Audigy 2 ZS and windows 7 only mapping a 2.1 speaker playback

=Audigy 2 ZS and windows 7 only mapping a 2. speaker playback? I have an Audigy 2 ZS and windows 7-64,?it seems to be?only? mapping a 2. speaker setup for audio playback?with regards to WMP, Mediasource player and other similar sources.
Under Xp and vista would have just selected surroundsound under the creative audio console, but now that option is unavailable and probably not supported under Win7.
I have a 5. set of speakers, 5. mapping?is working for sources that do support it such as games and DVDs.
My question is"is this a known problem with my card and win7 or a problem with my system setup/configuration"
For the time being, i'm having to boot into Vista whenever?I fancy listening to some music which is of course quite inconvenient.
Please someone let me know if there is a fix for this, creative mod or user, anyone.
Much appreciated,
Screwy.

It is no 7. support, only 5.
You can try to install this:

but before you do completely uninstall all Creative drivers and software from system. I recommend this method;

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.

Audigy 4 and Windows 7

Audigy 4 and Windows 7xAm I basically SOL in waiting for a working driver for the Audigy 4 on Win7 x64. I have tried both official releases from Creative and several releases from DanielK as well, and none of them fix the crackling/popping noises from this sound card. The most recent driver from Creative lessened the popping a bit, but it became quite noticeable if I kept music playing while entering a game.
I ask because I am on the fence about cutting my losses and not dealing with Creative or their products ever again, or actually waiting for a working driver.
I have read over the thread about Nvidia and SLI, and while I do have an Nvidia 8800GTS, I do not have SLI.
If anyone could provide me an answer as to if this problem is still trying to be fixed or if Creative has just abandoned the Audigy cards altogether, it would be appreciated. Thanks

I suppose fi've days of silence answers my question. I'll try a different brand next time.

Creative Audigy 2 and Windows Vista: Sound volume turns down when I try to turn it

I have a strange problem with my audio in Vista. I have a Creative Audigy 2 and Creative 6700 speakers. My full system specification is below but please note I did not have this issue in my previous Vista build - its only happening since I did a reinstall. Anyway, when I swich on the speakers using the remote control unit for the 6700 speakers the sound comes on but then it turns down. I have to then increase the volume by a large amount for it to start playing sound again and then turn it down to listening volume. This issue is not application specific - it happens in everything: Winamp, WMP, games, etc etc?I'm using [color="#000000"]Creative Sound Blaster Audigy series Vista Driver 2.2.0002 and I've tried reinstall several times. I've tried doing diagnostic startup etc using msconfig in case something was conflicting and its still happening.

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 2 and Windows Service Pack 2 Prob

Hi , well my problem is with the game Nascar 2003 season.
To start off with I have updated every possible driver I can think of.
The problem is when I hit the escape key to get out of the car it makes a screeching noise and the screen goes blue with white broken-up vertical lines ( like the mattrix). Then it goes blank and reboots.
I have tried all sorts of things, like I can put any other soundcard in and the problem goes away. I started removing programs. no help..then I removed SP2 and the problem went away.
So I decide to do a clean install of windows and went out and bought Ghost for a easy system restore
And again no problem untill SP2 is installed.
Also this is the only problem I am having and its only with this one game.
Thanks for any input.

Your problem has nothing to do with SP2. Just take a look in the forums and you will find TONS of similair problems with Audigy cards.
Before you ask Creative for anwers, I will give you a few, they will give you:
Did you install the latest drivers?
Did you try moving the Soundcard to a different PCI slot?
The problem is probably your graphics card, have you tried replacing it's
Is your PC in the vicinity of a MicroWave oven?
Have you disabled your onboard soundcard?
Have you rebooted your PC?
Have you tried the soundcard in another PC?
Are you living near a nuclear powerplant?
Is your PC running hot?
The problem is your third party speakset! Have you tried the Creative ones?

Audigy SE and Windows Vista Is

Hi:?In my computer, I have the SB Audigy SE card. I did a full install (not an upgrade) of Vista Ultimate in January. At this time, I had no issues with my sound. Everything worked as it should. Recently, and it is hard to specify when -- but it may have been around the time I downloaded and installed the "Vista" driver for the soundcard -- the sound on my computer got noticably lower - even when at 00%. Whereas, prior to this occurrence, when I put full power on my speakers and on the computer, the sound would result in 0/0. Now, when i put full power on my speakers and on the computer, the sound would be about a 4/0 (tops). I still hear all the sounds fine - no muddiness -- but it just is not loud (even at 00% volume).
Any suggestions?Thanks. Scott

Hi Scott! I hope you still check out this topic. I have Vista Ultimate as well. Believe the drivers that came with Vista, worked fine. I'm pretty sure they did. But with the driver as of July 09, 2007, my volume is very low. I, as well, have to turn my speakers and Windows volume up. I hope Creative can fix this problem, if possible. When I had XP, which I didn't use the July 09, 2007 driver. That driver is for XP and Vista, in one file. But there seems to be something wrong with it. It's mostly a case with Vista. I sure hope Creative reads this topic, or gets informed on it.

