Audigy 2 ZS in Windows 7 RC1

Hi everyone, has anyone managed to get an Audigy2ZS working in the release candidate? Which drivers?
I've tried a few for the W7 beta, but I always get a "hardware not found" error message, saying there's no compatible hardware on the system.
Any ideas?

x64. Your operating system again installed or already any audio drivers stood? In the latter case I use this instruction for complete cleaning up of system. And a sound card simply Audigy 2 ZS or with a prefix "Gamer, Notebook, Platinum, Platinum Pro, Video Editor"? Probably that in this case the package from Daniel will not approach. Though a difference should not be...

WIndows Vista RC1 (No Drivers)

Well, hey there.
I've just installed Windows Vista RC1 (March 2009). It's pretty recent.
I went ahead and installed my Boot Camp drivers, but lo and behold nothing installed. I figured it was a botched installation, formatted that partition, and started again.
So, I have tried once again and I am having all kinds of problems. For some reason I can't change the brightness of my monitor or keyboard (both are max all the time) and much of my hardware is not recognized. (By 'much' I mean 'all'. I manually installed a wireless driver.)
Vista installs smoothly, I go about installing the BootCamp drivers and the installation window itself says it's installing each component, but the device manager isn't changing at all. Everything remains "Generic" & "Unrecognized".
I just want Vista to play some games so I can blow off some steam & to do some 3ds Max stuff for college.
Why is this simple process of installation so difficult?
This Apple business is becoming very stressful very quickly.
What I want is some regular old drivers for my stuff to work, there's nothing unique about the hardware so why is it so awkward and frustrating & difficult to get drivers? At best, can someone maybe tell me what kinds of hardware would be in the late 2008 MacBook Pro & how do I get my brightness adjustments to work?
And also, why don't Apple just have individual drivers for download: Nearly every other manufacturer & vendor does (Dell, HP, Sony, Lenovo, Acer, etc.. They use third party hardware and drivers too).

I don't have a MacBook series, and in the folder "Apple" are drivers for various devices.
Try to install directly. If not try using Device Manager to update.
And try running system file checker just for good measure
*sfc /scannow*
and follow that up with hardware check of your boot partition (schedule chkdsk).
Whether you can install Nvidia drivers manually or not, that would help.
And DO create system restore points and backups.

Audigy 2 Value with Windows Vista 32-

I have a situation where I have the beta driver working for my Audigy 2 Value but Windows does not give me a choice to select a 7. setup. It only allows a mono and 2 channel setup. With the Creative program that came with the driver I was able to select 4., but that leaves 3 of my speakers in my 7. setup useless! Is there any program I can use to configure 7. with Vista, just like how Media Source had?

The DAV-BC50 appears to have only stereo analog input ( pair of L/R RCA jacks). You need a cable with a stereo miniplug on one end and 2 RCA jacks on the other. The soundcard should be set to 2-speaker mode. The DAV-BC50 does not have any way accept discrete multichannel from the soundcard nor to accept encoded AC3/DTS from the soundcard. You can use Dolby Prologic II to get all your speakers going, but you should not use processing when playing DirectSound3D games because it will dilute the intended 3D soundfield produced from 2 speakers.

Installing Windows 7 RC1 with Boot Camp AND Parallels?

I have a 24" iMac (2009 model) and have successfully installing Windows 7 RC1 using Boot Camp. No problems at all and everything is working fine. But now I'm contemplating purchasing Parallels and using Windows 7 in a window.
I just need to know the steps involved and how this works. First I purchase and install Parallels. Then I run it and somehow tell it to use my Boot Camp partition for the VM, right? In this way, I'm assuming I don't actually have to install Windows 7 again or make another partition, right? Once I get the VM installed, then I can either boot to Windows 7 from startup OR boot from within Mac OS using Parallels and it would be the same?
If I can do it this way, can anyone point me to step-by-step instructions on how to choose the right settings in Parallels? I have found instructions for installing Windows 7 using Boot Camp and Parallels separately, but not how to use the Boot Camp install for the VM in Parallels.

Wow, it was much easier than I thought it would be! Downloaded the trial of Parallels. Installed it and pointed it to my Boot Camp partition with Windows 7 installed on it. And minutes later, I'm up and running with Windows 7 in Parallels. Sound didn't work at first, but after I did a Windows Update, it installed the correct driver and now everything is working great. I can't believe how smooth this thing runs within Leopard. I allocated 1GB of RAM for WIndows 7 and it's seems fine so far, but I really haven't run any resource-intensive apps yet.

