Audigy 2 ZS and ASIO 24/96

I have seen several posts about how to use ASIO 24/96 driver for Audigy 2 ZS but they are pretty old now and the problem I have experienced is just a few years old.
I used the driver on my old XP 32 bit computer for critical recordings for highest possible quality though it was only possible in Wavelab for single track recording/playback. Running multitrack was too heavy for my computer. I then had a long break from music making and started again a year ago. I couldn?t get that driver work again but didn?t bother much as I didn?t have to record any external audio yet.
Last weekend I upgraded my computer to a quadcore cpu with 6 gig RAM and Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. I can now use ASIO 24/96 and it runs smooth and free from glitches - but it only works for playback. Whatever input I choose all I get is silence. The other two ASIO drivers works though but they cannot record in 24 bit/96 kHz. In worst case I could have used the WDM drivers only for the recording part but those does not work at all at any rate - I get so much dropouts that the recordings are full of "holes".
Has the drivers been changed during the years so actually can't record when using ASIO 24/96 driver? If it wasn?t for the fact that it didn?t work on my XP?system either I would have thought it was a Windows 7 issue.

I have an Audigy Platimum Pro and I changed the audio devie type in the Preferences to SB Audigy 2 ZS ASIO 24/96 (FF40), but when I try to record and check the little monitor bar, I can see the levels, but I hear no sound. If I uncheck it, I see no levels, but I hear sound. I cannot record because of this sicne when I hear the sound nothing is getting recorder. I doublechecket everything but I cannot solve the problem. Please help me if you can
Thanks

Hmmm.. What the error message says?
Which input source you have selected to record from?
Have you selected the output port(s)?
Are project samplerate and bit-depth set to 24/96?
Does this issue occur when ASIO res is set to 16-bit/48 kHZ?
Is tehere a setting for monitoring on ACID audio/global properties (other than the ON/OFF found on every track)?

Audigy 2 and ASIO driv

I have recenty installed an Audigy 2 and loaded the most current drivers for it from Creative. I am using the WDM drivers but would like to try ASIO drivers. It was my understanding that the latest driver package had the ASIO drivers as well. They don't appear in the list of drivers that I can try. If I browse to the SBAudigy 2/program/WDM/Common/ I can see CTASIO.DLL which I think is the driver but if I try to browse to it when updating driver it doesn't work cause I think it is looking for an .ini file. Any way I can't find anywhere that explains exactly how to install these drivers.....but from what I have read they would be best for what I want to use it for which is recording. I am usiing Windows ME if that makes any difference. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I'm thinking my mate doesn't have the same audigy 2 card as me and thats why it aint working, do you know how i can find out which audigy 2 i have?
I've disabled on board sound in bios so its not that.
There is a sticker with a serial number on card (something like MSB0243xxxxxxxxx). The bolded part on my example shows the model of your card.
I think you can install these drivers (use the instructions if you don't like to install the Audio Console utility too).
Also, you can download ISO image file of the original installation CD by following this link. Install software by running the start.exe found on CTRun\ folder in that image file (when extracted or burnt).

