Audigy 2 Value sound problems with ga

While playing games, my sound randomly becoms crackly and screechy, and then there is no music playing, just sound effects. A while later, there will be more cracking and screeching and the music will return. I belei've this happens when the computers cooling fan switches from low to high, and vice versa, but I have not confirmed this. I am using an HP pavilion a465c.

You can see a comparison chart on this page:

The SNR (Signal To Noise Ratio) quality on the Audigy 2 Value is slightly lower than the Audigy 2 ZS.

  • SB Audigy Value card Conflict with Modem re-booting my

    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

  • I have sounds problems with iOS 7

    I have sounds problems with iOS 7. I can not hear my music, all the apps have no sounds. Only when I ask Siri has sound but it's too loud and awful. I found 2 errors with I ask to Siri what things she can do in Spanish the is an error and one word or If I ask who am I? She said that I have to go to settings and indicate her who I am but I already have that configured. And I try to configure again just in case, I do the same question and she still doesn't who I am.

    Try a Restart. 
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
     Resetting your settings
    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
    Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple. 
    Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

  • Is there a fix yet for the no sound problem with lion on the iMac without having to restart every time I switch the computer on?

    Is there a fix yet for the no sound problem with lion on the iMac without having to restart every time I switch the computer on?

    Try booting in Safe Mode by holding the the shift key immediately after powering on your system. Safe boot mode will for a directory check of your startup volume, then load only the required kernal extensions (kext files), and deletes some cache files. Once the system boots into Safe Mode you can simply restart the system to see whether the issue has been resolved.
    If you still have the issue try resetting the SMC by shutting down the system and disconnecting the power cord for ~15 seconds, then reconnecting the power cord. Next, reset the parameter RAM (PRAM) by holding down the option-option-P-R keys after powering ON the system. Wait until the iMac restarts twice, then let the system boot normally.

  • Really weird sound problem with rhythmbox[SOLVED]

    Well, I can't find anything on this, so i'm posting it here. I have no sound problems with alsa or other gstreamer apps(totem, banshee plays sound just fine). But when I try to play something in rhythmbox it just does not work. Mostly there is no sound, but every couple of seconds you can hear a distorted sound that is suposed to be playing for a moment. Rhythmbox does not issue any warnings or errors when launched from terminal. Is this some kind of bug?

  • Sound problems with movie

    I just purchased the movie "Overboard" in HD. The movie video plays ok, but the sound keeps going in and out.
    I don't understand why this is happening. My music plays ok and I'm not having any other sound problems with my

    I couldn't figure out how to re-download it or repair it.

  • Sound problems with my Visio

    Hi, I have read that people are having sound problems with their Vision M players, hissing etc.
    I wonder if anyone has had the problem I have - I cannot alter the volume! When I plug in either headphones or portable speakers into the M, using the touch pad has no effect on the volume. If I unplug it the touch pad then alters (or appears to) the volume - judging by the scale on the right of the screen. Plug the phones back in again and I get the same one level of volume.
    Also, the screen goes blank when I plug in phones or speakers.
    I am an MP3 player virgin and have no idea if the fault is mine or not.
    I bought my Vision M from Amazon, who very quickly sent me a replacement when I contacted them - even before I had returned the original. But the replacement has the same problems.
    Any comments would be welcome.
    John

    woggydog, thats what happens when your plugging outputs into the Audio/Video out socket of the player using the dock or supplied connector... it goes into line Out Mode, which cuts out audio from changing since the amplifier would be able to control this on a sound system.
    The one that shouldn't do this is the one on the top right of the player.

  • Sound problems with Portege M600 using WXP SP3

    I have had on-going sound problems with my laptop and feel so frustrated - please help!
    I have downloaded the sound driver (abt a million times - and tried uninstalling then reinstalling) - and repeatedly get no volume icon on the desk top and a message saying "no sound driver can be found".
    I did manage to fix it once - when i had WIndows Vista installed - by finding some obscure patch - but this time around - no solutions.
    Can anyone help - it is so frustrating!!!!

    The mentioned patches are part of Win XP SP2 & SP3
    So ensure that all service packs are installed.
    Then go to device manager and delete the High Definition Audio Controller (in system devices) and additionally delete all devices from Audio, Video and Game controller section.
    Then reboot the notebook.
    Wait until the device would be recognized again and then install the sound driver!

  • Sound problems with Satellite A100 (PSAA8)

    I am continually having sound problems with the laptop. Whilst I hear the windows start up noise and beeps, I cannot hear any sound from things like CDs, iTunes, Media Player - in fact an error message will always come up. In Media Player the error message "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device......." comes up. I have a the standard pre-installed Realtek sound thing on my laptop. I have tried downloading a newer driver from the Toshiba support centre, but I don't know what to do with the zip file. Also in Control Panel, Sounds, everything is greyed-out.
    Hope someone can help cos I am going nuts with this :-)
    Thanks

    Hi again
    I have downloaded the Realtek sound driver from the Tosh page and unzipped it.
    (I have chosen the driver for Vista!!! I suppose you use Vista???)
    There is a folder called sound. Access this folder and run Setup.exe
    But before you will start this procedure you could access the device manager (control panel -> computer -> device manager) and choose sound, video, and game controller. There you have to mark realtek AC and click on uninstall and reboot the unit.
    After this sound driver removing you should start the new driver installation described above. (setup.exe)

