Audigy 2 ZS 24-bit/96kHz Recording support

Hi
According to Creative's website,on Feb 2004,
only SBAudigy2Plat.Pro had --> ASIO 2.0 Low Latency Multi-Track Recording Support (24-bit/96kHz)
See http://web.archi've.org/web/2004028023909/http://www.soundblaster.com/products/Audigy2ZS_platinum_pro/compare.asp
But now, after Audigy4's release, the website's comparision chart shows all the members of the Audigy2 family can do 24bit/96kHz ASIO 2.0 Recording.
See:
http://www.soundblaster.com/products/Audigy2ZS_platinum_pro/compare.asp
Please clarify this ?
Were any new driver released by Creative to add support for 'ASIO 2.0 Low Latency Multi-Track Recording(24-bit/96kHz)'
for Audigy 2 ZS, as well as Audigy 2 ZS Platinum ?

-Q,
This has been added to the drivers. Make sure you are running the latest drivers and this should update you to ASIO 2.

  • 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 2 ZS Platnum Pro Multitrack recording probl

    I hope I am in the right forum. This one looks pretty close.
    I have the Audigy 2ZS Platnum Pro in a brand new Compaq Prisario w/AMD (64) CPU running Windows XP w/52 megs of RAM. I bought this card new a couple of years ago and got frustrated trying to learn to multitrack with it. I recently installed the card in the above mentioned computer and went back to trying to learn to use this device. When setting the driver in Cubasis VST 4.0 I used the driver that came with my Audigy card like the instructions say to do but it caused my "sample rate" to be set to 9600khz. The instructions say to run at 44.khz to avoid problems but that is not an option with the Audigy driver. I tried several different recordings before I tried a full song. Things were going fairly well till I used the Audigy Pro driver, I started recording and my computer went wako on me then reset to the command prompt and began rebooting but it was like it was in some strange loop or something. It was hard to get it turned off and then reboot the computer. This happened a couple of times. I quit trying to use the Audigy driver and and tried all the other drivers listed in the audio setup program. I actually got a nice recording with my midi piano and a vocal track somewhere in all that crap. I ran into problems when mixing down though. All that came out was the vocal. Like the midi tract wasn't even there. I followed the tutorial word for word but things just didn't work out. I'm still trying to figure that oue out. Since the mix down went wrong I am having what I think is called "fall out". When I record my piano (midi) the play back sounds like I was playing irratic. Like I had hicups or something. And that is before even adding any other instruments. I tried all I know to do with my limited knowledge of recording software and ended up doing a "recovery" of the oporating sustem in hope of setting whatever went wrong back to factory settings. That didn't help. I upgraded from the factory 52 megs ram to gig, that hasn't helped. I am starting to loose my temper and that is not a good thing. Too much expensice stuff in my room. If someone can please help I will be forever in your debt. Lastly I already did the setting the processor to "back ground processing". Thank you. Jeff

    I think, it's best if you use Creative bundled ASIO drivers @ 6-bit/48kHz 'resolution' (even your card perhaps supports 24-bit/96kHz w/ ASIO -> is the Cubases capable for this).
    Depending on your CPU performance, you should keep the ASIO I/O latency setting under 0ms when recording/monitoring.
    Also, remember set your 'project' to same resolution the driver is set to.
    When you're recording external sources (through line/mic/etc. ports), use AnalogMix/Line-In n for line source(s) and microphone for microphone recordings (recording/input source selection).
    You mentioned reading some tutorial .. was it the same bundled w/ Audigy? If not then, check this thread for more information -
    http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=profaudio&message.id=726
    BTW, have you tried w/ other recording software (like demos for sonar, li've, etc.)?

  • 24 bit/96kHz AIFF files an iTunes

    Hello - can I import 24 bit 96kHz AIFF files into iTunes (with the AUTOMATIC settings in iTunes Import) and have the files played back as 24 bit 96kHz ... or does iTunes do some internal conversion to some other format?

