Audigy 2 and new dri

I read through the posts but did not find an answer. I have a Falcon NW computer built in December of 2003 and it came with the Audigy 2 card. I have used Auto update before with no problems. I ran it a couple of days ago and it recognized my card and listed the new driver .84.55. I let it download the driver and extract it. But then it said I did not have a Audigy 2 card installed and aborted the install. I check the requirements of the new driver and met them all except I was not sure about the EAX 4 from 9 Nov 03. I downloaded the EAX 4.0 from 9 Nov 03 and ran it and it installed with no problems. So I manually downloaded the new driver and ran it. It again came to the install and said I did not have an Audigy 2 card. The driver is listed for both the Audigy 2 and ZS. Is this causing my problem?
Thanks in advance for any help. Ernie.

Ok, I downloaded driver EAX4DRV_AUDIGY2__84_50 from the Creative d/l page and voila! I have sound! I can hear the OS sounds, I can play CDs, and my music making software works too!
However, when I try to play a DVD there is no sound. I tried playing the DVD in several different players including Windows Media Player and PowerDVD and neither of them produce sound, so I'm assumed it was the sound card. I downloaded the DVDAO223 update from the creative d/l page but the setup never finished; it said I was missing something that it required to load, but when I checked the requirements, I seem to have all the necessary elements. *sigh*
Any ideas?
Oh, also how do I get a hold of the CDROM that goes with my card? Can I buy another copy from Creative?Message Edited by TGITI on 0-27-2005 07:44 PM

  • Audigy 1 and live drive II is

    HI
    I have just bought a li've dri've II to partner with my Audigy SB0090 after plugging it in and installing fresh drivers there is no response from the li've dri've, no matter what i do i can't get the dri've to work. Is this a fault with the dri've or is it something i have missed ? I wonder if it's a compatibility issue as i have a x-fi extreme audio in my computer to listen to music as well as the Audigy to record instruments with. But as both cards work fine it seems theres not and issue.
    Many thanks JoshMessage Edited by landyman on 05-9-20070:2 AM

    I'm afraid not, those two aren't compatible. Audigy 2 (and onwards) dri'ves are compatible with that card.

  • "A How-To" on the steps to FIX the Problem of NO Sound Card DETECTION with AUDIGY 2 and Win XP

