Audigy 2 - EAX-Console crashes everyti

Hi,
I own the Audigy 2 ZS and have some trouble with the EAX-Console.
When I want to change some settings there (CMSS f.e.) the software just hangs up.
Like 80% of the time and I am not able to restart it, until I do a reboot.
I have the latest drivers, so I tryd that already.
Any suggestions?

I am having the same problem as you guys, I have Audigy2 ZS retail and everything was working fine until I got Silent Hunter 3. It was suggested I re-install the soundcard drivers/software so I tried that. Now my EAX console, Graphic Equalizer, surround sound mixer, creative speaker settings will not open. I've also tried a system restore, uninstall, re-install using the cleansweep method, drivers from disk and online got all updates. I've repeated this four or fi've times and Still nothing. When I tried to open the EQ an error pops up that says nothing in it except a red X. EAX console says "no components registered".
I hope I don't have to re-install Windows just to get this soundcard software working properly agian.
Thanks

EAX Console Application encounters errors (cant use it) - Audigy 2 ZS

I bought my Audigy 2 ZS in late 2006 and i used to enjoy the EAX Console, but its always been flaky. Often I have to reinstall it from the CD and that is total crap. I have the latest drivers and the EAX console crashes on me. Where can I get the newest version?
EAX Console Application has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
The Creative Volume console works fine, but I used to like messing witht he EAX console while listening to music, its much better than all the crappy winamp plugins out there, but it seems I can no longer use it.

I'm on Windows XP Pro SP3. I dont see why the app breaks constantly. Even when I got it brand new it failed within a month or 2. The only way I've gotten it to work is to install the drivers and app off the cd constantly. And that is ridiculous. The new drivers shouldnt break anything either, maybe they can update the apps and put them online. So what if someone that doesnt have the soundcards can attempt to use them, I paid good money for my card, because I had creative soundcards that were very good in the past. I just wish the EAX console worked, winamp plugins suck compared to the Creative EAX [email protected]

Error when Installing Eax-console as part of Audigy support pack 3.6

<div class="lia-component-body lia-message-body">Hey there, out of nowhere I have the following problem:
I have used several versions of this audigy support Pack up to now, both in Windows XP and Windows 7 RC and all worked fine for me. Most recently I used 3.5 and 3.6 in both OS for a short time.
now I had to format my harddisk an have installed a clean version of Win XP SP3. I installed an update pack (winboard.org), the latest direct X and drivers for nvidia motherboard and videocard. Then, when I tried to install this support pack, I get an error messagge I-00 when eax-console should have been installed, something about CTengine being unable to be installed.
I read through many of the solutions here in the forum, since this error seems to be not so rare. But up to now, nothing helped. This is, what my install.log tells me:
[EAX Console]
GUID={5B7E626-7885-4FC3-A66A-73548A4F0FD}
Warning=I-008 CTRegSvr fails to register C:\Programme\Creative\EAX\Karaoke.exc.
[Common Audio Driver Interface]
GUID={700932B3-A964-4878-82A2-96054622AF7}
Warning=I-007 RegSvr32 fails to un-register C:\Programme\Creative\ShareDLL\CADI\ctcadi.dll.
All other install.log from the other parts of the pack contain no warning. Everything except the EAX-console works fine, if I try to start that, I get an error "No components are registered", an I don't have a "karaoke" register, but otherwise it works well, I can use the effects and cmss.
What the heck could I do?
I made an new thread, since nobody seamed to react to my post in the support pack thread.

HRe: Error when Installing Eax-console as part of Audigy support pack 3.6o What you have is a missing file, or perhaps your system is wanting to install direct X redistributable or something similar. Do a search on your system for install.log and when you find the newest one, or second to newest one, open it with notepad. It will tell you exactly what you are missing. I was trying to install some components for my Elite Pro and it said in the install.log that it could not find DXREDIST. So I copied a version I had to the installing program's folder and it worked!? So take a look at that log and see what is missing......write back with your results if you dont mind. In the original post I had seen the registration problems with components. You can manually run regsvr32 with the /? switch and see how to unregister that yourself and then try the installation again.

Cant install EAX console on Audigy 1 Platinum

Where is my EAX CONSOLE on AUDIGY 2 in Windows Seven 64bit??