    Thank you cconnaker for your helpful reply!
    Patrick, I understood (from reading the Benckmark Media wiki) that there was an issue of iTunes truncating 24 bit wordlength to 16 on playback of 96/24. I have no way of measuring this on my system and wanted to ensure that the effort I am going to to rip vinyl will be rewarded by the highest quality of playback in iTunes instead of the recording/playback software I use.
    Helpfully, cconnaker has confirmed this.

  • Audigy Value: true 24-bit suppo

    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

  • SPDIF "Bit accurate" recording.

    Ok a little confused. I have Adobe Audition and Audgy 2 Platinum EX and need a high a quality true-to-original recording. A few questions:
    1. Should I set "enable bit-accurate recording" and why if so
    2. If I set Bit accurate recording and the Input via SPDIF is 16 bit @ 48 KHz should I set Adobe Audition to record at this also? Since adobe recommends always recording in 32 bit mode.

    > Theodore, not sure if you will read this or not since its an old post but try using 50% input level. I know this is counterintuiti've but in my adventures with the Audigy 2 NX I have found that 50% input level and 00% output level resulted in a bit perfect loopback recording. Not sure if this will help in your case or not but try it out!

  • Bit-Match Recording

    ? Hi folks,
    I am having a problem with Bit-Matching Recording... I have tried to record from both my mic pre amp that outputs digitally and from another PC both via optical cables. The problem is when I set the output of my preamp or 2nd computer to 96khz the Bit-Range monitor shows the correct sample rate and when I record (from the Console Launcher) in Bit-Match mode the file records at 96khz, however no matter which application I play the file back with the file plays back really slow. Bit Match recordings at 44. and 48khz are fine.
    Also does anybody know if the bit match option works with ASIO or other audio apps? When I have Bit Match option enabled all my applications (Vegas, Acid etc) still allow me to record at any bit rate. I know with other interfaces the clock should be locked to the digital input and this cannot be changed in the application. So does the card still perform sample rate converstion to the digital input?
    Cheers!?

    mmm ok that really has nothing to do with what I am talking about
    I am talking about the sample rate of digital audio coming into the Optical input and the realtion between Bit-Match (which is supposed to set the card to record to the same sample rate as the audio coming into the optical input) and the Sample Rate Conversion on the X-Fi chip. There is something wrong with the card recording a sample rate of 96khz from a 96khz source. Also other applications allow recording from the optical in at any sample rate even though Bi - Match recording is enabled, and I don't think it should be.
    Cheers

  • Windows Vista 64 Bit and Button Support - Qosmio G30?

    Windows Vista 64 Bit and Button Support?

    Everybody claiming that Vista x64 (or Ultimate) can't be used with FN keys or Flash Cards is utterly wrong!
    I have a Qosmio G30 running Vista x64 Ultimate, and have both FN keys, Toshiba Flash Cards and (partly) the hardware buttons at the top working.
    After a lot of research, I found that Toshiba has released a 64-bit version of VAP called util_tvap_27581D. If you google it, you might discover it...

  • 24-Bit, 96kHz Microsoft PCM WAVs result in no audio in any media player

    Hi guys,
    I have some downmixes saved by other progarms as 24-Bit 96kHz Stereo WAV files that play fine in all media players. However, when I save these or any other upconverted 16-bit files in Audition 3.0 as "Microsoft PCM WAV" (24-Bit, 96kHz, Stereo), they do not play in any of my media players. The file appears to be playing but there is no sound. The only differences I can see in the file attributes are that there is a new "Audio Format" attribute whose value is "PCM" - this attribute does not exist on the other (working) files. However, if I save the file as a "32-Bit float" Microsoft PCM WAV in Audition, they play fine! Here is an image to explain:
    http://www.aotplaza.com/Files/Audition%20Problem.PNG
    I would think that it is a codec problem but I didn't think WAV files required third party codecs in Windows XP? Any ideas?

