Audigy 2 Video Editor Sound Issue

The sound is great, but for some reason every once in a while i get this problem and i cant figure out why... I plugged in my headphones to the soundcard so i dont disturb my parents yesterday and when i took it out the sound wont come out of my speakers anymore. I can only hear sound through my headphones. I rmember I did something in the past and i got it working again through the speakers but I can't remember. Can anyone please help because I'm getting annoyed that I have to listen through my headphones now. Thanks

I also had this problem today. Did anyone ever find a solution?

Apple TV after upgrade only video no sound issue.

So I had no issues with ATV until yesterday(10/25/2013) when I updated ATV with the latest update .Since then , whenever I play a video on my iphone 5S and airplay it , the video plays well on the TV but there is no audio at all . I tried changing the Dolby setting s and the Audio Output settings , but it doesn't seem to work .
Never had this issue earlier .
Only restarting Apple TV and my Router seems to solve this issue for now .
Is there any fix for this issue.

Hi @31danny
I understand that one of your notebooks is not playing sound using HDMI, using all the same hardware. Also that you have performed some of the standard checks. I am happy to assist with this.
As to why the one is working and the other is not, is impossible to say yet. Like any complex device, there are small variations between the components, and in some cases that can result in differences between how one performs versus the other. So no two pieces of hardware will be exactly the same.
Anyway, I would recommend you check through this page and since you have already done many of the things within, I would look to the options further down, and start with the hard reset:
Troubleshooting HDMI Display and Sound Issues
Let me know if those steps help at all, and if not, any other information you can provide.

Audigy NX 2 sound issue (paus

I have recently purchased an Audigy NX 2 to connect with my Yamaha home cinema amp, I have it set to pass everything through the optical SPDIF for processing by my Yamaha.
The issue I have is that with the SPDIF output sampling rate at 48kHz there are frequent pauses in sound, if I change the output sampling rate to 44.kHz these pauses lessen but are still there.
Has anyone else experience issues like this? I have installed the latest drivers but with no difference. Is it an issue with me not using a USB2 connection and there is simply not the bandwidth to pass the signal along?
Any help appreciated.

Yunior,
I think that you are saying that sound is speeded up when you watch movies. If that is so, is there a time scaling option (such as in EAX Console or MediaSource organizer) in the software you use for this? And what software are you using for watching movies? Also, if you have not already, try disabling your onboard soundcard in BIOS.

Video Recorder Sound Issue

Hi all,
Not sure if my gripe is with my phone or this is a design/production flaw with the phone but when I use the video recorder, the sound is prett lame. I tried a couple times recording my TV and the playback is almost inaudible. Is this normal? I have the volume of the TV to "normal" that's at a comfortable level when I have the TV on and I know this is all relative, but you'll have to trust me when I have it at a comfortable level where anyone who does not have an ear issue can easily hear.

I just did a security wipe and removed all my data and it got stuck on the tutorial page right before you can actually use your playbook. I than held down the volume + and - and power key. To reset the Tablet and every now works
My issue is solved I think, hope this helps anyone having a similiar problems.
Also, if anyone has any ideas why this is happening I would be curious to know.
Thanks

Mini-Dvi to HDMI or S-video, also sound issues

Hello,
I want to connect my iMac with a Mini-Dvi port to a TV and want to hear the sound from the TV.
What adapters will i need to hook it up to a HDMI port, and will this connection also produce sound on the TV?
If that can't be done can I use a s-video adapter, and what about sound?
Last, do they have longer cables so you don't need your computer right beside the TV?
Thanks

You'll need Apple's mini-DVI to DVI adaptor plus a DVI-to-HDMI cable
(or a DVI-to-HDMI adaptor and an ordinary HDMI cable).

No. There are no audio signals on the mini-DVI connector. You'll have
to run a separate audio cable from the iMac's audio output to the TV.
The iMac's audio output is a "combo jack" that supports either analog
or digital (optical S/PDIF) audio. Your TV probably has an analog audio
input associated with one of its HDMI channels.

