Audigy 2 platinum- recording probl

i have been experiencing a slight problems with my sound card. i would record media from any source (mic,wave,line-in) and when i do a playback, it is choppy or plays choppy and very fast. i've tried many things to fix this like switching slots, updating drivers and even re-formated my hard dri've and still the problem hasent been resolved. has this happened to anyone else? please tell me how you have resolved this

I came here looking for this exact problem. However mine is NEVER in sync when I use the SPDIF mode. As soon as I turn it to normal stereo it works fine. In a related issue, the sound playback of any DVD is about half of everything else on my system. I have to turn up the volume to about 80% to hear a DVD at a listenable level whereas normal volume for me is at 40%.
My stats are as follows: P4 3.2c, Abit IC7-G, 2GB DDR PC3200, Audigy 2 ZS Platinum, BFG 6800GT OC, XP Home SP2, and the Nvidia DVD Decoder. Everything is running the latest drivers. The volume problem has been happening ever since I purchased this ZS. I never had the problem with my older Audigy 2. The SPDIF issue is new to me since I have only recently been using it. Any ideas?

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 LS recording probl

Hi, using Sound Forge and Cubase softwares for music creation, I've got two problems I couldn't solve:
First, when I use Sound Forge and try to record sounds via the option "what you hear" of my sound card (well, it's "ce que vous entendez" in French, anyway) in order to record sounds going through Windows directly, like passages of movies, etc, I have a very annoying echo I can't remove. I checked all parameters, all audio effects are disabled. The volume switches of my sound card are all high so I thought about interference, but even when I lower them, including the record switch, it's just the same thing, I've got this echo, only during the recording, 'coz once I stop recording, sound becomes normal again. And obviously, when I listen to what I've just recorded, I have this echo.
Secondly, when I use Sound Forge or Cubase and I want to record voice via microphone, the volume is very low, even though the mic volume switch of my sound card is the highest, I can shout in the mic, the dB does not reach the yellow level.
All used to work well, I didn't change my audio configuration, I even installed the most recent driver on this website, but nothing changed. A friend told me it might be because I've got many softwares installed on my hard dri've (I got a partition: software HD, 3.5 Go available on 30 Go; data HD, 5.5 Go available on 30 Go). I still got some place left, so I doubt it might be this.
Does anyone have a clue? I'll be waiting for your kind help!!

I stumbled across this post while searching for a fix for my SoundBlaster Li've!. Basically everything worked fine under Win98. I upgraded to WinXP and the card appeared to be installed with no conflicts but I had no sound and I couldn't set a default playback device in "Sounds and Devices" because they were greyed out. I ran the Creative Diagnostic test and the Hardware test passed but all the driver tests failed.
I fixed this problem by going to
Start > Control Panel > Administrati've Services > Services
Locate "Windows Audio" and make sure the service is started. If the service is not started right-click and select properties. Change the startup type to automatic and click start.
Hope this helps anyone who stumbles across this post while looking for fixes.

I CAN'T RECORD INTO CUBASE SX 3 THOUGH MY OPTICAL INPUTS ON THE AUDIGY PLATINUM EX SOUND C

Hi
Can you tell me how I can get sound into cubase sx 3 via the Audigy Platinum ex optical card? I have an optical output on my seperate mixing desk whic I have linked to the optical input on the card, but I just cannot get any signal into cubase. If I attempt to record using the creative software recorder - it works perfectly! As soon as I turn on cubase sx 3, it just doesn't work. Have you got any suggestions please.

Audigy Platinum only records at 48k 16 bit in Sound For

Can someone please tell me what i'm doing that's so stupid? I'm trying to use Sound Forge to record my DJ sets through my Audigy Platinum, but for some reason Sound Forge will only let me record at 48k 6 bit sample rate, and the monitoring is almost impossible - most of the time I get terrible feedback destroying my ears! If I then save something I've recorded as a 44.k wav file or a mp3 file, the sound blaster wont play it at all.
I've moved the Audigy from an older PC that died on me, and I didn't have the original disc (from 4 years ago) so I downloaded the drivers from the web, but it doesn't seem to be working too well.
Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong?
Cheers.
Simon

Ok, I have some more info in this. I can get Soundforge to work when it uses the Windows Sound Mapper, but not the Creative Asio driver. DOes this help? Does it matter which one Sound Forge uses?
Please help!
Your card supports ASIO only @ 6-bit/48 kHz (hard locked).
Are there other driver modes listed (MME Audigy, DS Audigy, DirectX)?
If 6/48 with ASIO is not enough, then use DS Audigy if possible.

