Audigy 2 Value + MedUSA Head

Hi,
I have an Audigy 2 Value and a MedUSA Headset. The headset has a hub, which connects int the soundcard and my speakers and headset then plug into this.
I went to update drivers today, which downloaded and installed fine. I restarted, and now there is no sound from the speakers, yet the sound from headset works fine. I've tried plugging cables back in again, to no avail. I have also tried installing drivers off CD, again sound in headset works but not speakers. They are on, and sound isnt muted... and were working prior to the restart of new driver installation.
I feel something is going wrong though, as I uninstalled the old drivers, installed updated ones and now I no longer have a Creative icon in my taskbar where before I could change volumes etc. I downloaded the Beta drivers which are the only drivers available to download off Creative website for WindowsXP and Audigy 2 Value.
Anyone any ideas?

Audigy 2 Value - Crackling/Popping/

Quite a few people have had a crackling issue in their sound, but nothing I've searched turned up a solution for my situation. I'll explain a few things that have happened to me since I've had this problem.
First of all, when listening to music or playing games with software rendering sound, there is no crackling or popping. This only occurs when I play games using hardware/EAX rendering sound. The popping noises usually occur on louder sounds like explosions and such.
I've had this problem for awhile, and now it's starting to bug me as nothing I do can see to fix it, however I don't know that the card itself is broken.
I had bought a new power supply because the existing one I had was old and cheap, and the crackling problem mysteriously went away. So I shrugged it off, and was happy. I recently went out and bought a Radeon X700 Pro to replace my Radeon 9600se, and it seems the crackling has returned. It's almost like it is caused by some sort of interference, but how can I fix it then? Because of this, I have a surround sound system that is rendered useless for gaming.
Current Specs
=============
Motherboard: Asus P4C800 Deluxe
Processor: Pentium 4 3.2ghz Prescott
Power Supply: 600w Ultra
Video Card: Radeon X700 Pro 256mb
Sound Card: Audigy 2 Value
Speakers: Altec Lansing 5.
If you see anything here that can cause this problem, please let me know. There has to be a way to fix this.
EDIT: Couple things to add. I've done the obvious things like moving the card to a different slot, or updating drivers to the latest.Message Edited by RatoN on -0-2005 0:35 AM

Well, I think the game with the most noticable problem is Half-Life 2 for me. Explosions sometimes come off louder than it should be with a terrible popping noise. It's just terrible.
The first time I had a crackling issue, I believe all games with hardware sound including Battlefield 2 and UT2004 were affected with the problem (The ones I remember off the top of my head anyway). This time around I tried Battlefield 2, Far Cry and UT2004, and it didn't have a noticable crackle. Only Half-Life 2 seems to suffer the exact same.
I'm not sure what you meant by the MIDI device and why it affects the sound, but switching that doesn't do anything for me.
EDIT: Okay, I just tested Half-Life 2 on the lowest settings and it appeared to help the crackle situation. HL2 did run at a more weaker frame rate than those other games I mentioned, but the frame rate was still playable anyway. I hate to think I have to reduce my graphic settings just to play with better sound.Message Edited by RatoN on -0-2005 :26 AM

Audigy 2 value and crash after installing and reboot

recently i bought the audigy 2 value model sb0400 sound card for the second time after i build myself a dream custom computer. Following installation i ran into a problem that reared its ugly head previously on my prior system that i eventually got so tired of trying to figure out that i returned the card. Whether i talk about the attempted installation on the old computer or the installation on the new computer there is one ever present problem of the computer crashing and not ever loading windows at all after installation. The installation of the drivers and bundled up software all appears to complete successfully prior to rebooting however when the comp is rebooted.........nothing a black screen appears instead of the windows xp loading which ends up never ever appearing. I would be very very greatful to anyone who might have a solution to this because in no way do i want to return the audigy card for the second time especially since absolutely everything i use in terms of sound is from creative 7. speakers and all.
Best regards

Say again? I have that box. I have my optical put in, but I cant get dolby. Is this card suppose to decode dolby or not? I'm talking about XP, not vista.

Contract net value for Header Statistics is not correct

There is issue with value contract. The net value for Header Statistics is not showing correctly for some contracts. Especially, when we delete the PO line items or reverse all entries (GR and IR) for PO line item.
Contract has one line with account category ‘U’. The target value is 300,000.00 and total quantity released to date is 160,000. The net value for Header Statistics should be 140,000 but it is showing 600,000 which is over (double) the target value and user cannot release any further PO reference to this contract.
Earlier I defined net price for line item 300,000 and I changed net price to zero and execute report RM06ENP0 but it doesn’t work.
Please share your experience and thoughts.
Thanks,
Shah.