Video and Sound issues depending on how ATV2 is first used

I have the HDMI run directly to TV, and the optical run to DAC/Amp
1) TV is first off, then stream music from iPhone through Airplay
Sound is great. But later when TV is turned on, ATV2 only shows the apple logo with everything is only shades of green. Can not get the menu to appear again.
2) TV is first on, then stream music from iPhone through Airplay
Video works fine, but sound has noise and popping,

And 3) A loud POP from the optical out when ATV2 first awakes

Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor - recording audio from optical digital in - sound drops

Hi guys
I've had an audigy 2 zs video editor for a couple of months now and it's greatly improved my audio output from my computer.
But the other day I started trying to record vinyl onto my computer directly.
In the past I've always used my hifi cd recorder deck, then ripped the audio off the cd.
So I have my turntable connected to my amp, and I use my minidisc deck as a DAC, then record using an optical from my minidisc DAC, to the optical input on the front of the audigy.
So I fire up the creative smart recorder software and start messing with the levels.
I also use a free bit of software from
http://www.darkwood.demon.co.uk/PC/meter.html
called meterV which gives me a larger and more prominent read out of the level.
I then fine tune the output level on my DAC.
I have the stereo line out sockets on my audigy connected to an input on my hifi amplifier for listening to digital music etc.
So I start the vinyl and the sound starts coming through my DAC into my soundcard, the level readings start going, and the sound comes out of my hifi speakers.
My amp's switched to the audigy input - not the turntable
The problem is... every 30 seconds or so, the sound cuts out for 2-3 seconds and then resumes.
But the sound doesn't drop off on the level meters, or on the actual recording (recording 44.khz, 6bit wav file).
Only on the stereo line out of the audigy.
I ran the following test to see if the sound also cut out on the optical and coax outputs...
Whilst recording from the optical input, I've also tried recording to a minidisc portable from the optical out at the same time.
And the sound cuts out the same as when listening to the stereo line outs.
So the sound cuts off on the line out, the optical out, and also the coax out.
But this only happens when recording from the optical input.
When recording from the stereo line in - the sound doesn't cut out on any output!!!
The input selected in creative smart recorder is SPDIF.
This problem happens when smart recorder isn't even running - if I'm just listening to the line outs the sound cuts out.
But if I'm just playing back an MP3 or any sound, and there's nothing coming into the inputs, then playback is fine!!
So it's not a connection issue!
It doesn't seem to be triggered by sound frequencies - it seems to happen every 30-40 seconds no matter what is being recorded (it does the same thing when playing a CD so it's not just when using a turntable)
I've tried restarting the computer several times.
All the connections are properly seated.
I've had task manager loaded whilst this is happening to check CPU usage, and nothing - it just continues in a fairly straight line as normal. No spikes in CPU usage (I would have thought it unlikely that the video editor would be affected by such things anyway being an external box).
There is nothing else connected to USB - other than an internal memory card reader attached to a motherboard USB header.
And a wireless adaptor also connected to the motherboard - but the problem still happens when the wireless adaptor is disabled.
There's also nothing else connected to the USB ports on the Video Editor box.
Machine spec:
Shuttle SN4G2-v3
AMD Athlon XP 3000+
GB memory
80GB IDE HDD, 2 x external Lacie FireWire 250GB dri'ves
LG dual layer dvd/rw/ram
Win XP Pro SP2
I've not upgraded firmware or drivers - just used the installation from the CD.
What confuses me is why this only happens when recording from the optical input, and it affects all outputs but the recording and the level monitor show no trace of the temporary loss in sound!
So the audigy is receiving the sound, but it just drops off the outputs for some reason!
Any ideas?
I hope the above explanation is clear.
Thanks
Ben