Request for advice on Audigy 2, Audigy RX and ASIO

I believe this may be my first posting on this forum although I have visited many times. I'm not a techie and a lot of the jargon is lost on me so apologies if I go off track a bit.
I am a big BIG fan of the Audigy 2 and I had been using it very happily on my Windows XP machines for at least 6 or 7 years and 3 rebuilds. When I upgraded to Windows Vista and then 7 (reluctantly) all hell broke loose.
Let me explain briefly how I use the card. I record and perform music tracks and I also regularly broadcast through a digital radio stream. Using the "What U Hear" recording setting I record and broadcast voice on mic simultaneously with backing tracks. The recording facility and EAX functions, particularly reverb, were therefore essential to me. It was a sombre moment when I lost them in the Windows upgrades, which turned to panic soon after trialling replacements from various manufacturers, Creative included.
I had a common problem with all of them; latency.
I must have tried about a half dozen or so alternatives. Each were PCIe connectivity, each had ASIO functionality and each had an infuriating latency delay between input and output (singing and hearing) that despite being milliseconds made it impossible to perform or record. I had to return them all.
The problems Audigy had with Windows after XP are already well documented and it was only thanks to the extraordinary efforts of certain enthusiasts developing upgraded drivers etc. (Thank you Mr K!) that I was able to maintain use of my beloved Audigy 2. It has rallied magnificently through much adversity and I persevered with the minor anomalies that I was unable to resolve.
For example, changing the default recording device from microphone to What U Hear and vice versa (through Windows audio settings since the Audigy panel can't do it now) would indicate that the change was successful but doesn't actually activate until I reboot. Never got to the bottom of that that and I could live with it but recently there have been some other glitches.
Music playback (on any software) will drop randomly to terrible static needing a reboot to reset.
Skype voice sounds awful to whoever is listening to me. On the rare occasion I get it working I save the settings (I have tried numerous fixes) only to find that the problem returns next time I reboot. There seems to be no consistency to the cause.
The Audigy RX looks like it will do the job for me but I am concerned about the latency issue. Is it related to the ASIO function?. As I said earlier I am NOT a techie; only through trial and error did I manage to keep the Audigy 2 going for this long.
ASIO I've read about and it seems now to be an industry standard, supposedly to improve performance but so far I have found quite the opposite. I'm not sure what it really is, how it works or if I need it. I don't think Audigy 2 had it and that was fine for me.
So please help; what can I do about this cursed latency?

oh, and I also have two LaCie NAT drives with ethernet connections which I'd like to be able to access from the iMac and the MacBook Pro...
Thanks!

Using VST plugins and ASIO for everything?

