Audigy 2 Platinum Front Pa

I recently suffered a hard disc crash. After rebuilding the system the front panel on my Audigy 2 Platinum does not appear to work.
Specifically, the firewire port on the front panel does not detect my iPod, whereas the firewire port on the card at the rear of the PC works fine.
Any ideas as to a) how I can find if the panel is working or b) am I missing some drivers?
Thanks
Phil

OK problem solved. The flat connector on the card at the back of the computer was very slightly loose on one side only. I could only tell when I actually tried to move it myself - it certainly looked OK. Strange that the audio made it to the speakers OK but not to the headphones!

  • SB Audigy Platinum Front I/O Mic Probl

    Whatever i do, i just can't seem to get the microphone plug on the I/O module to work. When i plug
    my microphone in the back of the sound card itself, it works, but not when i plug it in the front.
    The strange thing is that the headphone plug on front seems to work, but the microphone doesn't.

    Hello, is this the place for an argument? Oh wait, that's a Monty Python skit, not real life. *ahem*
    So what I'm hearing is that we're basically on our own. Is it that hard to answer a simple question like, "How do I completely uninstall ALL my SB Fatalty drivers and install brand new fresh ones from the internet, and in doing so, hopefully reset my I/O dri've?"
    That's my question.
    Cheers,

  • Problem with Audigy 2 Platinum Front Panel Input

    0Problem with Audigy 2 Platinum Front Panel Input? Hey everyone,
    Here's the background of the issue. I got a PS3 over the holidays for literally free
    I had my computer out in a testbed style. Plugged the PS3 into my monitor HDMI --> DVI cable, and Red/White into the front RCA jacks of the Front Panel (Aux 2). As soon as I plugged in the cable, I got sound out of my speakers and was able to enjoy my PS3 in 720p
    I put all of the components back into the case after cutting exhause and intake fan holes. I brought everything back to school, fired up the PC and PS3. Lo and behold, there is no more sound from the PS3. I know that PS3s are temperamental in moving, but I hooked the audio up to my TV and the sound came out just fine. The AD Ext cable looks like it's secure and in place. When I hooked up a mic and headphones to the front, they worked fine as well. However it seems to be just the AUX 2 RCA inputs that dont work anymore. Any ideas about how to fix this issue? Is there a function I have to turn on now in the software to allow sound to pass through? Any information would be wonderful!? I'm going to try an optical cable in the near future, just need to borrow one from a friend =/

    Problem Solved.
    I had moved my cards around for better airflow. I moved the SB Audigy card from the bottom PCI slot to the top. Thinking this might be the problem, I moved the video card back to the top slot PCI-E and the sound card to the bottom PCI slot. Sound is now working again. Thanks for the thread views?:smileytongue:
    Think that when I have to buy Win 7 for real if the problem would still persist if I moved the card again? Or is this a hardware limitation?

  • Audigy platinum pinouts for dri

    I have an original Audigy platinum with the connections for a dri've bay - which I did not purchase. My new case allows for a front panel microphone and headphone (as well as other connections) in addition to the back panel ones. After installing the audigy card in it - these connections no longer work =(
    Since the dri've bay comes with mircorphoone and headphone outputs - I assume there are appropriate pins on the dri've bay connection that (if identified) - could be connected to my computers froont panel enabeling the use of these with the audigy card and not just the sound system proved with the mobo. Does someone have accurate information about the pinouts for the dri'vebay that are on the Audigy card? And, would you be gracious enough to supply me with this information.
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Greetings again and thank you Jeremy for the fast response - FYI I did look for this information on the web before coming here to post. Based on what I gathered from the article you attached was that: . I could connect my front panel headset connections to pins 0, and 2 ( General purpose output , general purpose output 2 and ground) (or should they go to the ones labeled spdif?) 2. I could connect the microphone connections to pins 5 and 6 (spdif input signal and ground) I hate to be a pain but I really don't feel like messing up anything either and maybe a moment of your time can save me a lot of issues later. Thanks in advance!!! Jim Here is the content from the post so you don't have to go back and look: This is for the Sound Blaster Li've and Sound Blaster Audigy Series Only.

