ASIO drivers for Audigy 2 SZ Video Edi

Hi All,
I've read as much information as I could get available about the new Video Editor. It seems like a "best of both worlds" combination between a video and an audio specialized cards.
One thing I noticed on the product description is that ASIO drivers, which are proeminently featured in the descriptions of other Audigy 2 ZS cards, are not even mentioned in the Video Editor.
Any one knows if this is just an omission, or does the V.E. not support ASIO in fact?
I ask because I'm considering getting a V.E. for video capture, but also as a sound board for music creation. I don't need the Wavetable Synth integrated in all the 2 ZS, or the MIDI ports of the 2 ZS Platinum or Platinum Pro, but ASIO support is important to ensure low latency monitoring.
While we're at it, does any one already has some usage experience with the Video Editor, specially as a sound board? (I expect the video part would be quite good)
thanks and regards,
jos?

Hi again,
I've just found some relevant info in the knowledge base:
Solution ID # 2378 ASIO - General Information and Essential Troubleshooting...
Which Creative cards support ASIO2.0?
SoundBlaster Audigy 2 Platinum eX*, and Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS series...
But I expect this info (unfortunately, not date, that I could see) is previous to the quite recent issuing of the 2 ZS Video Editor in the market, so I'm still stuck with this question? Does the V.E. offer support for ASIO?
regards,
jos?

Windows Professional x64 Support for Audigy 2 ZS Video Edi

Is there some reason why the Video Editor isn't x64 compatible yet?

For Video Blaster Editor ... we are currently taking steps to insure it runs under 32-bit Vista.
Regarding Vista and Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor ... here are some tips from another user. [I am going to answer every query on this thread with these instructions ... so you'll be sure to see them quite a bit]:
I have used the follwoing procedure to install a working configuration of the Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor in a clean install of Vista Ultimate.
() Download from Creative Labs (US) site: http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/ the following files:
(a) Creative Sound Blaster USB Series Windows Vista Driver .00.0060 - USBVS_PCDRV_LB__00_0060.exe (from the Vista section)
(b) VidCap for Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor .00.000 - A2VX_PCVDE_L9__00_000.exe (from the WinXP section)
(2) Use WinZip or WinRAR to open the file (b) and extract the folders \DrvInst and \Vidcap into your Vista Downloads folder.
(3) Connect the Video Editor to the power supply and a video source; connect the USB cable to your PC. Ignore the "Found NEw Hardware" dialog that pops up.
(4) Doubleclick on file (a) to install the Creative Sound Blaster USB Series Windows Vista Driver, and follow prompts as required; accept all defaults. After install is complete, let the PC reboot.
(5) After rebooting, in the "Found New Hardware" dialog that appears, select the options to search for a driver, don't go online to search, browse for a driver and point the search at the \DrvInst folder you extracted in (2) above. The USB video driver will be installed from the \DrvInst\Video\Driver\Win2k.
(6) After the video driver is installed, doubleclick on the Setup.exe file in the \Vidcap folder you extracted in (2) above to install the Vidcap application.
(7) Setup the options in Vidcap, and run a test recording.
Happy capturing under Vista.

Please Help:(,Unable to capture from camcorder using Audigy 2 ZS Video Edi

Hi there! Well I have been trying to use the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 zs video editor to transfer Hi8 tapes from my camcorder (Samsung SLC860) to my laptop (Compaq presario, AMD Athlon 64 3200+, .25 GB RAM, xp). I have successfully done this before *sort of*. Before i was able to capture video from my camcorder without the sound. But now I cant even capture video! I get an error when using Ulead VideoStudio 8 SE reading: 5065:29:0. Please help, anything would be great! Thank you! Oh, i've tried reinstalling the drivers already, didnt work. P.S. I connect the camcorder to the Creative Audigy using S-Video. I have also tried A/V out from the camcorder to video-in on the Audigy. I have also downloaded VidCap and other driver updates from Creative but those didn't work either. I've tried VidCap other capture programs, none worked. Any help would be great. Thank you!

Hi there! Thanks for the reply, unfortunately, I've tried VidCap and it wont let me capture either. The Start button on Step 3 isn't acti've. Its not bold, and when i click on it nothing happens. But under device manager and Sound, Video and game controllers, there are alot of things. They are as followed: Audio Codecs, Legacy Audio Drivers, Legacy Video Capture Drivers, Media Control Devices, Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor Audio Device, Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor Video Device, SoundMAX Intergrated Digital Audio, Video Codecs. Do you think any of these could be interfering with one another? If so, which ones can be safely disabled? I've also tried downloading all the necessary updates for VidCap and I've even tried reinstalling the Audigy card many times. I am able to see the preview of the video on both programs VidCap and VideoStudio but I just can't capture. Once again, the error message on VideoStudio is: 5065:29:0. Thank you so much, hopefully I hear from ya soon and this can be fixed.