Just a thought. Oh how much I'd like this!
To be able to use universal VST plugins and ASIO for everything directly from Windows would be ideal. To put this simply, making the Creative Windows "mixer" a true equivelent of a pro-software mixing app (Ableton, ProTools, Sonar, Cubase, or any other) in terms of absolute control for all Audio effects and I/O.
If Creative won't ever do this even on their next gen cards, somebody or some company that knows a decent mixer setup should write such a replacement mixer soon offered at a fair price (if not free) that will do so with easy, complete, reliable integration.
Long and specific
VST related:
- Use X-Ram to cache inserted VST plugins. Now theres a potential great reason for it since it obviously doesnt use any to cache the I/O bus like ALL OTHER periphials that have Ram caches. Its use is dictated by software, so why not?
- Allow setting some tiny but likely necessary amount of X-Ram as an additional plugin audio I/O buffer. This should be much less than what mixing software needs for this setting since that would all have to pass the CPU.
- Use Creative's processing hardware directly instead of the CPU so VST plugins won't increase CPU usage (within reason of course).
- Yield overhead when using lots or higher-demand plugins if set in bit-match mode. Why waste all that power for SRC when Voxengo R8Brain or plenty of other pro software can do that a million times better and way faster in non-real-time? OK, only Creative could work this one in.
- Why VST plugins? I'd trust my favorite EQ, digital limiter or whatever that has 64-bit float internal precision and oversampling vs. a 24-bit (rounding-error heaven) with no oversampling like the built in Creative ones.
- If Creative has confidence in the quality of their own propriety effects, doesn't have to be VST but simply making them usable as a ReWire bridged devices into most any host with parameter automation controls and all. Obviosly these could have much lower latency than VST that normally relies on CPU processed software code.
- The only argument against this is that some VST plugins have huge latencies. Optional latency delay to keep tracks
- Allow Creatives hardware to insert as a ReWire slave or otherwise bridged device to ASIO-based apps so VST's can be outsourced from demanding more CPU when mixing. I could also add MIDI plugin effects as well.
ASIO related:
- Allow changing any and all audio I/O routing for individual channels on the fly for Windows and ANY software (not just ASIO compatible stuff). Just like in Ableton, Pro Tools, and every other WELL designed "mixer".
- Treating XP itself and any software that normally goes through DX/MME/etc to use this ASIO mixer by making it appear as an insert send/return in the mixer so it can get routed and processed individually to my liking.
- Can insert send/return signals for any DX/MME/etc program to/from any track or #tracks in any combination up to some reasonable limit with pre/post gains. At least several send/returns slots per channel.
- A game that uses ASIO would be sweet. 0% FPS drop. IMO DX/MME/wave-mapper sound sucks. No control, many wasted CPU cycles, and horrible latency.
- Ability to save/load PROGRAM-specific routing chains. Having it so simly running a certain program will automatically insert it how/whereever I specified, if not default, with all relevant I/O settings, including plugins and related settings that were put in the insert send/return path series to that program of course.
- Put real-time SRC, compression encoding/decoding, or any Creative effects as well whereever I want in the signal chain, whether universal to a track I/O or program insert send/return I/O.
- Ability to record tracks or the master likewise.
- No digital feedback possible caused by monitering/recording/routing configs that would be possible in any decent mixing software. Surely not ever from a default setting or made sometimes impossible to prevent like on the Audigy series. Well unless I do something stupid that SHOULD cause feedback. Speak of a truly worthless mixer, this BTW is the ONLY reason I couldn't just go the manual route and run my host all the time, forcing ALL sounds through it for real-time playback with my Audigy. I'm assuming XiFi's Audio-Creation Mixer doesn't have this horrible problem.
- Imagine putting any combination of sounds in 7.1 surround, monitering specific channels to any physical output, or up/downmixing 5.1 as it plays in real-time, etc. any thing like this possible instantly with a few mouse clicks! This would be SO EASY and completely possible to implement, most of the above right onto existing XiFi's as is.
It's not like it would be competing with pro-interface rackmount products so no harm to Creative. I sure as h*ll wouldn't record with any soundcard's analog pre's or unbalanced connections for that matter. Guess I just love the interface and control of a REAL mixer that can do it all.

cusis wrote:
But would it be possible to somehow use the power of the card to take on some of the load of the cpu, users would surely then see alot more benifits from these cards.
I don't see why this isn't possible with enough X-RAM. Why no host apps support offloading VST plugin cache buffers and rendering threads to it? I'm probly returning my XiFi and sticking with my old Audigy 1 until either I blow it up or Creative makes a REAL upgrade with most the aforementioned features that literally COULD'VE been implemented in XiFi's current hardware.
If they do, they'll have my business and many others I'm pretty sure. Creative, if your listening and you want to like triple your sales - PLEASE get a clue and get the software end right. Microsoft or any audio host software developers, heres your (fat) chance if Creative wont do whats really their responsibility.
If ALL apps were forced to pass through ASIO as I mentioned, this could force all apps and games to use part of X-RAM as an I/O buffer no matter what specific support is. The same way a video card can offload ALL video including Windows, not just when running certain games, or even worse, certain audio apps lol that specifically support video RAM and DX performance controls! That would be the stupidest, most worthless idea and why Video Cards don't waste their hardware this way. And yet this is what XiFi currently does regarding audio. Somebody change this SOON.
This would be SO cheap and easy for Creative toss together and implement and would solve EVERYONE's problems and make ALL games at least get SMOOTH AUDIO. He!! Creative could charge $30 extra for it or just push out a new line of cards and itd still be worth it. Creative, did you read that part? More profit$$$ Like a video card upgrade, I EXPECT a night vs. day improvment but as it stands, XiFi is simply a glorified Audigy that costs more but much LESS likely to work right.
More importantly, its use of ASIO (the real deal) remains no less limited than an old Creative card from way back when. If Creative wants their soundcard to integrate with software better, learn from Nvidia/Ati and deliver the goods as they've done it all along.

