Audigy 2 prob

Having a strange problem with my soundcard. With eax enabled in several games (Call of Duty, Halo, etc) sound positioning is all wrong. For example if I am shooting a rifle over my shoulder in Call of Duty, the gun sounds like it's really far away. As I move the gun further from me, the sound volume increases as though it's getting closer. In other words, it seems like sound positioning is reversed.
I've gone as far as a fresh XP install, and updated drivers through the creative labs website. No luck in fixing problem. I had the same problem on a separate machine, and a fresh xp install solved the problem.
Any suggestions? This is really annoying!
Thanks.

Hate to inform you...but you need to take your card out back and shoot it...it's the only humane thing to do....luck!

  • Audigy Gamer prob

    I have a Sound Blaster Audigy Gamer that I bought quite a while ago. It is retail and installs fine off of the CD (drivers, applications, etc.). Because the drivers on the CD are so old I want to update them. I downloaded the AUD_WEBUP_PCWDRV_-84-40 driver setup program off of Creative's site but it gives me the "Setup could not detect any Sound Blaster Audigy on your system."
    In the device manager there is the Creative Audigy Audio Processor (WDM) and it is enabled and is shown as working properly, which it is. The sound works through the card and everything plays okay but I want to update the drivers and everything for the next generation games and whatnot (though I probably should just upgrade the card, but that is irrelevant).
    The web setup program is an .exe file so I cannot just extract it and get the drivers out so I don't really know how to get around this detection problem. Any help would be appreciated.System:AMD Athlon 64 3400+EPoX 8KDA series motherboardBFG GeForce 6800 OC

    One of the listed requirements for that file is:

    The file you need to install first is called AUD_EAX4DRV_0303.exe

  • Audigy SE prob

    Hi!
    I just installed my new <span class="text_smallest">Audigy SE soundcard, but I'm having problems with the signal being too loud.
    When I have both Wave and Playback at minimum in the sound control centre, the sound is still too loud for any amplifier or speakers to handle.
    I've been searching for a solution to this, but with no luck.
    Anyone with the same problem, or does anyone know the solution to this, because at the moment, I can't use the soundcard.. :\

    Yours is a very odd statement. CL's cards are basically designed to output standard (consumer-equipment) line-level at full volume, which powered speakers and audio gear are designed to accept.
    Are you getting loud output when the card isn't doing anything? What happens if you "mute" everything in the mixer except Wave and Playback?

  • Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Prob

    I usually don't have major problems with my computer.. I scan reguarly and check for spyware... I keep my computer clean..etc..
    Last night I rebooted and got errors...
    one was:
    PCI input device could not be found..
    and also
    394 network adapter
    I also had no sound..
    I reinstalled (I thought) and got my sound back..with no icon on the task bar..(no diagnostics) come to find out I had not installed and when I tried it would not let me..gave me another error saying..
    could not detect sound blaster audigy 2 on this system
    Please ensure sound blaster hardware is properly installed before running this setup program
    this setup will now exit..
    I do have sound now..but its still not showing I have Sound blaster audigy 2 software or anything of Sound Blaster on my computer..
    I have checked device manager and all hardware is working properly..
    I have a dell computer with windows xp
    any help would be greatly appreciated..
    Dee

    Dee,
    If the card came supplied with the PC, then you may need to contact Dell to get specific drivers or applications for it.
    Is the card working correctly now? Is it listed in Device Manager, with no error messages? What did you use to reinstall, was it a CD, or a driver? If it was just a basic driver pack, then it's likely that doesn't include any extra applications.

  • Cubase/Audigy 2 prob: How do I turn on "Record What U Hear" function?

    I'm not sure if I phrased that question right but apparently someone is telling me that I need to turn that function on in my Audigy 2 to get my wavetable synths to transfer to WAV files when I export in Cubase.
    I looked in the mixer and saw the volume control but is that all I need to do? Is there something else?
    Thanks!