EA4500 – Smart Wi-Fi interface and Windows Network Map issues

I purchased this Router about 2 weeks ago as a phased upgrade of our Home Network, primarily to enhance media streaming. It has the latest firmware preinstalled from the factory. Prior to the purchase and installation of the EA4500 Router I replaced my old Motorola SurfBoard SB6120 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem with a Motorola SurfBoard SB6141 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem. My old Linksys E2000 Router worked perfectly with the SB6141, with the exception that the E2000 wasn’t IPv6 enabled, but does have 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet (RJ-45) and Internet ports.
The EA4500 has been installed for about 10 days and seems to have improved local network speeds and I don’t seem to be having any Internet connectivity issues. However, there are some disturbing issues with the EA4500 and the AE3000 I purchased. There are 11 devices connected through the Router; a Dell Desktop (wireless with the AE3000), a Dell Desktop (Ethernet), a Dell Laptop (wireless), 2 Canon Printers (1 Ethernet and 1 Wireless), 2 Western Digital 1TB MyBookLive Network Drives (both Ethernet), a WD TV Live Streaming Media Player (wireless), an Apple TV media player (wireless), an iPad (wireless), and an Android Smartphone (wireless).
Issue 1 – The Linksys Smart Wi-Fi interface appears to be unreliable at times!!! I’ve read about this problem here on the Community involving the EA6500, so I don’t know if this is a Linksys Server issue, as suggested in a few responses, or a bug in the Router firmware, or defective hardware. However, when the interface locks up, it can’t be accessed from a wireless or wired connection. Usually, powering down the Router and then powering it back up and restart will allow it to function again. However, at times before the interface completely locks up it shows either just a white screen or the security screen will show no firewall features enabled. This is a little scary, so I’ll do a complete reset and setup; this is becoming a pain in the rear!!!!! Is there any hope for this being fixed, in this Router, not the next generation??????????
Issue 2 - All of my network devices show up in the Router’s Device List. Except for the Apple devices they also show up, when they are online, in Windows 7 Explorer under Network and when you click on Network they are correctly displayed as Computers, Media Devices, Network Infrastructure, or Storage. However, when you click on “Open Network and Sharing Center” and then click on “See Full Map”; it fails with the response “Windows cannot create the network map. Responses from other devices on the network are delayed or there is an incompatible router on the network”; no device map is shown. When I follow the link for more information, the only thing that stands out is “A device on the network, such as a hub or switch, is not working properly or is not compatible with the Link Layer Topology Discovery (LLTD) protocol, which Windows uses to create the map. To fix this problem, disable the device, turn it off, or remove it from your network”. All of my network devices showed up on the Network Map with the old E2000. This issue is the same on all of my computers, either wired or wireless. Any known solutions for this, or is it as Windows suggests; an incompatible Router????
Thanks in advance for any insight or solutions. With the issues I’m having with the EA4500 and the AE3000; they are both probably going back to Amazon.

thebluemamba_24; Thank you for your suggestion; I finally found time yesterday to perform an extensive evaluation before I return the Router. However, rather than trying to add devices manually, my rationale was if the EA4500 can’t process them correctly, automatically, it needs to be returned anyway, so I added devices normally letting the device an Router handle the process.
In thinking through this issue, all devices on our network are detected and identified by Windows Explorer on Windows 7 computers; except of course the Apple and Android devices (Apple TV, iPad, and Smartphone). So, I wondered if one of those three devices being added to the Router’s device list was somehow causing issues or interfering with Windows 7’s ability to generate a Network Map. Therefore, my approach was to turn off or disable all devices on our network, reset the Router to factory defaults, reestablish the Router to my custom Home Network configuration using a Windows 7 PC that has LAN and Wireless access to the Router, then add one device at a time and check with each addition to see if Windows 7 could still generate a Network Map.
With the Router reset and reestablishment complete; I began the process of adding one device at a time and checking to see if a Network Map was being generated. What I discovered was when a recent addition to the network, a Western Digital WD TV Live Streaming Media Player, was connected (wirelessly), Windows 7 could no longer generate the Network Map and the failure was consistent. The only way to get the Network Map to work again was to remove power from the WD TV Live, although it remained in the EA4500’s Device List; simply turning it off didn’t help. Since I’d originally witnessed the Windows 7 Network Map working with the Linksys E2000 Router that the EA4500 replaced, I decided to test the WD TV Live with that Router. It worked initially, but it failed consistently after the first success. Interestingly, the failure indication was a little different, but nevertheless generation of the Network Map failed.
I’ve tried changing a few settings on the EA4500 as well as the WD TV Live, but nothing helped. There was a recent firmware update to the WD TV Live, so I might try rolling back the firmware to see if it makes a difference.
The Network Map issue might very well be an issue with the WD TV Live, not the Router, but after reading many threads on this Community I have reservations that the problems I’m experiencing with the Smart interface lockup will be fixed. I suspect new emerging replacement products will be the focus and these older products will be abandoned and no more firmware fixes will be forthcoming and I don’t want to spend more money for a new product just to fix old problems and get something that works properly. The Network Map issue is troublesome, but the lockup of the Router’s “Linksys Smart Wi-Fi” interface is a serious matter to me. It appears that once it locks up, the only way to correct it is a power off restart; not practical if you’re traveling and trying to access settings remotely; the selling point for this feature.
Given the problems I’m experiencing with the EA4500 and AE3000, I guess I’ll return them. Too bad, because otherwise the EA4500 seems like it’s a good Router. I’ve been brand loyal since the Linksys WRT54G came out, but after reading this Community and with my personal experience with the EA4500 and AE3000, now I’ll probably give the NETGEAR N900 equivalents a try.

