Audigy 2 Platinum - secondary section isn't work

I've just put my Audigy 2 Platinum into a new system, an XP Professional SP2 computer. Everything seems to be fine except that the secondary section doesn't work at all. I'm referring to the part that is at the front of the system case and offers more connections - MIDI, phono, /4 jack out, optical, mic in, firewire, and so on.
These connections do not even appear in the Mixer. Or in Device Manager, when it used to be called something like "Audigy Platinum - secondary". It's as if the computer has no idea that the secondary section is there.
All worked fine in my previous PC that was also XP Pro SP2. Is the Audigy broken?

I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM!!!!!!!!! WAS NO PROBLEM WITH WIN2K on Same Sys!!!

  • Audigy 2ZS Platinum Pro - breakout box not work

    I have an an external external breakoput box which was working fine in my old computer. I upgraded the mother board and cpu and installed the Audigy as before. The actual card works but the break out box doesn't light up. If I plug the external box firewire cable in to another firewire port on the computer the power LED lights but that's all. Any ideas anyone?

    I am sorry to bump this topic but it is the same as my question and does not seem to have been answered.
    I have a Audigy 2ZS Platinum Pro - my old one which I decided to use in lieu of the on-board sound. I installed the latest drivers I could find SBAX_PCDRV_LB_2_18_0017.exe (after unistalling the existing ones)
    The card itself works fine but the external interface box is as dead as a doornail. The power for the interface is supposed to come from the two connectors.
    No lights no nothing - obviously I have checked the leads and the seating of the card itself. Playback is fine on MP3, midi, wave files etc. I have disabled the on-board sound in the BIOS of course.
    Unfortunately the jacks on the back of the card are 1/8 in. outputs only and the external interface provides the inputs which I need for recording etc. They are 1/4in proper ones - guitar lead size which are much better.
    I know it is an old card but I like it. The last time I used in in my old computer it was fine. Card/drivers show up in the device manager. I have installed this both on a Win 7 partition and a Win XP partition on my 2 HDDs with the same result. :mansad:
    <font color="#0000FF">Any ideas appreciated! Is there something I am doing wrong? Thanks.

  • Secondary click isn't working!

    I'm using a MacBook Pro Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013 and the secondary click, even though enabled on the trackpad system preferences, isn't working.
    Anyone who has been dealing with the same problem or has any idea how to solve it? The only way how to make it work seems to me by pressing ctrl+click, which has turned out be quite annoying everytime I need it...
    Thanks!

    I'm appreciating this discussion. I've been on 10.7.5 for several months (late adopter) and only started having Mighty Mouse problems a couple of days ago.
    Like Dave, my Wacom tablet is working just fine. (Well, it got a little erratic yesterday--lost its sense of orientation and I thought I might need to recalibrate--but I rebooted the system and it got its brains back.)
    The Mighty Mouse, however, continues to only respond reliably to the left click.
    I did have more problems. The scroll would only work sometimes, and then only down page (not up again)--"trackball cleaning" (unplugging and rolling it around on paper) seemed not to produce results but did fix that problem.
    The right click is still a nothing, and I need it. I've checked all settings under both "mouse" and "universal access." (Wacom pen right-clicks great, as usual. Good thing I have multiple input devices.)
    I'm downloading the Overdrive software, and if that doesn't work I may go get a Logitech mouse.

  • 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!

  • Audigy 2 Platinum EX and Windows Server 2

    Just upgraded from Windows SBS 2003 to Windows Server 2003. My Audigy 2 Platinum EX seems to be working properly, but my microphone now only pops and crackles. I did not have this problem on SBS 2003. I am running Server 2003 SP and have the latest drivers for the sound card. Please assist with this issue.

    / Came up with something of a partial fix for this.
    Right click the driver installation file, go to properties, find the compatibility bit and change it to XP, then install.
    Most things stayed not working, but the one I really need "Line in 2/Mic 2" now works, thankfully.
    Be nice to get all the functionality back though!

