Audigy 2 Platinum Optical Out Probl

And interesting problem has started to happen to me. My optical out now randomly (or so it would seem) turns itself on and off again. Music playing, not playing... It seems completely random. Has anyone else had this problem? Any help would be appreciated!?Thanks!Brian

Go through the sound options in windows control panel. ensure your card is listed in ALL aval setup menus.
You may also want to tick the box that states "use only default device" which would be your card,?under sound and audio properties as your sound may be reverting back to Windows default sound driver.
see how ya go with anyway

Audigy ES Digital out probl

Hi, im trying to hook my Kinyo d565 speakers and decoder up to the digital out on my audigy soundcard.
Now first off, the decoder has 3 inputs - analogue stero, digital RCA(coaxial), and digital optical.
i've tried doing everything in audioHQ to get any sound out of my speakers (they work fine when i just use the line out on the sound card and the stereo input on my decoder).
i've connected the digital out on the soundcard to the optical in on the decoder using a 3.5mm to toslink optical digital cable.
i have no idea why im not getting any sound at all. is it my cable? - do i need to get a 3.5mm mono to RCA cable?
any help would be greatly appreciated
ps.
i've tried all the things like selected 2 speaker output, disabling decoding of ac3 etc etc....

Audugy 2 Platinum Spdif Optical out audio skips/stutters/static/pop/interfere

I have the Audigy Dolby 5. working, blue light from the sony receiver, but when the dvd plays with powerdvd, the picture is fine, but the audio skips and stutters. It works fine when I am decoding via the audigy and analog,?and I have tried powerdvd and windvd and they both have the same issue with spdif, so the issue is with the Optical out and some kind of interference.
Is there anything?I can do?
Any input would be appreciated, thank you.

hey roachmojo,
join the club...i have exactly the same issues as you have...WinXP SP2, Audigy Platinum, Optical In from Sat Recei'ver, Creative Gigaworks 7. analog speakers...
sound skips, stutters, cracks, pops continuously
tried upgrading drivers, but made problem even worse
can't go back to old drivers even with thorough uninstall (registry, driver cleaner pro, manual deletion, etc.)
might be because creative "downgraded" firmware on my card with new drivers
i'm using an Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe M/B with Nvidia Nforce audio onbard (heard there's major issues with this)
any help would be appreciated, otherwise it's time to toss this junk out

Optical Out Drive Bay - Audigy

Hi,
Audigy ZS Platinum
Is it possible to connect a 5. <EM>Analog</EM> from the back of the audio card AND <a 5. receiver from the <EM>Optical Out</EM> from the Dri've Bay? Or will the Optical be disable?
Thanks in advance.
G.

hi,
of course it'ss possible to connect the analog out and the optical out simultaneously. the optical out won?t be switched off when you?re using the analog out first.
but please pay attention: if you want to get an encoded signal, e.g. a dolby digital signal from a dvd movie, by the optical out you have to set the option "digital bypass". in this case the dolby digital signal won?t be decoded by your audigy card and you won?t get an analog signal from the back!

Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum optical in questi

Ok, I think the question is rather simple to answer.
All I want to know is if I can delay the processing of the audio coming in from the optical input.
Reason being is that I have a XBox360, with the HD-DVD add on, and it has a delay with the video when playing HD-DVD's. I use the VGA cable, but I verified I am not the only one with this problem, as it turns out it's with the display. (Just plain weird IMO) but delaying the audio processing would allow a proper sync of audio and video.

I am brand new to this message system but I am so desperate for help I thought I would try it. After reading lots of comments I find that my problem may be more the rule than the exception. I have an Audigy @ Platinum card and all I ever get from it is crackling and popping. I have been around and around with Creative support but nothing they tell me results in a fix. I am so disgusted at this point that I am ready to just trash the whole thing. I have gone through the BIOS and checked so many settings its a shame. Still crackling and popping. I NEED SPECIFIC ANSWERS FROM SOMEBODY...not just the generic flip the wingle wangle to port xyz and move this to that. here has got to be an answer to this maddening problem. The other thing is that now I can't get my MIDI keyboard to play back. I must have turned something off in the set up process but now I have no idea what to do.
If anyone has any solid answers for me PLEASE come forward with them before I kill someone!

Audigy 4 Pro Optical In Probl

Hey everyone,
I've had an Audigy 4 Pro for about a year now and it's an amazing piece of hardware, but I seem to be having some kind of problem.
I recently had an HD cable box put in my room and I want to connect the optical out port on the cable box to the optical in port on the Audigy 4 I/O box. I made the connections and the optical cable is lit and sending a signal, but I'm not getting any sound out of my speakers. I went into the volume mixer and turned on "S/PDIF-In"?and still nothing. Are there any other settings I need to check? I checked some of the other inputs on the I/O box and they seem to work so I don't understand why this one won't. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

What seems to be a problem is the I/O box is powered on, but not connecting to the card. The power light is on, but the volume knob isn't doing anything and the extra inputs aren't recognized. I didn't touch any of the cables, and they're all secure so I have no idea what's going on.

Audio Probelms with some DVDS/BLU-RAY discs when using optical out to Audigy 2

I have my PS3 connected to my Audigy 2 ZS soundcard via optical?cable to play 5. sound on my PC sound system (Klipsch Promedia Ultra 5.). I have finally successfully played discrete 5. sound with some DVDs. I have changed my optical out setting to bitstream in the DVD/BD menu (XMB) and selected optical with everything checked in (XMB). So far, The Matrix, The Matrix Reloaded and Minority Report have worked in proper 5. (not stereo matrixing). Both Dolby Digital and DTS tracks (I know it works because it sounds twice as good as Dolby?Digital) ?work in Minority Report. The problem is... Jurassic Park (DTS) and my Blu-ray MIssion Impossible 3 have no audio (probably more too). The STRANGE part is if I fastfoward both films by .5x (so that audio plays in FF) I can hear audio. When FF by .5x the display signal on the top of the screen changes from DTS or DOLBY DIGITAL: Multi Channel to DTS or DOLBY DIGITAL: 5..
What is with that?Also I still do not get audio in any games, Resistance (Blu-ray)?or any game demo but I do get the audio from the game display screen (XMB). Please if anyone has?any?useful advise or information it would be greatly appreciated.
?Thank you!

Audigy Value and Digital Out probl

I read the faq.
I have the Audigy Value card with the digital I/O mini-jack. I tried using a standard optical cable with an adapter mini-jack "cap" to pop on one end to plug into the sound card, and the other end into my digital in on my stereo. I still can't get any sound, is there some setting I am missing.
I pop in my Hercules sound card that has a normal type optical out and everything works fine without me messing with it, so I know it isn't the stereo input.

How to switch off the red light (optical out) on my Audigy 2

I am not using the optical out most of the time, is there a way to switch off the red light coming out of optical out?red light is causing heat leading to cracks on the surface of the card.Please help soon. thx

Are you sure? AFAIK, LED's don't produce any significant amounts of heat. And, no, I don't think the light can be switched off.

5.1 to home theater receiver thru Optical Out not working; Fatality Platinum

I tried connecting the Optical Out on the front to my receiver's optical in. Made sure everything was set to 5. in both the Creative and receiver settings, and the receiver gets optical 5. just fine with my Play Station version 3 and X-box version 360 gaming computers. Please help, I have tried reboot, messing with settings, Google, I cannot fix this.
Jinwoo from great korea!

Hi I have the same probleme, exept that I have succesfuly pluged my home theater receiver and the 5.1 works. Just my subwoofer seems not to work properly. Like when I plug it into a digital dvd player it works very nicely. but when pluged into the sound card it seems that it dosnt have any signal for it.
ANy clues??? I know i pluged everything finely I have tested the sound test for each speaker and sub to, from the receiver and from the creative software the sub seems to work but very quietly even if I cran the volume up on the sub or in the software , the sub dont work as it should.
1 thing I remarqued is that the sub works occasionaly in some movies. When listening to the music it not working and I dont understand that.

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

Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum BIG Proble

I have sound blaster audigy platinum and in few weeks I have got this strange problem that I?ve hadn't before. If I use old drivers for it, windows gives me blue screen with "bad pool caller" very often when I play or just listen music. With new drivers it gives me "driver irql not less or equal". At the same time in linux it works fine. In windows I've checked viruses etc. reinstalled windows many times, used memtest and so on. Finally 2 days ago I took my Sound blaster off my computer and ever since I haven't got any problems. So it obviously is the problem. But I just don't know what to do anymore to get it work? Now I use the sound card that comes integrated with my motherboard but it's not as good. Btw I don't use integrated sound card same time with sound blaster. Please Help!

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
Charles
