If you don't get any issues with that combination then why to disable.

Smart Recorder - Audigy 2 ZS - Win 7 - "no audio device available"

LSmart Recorder - Audigy 2 ZS - Win 7 - "no audio device available"nI've got Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and a Creative Audigy 2 ZS. They've worked fine together, but I recently tried to install the programs that come on the CD and I can't get Smart Recorder to work.
It has a message saying "There is no audio device available on the system. The application will now close."? I checked my control panel and it definitely shows a my Audigy 2.
I found an old post that suggested using the CTZAPXX.EXE on the CD, but it didn't do anything. I watched the CPU go to 50% usage, but nothing happened for minutes. (http://forums.creative.com/t5/Sound-Blaster/Speaker-settings/m-p/40229)
How can I fix this problem with Smart Recorder?
Thanks,

Is it time to upgrade to X-Fi or another brand?

AuzenWDM Pack 1.0 and "No supported audio device detected"

Hi there,
I installed the AuzenWDM pack and have the driver working properly, however when it comes to using the rest of the software in the pack none of it works, I get the same similar error of "No supported audio device" or similar. Now I know this driver pack works because thats what I used before reinstalling windows recently.
My specs are:
Win 7 64bit
AMD 4400+
4Gb DDR
A8N SLI Deluxe (nforce 4)
EDIT: It might help to tell you that i have an XFi Fatality (launch model with the front bay)
Any help with is would be appreciated?
Thanks

I noticed there was an?AuzenWDM .5 pack so I have tried that, but still the same problem none of the software will detect the audio device yet the driver installs fine.

P755 and Realtek HD Audio Manager sound effects don't work

Hi. I have a P755 and the Realtek HD Audio Manager sound effects don't work. Everything seems to be up to date, but the equalizer and environment features have never worked. I am using the Analog stereo out. The Speaker Configuration is Stereo. The only thing that seems to change the audio characteristics is switching from Headphone to Line Out.
Solved!

Audigy 2 Value and SPDIF in audio problems

I have an Audigy 2 Value card and a Sony HD6600DP Home Theater System w/ Sony DVP-NC665P dvd player. I also just received my digital I/O module(4 week back order). I have the dvd player audio out to the dvd audio in on the amp. (rca digital in). Next, optical out (the only digital out on the amp is the MD/TAPE connection) to the SPDIF IN optical on the module. Then, in Creative Audio Console I have these options enabled/checked:
Decoder- SPDIF Passthrough
SPDIF - Digital Output - 48khz, SPDIF - is turned off and set to default
Bit Accurate - On this tab, I have both options turned off presently. In the center of the box shows the current SPDIF In signal. Trying to play dvd audio disc or dvd movie shows unknown or invalid signal. Playing an audio cd through the dvd player shows the 6bit 44.khz audio(also that sound comes through).
Speakers - 5.
EAX and CMSS are turned off.
As stated earlier, I do get cd audio from the dvd player and the SPDIF connection, but no dvd audio comes throught the same connection. Also, I can get a 48khz audio signal out to the amp, but no AC-3 or other digital surround out. I guess my question is with the Audigy 2 Value, can I have a digital audio signal coming in via the SPDIF

well for giggles i took my card out and used the onboard sound to see it there was any difference.
the onboard is AC97 realtek. the shotgun and quake4 sounds were much better. all the sounds were there but of course it did not sound as rich as audigy does.
so my experiment showed that it is a driver problem. i am guessing no one else has had this problem.

Realtek HD Audio driver and Audio Manager for IdeaCentre K320

Hi,
i've tried to install the original Realtek HD Audio driver and Realtek HD Audio manager because i want to assign the input connectors of the onboard soundcard Realtek ALC888 on my own.
Everytime when i try to install the Realtek HD Audio Driver R2.55 including the Realtek Audio Manager my computer is installing the Lenovo Audio Manager again and again but within the Lenovo Audio Manager i cannot make the assignments.
Is there any way to get the Realtek Audio Manager running or is it not possible the install the manufactures software and drivers ?
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Michael

Hi:
I bet you were unpleasantly surprised by that!
The fix is simple:
Go into your system setup (BIOS) using the F10 key.
Find your device configuration menu. In that menu there should be a setting for your onboard audio. It is probably set to Auto.
Change the setting to Enabled. Hit the F10, key there and again when you save your settings and exit.
Now your onboard audio will be back and your HDMI out audio on your graphics card should work too when you need it.
What happened was when you installed the Video card with HDMI out, there is an audio chip on the video card for HDMI. The PC sensing a new sound card, just disabled the onboard sound card because it thought you didn't want to use the onboard card anymore.
Changing the BIOS setting to enabled tells the PC to use the onboard audio card as well as any others you may have installed.