Sound blaster audigy 2 zs platinum sound probl

Ok So let me give you the specs on my computer first,?Windows xp home editionAbit IN9 32 MAX Mobo2 Gigs corsair xms ram2 8800ultra sli gpusLogitech?z-5300 SpeakersSound blaster audigy 2 zs platinum sound card2 Samsung 500 gig HD?I dont believe that my problem is the same as is in the crackling sound thread. So here is my dilema. Up untill about 4 days ago everything was working fine with my sound system. I have the Logitech speakershooked up to my audigy 2 zs along with my xbox 360 in the optical in on the front plate. So like i said about 4 days ago i started playing a movie on my computer and i have the ac3 codec installed on my computer with comunity codec pack and i know that you could say that those 2 things could be my problem i know enough to know that that probably isnt. So when i played the movie and when to the ac3 codec and turned on dolby decoding so that i would decode it to all my speakers everything worked fine. Then when i turned on spdif decoding my center speaker?started to crackle so i figured it was just becuase i was useing spdif and dolby decoding at the same time. so i turned that off and then went to go play my xbox 360 in which i have pluged into the optical in part on the front plate. Everything had always worked fine for that i have dolby digital decodeing on for the audigy. So i started to play a game i realized that i center speaker was crackling on there too. So i started to realize that no matter what i did the center speaker was crackling. I even changed out the center and sub stereo jack on the card for the front left and right and then they started to crackle in that spot. So i dont know what the hell is going on. Any help would be greatly appreciated i was thinking of restoring my computer but i dont know whether that is necessary. I also dont want to have to go out and by the x-fi elite pro tomarrow unless I absolutely have to.Message Edited by TasteOfChaos on 0-0-20080:02 PM

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!

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

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

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.

Audigy Platinum Ex Windows 7 SPDIF IN not working

Audigy Platinum Ex Windows 7 SPDIF IN not working? I have an old Audigy Platinum Ex that has served me well, until now when I have a new Windows 7 x64 PC (RTM). SPDIF IN no longer works, though everything else does (including SPDIF OUT). I've tried the current and beta drivers for the card, and no difference.
In Windows Vista x64 I could use ASIO drivers with my M-Audio ProFire 60 while using the Audigy for PC audio. Most often this was for skype, which I would set to use SPDIF IN/OUT which I then connected to the ProFires SPDIF OUT/IN. Using the ProFire mixing tool, I could control which mics and levels went to the Audigy while not interfereing with the ASIO drivers recording the mics. The ProFire also recorded the SPDIF OUT from the Audigy to caputre the person on Skype to their own audio track. This is a podcast producer's heaven, and I miss it!
If it's a known issue (SPDIF IN / Win 7), I've had this card through 4 PC upgrades and it's served me well enough I don't mind buying new. The Creative Sound Blaster X-fi Elite Pro looks to be the current version of my Ex - are there any Windows 7 issues currently that would stop me from using it in the role above? I will miss the FireWire port, a shame they dropped that.

Well basically it is possible, and I've found this out. Apparently Dell released a driver or something that allows it to work, but then only if you install a 3rd party modified xp version of the creative suite. I don't remember where I found it, but it was through google... Using some term including x-fi, dts, and vista.... Can't seem to find it now. Anyway, it had a download for the whole creative suite that was modified from the xp version for Vista, however it was buggy as hell, caused driver issues and blue screens, and ended up causing me to have to reinstall Vista altogether again. In other words, it's possible, but I don't recommend it until it's officially supported... Don't know when this will be yet... *crosses fingers*
Luckily I've got a dual OS system with XP too, and I switch to that when I want to use my Xbox 360... However due to Microsoft also being terrible in that department... I now get entertainment off of its 3 red lights... (For those of you who don't know, 3 red lights = hardware error. Sending into microsoft for repair typically is a 2 month process... I'm still waiting on my prepaid shipping box to arri've and it's been 4 days... Will be a similar wait to get it to them, 4-6 weeks for them to actually repair, and another week or so to get it all shipped back). Although even when the console worked, my dsl modem sometimes cut out when playing on Xbox li've and dropped signals, reported errors, etc.
What is with the companies producing technology nowadays? I just want to play Gears in 5. on Xbox li've... *cries*Message Edited by Supercoolyo on 07-22-20070:54 AM

