into your Hi-Fi system as you would connect a cassette deck ... and use exact same settings for recording from turntable using PC as you do when record using cassette deck.
    Some instructions over using software based RIAA EQ -

    I think you get best results by using the 48kHz version + Voxengo recorder.