  • Dolby 5.1 with Windows 7 using an Audigy Platinum EX

    Hello.
    Long story short.
    I've mashed together three old PC's to make one reasonably ok one as a media center.
    I have an old MSI motherboard, running an AMD XP 2.GB Chip with .25GB of Ram and an AGP Video card (Soon to be upgraded to an ATI 4850 AGP Card with HDMI out.
    My trusty Audigy Platinum EX has been re used (again!) and after finding some drivers, everything seems to be ok!
    What's the problem you ask?
    I cant seem to get true 5. surround, via the on board optical out (speaker calibration wont play front centre, sub or rear speakers.)
    I'm running the lot through a Creative 5. Inspire speaker system (using the optical input) if i let the Inspire system sort out the sound, I can get surround, but only if i switch on the 5. manually, and like I said, it won't play via the speaker test in windows or the creative consul on screen.
    Am I missing something real simple, or is this an issue anyone else has had dealings with?
    Also (as if that weren't enough) there doesn't seem to be any support for the EAX and ESS systems, and I cant use the remote control that came with the Platinum EX.
    If anyone can offer any sugestions, I'd be most grateful.
    With Thanks.

    Hello again.
    I've got hold of a Vista Support Pack that supposedly fixes loads of the issues I've got with an old card on Windows 7, I've pasted the notebook specs and details that came with it, and if you've any idea how I can put a downloud link on this forum so you can download it from me, you are more than welcome to try it. I'm not knowledged enough to put a link on here, but others have done it, so it must be possible... Any Ideas?

  • Aux 2 Soundblaster Audigy platinum probl

    Hi there.
    I used to have problems with using aux 2 (red/white on the front panel of audigy platinum) , bascially
    because the volume control in windows didnt have aux 2 volume control under advanced. After contacting support and updating my drivers I think with the webupdate on creative.com aux 2 was listed in the advanced volume control thingy, so I could check the box and untick the mute setting.
    But after some formatting and new installation of my soundcard I cant find a way to get the aux 2 volume control back. Its just not listed and I am not able to hear sound through my speakers. I tried all updates that are downloadable from creative.com ; also the autoupdate software of creative. No luck at all.
    Can someone please help me to get my aux 2 volume control back ?Greetz

    hi. i have the same problem. i spent on that 2 days. its boring, i havo to do some job, but now i cant.. if you get some info, send it also to me, please!! i do so..
    thanks, ciao

  • Soundblaster audigy platinum jack panel compatibility with audigy 2 or audigy 2

    Can I use a Soundblaster audigy platinum dri've (the front case jack panel) with an audigy 2 or audigy 2 zs sound card? Is it compatible? This is so I don't have to by a platinum version of the audigy 2 or audigy 2zs and spend the money on another dri've panel just to upgrade the sound card.

    As both the Audigy and Audigy 2 lines report they are compatible with WinXP, is there any reason I wouldn't be able to use my Audigy Platinum system I bought in 200 with a suped up new Dell Dimention desktop system I just bought? I guess the question behind the question is, what's the difference between the Audigy and Audigy 2 besides just the parts not being compatible with each other and the true bit thing fixed? Thanks!

  • Audigy Platinum Ex and XP and M

    Have taken new PC back and got rid of Vista and had XP installed in the hope it would play an external Audigy Platinum Ex. The shop did not instal the game port. The midi I/O are on the front of?the box but the evolution MK-25 keyboard?won't make any sound - the MIDI device options listed are only?SB Audigy MIDI Port (DCOO). I've tried the XP control panel advice but the devices listed are different from those shown on mine. HELP.

    am I right in thinking that if I am using the external box with a keyboard - not via the gameport - that BOTH THE midi in/out and midi/out in have to be connected ? The key board is an evolution Mk-25 and it only has a midi out ? As the game port is not installed - does this mean I am not able to use thanks ?

  • Help: SB Audigy Platinum EX box drive

    I can't seem to get the external box on my Sound Blaster Audigy EX to work. I don't have the CD for it. Does it need extra drivers? If so, cand I download them from somewhere? I got the audigy drivers, and the card itself is putting out sound just fine.
    I DO have a CD for the Audigy 2ZS, if that helps in anyway...

    Hi there,
    I'm sure you can get all the drivers you need from creatives site. however, just to be sure it's functioning check the connections inside your case. Check that all the cables inside the case that connect the two cards together are properly connected. I was messed up by this twice, and I'm resonably tech savvy.
    you should also check to see if there is a red light comming out of the optical out on the front of the audigy (dont stare straight at it!) .. if the light is there when your pc is in windows. then it's most likely that it is connected correctly. if it's not, the box is not powered and will not be detected.
    i believe this is the link to the drivers you need.