Problems with Audigy 2 ZS ASIO driv

I have some problems with ASIO drivers in my Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro. I use the program Cubase SE. When I select the SB Audigy 2 ZS ASIO 24/96-driver, it works for some time but then the sound starts cracking and popping and eventually doesn?t work at all until you reselect the driver. And with the SB Audigy 2 ZS ASIO-driver I can only record in mono, even though I checked the inputs. I think the Creative ASIO-driver had the same problem. Actually the ASIO Multimedia Driver has functioned the best. What could be the problem?

Indeed, if you think it's something that might be useful to others aswell, then it would be nice to have it up here

SoundBlaster Audigy ZS Pro ASIO DRIVER Questions w/ Cubase


I am using Cubase SX 2.2 and the SoundBlaster Audigy ZS Pro. I need to gain a better understanding of the differences between the three Creative ASIO drivers that Cubase SX 2.2 recognizes. They are as follows:

Creative ASIO - [Cubase sets default sample rate at 48KHz ]</LI>
SB Audigy 2 ZS ASIO 24/96 (B800) [ Cubase sets default sample rate at 96KHz]</LI>
SB Audigy 2 ZS ASIO [Cubase sets default sample rate at 48KHz ]</LI>
I can understand that the 24/96 ASIO driver supports 24 [email]bit@96KHz]bit@96KHz[/url] recording. I am not sure what the differences are between Creative ASIO & SB Audigy 2 ZS ASIO. I have read other related post on this subject and it was stated that the Creative ASIO is the older 6 bit ASIO driver, but I noticed something interesting in relation to the input devices that Cubase SX 2.2 sees between the three are quite different, but it's opposite of what you might imagine.
Here are the details:
For Both Creative ASIO & SB Audigy 2 ZS ASIO, Cubase SX2.2 lists the following inputs:
Line in / MIC L & R, Line in 2 L & R, Line in 3 L & R, SPDIF IN L & R
and then the strange...MIX L & R, MIX FL & FR, MIX RL & RR, MIX FC, MIX LFE (?), MIX RC ( twice), MIX SL & SR
No OPTICAL?
For the SB Audigy 2 ZS ASIO 24/96, Cubase SX2.2 lists the following inputs:
Line in / MIC L & R, Line in 2 L & R, Line in 3 L & R
No SPDIF or OPTICAL?
I assume the MIX inputs are for the Dolby Digital Bus Mixers in Cubase to be able to send outputs directly to the Surround Channels?
I set the Latency all the way down to 2ms for each driver. Currently I am achieving a Input of 3.042ms & Output of 2.00ms w/ the 24/96KHz & w/ the other two I am achieving a Input of 4.083ms & Output of 2.00ms. Not sure why the difference?
I'd really like to gain an understanding or be directed to some documentation (Audigy Manuals lack in this detail) to help explain these differences and understand why the 24/96 driver wouldn't list the same inputs if it's the same card. Is this just a bug? Any updates to fix?
 Sorry for the long post, but I felt if I should this detail I may get some good insight to from yall experts out there.
ANY Help will be greatly appreciated!!

Thank you.
As it's an OEM product you have there, you probably need to modify the installer meant for original CT products. I have posted some instructions long ago so if you search here by using "ctcomp.exe" as a searching criteria you might find that thread. You also need drivers from older installer since CT made some changes to the installer so that the old ctcomp won't work with the latest driver installation. IIRC, there were a fix-up for this too available but I'm not sure where it was introduced ... was it @ DHF (link given below)?
You can download the CD as an ISO image from BadBoys site (http://badboy.filefront.com/).
IIRC, there were some other instructions for this @ Driver Heaven Forums and also you might already heard of YouPAX driver mod ... which can be found @ Driver Heaven too.