?as i said, i really need eax console to increase or decrease volume of any of ma speakers. CREATIVE please help me to find solution. Sometimes i need [color="#ff0000"]concentrate all of sound to one speaker ex. rear left whiteout eax console i can't do that.
I buy AUDIGY 2 to have a nice sound and to use all of its features but whiteout proper software and programs is is worse than my nvidia sound on mother bard.
regards and waiting for your soon reply with an solution

Hello jmacguire,
I read your hint above a few weeks ago and then bought a used Audigy 4 Pro card with the intention to use it under Windows 7 x64 (because of missing features in the X-Fi software regarding EAX; compare my thread over there).
Your hint (copying the three files in the EAXCon setup directory) together with Daniel K.'s newest v3.8 Audigy Support Pack worked and I could successfully install EAX Console on Windows 7 x64. I used the same trick to install things like Surround Mixer from the original CD, too.
The driver itself works. The problem is, as soon as I start the installed Creative applications, they either immediately quit with "no supported hardware found" or show up with a GUI, where nearly everything is deactivated; cf. the following screenshot. Only the speaker settings seem to work correctly/as in XP:
How can I get back the functionality like editing EAX profiles, CMSS selection, ... in W7x64. Considering even Creative published a new Audigy series driver on 9th April 2010, which explicitly supports Windows 7 x64, there must be a way to get the software for this card running again, must it not?
Please help me, if you can. Thank you,
orthoceros.

EAX Console for Audigy LS

Hey all, first post here, hope you can help.
I was recently given an Audigy LS soundcard by a friend as a gift, but without an install cd..so basically I have the soundcard and it's original box, but that's it.
I'd like to enable a few things such as CMSS, and to change a few EAX options as i've having some issues with audio in games...
My question is, bar buying a new cd from creative, is there any other way to get the EAX console? If I do have to buy it I will, but i'm just checking first, thanks

I typed : "audigy LS iso" under emule and found isos for the LS
go for it.
i don't know about the applications compatibility but some of them might be unlocked to be used with (about) every creative cards.
furthermore, the person who said he would host the file was only for 7 days, so it might be too late.Message Edited by Shingo-Y on 06-02-2005 :29 PM

[SB Audigy 2] Enabling Audio Effects in EAX Console No Sound in Games.

K[SB Audigy 2] Enabling Audio Effects in EAX Console > No Sound in Games.7 Subject says it all.
Got an SB Audigy 2 from a friend, installed the latest drivers. Enabled the Audio Effects in the EAX Console ('Advanced EQ > Pop' to be more specific) Music sounds great and all, but most games I play will have no sound. Disabling the effects returns the sound. Only happens with games that use EAX btw, obviously. I would really like to be able to play games with the improved sound.
Is this suppose to happen? I've tried the unnoficial drivers as well, no difference.
Thanks in advance.

ORe: [SB Audigy 2] Enabling Audio Effects in EAX Console > No Sound in Games.g Man oh man, why didn't I try that myself.. It works, I will now sculpt a small statue of JRosenfeld<span class="lia-user-name UserName">, place it in my garden and pray there before each gaming session.. Thanks!! =)

EAX Console/Aud Clean Er

I have a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 card. Whenever I go to start the EAX console I get an error message. It goes as follows:
Title: Aud Clean
Body: Exception -- CreateObject : Exception:FactoryNotFound Message:"Invalid Factory in CreateObject : CRecordSchema" At:Wednesday, July 3, 2005 23:45:46
Then I get another error box (One of those Microsoft program crash boxes)
Title: Creative MediaSource Player
It goes on to state that Creative MediaSource Player has encountered an error and needs to close. (It has send error report and all that)
Then I get a critcal error box that goes as follows:
Title: CTCMS.exe - Application Error
Body: The instruction at "0x04e9f79" refrenced memory at "0x00000008". The memory could not be "read".
Click on OK to terminate program
I have clean booted, clean installed Windows, clean intalled the drivers/software and nothing is working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It doesn't crash if I just choose a song from the playlist that is there when I load it up, I just now chose different songs throughout the acti've playlist, I then emptied the playlist, chose an artist, album, and hilighted all the songs and drug them into the playlist and it crashed instantly..
AppName: ctcms.exe AppVer: 3.0.37.0 ModName: ctplayq2.dll
ModVer: 3.0.0.0 Offset: 00077
which is different from last time, last time was
AppName: ctcms.exe AppVer: 3.0.37.0 ModName: msvcp60.dll
ModVer: 6.2.304.0 Offset: 000026d
I just now ran it in PLAYER MODE to see if it was only doing it when I was in the organiser mode, and i went to add to the playlist, as soon as I choose the tracks and press ok, it acts as if it is going to load them, and then it crashes. this time with the 2nd error msg from above. I just now tried with a different SKIN, didn't know if that would make a differense, but sometimes certain skins in certain programs have bugs, but same as before, adding anything to the playlist crashes the player. It didn't used to do that. Last week it worked fine. I don't get it.
You have any clue as to what might be causing it's
Thanx for the reply.. I really appreciate it.