    Does this need to be done in this way on Cubase?
    You can turn "What U Hear" ON on
    - Creative Surround Mixer --> select .rec source by pressing the icon above the recording level slider
    and on
    Windows Record Controls (volume) --> by slecting (check box below level slider) the "What U Hear" -channel
    NOTE: When you are using native ASIO or WDM/KS drivers --> recording controls are bypassed (i.e. recording source selection on surround mixer doesn't affect).
    You may need to switch the drivermode 1st to something other (WDM, MME, DS, maybe ASIO multimedia) to get WUH working (never tried this by myself). On Windows registry, there is "SB AUDIGY ASIO WUH [xxxx]" driver listed (I assume th WUH means "What U Hear"), but I have not seen it listed in any application I've tried/using.

  • Midi/audio sync prob after sblive to audigy 2zs upgrade

    Have posted the following earlier today in Soundblaster forum - then thought it may be better off here.....
    Hi all - have just had to quickly buy new soundcard as main line-out on sblive gave up the ghost, after years of no probs. Bought Audigy 2zs, as thought this would not be too much of a shock for ageing AMDk6 450mhz running Win98se. (Am waiting for new pc music system.) Installed Audigy, using 1xm1n's excellent set-up guide, and thought everything was ok. However, when running sequencer, the midi tracks are fine, while the audio slowly goes out of sync. Can anybody explain what's happening? Would not normally panic, and wait for new pc, but have a deadline to finish project for the Barmy Army !!
    Seriously thinking of reinstalling sblive, and using the rear line-outs to monitor on - but line-in & mic will then not work. Also was hoping the Audigy ASIO drivers would let me do the final mix in Cubase.
    Did I mention the odd crackle & pop....? .....Aaaaaaargh!!
    Regards.

    Jason,
    Yes I tried pulling card. What has happened.
    . Card was "re-found" by windows for no reason which started the problems.
    2. I deleted driver in control panel, shutdown and pulled card, rebooted again with no card.
    3. Put the card back and rebooted again and at that point it showed as Audigy ZS, although it did not look like all functionality was there as before.
    4. So I installed the new January 06 drivers. Seemed to go okay.
    5. Upon reboot, came up as Creative Audigy Audio Processor" again. However things "worked" for a while. The mixer came up, etc.
    6. Seemed to be working, then stopped working (no sound)....and upon a reboot, was re-found again and was using old generic drivers from 2003. And was no longer called a ZS.
    7. EDIT: Important, in the "sound and audio" devices in control panel, it is listed as an EMU0k (or some such designation) which I understand may mean the card has gone bad.
    8. The network fiber connection also periodically came up as yellow exclamation mark or working based on what was going on above.
    It appears that these problems may be symptoms the card is going bad based on some other posts I found? Something about a scrambled EPROM? I do have a new unused Audigy ZS card I can try.
    What is the best approach to put in another ZS. Delete the driver, shutdown, pull the card and put the new one in? And of course plug in the breakout box to it. Will it "find" the new January 06 drivers upon install or will I have to re-install those again on this new card. I know it is the same card but I assume the ID will be different.
    If I need to re-install the drivers, do I just re-run the install or do I need to run CTZAP etc. first? I already have all the applications loaded off the original CD and would prefer not to have to do all that again...
    Thanks again,
    BJB

    Regards.

    I just purchased the SB Li've 24 Bit USB today. The quality of the device was impressi've but I also was having sync issues. My guess is that the problem is with the limited bandwidth of the . USB connection. To resolve the issue, I installed all the most current critical updates. With one of them came a tool called 'Device Control'. I reduced the sampling quality to 44. KhZ from 44.8 and also reduced the bit depth to 6. Next I disabled monitoring. Additionally, the device I was using for playback during recording I reduced to the lowset possible sampling quality (which was about 22KhZ). I was able to record for 3 minutes at 44.KhZ with no sync issues. I recommend anyone who plans on using this device for recording follow this procedure.