DTS and Dolby digital support in Vista for Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor

Hello, I own a SoundBlaster Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor with USB connection and would like to know when will be available a drivers for Windows Vista and Windows 7 where we have full support for using the Dolby Digital and DTS decoder, I mention because it seems that?this card is forgotten about the update of drivers and is a pity that it is?lack of the support.
Greetings and thanks in [email protected]

Sorry for not replying - have been away for the past few days.
Ok, so I go to Creative Device Control, and on the PCI/USB tab I've changed the sampling rate to 48khz.
It was previously at 44.kHz
The bit depth is still at 6bit
Now the problem seems to be solved.
The problem was only with the output from the device. And now there are no skips!!
Excellent!
Why has that solved it though?
I've read on other forums (head-fi) that the audigy cards do not run at 44.kHz nati'vely so the sound has to be downsampled.
Is that skipping an artefact of that downsampling process?
Will having that set at 48kHz, but recording to a 44.kHz 6bit wav file theoretically reduce the quality of the recording - compared to having it set at 44.kHz and recording a wav at 44.kHz?
On the SPDIF tab the input sample rate is shown as 44.kHz - as that's what is output by the DAC in my minidisc deck.
But when I changed the sampling rate on the PCI/USB tab, the SPDIF output sampling rate also changed to 48kHz.
This means if I wanted to record from the optical output, whilst also recording to the computer, and that device only supported 44.kHz - I can't do that?
You listed some main reasons to the truth, why Creative SB cards are not very popular on serious use (DAW). I.e. need for resampling. X-Fi's in creation mode are (least said to be) the only ones not resample everything.
There is a setting for "Bit-Accurate-Recording" (digital modes only) --> have you tried if that works on your recordings?

Is there a way to hear sounds in FF while using ASIO drivers for system audio ?

I'd like to be able to hear sounds from FF (audio /mp3 , audio from video ) when using music applications which perform better with ASIO drivers - ASIO4ALL.
At present I can only get audio out of FF if using system primary sound driver : when I switch to ASIO or ASIO4ALL I get audio from music apps, but lose audio in FF.
Is there a way to set the FF audio handler to pick up whatever the system is using for sound - or specifically to choose which installed sound drivers to work with ?
Thanks.

So in Windows 7 after opening control panel / sounds / playback , then selecting the appropriate playback device/ speakers, then properties / advanced , then deselecting "allow applications to take exclusive control of this device", the issue is fixed - ASIO through DAW software while audio playback continues in FF, if I use ASIO drivers supplied with sound hardware - UX1. First testing, though, shows this not working with ASIO4ALL - perhaps a Windows and not a FF issue ...

I assume you have installed the Creative drivers for your card --> you have then ASIO drivers installed too. You can find the driver DLL -file from winnt\system32 -folder (ctasio.dll). If you cant locate this file then just reinstall drivers / "update to latest ones".
In which program(s) are you trying to use ASIO drivers? Some programs, like common media players, Creative MediaSource player, etc. just can't find them because of lack of support.
If you want to use ASIO drivers with a mediaplayer, you need, for example, WinAmp 5 or Foobar2k with asio -plugin, or Native Instruments Traktor BeatPort Player (native support).
If you want to use ASIO with another type of software like Cubase, Sonar, WaveLab, etc. you just need to select/activate ASIO driver from 'their' audio settings panels.

Windows 7 no longer recognizes or allows ASIO drivers for my usb audio interfaces

Hello All, last year I purchased a new version of Propellerheads Reason and the Balance digital audio interface that came with the bundle.
Everything was fine it all worked well, especially when I added asio4all drivers. (The Balance comes with its own asio driver).
Super low latency on my keyboard and midi guitar. I was using my midi guitar and set up at jams for several months last year and it was great!
One day I was getting ready for the jam session and I noticed that the latency on my midi guitar became so bad that I could not play in time with the other musicians.
I checked out the preference/audio page in Reason and saw that my asio drivers were missing! I immediately went and down loaded asio4all again and installed it. It would show up in any of my music software. I have tried removing and re-installing
the stock ASIO driver that came with Balance and no luck.
I suspect that shortly before this huge problem ( my music software is basically useless without asio drivers) I allowed a windows update to my system.
I think that somehow during one of these "updates" something changed and windows 7 no longer allows asio drivers on my computer. This really sucks!
Is there some way to get rid of the offending "update" that ruined my music system?
Thanks in advance!
Don