Audigy 5 Rx and windows 7 64

I have just purchased the Audigy 5 Rx and windows 7 64 will not install this sound card , I can find in the device manager the Multimedia Audio controller card but when I try to install the drivers windows returns an error in installing them is there a trick or something I am missing , I have tried since Dec 30 with no luck even took the card out and put it back in , I am using a PCIe slot

Look on your CD for a "drivers" folder and then the WDM. You can browse to this in device manager and manually install your drivers by finding your AUDIGY 5, double clicking, then choose update driver, and then browse my computer for driver software. After installing, reboot. Retest the card. I have done this several times over the years when "setup.exe" on the CD wont work.

TC and Windows 7 RC1

Just wondering if anyone has tried connecting to their Time Capsule (dual band) using Windows 7 RC1. I am having issues connecting. Any help would be great. Since it is only a RC neither Microsoft nor Apple has been able to help me.

I don't have the dual-band TC, but I do have the dual-band AirPort Extreme Base Station and I'm not having any issues connecting my PC that is running Windows 7 RC1 (x64). I also can connect to it with my MacBook with the same Windows 7 OS running under Parallels.

Audigy 2 Value and Windows 7 64bit driver don't work

my first Audigy SE before Audigy 2 Value (SB0400) worked perfect on Windows 7 64bit
with Audigy 2 Value SB0400 i tried 3 drivers , including the beta from the creative support , original and daniel_k driver and after reboot the windows hangs at LOGO and stays there.

Re: SB Audigy 2 ZS and Windows 7 - Full Package driver?T While Creative has written new drivers and some applications for Windows 7/Vista for the Audigy, they have not re-written or updated all of the original applications on the CD. This card is very old now. What Daniel K. did was take all of the applications or most of them, and tweaked them to properly install and include themselves in the registry on operating systems other than Windows XP. For the full and most recent package, check here:
http://forums.creative.com/t5/Sound-...009/td-p/53838
If the application you want is not included in his package, then you can try downloading the official Creative version and install it on your system in "compatibility mode" by right clicking the file, and choosing properties, and then the compatibility tab and choosing "Windows XP service pack 2 or 3" and it may or may not function.

Windows 7 RC1 not recognising my fatal1ty headset microphone

greetings,
I have got a problem, I recently switched to windows 7 RC1 and now I cannot get the mic to work.
My soundhardware:
x-fi titanium soundcard
fatal1ty gaming headset (not the USB one)
sound output works normal, windows even recognises that my line-in is active BUT I am getting no input from my microphone at all.
Anyone know what this could be? (I am running the newest beta drivers for my soundcard btw)
thanks in advance

Hi Vanilla,
sorry to see that no one has replied to your problem.... I have the same issue here.
I used to have Vista 64bit installed on my Desktop with a Vista that is supposed to be onl;y used for my Dell Laptop......Windows has noticed this and will not let me do updates anymore to my Desktop
So I reinstalled Windows 7 64bit that I had installed a while ago and now I have no mic to use on Teamspeak. My headset (Sennheiser PC350) worked with Vista 64bit. I am just doimng the Auto update from Creative and have also downloaded the beta drivers from Creative for Windows 7. If I have any luck getting my Mic working I will let you know. I would appreciate if you could do the same to me if you get yours working.
Good luck to both of us.....
Cheers

SB Audigy 2 NX on Windows 7, speakers + headphone problem

Hi All, I plugged my USB SB Audigy 2NX into a Windows 7 x64 laptop. I have 2.1 Stereo speakers plugged in to the SB 'FRONT' Jack. And sometimes plug a stereo headset into the 'SIDE /PHONES' jack.
This works fine on my XP system. And when I plugged in the headphones, the sound will just play on the headphones
THE PROBLEM IS, on the Win 7 laptop, when I plug the headphones into the Audigy 'SIDE /PHONES' jack, the sound still plays thru BOTH the speakers AND the headphones. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?
USB Sound Blaster Audigy 2 NX
Installed Driver: the Creative Sound Blaster Audio Driver .0.0099 (Feb 200), no errors detected on the install.
Creative Labs I-Trigue 3330 2.1 Speakers

Ok, thanks. Is the PCMCIA Audigy 2?ZS able to decode from external sources? Or is there a way for the laptop (via software) to decode, effecti'vely only using the NX as a hub to connect to the speakers?Message Edited by Alonso4 on 03-27-200704:54 AM