  • Audigy 2 Platinum Ex No longer working properly under vista

    ;Audigy 2 Platinum Ex No longer working properly under vistat I have just upgraded to vista and I find my sound card to be no longer functional
    I have upgraded all the fri'vers I can find
    SBAX_PCDRVBETA_US_2_8_000.exe
    creative_sbxfi_250002_vista.exe
    and a couple of others that SecurityCentre found
    And when I open "Surround Mixer" I get "The selected soundcard is not supprted by the application," whatever the hell that means.
    Ihave spent all day researching installing rebooting, and cannot get microphone, and all the other functions "what you hear" etc to work.
    What must I do to get this perfectly good sound card to work please. Vista has been out for some time now, and I would export supportingdrivers yo have been redily visible.
    Thank you in anticipation.

    ? I guess Creative doesn't care about living up to the promise that their product is upgradeable as new technologies emerge such as VISTA. They were give plenty of warning, that it was coming out, and it has been out for some time. I guess the $700AUS I spent is down the tubes, because the lazy people at creative cannot be bothered to bring it into compatibility - AS PROMISED with "peace of mind" they said. There is no way that I will acti'vely tell people how good creative is any more. In fact I will be acti've in just the opposite.
    Get of your backsides and support AS PROMISED, we deserve it, instead of giving us second rate partial compatibilities. I have wasted the best part of a week trying to get it all sorted, where do I send the bill for my time? Hvae I got sour grapes? No, I just expect decent support as promised.
    I issue the challenge - ?Provide decent support and I will retract. Fair is fair. I PROMISE.

  • Audigy 2 Platinum used to work fine, now it doesn'

    Hi,
    I've been using my audigy 2 Platinum to record myself playing guitar for the past 2 years. I have my guitar amp hooked up (via send input on the back of the amp) to the Line In 2 (MIC IN 2) input. Lots of the time ill be up late recording stuff, so i turn my master volume down on the amp (so it doesn't come out of the amp) and just have it come out of my pc speakers. This time, the sound thats comming out of the speakers is just ugly noise. When i'm not playing anything it just hums. When i play something it just sounds like crap. I thought at first it might just be the speakers, so i recorded something and listend to it on different speakers, sounded exactly the same. So next thing i tried was a different guitar amp. Same thing. So i then opened up my tower to see if anything looked strange, everything looks fine. Next i uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers thinking that might help, sure enough, no help. I came here and read the FAQs and tried anything that sounded like it might help. Still havn't the same problem. I am completly baffled now. Is it possible i could have damaged it the last time i used it's If anyone has any ideas for me please let me know. I am running WinXP service pack 2. Thanks
    Edit. I have also tried different cables.Message Edited by zedfour on 09-20-2005 02:24 AMMessage Edited by zedfour on 09-20-2005 07:25 PM

    Hi Louie,
    Thanks for confirming that is the correct directory.  I agree cloning directories isn't the proper solution and would like to help identify what actually went wrong.  Perhaps a mapping was removed from CF Admin.  It's intriguing that expandPath('/secure') resolves to the proper directory but <cfobject name="getreqstatus" component="secure.common.getreqstatus"> throws an error that it can't find the getreqstatus.cfc that's located in secure's "common" subdirectory.
    Just to be clear, is C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion\bin\xxxx-Dev the website's root directory?  And is there also an Application.cfc file at C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion\bin\xxxx-Dev\Application.cfc as well as the one at at C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion\bin\xxxx-Dev\secure\Application.cfc?
    Could you create a file named bar.cfm w/ this code?
    <cfscript>
      writeOutput(expandPath("/secure"));//should return "C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion\bin\xxxx-Dev\secure"
      writeOutput("<br>" & expandPath("/secure/common"));//should return "C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion\bin\xxxx-Dev\secure\common"
      writeOutput("<br>" & expandPath("/secure/common/getreqstatus.cfc"));//should return "C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion\bin\xxxx-Dev\secure\common\getreqstatus.cfc"
      writeOutput("<br>" & fileExists(expandPath("/secure/common/getreqstatus.cfc")));//should return "YES"
      writeDump(var=new secure.common.getreqstatus(), format="text");//should return "[cfc1] component secure.common.getreqstatus"
    </cfscript>
    Then could you place a copy of that file at C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion\bin\xxxx-Dev\bar.cfm and C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion\bin\xxxx-Dev\secure\bar.cfm, and then run both (so basically, www.yourdomain.com/bar.cfm and www.yourdomain.com/secure/bar.cfm) and see what is displayed?
    Edit: Please rename or remove the cloned directories (i.e. the /secure/common within the calling routine's directory) before running the above.
    Thanks!,

