Audigy 2 nx and inspire 5

hello
i have just got audigy 2 nx card and i have inspire 5700 digital speakers.Please tell me how can i connect audigy 2 nx to the speakers.Nx card doesnot have digital out connector for the digital din.Only options are the analog,s/pdif outand optical out on nx card, no s/pdif and optical cables are provided with the card.For analog the decoder of the speaker set has only two option i,e rear and front (no center/subwoofer option).So should i use optical out option ?
Another question is that many ppl are saying that audigy 2 nx card is a fraud and a failure and sudigy 2 zs is far better, is it true ?

Any idea?
Audigy 2 NX supports 6. sound. So i should hear audio on my rear center when i'm testing speakers under speaker settings (channel and noise).

Audigy 2 and inspire 5500

hey there,
i know this isnt strictly about mobo's but i am using a k7n2 one so plz help, lol
ive got an audigy 2 sound card and was wondering what speakers to get. im after a 5.1 set and was thinking of getting creatives inspire 5500. they are digital but is this really going to make a difference. my main use is gaming and listening to music so will the digital set be worth it as the audigy 2 has a dsp on board?
cheers

I just last weekend blew my EV-Sonics and sent them back (again).
I compared sound systems in the stores and found for the money the Logitech Z-560 to be tops.
Just for ha ha's I compared side by side the Logitech
Z-560 4.1 and the Z-680 6.1 speakers and could not justify paying twice for the Z-680 system.
I purchased the Z-560 and use the Audigy 2 platinum with them and I haven't blown them up. Great sound and you can actually turn them up without them going silent suddenly.
http://www.newegg.com has an incredible price on them now but I paid $50.00 more to have them right away.
Your not going to beat that deal anywhere.

Incompatibility between Audigy SE and Inspire T7900

Hello I have bought the Creative Inspire T7900 7.1 speakers. I have a motherboard MSI K8N Diamon Plus with Audigy SE on board. My side satellites don't work !!! I mention that:- I have the latest audio XP drivers for my on board audio- the cables are in the right positions- the soft settings are put on 7.1 - the CMSS is on- in my motherboard help book I saw a drawing (schematics) where for an 8 channel sound (7.1) you have to have 4 jacks which will be connected to the audio board- the cable from Creative, which connects the sub (amplif) with the PC, has only 3 jacks for the PC end
Please help me! Thank you

Disconnect the grey audio cable from the speaker subwoofer and grab a piece of 3.5mm minijack stereo cable. Connect one end of the stereo cable to the audio port on the speaker that you have just disconnected and the other end to your onboard audio side audio jack.

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.

I have a strange problem with my audio in Vista. I have a Creative Audigy 2 and Creative 6700 speakers. My full system specification is below but please note I did not have this issue in my previous Vista build - its only happening since I did a reinstall.

I have to then increase the volume by a large amount for it to start playing sound again and then turn it down to listening volume. This issue is not application specific - it happens in everything: Winamp, WMP, games, etc etc?I'm using [color="#000000"]Creative Sound Blaster Audigy series Vista Driver 2.2.0002 and I've tried reinstall several times.

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

Question about Audigy 4 and bug report regarding the THX-cons

Will there be a non-pro version of the Audigy 4 and when?
The THX-console doesn't remember its settings when I switch from one speaker config to another. This is pretty annoying since I use both a hi-fi system and headphones.
Could you fix this please?
Thanks!

thanks for info. Sorry I didn't post this earlier but the slider has corrected itself. Also the is probably being used by the os

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 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 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

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 " )

Microphone , Audigy Se and Windows 7 64bit

*Microphone , Audigy Se and Windows 7 64bit's I have wasted several hours today trying to resolve this issue upto and including trawling the internet for a solution and completely removing and reinstalling drivers from disc and updating twice. Ultimately I downloaded an update from WIndows - Absolutely nothing, nada works!
I have the Mic Jack for my headphones plugged into the blue line in port - tried and tested on my system card (which works) but I consistently get Line--in Currently Unavailablke for this port suggesting that Creative are totally out to lunch on this one.
I have right-clicked and set levels, tried setting it as default, etc, etc, etc... nothing.
Has anyone succesfully got their mic to work uunder Win 7 64bit's
- Love how it says on the box that Vista nad WIn 7 are supported,,,? guess the partially bit was omitted!
I loathe wondows on any given day of the week but my Mac is currently down so I have no choice but to use this, my wifes machine... NOthiong but lost time whereas if I were on the mac I would be using that time producti'vely, with working software too I might add!
Hope someone has a fix for this because this machine is just one reboot away from going out the frogging window!!!

'sHi,
Are you using this driver? Are you getting no sound from your microphone or is nothing being recorded?
Please go to Control Panel, Sound make sure that the Microphone option is set as default and that the mic levels are adjusted accordingly, not mute.
If this is not working for you, Customer Support can be contacted using this http://support.creative.com/Downloads/searchdownloads.aspx?filename=

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.

yeah thats its, i've recently had a hard dri've crash and had to reinstall everything on my pc, i had the creative asio drivers before but they aren't there now.
The thing is though i lost my installation cd for my audigy 2 and i'm using my mates to install, however when i try to install card from cd it says there no audigy 2 card present, so i had to install the drivers manually by searching on the cd and the sound works fine.
I'm thinking my mate doesn't have the same audigy 2 card as me and thats why it aint working, do you know how i can find out which audigy 2 i have?
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

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).

Audigy 4 and

I would like to know whether you can experience full EAX-effects with Audigy 4 and soundfonts (sf2)? To be precise, I mean real-time effects, that is what you here when you are actually playing on your keyboard. I know this is not possible with for instance Creative Li've! 24 (You only get real-time effects with Microsoft GS Wavetable SW synth, which does not use downloadable sf2 fonts). The question is important, since sf2 without EAX sounds, well, rather "dry".

install the support pack and now the sound? works strangely apart from GAMES. they chop and distort!!
no end to madness !!!! im gonna have to try all these support packs or is they any way to stop the distortion?