Audigy 2, spdif dropouts windows 7x64

%Audigy 2, spdif dropouts windows 7x64B hello, i have this problem with dropouts in windows 7, every few seconds the sound pops, there's no problem when listening to a stereo signal through the spdif, only with the dts/ac3 passthrough.
i have searched far and wide for a solution for this problem but it seems fruitless.
i saw a thread regarding this error in vista from last year with no solution found...
does anyone else have this problem nowadays? is there a work around or should i just wait for newer drivers?
now my real question is this, is there a creative soundcard that works as intended in windows 7?
i'm thinking of upgrading but i see many similar threads about the x-fi series, i don't want to spend alot of money and come home with the same problem....
thanks /Bj?rn

) this stuff is bananas
i actually stumbled upon a solution!
i put the ac3codec to wave output, speakers as default output in win7 devices.
now if i just start a movie, the dropouts start clicking, most likely clock-error (jitter)
BUT!
if i start a mp3 in winamp before the movie that locks my reciever to 96khz stereo, and then start the movie wich shifts it to ac3 movie mode, there's no jitter...
as i said. bananas.

Windows 7 RC1 installs as "Not Genuine"

I have successfully installed Windows 7 RC1 on my MacBook Pro. When I start Windows, I get a dialogue box advising me to "Activate Windows Now". However, it won't allow me to Activate - says that my pre-release version of Windows has expired. Windows also shows a static message in the lower right of the desktop which says:
Build 7100
This copy of Windows is not genuine.
I am using a legal, ligitimate copy of Windows 7 RC1, downloaded from the MicroSoft Windows 7 RC1 website. Windows Update works fine and the Windows OS appears to be working apart from some weirdness with the trackpad and a few other (so far) minor issues.
Is this normal for a Windows 7 installation? If not, what is causing it?

I've been seeing that lately. But when I click on ACTIVATE it takes just fine.
One time I installed on one mobo and moved the drive and had to re-activate. Another time, used the 64-bit key but it was 32-bit version - but activation still took.
Because the download period was extended, my guess is there is a misconfiguration on the part of Microsoft activation servers and coding errors.

Audigy 2zs Gamer and Windows Vista / Windows 7

.Audigy 2zs Gamer and Windows Vista / Windows 7? Hello, I am just wondering if it is a known issue to have really loud static and crackling when playing games using this card in Vista or Windows 7. I had this issue playing Bioshock a few months back on my Vista boot. I never figured out a way to resolve it so I belei've I just eventually uninstalled the driver and used the card without a driver install (not sure but I think this what I did). It worked but I might as well of just ran onboard sound...
Now I have installed and tried to run Windows 7 on a dual boot but I started receiving really loud cracking and popping in Warhammer Online and realized I had not installed a driver for my sound card. I did not expect creative to have a Win 7 driver yet but thought perhaps the Vista driver would work in compatibility mode, it does and sounds awesome and really makes me remember what I am missing without my driver installed on Vista but unfortunatly it randomly starts the crackling and popping again after a while...especially when a lot start happening on screen (pvp raids with many characters on screen and magic effects).
When the crackling starts happening I have no choice but to exit the game and restart the computer to get rid of the noise, but randomly it comes back after a while during gameplay. So as a temporary solution I have installed my onboard sound drivers and have been using that for sound output and my mic port on my sound card for my microphone. I would REALLY love to get my sound issues worked out in both Vista and Win 7 because it sounds SOOO awesome while it's working, the popping though is terrible, I never had that issue in XP.
I know this is an older card but any help would be appreciated!?

One thing you do need to learn is that SHOUTING IS MUCH HARDER TO READ!
But, if you are using Audition 1 and it works with XP, then if you have the chance, I'd stick to that on a new machine. Apart from anything else, it's completely untried with Windows7 and with Vista its a) likely to have problems, and b) going to run slower.
The other part of your question about the 'look' of later versions is that 1.5 looks pretty similar to 1.0, but with 2.0 and 3.0 things have changed somewhat - rather more with Multitrack View than Edit View. Basic operating principle remains the same, though - most people have had very little trouble transferring from one to another.

Driver for Audigy Advanced MB for windows 2

Hi,
Will really appreciate if some can provide me a link to download a driver for Audigy Advanced MB for windows 2000
I am novice in computers.
I had purchased a dell M330 system that came with pre-installed drivers loaded and windows vista.
With the system I got a CD.On the CD it is printed as Sound Blaster..... Audigy...Advanced MB.
I changed my OS to Windows 2000 server, now the problem is there is no sound. I tried to use the CD that came with the system, however, the message informs me that I need to install a sound driver. I don't know which sound card I have; but looking at CD I assumed to be Audigy Advanced MB integrated sound card.
I could not find the driver on the your creative website.
Can someone help me.
Thanks

Can someone pls help. Thanks