  • Dolby Digital Live and Old Audigy Platinum Card

    I have an now well aged Home Brew Computer based on an Asus P4PE MB, 2.4 Ghz P4, gig ram, SATA Raid 0, Plenty of HD free space. I went on a campaign to speed up the old beasty a little before I start thinking of a replacement some months down the road. I picked up a NOS (New Old Stock) Audigy Platinum Sound Card to lower the load on the processor and give me some more options like a digital input that my built in AC97 didn't have.
    The SB Card worked pretty well at first. Hooked it up to an inexpensi've home theater I have in the room through its digital (front panel SPDIF) and we were off to the races. It all worked great. The sound was excellent, the system seemed to work better. The only problems were related to the usual issues with using a home theater with a computer digital output.
    Along came the latest release of the driver and the Dolby Digital Li've. Now I seem to have the following issues:
    Use DDL and you can't lock it into a 96K sample rate affecting sound quality
    Many music files I was playing just fine now have what I guess could be termed "blanking." You get some very quick blank spots. Just an instant each time but enough to wreck the fun.
    CTAIdSvc.exe is running all the time and eating processor resources. A quick check with the task manager sees it gyrating from 3 to about 3 percent continuously. This is at all times regardless of any use of sound.3% is bad enough. Running over 0% is no good.
    Soooo, now I look to see if I can do a comparison between with and without DDL installed. Uhhhhhhhh, where is that part of the thing installed? Seems not to have anything in add\remove programs.
    Also, what is with all the other stuff running related to this sound card. Licensing application? CT Helper, Ctsvccda, etc..
    I'll probably try to remove the driver by re-running its install then try it with and without the Dolby thing. Maybe reinstalling the driver removes DDL

    First of all it is not personal. I have nothing against you guys, your're not responsible for drivers development/testing. I'm fed up mostly with all those responsible for releasing buggy software without making proper checks if it will work. I know that you cannot say anything but I believe these guys are giving you headache as well; they don't have to listen complaints and deal with angry customers. First thing I would do is to get rid of your test manager . Releasing something without doing proper tests is just unacceptable; especially when product is suppose to reach thounsands of customers. Could you at least tell if driver developers were informed about this issue and trying to solve the problem? I'm buliding new machine and have to consider change of my soundcard; such information would very usefull. Cheers.

  • Headset no longer works with Audigy Platinum dr

    I have a Logitech headset that plugs into the headphone and mic jacks on the Audigy Platinum dri've. On Saturday I had to do some work in my computer, so I disconnected the dri've from the card to get the data cable out of the way.
    This may not be related (I hope not), but I plugged my floppy dri've in wrong and fried the floppy dri've and melted the wire to the PSU. I got a new floppy dri've and PSU. I don't believe the sound card or Platinum dri've were effected because they both work fine otherwise.
    Anyway I no longer get any sound from my headphones when they're plugged into the dri've, but do get sound when they're plugged into the Creative Labs remote control for my speakers. I get no sound from my mic when it's plugged into the mic jack on the Platinum dri've either. I haven't tested it with another jack yet, but assume it'd work.
    I also notice in my Windows mixer, that the option for Line In/Mic 2 is no longer there, either in the main part, or under Recording. Line In/Mic 2 is the mic jack on the Platinum Dri've.
    The Platinum dri've works fine otherwise. I can use the firewire port on it and I know it's receiving power because I can see the red light in the optical connector. To be sure, I went back inside my computer and doublechecked the connections. It IS hooked up properly.
    How can I get the jacks to work again, short of uninstalling/reinstalling the driver? I don't think this is necessary because the sound works otherwise. Thanks all!

    The Audigy dri've works from three different cables. One is the power cable, one is the IEEE394 cable, and the last is the data cable. If the power cable and IEEE394 cables are connected, but the data cable is not fully seated, you will see power from the optical output and the 394 port will work, but the inputs and outputs will not work or be seen by the Windows mixer.
    I would definitely try reseating that data cable. Also make sure that none of the pins are bent. If that doesn't work, you may want to try moving the card to different slots.

  • Creative Audigy Platinum Installation Help with Pentium 4 3.2GHz HT Enab

    :mansad:
    Dear Fellows,I have recently upgraded to a new Pentium 4 machine.

Once I install the operating system (Win XP) and move to the installation of Creative Audigy Platinum Sound card. All the applications are installed and the system hangs while updating *drivers*. I restarted but it corrupts the whole operating system conflicting with Display Driver, Mainboard driver as well as Windows. CD/DVD Rom also disappear. I then reinstalled operating system again. I would like to request for help and solving this issue and I dont want to get rid of Creative Audigy. I have heard complaints with Hyper-threading technology but I disabled it and the same problem occured. I tried everything e.g. latest drivers from Creative website, BIOS updates, Driver updates etc etc. The problem starts once the drivers are to be updated for Creative Audigy Platinum.Anticipating your response soon.Regards,

