Audigy 2 Platinum, cracks, pops and had enough! Please he

Hi everyone, OK, I know this has been documented before, but I cannot get a resolution. I have an Audigy 2 Platinum. Most importantly, I just built one huge PC out of two perfectly working PC's. The PC the Audigy 2 Platinum was in, was working fine. Now, in my new super duper pc that has everything, it is crackling and popping all over the place, and its really driving me mad. The only time it doesn't crack and pop is when playing a sound file back through Windows Media Player, but i use multi-tracking software, so that doesn't help!
OK, I have two MARC 8 channel soundcards also in my new PC, but they do not conflict. Trust me, they don't. (I removed them and i still had the same fault) I think it is the onboard soundcard on the new Motherboard i have as I checked in MSCONFIG32 and sure enough, it shared the same IRQ. I cannot find how to disable this onboard soundcard in my BIOS which is ASUS Revision 05 (Award Medallion v6.0) Please help as it is driving me into oblivion!
The other difference this PC has over my old one is that it has 4 SCSI divices, two Hard dri'ves (one removable) one 2.2gb ORB dri've, and standard CD dri've.
Please help me!! I am going mad!

Hi guys
If your computer has any VIA chipset, and if your computer has any of the following problems, then you might need this driver.
The computer stops ("freezes", "hangs", "locks up"), or makes unusual noises when playing sounds.
The computer stops, or files are corrupted, when copying to or from an IDE DVD, CDROM, or CDRW dri've.
Sounds played by the computer are distorted or have a "crackling" noise.
The computer stops when playing 3D graphics or games, especially on an ATI Radeon series video card</LI>
There is a patch for VIA chipset and the patch WORKS for me! Try them at - http://www.georgebreese.com/net/software/ Look under "PCI Latency" patch for VIA chipsets. If you do not have a VIA chipset, you could also try the Turbo patch mention at that website.

Audigy platinum ex questions and advice - dual ouput or dual card - motherboard audio op has died

Hi all.
im new to the forums and would like some advice please.
i use my pc for mixing music and DJ'ing, but the problem that i have is that the onboard sound output has died. i need 2 intendant / separate sound outputs, one for preview, and one for main/live output.
Now, is it possible to configure a audigy platinum ex to provide the required outputs, and if so, how.
if this is not possible, can i use a soundblaster live card in the same pc to provide the required outputs, or as i suspect the answer is no to this due to shared file names within the drivers and such, is there a recommended card that i can use in conjunction with the audigy, or will any generic sound card do the job (for preview output).
i dont want to replace the motherboard and reinstall all the software at the moment, and i use mixmiester, fruityloops, reason and such for mixing/creating, and either mixmiester, tracktor, or pcdj fx for dj'ing.
many thanks in advance for your help and advice.
Adrian

mikiem ........... your a STAR.......
i didnt know that you could do that.....using the AISO driver allows access to all sorts of outputs..........when i have time im going to have to see what they all do, and what else is available, but the biggest thing is that it has sorted out some of my immediate problems......
i will need to go through all the software to see if i can get access to these outputs from it all, but it definitely works with mixmiester, so i dont need to re plot all the files.
just so that people know, i set the audigy speaker config to 4.0/4.1 in THX setup, and then looked in the advanced audio output section of mixmiester (under output config) and presto....2 independent audio outputs.
dont suppose that anyone knows where to get a complete and detailed manual for what all the software and hardware does and how to configure it all........
HUGE thanks mikiem........

Permanent fix for hisses, cracks, pops, and squeals!!!

I have been experiencing random cracking, popping, ear deafing squeals, and disappearing sound for sometime with my X-Fi Music Extreme(about 4 years worth). I had experienced all in both Vista and Windows 7. The ear numbing squeals started in the last year or so in both Vista and 7.
Here's how I fixed mine
. Shut down system
2. Disconnect everything from the tower incuding power cord.
3. Press power button for 0 seconds to release any residual power in the system
4. Opened case.
5. Found? installed X-Fi hardware.
6. Remove mounting screw or hold down hardware from the X-Fi card.
7. Firmly pulled card from the tower.
8. Replaced slot with blank slot to cover the opening.
9. Plugged back in all USB, and other devices,
0 . Plugged audio jacks into onboard sound.
. Restarted system.
2. Entered BIOS
3. Enabled onboard sound.
4. X-Fi card was at that point taken to the waste(trash)receptical.(It's not worth giving away for fear of lawsuit for damaging someones ears by the horendous squeals.)
I now how a very nice system without any squeals, pops, crackling, or disappearing sound.
Audio is now excellent!!

