Audigy 1 with Audigy 2 ZS Frontpa

Hey guys, i have a question:
I have a Creative Soundblaster Audigy (SB0090)
but i don't have a Frontpanel to connect Headset and stuff.
BUT i got a frontpanel from a friend. But it is a Frontpanel
from a Audigy 2 ZS. So here is my Question:
Is ist possible to use this Frontpanel (from the Audigy 2 ZS)
with a Creative Audigy (SB0090)?
greetings, Mr.Gambler

Is it really not compatible, or do you say that only because
you want me to buy a new Soundcard with Panel?

Just need 1/8 inch to RCA for digital coax out with audigy se right?

DJust need /8 inch to RCA for digital coax out with audigy se right? Hi there,
I need a low profile soundcard that can deli'ver digital 5. through either coax or optical, looks like the audigy se will do just that. I have a yamaha receiver with DTS, DD, etc with a coax input that I want to use. I want to confirm that all I really need is a cable that has an /8 inch plug for the blue digital out on the soundcard with an RCA end for my receiver.... sounds simple enough to me but I want to make sure. I know I can get the digital I/O module but don't see a point if I just need the cable I mentioned.
Thanks.

Let's take Battlefield 242 for example. The game will not allow me to specify hardware sound.
That would be because that card DOES NOT have any hardware on it, it is a totally software dri'ven card.
And yes your old Li've card is much better than the Audigy SE. The Audigy SE is nothing more than a re-named SB Li've 24 bit, which is also a software based card (same applies to the X-Fi Xtreme Audio, a POS card that should have never been given the X-Fi name).

Frustrated with Audigy 2zs drivers

"Frustrated with Audigy 2zs drivers\ Hi,
I really need some help with drivers for my Aud 2 ZS Plant card as i am very frustrated. A couple of months ago I reformatted my HD and subsequently re-installed all my drivers. When I was ready to install my soundcard drivers\software I could not find my installization disc as I moved to a new place 6 months ago and I guess they got lost in the unpacking. Since then I have tried to find drivers for my card and in the process have?used 3rd party drivers ie. KX, PAX, and daniel_k but could not get them working or they (KX) were hard to understand. Anyway, I am to the point now that I just want to have sound with functioning software where I can get back to doing some hobbyist home recording as I did before with orginal drivers. In saying that, can anyone please point me in the direction to find the most up to date drivers for my card? Iam running WIN XP Pro sp3. I am to the point now that I want to take the card and front dri've bay out of my system, chuck it, and go and buy a $20.00 generic card.
Help would be much appreciated.

If you want the latest drivers I'd use Dan K's if I were. None of the old software works with the latest drivers so you're kinda stuffed. Dan K's are based on the 2.8.000 drivers which are the second to latest drivers available. Don't use the 2.8.00 drivers - they cause more problems than they solve.
Before installing any more drivers/software it might be an idea to make sure there's nothing left of any previous drivers you've tried to install. Could be what's causing the problems.
This is how I remove my drivers. May seam a little convoluted but in your case it may prove useful to be as thorough as possible.
You'll need Driver Sweeper, and CCleaner, 7Zip and Dan K's Audigy Support Pack 2.0 (if you don't already have them).
Download these and install; Driver Sweeper, CCleaner and 7Zip.
Now you need to extract all the files out of Dan K's support pack, which should be an *.exe file. You need what's inside that *.exe file. After installing 7Zip, you should see a new 7Zip options menu when you right click on files or folders?
Click on it and then select Extract files to Audigy Support Pack... or something similar. Don't just select Extract files.
Inside the new folder that should have appeared after 7Zip extracted everything, you'll see another folder named Drivers.
Copy this folder to your desktop.
Now reboot and start Windows in safe mode.
Click Start then Run and type cmd.exe to open a command prompt, then type (minus quotes):
" takeown /f C:\Windows\*.cdf " and hit enter, then:
" cacls C:\Windows\*.cdf /G *insert your logon name*:F " and select Y and hit enter again.
You can now close down that command prompt window.
Go in to the Drivers folder you copied to your desktop and run Setup.exe and this should appear:
<img border="0" src="http://theliability.googlepages.com/creative_uninstaller.png">
Select the same options as above and click OK and let it do it's thing - when it says reboot your PC click No or Cancel.
Now run Driver Sweeper and do a scan for all Creative drivers then click Clean.
Don't worry if it says things like file doesn't exist or some other error msg. It'll still get a few things.
No load up Add or Remove Programs (personally I prefer Revo Uninstaller) and remove anything related to Creative.
Finally load CCleaner and scan/clean your registery.
Reboot back in to normal Windows.
And that's it. A tedious process I know, but it's the only way I've found of properly stripping CLs drivers out.
You'll know if it's worked because when you now go and install Dan K's pack the installer should just run straight through. When there's still driver remnants the installer always says it's found previous drivers and need to uninstall them and reboot.
tbh I recommend running through this process regardless of wether or not your choose to stick with the old drivers or go with the newer ones.
Creative's drivers are infamous i'm afraid and at least after this your PC should be relati'vely clear or remnants.