Thank you for your response FangZhou Chen, unfortunately this problem started last fast, possible early November so I can't do a restore that far back.
my best,

Drivers for audigy 2 va

I ordered my soundblaster audigy 2 value from a reputable online vendor and received the goods through the post today. However the driver cd had a hefty crack right in the middle, rendering it completely useless.
No problem I thought, I'll just download the drivers from the creative site. Three hours later I'm sitting here writing this in sheer disbelief that I cant find a single driver for love or money.
Let me just say its the first time in all my years of experience I have been unable to find the required drivers for a piece of hardware.
Do these drivers exist anywhere online, or do I have to waste god knows how long sorting it out with my retailer? I sincerely hope somebody can point me in the right direction, because frankly this is a ridiculous state of affairs that could have been sorted out in minutes if Creative had the same level of product support offered by practically every one of their competitors.

I had made a similar post previously, and if you read these forums, it seems a lot of people are being inconvenienced by not having available stand-alone drivers. I bit the bullet and paid for an installation cd to be shipped to me, and it seems you might need to do the same. To bad writing drivers is not an easier process!

Having problems with installion process of Creative's Audigy 2 SZ Video Edi

I have HP DV8000 laptop and it's parts are:AMD Turion 64 (Mobile Processor)Windows XPATI Radeon Xpress 200M?Basically, the factory preset for the laptop. I am trying to install my Audigy 2 SZ Video Editor, but I cannot, because my computer doesn't recognize it after I connect via USB 2.0 and then install the software. It's strange, because when I plug it via USB (Audigy 2 SZ Video Editor), immediately it recognizes has a Generic USB Hub and then it says, "New Hardware ready to be install;" then, I turn the power on. It now responses with, "Sound Blaster Audigy 2 SZ Video Editor, but then says, "Problem occurred during the installion," and what not after that. My problem is that, I cannot install my Audigy 2 SZ Video Editor at all after I repeatly tried as it follows through the instruction manual and did the opposite order by letting Windows install it itself and then with the software. I installed every download for this device in Creative's website on both methods, but no luck?What am I doing wrong?Please help...

Can you tell me if you have ever been successful with this ... or if you still have the install problem. (Hopefully you've running SP2)
And please move this to the Video forum ... which I monitor regularly.
Thx,
Chris

After Win XP repair creative drivers for Audigy 2 not loading correctly

? ?I have read every FAQ I can find on this including http://support.creative.com/kb/ShowArticle.aspx?sid=287. Which we have tried.
?It's my friends system...so some I am getting by phone...
Friend had something happen to his XP Pro...would not boot(just black screen with cursor and hourglass). He brought it home from repair shop and noticed he was missing his Creative volume control (Which he used to be able to right click and pick a bunch of utilities for calibrating 5. etc.)
We tried uninstalling Creative software and reinstalling...upon reboot, several error messages would pop up (CTRegsvr.reg error, Program could not load because Plxcore.plx cannot be found) would pop up 5 or six times.
The sound works and he appears to be getting 5. surround...he just cannot use any Creative tools or diagnostics.

Ok ill mention the version of the b... drivers as they are called in the download section[url="http://support.creative.com/downloads/welcome.aspx#"> [/url]

The fact that you dont sprcify the WHQL certification status fools people. I wouldnt have installed this drivers if there would have been stated that they are in fact non WHQL certified ,this meaning some kind of betas.
Is it so hard to finish this new drivers and realease them finished ?

Problems with latest drivers for Audigy 2

Here is my problem: I have tried several times to install the newest drivers. However my sound card doesn't install correctly. I dl'ed the drivers and the dvd-audio .exe thinking the dvd-audio is what I needed. It wasn't. The dvd-audio program gives me a error message saying no device is found. Going into the control panel --> sounds and audio settings, shows I have no device installed. Likewise in the device manager the little yellow "!" is there, and windows says multimedia audio controller, nothing more. However, if you try to install drivers, you will get a message saying drivers for the device are there, and will be uninstalled to continue installation. Um, what gives? Am I doing something wrong? The original drivers work and so do the beta AL drivers but the latest I can't get to work.... :smileyindifferent:

The card should have come with a CD. Did you contact your supplier or the store where you got the card, to see if they have the CD for you?
