Audigy (1) no subwoofer sound with 5.1 speak

Hi There,
I`ve bought an audigy card (sb0090) on ebay and it came without cd.
So i downloaded the driver i`ve found on the creative website and have now installed :AUD_EAX4DRV_0303.exe
AUD_WEBUP_PCWDRV_-84-40.exe
AudCon_PCApp_LB__20_23.exe
My 5. Speaker system(analog) is connectet in the right order (subwoofer+center on the digital out) but all i can get is the centre speaker , the subwoofer doesen`t make anything.(the other speaker sound normal)
Is this a hardware prob or can i help it with some software i don`t have?
For example the creative surround mixer?
I`dont hope the card is defekt.
Please help!!
Imilan

Oh im very sorry the problem is solved, the subwoofer does its work, i had to make the sound louder to here a difference....(all is differnt to my old soundcard)
im very sorry pleas delete this post!!

Audigy 2 ZS ------ No sound with games when choosing EAX 2 or EA

Got problems with Audigy 2 ZS besides those mentioned above, pc keeps crashing during games.
Windows doesn't recognise the driver even though i have the latest drivers. Disabled onboard Audio, but still no progress. To get sound with games have to choose other sources.
Any ideas?

Sounds like an IRQ conflict. Change the PCI Slot in which you have your card installed.

Audigy ls and no sound with Windows media playe

I have an audigy ls and can play music with winamp, and dvd's with power dvd. However, when i receive audio/video clips via email, i am not able to get audio when i play the clips with windows media player 9. The video works fine. the trouble shooter tells me taht there is no hard ware installed or the device is being used by another program or the device is not functioning properly. i get error codes 0xC00DBA: Cannot play the file and Condition ID = 0x00000000. Anyone have any suggestions? Thank you, Sid

Thanks Jeremy,
However, when i try to play MP3's that i can play on winamp, I receive the same error messages as I mentioned above. I know that the MP3's are good... I can play them on winamp without problems. And I've been able to convert them ot WAV files and burned them on CD-R's and they ahve worked fine. the problems seems to be between media player and the sound card/drivers.

Inspire T7700 7.1 + Audigy 2 ZS - NO SOUND IN REAR LEFT SPEAKER

can u help me please? after a new position of my speakers my rear left speaker didn`t work.i try all
i try 2 change this speaker in other position(center, left, right...) all fine ,but when i put in rear left this and other speakers don`t work((((((( what can i do??
win xp sp 2

Unplug the minijack connectors (orange, green, black, and gray/white) from the subwoofer's amp. Leave them connected to the soundcard. Plug the green connector into the minijact port that's meant for the rear speakers. This should make the sound meant for the front come from the rear instead.
Now play some music or run some tests. Does the Rear Left speaker work? If so, then it's a software problem. You would just have to wait for an update or you could try uninstalling the drivers (run CTZAPZZ.exe on the driver CD; in Drivers directory) and reinstalling them and the updates.
If it still does not work, then it sounds like a problem with the amplifier in the subwoofer. In this case, you'd have to return the speakers for repair.

Audigy 2 ZS - REAR sound comes from FRONT speak

This is an odd one.
My "surround sound" is busted. All sound meant for the rear speakers come out of the front speakers, even in the "Test Speakers" control panel where it says each channel. The ONLY place this works from is in the Speaker Calibration control panel, where it plays the test sounds and has you adjust the volume/balance between the LR/FB/center channels - the test music plays properly there - but that's the ONLY place.
My setup used to work - and as far as I know nothing has changed, except maybe an updated SB driver.
Any ideas?

Just updated to the latest drivers and this is exactly what is happening to me. Anyone ever come up with a fix?
With the help of another user, I figured it out.
Do you by chance have a Logitech QuickCam Pro camera? If so, it is setting the audio hardware acceleration setting to "Basic". It can't be restored to Full without unplugging the camera, setting it to Full, then rebooting, or disabling the camera's automatic echo cancellation function.
I hope this helps!

Audigy 2 ZS - Stereo Sound Only When Testing Speaker Setti

I am running Windows XP SP2 and have a Logitech Z-5500 hooked up through a co-ax connection. I had?no sound problems until I?ran Creative Auto Update and updated the recommended software (Creative Media Source Player 5.0.38 and driver version 5.2.4.96) yesterday. While I am still able to hear?5. channel DVD's through all my speakers, when I run the Creative Speaker settings software, I only hear sound from my front left and right speakers.
I only get sound through the centre channel when watching TV, which?echoes. ?I tried running system restore to get back to my previous drivers, but the system was unable to restore itself. Any help would be appreciated.