  • Will the Audigy 2 Platinum work on the KT3 Ultra

    I recently bought the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum, and I have been having problems with it. After I installed it, I could never get the sound card to be recognized. I moved the sound card to different PCI slots, and I uninstalled and reinstalled several times, yet still no success. I was wondering if it was because the Motherboard I have doesn't support it or whether I just got a defective product. I have the MSI KT3 Ultra MS-6380E (VIA Apollo KT333 and VT8233A Chipset Based) Motherboard. Could I please get some help?

    I have KT3 Ultra, and Audigy 2 (non platnium, but its the same card), and it works fine. Try upgrading your bios maybe?

  • Will the external hub of an audigy 2 platinum pro ZS work with an X-fi Xtreme Mus

    Topic title says it all.
    I recently bought a new pc with a Soundblaster X-fi Xtreme Music, I love the new features of the card however I don't really want to shell out on getting a usb hub.
    With my old pc I had a Soundblaster Audigy 2 Platinum Pro ZS (phew that name is long) and it came with a very usefull external hub with midi and audio inputs, the works. I was wondering if it is possible to hook these two up?
    Thanks in advance

    No, they aren't compatible. The X-Fi card doesn't have any AD_Link connector to link up with the external I/O console you have.

  • Microphone not working: Audigy 2 Platinum, x64,

    I can get the microphone to work only when using a special program VSTHost, but not in Skype or Windows Sound Recorder (I'm using Mic 2 port on Audigy 2 Platinum front panel). I can hear the sound going to speakers but records nothing.
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you,
    Gustavs

    I have found it's caused by having too much RAM (4GB). Adding option /maxmem=4096 to boot.ini fixes the problem, but then Windows reports only 2GB. Unacceptable.
    Creative, please fix the drivers so that mic can be working with 4GB on Windows x64. Thank you!Message Edited by Gustavs on --200708:50 PM

  • Audigy 2 platinum drive not work

    I have a Audigy 2 platinum and the front dri've is not working. The card itself is working fine. I see the red light coming out of the opitcal out so the power is plugged in. Is the cable the runs from the card to the dri've a regular IDE cable?
    My specs:
    P4 3.05/533
    G ram
    Asus P4P800-E motherboard

    Hi,
    Is the opitcal out light on on the dri've bay? I'm assuming this has never worked and its a new unit. Two things that may help you. In the BIOS check the PnP OS option (usually under PnP/PCI Config) and set this to No.
    Also there is a utility called SBDRVDET.EXE...do you have this file on your system? Try manually running this file and see if this hel
    ps.
    This should be loadingo n startup so it its not it may point to a problem during the installation.

