Audigy 2 OEM sound quest

I have a Audigy 2 value oem sound card.
Do anyone have a audigy 2 value sound card? Do you guys experience hissing noise on this card? Also I feel this card cannot take high level treble signal in music, even with my Sennheiser PX00. This is suppose to be a good head phone. I feel audigy 2 value is even not as good as the onboard sound. Is this because of this particular piece of card I have or it's because audigy 2 value suck?

Hello
I have the same card Too.
i have no problems with hissing. My problems are in very different aspects. With very low level of background effects in some games ( UT2004, Colin Mcrae 04) Infact with all games i have tried on My PC. These effects are weak in EAX console too. All other sounds are good.
I have problems with Dolby Digital EX decoder too. When I play DVD-Video I've heard sound only from rear speakers. when I check the field to hear rear speakers from rear and side speaker it is no effect.
I don't know wath to do. I have usin latest di'vers, eax console, and winXP SP2.
Thanks in advance!!!

Creative Audigy OEM + Genius SW-HF 5.1 5000 = grand problem with subwoo

Hello!
I bought Audigy OEM 2 days ago, connected it to my motherboard and installed provided software. After updating I pluged in my headphones - everything was brilliant. But in the evening I connected my 5. speakers - Genius SW-HF 5. 5000 Home Theater and I can't hear my subwoofer. In mp3, movies or games it's dead, but in speakers configuration I can hear noise from it, like it should be. Everything is connected like it ought to be and like I said software is the newest one from creative website.
I've found similar problem on this forum:
Here it is
I don't wanna any bass redirection because my soobwoofer doesn't sound anyway, only other speakers give more bass.
And here is my question:
Where are drivers which will solve my problem?
The "newest" ones are pretty old (9 Oct 06), didn't you have time to repair them?
You should patch them because me and many other people want to use our sound cards. I googled (Polish Google) for answers and found A LOT of similar cases and NO response from your support group.
What is this??
I've thought about x-fi sound card but will you guarantee me that it will work properly because it costs twice as much? I don't think so.
Oh and by the way, on the Realtek integrated sound card everything is like it should be but the sound quality is worse, so it can work properly.
Sempron 2800+
Gigabyte GA-7N400-L
Audigy OEM
Sapphire Radeon 9600XT
Windows XP with SP2 and every update available?
52 RAM DDR
80GB Samsung HDD
I'm waiting for response from support group, sorry for my English?

SB Audigy OEM and Vista with SP

I've just purchased the Audigy OEM with the external SPDIF connection. I have plugged this in to my amp (Marantz 9200) and can get sound using Vista Media Centre and DTS or Dolby sound ok. I'm unable to play any music however via the SPDIF connector. Does anybody know a fix for this? Will music play via media player via optical/coax, or do you have to connect the single pin to stereo output?Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately if you read the release notes for the Vista compatible driver it tells you not to use it on your particular sound card ;(?http://us.creative.com/support/downl...rtype=&x=2&y=7?Notes:
DO NOT?install this driver for Sound Blaster Li've! 24-bit, Sound Blaster Audigy LS, Sound Blaster Audigy SE, or Sound Blaster Audigy Value.<However when you tell the site you have an Audigy Value card it directs you to these incompatible drivers
go go Creative

Audigy 2 sound card problems

I am hoping that someone out there can help me in a crucial situation.
I am using an Audigy 2 sound card with creative 5. speakers.
I also use Adobe Audition to edit, record sessions for my voice-over jobs.
Recently, I attempted to hook up a web cam so that I could see my grand daughter on the west coast.
After hooking up the web cam, I noticed my home studio environment changed drastically. I began having trouble with recording using my microphone through my Macki mixer. I began hearing a continuous hiss that I had never experienced before.
In fact after uninstalling the web cam, and restarting my computer, I got that horrible blue screen on my computer indicating the world was about to end! Smile
Long story short, I was able to finally get my computer back up, but I continue to experience problems recording "clean' audio".
Three things, after reinstalling Creative from disc several times and restarting my computer I receive a window stating Creative Media Source Detector.....Unable to load needed components....Please reinstall the application"
Also, when trying to test my sound hardware I get a message stating...Direct play voice setup..."an error occurred during direct play voice setup....error code 0x80004005
Last but not least I cannot access the "Creative diagnostic feature on my computer. I only get a small window for this feature that will not open up fully and allow me to run a diagnostic test!
I know this is a lot to absorb, but I cannot get anyone from Creative to address my problems because I am out of warranty and therefore not getting any love from this company.
Need your advice and or guidance on this.
Please respond when time allows.