    Hi Jeremy,
    I would like to thank you for your kind assistance with my problem.
    Heres the good news, I finally managed to install and run my Creative Audigy Platinum perfectly.
    Credit goes to your assitance and support.
    For your info, I would like you to know what I really did.
    I have an Intel Genuine 865GBF mainboard. I installed clean copy of Windows XP (SP) and downloaded and installed latest Chipset INF utility from Intel website. I guess this utility tells the mainboard what kind of hardware is configured on the board.
    Please note that I did not add any PCI card except the AGP graphics card.
    After finishing Windows XP, I installed the Creative Audigy Card in a different PCI slot. When windows started, it detected the sound card installed.
    I simply ran the driver and programs from the Creative CD and it installed perfectly. I then updated the drivers downloaded from the Sound Blaster site in correct order.
    After finishing with Creative Audigy Platinum installation. I installed other hardware devices, service packs, AV and applications.
    Its the third day and everything is running well.
    I just wrote the steps if someone else faces the same problem, he/she can sort it out the same way.
    Thanks again for your help.
    Best regards,

  • 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.

  • SB Audigy Platinum Microphone Line2/Mic2 settings h

    I have the original SB Audigy Platinum that includes the external bay device. When plugging a headset into the headphone and line2/mic2 connectors, the headphones work and the microphone on the headset does not. I have done some investigation and it appears that the default audio in device is the microphone. I believe that the microphone points to the mic in connector on the PCI soundcard. If I use the Sound Mixer I can manually change the audio in from microphone to line/mic2 and the headset microphone works. However if I stop the using the microphone and then try and use it again I discover that the setting has been changed back to microphone. So everytime we want to use the microphone we must go to the sound mixer and manually make the change. Is there anyway to save the setting line2/mic2 to make it permanent? One of the reasons for having the external bay device to allow the headet to be connected and disconnected without reaching around the back. I am tryng to make this easy for my wife to use (with Skype) without the hassle of the extras ste
    ps.
    Thanks.

    Jeremey, thanks for your reply. This is one of those classic issues where the application folk (like IM clients and Skype) say to ask the SB folk what can be done and you (the SB folk) ask if the application owners can change their applications. So I am exploring options. Gi'ven that we don't use the 'mic in' (mic - microphone) connector on the PCI card, is there any way to reset the Audigy so that the external bay line/mic2 can be recognized as mic or the microphone? Perhaps there's a jumper or soft switch setting? Otherwise, is there anyway at all from the SB side (card, jumpers, drivers, Creative apps) to set the microphone to line2/mic2? Like I say I am looking for ideas from the SB side.
    Thanks again for your reponse.

  • SB Audigy Platinum EX keeps defaulting to 2 speak

    Hi,
    I have a soundblaster audigy platinum EX running under windows XP with a set of 4. speakers.
    I set the speaker setup to 4 speakers in the creative software, and it works fine for a day or 2, and then I find it has defaulted back to 2 speakers. I had exactly the same problem with my previous SB Li've 024 player whilst running on windows XP, although it was perfect under windows98. I am using the latest drivers, but this has made no difference at all. I have heard of other poeple having this problem also, but I have never heard of a solution to it. This is now getting very frustrating, as I purchased the audigy to get around this problem, believing that the real problem was due to the sbli've 024 player not being fully supported under windowsXP, but now I realise that obviously wasnt the reason.
    Any answers or suggestions would be really appreciated.
    thank you

    Search after software called ctpanel.exe from your hard dri've or if you have installed the latest drivers (02.08.00.0004) for your card, there should be a Console application called "Creative Audio Console" bundled w/ the driver installation (though, I don't know if you get it installed for your card).

  • No digital sound after Vista upgrade on Audigy Platinum

    I finally got around to upgrading my Media Center PC from Win XP to Win Vista Ultimate x64. Following the upgrade and after installing the latest official drivers for my Audigy Platinum, I am unable to get any sound when using the digital out on the sound card. I also made sure to change the Audio Console setting to use SPDIF. If I switch to normal line out, it works fine and digital out worked fine on Win XP.
    I tried searching but only came up with threads pertaining to the X-Fi and Audigy 2.
    Is there something else Im missing to get this working in Vista?
    Thanks a bunch!!

    Hi there-
    I just finally had the chance to install these drivers and I still have no sound coming out when I connect to the digital out of my Audigy card. Again, Ive verified the Audio console has been changed to SPDIF output and still nothing.
    Is there something Im missing here? Are there other settings I need to change / set in Vista to get this working? This is very frustrating that this worked without issue in XP and I really dont want to have to go back to it.
    Any help is much appreciated!!