Have you checked the volume button? It might be physically stuck. To determine whether a hardware repair is needed, you need to follow these steps:
1. Try doing a hard reset:
Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
After that: test the device to see whether the issue is solved.
2. If the issue is not solved, you should backup the device and restore it as new.
In that case, use: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup.
If the issue persists after restoring as new, you should offer the device for service.
If you get specific error messages/codes in iTunes when updating/restoring, check this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694 for causes and solutions
Good luck

Audigy Platinum and 56K PCI modem confl

I have had modem connection problems so I reformatted the hard dri've and reloaded the OS to get a clean start. Now, I have a conflict with the Audigy Platinum and 56K PCI modem. The sound card works great until I dial-out on the modem - at that point there is either no sound or a high-pitched tone is heard when a sound is played. Also, if I am activly connected to the internet and play a sound, the connection will drop and the modem will refuse to reconnect with various errors (no dial tone or port already open). The only way to reset the sound card and modem is to reboot. If I disable the Audigy card under device manager, the modem works great - connects and reconnects fine. BTW, this is the third PCI modem I have tried, all by different manufactures and chipsets, so I don't think it is a modem problem.
Some system specs:XP Home SP 2Audigy Platinum with the latest production drivers availableUS Robotics 56K PCI modem model #5660AAsus A7N8X deluxe motherboard with on-board sound disabled
The Audigy card is installed in a PCI slot that is not shared, also the Audigy card is using IRQ 5 and the modem is on IRQ using COMM port 3. Everything looks fine under Device Manager (no unknown devices or devices with errors). MSINFO32 shows no device conflicts.
Has anyone seen this before? Any workarounds? Any idea why the Audigy card would conflict with the modem like this?
Thanks,Terry C.

I updated the BIOS to the latest ASUS release, 008, and it seemed to resolve the problem.

Problems: Audigy SE and DirectSo

I've got an Audigy SE and have been having some (minor) issues. I've run the Creative Diagnostics and the card is failing the DirectSound test. I went through the steps to completely remove the drivers and reinstall them fresh and once they were gone I installed the drivers from my original CD and then ran the diagnostics again. Success! All test passed. I then updated my drivers (once via the AutoUpdate and once manually) and ran the diagnostics again. Failure! The DirectSound test failed. For now I'll be reverting back to the old drivers from the CD. Is there any way to update and still have DirectSound work properly?
Help appreciated.
~Darxide

I have that problem too.
There are 2 driver versions in the download page and in the Automatic Update utility, the first (the older version: SBA_PCDRV_LB__04_006.exe) works fine but the newer one doesn't work properly with Audigy SE (SB24_VTDRV_LB__04_0077.exe).
Looks like it installs a mix of files for Audigy and SB24, and that makes the card useless.
Also, I've got the same problem as many other people, the audio quality really sucks even compared to my cheap onboard chip, the software included is a mess and gives even less options than my onboard chip's drivers. Like Karaoke, the checkmark to remove voice is not enabled but I can do it even with my old 2. onboard chip.
Games like Half-Life 2: Deathmatch crashes often with it (I guess all Source games become unstable), and the <possible> solution, the newer drivers, simply don't work.
Please Creative fix these problems, because with the actual state of things this simply don't work (I'm back with the onboard chip now).

Sound Blaster Audigy Drivers and Applications CD-Rom

Does anyone know where I can get or download?the "Sound Blaster Audigy" "Drivers and applications" CD-rom?
I have included a pic below:

jay23,
First extract the RAR file you downloaded using WinRar. During the extraction, WinRar will create an ISO file which is an image of the installation CD. If you don't want to burn that ISO file to a CD, then download and install MagicDisc from the link I gave above. MagicDisc lets you mount an ISO file as a virtual hard dri've. You should be able to install from that virtual CD just as if it were a real hard copy CD, but I've never tried that so can't say for certain.

