Audigy 2 + Logitech Z-5

Hi,
I've got a new PC with an Audigy 2 soundblaster. The problem is, that neither the speakers (Logitech Z-5500) nor headphones etc. are found. I think I have installed all drivers for the Soundblaster. Actually, the speakers should be found when they are connected to the PC.
What can I do?
(Win XP SP 2)
thanks.

This sounds like something basic, please forgive me if I have guessed it wrong.
Let me get this straight, you in all probabilities have upgraded from Realtek onboard sound with jack sensing technology. So you would get a pop up through Realtek Audio Manager on chosing what you have connected to the jack eg. headphone, rear out front out Centre/SW etc.
Unfortunately this functionality of jack retasking or auto sensing is not available in any of the creative products.
For connectivity of the speaker system, please refer to the product manual. If you are still using the original analog 5. cables supplied with your Z-5500 speaker system just plug them in firmly with color corresponding color jack if you have value edition of Audigy.

Sound Blaster Audigy + Logitech G51 problem

Before I replaced the motherboard, graphics card, and processor, I had the SB Audigy [8000] version of the software for my Creative Sound Blaster Audigy sound card. All of the new versions I have downloaded, including the old one, are now [BF00]. Also for some reason, the drivers on the CD install [BF00] as well. Previously it didn't. I have the Logitech G5 surround sound speakers, and when I try to use the Matrix mode in-game, only some speakers will work. When I turn off the matrix, it becomes more surround sound, but I still do not hear some things - It shouldn't be doing this when the matrix is not turned on. When the matrix is not turned on, you would only be able to hear from the front left and right speakers only. When not playing a game, the Matrix seems to work fine, however when I don't have it turned on, I still get surround sound. Again, that shouldn't be happening.
The Matrix mode in game seems to not play all of the sounds in-game, and while not in-game, I still get surround sound without the matrix mode on. This shouldn't be happening; I should only be getting the sound from the front left and right speakers when the matrix is not turned on.
Outside of games, when I turn the bass and treble via the sound controls by the time display all the to the max (Not the acutal volume control for the speakers) it sounds garbled. Before this, that wouldn't happen.
Its all worth mentioning that for some reason, my computer does not have the " Audio Device on Definition Audio Bus " driver installed. My computer cannot find the drivers for it though.
With the [8000], when you didn't have the matrix turned on, you would only be able to hear the two speakers in the front. I cannot find the [8000] version online. Does anyone have any idea what the cause of this is?
Any comments are welcome, thank you

Audigy 1 to Logitech Z-5

I have recently purchased a set of Logitech Z-5500 from Dell UK and am trying to connect to them to my Audigy (0090 is the model number, I think)
I have connected them according to the instructions given to both devices (Logitech and Creative) and am unable to get any sound through the centre and bass channels i.e. I cannot hear any speech/bass through these channels. (Test scenario is the Lobby Scene in the Matrix) The software I am using is PowerDVD 6.
Running through the Pink Sound Test option on the speakers gives pink noise through all speakers correctly so they are connected to each other properly.
I have run through the sticky posts in this forum and the general setup guide on the Creative website and this hasn't produced any results.
I have also uninstalled all Soundblaster software on my PC (Win XP Pro with SP2) and reinstalled them from scratch according to the Creative Knowledge Base and this hasn't produced any results.
The CMSS option in PlayCentre has also be disabled/reenabled to no effect.
Any suggestions would be appreciated?
Thanks

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 " )

Logitech Z-5300 and Audigy ZS 5.1 PROBL

I have read the FAQ. I have searched the posts. I have had this sound card for less than a day and I can't get 5. to test out on the THX or Creative test programs. I can get sound on all the speakers but I think it is stereo. If I swap the cables and test again I can hear the front and back speakers but with it connected correctly I only get the FL and FR. I see this problem on a lot of the other posts but I have yet to see an answer that I haven't tried. I have reseated the cables. I have uninstalled the driver and reinstalled off the CD, tested and then installed off the web support. If this is a problem with just Logitech and the Audigy then I guess the Audigy looses because I can take it back. I am a reasonable man so here is your chance to fix this for me and what seem to ba a lot of other people on this board.