    Never mind, I realised that the problem lies in the WAV format used. According to some websites I have visited, high resolution and/or surround sound WAV files can only be played back natively if they are in WAVE EXTENSIBLE format and the files I was saving were in PCM format. I solved this by setting ffdshow to handle all WAV files using DirectShow instead and the files now play back fine. :)
    Out of curiosity, I see no WAVEX save format in Audition although it exists in Audacity (an open source audio editor) - is there a way to save WAV files in this format?

    I had forgotten I had this topic started in the first place.... LOL
    Well, as I have said in my original message, I normally don't have the need to play .wav files that are coded in DD or DTS, so the fact that this is on/off at any time have little to do with my normal uses. I have no trouble getting the SPDIF signals to my speakers using the other playback media such as MP3s, regular .wav, CDs and DVDs, they all work normally as they should.
    So that was just a bit of a curiosity on my part.

  • Audigy Live! 24-bit quest

    I'm using my audigy in combination with a Logitech 680-speakerset. Which allows either digital (optical) input or through 3-jacks, offering full surround in '6 Channel Direct'-mode.
    BUT...if I start a movie with DTS/AC3-signal, I press the button on my Logitech remote, so it switches to optical input, and automatically to DBII/Pro-Logic when it finds a encoded signal.
    But here is where the problem starts: - I had a REaltek 97 on-board soundchip with optical output. Which 'outperforms' the audigy lli've 24-bit in terms of ease of use! -> Driver installation AND configuration is faster, easier and still leaves much to be configured if you like. (Plus, the driver is smaller, and the config-screen doesn't has this 'skinned' interface, which I don't care about, but only slows my computer down.)
    Realtek offered me the option to switch between optical and analogue through my Logitech, but everytime I want to see a movie with Dolby Digital sound, I have to manually set the output from the Creative tool, to SPDIF. And a minute later, when I'm playing a game, I need to switch back to analogue output.
    I want output on the analogue connectors AND the SPDIF, at the same time! Just like with Realtek.
    Any solution?Message Edited by Mizitras on 03-8-200608:59 PM
    Message Edited by Mizitras on 03-24-200602:39 PM

    I know, it is stupid, my onboard Analog Devices SoundMax?does analog?and SPDIF in the same time, but Creative doesn't know how to do that...
    I have no answer to that except that they?have used sometime ago?the digital out as analog out too (on Li've!) and they got "stuck" with that check box in the drivers.

  • 48-bit LBA ATAPI support

    I would like to know if motherboard K7 Master (MS-6341) include support for 48-bit LBA ATAPI (support for HD with more than 137GB) ?(

    HI donpolde,
    Good question  ?( ,
    I would have thought not, but I'm only guessing. As far as I know, it's only been tested (by MSI themselves, described on the K7 Master page) to 40GB. What HD are you using now? 60GB, 80GB?
    Anyway, let's hope someone (hopefully, another K7 Master user) will be along in a minute to let you know.
    Failing this, try contacting MSI directly by e-mail they should be able to help.
    Sorry I've not been more helpful.

  • Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Vista 32bit full support

    I would like to know if there will ever be full support drivers for the Audigy 2 ZS Platinum card and the I/O box in Vista 32 bit's? I am looking for the ability to use my 6. speakers correctly and being able to record through Line-In on the card. I would hate to think I will have to go to a competitor for a card that works fully in Vista.

    He didn't ask this in 2005, he's registered in 2005, he asked this a month ago (just look again back, I made the same mistake too )?About some replies:Yes the audio?stack in Vista must be very difficult to handle, but the companies had MONTHS, there has been A LOT since Vista's Beta versions and RC etc has been around. Everyone had enough time. I just can't play music correctly because of the current Vista drivers. Furthermore, I can't play my favorite game because some sort of application cslled audiodg eats lots of CPU while anything is playing through my sound card: not a good idea for games as they REALLY doN't run smoothly this way. What I want is not an immediate support, but a well planned approximate date for the new, clean, smooth drivers for Vista. Ok, maybe they are not ready and won't be ready until September, so I'll go back to XP. Or they are maybe ready and the developers are making the last adjustments and the driver's coming in a week or two, so I'll stick to Vista. Creative NEEDS to give this information to the customers, no one has to wait with bogus drivers. I'm not blaming Creative for having their drivers not ready, I understand that, it's technically difficult, but they should at least inform us about when will the drivers be ready.