Replace Soundblaster 5.1 with Audigy 2

I am going to replace the Soudblaster Li've 5. that shipped with my Dell last year with Audigy 2 ZS. Will my Creative Inspire 5200 speakers work ok? Will the woofer volume adjust work? The woofer volume adjust does not work for the Dell OEM product which for some music is just awfull because the woofer is far too loud?

HJ,
It should work just fine with the 5200's and in 5. mode you will have the option to adjust the bass volume (however the bass boost will be grayed out)

Help with Audigy 2 not being fo

Short story: 'Puter C dri've died. Had to put in another and reinstall Windows XP Home. Can't get the Audigy 2 card recognized. Not sure if I have the correct disc. (I love to upgrade and have too many discs.) The discs I have are for Audigy and Audigy 2 ZS. Will either of those work with the Audigy 2 (not ZS) or am I missing a disc? If I am missing the disc how can I get those files? And if it should work, could my Audigy have died, too? Appreciate the help.

If you lost the CD you find it station-drivers, you just extract them (using winrar) and execute the application mentioned above (can be found on ..\Drivers\support\i386 -folder if you have 32-bit system). Select installation (eg. no uninstallation needed), and allow installation over existing shared files.

Problem with Audigy 2 Platinum Front Panel Input

0Problem with Audigy 2 Platinum Front Panel Input? Hey everyone,
Here's the background of the issue. I got a PS3 over the holidays for literally free
I had my computer out in a testbed style. Plugged the PS3 into my monitor HDMI --> DVI cable, and Red/White into the front RCA jacks of the Front Panel (Aux 2). As soon as I plugged in the cable, I got sound out of my speakers and was able to enjoy my PS3 in 720p
I put all of the components back into the case after cutting exhause and intake fan holes. I brought everything back to school, fired up the PC and PS3. Lo and behold, there is no more sound from the PS3. I know that PS3s are temperamental in moving, but I hooked the audio up to my TV and the sound came out just fine. The AD Ext cable looks like it's secure and in place. When I hooked up a mic and headphones to the front, they worked fine as well. However it seems to be just the AUX 2 RCA inputs that dont work anymore. Any ideas about how to fix this issue? Is there a function I have to turn on now in the software to allow sound to pass through? Any information would be wonderful!? I'm going to try an optical cable in the near future, just need to borrow one from a friend =/

Problem Solved.
I had moved my cards around for better airflow. I moved the SB Audigy card from the bottom PCI slot to the top. Thinking this might be the problem, I moved the video card back to the top slot PCI-E and the sound card to the bottom PCI slot. Sound is now working again. Thanks for the thread views?:smileytongue:
Think that when I have to buy Win 7 for real if the problem would still persist if I moved the card again? Or is this a hardware limitation?

Problems with Audigy and Yahoo Messenger/Teamspeak/any web speak prog

So, I have a soundblaster audigy with the front input panel thingy with all the different inputs/outputs (forgive my lack of computerness), and I'd like to be able to use the MIC IN 2 input for headset to talk to people online. I can hear myself fine over my own speakers/headphones when I plug a mic in there, but I cannot get any sound to activate when I try Yahoo voice messenger or teamspeak. A clue is....when I tried to plug the mic in to the horrible input on the back of the computer (the tiny /8 one) I did register some sound but only a crackling noise. Is there some setting I need to switch specifically for online transmission?
thanks,
J

ok never mind, I figured it out myself. thanks

Latency Problem with Audigy 2 ZS notebook

I have big problem. I wanna play with my laptop, but when i use Creative ASIO on 2ms, the sound isn't clear. No problem when i play on 5, but I want on 2. Please HELP. I have ACER Aspire 1642, 512 DDR2, USB 2.0. Where is the problem? I have last drivers. PLEASE HELP!!!