Dell Audigy 2 and Windows SP3 driver and static problems

SB0243
Ok, Creative you and Dell have left us customer behind and giving us the shaft.
I know you tell us to go to Dell to get drivers, and Dell still has the same driver posted they had when i bought my PC in 2003.
Funny thing is that the only driver i find that work without the static problem is the one from the creative CD from 2003. The only catch is that none of the other sound Apps will install or work with windows SP3. So you end up with a card that has sound without static but only in two speaker mode, no mixer, EAX, CSMM, sound bank, etc... you know all the other stuff.
I have installed Danial K driver at one time and they worked good for months then the static came back one day. Now after a fresh install of windows with SP3 i end up here with only the old driver working with just two speakers.
This is very sad that a big company like creative can not create a driver that works with current software. You need to fire all your programmer and go hire two with all the money you paid everyone else and maybe then these two top programmer might be able to make something that works. This has become a joke in the sound industry.
It was said that this ship is sinking, i think it has sunk at this point, us rats are jumping ship to some other card that works. Most likey it is not going to be from creative.

And yes I have 4gb Ram, why should this make a difference. and i have tried it with 2gb. No joy!!
Please help creative and shed any light on this issue . If i RMA my card will gjust get a new or refurbished Audigy4?
cheers guys and sorry for any grammer lapses,

Audigy SB and Windows 2003 Ser

I just installed Windows 2003 Server on my PC and the Soundblaster Audigy (Model SB0090) is not recognized by the OS. I can not locate drivers for Windows 2003 on Creative's website. Do these drivers exist or can I use other drivers?

Thanks a lot, but it doesnt work to, i downloaded and install SB P7X Series Support Pack .6, front speakers doesnt go, and when i installed it, there was some errors (look at images) ?<img border="0" width="494" src="http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/53/errorjvi.jpg" height="94"><img border="0" width="506" src="http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/607/error2b.jpg" height="96">

Audigy SE and Windows 2000

under windows 2000, so I download the driver and the other fluff from the Creative site,?or so I thought, the driver never installed, I downloaded the package again same result., What is up? I have bought many creative products in the past, never any problems, until now. My SB000 in now reinstalled in my system awaiting results of this message, it still works, gets funky on line in record, the record level goes up all by itself and trashes my recordings (this is why I bought the Audigy) but it plays great!.
Ryan?

Which driver are you using at the moment for the Audigy SE (name and driver version)?
Can the Windows 2000 Professional detects that there's a new hardware installed and ask you to install the drivers?
And what kind of motherboard (with onboard sound?) are you using (brand and model)?
For the time being try the following:
- disable the onboard sound on the motherboard via the bios menu (if you hasn't disabled it yet or if you indeed have an onboard sound);
- try the soundcard in other pci slots the one you are now using;?
- try the Audigy SE in an other computer if it's possible (a friend with a computer can help you out.
Good luck!?

Audigy 4 and Windows Vi

I'm using the March 2007 drivers on Vista Home Premium 32bit. I have 'What you hear'.But as soon as you select it as default (recording) everything becomes badly statically that you input from mic or games.So currently I have microphone set to default in recording so people can hear me and it doesn't rip their ear drums out on ventrilo :smileytongue: Should I be using this driver or another This one looks to be the most current. Thanks

I have the same Audigy 4, only difference is I am running Vista 64 and using the X-Fi drivers,
Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
If you want to give them a try just download the latest X-Fi driver, extract the downloaded exe with Winrar, open the extracted folder and locate the Drivers folder and then run the Setup found there.
BTW not sure about Ventrilo, but I do know that if you have What You Hear enabled with Teamspeak no one can hear you, but they can all hear themselves through your connection.

Audigy 4 and Windows

Hi,
I got a problem concerning the Audigy 4 on a windows XP Pro SP2 machine. When I have installed the drivers all works fine but when I use an application wich uses EAX oir hardware acceleration it all works. But when I restart my computer all of a sudden my Audio Consol is all beat up. I still can use the Surround Mixer but I can't use eax or anything else anymore.
What is the problem and why do I get this?
The application I meant is World of Warcraft. It uses hardware accelerated sound woth EAX support.
Thanks in advanced,
DJ Danno

install the support pack and now the sound? works strangely apart from GAMES. they chop and distort!!
no end to madness !!!! im gonna have to try all these support packs or is they any way to stop the distortion?

Audigy Ex and Windows XP

Ok, the drivers exist already. But the aplications like Playcenter and the remote control do they work on winxp64 or do we need new ones

Increase your ram voltage to somewhere between 2.65 and 2.8.
You can test it with Memtest86