Well! ... I started the HP XW8200 this morning after a long pervious evening trying to source out the problem and guess what, the speaker test is now working! I don't know what has changed other than perhaps the driver needs a few extra reboots to config properly. This is something that I have puzzled over since I started working with computers. They are digital. A one or a zero. An on or an off. It should work or not work. They have more moods than most of the people I meet on a daily basis. Perhaps it just needed a good nights sleep.:smileyvery-happy:

PS. Hopefully it will stay working.....:angry:

Audigy problem with Logitech QuickCam Fusion Driv

The new Logitech QuickCam Fusion camera driver software somehow causes the 4. and 5. to get messed on my Windows XP (sp2) computer.
I spent a long time tracking the problem down including swapping out the Audigy itself, testing speakers on another computer, reinstalling creative drivers, bios, board drivers, etc. It didn't dawn on me that the Logitech driver would ever cause that kind of problem, so it was the last thing I checked.
It causes the front speaker sounds to come out the rear speakers and the rear and center channels to get whisper quiet. And, all sounds come out of all of the speakers somewhat.
Removing the QuickCam Fusion web camera driver instantly corrects the problem.
I would like to know if others who have the Audigy, Audigy 2, and X-Fi have the same problems after installing the Logitech Fusion Web Cam.
Could one of the Creative forum monitors kindly would check out this problem?
Thanks
JN

One thing you might try to see if this corects the problem is to look in your control panel, and then sound, and there have you checked to be sure that the sound card and not the Logtiech Quick Cam is the default sound device? I know that some of those devices have their own microphone and codecs and those become the default after you install them. It will make the camera the default sound device. Sometimes they even plug into your "line-in" though not always.

Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS + Logitech Z-5500 5.1 Volume is TOOO low. PLEASE H

I have an Audigy 2 ZS and Logitech z-5500 5. speakers. Everything was working fine and one day the volume was reduced to/0 of what it was supposed to be. The speakers are connected with analog cable (yellow/black/green) and all the connections are right (it was working before). I had the same problem when I installed the sound card at first, I just installed the drivers and the volume was way too low. I went to EAX Console and changed a few options and BANG, volume was normal. Some options on EAX will just make the soundcard stop working, like POP will work but ROCK will mute the sound completely (is it a crappy software?). Now I have the same problem, it works but it sounds like a walkman. I tried removing the drivers and installing it again several times, tried system restore and absolutely nothing works. Next step is re-installing windows and exorcising the sound card. Has this happened to anyone out there, I haven't seen any problems like this yet. Thanks

Hey,
I have a simmilar problem, i have a logitech z-680, and as i want to play audio-dvd my left rear channal has a very low sound. I played a bit in setup and it worked, i cleared my harddisc and installed windows and it worked for a few time, but then this happens. I had this problem that the whole left rear channel was quiet while every activity PC-games/normal stereo music but now is this problem only by the audio-dvd. I dont know whether it s an software problem or an hardware defect. But i think the last one is the cause.... I hope some one out there could help us/me