Hi Jurgen,
There are few Purchace orders with multiple line items and each line item for Purchase orders referencing the same line and same contract.
There is only one Purchase order has two deleted lines against this contract.
Theses deleted line's net price has changed to zero and there is no PO history.
Contract released order value is correct as there is only one line, but net price is wrong. and user is getting error for target value is excedeed by $nnn when trying to create purchase order.
Thanks,
Shah.

Audigy 2 Value, hap17v2k.sys, and the B

Hello. I would like to state that if this is not the place for this question please feel free to remove it, I just figured this would be the first forum I tried for this question.
So here it is: I own a SB Audigy 2 card, and I'm trying to play this game: http://agtp.romhack.net/doukutsu.html - only when I load it, it causes my computer to crash.
Now for the long version:
I used to have an SB Audigy Gamer sound card, until I moved it into another computer and upgraded to this SB Audigy 2 Value card. I've played this game (which was built on DirectX 5, btw) with the old card and had no problems at all - though that was before I reformatted, so other settings and files may have changed. I can play other games fine - Final Fantasy 7 (uses DirectX 7), and even the newest stuff (Half-Life 2 - uses DirectX 9). This is the only game which does it.
Exactly what happens is this; when the game first loads, there is no sound (the way the game is designed). Once the title screen comes up, where there is sound, a second or two later my computer crashes with the following error, and an annoying clicking or screeching sound loop playing over the speakers (as you would normally hear if sound was playing when the computer crashes);
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
Stop: 0x000000D (0x0000000, 0x00000007, 0x00000000, 0xB7C89B)
hap7v2k.sys - Address B7C89B base at B7C6A000, Datestamp 4095DD7F
Well that's some of it anyway. I'm fairly certain it's due to the sound card because (a) in the properties for that .sys file it has Creative as the manufacturer, and (b), the game comes with a seperate program for listening to the music files - running this program is fine, but as soon as you try to listen to the music - it crashes... same error.
Here's what I've done so far:
- Re-downloaded and reinstalled the game
- Uninstalled and reinstalled the sound card
- Uninstalled all PCI cards except for the sound card, and reinstalled the sound card
- Verified that Windows, all my drivers, and BIOS are up to date (including the audigy drivers)
- Verified that the sound card is not sharing an IRQ, or any other types of resources
- Tried the game with various Windows XP compatibility settings (Win95, etc.), reinstalled DirectX, messed with the sound card's hardware acceleration (all the way off and all the way on).
I think that covers it all - also I do have an open discussion with Creative's support, trying something new every day now but I'm hoping someone here can help even a little bit.
I've run all the dxdiag tests and they've all passed, but here is the output if it's any help; http://www.eaglemaint.com/link/DxDiag.txt
Lastly, my system specs at a glance:
Asus A7M266-D motherboard, Socket A chipset
Two .53 GHz AMD MP 800+ processors
256 MB nVidia GeForce 6800 GT
.5 GB PC200 DDR
250GB and 30GB HDDs
Two 52x CD-RWs
4-port Asus USB PCI card
3 Linksys 0/00 Ethernet PCI cards
550 Watt Antec PSU
I think that's all the important stuff. I've done searches here in these forums, on google (only a handful of sites even mention that .sys file, so I can't find any information on it), and in creative and microsoft's support websites. If you have any ideas at all on what might be wrong or what I could try to fix it, please let me know. My AIM name is "The Eagle Maint" if you'd prefer that, or my email is [email protected].
Thanks ahead of time for any help anyone may be able to give, and let me know if there is anything else I can provide... I'm sure I'm missing something.

I'm not sure if the drivers are compatible between the two cards.
Recently when I uninstalled the audigy 2 and put in my old audigy card, I didn't remove the drivers first - upon restarting, the computer recognized my audigy with the audigy 2's drivers. It seemed to work ok, but I installed the normal audigy drivers anyway.
The catch is, well - the reason I really contacted support in the first place - when I had my audigy 2 card installed (with the audigy 2 drivers from the CD) I couldn't install the driver updates for my audigy 2 from the creative website. Basically, the online auto-update feature wasn't working, and when I manually downloaded the programs and ran them, they said that I didn't have an audigy 2 card installed. I got that resolved with support after they suggested that I download the audigy 2 'value' drivers - I had been trying to get the regular audigy 2 drivers (not value) before that... so basically, I think the audigy 2 can only take the drivers that I have installed now.
I suppose it is just some kind of incompatability, it just kind of baffles me because it used to work fine on my old audigy, and you said you've tried it with your audigy 2 and have no problem... computers can be such a pain.
Anyway, thanks for the help, I guess I should just be thankful everything else works ok.Message Edited by The_Eagle_Maint on 07-05-2005 04:25 AM

After installing the DR Driver on my Audigy 2 Value, I can no longer access the Equali

Installed the latest driver via the web update for my Audigy 2 value. When I reboot my machine and try to access the equalizer, it gives me a message saying "The audio device supported by this device is not detected etc". It worked fine before I installed this driver.
Any help appreciated.