: Day 3...
I'm happy to report that my fix has so far proven itself. Still no pops, cracks, hisses, or mind numbing squeals. I'll admit, I'm still a little bit gun shy, especially with headphones. I still catch myself anticipating one of those ear busters.
Also I might add, I honestly can't tell any difference now between the onboard sound and the X-F sound card. Hopefully that's not due to those random deafening decibels.

SB Audigy Platinum SB0090 PlayCenter3_02_52 and SBAX_WBUP2_LB_2_09_0016 proble

I lost my original software CD's for my Audigy Platinum (SB0090.) I downloaded SBAX_WBUP2_LB_2_09_006 drivers and PlayCenter3_02_52 as per the SB download site. The drivers work correctly. When I try to load the PlayCenter3_02_52 it says it won't work with the drivers (SBAX_WBUP2_LB_2_09_006) and that it must have the newer Li've! drivers.
Frustrating to say the least. Incorrect files and a poor knowledge base make it so hard to install the devices. Can someone help with information on the product and files?
Thanks
Martin

Vielleicht habe ich das auch mit der Installation der Audigy verwechselt. Sorry.
Wenn ich derzeit die Treiber der X-Fi installiere, installiere ich immer die ben?tigten Anwendungen von der Original-CD. Erst danach mache ich die Updates von der Web-Seite drauf - allerdings immer manuell. Das Autoupdate habe ich leider noch nie probiert.
Bei der Audigy und 2 habe ich am Schluss auch immer nur die Treiber installiert, sonst nichts. Die Lautsprecher-Einstellungen habe ich dann einfach mit der Audio-Console vorgenommen. Lautst?rke, Bass, H?hen kann man ja genausogut mit den Standard-Windows-Programm vornehmen, den Sinn der zus?tzlichen Creatve-Programme ging mir zunehmend verloren. Bei der X-Fi kann ich leider nicht alles mit Board-Mitteln einstellen, deshalb installiere ich nun wieder die Software..
An Deiner Stelle w?rde ich alles mal deinstallieren. Dann Original-CD und die heruntergeladenen Updates installieren. So klappts bei der X-Fi wunderbar.
Gr?e

So angry and had enough!!!

So let me start this story, I'm 1 bill behind with my BT bills for phone/bt infinity. I have always been granted an extension until the next bill. So in May i paid the February bill and asked for an extension of the May bill until August. The person I spoke to at BT said yes that's no problem and it would be updated on my account. So in the middle of June I get another phone call from BT saying why haven't I paid my May bill and i clearly told them I had asked for an extension in May? So the person on the phone says alright I'll add the extension which should of previously been done ok? Now tonight about 10 minutes ago I recieve a phone call from BT for a THIRD time saying why haven't I paid my May bill. And i clearly tell them again that I've asked for an extension to be applied TWICE already and his response was if I dont pay by Monday the 23rd all my services will be cut off. I have never been so angry and upset at this, I asked for an extension on my bill twice which was confirmed to have been done???? And now apparently it never was, surely I'm not in the wrong here and something needs to be done. Also the caller that has called me tonight was so rude......

I replaced my cracked iphone and had my pictures downloaded to my new one. how do i delete them from my new iphone. it doesnt give the option to delete any of the previously saved pictures.

I cracked my phone and replaced it. most of my pictures were transfered from the cracked iphone to the new one. however, it is not allowing me to delete any of the oringial pictures from the cracked phone on the new one. i am running out of space and want to get rid of pictures i really dont need.

Okay, sorry I was thinking you wanted to delete the pictures on your old iPhone. Go into your camera roll then tap the albums button to get to the album view then tap the edit button (right top) then tap the red circle to delete that album.

Need application software for Audigy Platinum

I just re-installed my Audigy Platinum card and dri've into an XP SP3 system, downloaded the latest drivers from Creative and it works just fine (ty Creative!). I even used the optical out connection to my Denon 5. AVR and it sounds great.
However, I don't have any of the application software and can't seem to download that software from the website without having some old application software already installed. Is there a work around?
I do have the original disk for the following Creative cards (which I also own):
Sound Blaster 6 PCI (part # 220ML0003020)
Sound Blaster Li've!? (part # 220ML0003060)
Sound Blaster AWE64 (part # 73330530-)
I'm reluctant to try installing any of the applications from these disks in order to enable the appropriate application software to be downloaded/installed off the web, as I don't want to risk messing up the present clean driver installation. I did try putting the disks in the dvd dri've to see if that would enable the download/install process (this has worked with other products) to no avail.
I would very much like to have the complete set of applications for this still excellent card/dri've so I can enjoy the full functionality of the Audigy Platinum.
Any and all assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
John W. Wright

THANK YOU FOR THE ISO!!!
It worked flawlessly.
However, I did a messy job of installing it. I had installed the beta drivers before using the iso, and then when I installed the CD and its drivers none of the utilities worked. I then tried uninstalling the utilities but the installation stalled and failed repeatedly. Luckily, I had the option to system restore, but it was on a save point in the middle of installation. So its a pretty sloppy job.
One thing: when switching between modules (EQ, or volume control, or EAX); there is a 6 second wait.
Also, EAX reverb does not work well on Soundfonts (very faint reverb, but definetely not sufficient).
But thank you very much for saving my life.

Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum creating hard re

Greetings. Looking for insight on what I might do to alleviate a problem I am having with a Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum sound card and dri've.
This is the original Audigy Platinum. I am running windows XP pro with all sevice packs installed.
Installation of this new unit went well. No hardware or software conflicts and the card and audio "dri've" worked on the first attempt. All software also installed properly.
Unfortunately, when playing any audio through the system continuously for over a minute or so, the system begins to have trouble. This trouble is exerienced independent of what software or media type is playing the audio.
First, the sytem will have momentary "hangs" where the audio will be interrupted by a monotone electronic beep lasting from a fraction of a second to a couple of seconds long. The audio will then resume from the point it had left off when the tone began. If I continue to play audio after these tones begin, the system will shortly thereafter go through a hard reset. (By hard reset I mean an immediate return to memory count, bios screen and then startup as if I had pressed the reset button or the power had been interrupted)
The ONLY time this takes place is when I have been playing some sort of continuous audio.
As I said, if anyone has experienced this and has any insight as to the cause or more importantly the remedy to to the problem, I would appreciate the input.
Thanks.
JP

No comments on this?
Just hoping someone will be able to help me so I can use my audio files once again.

Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum EX

Hello, I have a Sound Blaster audigy platinum EX-, me and bought a new PC and have put my targeta SB, but in the installation as soon as this one quite made, when I want to calibrate my 5. puncturing in Mediasource's icon there goes out a mistake that he says: his targeta is not compatible with this controller. I have put him Win XP with SPack 3, as I have seen it is not drivers for this targeta with SPack 3, only it is with SPack 2, which I must do , do I put a SPack 2 Or is it drivers for SPack 3
I m Spanish, a pardon for my English

Hi Specter,
Don't worry, it's better to ask questions and get the answers you need, than to be confused or unsure
The first question is a bit subjecti've, some people may notice the difference, but the quality/SNR on those cards is very high so it shouldn't make much of a difference really. It will sound better aswell as you'll be hearing the full effects, in the proper speakers, instead of just stereo.
As far as the second query goes, I can't really recommend any particular application to you personally, but others can add their input there. The full versions of the various applications should all pretty much have the same options, at least the ones I've tested generally allow you to change the audio option which is what you'll need if you want to connect digitally (most DVD applications now have a built-in decoder, but if you want the audio to be sent over the digital connection you need to turn off the decoding option, so it outputs the signal untouched, to your receiver). Trial versions don't have as many options though, so on some you might not be able to adjust the option you need, but that shouldn't be a problem on full versions.
Hope that helps,
Cat

Sounds like you have a phone that was hacked to unlock it. Updating has re-locked it to the original carrier. ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it. Contact them.

Speakers popping and clicking (Audigy 2 Platinum Ca

Trying to understand why my speakers start popping and clicking whenever I watch YouTube videos. I have to reload the drivers in order to it get it stop. This gets old. Is there a permanent fix out there? mPlease advise. Thanks.

Theres 3 possible cause
MUSIC
-The music bit rate you are listening is simply too hissing and popping to listen to. It means, music below 28kBPS. For example, battle field atillery strike simple hiss to much, same as doom 3 ^_* . Try listening it further...notice diffrence?
Speaker
-Your speaker is malfunction or simple too good to listen hissing sound in problematic musics. It is because your speaker problem ^!^
Lastly, sound card is not the issue of hissing and popping..... I SUGGEST YOU LOOK CLOSER TO YOUR SPEAKER!

New iPhone 5 pops and screen cracks with no impact at all

I got a new iPhone 5 about a month ago and i was just sitting in my room, on instagram, on my phone when I suddenly heard a pop and noticed my iPhone cracked. I showed my friend who didnt believe me untill it poped again in his hands as well then a third time when it was placed on the table. I never dropped it or was never placed under any extreme temperature changes or anything. I noticed some other people having this problem as well and its not just me. Please let me know who else has this problem and how you resolved it. Apple is clearly doing something different and with less quality that screens are just popping and cracking.

Whether someone else has had this problem doesn't really matter. It happened to you, make an appointment at the Genius Bar and have the device examined. If Apple determines it is a manufacturing defect, they will replace the phone if it is under warranty.

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.

Audigy 2 Platinum, cracks, pops and had enough! Please he
