Audigy 2 Value probl

Hi,
I bought an OEM version of the Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Value 7.. It came without a manual or drivers, and I'm having more problems setting it up than I expected, on both Windows and Linux.
Firstly, I don't know where to plug in the CD audio cable from my DVD dri've. The Audiology 2 Getting Started Guide I found online does not help, since the Audigy 2 Value card only has TAD and AUX_IN (no CD_IN or CD_SPDIF). Is there any way at all I can play CDs with this sound card? I tried connecting it to AUX_IN and raising the AUX volume (with alsamixer in Linux), but no luck.
In Windows I cannot even get this far. It does not automatically detect any drivers, and I can't find any drivers for this card on the support site. Which drivers does this card use, and where can I get them?
Many thanks in advance for any help.

I'm with him on the drivers. I would like a definiti've solution from Creative's support on this question. I e-mailed them previously and received nothing but canned responses! Software auto-update gets corrupted when I try to use it. I see no solution listed on these boards. This is ridiculous.
I'll start off by saying that the choice of forum is suitable for your support, Creative. Totally buggy. It erased EVERYTHING I HAD WRITTEN *WHILE TYPING* and often does not display the full posts.
I have been using Creative products longer than most people can remember the name. Started with a SoundBlaster Pro, moved on to a SoundBlaster 32 (6-bit, 32-voices... come to think of it the first decepti'vely named product and also offered no support), probably the first to own a $250 3DBlaster Voodoo II when I was a teen, and finally purchased an Audigy 2 Value. In fact, the only reason I went with the A2 Value instead of a more expensi've card, was because it was the only one of the A2 Series that would fit in my custom SFF. With both Creative customer support and the technical specs backing it up, I purchased this card expecting to receive the same performance as the rest of the Audigy 2 series. The more I read, the more it looks like this may be a rebadged Audigy and that I have been mislead.
Look, I am truly fed up with this. Ultimately I decided on the Audigy line because of the performance it offered in gaming. Previously, I had been extremely happy with my Envy-based Philips Acoustic Edge, which sounded just as good in gaming and offered much richer .mp3 sound and processing for. I mainly just wanted a change. But if losing a few frames in games is all it would take to get better sound and provided drivers, I will not hesitate to go back or use an alternati've. Unless Creative publicly provides working Audigy 2 Value drivers and definiti'vely tells me that the Audigy 2 Value provides the same DSP as the rest of the line, I will no longer support their products by purchasing them ever again. You can pretend not to notice this post, but it will have the same effect.Message Edited by WiCKeD on 02-28-2005 03:44 AM

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:

Everything seems to be OK so it's propably the drivers for your modem that is causing the issue. Just try if updating them helps anything.
Also, you can turn the MPU-40 (onboard MIDI/Game port) if you dont need it.

SB Audigy Value CMSS Successfully Enabled in Vista, if you call it CMSS

I've been trying to enable CMSS (at least hear sound from all of the 4 speakers) for a long time and finally successed but in a very strange way.
Steps written below are spesific to my system (SB Audigy Value, Onboard Realtek ALC 850) but can? work similar way on others i guess. For SB Audigy Value 6 Feb. Vista drivers are installed. U can use old XP drivers as explained in the forum too.
I've been using my onboard audio device (realtek ac97) since I can't enable cmss on SB Audigy Value, so Realtek AC97 audio drivers were installed on my system. You can download Realtek AC97 audio drivers? from [url=ftp://202.65.94.22/pc/audio/623_Vista_APO.zip">ftp://202.65.94.22/pc/audio/623_Vista_APO.zip[/url]
Download and install it (first enable the device from bios if you haven't)
After installing the drivers,
-) Open "Playback Devices/Speakers(Realtek A'97 Audio)/Properties" window and open "Enhancements" tab.
2-)There's a "Speaker Fill" effect there. U can take sound from all speakers if u enable it on Realtek AC97 device. And let's import this to our SB Audigy Value device. I say "Import" because i noticed that?"Enhancements" tab is actually a set of registry entries which points to some features from Realtek device. So,
3-) Open registry editor. Go to
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\MMDevices\Audio\Render\
Under the Render key the playback devices are listed as some numbers and letters like,
{50a7cf0-aad0-444c-a56b-ce655444d}
4-) U have to find your own device (realtek speakers) , for instance my device is represented by {50a7cf0-aad0-444c-a56b-ce655444d}.
(This is for Realtek ALC 850 model, may be different for other models?I guess)
5-) Under {50a7cf0-aad0-444c-a56b-ce655444d} key you can see "FxProperties" Key. Rightclick on it and export to a file. Save it as RealtekCMSS.reg for instance.
6-) Then find your SB Audigy Value Speakers device. (ES/LS whatever...)
Mine is {5ecbbccc-eca-446-aa2-a7390cf094f6}.
7-) Rightclick on it and select "Permissions"
Go to Advanced/Owner, and change the owner to administrators.
(Don't forget to select "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects)
8-) On "Permissions for {5ecbbccc-eca-446-aa2-a7390cf094f6}" window select "Administrators"
and select "Full Control" to allow. Then click OK.
9-)Close registry editor and open RealtekCMSS.reg in notepad.
0-) Replace {50a7cf0-aad0-444c-a56b-ce655444d}
????to {5ecbbccc-eca-446-aa2-a7390cf094f6} using replace function.
-)Save the file as SBAudigyCMSS.reg and execute it.
2-)Now go to
"Playback Devices/Speakers(SB Audigy)/Properties" and you'll see "Enhancements" tab.
3-)In "Enhancements" tab enable "Speaker Fill"
Open an mp3 and test your speakers. Other effects work too.
From now on you can disable your AC97 device from bios. But don't uninstall Realtek software.