    Note#: When restarting the PC each time, shut off the main power switch on the Power Supply then back on.
    Note#2: You will need the Windows XP CD WITH the SP2 on it or have the download SP2 Install file from MS on your PC. I have it on CD.
    . Remove the sound Card
    2. Use the Removal/Un-installation Procedures for the drivers in Knowledge Base Under Windows XP Step by step. Restart to get all the files deleted in the Creative folder if necessary.
    Here is the (Solution ID#) for the Uninstallaion found in the Creative.com Knowledge Base: SID72 "How to uninstall Sound Blaster drivers and applications?"
    Alternati'vely, Click on the Sound Blaster Picture Box under the Knowledge Base Main Search Page and the article should be in the resulting list.
    3. Use the DCProSetup_.exe from http://files.trunetworks.com/utilities/
    Use it carefully Selecting [Creative] then Check the box for Muntiple Cleaning Filters, and remove the Creative Audio Drivers by Clicking on Start.
    4. Go into the Registry by Typing Regedit in the Start>Run.. Menu
    Navigate and remove the Entry for CTCMSGo.exe, it is running in the back ground otherwise and i believe it interrupts the re-installation of MediaSource Files.
    HKEY_CURRENT USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
    The file link/tag, it will be on the right half of the screen, Delete it. CTCMSGo.exe=(Creative Technologies Media Source Go)
    5. Restart the PC, dont forget to switch Power Supply to off while powered down and on before powering back up.
    6.Go to the Win XP SP2 CD or the file downloaded, select re-install but choose UPDATE, not New Installation. Let the Install run and update your pc, this procedure has no data loss or settings changes in Windows.
    7. Restart PC
    8. Turn off PC and install the Audigy 2 Card. Then turn on the PC. At this point you might get a plxcore.plx Error of file missing. Not to worry.. copy the file from within the Creative Drivers CD and paste it into the Creative Folder In C:\Program Files\Creative
    The Knowledge base Article on the steps is: SID287 "Error: Program could not load because Plxcore.plx cannot be found"
    9. Power up and see if you get PCI Device, and Audio Controller Detetion. If you dont then do the following:
    A) Remove the Sound Card and Re-install the Win XP SP2 Update a number of times ( I did this about 5 times until detection) Each time restart and install the Sound Card into any of the empty PCI Ports until detection.
    If that does not work after a number of times try the following:
    B)Power off and switch the PCI slot of the Sound Card (to all the PCI slots if necessary with complete power off each time) Without Re-installing XP SP2 Update.
    0. After you get Detection, The Windows Auto Installer for Drivers will pop up..select Find Drivers Automatically, then Install then install the drivers it finds. It will put in some basic Audigy Drivers from the CD or online i'm not sure where it gets them from. Keep your Driver CD in the CD Dri've.
    .Restart the PC, then install the Drivers and Media Source Files from the CD (it may not all get installed and may give an error and you have to shut down and re-install the drivers and Media Source over again and over again so it fills in the gap of missing files/drivers until it all works without deleting the previously installed parts).
    2. Only install this update from the File/ Downloads Section on the Creative website: EAX4DRV_AUDIGY2__84_50.exe Dated 29 July 04. The new beta one that was released is what started all my troubles, so plz i urge you to wait for it to be official.. unless you really want to test it out at your risk.
    And there you have it.. in 8 Hours and some ideas from friends and relati'ves concerning detection problems of other hard ware they have had i decided to play Roulette all night and this combo works. I had to play Roulette switching the PCI slots (5 of them), and then towards the end play Roulette with the Creative Driver CD install... until they all work perfectly. WHEW!!!
    Notice: I hope if you are really ticked off at having no sounds and want to try this at your own risk and responsiblity go ahead, and I wish you luck. None of the proedures are too out of the ordinary. I dont know if it will work for you but it worked for me and maybe it will possibly for other similar Sound Cards as well.. like ZS or Li've! etc. with similar problems. Happy Sound Blasting!!!

  • Audigy platinum pinouts for dri

    I have an original Audigy platinum with the connections for a dri've bay - which I did not purchase. My new case allows for a front panel microphone and headphone (as well as other connections) in addition to the back panel ones. After installing the audigy card in it - these connections no longer work =(
    Since the dri've bay comes with mircorphoone and headphone outputs - I assume there are appropriate pins on the dri've bay connection that (if identified) - could be connected to my computers froont panel enabeling the use of these with the audigy card and not just the sound system proved with the mobo. Does someone have accurate information about the pinouts for the dri'vebay that are on the Audigy card? And, would you be gracious enough to supply me with this information.
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Greetings again and thank you Jeremy for the fast response - FYI I did look for this information on the web before coming here to post. Based on what I gathered from the article you attached was that: . I could connect my front panel headset connections to pins 0, and 2 ( General purpose output , general purpose output 2 and ground) (or should they go to the ones labeled spdif?) 2. I could connect the microphone connections to pins 5 and 6 (spdif input signal and ground) I hate to be a pain but I really don't feel like messing up anything either and maybe a moment of your time can save me a lot of issues later.

    Have you checked the volume button? It might be physically stuck. To determine whether a hardware repair is needed, you need to follow these steps:
    1. Try doing a hard reset:
    Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
    After that: test the device to see whether the issue is solved.
    2. If the issue is not solved, you should backup the device and restore it as new.
    In that case, use: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
    NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup.
    If the issue persists after restoring as new, you should offer the device for service.
    If you get specific error messages/codes in iTunes when updating/restoring, check this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694 for causes and solutions
    Good luck