I wanna play professional, I am musician. I use softwares like NI B4, FM7... With my internal card i can play with 1ms, but noise is -40, -30 dB!!! Beacause i bought this Audigy 2 ZS and installed on new windows instalation. I didn't conect anithing but analog speakers. On 2ms there are cracles... What can i do to resolve the problem?
Crackling can be caused by different sources (CPU performance, IRQ/resource shares, etc.) but, you can ease the situation by using 4 or 5 ms latency setting. Even you say you're musician, you can't tell the difference between 2 ms and 5 ms (also, this is not the true 'real world' latency at all you're having there).
Also, have you
- checked if your laptop is OK for realtime audio? - http://www.thesycon.de/deu/latency_check.shtml
- already made those 'normal' DAW tweaks - http://www.musicxp.net/
Are you playing on live performances or just for fun/entering MIDI data? If you read from some of those software forums (cakewalk, cubase, etc.) you'll notice, it's possible to use much higher latency settings than 2 ms w/o being called non professional musician. Also, when you enter MIDI data into recording software, it's all the same which latency settings you're using .. data goes always into same position, only soft synth outputs out of time (it's not valuable to record the soft synth output directly even some software allows it).
Hmm... which internal card are you talking 'bout ... onboard audio or some decent pro quality soundcard? Could you name that one (I know most of those and know their capabilities in this type of matter) and, are you using the internal card w/ the same PC/laptop you're using Audigy with and, which driver mode? If it's not in the same PC/laptop then, don't make direct comparison between those two (not equal performance; rather 'compare' w/ those results behind two links given below)). BTW, which 'resolution' are you using (16/24 -bit, 44-1, 48 or 96 kHz)? IIRC, those NI instruments you mentioned, are known CPU huggers so maybe that is part of your latency "issue".
Some generic reading on latency matter:
MIDI keyboard internal response to keystroke -- this is not instantaneous but on a good keyboard should be under 1 msec or so
MIDI transport latency
- If you're using MIDI cables, this is 1 msec per note in the chord, before the last note in the chord sounds. In other words, for a 6-note chord, the first note is delayed by 1 msec, the second by 2, etc., to the 6th note that is delayed by 6 msec.
- If you're using MIDI over a high-speed technology like USB, Firewire, or mLAN, there is still transmission latency but the per-note effect is far, far lower -- probably not measurable.

At link (http://www.creaf.com/speakers/source...rt-Speaker.pdf) inspire 5.1 5200 has no dts support with audigy 2 zs ...

sussie,
Yes. The Audigy 2 ZS sound card support DTS and Dolby Digital 5.1 decoding so it will work with the speaker.

Multi-track Recording with Audigy (input level adjustment of 6 tracks)

Hi,
Has anyone used an Audigy (or similar) to record more than 2 channels?
I have an Audigy 4, which I use for 24 bit recordings. Usually I just use 2 channels, and an ASIO4ALL v2 interface which probably uses the "WDM:SB Audigy 4 Audio [D880]" driver.
However, there's another driver I can select which is "SB Audigy 4 ASIO 24/96 [D880]", and this gives me 6 input channels corresponding to the R and L channels of the inputs line , 2 and 3. This is great, and seems to work OK, but whereas I can control the levels of the incoming signals (on line 3 L/R) with the 2 channel driver, the Creative surround mixer doesn't have any control over the input levels in the 6 channel case, so I'm stuck with having to adjust the level of the incoming signal externally.
Has anyone found a solution to this difficulty? I've updated to the latest drivers.
I'm using Windows XP pro. and the recording software is n-Track 5.1.
Thanks,
Peter

HI, I dont know if anyone has had this happen to them or not. I Have a MODEL # SB0090 Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy with 394 PCI Sound Card with the front controls. I have used it for years. I just re-loaded it into a new computer and loaded the new driver. When I had the old driver loaded I got a very harsh repeated ......BLAP.....BLAP.......BLAP.......BLAP it was very nasty and sounded like a cd skipping. I loaded the new driver and that got rid of the BLAP skipping thing. Now with the new driver when I bring up the windows play and record controls and when I have the Mutes all off and say for example AUX 2 selected, as soon as I arm the track in Sonar the AUX 2 on the windows play control auto mutes right before my eyes I can then de-select mute and the track stays armed, BUT as soon as I hit record it will auto mute again yet the meters still move and it still records and I am able to de-select mute again while recording and it does not effect the recording. It is a very big hassle during a recording project. ANY IDEAS WOULD BE AWESOME!!!!
Are you using ASIO (or asio4all), WDM/KS or MME32 on Sonar?
Not sure but have you checked how the "Record Without Monitoring" (or similiarly named ) option is set (Start menu, Run..., sndvol32 /r).
On Sonar you may need to enable Input ECHO ( [color="#339966"][)))]? button on track headers).

