Audigy 2 value and crappy sound in some ga

now that my specs our out of the way i can tell you the problems.
in fear the shotgun sounds real muffled. all other sounds are great, it just really ruins the game.
in quake 4 all the sounds are really crappy. all guns sound like crap. i have tried setting my sound to default and open al but it did not effect the sound.
i have the latest drivers for everything on my pc. all my other games run and sound great so i dont think it is my pc in general.
i think it is a codec problem. has anyone experinced this in other games?
plus when i installed the latest drivers i did a complete uninstall of all creative files and folders, it was doing it with the old drivers too.

well for giggles i took my card out and used the onboard sound to see it there was any difference.
the onboard is AC97 realtek. the shotgun and quake4 sounds were much better. all the sounds were there but of course it did not sound as rich as audigy does.
so my experiment showed that it is a driver problem. i am guessing no one else has had this problem.

Difference between audigy value and sound blas

Since i am unable to find comparisions between soundblaster 24bit and AudigyValue in site , Anyone can give me the difference between these two ?

Other than the name, not much. Both cards lack the EMU0K/2 chip, and have to do all processing in software (cpu processing instead of on the card). Oh yeah and the Audigy SE has newer drivers than the Value (and will probably install on the SB 24 bit).
All things considering if you are looking at a card for gaming (or just about anything else) avoid both of them.

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.

Fuzzylogic,
These articles should help explain what is going on:

Audigy ls and no sound with Windows media playe

I have an audigy ls and can play music with winamp, and dvd's with power dvd. However, when i receive audio/video clips via email, i am not able to get audio when i play the clips with windows media player 9. The video works fine. the trouble shooter tells me taht there is no hard ware installed or the device is being used by another program or the device is not functioning properly. i get error codes 0xC00DBA: Cannot play the file and Condition ID = 0x00000000. Anyone have any suggestions? Thank you, Sid

Thanks Jeremy,
However, when i try to play MP3's that i can play on winamp, I receive the same error messages as I mentioned above. I know that the MP3's are good... I can play them on winamp without problems. And I've been able to convert them ot WAV files and burned them on CD-R's and they ahve worked fine. the problems seems to be between media player and the sound card/drivers.

Audigy Value and low profi

Hi,
I was looking for an sound card which I can use in a case with low profile slots. So I found the Creative Audigy Value. I think the height of it is ok but it seems that there is no low profile bracket for it. Can I use this sound card in such cases nevertheless?

yes i have just bought the sound blaster audigy SE, not sure whether thats slim edition or slow or something but anyway its a half height card. I've been using the card unbracked for about a week with no trouble. If you are moving the PC about a lot it might flop from side to side about a bit but should be fine.

5.1 headphones and crappy sound

in an effort to get over the hurdle of K8N having the crappiest onboard sound for headphones ever (no bass) , i decided to purchase Gainward 5.1 headphones (with subwoofer).
what happens is the subwoofer channel does not come through at all and the center is barely audible (cant hear dialogue in DVDs). if i unplug the sub/center of the headphones and plug in my speakers sub/center, it is loud and clear.
tried the headphones on another board with realtek alc650:
wow lots of bass, very loud fronts (2 x as loud as K8N), but barely audible rears and centers - at least all the channels are there.
ok so the sub/center channel of the headphones is ok, the sub/center output of my motherboard is ok, so what the hell? underpowered outputs?
basically all i want to know is - does anyone else have 5.1 headphones on K8N - how do they work?
also, if you have 5.1 headphones working nice on another soundcard, which card?

I bought a set of Zalmans which aren't expensive ones . I had to disable on board sound and buy an audigy 2ZS to get them to work. I ended up returning them later. They seemed bulky to me after wearing them for a day. My sennheisers sounded much better,were cheaper, and a lot more comfortable to me. I kept the sound card. The onboard sound on this board is horrible.

(SOLVED) No system sounds, and no sound for some applications

For some reason, system sounds stopped working (like when one takes a screenshot). aplay plays sounds (I mean, no errors whatsoever), but I can hear nothing. Listening from mplayer or vlc still works as normal.
When I 'aplay sound.wav', I see the leds going up and down on pavucontrol, but I hear nothing.
I run openbox and I don't start gnome-settings-daemon with it. It is "pure" openbox.
I checked pavucontrol settings, and also alsamixer but couldn't find anything that could solve the problem. I use pulse-audio, and have pulseaudio-alsa and alsa-utils installed.