EAX Console issues: An error has occur

Hi there. My name is Emil, 2 years old, and from Gothenburg, Sweden.
I have a SoundBlaster Audigy 2ZS and EAX console , 5. i think. I've searched the board and read the FAQ without any help at all, so i made a new thread.
Yesterday, my EAX Console flipped out, or as a matter of fact, my whole Creative MediaSourcePlayer and all of it's function flipped out. Whenever i try to launch the following program, it says an error has occurred:
Surroundmixer (Surmixer)
EAX Console
AudioHQ
Creative MediaSource Player
THX Setup Console
Speaker Settings
Diagnostics
Graphic Equalizer
I've tried the following things:
) Reboot
2) Installing CMS_PCAPP_LB_3_30_2.exe as stated in the help.
I don't know anything about Hardware, so for me to switch PCIslots and stuff like that is impossible. I have no issues about regedit or stuff like that, but I just can't handle anything concluding the hardware.
Thanks in advance, and regards // Emil Svensson, Sweden.

IIrc, this issue has already been here (though looooong ago) and the cure were to reinstall some dll(s), but I can't remember which ones.
If not already tried this, try w/ reinstalling the whole software bundle from original CD (no drivers, but software only). You can start the installer from CD by running the start.exe which can be found on folder CTRun\.
Hoppas det ?r en l?sning.

Unable to install EAX console, speaker settings, e

I've had problems with audio files skipping and causing the PC to freeze. I'm down to testing the sound card. I've made sure the onboard audio is disabled in the BIOS and I updated to the most recent drivers for my Audigy 2, but I'm having problems bringing up the EAX and speaker settings.
Those are grayed out and unavailable in MediaSource. I did the cleansweep/uninstall procedures, but I still can't get those programs to work right. I downloaded the EAX console and speaker settings, but everytime I try to run them, they quit out since the required components weren't found.
I have my speaker settings set to 5. in Windows, but I have no sound coming from my center or surround speakers and the bass is too loud. I can't change these settings without the EAX console. What's the problem? Why can't I install/access the EAX console?

Lots of info, but no printer model, how you are trying to connect, what operating system.....

SB Xi-Fi gaming - x64 vista - EAX console software / "what u hear" ?

Greets,
I'm looking for the software that installs the EAX console, along with the "what u hear" input/recording options. I have the original driver installation cd - but for XP 32bit only, and I'm running vista64 currently. In the past, I downloaded this off the product support page, but the recent drivers I found there are driver only, and some watered-down options software.
The package I'm looking for included 3-5 pieces of software, of which the EAX console was one. Creative WAV studio was another. I don't recall the others.
Namely, I'm trying to find the components that allow me to record "what u hear" speaker output, as I hear it, and additionally reroute speaker output as line-in/mic input.
The BadBoy iso backup links don't resolve any more, not sure where else to find these.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
The EAX Console is something that's bundled in Audigy cards.
Which X-Fi card do you have exactly, SB X-Fi XtremeGamer?

EAX console woes: did not detect required components/audigy2 not detec

After a recent reformat, I go to install the EAX console after the latest drivers (don't have my original CD by the way) aaaand get the "did not detect required components" message.
So I search on it and it doesn't have anything to do with my dri've paths and such. I've tried an Audigy2 and Audigy2 value ISO, but they tell me they don't detect an audigy2... dxdiag tells me differently, however. I'm not in the mood for downloading a bunch more 400 mb ISOs to test them all out either..
I'm at a loss here and really need the EAX console... autoupdate detects my card as "Sound Blaster Audigy 2, DR release .88.20"

Yes, Creative should be ashamed.
This is a known problem that has been around for months and they have failed to address, just like many other problems with their soundcards. For the solution to this particular problem, look here:
http://forums.creative.com/creativel....id=3964#M3964
If you would reread my original post in this thread, that solution did not work for this particular problem of mine. I have a SoundBlaster Li've! Card that this solution worked for, however it does not work of the Audigy 2 card?unzipping the files with WinRar and then running the Setup.exe files produces the same result?setup does not recognize the required components and will close.
I?m not saying that the person who you quoted should not try it though.