Forgot to add, all of my speakers are in working order, I have individually tested them. I have set my 7.1 system up before in my old apartment, it's just not working this time. Thanks again.

Yes it is called trying to install the wrong driver for your card. Will work much better if you try installing the correct one,

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)

Is Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 NX USB sound card compatible with Dell deskt

Im considering buying the Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 NX USB sound card to use with a Dell desktop XPS 40, but recently read a forum message on another page that there was a issue with installing on a Dell Tower but no problems with installing on a laptop
any help is appreciated if there are any compatibility issues with using this sound card on a Dell desktop, Thanks
the main reason I would like to upgrade to this card is so my pc doesnt use the integrated audio which Id like better quality performance with a sound card and also dont want to install a internal card on the system

joaolfb,
Audigy 2 NX will need to be connected with the power adaptor inorder to run. USB will not be enough to sustain the power consumption of the sound card.

Subwoofer Problem with Audigy Pla

I recently bought a Speedlink Medusa 5. Headset, which is connected to the soundcard through 3 analog wires. Now the front- /rear- and centerspeaker are working fine, but I can't seem to get the subwoofer working with _any_ driver supplied by Creative for the Soundblaster Audigy Player. The headset itself should be ok, as it works perfectly (=> including subwoofer) with the kX drivers (after enabling "Use Subwoofer Output" and "Bass Redirection") and on the fly with the onboard soundcard of my mobo (CMI976).
I tried to enable "Bass Redirection" in the (latest) Surround Mixer app, but the setting doesn't seem to have any effect on the functionality of the subwoofer. The only effect I got was less bass when I set the frequency higher, so at least the splitting works.
Using kX is not an option, because it doesn't support EAX and AC3 decoding is still buggy. With the onboard solution I can't connect my TV card, plus it eats a lot of cpu time.
Now, do I have to buy a new soundcard for the functionality I paid about 75. for years ago?

i MUST REMOVE THE AUDIGY 4 to play the games and sent to third world as present...
Anyone can support me?
I think it's the TRUST 800 DV PCI KIT fireware 400/800 that goes in conflict with Audigy..MAYBE (but i need it for hd fw)? Anyhelp?

Distorted user sounds with Audigy BETA driv

Not sure where to post this except here - let me know if there's a better place.
I installed the Audigy BETA drivers to use with my Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro and Vista Premium 32 using the 4. output with CMSS.
I found that the system sounds worked fine but the wavs that I added myself - "You've got new mail" etc - distorted heavily.
After spending some time on this I found that the "cause" was that Vista's built-in sounds are all recorded in stereo and the wavs that I was using were mono. Editting the samples to create pseudo-stereo (I used Audacity) solved the problem.
I thought that this might be useful info if anyone else has the same problem.

I have this same problem with the beta drivers and I am using X-Fi Xtrememusic. All my mono desktop wavs are distorted. Even my Xfire "Click" to let me know a friend has signed on is all static (must be a mono sound as well) What gives Why would Mono files cause this static
Just to add a note: These same files will play fine through the Windows Media player.
Another Note: The Text to Speech feature must be in mono, because this is also distorted. People that leave and enter my vent use the TTS and it is all distorted. Any way to make this stereo Or do we know why mono would be distorted

Audigy 2 ZS notebook sound card compatible with Lenovo X6

I have to admit I probably made a mistake for rushing to?EBAY to get a creative Audigy 2 ZS notebook sound card, which?is intended to be used for my Lenovo X6t tablet pc. The problem is I just did some research and found my PCMCIA driver "RICOH R/RL/5C476(II)" is sitting?on their list of incompatibility.
Do anyone have any experience on this matter? It is true it really will not work?
Please help.

Simple problem... The soundcard is playing a sound appx. second after the sound is actually supposed to play. When I take out the card, everything is fine. Anyone know the fix? Thanks.
Do you mean you can hear the sound even Audigy is not connected? --> if yes, then just disable the onboard sound (from BIOS or/and device manager).
If you're playing some external instrument (etc.) or from some audio/media player then, it's latency question --> try w/ ASIO (you need to cahnge to the advanced mode) latency set around 0ms or decrease buffer size on playback software.