Audigy 2 ZS - Logitech Z-5500 = NIGHTMA

Hello all,
I have an Audigy 2 ZS (standard, not the Gamer or Platinum editions) and I just upgraded from a Logitech Z-2200 to a Z-5500 speaker system. I -loved- the Z-2200. Absolutely loved it. Because of my high opinion of the 2200, I wound up developing a high opinion for ALL of Logitech's products. I bought myself a MX Duo keyboard, one for my wife, and another set of Z-2200s for a close friend. I recently assumed that if the Z-2200 was good through my Audigy 2 ZS, the Z-5500 had to be earthshaking. That what I read, anyway.
So, I ordered the Z-5500 and received them yesterday.
I spent a couple of hours carefully hooking them up using the supplied 6 channel direct cable, powered them up and...
....was seriously disappointed.
They didn't have the punch that the 2200s had. I had to turn ALL volume settings up to 00% to achei've the same power that the 2200's had at 75%-80%. Maybe that was just me expecting to shattter the windows like my 2200s were on the brink of doing. I had all operational effects, 6 channel, DPL, etc. through that 6 channel input.
Regardless, I figured that I had something wrong with my hookups or set up, so I started making sure that things were proper. I mounted the speakers accordingly on my walls with wall anchors and screws. I went to Radio Shack and bought an RCA to miniplug cable (part number 42-246A). I downloaded all Creative updates for the Audigy 2 ZS card and made the exact settings per this entry in the Logitech knowledgebase here: http://logitech-en-amr.custhelp.com/...hZ2U9MQ**&p_li=
Once I had everything set, I turned everything on and now I have NO sound. NONE. When I press the "input" button to select "Coax", I get "No Digital Data" on the display.
Sure, I can use the 5500 remote to run the test and that works just fine, I get pink noise all the way around so the test works great. After being up all night attempting to find out why I once had semi-weak sound and I now have none with these 5500s, I am at my wit's end. I have checked and rechecked ALL software settings, cables, etc.
I have no idea what to do. I looked all over the Logitech message boards looking for a solution, and I see I am not alone in this problem but no answer has been posted. I am pretty frustrated by all of this. I called Logitech tech support and they told me that the cable I used does not work, even though people on the Logitech forums say it DOES. Logitech support said that with my Audigy 2 ZS card and these speakers, I need to use the supplied 6-channel (3 mini plug) cable and cannot use anything other than an optical cable or a coax-coax cable, which my sound card does not have outputs for.
I think that Logitech's support is very friendly and I love their products as much as I love my Audigy card, but I am questioning this. How can I have one of the higher end cards and sound systems and have them not work together on a higher end input level?
All I want to do is have kick-butt sound system in my home office for MP3 music and DTS/THX/5. movies, so I got a killer card and a killer set of 5. speakers. It is a shame that they do not work together so far. My sound card worked GREAT with my Z-2200s.
I figured I'd post this here, perhaps I can get some decent input.
Can ANYONE help with this? You can tell I am a bit of a newbie with this, so thanks in advance for ANY help anyone can offer.
Jason

Thanks for the reply!

Heh...no "maybe" about it! By "nightmare" I mean satying up until 2 am the other night trying to figuue out what could be wrong.
I have same setup and the sound will blow you pants off...no doubt about it ......reviles anything my XBOX throws at me through my $2000 sound system.
That's what I was expecting. Hence the reason for me being so bummed about the situation. It looks like it will get better, though.
If you wish to use Digital Coax to connect to the Logitech Control unit, then the part you list from Radio shack is not...... I repeat NOT correct.......
Yeah, I found that out from the Logitech tech. There is a bit of misinformation on the Logitech web site. I know they are not obligated to monitor the stuff, they make that pretty clear, but it HInk it would be a good idea if they at least kept bad info off fomr it as much as possible. Easier said than done, I am sure.
get Gold RCA to MiniPlug Mono adaptor...then get a Digital Coax Cable.....for good sound quality......both are $30 bucks total are Radio Crap..... If you want nothing but digital then find the tick boxes in Control Panel and Creative Speaker Setup......tick these and reboot.....you will be either 48 and 96khz sampling rate.... I use 96.....
Thanks! I'll make sure I get the right cables this time. If you happen to know part nubmers, it would be most helptful because I know me, and I know how some Radio Schlock employees are...me going in there and asking for that is about as close to the blind leading the blind as you can get.
the drivers from Creative are buggy as is the in game support for EAX3... I have problems getting that to work properly in some games.
Lucky for me, I am not much of a game player...lately.
div>Note that with Digital stream.....you will not be able to CMSS 3D or any other EAX effects....those are for Analog only....... I have both modes hooked up and the 3wire cable Logitech provides works fine.....hook it up.....run the 5500d's in 6Ch Direct mode and you have amazing CMSS3D mode for playing music.... I have used Itunes and Windows Media 0.....both produce music quality that is amazing in this setup......the CMSS3D is the real deal.
Okay...help me get this straight...
I got this system primarily to listen to music loud enough to make my ears bleed and sound good enough to make me wet my pants, plus watch some kick-butt DTS movies on DVD. Like I said before, I am not as much about games as I used to be. Music and movies is the goal here.
If I am understanding this right, I can have both the 3-miniplug (6 channel) cable AND the Minplug-Mono Adapter/Digital Coax Cable hooked up at the SAME TIME? If that is the case, I would listen to my music (using Winamp) using the 6CH Direct mode (which uses the 3 minplug cable) with CMSS3d for the optimal music experience, and then I would switch over to Coax Digital for watching a DTS movie on DVD? Please let me know if I am correct on this.
Also you can use the Creative DVD Audio player and sampler disc to hear even greater digital fidelity, although analog mode only......Creative is a little slow on their software eng, and didn't do a Digital option for playing this DVDAudio.......<
Is the lack of option for DVD audio a Creative hardware thing or a software thing? If it is a software thing, what do I use to listen to DVD audio through this system?
anymore issue......call me.......800-Neptune
Uh-huh...and who should I ask for if I were to call that number?
Anyway...here's something interesting about the situation...at leas you you MIGHT find this interesting, or you might find a hole in the theory. I do in fact know of a hole in the thoery, but I am not sure how accurate it might be. Read on...
Yesterday, I did what the Logitech tech told me to to... I got out my old 2. Z-2200s and set them up right next to the Z-5500 speakers here in my little home office. I set the volume and subwoofer level on both systems to about 25%.
Then, I grabbed an old portable CD player and put in a disc, played a song and then switched the plugs from one system and then to the other into the CD player to compare sound output. Again, this is what Logitech instructed me to do. I only had to go back and forth twice to realize that something was terribly wrong.
The outcome? My old Z-2200s were TWICE as loud, and had TWICE the sound quality and fullness as the Z-5500s. My old Z-2200s just sounded SO much better.
I did some more testing. I cranked the Z-2200 up a little past halfway and it was about as loud and most people would want to listen to them in a room the size of my home office. Then I switched over to the Z-5500s again and I could crank them to the highest volume level and it was about the same...maybe...in volume.
Now, I might be a newbie but here is one thing I do know...
Z-2200 = 200 watts RMS
Z-5500 = 500 watts RMS
=
Z-5500 > Z-2200
An e-buddy of mine said that it sounded like the amplifier was bad...and it made perfect sense. The Z-2200s sounded like it had an acti've amp, and the Z-5500s didn't.
I got on the phone with Logitech, explained that I did what they told me to do and they said, "Yeah...something is definitely wrong there." and instructed me to get a replacement from the company I bought it from.
Logitech support is great, but getting a replcement from Dell where I bought them from was a 3 hour telephone "nightmare". Ugh...
Anyway, when I get the replecements, I will let you know what happened. Thanks again for the reply and all of your help.

Need Help Configuring Audigy 2 ZS w/ Logitech Z-5500 Speaksers (Pre-bundled from De