  • Audigy Platinum and 56K PCI modem confl

    I have had modem connection problems so I reformatted the hard dri've and reloaded the OS to get a clean start. Now, I have a conflict with the Audigy Platinum and 56K PCI modem. The sound card works great until I dial-out on the modem - at that point there is either no sound or a high-pitched tone is heard when a sound is played. Also, if I am activly connected to the internet and play a sound, the connection will drop and the modem will refuse to reconnect with various errors (no dial tone or port already open). The only way to reset the sound card and modem is to reboot. If I disable the Audigy card under device manager, the modem works great - connects and reconnects fine. BTW, this is the third PCI modem I have tried, all by different manufactures and chipsets, so I don't think it is a modem problem.
    Some system specs:XP Home SP 2Audigy Platinum with the latest production drivers availableUS Robotics 56K PCI modem model #5660AAsus A7N8X deluxe motherboard with on-board sound disabled
    The Audigy card is installed in a PCI slot that is not shared, also the Audigy card is using IRQ 5 and the modem is on IRQ using COMM port 3. Everything looks fine under Device Manager (no unknown devices or devices with errors). MSINFO32 shows no device conflicts.
    Has anyone seen this before? Any workarounds? Any idea why the Audigy card would conflict with the modem like this?
    Thanks,Terry C.

    I updated the BIOS to the latest ASUS release, 008, and it seemed to resolve the problem.

  • Problems: Audigy SE and DirectSo

    I've got an Audigy SE and have been having some (minor) issues. I've run the Creative Diagnostics and the card is failing the DirectSound test. I went through the steps to completely remove the drivers and reinstall them fresh and once they were gone I installed the drivers from my original CD and then ran the diagnostics again. Success! All test passed. I then updated my drivers (once via the AutoUpdate and once manually) and ran the diagnostics again. Failure! The DirectSound test failed. For now I'll be reverting back to the old drivers from the CD. Is there any way to update and still have DirectSound work properly?
    Help appreciated.
    ~Darxide

    I have that problem too.
    There are 2 driver versions in the download page and in the Automatic Update utility, the first (the older version: SBA_PCDRV_LB__04_006.exe) works fine but the newer one doesn't work properly with Audigy SE (SB24_VTDRV_LB__04_0077.exe).
    Looks like it installs a mix of files for Audigy and SB24, and that makes the card useless.
    Also, I've got the same problem as many other people, the audio quality really sucks even compared to my cheap onboard chip, the software included is a mess and gives even less options than my onboard chip's drivers. Like Karaoke, the checkmark to remove voice is not enabled but I can do it even with my old 2. onboard chip.
    Games like Half-Life 2: Deathmatch crashes often with it (I guess all Source games become unstable), and the <possible> solution, the newer drivers, simply don't work.
    Please Creative fix these problems, because with the actual state of things this simply don't work (I'm back with the onboard chip now).

  • Sound Blaster Audigy Drivers and Applications CD-Rom

    Does anyone know where I can get or download?the "Sound Blaster Audigy" "Drivers and applications" CD-rom?
    I have included a pic below:
    <img alt="cd-rom" src="http://www.geocities.com/pershingbpa/soundblastercd.jpg" align="left[/img] width="70" height="705">

    jay23,
    First extract the RAR file you downloaded using WinRar. During the extraction, WinRar will create an ISO file which is an image of the installation CD. If you don't want to burn that ISO file to a CD, then download and install MagicDisc from the link I gave above. MagicDisc lets you mount an ISO file as a virtual hard dri've. You should be able to install from that virtual CD just as if it were a real hard copy CD, but I've never tried that so can't say for certain.

  • Audigy SE and Logitech X-

    I had SB Li've and had no problems with it for a long time, but for some reason it died on me and I got Audigy SE and now I am having problems with my speakers, I can only hear sound from FL and one with the power button and volume on (I think its FR). It is set up as 5. in Control Panel as well Creative MediaSource. I have new drivers and also I did re-format my computer but still the same problem. When I test my speakers I can hear sound and noise from all of them. I am not sure what to do?thanks

    Hi There !
    I have an Audigy with a Logitech X-530?( and had the same Problem?)?. The rear and center speakers are enabled only in Dolby Surround Sound and in games Supporting Dolby sound . if u want to make the Center speaker? ,? and the rear ones enabled , u should first fully install the software provided with the card then go to the EAX Console (Right Click on the Volume Icon on the taskbar then select it ) and enable audio Effect ( That's Optional ) , then Go to the CMSS 3D tab , enable it and select Stereo Sound . i had the same problem as u mentioned , i had an onboard Sound card , then i upgraded to Audigy and the Center & rear?Speakers were not working so i thought that may be the card was not working?Correctly , but?now Everythings is working
    that's what i did ! :P hope that will work for u too , Let Me Know
    ( u may also test ure speakers and card by downloading a "Test Speaker Dolby Sound " )