  • No TV sound - Problem with Pulseaudio and Gnome

    Hi Community!
    Since January 2013 I got big problems with the sound of my tvcard. The card is a Sundtek Media TV Pro. But after all the problems have nothing to to with the card itself!
    So far I found out, that the problem is with Pulseaudio.
    - Sound works under Windows on same PC.
    - Sound don't work under Arch - not with tvtime, not with vlc, etc.
    - Problem occurs even on a new installed system with the Arch-2013-02-01 install medium.
    cat /etc/mediasrv.log
    [1033] Pulseaudio connect reported an error (6 - Connection refused)
    [1033] select error() in audio processor (can be caused because of pulseaudio) (Interrupted system call)
    After setting up a new Arch installation with just xorg-server, gnome, tvtime and the sundtek driver from AUR I run journalctl -b:
    Feb 10 16:25:15 hightower pulseaudio[636]: [pulseaudio] pid.c:
    Daemon already running.
    With sudo journalctl | grep 'Feb 10 16:2' I get the following output:
    Feb 10 16:25:01 hightower rtkit-daemon[489]: Successfully made thread 488 of process 488 (/usr/bin/pulseaudio) owned by '120' high priority at nice level -11.

    Feb 10 16:28:55 hightower pulseaudio[997]: [pulseaudio] main.c: Start des Daemons fehlgeschlagen.
    So, if I understand right, pulseaudio is alreade started by the rtkit-daemon and gnome couldn't start it again.
    At https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/30926 I found a hint concerning /etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop and /etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio-kde.desktop.
    After removing them from /etc/xdg/autostart and running journalctl -b there are no more errors.
    With sudo journalctl | grep 'pulseaudio' I get:
    sudo journalctl | grep 'Feb 10 17:4' | grep 'pulse*'
    Feb 10 17:41:42 hightower rtkit-daemon[485]: Successfully made thread 484 of process 484 (/usr/bin/pulseaudio) owned by '120' high priority at nice level -11.

    In my opinion all looks ok! I also checked the channels with the alsamixer and it looks good, too.
    So I ran vlc v4l2://:dev=/dev/video0:width=720:height=576:tuner-frequency=510750:adev=/dev/null:standard=255 - but still no sound.
    With cat /var/log/mediasrv.log I checked the drivers logfile:

    2013-02-10 17:48:59 [1033] Pulseaudio connect reported an error (6 - Connection refused)
    I started tvtime again. This time I ran rm -rf ~/.config/pulse/ and killall pulseaudio to kill the Pulseaudio server. I instantly got a loud noise out of my speakers.
    I closed tvtime and re-opened it. And there it was: TV SOUND OUT OF MY SPEAKERS!
    But now, when I run pavucontrol I get:
    Connection to PulseAudio failed. Automatic retry in 5s.
    In this cas this is likely because PULSE_SERVER in the Environment/X11 root Windows Properties or default-server in client.conf is misconfigured.
    This situation can also arrise when PulseAudio crashed and left stale details in the X11 Root Windows.
    If this is the case, then PuseAudio should autospawn again, or if this is not configured you sould run start-pulseaudio-x11 manually.
    I got the information from Sundtek, that Pulseaudio should not be started as system service. Instead, every user should have an own Pulseaudio daemon and that PA was concepted this way. But they don't know how it is implemented in ArchLinux.
    I also don't know it exactly. So the question to all you ArchLinu pro's:
    How is PA implemented in Arch? And how can I sustainable solve my problem?
    Thank you for your time and help!

    killall -9 pulseaudio

  • Sound Problems with Windows Vista

    Hey,
    Ever since I installed Windows Vista onto my MBP, the sound has not worked properly. Can someone please help me with this, it doesn't recognize my sound card and I do not know what to do. Someone please help me.
    Thanks A Lot,
    Dawn Holubiak

    I am interested by your following answer:
    All you have to do is reinsert your Mac Windows Drivers CD and open it up (NOT TO INSTALL EVERYTHING AGAIN) but so you can individually choose which items to install. Scroll to SigmaTech Audio and just install that and POOF you have sound!
    What do you call the Mac Windows Drivers CD?
    I have installed parralell in order to run Vista on my MBP and indeed having some problems with the quality of the sound so happy to learn how to fix it. Thanks for yur help.

  • Hdmi sound problems with m9150f in media center

    I am running a pavilion m9150f Q6600 vista 32 bit and GeForce 8500 gt graphics on a sony wega 55" lcd projection tv. Recently I have been having problems with media center sound. Recorded programs from standard channels (2-64) seem fine but hd channels (1341, for example) produce an error message stating "Unsupported Audio Signal. Please check device output." Which kills all sound from Pc. After shuffling through various output options, often returning to the original settings, and occasionally reinstalling devices or drivers, the problem is fixed. Then, seemingly at random, POOF!, error occurs again.I am at my wits end and am ready to throw my PC out in the street and hit it with a bus! Please help prevent its untimely demise.
     Thank you.