Audigy 2 and new dri

I read through the posts but did not find an answer. I have a Falcon NW computer built in December of 2003 and it came with the Audigy 2 card. I have used Auto update before with no problems. I ran it a couple of days ago and it recognized my card and listed the new driver .84.55. I let it download the driver and extract it. But then it said I did not have a Audigy 2 card installed and aborted the install. I check the requirements of the new driver and met them all except I was not sure about the EAX 4 from 9 Nov 03. I downloaded the EAX 4.0 from 9 Nov 03 and ran it and it installed with no problems. So I manually downloaded the new driver and ran it. It again came to the install and said I did not have an Audigy 2 card. The driver is listed for both the Audigy 2 and ZS. Is this causing my problem?
Thanks in advance for any help. Ernie.

Ok, I downloaded driver EAX4DRV_AUDIGY2__84_50 from the Creative d/l page and voila! I have sound! I can hear the OS sounds, I can play CDs, and my music making software works too!
However, when I try to play a DVD there is no sound. I tried playing the DVD in several different players including Windows Media Player and PowerDVD and neither of them produce sound, so I'm assumed it was the sound card. I downloaded the DVDAO223 update from the creative d/l page but the setup never finished; it said I was missing something that it required to load, but when I checked the requirements, I seem to have all the necessary elements. *sigh*
Any ideas?
Oh, also how do I get a hold of the CDROM that goes with my card? Can I buy another copy from Creative?Message Edited by TGITI on 0-27-2005 07:44 PM

Audigy SE and Logitech X-

I had SB Li've and had no problems with it for a long time, but for some reason it died on me and I got Audigy SE and now I am having problems with my speakers, I can only hear sound from FL and one with the power button and volume on (I think its FR). It is set up as 5. in Control Panel as well Creative MediaSource. I have new drivers and also I did re-format my computer but still the same problem. When I test my speakers I can hear sound and noise from all of them. I am not sure what to do?thanks

Hi There !
I have an Audigy with a Logitech X-530?( and had the same Problem?)?. The rear and center speakers are enabled only in Dolby Surround Sound and in games Supporting Dolby sound . if u want to make the Center speaker? ,? and the rear ones enabled , u should first fully install the software provided with the card then go to the EAX Console (Right Click on the Volume Icon on the taskbar then select it ) and enable audio Effect ( That's Optional ) , then Go to the CMSS 3D tab , enable it and select Stereo Sound . i had the same problem as u mentioned , i had an onboard Sound card , then i upgraded to Audigy and the Center & rear?Speakers were not working so i thought that may be the card was not working?Correctly , but?now Everythings is working
that's what i did ! :P hope that will work for u too , Let Me Know
( u may also test ure speakers and card by downloading a "Test Speaker Dolby Sound " )

Microphone , Audigy Se and Windows 7 64bit

*Microphone , Audigy Se and Windows 7 64bit's I have wasted several hours today trying to resolve this issue upto and including trawling the internet for a solution and completely removing and reinstalling drivers from disc and updating twice. Ultimately I downloaded an update from WIndows - Absolutely nothing, nada works!
I have the Mic Jack for my headphones plugged into the blue line in port - tried and tested on my system card (which works) but I consistently get Line--in Currently Unavailablke for this port suggesting that Creative are totally out to lunch on this one.
I have right-clicked and set levels, tried setting it as default, etc, etc, etc... nothing.
Has anyone succesfully got their mic to work uunder Win 7 64bit's
- Love how it says on the box that Vista nad WIn 7 are supported,,,? guess the partially bit was omitted!
I loathe wondows on any given day of the week but my Mac is currently down so I have no choice but to use this, my wifes machine... NOthiong but lost time whereas if I were on the mac I would be using that time producti'vely, with working software too I might add!
Hope someone has a fix for this because this machine is just one reboot away from going out the frogging window!!!

'sHi,
Are you using this driver? Are you getting no sound from your microphone or is nothing being recorded?
Please go to Control Panel, Sound make sure that the Microphone option is set as default and that the mic levels are adjusted accordingly, not mute.