Re: Audigy 2 sound card problems? use add/remove programs and remove all creative software and drivers, then do the same for your web cam and unplug it
restart your pc
download and install [url="http://downloads.guru3d.com/Guru3D---Driver-Sweeper-%28Setup%29-download-655.html" rel="nofollow">driver sweeper[/url] and use it to clean up any left over creative bits and bobs and restart your pc when it asks you to
now download and install the [url="http://support.creative.com/Products/product_list.aspx?catID=&CatName=Sound+Blaster" rel="nofollow">latest audigy drivers[/url]
once your back in to windows try recording something and see if everything's back to normal
now reinstalling your web cam but don't reinstall using the cd that came with it
find the manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers
install cd's best avoided simply because the software and drivers they contain are typically the initial release versions, and so potentially very old
and i think we can all agree that old, buggy drivers can be a real pain

Problems with Audigy 4 sound c

Ok, well I bought a new Gateway computer (FX400) speced with the audigy 4 sound card. Well I got it all set up, I ran a DVD and it ran beautifully, but then I noticed that when some system sound occured I got some of this wierd feeback, I also noticed it while using my mic, and I also noticed it while I was gaming on World of Warcraft, and Counter-Strike Source. First I tried downloading the updates for the card, no change. I then called Gateway, and they concluded that the card must be bad, well they came and installed a new one and the same problems occured. I was wondering if anyone else was having the problem I am having, and if there is anyway I can fix it with some sort of patch.
Thank for any support anyone can give me.

I just got a FX400XL from gateway with the audigy 4 sound card and the logitech z 5300 5. speakers and i get the popping/crackling noise in my speakers. It actually sounds more like a spark noise like if?you touch two li've wires together. So i?tried switching the speakers....that didn't work,?I hear it on the logitech speakers as well as the factory speakers and in headphones.
I tried switching the slot the card is in on the motherboard....that didn't work. I've installed?every driver for it possible....that didn't work.
I've tried changing power strips and moving the speakers further away from the tower and turning off my cell?phone......doesn't work. Gateway even replaced the soundcard....didn't work. Are?you seeing the trend here.
I notice that?I hear the noise when?I play F.E.A.R., when?I play streaming internet audio and video, flash videos and with certain programs like aim triton when some one signs on or off or when?I send an instant message it makes the sound. Its getting really annoying and I've read all the posts on possible solutions and what not.
I wish someone from creative would at least acknowledge that most of us here are suffering from this issue and?to assure us that their company is taking the proper steps to remedy this obvious product malfunction. Granted no product is perfect but if creative is a company?that advertises?the quality and care of their merchandise i would at least expect to them to recognize these issues and manage them with the quality and care that they so pride themselves in having. Failure to do so would only represent false advertising on the company's behalf.

Audigy 2 ZS and Power DVD 5 Surround Sound Questi

I am a bit new to home computing so any help would be appreciated. I am using an Audigy 2 ZS with Creative 7. speakers. I have connected the "spdif" cable from my Audigy 2 ZS to my DVD Rom player.My question is this - when using my Cyberlink Power DVD player,if I select the audio option to use my "spdif" will I get all the surround sound options(dts,dolby digital 5. etc.) to work even though it says that my current version of Power DVD(version 5)does not support all these sound options.Does the spdif connection to my Audigy card mean that it will decode all the various surround sound options regardless of what my DVD player can decode.

I?d recommend you to upgrade to WINDVD 6 or PowerDVD 6 (WinDVD is better). but if u can't...
If u want to use 7. channel audio with PowerDVD 5,these are the things u need configured:
) Speaker Settings Panel: 7. speaker option selected.
Digital Output Only disabled.
2) Explorer --> Control Panel --> Audio HQ --> Device Controls --> Decoder --> Settings --> Enable Dolby Digital EX and Enable DTS-ES Matrix 6.
3) PowerDVD 5 --> In the Speaker settings select the SPDIF Output option. (In this case, the software player sends the digital signal through spdif to the soundboard and since the soundboard has Dolby EX and DTS-ES built-in decoding).
This SPDIF option doesn?t mean that u get ONLY spdif output (although u get it) but that the signal is processed by whatever "thing" (software or hardware) is receiving it, instead of being processed by PowerDVD.
Hope this helps you.

Audigy 2 Sound volume keeps dropping to 0 by itself

? I have an Audigy 2 (Dell OEM) card, running on XP SP3 in a Dell XPS 630i PC. I'm using daniel_k support pack 3.6. 5. analog speakers (Altec Lansing ADA 995)
Everything has been working well,?until in the past few days, after some time, the volume drops to 0 by itself. Resetting it in the volume control in systray or in surround mixer, it may stay at the chosen setting for a while, then drops back to 0. I have not been able to associate the problem with any particular window being open, or sound being used in e.g. playing music. Diagnostics passes all tests when the volume is not 0)
Although I can't measure the temperature of the Audigy card itself, I don't think there is overheating, as the rear (exhaust) temperature is 35C, according to Nvidia system monitor. Other temps (CPU, GPU, hard dri'ves are also normal.
Advice on the cause would be welcome.