Sorry for not replying - have been away for the past few days.
Ok, so I go to Creative Device Control, and on the PCI/USB tab I've changed the sampling rate to 48khz.
It was previously at 44.kHz
The bit depth is still at 6bit
Now the problem seems to be solved.
The problem was only with the output from the device. And now there are no skips!!
Excellent!
Why has that solved it though?
I've read on other forums (head-fi) that the audigy cards do not run at 44.kHz nati'vely so the sound has to be downsampled.
Is that skipping an artefact of that downsampling process?
Will having that set at 48kHz, but recording to a 44.kHz 6bit wav file theoretically reduce the quality of the recording - compared to having it set at 44.kHz and recording a wav at 44.kHz?
On the SPDIF tab the input sample rate is shown as 44.kHz - as that's what is output by the DAC in my minidisc deck.
But when I changed the sampling rate on the PCI/USB tab, the SPDIF output sampling rate also changed to 48kHz.
This means if I wanted to record from the optical output, whilst also recording to the computer, and that device only supported 44.kHz - I can't do that?
You listed some main reasons to the truth, why Creative SB cards are not very popular on serious use (DAW). I.e. need for resampling. X-Fi's in creation mode are (least said to be) the only ones not resample everything.
There is a setting for "Bit-Accurate-Recording" (digital modes only) --> have you tried if that works on your recordings?

Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor - Issues/Updates Comi

I purchased my Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor in December with every intention that it was going to work with Vista. I was really upset when no driver was available at the Vista Launch, but finally a "Beta" driver was released which restored?some functionality. There are many issues however:
When the initial support plan for Vista was posted there was NO MENTION of no video capability being removed from the driver. Only recently this was added to the FAQ. I find this highly decepti've. This is advertised as a expensi've superior external video encoder - make it work as advertised!!!
<
There is currently no official support for hardware accellerated 5. audio and THX decoding. When will this be coming?
<
There is currently no support for connecting and disconnnecting headphones from the external box. Audio will switch to the headphones when connected, but when the headphones are removed you have to go manually into windows and change the settings back - a royal pain!!!
<
Digital Output and Inputs are not working.
<
Volume control adjustments, including muting on the external box is not working.
<
Remote control functions are not working to control media players.
<
You basicallly can get audio out and that's it. Come on Creative Creative... this is close to a $400 paperweight!

Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor & Vista Business installation iss

So this is my letter to?Creative who have yet to respond, does anyone have a similar set up to me who can shed some light on this issue and fixing it. Having no sound and not being able to listen to itunes is not a good thing.
To Engineers,
Firstly id like to say I?m very disappointed in purchasing this $400 AUS SB Audigy 2 after looking on your website and seeing the Microsoft vista logo plastered everywhere thinking this device would be compatible, quite clearly it is not as I have installed/uninstalled drivers and disks..only to find that it is pointless..
So here I am about to explain my situation in order for you guys to find me a suitable driver ASAP.
I currently have a HP M777A running on Microsoft Vista Business with 3.06GHz and 2x GB Kingston Memory..
In my office I have a 5. speaker surround which sits with my 9?LCD which I like to listen to music from and watch DVD?s.
In my lounge room I have a 42? LG Plasma Display which also runs with my Denon AV4306 Recei'ver which also have a 5x speakers surround.
Prior to Vista, I was able to watch DVD?s or listen to music through iTunes which was being powered through my PC, I was able to do this simultaneously in both rooms. This is what I need to achieve again very soon.
After scouring dozens of websites and reading this products pitch lines which states that this virtually anything can be played through it, well this is why I bought it.. But I?m very disappointed.
My question to you guys is this.
. Is there a driver or something I can load up to fix my problem
2. ?If NOT, then how long will it take to be released.
3. ?If so, how do I find out about it when it is released.
4. Etc etc.
Please advise ASAP with a solution I can work with.

Trouble using Creative Audigy 2 ZS Video editor with an external Dolby / DTS Deco

I had purchased a Creative Audigy 2 ZS Video editor for following two requirements,
I wanted to be able to Digitize video from almost any source.<
And I also wanted to have an external Audio Card that I could share between my Home Desktop / Laptop and let Digital Audio Signal get to my Yamaha Reciever that powers a Bose Home Theater Speaker System.<
My typical connection setup is,
Desktop / Laptop >> USB 2.0 Shielded Cable >> Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor >> Optical Out >> LC Optical Cable >> DVD Optical In of Yamaha reciever
I do not have WinDVD or any other program that can allow SPDIF in Pass Through Mode, so I use VLC as my media player. While playing DVD / other DivX / XVid videos with Dolby / DTS / AC3 audio track I get the option of setting the audio to SPDIF Pass through Mode and that's how I use it.
It had been working fine for a while (6 months) and then I was not using the card for a while (been busy at work). And since then I'm not able to use this in SPDIF Pass Through Mode any more.
Each time I select that mode in VLC the player kinda freezes and plays Media File with breaks, making it just un-usable. In case I leave the player audio option to Stereo output?mode it works fine, but I do get only Analogue Audio deli'vered to the External Recei'ver and to say the least, after listening to DTS / Dolby audio this simply doesn't cut it.
I've already updated the latest drivers from Creative Site, have tried the card with two different Dell Laptops (D820 and D80) and my home desktop. It gives exactly same result in all cases.
I've not tested DTS Decoding output from the Device itself, 'cause I don't have sufficient cables to take decoded output from the device and send that to the receiver. But in case I opt that option in VLC player The player keeps playing Video without any issues. I can't validate if it's decoding correctly or not, 'cause I don't have cables to connect all that outputs to the receiver.
Can my problem be related to anything on the Optical connection cable itself?
If someone could shade some light on this issue that would be really helpful.