Creative Digital I/O Module with Audigy 2 ZS Problems

5Creative Digital I/O Module with Audigy 2 ZS Problems? Hello - new to the forums, but a long time Soundblaster user.
I have read pkc's Digital Connections FAQ, but i am still struggling with my digital setup:
I have had an Audigy 2 ZS for some time. I have recently bought a surround sound amp and want to connect my PC to the amp digitally using the Audigy 2 ZS. So i have bought the Creative Digital I/O Module which understand is perfect for connecting the two, but i cannot get any output from it.
Firstly, the Creative Digital I/O Module is part no. SB0002 and has a 4 pole mini jack. I have connected it to the digital output of the Audigy. I have then connected the i/o module to the amp using digital coax cable. The amp receives no signal from the module and also i cannot see any light from the module's optical output. What do i need to do to get the i.o module working with the Audigy and sound to the amp?
Secondly, i have read in pjc's post that the digital output can act as a digital coax, but how do connect a 4-pole mini jack output to a single phono jack for the digital coax?
Thanks in advance for any advice here.

No sound with Audigy 1 and Vista Ultim

Ok.. so I know you cannot use the SPDIF output on the x64 version... so I installed the reg x86 version and I still cannot get the sound to work on my Audigy with my old DTT2500 5. creative speakers..... Is there some setting that I am missing?... While playing an MP3 I am able to see the green bar move up and down on both the Speaker output and SPDIF output but neither of them produce and sound... speaker test works perfect as does my normal XP boot.. please help.. thanks in advance.

Not sure what to tell you, hopefully someone will be able to help. One curious thing though is that according to my Sound properties in Control Panel SPDIF is working on my Audigy 4,

unfortunately I don't have anything that uses SPDIF to be able to test it.
Also have you tried installing the X-Fi drivers yet? Download, extract with Winrar (or whatever you use) and navigate to the Drivers sub-folder and run the Setup.exe there.

Soundblaster audigy platinum jack panel compatibility with audigy 2 or audigy 2

Can I use a Soundblaster audigy platinum dri've (the front case jack panel) with an audigy 2 or audigy 2 zs sound card? Is it compatible? This is so I don't have to by a platinum version of the audigy 2 or audigy 2zs and spend the money on another dri've panel just to upgrade the sound card.

As both the Audigy and Audigy 2 lines report they are compatible with WinXP, is there any reason I wouldn't be able to use my Audigy Platinum system I bought in 200 with a suped up new Dell Dimention desktop system I just bought? I guess the question behind the question is, what's the difference between the Audigy and Audigy 2 besides just the parts not being compatible with each other and the true bit thing fixed? Thanks!

Recording Options with Audigy

Hello:?I have recently purchased and installed an Audigy SE card into a PC running Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit edition.
Does this card support a "What You Hear"/ "Stereo Mix" recording option?.
?I?purchased the card?as an?upgrade from my on-board sound processor, as the Vista drivers available for it'sdo not work properly. I previously used my system under Windows XP Pro to broadcast as an internet DJ and this option is necessary for me to contine. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank You.

I recently upgraded my XP system with Audigy SE to Vista and found that I could no longer record from the stereo mix. Here's what I did to fix it.
I went to Control Panel, Sounds, and under the Recording tab I right clicked and selected Show Disabled Devices. "What U Hear" showed up, but even after enabling it, it still said "Not Available". So I went to Creative and downloaded the latest software/driver pack for Vista 32-bit (dated 9 Jul 07) and installed it. After installing and rebooting, I went to Control Panel/Sounds again and tried to find "What U Hear". It was not there at all, even after telling Vista to show all disabled devices. No stereo mix, no nothing. Nice update.
So I kept the new Audigy software installed but I rolled back the driver to the original Vista driver, which was dated Feb 2007. I went back to Control Panel/Sounds and lo and behold, "What U Hear" was back. However, it was still labeled as "not available". So now I did another reboot.
I went back to Control Panel/Sounds and looked for "What U Hear", and this time it was available. So I selected it to be default and loaded up Sony SoundForge to give it a test, and it worked. I could record from the stereo mix by selecting "What U Hear" in Soundforge as my recording device.
So, in summary, the July 07 Creative update for Audigy SE in Vista 32-bit seems to be missing this key capability, for whatever reason. However, the built-in Vista driver for Audigy dated Feb 2007 does allow it. By coincidence, Creative also has a Feb 2007 driver update listed in their downloads -- is this the same driver supplied by Vista? I don't know. Maybe it is, but now that I have things working, I'm not going to mess with it to try and find out.
So my advice -- get the latest software pack from Creative but use the February 2007 Vista driver, or try the Creative February driver.

Decode AC3 Dolby with Audigy ZS or Inspire 5500 digita

Hello, i need your advice, I have Sound Blaster Audigy ZS and Inspire 5500 Digital,
which best to Decode AC3 (6 Channels)
decode with Audigy or Inspire?
Thanks

arturjose,
You should have the sound card bypass the AC3 signal to the speaker for decoding. Remember to also have the DVD software setup to SPDIF bypass the AC3 signal.