Yeah, I can guarantee that I didn't touch alsamixer myself. I didn't even know the F6 option (although, today I realized it is there very well visible). Anyway, I guess an update might have changed something... I saw other people with similar problems in #archlinux this morning.

Since upgrading to Lion I have Quicktime problems, it will not let me export files to iTunes, it is telling me file maybe damaged this is with wmv and quicktime formats, I also have problems with quicktime freezing and no sound on some files

Anyone got any ideas?

OK, I did as you suggested, the first step didn't seem to do anything, I selected to download it said immediatly "thankyou for downloading" but didn't ask permission as normal downloads do and it was also instantanious, no download time waited.
So I went onto the second step, downloaded and ran the free trial, showed lots of errors as I'd expect something selling a service to do. I have no idea what the registry does but am wary not to mess with it as if its damaged it makes things very very difficult. I don't know what to do with the results on that one. The messages all seem the same:
The Default Value in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/App paths/Your App exe contains an invalid path...etc and then goes on to specify a file or someters and numbers and semi colons. There are 388 like this. Again, I have no idea what to do with that information or how essential a registry clean is. About 5 years ago I had a Sony Ericsson mobile which would not transfer pictures to my computer. I called Sony up and they did a registry clean for me. It did nothing, I was still unable to transfer pictures and made a mental not to never ever get another Sony Ericsson handset. I can't help feeling a sense od deja-vu with this so am reluctant to do anything to the registry unless someone is there to pick up the peices on the other end as I can't just afford to go out purchase another computer hard drive.
Then I went back, re-downloaded the itunes again, this time it did actually try to download something.
I got an error message:
Error writing to file: C:/Config.Msi\2b8263.rbf. Verify that you have access to that directory
To which I said I did and to "retry"
It seemed to download fine! I have no idea what was different this time. Nothing I did was any different other then going from your link rather then the pop-up link I normally get. Maybe its just better to use a different link?
Thanks again!

Audigy Value questi

I'm thinking of purchasing an Audigy Value card, but I'm concerned about the driver support.
Are the drivers on the disk the only drivers you can use? Are there newer drivers (2005.. ) that can be used?
And does it support EAX 2.0 ?
I've reached the point where my onboard audio just isn't good enough, only the Audigy Value and SB! Li've 24-bit are in my price range, what should I be looking for?
As I am in Australia I cannot use such sites as NewEgg and my selection is limited.

Unfortunately I'm talking about the '...Sound Blaster Audigy Value .. 7.' not the Audigy2 Value
Link to the creative page :http://asia.creative.com/products/pr...duct=489&nav=0There's no useful information and it's pretty much blank. The specifications page tells me nothing. The 2005 beta drivers don't say it supports the 'Audigy Value' card.

Audigy Value: "Device Control" tool: what does it

Hello. Just bought an Audigy Value and I would like to try 24 bit sound. I found this tool that came with the drivers and tools named "Device Control". I can change from 6 bits to 24 bits and change from 48khz to 96khz there. But I don't know what is changing... recording, playback? I read the help file that came with the program but it does not help. Can you tell me where do I notice a change when I change the settings within the "Device Control" ? Thanks!

This error is because the order of your numerator is higher than the order of the denominator of your transfer function. This is an impossible physical situation and leads to a delta function and its derivatives in the output response. Physically realizable systems must have the order of the denominator in the transfer function greater than the order of the numerator.

Problems: Audigy SE and DirectSo

I've got an Audigy SE and have been having some (minor) issues. I've run the Creative Diagnostics and the card is failing the DirectSound test. I went through the steps to completely remove the drivers and reinstall them fresh and once they were gone I installed the drivers from my original CD and then ran the diagnostics again. Success! All test passed. I then updated my drivers (once via the AutoUpdate and once manually) and ran the diagnostics again. Failure! The DirectSound test failed. For now I'll be reverting back to the old drivers from the CD. Is there any way to update and still have DirectSound work properly?
Help appreciated.
~Darxide

I have that problem too.
There are 2 driver versions in the download page and in the Automatic Update utility, the first (the older version: SBA_PCDRV_LB__04_006.exe) works fine but the newer one doesn't work properly with Audigy SE (SB24_VTDRV_LB__04_0077.exe).
Looks like it installs a mix of files for Audigy and SB24, and that makes the card useless.
Also, I've got the same problem as many other people, the audio quality really sucks even compared to my cheap onboard chip, the software included is a mess and gives even less options than my onboard chip's drivers. Like Karaoke, the checkmark to remove voice is not enabled but I can do it even with my old 2. onboard chip.
Games like Half-Life 2: Deathmatch crashes often with it (I guess all Source games become unstable), and the <possible> solution, the newer drivers, simply don't work.
Please Creative fix these problems, because with the actual state of things this simply don't work (I'm back with the onboard chip now).