  • Audigy Player + DTT3500 prob

    Hi there
    Since this week i got a problem with my Audigy Player.
    Everytime i test my boxes with the Surround Mixer, i can hear the voice from the front boxes, but from the center and the rear boxes you can hear nothing...
    It seems to be a software problem, because all satellites working fine...
    I searched this forum and I fond one guy, who had exactly the same problem one year ago :

  • Solution to my Audigy 4 Digital Output probs... please make a stic

    I was recently playing Q3TA with my son when my overheat protection kicked in. I exited to windows to see the temp and throttle back my CPU a tad, and when I returned I had no sound from my digital output. Analog was working fine, however.
    Setup:
    Giga-byte GA-MA78GM-S2H w/780g chipset
    Athlon 64 X2 5000+ BE
    Integrated Realtek HD audio (disabled)
    Integrated ATI HD 3200
    2xGB 800MHZ DDR2
    Creative Audigy 4
    Boston acoustics Digital BA735 2. speakers
    I went over every setting in all of my consoles, HQ's and drivers. I played with driver versions, DirectX versions, diagnostic programs and procedures in the knowledge base. In defeat, I even wiped out my XP install and started fresh with the Aud-4 removed, using analog on the integrated card thru headphones. Then I disabled the integrated card and reinstalled the Audigy 4 only to find that there was still no sound from the digital speakers.
    Solution?
    I[color="#ff0000"] unplugged the power to my speakers, and reconnected everything. As soon as the power was back up, the sound started playing (I had a .MP3 on for testing).
    This stumped me for two reasons that occur to me know:
    . These speakers (and possibly many others) don't fully power down when you turn the volume knob off and the light on the satellites goes out. The decoder and subwoofer unit keep their light on.
    2. Apparently, some situations introduce a faulty signal to the digital output that scrambles the speaker units and they refuse to operate any longer.
    Now I know, unplug the power to my speakers. My system works on all three sampling frequencies in "audio console" 44., 48, and 96KHz. None of the troubleshooting procedures touched my problem, because they didn't even mention the speaker setup, let alone doing a hard reset.
    Please please please!
    Make this a sticky for future me!!!

    The Digital output jack on the card isn't of optical signal type.....you will need to get those I/O module mention bt johnston2 for optical connection.

    Yes it is called trying to install the wrong driver for your card. Will work much better if you try installing the correct one,
    SBAX_PCDRV_LB_2_8_000.exe
    Also helps if you click on the "Show Details" link on the download page, then you would see that the one you tried to install doesn't support your card,
    Requirements:
    Microsoft Windows Vista 64-bit, Windows Vista 32-bit, Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, Windows XP Service Pack 2, Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 or Windows XP Media Center Edition 2004
    Sound Blaster Audigy Value/SE/LS, or Sound Blaster Li've! 24-bit audio devices
    whereas the correct driver shows the following,
    This download supports the following audio devices only:
    Creative Sound Blaster Audigy including Platinum and Platinum eX series
    Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 including Platinum, Platinum eX, and Value series

  • Creative Audigy 2 NX Bit Depth / Sample Rate Prob

    This is my first post to this form
    Down to business: I recently purchased a Creative Audigy 2 NX sound card. I am using it on my laptop (an HP Pavilion zd 7000, which has plenty of power to support the card.) I installed it according to the instructions on the manual, but I have been having some problems with it. I can't seem to set the bit depth and sample rate settings to their proper values.
    The maximum bit depth available from the drop down menu in "Device Control" -> "PCI/USB" tab is 6 bits and the maximum sample rate is 48kHz. I have tried repairing and reinstalling the drivers several times, but it still wont work. The card is connected to my laptop via USB 2.0.
    I looked around in the forms and found out that at least one other person has had the same problem but no solution was posted. If anyone knows of a way to resolve this issue I would appreciate the input!
    Here are my system specs:
    HP Pavilion zd 7000
    Intel Pentium 4 3.06 GHz
    GB Ram
    Windows XP Prof. SP 2
    Thnx.

    Well, I am new to high-end sound cards, and I may be misinterpreting the terminology, but the sound card is supposed to be a 24bit/96kHz card.
    I am under the impression that one should be able to set the output quality of the card to 24bits of depth and a 96kHz sample rate, despite the speaker setting that one may be using, to decode good quality audio streams (say an audio cd or the dolby digital audio of a dvd movie.) I can currently achieve this only on 2. speaker systems (or when i set the speaker setting of the card to 2.) Otherwise the maximum bit depth/sample rate I can set the card output to is a sample rate of 48kHz and a bit depth of 6bits.
    Am I mistaken in thinking that if I am playing a good quality audio stream I should be able to raise the output quality of the card to that which it is advertised and claims to have?
    Thnx