? No, no hibernation and no standby during?hours of use (I don't use a screen saver but close down the PC every night and restart it in the morning). Also no logging in or out, mine is the only account and I auto log in to Windows.
Also no DDL or DTS installed (I uninstalled DDL and DTS that were installed by?Daniel_k's package immediately as I have no use for them).
I have noticed a possible correlation with sudden sounds, such as apps with sound effects (e.g. solitaire type time wasters that I indulge in) or?telephone line ringing from my fax modem, (but according to dxdiag?that uses modem#0?line playback (emulated) and not SB Audigy 2?[EE0]?when the phone rings). It doesn't seem to happen if I'm just using WMP to play music or using an app that has no particular sound effects.
All direct sound?tests pass in dxdiag.
I do hope it's not the card going. I've had it in various PCs since 2003.

Audigy 2 NX quest

So I have a solution to the problem but I wanted to check to see what everyone thought before I went out and spent money on a replacement part.
A day or two ago my Audigy 2 NX (external sound card) just stoped getting power (it seems). All the lights went blank but occasionally they will blink for a few sequences then go blank again. The strange thing is that the red internal lead behind the optical out/in is on...just nothing else seems to be getting power.
Things I have tried:
I uninstalled everything and tried reinstalling but it does not recognize the NX (perhaps because it has no power?)
I switched USB ports to see if that was the problem.
I plugged the NX directly into the wall (thinking the surge protector might have a bad plug).
After all this did not fix the problem, the only thing I thought made sense was that it was the power adapter that had just gone out. The adapter itself seemed overly hot and was making more internal noise than I thought was normal but that does not nessisarily prove anything. There is a replacement part but, again, I am only running of surface logic so I thought I would post here to get a second opinion before I spent any money on something that may, in fact, not even be the problem.
Thanks for any assistance you can give me.

Ok so I found some posts that seem to have the same problem but no solution so I will keep checking this post to see if anyone tried the replacement cable or found something else that worked.

[Soundblaster Audigy 2ZS] Sound cutting out in middle of gamepl

I have Vista, and I never had this problem with XP.
I downloaded the Vista drivers and have ran Windows Update for all the missing drivers.
When I run dxdiag.exe
I go to the sound tabs and find this.
The file ctaud2k.sys is not digitally signed, which means that it has not been tested by Microsoft's Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL). You may be able to get a WHQL logo'd driver from the hardware manufacturer.
For Sound
and Sound 2
Sound 3 says everythign is fine.

I've found that Audigy series cards "cut out" if you alter speaker properties in Vista Control Panel.
Creative umm... bug I think that's what they call it...
For example
I find 6bit, 48000 Hz (DVD Quality) is the highest quality I can set.
I've seen it on Audigy 2, Audigy 2ZS and Audigy 4. Win32 and Win 64.
Is your adapter set to studio quality If so - that's most probably it.
Hope this helps.

SB Audigy 2ZS clicking quest

Before I go through the hassle of tweaking all kinds of settings in windows and scrubbing and reinstall drivers (and thereby getting progressi'vely more frustrated), I want to see if anyone else has had the same problem I am and if they found a solid solution.
I have an Intel P4 based machine with a gugabyte 8KNXP mobo. The only cards in my machine are an ATI Radeon All-In-Wonder 9800 PRO, and my Audigy 2ZS. The vid card is riding in the AGP slot, and I have moved my sound card to every PCI slot except the one next to the video card due to heat reasons.
My sound is perfectly fine whenever I am not gaming. When it does act up, I do not get the crackling I have heard posted here by other people. What I get is a very regular click/pop. It is very sudden, very short, and *very* regular. The clicks are usually about a second and a half apart. The clicking isn't always present. It will come and go. When it shows up, it usually continues until I shut the game down, although there are cases when it will just suddenly stop and everything is ok again.
I have had this problem playing online games. WoW, EQ2, EVE, GuildWars, etc... Non-network games don't give me this problem.
The obvious assumption here is that it is network related. My motherboards onboard network controller is on IRQ 8. My audigy is on IRQ 22. No conflict there.
Has anyone experienced a similar problem?

Hello,
Thanks for the reply! In surround mixer, under source, I do see the last slide on the right is mic, but there isn't a mute option under the slide. I tried moving the slide all the way down, but that didn't help. Any other ideas? I'm desperate!!!!!!! Need communication during game!! Thanks

Audigy, no sound after rest

I recently formatted my hard dri've. After I finished installing Windows XP, I got my Sound Blaster Audigy, DR release 2.2. driver from this website. Except whenever I restart my computer, the sound doesn't work and I have to reinstall the driver to get it to work again! My computer doesn't mention any problems with the soundcard or the drivers and the only solution I've found is to reinstall the driver. Any tips? I'd really hate to go through this process every time I turn on my computer. Thanks!

bump!