Qosmio X770: 4 nVidia HD audio devices in device manager

So i have a few questions...
In my device manager i have [this (screenshot)|http://i.imgur.com/NfH5E7p.jpg].
So i have (!) 4 nvidia hd audio and 1 hd realtek audio.
I usually update my nvidia video driver and nvidia hd audio driver is updated every time with it.
But not long ago i decided to find any other updates to my drivers, cause bloody toshiba (we call it that way in Russia) is too lazy to support their laptops. And [found this:(realtek hd R2.70 codec driver )|http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=24&Level= 4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false].
Installed it, everything is working fine so far. It is for realtek alc269 (and also many other devices, but for us only alc269 matters) which is the real name of realtek hd audio device in x770 laptops (i checked in program aida64, previously known as everest).
So now i have [this (screenshot)|http://i.imgur.com/6HM5mLj.jpg]: version 6.0.1.6662 date 19.06.2012
The previous version that lazy toshiba was glad to provide us with - 6.0.1.6360 [(screenshot)|http://i.imgur.com/dUQiPA0.jpg]
So the questions are:
1. Why i have FOUR nvidia hd audio devices in device manager?
2. How can i make nvidia hd audio my primary audio device? Or maybe they are some kind of virtual devices or smth like that.
3. Do you think the idea of installing driver directly from realtek website was bad? There is a disclaimer on their site: To be sure you obtain the full features/customizations provided in your original audio product, please download the latest drivers from your system/motherboard manufacturer's website.
So i invite everyone to test this audio driver with me :)
And a few more things.
In one topic i found this info: moreover, myself and other users of this forum have overclocked their cards from 657/1300/1200 to 800/900/1600 and are very pleased with the results, so try not to overexaggerate
(it is a quote). So I will be happy if someone gives me link to some kind of manual about overclocking 560m gt from our beloved x770.
Also I found a lot of topics about nvidia drivers with angry customers. I don't remember when i first updated video drivers, but i've never had problems with them. When the situation changed? As far as i can understand in 2011 you could't install nvidia drivers directly from nvidia website.
P.S. sorry for my english, i'm from Russia. Also there is some russian on screenshots, hope it won't make your eyes bleed.

At first i want to "thank" moderator about renaming my topic. Original name was: realtek vs nvidia hd audio x770 + update r2.70 question. Where is 2.70 part in the current name? Ok.
Second. To Tonny: I'm not lame user, no need to explain me obvious things).

If there is nvidia hd audio device and it's not some kind of virtual device or controller, i want to test it like primary audio device. Simple curiosity. I love flac etc.,
So I always try to improve sound. And alc269 we have in x770 is also installed in my ANCIENT asus eee pc, so it's very depressing. Also your advice about control panel - sound is not working, i think you know why... There's only speaker device working on realtek hd audio.
> {quote:title=Tonny wrote:}{quote}
> You can use the driver from Realtek since the sound chip is from Realtek.
Yep, of course, but it's my 5th laptop and also i have 2 netbooks (i'm speaking only about portative devices, not pc). I tried to update drivers manually numerous times on my previous devices, and I learned a lesson, that if you install new driver (not from you laptop/whatever support page, but directly from device manufacter's website ) and even if you are absolutely sure that driver is compatible with you device there can be problems. For example, as i've already said realtek alc269 is installed in my qosmio x770 and in my super old asus eee pc. And driver is the same.
Also realtek driver support page has disclaimer: To be sure you obtain the full features/customizations provided in your original audio product, please download the latest drivers from your system/motherboard manufacturer's website. (already was in op-post).
So I only tried to hear from those who has already installed r2.70 realtek update or maybe tested it some way. But the moderator made it impossible renaming the topic.

Realtek HD audio manager

My previous motherboard was a Z87-Gaming GD65. I was able to have my 5.1 surround speaker system connected to the motherboard and also my headset plugged into the front panel case audio jacks and Realtek HD audio manager was able to detect them as two seperate devices.
So I was able to select via the Realtek HD audio manager which device I want to output the sound, either my headset or the speaker setup.
But my new motherboard, X99S Gaming 7 does not detect them as two seperate devices, Realtek HD audio manager sees only speakers output in the software. But the sound is always being output to the headset unless I have it unplugged which it will then output the sound to the speakers.
How do I make Realtek HD audio manager see the headset and the speaker as two seperate devices so I can select which one to output sound to via the software instead of having to unplugg the headset if I want it from the speakers?

When you plugging in the front panel jacks, Realtek HD audio manager will auto switch the audio output to your headset.
If you want you change the audio output to speaker with headset plug in, you can disable front panel jack detection in Realtek HD audio manager.

Can firefox change audio device preference without restarting?