Microphone Not Working With Audigy Platinum

I used creative surround mixer to enable Mic2 on the external device for my Audigy Platinum Ex. I tested it using sound recorder and everything works fine. However, everytime I try to play a game (BF2, CS) it doesn't work, and when I go back into surround mixer Mic2 is gone and it goes back to Microphone.
This keeps happened even though I'm putting Mic2 where it belongs on the right side. When I checked windows volume it is still located there under playback and recording. But for some reason it keeps disappearing in creative surround mixer. Anyone have any suggestions?Message Edited by amoretto on 2-08-2005 02:28 AM

amoretto,
That's because some games do not support secondary mic in port. Those games would usually always default audio mixer setting back to what it does/can support. Games like CounterStrike have some workaround tweak that you can find here in their forum but I'm afraid BF2 does not have a similar tweak. You can check up EA support page for BF2.

Audigy Strange Power Probl

I have an audigy platinum and cant get the dri'vebay to work, so I took it out of my system to investigate and removed the cover from the optical output to check the power.
When I remove the data ribbon that connects the dri'vebay to the soundcard the dri'vebay powers up and the optical light comes on. When I remove the ribbon again, the power is lost and the light goes off!
Whats the problem here?
It isnt the cables, i've swapped them for others and my power supply is an adequate 550w.
Im using windows vista and the audigy drivers that come with the xfi, but have also tried the audigy release drivers.

Zelgadis,
In Control Panel, Sounds and Multimedia (or whatever it's called on your system), Audio tab, make sure your Audigy 2 ZS is selected as the preferred Playback, Recording, and Midi device. At the bottom of the Audio tab, check the box to "Use only preferred devices."

Monitoring sound with Audigy Platinum

I recently dusted off an old Audigy Platinum eX I had bought a few years ago. I installed it on a machine I want to use for digital recording (guitars, vocals, etc) but I cannot seem to be able to get a signal to the computer. I am using the breakout box and the headphone output works fine but when I plug my guitar preamp to the Aux Line 2 inputs I can't seem to get any signal to the computer - the Line/Mic In input on the breakout box broke long ago so I can't even try that. Does anyone know if there's a trick to being able to monitor the signal out of my speakers? I had this working a few months ago when I uninstalled this card from an old computer. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

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

Audigy Platinum gives Dolby Pro Logic, but not Dolby Digital with

I'm trying to get my Audigy Platinum (the original) to output dolby digital over the SPDIF output as a bitstream instead of PCM.
I've tried everything I've read on the forums and elsewhere (that's how I got it to the point of working this far).
Stereo playing wav files etc is ok.
Playing a DVD thru Windows media player gives surround, but in Dolby ProLogic, not DD.
Playing a DVD with PowerDVD gives no sound via digital
Playing a DVD via Video Lan Player (VLC) gives either no sound or stereo via digital.
Ultimate goal here is to play HD content (Transport Streams recorded from HD cable box) with the Dolby 5. soundtrack.
Is the Audigy going to work here or do I need to move to another solution like Turtle Beach Dolby Digital Li've?
Thanks,
Doug

I Kind of have to give in to that. However if the bitrate is to low, any decent receiver won't give you anything but Dolby prologic II
How can you kind of agree and then repeat the same incorrect statement you did before ?
If the audio track has 5.1, it doesn't matter how low the bitrate is, one should expect to get 5.1 from the receiver.
You are of course correct about the superior quality of audio from a blu-ray disc, it is however fairly meaningless if you can't actually tell the difference which a large percentage of the population can't.
Likewise, even if you are able to tell the difference, one may not wish to invest the sort of money it requires to be able to hear that difference.
And also similarly, one may feel that the benefit of not having to leave your home to get the blu-ray disc, not having to organise and store the disc or return it later and not having to pay through the nose for it, all outweigh any benefit a small and often undetectable improvement in quality might make.
Horses for courses, if you want your improved quality thyen consider another device, if you want ease of use, an intuitive user experience and instant gratification, then the Apple TV is ideal.