No DTS sound with movi

I already read the other threads about DTS problems but it didn't solve my problem. I have an Audigy 2 ZS gamer card, an ATI All-In-Wonder 9800 Pro, a Sony DVD dri've, Logitech 5. speakers which I hav connected to the sound card properly, plent of RAM and Athlon 64 3500+. My main problem shows up in two ways, first I have a DVD that cleans the lens and also does other sound and video tests, on my home theatre system the 5. sound tests works great playing sound out if each speaker and the subwoofer, but when I play it on my computer I only get sound from the front three speakers. Also, when playing movies I get sound when I choose the 5. DD setting but I get no sound when I choose the DTS setting. I went into Audio HQ and both DD 5. and DTS are activated. I don't even know for sure if I am getting true Dolby Digital 5. when I watch movies. Sound comes out of all the speakers when I watch a movie in 5. and also on the speaker tests in the Audio HQ. I have two DVD players, the InterActual one that comes with a lot ov DVD's, and the ATI player that came with the all-in-wonder card. I noticed that when I go to the sound options on the ATI DVD player it gives me a few options, either decode and downmix to 2 speakers or Pass through to an audio device where it gives me options of two different ATI audio devices but no creative. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

I believe that if you do not have either a hardware decoder or a software decoder,Intervideo DVD 6 Platinum or Cyberlink Power DVD you will be unable to listen to DTS,certification of Dolby,DTS,or THX only means that it's compatible with that format and the proper equipment

Sound blaster audigy 2 zs platinum sound probl

Ok So let me give you the specs on my computer first,?Windows xp home editionAbit IN9 32 MAX Mobo2 Gigs corsair xms ram2 8800ultra sli gpusLogitech?z-5300 SpeakersSound blaster audigy 2 zs platinum sound card2 Samsung 500 gig HD?I dont believe that my problem is the same as is in the crackling sound thread. So here is my dilema. Up untill about 4 days ago everything was working fine with my sound system. I have the Logitech speakershooked up to my audigy 2 zs along with my xbox 360 in the optical in on the front plate. So like i said about 4 days ago i started playing a movie on my computer and i have the ac3 codec installed on my computer with comunity codec pack and i know that you could say that those 2 things could be my problem i know enough to know that that probably isnt. So when i played the movie and when to the ac3 codec and turned on dolby decoding so that i would decode it to all my speakers everything worked fine. Then when i turned on spdif decoding my center speaker?started to crackle so i figured it was just becuase i was useing spdif and dolby decoding at the same time. so i turned that off and then went to go play my xbox 360 in which i have pluged into the optical in part on the front plate. Everything had always worked fine for that i have dolby digital decodeing on for the audigy. So i started to play a game i realized that i center speaker was crackling on there too. So i started to realize that no matter what i did the center speaker was crackling. I even changed out the center and sub stereo jack on the card for the front left and right and then they started to crackle in that spot. So i dont know what the hell is going on. Any help would be greatly appreciated i was thinking of restoring my computer but i dont know whether that is necessary. I also dont want to have to go out and by the x-fi elite pro tomarrow unless I absolutely have to.Message Edited by TasteOfChaos on 0-0-20080:02 PM

I am brand new to this message system but I am so desperate for help I thought I would try it. After reading lots of comments I find that my problem may be more the rule than the exception. I have an Audigy @ Platinum card and all I ever get from it is crackling and popping. I have been around and around with Creative support but nothing they tell me results in a fix. I am so disgusted at this point that I am ready to just trash the whole thing. I have gone through the BIOS and checked so many settings its a shame. Still crackling and popping. I NEED SPECIFIC ANSWERS FROM SOMEBODY...not just the generic flip the wingle wangle to port xyz and move this to that. here has got to be an answer to this maddening problem. The other thing is that now I can't get my MIDI keyboard to play back. I must have turned something off in the set up process but now I have no idea what to do.
If anyone has any solid answers for me PLEASE come forward with them before I kill someone!

Creative Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro with onboard so

Hi everyone
I've just had the above card with no I/O module...just the card only.
The sound for me is awesome from my P5800 speakers....the one fly in the ointment is - as it doesn't have a mic input - I've had to enable the onboard sound but I cant get working.... I know that they can co-exist in the same machine as others on another forum I visit, have this set up...
With the audigy in the PC, the onboard soundmax drivers wouldn't install, so I had to pull the card and the onboard got recognised and everything worked ok...recording through mic no probs...
Before I re-installed the audigy, I checked windows sound settings and had recording set to the soundmax/onboard and the playback as being from the 'modem #0 line playback' as it was the only other option available, thinking that the audigy might pinch back the 'rights' after rebooting......it did....plus the recording, no problem I though,just put it back to the onboard....arrggh - no onboard available on the drop down box, it had disappeared.
The soundmax icon is still in the systray, but if I click on it, nothing happens at all...no errors, nothing!
My motherboard is the Asus k8v se deluxe....bit stuck now as what to try...any ideas?
Thanks if you can help.

Hi thanks for taking the time to reply
No - it's not there on the drop down now...re-slotting the audigy has made it disappear from the list of available devices, as I said though, the icon for Soundmax is still sitting in the systray and r/clicking it will invoke all of the options.....apart from 'Soundmax Control Panel'.....