I use my PC as a home theatre as well as for day to day usage, and have multiple audio devices.
For most usage, I route the sound through on-board audio (realtek) but for watching movies, I run it through the ATI HDMI output to the TV.
Currently, in order to watch a movie, I have to shut down Firefox, change windows prefered audio device, then restart Firefox.
Can I change the device preferences somehow within Firefox without restarting it?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Internal computer noise with firewire audio devices

Hello
I have a Power Mac G5 PPC 2.3 and Mac Os X 10.5.6, with tiger I have the same problem too, I bougnt my Mac for audio work, and from the purchase day, I have the same problem, I bought my first audio sound card, M-Audio Firewire 1814, and I installed the last drivers for my operating system, when I start Logic I must go to prefferences audio and select the device, I select coreaudio tab and M-Audio Firewire 1814, and when I click on apply changes, in the Mac start an internal noise, low level, and hign frecuency, and this sound keep while logic is open or another audio aplication with M-Audio 1814 is selected like audio device like Pro Tools M-Powered.
Aplications work fine but this noise I think is a conflict with audio device drivers, I can hear this sound too when I go Aplications/Utilities/Audio Midi Setup/ and in the audio devices tab the internal noise not is sounding but when I click on Midi devices tab, the internal noise start and is sounding while Audio Midi Setup is Open, if I quit Audio Midi Setup the noise stop.
In the Activity monitor I can read MIDI Server process is launched when I click on MIDI Tab, and if I select and close this process the noise stop.
It is only for the noise when is sounding with audio midi setup, close MIDI Server and noise stop, but when the noise is with any application (Logic or Pro Tools) in the activity monitor quit MIDI Server process but the noise keep sounding.
I have Digi 003 Rack and Pro Tools LE too, and I have the same problem when Pro Tools LE start.
If I select M-Audio 1814 in system prefferences/Audio, like audio device and open ITunes the noise is not sounding with ITunes, I can listen music whithout problems, but If I select Digi 003 Rack like Audio Device in
System Prefferences/Audio The noise is sounding with ITunes start becouse Digi Core Audio Driver is launched.
I think is a conflict between Thirty Parts Drivers and The System but I need help, what can I do to resolve this.
Thanks

Nope, someone elsewhere suggested a thing called "ground loop" occurring. Meaning, the interference from the electric current. They suggested trying it with battery power (power detached), and without. But at least for me, made no difference unfortunately.

Audio device Apowersoft went silent

Identical issue to: http://in.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20120126083013AAY0n2N
That is, there are 2 playback devices one is "Apowersoft" and other is "Conexant Smart audio HD". One day back Apowersoft was working,but now it is not. Everything seems fine (driver up to date, volume maxed, test shows bars for volume but no sound,etc.)
I disabled Apowersoft and am able to get sound, but the volume is low and periodically the sound starts making noise and I have to fiddle with the sound controls to get it normal again.
Also tried:
If you are using windows 7
click start <> in the search box type in audio
from the list click on <> Find and fix audio playback problems.
But of course it reports everythuing is fine... grrr...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Quick work arounds (that got the marginal sound) was to: Disable the Apowersoft device. A marginally better solution was to Control Pannel=>Hardware and Sound=>Mange Audio Devices
In this window right click on the Speakers (Conexant Cocoa II...) and select Set as Default Communication Device. Then right click on the device again and select Set as Default Device.
Again this marginally works as the volume is low and the noise problem periodically shows up.

USB Audio device - CPU usage spikes - w520

i've been trying to resolve this problem for weeks now and would appreciate any help .

What USB controller are you using? Not saying it will address your issue but there is a driver update for the Renesas controller (2.1.32.0). When I installed it I had to manually update the driver.
For your USB devices, are you using their latest drivers?
You may also want to review kb2529073 to check whether the kb is applicable to you.
I have played around with a USB external audio device in a dynadock (Toshiba) and no DPC issues but an issue with not being able to run 'Smart Audio' in cpl. The message is 'Failed to initialize smart audio'. So I have to use the system utilities to control the Conexant audio. Have you noticed any issues with the onboard audio tools and your external audio device?
You may also wish to check the Microsoft site for any Win 7 USB related hotfixes that may help.

Windows HD Audio Device Driver Keeps Deleting Realtek and Disabling Sound

I have a HP 655 Notebook PC with the Windows 7 64 bit OS. Until July 23 2014 everything was working fine. Them some automatic windows update installed the windows hd audio driver and disabled the realtek driver.
I tried everything. I went to device manager, unistalled the windows driver, reinstalled realtek, to no avail. Every single time windows starts it automatically installs this driver.
I disabled the update system. I changed the settings to never install driver software in device installation settings, no avail.
I tried unistalling the update, but it can't be removed.
I did system recovery to the point prior to the update and still the damned device keeps reinstalling itself, only then when I restart the computer suddenly realtek appears. But I have to restart it every single time.
Mind you, I don't care which driver i have as long as there is sound on my laptop! But the only way you get sound on a HP laptop is with a Realtek driver it seems. The Windows HD Audio driver is not working and yet there seems to be no way for me to stop windows from installing it on every boot up.
I also tried installing realtek with the windows driver still installed, but it can't be done, error 0001 appears during the installation. I have to remove the windows driver first the install realtek. But when I restart the computer, the windows driver automatically re-installs itself!!
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME
