  • Audigy Sound Blaster and Remotely controlled speake

    I own Sound Blaster Audigy card and I would like to purchase set of Dolby surround speakers that would work flawlessly with that card. I am thinking to buy Creative speakers since they also make this card, but I need a set that could be remotely controlled, either through wire or wirelessly. Anyone out there with this older model of Audigy that has surround speakers connected to it which can be remotely controlled? Any suggestions? I wrote an email with my question to Creative sales, but nobody responded yet.
    Thank you,

    If it is the very first Audigy model (Audigy ) then it a 5. soundcard. So any 5. speaker system or below would work nati'vely with your soundcard. If you choose a 6. or 7. system they usually have an upmix function to make 5. sounds play over all satellites.
    Also, most speaker sets (regardless of manufacturer) uses some kind of remote control (either through cable or IR).
    Your question is extremely hard to answer if you are looking for tips on which speaker set to buy, but easy to answer if we take the question "Anyone out there with this older model of Audigy that has surround speakers connected to it which can be remotely controlled?" at face value as everyone with any kind of speakers should have some kind of control pod or IR remote control to their speakers.
    Edit: I will try to answer your question: you can choose whatever speaker set you want as I think it is safe to say they all got either a cable remote control or an IR remote. The question then becomes what exactly you are looking for and in what price range.

  • Audigy 2 ZS and windows 7 only mapping a 2.1 speaker playback

    =Audigy 2 ZS and windows 7 only mapping a 2. speaker playback? I have an Audigy 2 ZS and windows 7-64,?it seems to be?only? mapping a 2. speaker setup for audio playback?with regards to WMP, Mediasource player and other similar sources.
    Under Xp and vista would have just selected surroundsound under the creative audio console, but now that option is unavailable and probably not supported under Win7.
    I have a 5. set of speakers, 5. mapping?is working for sources that do support it such as games and DVDs.
    My question is"is this a known problem with my card and win7 or a problem with my system setup/configuration"
    For the time being, i'm having to boot into Vista whenever?I fancy listening to some music which is of course quite inconvenient.
    Please someone let me know if there is a fix for this, creative mod or user, anyone.
    Much appreciated,
    Screwy.

    It is no 7. support, only 5.
    You can try to install this:

    but before you do completely uninstall all Creative drivers and software from system. I recommend this method;

  • Audigy 2 ZS and inspire T7700 no 7.1 with mov

    Hello. Maybe you can help me:
    I was trying to watch Episode one (with Dolby sourround EX) with power DVD 6 an Windvd 6 plat but i'm having problems with my 8 channel output because when i start the THX optimizer, the sound that is supoused to be heard on my side speakers, comes from the rear speakers and the sound from channels 6 & 7 (Rear center) its also coming from those speakers. This Failure also happens with the Windvd Channel test: side speakers doesn't work and in power DVD 6, CLMEI II technology does not work with side speakers. The only way to get sound from my side speakers is with CMMS.
    The tests for the THX console for audigy 2 complete succesfully altough it keeps me saying that my side speaker and sub aren't wired correctly (polarization test). The channel and noise testing goes ok besides that.
    This problem is exclusi've to DVD watching beacause with EAX HD 3.0 or 4.0 games, i'm not having any problem.
    is Dolby digital EX in episode really works with 7. configurations (region 4)?
    How do i need to configure this players to work with the installed decoders?
    Are my speaker set defecti've?
    Can i buy some kind of monster cable to imrpove my sound?
    It's that all right that the sound from 5. tracks (DD or DTS) is played from the front and rear speaker and not in the side ones?
    Note:
    The supoused wiring problems repeats itself even if i change the connector of the the side speakers with the rear ones (that are soppoused to work fine). That means (i think) this problem isn't caused by the speakers wiring (i think i made it ok) could it be that the 7. cable is deffecti've?
    What to do? Please Help me
    Creative Staff: where i can go to check this on Mexico city? is there any sopport center where i can go and get some help?
    My config:
    Audigy 2 ZS and Creative inspire 7. T7700

    My guess is that your PowerDVD and WinDVD versions don't have ES support and you're using the programs to decode. This might be the case if you are configuring the programs for multiple speakers. If you are, try configuring them for SPDIF output, then make sure the soundcard is configured to decode AC3/DTS (it probably is). Does that help?

  • 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:

    Turn on CMSS if you have not done so.

  • Audigy 2 zs and logitec z

    Hi there,
    I can't seem to figure out which digital cable to use to connect audigy 2 zs and my speaker system (logitec z680). the speaker system has a option of digital coaxial and optical output but the sound card doesn't have coaxial or optical ports (why wouldn't this sound card have coaxial port when most entertainment media has it's?).
    My speakers work (for most part) with analog cables, but i want to enjoy the actual digital experience thats meant to be with these speakers and this card but it appears that i can't. Can you plz tell me what to do because with analog cables, either my center speaker doesn't work or if that works, other speakers don't work. Can you tell me which digital cable should i use? because for some reason, not many people know which digital cable you have mentioned in ur user manual.
    I am really fed up because i just spent over $500 in total and i can't enjoy all the quality of this speaker system and the soundcard that makes up the price.
    thank you

    Hi there
    If you are looking to use the coax then you need the converter (mini plug to female RCA). I'd be amazed if Creative couldn't sell you one. I got one as part of my GD580 pack. I think it is a special mini-plug though specific for this job.
    Word of warning on the coax digital if you do hook it up - no good for gaming. You need the analogues for the best gaming sound (EAX doesn't come through digital SPDIF - only stereo through the SPDIF believe it or not). The coax digital should do you for DVDs and similar DD5./AC3 encoded material but only if you set the SPDIF to passthrough and allow an external decoder to take care of converting to the 6 discrete signals.
    The question is therefore which has the best decoder - the Audigy or the z680? I don't know the answer to that but knowing the agony I've just been through with my GD580, I'd recommend sticking with the analogues. I'm upgrading my system to do exactly that. If you were going to a decent Home Theatre decoder/amp with the digital signal then that may be one case where the digi out from the card would be of use.
    Hope that hel
    ps.

  • AUDIGY 2 ZS AND GIGAWORKS DVD PLAYBACK H

    Hi
    I have just purchased an Audigy 2 ZS and the Gigaworks speakers, I have a problem that is driving me nuts.
    Whether I use Power DVD or Windows media player I cant get DVDS to sound right
    If i use Dolby prologic 2 or CLMEI-2 settings I get either a robotic kind of sound or low bass
    If I use no effects in the DVD software and the CMSS or 2 I get my 7. sound but the voices in DVDs are coming from the side and rear speakers too. As far as Im aware I should only be getting ambient sounds and the voices should only be coming from the front.
    Could anyone please shed some light on this, what settings should i use to get:
    7. sound with the bass sounding loud
    Voices only coming from front/center speakers
    Thanks for any advice.

    Hi asamp,
    I reckon both you and me are "PC DVD Enthusiasts" (though I do also play a hell lots of games).
    () Regarding Hardware / Software Decoding
    IMHO, hardware decoding (by your soundcard) should be much better than software decoding (by your DVD software), both in terms of sound quality and efficiency (any latency), along with alleviating workload from your CPU. Hardware solution is almost always better than Software solution.
    (2) Regarding EAX with DVD Movies
    IMHO, EAX are perfect for games but bad for music & movies. In games surely we all want positional audio along with realistic environmental effects such as reverb and occlusion. But for ordinary MP3 playback and especially for DVD movies, I definitely wouldn't want any artificial funky effects such as "Opera Hall" or "Jazz Club".
    (3) Regarding CMSS with DVD Movies
    CMSS is good for upmixing ordinary stereo contents to simulated surround sounds (or "parallel stereo" mode), similar in functions to Dolby Pro Logic II or DTS Neo:6. But for DVD movies (and I mean DVD movies, not those lame DivX / XVid rips), audio contents are already encoded by Dolby Digital / Dolby Digital EX / DTS / DTS-ES for "real" surround sounds. There is definitely no need to enable CMSS which won't do you any good at all but bad. A quote from Guru 3D about CMSS with DVD movies:
    http://www.guru3d.com/article/sound/246/4/
    <EM><FONT color=#0033ff>I tried to enable 3D Creative MultiSpeaker Surround, or 3D CMSS for short. As I explained pages ago, this feature will simulate surround sound on two speakers (CMSS2) or it will simulate surround sound on 5. or 6. system from a stereo source (CMSS). With multi-channel the effect is not subtle and actually is highly dis-recommended. Things change though when you are watching a movie that does not have multi-channel sound. As stated earlier, XVID and DIVX, a large sum of these movies are recorded in 2 channel Stereo or 2.0 DD sound. That's where 3D CMSS comes in quite handy. Much like Dolby Pro Logic the spatial orientation of 3D CMSS kicked in nicely as you get a feeling of an Dolby Digital 5. movie. Voices are placed to the middle speaker, you can hear action in the rear, the explosions came from the subwoofer, yes Shrek 2 was sounding awesome I know this is a bit of a subjecti've yet bold statement, but 3D CMSS on the X-Fi might even sound better then Dolby Pro Logic (2). Ehm, I don't think it can get much better then this in this 2 channel mode. Of course Dolby Digital and DTS (ES) is the much preferred option here as it blows all this away.</EM>

  • Audigy 2 equalizer and Megaworks 550

    Im using the equalizer on the sb audigy 2 to boost my sound volume everything on the eq is on 2 except the bass which I put to 4 to avoid sound destoration.
    So will anything happen to my speakers if I keep using them like this?
    I atached some cooling ribs on the back of subwoofer to cool down the amp, i've also played for 20 mins on max volume and none of speaker blew and the sub was pumping out cool air but im no speaker expert so can anyone confirm that this is safe?

    Ronnitude,
    Unfortunately the Audigy 2 NX cannot decode AC3 Audio Streams input over the optical jack. This is due to limitations of the USB connection. It can playback stereo audio that is input over USB but I suspect what you are wanting is surround. Your best bet for this would be an external decoder designed for computer speakers. The DDTS-00 Decoder would be perfect for this.

  • Audigy 5 Rx and windows 7 64

    I have just purchased the Audigy 5 Rx and windows 7 64 will not install this sound card , I can find in the device manager the Multimedia Audio controller card but when I try to install the drivers windows returns an error in installing them is there a trick or something I am missing , I have tried since Dec 30 with no luck even took the card out and put it back in , I am using a PCIe slot

    Look on your CD for a "drivers" folder and then the WDM. You can browse to this in device manager and manually install your drivers by finding your AUDIGY 5, double clicking, then choose update driver, and then browse my computer for driver software. After installing, reboot. Retest the card. I have done this several times over the years when "setup.exe" on the CD wont work.

    Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
    1. Remove the headphone.
        If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
        in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
        Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
    2. Reset PRAM.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
    3. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

    Hi Jayliin,
    Take it to the Apple Store where you purchased it from. It is still under warranty. They will replace it if necessary.

  • Audigy 2 Value and Windows 7 64bit driver don't work

    my first Audigy SE before Audigy 2 Value (SB0400) worked perfect on Windows 7 64bit
    with Audigy 2 Value SB0400 i tried 3 drivers , including the beta from the creative support , original and daniel_k driver and after reboot the windows hangs at LOGO and stays there.

    Re: SB Audigy 2 ZS and Windows 7 - Full Package driver?T While Creative has written new drivers and some applications for Windows 7/Vista for the Audigy, they have not re-written or updated all of the original applications on the CD. This card is very old now. What Daniel K. did was take all of the applications or most of them, and tweaked them to properly install and include themselves in the registry on operating systems other than Windows XP. For the full and most recent package, check here:
    http://forums.creative.com/t5/Sound-...009/td-p/53838
    If the application you want is not included in his package, then you can try downloading the official Creative version and install it on your system in "compatibility mode" by right clicking the file, and choosing properties, and then the compatibility tab and choosing "Windows XP service pack 2 or 3" and it may or may not function.

  • HT4587 My airport express and wireless airplay speaker are connected to wife, but airplay and homesharing are not working...what to do?

    My airport express and wireless airplay speaker are connected to WIFI, but airplay and homesharing are not working...what to do?  Everything was working fine until about two weeks ago, all of the sudden airplay has disappeared from the iphone, itunes on the laptop, and the apple remote for iphone.  I have restarted the router many times, re-setup the airplay speaker and the airport express and booth are showing as being properly connected to the router when I log into the router IP address.  I was on the phone with Apple support for 30 minutes they blames verizon, got on the phone with verizon and they stated the settings were all correct and compatible with apple, got back on the phone with apple and they again are blaming verizon and trying to get me to get an airport extreme because that would fix the problem...any suggestions, please!

    There are three Airport resets, soft, hard and factory default.  It would probably be beneficial if you tried each one in sequence.  Actually, you could jump to the factory default reset if you don't mind reconfiguring from scratch.