  • Audigy ES crackle/poping whenever I record and playb

    When I upgraded from an older Biostar motherboard, cpu and RAM this past month i recently reformated my hard dri've for a clean sweep. I am a musician and when I installed the drivers for the Audigy ES normally as well as Abode Audition nothing at first sounded any different.
    Now that I upgraded to an Asrock K7VT6 socketA MB, 2600XP Athlon 333mhz fsb 52kbL2 cache CPU, and a single module of Rosewill 52mb PC3200 ram- when i record with my microphone jack on the Audigy, i get cracking and poping randomly from the Audigy ES. I checked to see if it was directly from the sound card by trying different cords, input sources, etc.
    I am definite that the sound is from the Audigy ES, but I've never had this problem before I upgraded my hardware and did a clean install. I also uninstalled the card and all CL software along with disabling onboard sound and moving the Audigy ES to a different PCI slot.
    Same thing.
    Could it be because of my upgrade there may be some hardware interfearence? Or perhaps I 'fried' the Audigy ES somehow?
    help?

    this is a pretty common problem amongst athalon xp chip users. It's my understanding, that on board raid chipsets play a part in the noise too. I've found though, that, I've had that problem before, and, w/not only a clean install of windows, depending on what features you're bios has, theres several ways to improve, if not even fix your situation. If your board has mp support enable it to ./.4... this will allow you to have many IRQ's (it's essentialy multiprocessor support on a uniporcessor board) Also, instead of automatic pci support, go manual, and choose IRQ 5 for the soundblaster. Another trick is to check enable memory hole in bios. I've virtually eliminated these issues, using these things, however, I find that, VIA chipsets, G-force cards, Creative cards, and winXP pretty much blowz for stability, so, get yourself a nforce chipset, w/an amd 64 chip, and discover what mac users have known for a long time.... multimedia and 64 bits is the shiznitz. (even when runnin at 32 bits.. :-))
    Stealthy
    ps.
    .. if I remember more, I'll post again. Oh... Remember, on clean install of win2k/winXP, if you click <f5> when it's asking<f6> for scsi (if you need scsi click'm both several times) <f5> will allow you to make choices relating to the type of pc you're installing your nt5 os too... choose standard pc if you want to be able to manually choose IRQ's, and acpi uni if you've got that mp support. Good Luck.

  • Bit Depth & Sample Rate: 24 bit 96kHz? 192kHz?

    I am using the Apogee Duet for Mac and iOS on my Mac and I love it - I'm thinking about getting an iPad for mobile recording (voice overs, mostly) and I wonder if Garage Band can manage 24 bit audio at 96 kHz or 192 kHz? I know that the Auria app can, so if nothing else I can just buy that, but since all I would use the iPad for is Voice Overs to edit later in a computer, a $50 app feels like overkill. Comments? Thoughts? Specs?

    Well, I am new to high-end sound cards, and I may be misinterpreting the terminology, but the sound card is supposed to be a 24bit/96kHz card.
    I am under the impression that one should be able to set the output quality of the card to 24bits of depth and a 96kHz sample rate, despite the speaker setting that one may be using, to decode good quality audio streams (say an audio cd or the dolby digital audio of a dvd movie.) I can currently achieve this only on 2. speaker systems (or when i set the speaker setting of the card to 2.) Otherwise the maximum bit depth/sample rate I can set the card output to is a sample rate of 48kHz and a bit depth of 6bits.
    Am I mistaken in thinking that if I am playing a good quality audio stream I should be able to raise the output quality of the card to that which it is advertised and claims to have?
    Thnx