I just received my Dell XPS Gen 5 system that I configured with the Audigy 2 ZS and Logitech Z-5500 speakers and as others before me, I can't get them configured to work together. My support tech at Dell is working on the issue, but I haven't heard from him yet. From reading the posts in this forum and others across the Internet, I am not alone in getting the sound card and speakers to work.
So far I purchased the digital coax cable along with the /8" mono-to-mono miniplug so that I can plug the coax cable into the back of the sound card's digital out connector/din.
The logitech control pod shows the input as Coax, but that there is no digital signal being sent to it. I also have no sound from the speakers.
I've read various ways to fix this issue, some of which talk about changing the sound card settings and dvd software settings (Catherina, the administrator for this forum posted some stuff); however, I don't know where to do this in my Creative software. One of the posts says to go to Start/Programs/Creative/Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS/Creative AudioHQ and click on the Device Controls icon and then select the Decoder tab and change the SPDIF settings or something. I don't have a Decoder tab as an option. I do notice on the Bit Accurate Mode tab that the section for S/PDIF input signal monitoring shows that the S/PDIF-In signal is an "Unknown or invalid signal."
Could someone please tell me specifically what I need to do and in what software (Creative, Logitech's, my DVD software) to get this set up? Again, all I've done is hooked up the Logitech control pod to the sound card's digital out via a digital coax cable. I haven't done anything else other than upgrade the Creative software.

Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS with Logitech Z680 Speakers. HELP

Okay, I recently purchased the Logitech Z680 5. set w/ the Audigy 2 ZS sound card (not platinum pro version). Im really happy with it, but doing some research on other forums has given me a LOT of questions and confusion. Here is what I need to know:
To begin with, this section under "support" located at the logitech page (link below)
http://logitech-en-amr.custhelp.com/...fAaVouh&p_lva=& p_sp=cF9zcmNoPTEmcF9zb3J0X2J5PSZwX2dyaWRzb3J0PSZwX 3Jvd9jbnQ9MjYmcF9wcm9kX2x2bDE9JnBfcHJvZF9sdmwyPSZw X3BhZ2U9MSZwX3NlYXJjaF90ZXh0PVotNjgw&p_li=
says that to get TRUE 5. sound with my soundcard and speakers I need to have a digital audio cable that goes from the back of my DVD ROM into the soundcard (like the old ones you put in the back of your CD rom to your mother board to get cd audio). NONE of the local computer stores in the area carry this cable and ALL say I shouldnt need it. WHY do I need it, and where can I find it assuming I do?
Secondly, it says I need a digital connection to get TRUE 5. sound, not analog. So if I connect a coax from my speakers to the soundcard (using an RCA adapter since it wont fit into the back of the sound card) im getting better 5. for gaming and movies than I will with analog?
I really just want to take FULL advantage of these two products to give me awesome 5. sound in gaming. This is all I know so far in doing so, PLEASE critique any errors:
- I had to disable the digital decoder of the Audigy 2 to allow my speakers to decode. I also had to disable decoders built into media software
- I had to configure both windows and my sound card (and my games/dvd software) to play 5. sound.
-I had to hookup a digital audio connector from my DVD Rom to my soundcard
- I had to connect a digital coax from my 680z's to my sound card (along with a mini jack for the coax to fit into the soundcard).
- I had to select "Digital Output Only" and "Synchronize with control panel" under the speaker settings.
Assuming ALL this is done, is this everything I can do to take full advantage of the 5. sound this setup can give me, and will digital REALLY give me the 5. sound over the analog, and is there ANYTHING else I need to consider.
Thank you for your help:-John

I've just posted a similar question today. I spent hours trawling the web looking at AC3 and everything associated with it yesterday - still not 00% on it though. I'm with you entirely in the game department except my external decoder only has a digital coax input (the optical is for my Xbox) - I don't have the choice of digi vs analogue as you seem to have.
The only thing I'm not sure if you're aware of is that the set-up you describe doesn't give you Dolby Digital as there is no on-board DD (AC3) encoder. You'll only get DD 5. from AC3 encoded sources like DVDs - you can either set the digital output to passthrough and decode externally or you can decode internally on the Audigy and use the analogues. Not sure which of your decoders is highest quality. I think the 5. you're hearing for games is generated by the Creative hard/software and you'll never get "true" 5. if "true" means Dolby Digital. Having said that, who cares whether it's DD or not if the gunshots sound like they are coming from behind you and you're getting a decent experience ?!
Maybe you can help me in that respect - f you have set up your system as below (Aud 2 ZS to mini-jack/coax and in to your digi coax input on your external decoder), how did it sound? Did you get all 6 channels during the tests? If you think it sounded good for games then I'm off out to get an Audigy 2 ZS and get going because unless I can find a sound card with AC3 encoder (which I can't), then that's my only option. PLEASE let me know if it sounded good to you.
Cheers

Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS and Logitech 5.1 Surround So

Hello everyone, this is my first post on these forums, so I thought I'd just start out by saying hello.
I also have a bit of a problem. For the past several months I've had a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS and a set of Logitech X-530 5. Surround Sound speakers hooked up to my computer. For a these past few months, only two of my speakers have been functionable.
I know they're not broken, because I can plug in separate cables into a certain plug and either my two front speakers will work, my two rear speakers will work, or my center speaker will work. And yes I do have the most recent drivers for my card. :P
If anyone would be able to help me with this problem, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
By the way, here's a picture of the X-530 Speakers I'm using, just in case anybody needs to see them for reference:

HELP!! Audigy 2 ZS + Logitech Z5500 speak

Hi, i have the Audigy 2 ZS and Logitech Z5500 speaker (with decoder), i plug the speaker wires and 3 plugs correctly with the sound card, i install the Audigy 2 ZS software and driver by default, and i have set the speaker setting to 5. on the sound card, when i test the speakers from the sound card, the "channel" buttom, i can only hear "front left" and "front right", no sound coming from center and rears and sub. i have set the speaker to 5. on the speaker control pad, and from the speaker control pad had set to "direct", not optical or coax, i think everything is setup correctly. i also tried to disable the decoder from Audigy 2 ZS, but no change, when i press "channel", only can hear "front left" and "front right". Please help me......... thanks alot.

i am 00% sure everything is connected correctly. When I use the Creative SB audigy 2 ZS software to test the speakers, on the "channel" buttom, i only hear sound coming from ?front left? and ?front right?, the rears and sub have no sound, I have set to ?6 channel? on the speaker control pad, and have set to 5. on Audigy 2 ZS, I had tried to disable the decoder from the sound card, but the problem still exist. When I set the speaker control pad to ?direct? effect on ?6 channel?, and test with the Audigy, I can hear ?front rightcenter?..all working, but when I listen to MP3 and CD, there are no sound come from the center speaker (on windows xp pro), But when I listen to MP3 and CD on Windows 98 (I have 2 systems installed on my computer), sound come from all speakers. Therefore, I believe that the sound card has problem running on Windows XP pro.

Please Help! Audigy 2 ZS coaxal conection to Logitech Z - 5500

Please help! I can't connect Audigy's digital autput to speaker's digital input, - they are different. I have a coaxial cable with mono plug, it fits to digital input of the speakers but doesn't fit to output of the audio card, because the card's ouput are most complicated (stereo or some else). I thoudgt i found the way out. I used an adapter thet transfers signal from one stereo plug to two mono plugs - right and left. I attached stereo plug of the adapter to card's digital output and one of two plugs from other end to the digital input of the speakers. So get the soud, but i though suspect thet i don't get full-fledged sound, after all the second channal is inactive, and if i swap right channel to left the sound differs.
How can i get full 5.1 digital sound Audigy 2 ZS / Logitech Z - 5500

i am 00% sure everything is connected correctly. When I use the Creative SB audigy 2 ZS software to test the speakers, on the "channel" buttom, i only hear sound coming from ?front left? and ?front right?, the rears and sub have no sound, I have set to ?6 channel? on the speaker control pad, and have set to 5. on Audigy 2 ZS, I had tried to disable the decoder from the sound card, but the problem still exist. When I set the speaker control pad to ?direct? effect on ?6 channel?, and test with the Audigy, I can hear ?front rightcenter?..all working, but when I listen to MP3 and CD, there are no sound come from the center speaker (on windows xp pro), But when I listen to MP3 and CD on Windows 98 (I have 2 systems installed on my computer), sound come from all speakers. Therefore, I believe that the sound card has problem running on Windows XP pro.