Can you try rolling back to the previous driver (if you have a restore point), or reinstalling this update? Does that have any effect?
If you have any onboard audio make sure that's fully disabled in the BIOS aswell.

Audigy 2 Value with Windows Vista 32-

I have a situation where I have the beta driver working for my Audigy 2 Value but Windows does not give me a choice to select a 7. setup. It only allows a mono and 2 channel setup. With the Creative program that came with the driver I was able to select 4., but that leaves 3 of my speakers in my 7. setup useless! Is there any program I can use to configure 7. with Vista, just like how Media Source had?

The DAV-BC50 appears to have only stereo analog input ( pair of L/R RCA jacks). You need a cable with a stereo miniplug on one end and 2 RCA jacks on the other. The soundcard should be set to 2-speaker mode. The DAV-BC50 does not have any way accept discrete multichannel from the soundcard nor to accept encoded AC3/DTS from the soundcard. You can use Dolby Prologic II to get all your speakers going, but you should not use processing when playing DirectSound3D games because it will dilute the intended 3D soundfield produced from 2 speakers.

SB Audigy 2 Value Specificati

Hello, all,
I tried to get my SoundBlaster Audigy 2 Value to work under Linux, yesterday. However, it would not work at all, and the device wasn't being recognized at all.
After a bit of investigation, I determined that this particular Audigy 2 identifies itself differently than the Audigy , Audigy 2 ZS, Li've!, and similar cards (they all use device ID's of either 0x0002 and 0x0004, whereas the Audigy 2 Value uses 0x0008).
I hacked up the Linux driver a bit so that it would detect my card as an Audigy 2, but I still get no positi've results. I investigated a bit further, and discovered that the card is *claiming* to be using Revision 0 of the emu0k chipset. Now, all other Audigy 2's claim to use revision 4 of the emu0k2.
WTF. I'm getting the feeling that I've been ripped off. I expected this thing to be a real Audigy 2, not a board that looks like an Audigy 2 with some other chipset.
So, if this card really has an Emu0K or Emu0K2 processor, please tell me exactly which it is. If not, I'd really love to know which chipset this card is actually using so I can write an appropriate driver for it (or exchange it for something else, if it's some POS 3rd-party chipset).
Thanks.

I would also like to know whether it uses the same DSP as the Audigy 2 series (emu0k2). I would have bought a secondhand Audigy if this was the case. To the OP, I remember reading a review comparing the Value to a prototype version. If you look at the board, after the words "Sound Blaster Audigy 2" a space that used to be "004" is painted over with gold paint. Also if you look at the chip, it's a CA008 revision, whereas the ZS was an earlier CA002 revision and the Audigy LS was CA006. There's a small wire soldered on even that is rerouting a trace... Could that possibly be disabling some of the ZS functionality? Who knows. If you suspect otherwise, e-mail me @ [email protected] I definitely don't mind if I am getting more than I paid for, but I would like to know if I am getting ripped off. So again Creative, does the Audigy 2 Value use the same chipset as the Audigy 2 series?Message Edited by WiCKeD on 02-28-2005 09:32 PM

Error trying to run Audigy 2 Value driver inst

I recently purchased an OEM Audigy 2 value sound card that came with no driver installation CD. I have tried three times to download the drivers from the creative website and every time I have come up with this error while it is extracting:
File error CRC, 0xf3b0b7f:0xeb4fd5b
I am installing this to a brand new computer that has never had any sound card on in it. The on board sound is still running if that makes a difference.
I have looked throughout the forum with no avail. Any help on this would be very much appreciated.

I have the EXACT same problem... I can't seem to get anywhere with it either.
I've noticed a few such posts on the forum, but unforunately there have been no replies.
If anyone out there knows a workaround, please let us know!