  • Audigy 2 and ASIO driv

    I have recenty installed an Audigy 2 and loaded the most current drivers for it from Creative. I am using the WDM drivers but would like to try ASIO drivers. It was my understanding that the latest driver package had the ASIO drivers as well. They don't appear in the list of drivers that I can try. If I browse to the SBAudigy 2/program/WDM/Common/ I can see CTASIO.DLL which I think is the driver but if I try to browse to it when updating driver it doesn't work cause I think it is looking for an .ini file. Any way I can't find anywhere that explains exactly how to install these drivers.....but from what I have read they would be best for what I want to use it for which is recording. I am usiing Windows ME if that makes any difference. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    I've disabled on board sound in bios so its not that.
    There is a sticker with a serial number on card (something like MSB0243xxxxxxxxx). The bolded part on my example shows the model of your card.
    I think you can install these drivers (use the instructions if you don't like to install the Audio Console utility too).
    Also, you can download ISO image file of the original installation CD by following this link. Install software by running the start.exe found on CTRun\ folder in that image file (when extracted or burnt).

  • Audigy 4 and digital NAD L70 surround system - No surround?

    Hi guys and girls.
    I have a fine Audigy 4 sound card and an even more fine NAD L70 A/V surround system (DVD player and mid-powered surround amplifier - The baby brother of this one: http://www.nadelectronics.com/av_rec...73_framset.htm ).
    I have 4 speakers connected to the L70, 2 front and 2 rear.
    My problem is, that I cannot get any sound out of the rear speakers, when testing e.g. the Creative Speaker Calibrator.
    I've connected the computer to the L70 via the Digital Out on the Audigy 4 and the Digital Coaxial In on the L70.
    I've set the Input Selector to Cable/Sat.
    I've set the Speaker Configuration to
    - Front: Large
    - Center: None
    - Surr: Large
    - Sub: None
    I've set the Creative Speaker Settings to "4/4.1 Speakers".
    Where am I doing wrong? Why is it so hard to set up to work correctly?
    And why cant I find a "Digital Out Only" button as with my old SB Live! 5.1
    I've tried several (all?) possible combinations on the computer side and on the amplifier side, with no help.
    I can get music from the computer to go to all speakers by switching between the surround modes on the L70.
    Has anyone tried anything like this?
    Very best regards
    Svend Koustrup / eSKape

    Lex,
    The information I gave Felix2 is not "horrible" or wrong, they are the truth. There is no need to start attacking again, if you are not clear on the information I gave in his thread, ask for more clarification, but do not attack.
    If you are having problems getting it set up, it's best to provide some detail on what settings you have changed, how everything is configured, and someone will probably be able to help you.
    The start of your post isn't very clear, do you have a standard Audigy 4 or an Audigy 4 Pro? The Audigy 4 Pro does have an optical output on the external dri'vebay, the standard Audigy 4 (just a card) does not have an optical output. You would need to connect through a coaxial input (minijack to RCA, then RCA-RCA).

  • Difference between audigy value and sound blas

    Since i am unable to find comparisions between soundblaster 24bit and AudigyValue in site , Anyone can give me the difference between these two ?

    Other than the name, not much. Both cards lack the EMU0K/2 chip, and have to do all processing in software (cpu processing instead of on the card). Oh yeah and the Audigy SE has newer drivers than the Value (and will probably install on the SB 24 bit).
    All things considering if you are looking at a card for gaming (or just about anything else) avoid both of them.

  • Audigy 1 and K8N Neo Compatibility

    I'm about to jump on the Athlon 64 bandwagon in the next few weeks and I'll most likely be getting a 3000+ with the K8N Neo Platinum. After reading about the troubles with the Audigy 1 and K8T Neo, I'm a bit concerned about those incompatibilities carrying over to the K8N Neo. Has anybody put an Audigy 1 into their K8N Neo successfully or unsuccessfully? I don't really wanna have to buy a new sound card, most of my money will be sucked up by an X800 Pro  
    Thanks in advance.