The previous post is inaccurate:? CMSS includes many modes, which will work depending on the speaker configuration. This means that CMSS set?to ON on 5. speakers is not the same as CMSS on Headphones. The selection is done automatically, depending on your selected speaker configuration. For example CMSS on headphones uses HRTFs to produce the effect, while on multi-speaker systems it simply maps and pans the sound. From my experience, CMSS works?good on headphones, not only for games, but for music as well. It expands the soundfield, where on simple stereo and headphones you normally hear the sound inside your head. My opinion is, that CMSS sounds much better on headphones than on speaker systems.

Severe Jitter/Glitches with Audigy Value/SE in Windows 7 64bit

Hello all,
Im experiencing a severe sound jitter and random "clicks" in windows 7 when playing music and using the computer for browsing.
I didnt notice this problem before because i used to keep my computer idle while doing other stuff when playing music.
the sound plays as if it "slows down" or something when doing random activities on the computer
My setup is
Intel Core 2 Duo E6550
4GB DDR2 800 MHZ
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy Value/SE
Windows 7 64BIT
Gefore 8880GT
I use winamp for playback.
Im using the latest drivers from the creative site.
Is there anything I can do?
The sound so

Thanks for the reply jmacguire.
I'm using default values: 6 bit, 48000 hz (DVD Quality)
Which one do you recommend with the SB Audigy SE?
The sound distorts when listening music in youtube or other flash webpages, both in normal and in HQ settings.
I have tried almost everything. I think the drivers downoladed for Windows 7 works better.
Then the Autoupdate function downloaded some new drivers (version .0090 I think) and it screwed up the sound on the web.

My PC using Intel D95GAV M/B, 3.2GHz with XpSP2. On-board sound ok. Recently installed SB Audigy Value card. It is working perfectly. But with that card I can't use any modem function, any time if I dial or connecting to Internet or Outlook my PC gets re-boots. I already disabled on-board audio. different PCI slot tried. Then I replaced the Audigy card. Replaced the Modem. Audigy Value card tried with another 3 PCs. all are facing the same problem.
Please Help me!

Unfortunately if you read the release notes for the Vista compatible driver it tells you not to use it on your particular sound card ;(?http://us.creative.com/support/downl...rtype=&x=2&y=7?Notes:
DO NOT?install this driver for Sound Blaster Li've! 24-bit, Sound Blaster Audigy LS, Sound Blaster Audigy SE, or Sound Blaster Audigy Value.<However when you tell the site you have an Audigy Value card it directs you to these incompatible drivers

Maybe you have installed all this stuff in wrong installations order. I have installed Win7 32 bit on friends Satellite A500 following this installations order:
-Win7
-chipset driver
-storage manager
-display driver
-sound driver
-modem driver
-supervisor utility
-infrared
-patches
-configfree
-VAP
-toshiba hardware setup
-HDMI control
-WLAN driver
Added Vista stuff:
-Toshiba assist - work properly
-Card reader - installed properly
-Webcam driver for A500 - tested with Skype - works properly.
-Synaptics driver
Everything works perfectly including hardware setup. I don't know maybe you should install Win7 again following this installations order.
By the way: hardware setup was shown in control panel in WXP but since Vista not anymore. So I asked you this question because I know for sure it is not in control panel anymore.
Since Vista Toshiba packed all tools and utilities overview in Toshiba Assist.