Audigy 2 Value Install on Vista... Is it POSSIB

Ok, the Vista drivers that are supposedly for this card, do not detect it. The ONLY way I was able to install drivers for this on Vista was to use the original CD that came with the card. I had to use the XP drivers... OK, fine and dandy. Now, I'm stuck without any software for the card, because the ones on the CD won't work with Vista, and the Vista download will not install either for whatever reason. What gives with this card?

Make sure you download updates for "Audigy 2 Value", not "Audigy 2"; also you will probably need the original installation CD since they're updates.

Audigy 2 Value and Windows 7 64bit driver don't work

my first Audigy SE before Audigy 2 Value (SB0400) worked perfect on Windows 7 64bit
with Audigy 2 Value SB0400 i tried 3 drivers , including the beta from the creative support , original and daniel_k driver and after reboot the windows hangs at LOGO and stays there.

Re: SB Audigy 2 ZS and Windows 7 - Full Package driver?T While Creative has written new drivers and some applications for Windows 7/Vista for the Audigy, they have not re-written or updated all of the original applications on the CD. This card is very old now. What Daniel K. did was take all of the applications or most of them, and tweaked them to properly install and include themselves in the registry on operating systems other than Windows XP. For the full and most recent package, check here:
http://forums.creative.com/t5/Sound-...009/td-p/53838
If the application you want is not included in his package, then you can try downloading the official Creative version and install it on your system in "compatibility mode" by right clicking the file, and choosing properties, and then the compatibility tab and choosing "Windows XP service pack 2 or 3" and it may or may not function.

Audigy 2 Value left channel stopped working *complete

Sony Vaio pcv-rs530
P4 3.2 Ghz
Gb Ram
All-In-Wonder ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 28mb
Windows XP Home Edition v02' Service Pack 2
Logitech Z-5300e 5. Speaker system
I've had my audigy 2 value for about two months now. I managed to install it after a huge adventure of wiping my c: dri've after my first failed installation which ended me with no sound and no hope of restoring it back to normal, except the wipe, of course. It worked for a while, two months, but then I was having issues with my video card, possibly due to overheating because my audigy 2 value was one empty slot away from it and the circulation of air was not enough to keep it cool.
I stopped getting video related crashes after I put my sound card to the last slot, effecti'vely taking out my fax/modem, which I never used in the first place, in order to put the audigy 2 in the last slot, farthest away from my ATI AIW Radeon 9800 Pro. That little modem was blocking the last slot, making it impossible to put my sound card there. Then I noticed a few days later that my front left speaker was not working. I switched the speakers around, and everything worked except for the speaker plugged into the green line ouput, more specifically, the left front speaker never worked.
I'm currently using Logitech's z-5300e 5. speakers system, and they worked fine up until recently where the front left channel will not work. I tested it out on my xbox, and the speakers work fine. Both left and right speakers were okay. I took out my old desktop speakers that came with my vaio and plugged it into the green line output, and even then the left speaker didn't work. The same thing happened when I plugged my headphones in. The left earphone never worked. Both the old and new speakers and the headphones work properly otherwise (when not plugged into the audigy 2). I'm thinking my line output left channel has stopped working on the sound card itself.
I noticed that if I pushed the speaker plug into the outlet halfway, the front left speaker worked, but when I tested the calibration -- the voice matching said "front right" through the front left speaker. Even with all the speakers connected in any configuration, there was never a mention of a "front left" speaker. I concluded that the front left channel on the audigy 2 has stopped working.
Is this assumption correct? If so, wow. How would I go about fixing this? Does it have something to do with the slot switching? I reinstalled the drivers and programs for the audigy 2 after I switched. Although it did not seem to have a problem with me switching the slots even when I didn't uninstall anything. It detected the hardware switch, and everything worked fine. Should I try switching back to the other slot and hope my video card doesn't become one with my motherboard? The warranty has expired on my audigy 2 value, and I don't think I'll be compensated if I have no warranty, correct? All the drivers are updated, and it <EM>has</EM> worked before.
I've heard of other people's audigy 2 values that have had other channels just fizzle out in a few months. Am I one of them? Any information would be really helpful! Thanks.Message Edited by Paulie on 05-2-2005 06:30 AM

If you're sure noone was funny and turned down the left channel in advanced tab of Surround Mixer for instance, perhaps the connector loosened on the board or the soldering went bad; since your warranty expired (check with the store first!) I'd have someone who knows his way with electronics and soldering irons have a look at it.
PS I have the Audigy 2 Value as well; so far it works good but had I known it was treated like the ugly little kid in the Creative family that noone really likes to deal with i'd have gotten the ZS.Message Edited by Marco on 05-2-2005 0:2 PM