  • Audigy 2 Platinum Not Working with MCE 2

    Hi all, I cant get any drivers to install for my Audigy 2 Platinum on my computer, which is running Windows Media Center Edition 2005. On?Creative's support?downloads site there are some apps available that are apparently supported for this?O/S?but no drivers. I have tried installing the XP drivers. They do not work. It freezes in the middle of the installation, or finishes but then warns that the driver was not designed for this O/S and thus wont function properly. Im not getting any functionality out of it, so its not like the 2. is working or anything?like I?read in someones previous post.
    Does anyone know where I might find these drivers or if their is a work around? Thank you

    The problem you are getting has to do with InstallShield and most probably your?Vista configuration... Make sure you are running as administrator and check the log files in the Program Files/InstallShield... folder to see exactly what files you are missing. There is a Creative Knowledgebase article about it, so do read it. Also do remove any Creative XP software, especially make sure you removed the InstallShield Creative folders (in the same location as above), as these have been known to cause Installation failures.

  • Audigy 4 platinum pro Microphone im

    Simple one here, i'm just about to buy some leads to connect my condensor mic to my external hub. I just bought a preamp, yet don't have all the leads for it to work. Will a 'balanced /4" TRS connector' fit into the 'Mic imput'/'line-in' of my Audigy 4 platinum pro soundcard? This is opposed to an 'Unbalanced /4" TS connector'. Help will be appreciated! Carry on being CREATIVE
    P3U6!SUn 3H+

    Hi there,
    I nearly freaked out when I got the platinum pro as I thought I could get no decent power in direct guitar and microphones. You said you bought a preamp, but there is a preamp switch for Line In/Mic on the front of the hub. I have been using this for boosting mic and guitar signals and it is okay but was wandering what preamp you bought and if you rate it.
    Hope I haven't upset you by telling you about the built in pre-amp as it probably isn't the best quality anyway.
    Cheers,

  • Audigy 2 Platinum Front Panel Connecti

    I recently began recording my band in our home studio. My mixing board is a Midas Venice 240 which has two balanced XLR outputs from the master bus. I am wondering what method I may use to connect this output to the /4" stereo input on the front panel of the Audigy 2 Platinum. If I just purchase a Y-adapter to combine the two channels into one XLR and then convert it to /4" TRS jack will both channels be preserved? Are there any sound quality issues that arise from this method of connection? I was hoping to get answers to these questions before wasting money buying unnecessary adapters.
    Thanks

    The BEST way to do this is to go to radio shack and buy two (yes 2) of their?XLR to /4" Impedence Matching Transformers, AND?one (yes )?dual /4" female TS (tip-sleeve) to single /4" male TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) "Y" cable. Unless your mixer also has /4" main outs as well as the XLR... then you can just use the Y cable and skip the transformers. Or you can use a /8" Y cable with the transformers (and stereo /4 to stereo /8 adapter) and go into the card's line in jack on the actual card. Which is how I did it for a year or more untill i got a firewire recording interface (and it worked darn good too with my Soundcraft mixer and some good microphones). Either way,?you need the transformers for optimal results. The reason is the mixer's output impedence and level doesnt match that of the soundcard's input... mixer will likely overdri've the card, or the signal will sound weak or noisy.. The transformers?are cheap and are darn handy for loads of recording functions, and will provide the Audigy with exactly the type of signal it needs, properly transformed from the mixer. If you do this, you can record ALL of the mixer channels IN STEREO with all the panning, effects, and levels preserved. If you have multitracking software like Cubase or similar, you can even record an individual instrument (or even 2 at once, one panned left, one right... each assigned its own track in your software), come back on a new track (or pair of tracks), and record a different instrumet (or 2) and build a multitrack recording one performance at a time. PS:? you CANNOT just hardwire the mixer outputs and combine them into a single channel. A mixer is needed to properly combine?signals. Don't do it
    !!! Have fun... and rock on.PSS:? make sure your overall cable is as short as possible. If you must run it for more than 6 feet then run it in XLR mode and convert it very close to the computer. The non XLR section of cable is an antenna for noise. The XLR section will be shielded against noise. Also, the transformers are kinda heavy so do not plug them into somthing and allow them to hang in the plug becasue the hanging weight will ruin your jack. Its best to run cables to the transformers, allowing them to lay on the floor... in a safe place where they wont get stomped on.