Hello,
I have the exact same problem and would very much like to know if there are 64bit drivers available.
Thanks in advance.

Creative audigy 2 zs video editor probl

please help how could u adjust the frame size and the video bit rate of audigy 2 video editor before capturing
it seems that the video bit rate and frame size remains fixed cannot adjusted
why is it audigy 2 ve is recognized as unknown msdv at the source of ulead video studio?
please help
regards
dan

Thank you for the reply split0,
as for the informati've post, thank you for the compliment, i tend to not open a thread at all unless i have spent enough time on the problem and searched around enough for solutions, and after that i only post if it has enough info regarding everything in inside the thread.
In regard to the known incompatibility list, unfortunatly this is one of the things i checked beforehand already.
The PCMCIA adapter in my laptop is a Texas Instruments PCI-8x2/7x2/6x2 CardBus-controller.
Which is one of the most common controllers and should normally not cause any troubles at all, also in another thread on this forum i found a differant driver for it, i even tried that with no result sadly.
At the moment personally i am thinking the whole problem lies within not being able to uninstall the onboard sound card to full extent somehow, and while i posted here i also have all this info in a direct message sent to creative, and even acer for that matter.
In hopes of some kind of solution for this so i can keep my hopes up for not having to return the card itself.
What bugs me is that there is option at all to disable the onboard sound through the bios.
Because right now whenever i install the ZS notebook card it checks hardware for the onboard first installing it again, then setting priority for the zs notebook.
This is what seems to result in the crashes through a conflict in drivers in my idea, but thats just a hunch which i cant do anything about currently in regard to testing unless someone has an idea for me to try.

Using Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor without compu

Hi
I've got the Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor and, as my front room decoder has just gone kaput, I'd like to use it as a decoder without having to have it plugged into my computer. However, I've run an optical cable from my DVD player to the A2 ZS VE and connected it to my 5. speakers - but no sound comes out. Do I give up here?

Anyone know whether this is possible?
I'd love to be able to re-write the functionality of the supplied remote control.
Any chance of you guys at Creative releasing a small app which anyone could use to trigger a custom command on any remote control action?

Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor -5.1 input via SPD

<SPAN>
<SPAN>
<IMG height= alt="" src="http://forums.creative.com/i/p.gif" width= border=0>Ok, I'm a little frustrated now but I'm sure and hope this is my fault and not the one of the device. I bought an Audigy 2 NX which isn't able to capture and encode 5. audio streams. Now I bought the Audigy 2 Video Editior and it doesn't seem to capture 5. either. I have a digital cable receiver connected to the SPDIF input of Audigy and have the receiver set to play a 5. Dolby Digital stream. However, all Audigy 2 does is playing a crackling sound.All encoders at the Device Management are enabled. Doesn't the Audigy 2 Video Editor support 5. input streams?

Daedalus3,
I know I've addressed this one before ... I have never heard of any Audigy soundcard, including Video Editor, taking a 5. compressed signal into the S/PDIF and recording it as a *.ac3 (for example). I do not know of commercial audio software apps that support this and anyway there would be an outcry from the RIAA because such a facility would remove all "roadbumps" to jacking commercial surround recordings at full resolution.
You can record a stereo uncompressed stream from the SPDIF (e.g. the output of a DAT player or of various other consumer audio devices).