Concatenating context value and non-context value

Hi,
I have a context binding to one of the input field(lets say field-X) and also I have another dropdown list UI element(lets say field-Y) which is not bound to any context. When a user enters values in field-X and selects a item from field-Y hits the save button, I need to concat "Field-X - Field-Y" and assign this concatenated value to field-X context. So in a road-map (next screen) when I retrieve field-X context value it should have concatenated value of dropdown UI element as well.
Where do I do this concat (I mean which method e.g. WDModify) and how do I do it?
Thanks
Praveen.

Hi Praveen,
What do you mean by field-Y is not bound to any context?? I am sure you would have atleast bound the selectedKey property of the dropdown list with some attribute of the context.
For concatinating the fileds you have to write the code on the onAction function of Save button which is taking you to the next screen of the road map. On the onActionSave() you have to get the values of the currently selected input field and the dropdown value. Then you have to concatenate the values and set it in some attribute from where you can pick it in the next screen.
Please use this code in onActionSave() method:
// Get the value of the currently entered value of the input field from the attribute which is bound to the input field. I am assuming the name of the attribute as InputFiledValue
String inpValue = wdContext.currentContextElement().getInputFiledValue();
// Get the value of the currently selected value of the drop down field from the attribute which is bound to the drop down field. I am assuming the name of the attribute as DropDownValue
String dropDpwnValue = wdContext.currentContextElement().getDropDownValue();
// Concatenate with "-" in between
String concatenatedValue = inpValue+ " - " + dropDpwnValue;
// Set the concatenated value to a temporary attribute. This will be accessed in next view of road map.
wdContext.currentContextElement().setConcatenatedValue(concatenatedValue);
// OR if you want to save in same inputfield Attribute then also you can do that.
// use the similar code as above. see this:
// wdContext.currentContextElement().setInputFiledValue(concatenatedValue);
Here I am assuming that the attribute which have bound to the inputfield and dropdown field are directly under the context node. If not then you have to get the values from a specific node. Do it like this:
// Get the value of the currently entered value of the input field from the attribute which is bound to the input field.
String inpValue = wdContext.current<NODE_NAME>Element().getInputFiledValue();
// Get the value of the currently selected value of the drop down field from the attribute which is bound to the drop down field.
String dropDpwnValue = wdContext.current<NODE_NAME>Element().getDropDownValue();
In the next view you can get this concatenated value and can use whereever you want. Use following code:
// To get the value of the concatenated string.
String value = wdContext.currentContextElement().getConcatenatedValue();
I hope this solves the issue. Please revert back in case you need any furtehr help on this.
Thanks and Regards,
Pravesh

Audigy Value, 24-bit + 96kHz suppo

Hi, currently I am using Creative Audigy Value and Windows Vista Business. http://www.creative.com/products/pro...05&product=489As it said, it should support 24-bit / 96kHz. It work really well in Windows XP. However, no 96kHz option can be found in Windows Vista.
The driver that I used is downloaded from Windows Update.(Ver. 5.2..200, release on 2/4/2007)
Or ...should I update it via Creative web? Thanks~!
Ben

I reccomend using the ones from Creative's website, on my Audigy SE it allowed 96kHz capability.

Audigy Battlefield 2 BF2 Sound Issue Vista

Hi there,
I upgraded my machine to Windows Vista x64 yesterday. And there is someting that really peeves me. The sound in Battlefield 2 is horrible.....
Explosions, Jets, Arty and stuff.... sounds totally broken/scratchy, like if you turn your speakers as far as it will go... you know.. when it becomes booming and you fear your speakers take damage I think oversteering/overmodulating might be the right word.
I can't believe it... the Audigy card and its sound was superior using Windows XP.
Any suggestions

Soundblaster Audigy (latest official driver)

Hi,
I installed this one:
http://forums.creative.com/creativel...scending&page=
It's way much better then before but not perfect, still a little scratchy. I also installed the latest OpenAL (.) but the .dll's didn't worked when copied to BF2 folder, neither the one from system32 nor the one from syswow64. I found two a wrap_oal.dll, wich obviously comes with the drivers above. The 64bit version worked but I didn't noticed any improvements. So I switched back to BF2's OpenAL dll.
I gonna try the driver you posted later this day. Thank you very much.