Help on Audigy value soundc

Hi,
I just bought the Audigy value soundcard, but when I installed it using the drivers provided in the CD. My windows volume control is displaying chinese characters instead of english, also the creative surround mixer display ? instead of the proper words(guess it cannot decode the chinese wordings). Anybody knows how to fix this problem? thanks?[IMG"]http://i29.tinypic.com/2vbrbec.jpg[/IMG]?[IMG"]http://i28.tinypic.com/6ep7cp.jpg[/IMG]

int i = Integer.parseInt(x);
Will convert the String to an integer.The original poster was looking for a way to convert a single digit in a string to its numeric value, not to convert the whole string to an integer.
I forgot to mention that this is contained in the
java.text package, so you will need to
import java.text.*;Integer is in the java.lang package, so no import is necessary.

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.

SB Audigy Value Windows XP applications All functions includin What U Hear working Proper

I have SB Audigy Value Card (SE/LS/ Li've 24 bit)Windows Vista 32 bit SP Classic Windows XP applications, Creative EAX SettingsCreative Graphic EqualizerCreative Speaker SettingsDevice Control And XP Drivers 5.2..54 Driver Date: 3.06.2007 Digitally Signed All the settings including "What u Hear" function work flawlessly under 4. system. (I didn't try 5./7. but I think it should work) I just mixed the applications from old and new driver packages and tricked the set-up program to install the XP drivers instead. I'm not a sound expert but I'm much more satisfied with tihs driver especially while listenig to music. I didn't try it with any games so I don't know. Download Link:http://rapidshare.com/files/9395098/...e0077.exe.html All the files included in this package are Creative's property.

I've spent ages searching the forums and can find other people who have experienced the problem but have yet found a fix. They've also explained the problem better so I'll try and make this a little clearer also.
When using Ventrillo first people can hear me fine in Ventrillo but an awful sound (described as the sound of 000 demons) in Counter Strike.<
When using CS first people can hear me fine in Counter Strike but the screeching sound is heard in Ventrillo.<

Creative Sound Blaster Audigy Value/SE/LS Driver 01.04.0

Creative Sound Blaster Audigy Value/SE/LS and Sound Blaster Li've! 24-bit Vista Beta Driver 0.04.0055
Yeah, 32-bit, wooo.
When will a 64-bit version be available?

Has anyone tried the "AMD64" Driver for the Audigy Value (I assume this is the SE?) that is on the bundled CD?
I tried different driversets from the download/support site to no avail.
I didn't think about the CD driver until I got to work this morning.
Really wishing I picked up the Li've! (yesterday) instead of the Audigy Value now
...expected this card to have a better chance, especially with "x64 drivers" on the box.
Oh well, I'll give it one more shot tonight with those CD drivers... hopefully something will work.Message Edited by abz on 2-07-200604:08 PM

Windows Vista vs. Sound Blaster Audigy Value = Problem

I am facing problems with SoundBlaster Audigy Value when using it with Windows Vista. However i have downloaded and installed latest drivers (Version No. - SB24_VTDRV_LB__04_0077) supporting this card but still it is functioning as good as it worked with windows XP .
Prob # : I can hear sound from my TV Tuner device but cannot perform recording , an error ("Cannot render audio capture system") is generated whenever i try to do so. I also tried to set recording control of my Tv Tuner device to sound card's "line in" parameter as i used to do in XP but in Vista my device shows nothing. Why ?
Prob # 2: Can you tell me where I can find "creative graphic equalizer" for this card which supports windows Vista or please provide a link to download it's
Prob # 3: Why we cannot enable "Bass Boost" using new Creative Audio Console while using Creative Inspire 4400 (4. Channel Speakers) like i used to do in windows XP ?
I will be extremely thankful to you if you please provide a solution to these problems.
Thank You........

altho i tried this with audigy se u might wanna check this

Query - Sampling speed in Device Control - Audigy Value

After installing the Hardware / Drivers etc for SB Audigy Value PCI card, Windows Control Panel shows one option named Device Control . Clicking on it opens a window wherein you can set the sampling speed for PCI/USB and SPDIF.
In case of PCI, I notice that the only two options 48 & 96 KHz are available. I would have expeted even 44. but it'ss not there..is this normal behavior of this control i.e. not to have 44. sampling option for PCI.
Thanks

Hello. Does the Audigy Value have true 24-bit support? I see a Creative application named "Device Control" that has some 24bit options, but I don't know if these are correct. Is 24-bit supported by software or hardware? If I change the option in "Device Control", will Winamp play in 24-bit's Thanks!
Yes audigy value has 24 bit support, winamp and all cd audio only support 6 bit,except HDCD it suppports 20 bit but only when you play it in HDCD player, and in windows you can play it using Windows Media Player 0Message Edited by Clickm3 on 04-08-2006 2:20 AM
