Audigy 2 ZS no 5.1 sound in Pacific Assault at all.

Hi, wonder anyone can help? I have audigy 2 ZS installed in my computer - P4 2.8gig, 2gig RAM, 70 gig SATA, Radeon 9800 XT Pro with 256 mb. I recently installed 5. speaker system. They are calibrated using soundblaster's software. But when I select any of the three SB EAX in Medal of Honour - Pacific Assault, no sound effect at all, just music. As soon as I select the other, there is sound. Any idea? Your help is greatly appreciated.

MOH-PA doesn't support surround sound , I e-mailed there customer support, apaprently it was suppsoed to have eax but I guess not

It really depends on what you're doing and your speaker configuration.
If it is cheap in comparison to other price checking, it may be worth it.
I have the exats same board and used the onboard sound for a few months until I got sick of it not doing what I was used to like the MCP-T southbridge of the NF1 & 1 (Soundstorm) I wasn't using digital out and I have the speakers in my signature. With my TV card, I was unable to get sound in all 4 speakers correctly and I was unable to control the bass. I had tried both the drivers from the CD and the latest Realtek drivers.
I just did not like it much at all so I had a SB live 5.1 card I had lying on a shelf. I downloaded the latest drivers with the same skepticism as TireSmoke has. My findings are that the drivers have greatly improved and you don't have to install the bloated utilities that are associated with Creative drivers. It worked the way I wanted it to for the most part without any issue.
What I found is the onboard sound seems a little deeper and warmer as opposed to the Creative solution but I was willing to give that up for the functionality. The Creative sounds a little stronger in the midrange and highs and the Bass was just slightly muted but still acceptable.
I then graduated to the Audigy 2 ZS in my signature and the sound is slightly better and I have to say that Creative is doing a better job with the drivers. I did install with all the options just to see what impact it all has. I have to say, my only complaint is the look and feel of the interfaces still look a little cheesy but I have the option to disable most of that or simply not install any of it except the drivers.

I have a iPhone 4S and when watching videos on the internet sound cuts out as the video is playing. The rest of the video plays with no sound. Sometimes when I pause It and play again sound comes back but not all the time. can anyone help?

I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.

Some progess I see. To be honest, i would not waste your time with trying to connect using wireless.
You are likely to get poor connections and dropping out.
If its working using a cable, then there is no need to bother with giving me the network settings, bu see how it goes, because sometimes giving the TV a static IP address can give better results.
There is an example of a couple of powerline adapters on the diagram below. Just ignore the network switch unless you want to connect other devices which are near to the TV.

Hey Hype.Beast.187,
Here are some troubleshooting steps for not being able to hear sound through your iPhone speakers. I'd pay special attention to steps 8, 9, and 10 in your situation:
Resolution
Verify that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack, including headsets, headphones, or adapters.
Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is not switched to silent.
While on the Home screen, adjust the volume buttons. If you see the icon below, indicating that headphones are attached, there may be debris or an object lodged in the headset jack:
Check the headset jack. If there is an object lodged in the headset jack that is not easily removed, have the iPhone serviced to remove object.
For Original iPhone: If there is light debris, such as lint, in the headset jack, try connecting a pair of headphones to the headset jack and then remove the headphones. Repeat this several times to remove the debris.
If you have installed a protective film on the display, either ensure that the receiver is not covered or remove the film completely.
Check the receiver mesh (which is on the top front of the device, above the display). If it appears blocked, use a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush to carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If you have paired with a Bluetooth headset that is nearby, either use the headset or turn Bluetooth off (choose Settings > General > Bluetooth).
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting the iPhone doesn't resolve the issue, try restoring the device.
If the issue persists, go to the Service Answer Center - iPhone for information on service.
iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers

Audigy 2 NX Directional (backward) Game Sound Prob

Hello.
I recently bought one of the last few Audigy 2 NX's and I like it EXCEPT...
I play a lot of online games (first person shooters) - Counter Strike specifically...
and pretty much until a player is about 5 feet behind me, i cannot hear a thing ... let me elaborate
i can throw a grenade at a pretty average length, then spin around so the nade explodes in a path that is DIRECTLY behind me, and i will not hear it ... though, if i through the same nade the same direction and length, but i am FACING the explosion, the direction and sound is fine - i hear it loud and clear
if i am turned around and someone rushes DIRECTLY in a path behind me, i will not hear ANY footsteps until they are about 8 feet behind me in game, then i start hearing them
obviously this isnt right!!! i obviously cant have 3 / 4 directions in game work fine, but behind me i cant hear anything... does anyone have any opinions about this? ever heard anything about this? what's going on! i have tried and experimented with a lot of different settings in the creative settings
i have tried eax on and off, speaker settings on headphones, 2 speakers, 4, 5., and 7., ... i dont know what else to try
i just bought it a few days ago so i know the drivers are updated ... right?
someone help a MAN IN NEED!
thanks
Jeremy

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

SB Audigy 2 ZS Platinum "colors" the sound of music when played back. How to change th

I recently purchased a Line 6 POD X3 for recording guitar tracks, and when connected using USB it can function as my computer's sound device. Now here is what I observed:
In all cases described below, the "reference" case is that of the guitar played through the POD X3 with headphones connected directly to the POD (no computer sound device involved).
) When I record guitar tracks using either the POD X3 or the SB Audigy 2 as the computer's recording device, and then play the recorded tracks back using the POD as the computer's playback device (headphones plugged into the POD), the sound is exactly the same as the reference case.
2) When I record guitar tracks using either the POD X3 or the SB Audigy 2 as the computer's recording device, and then play the recorded tracks back using the SB Audigy 2 as the computer's playback device (headphones plugged into the SB Audigy 2), the sound is MUCH different than the reference case.
To put it simply, the Sound Blaster card is "coloring" the tone of the recorded guitar (regardless of recording device) during playback. I realize that the Sound Blaster drivers are probably designed to "enhance" sound for gaming and such, but the way it shapes the sound of recorded music during playback is extremely undesireable for home recording projects.
Here is another clue that leads me to believe that the Sound Blaster drivers are responsible for this tone shaping: If I am playing my guitar through the SB Audigy 2 and monitoring the sound through computer speakers or headphones (hooked up to the SB Audigy, of course) WHILE Windows is booting up, I can hear a very distinct change in the sound when the SB Audigy 2 drivers are loaded. It seems to me that when Windows is booting up, the Audigy 2 card allows transparent playthrough before the drivers are loaded, but the drivers then take over and shape the sound.
So, if you've understood my observations, my question is how can I avoid any sort of tone shaping during playback by the SB Audigy 2 drivers? I want completely transparent playback such that what I hear during playback is exactly what it sounds like going in, i.e. the reference case described above.

Just for kicks, I decided to install this card on a Dell that I happen to have around.. the specs are above and beyond the configuration of my regular computer (whose specs are above and beyond the specs listed for the Audigy 2 ZS Platinum).. and I am unhappy to report that the same freezing problems occur. I am still unable to use any web update features for ANY of my software, and I am still unable to record in 24 bit audio.

SB Audigy 2 ZS Platinum - no headphone sound from the front pan

Hi all,
I had replaced my old broken Asus Mobo with the same type. After all hardware was reconnected to the new mobo I have noticed the front pannel headphone output doesnt work.
I have connected the card and the panel with the proper cable, the pannel seems to be powered OK. I even connected the card and the panel with the internal firewire cable.
The only difference is I have this time installed the drivers from the Creative website, whilst I used the bundled CD with previous installation.
Would that prevent me from hearing the sound from the headphones?
Will appreciate your suggestions,
Greg

Hey Ridenthatide,
?
I have the same problem as you. My system is MSI 865 PE motherboard and XP Pro SP3 with Audigy 2 ZS. I have reinstalled my system numerous times before and never had any problem, until this time....
?
- Format HD, install win XP, install SP3. Install Audigy 2 ZS driver and application from CD. Sound works.
- Install card's latest driver downloaded from Creative. NO SOUND!
- Device Manager shows everything ok. But control panel -> 'sound and audio devices property' has the device volume bar grayed out. Looks like system doesn?t recognize the card somehow.
- Install the latest application (organizer and other stuff), to no avail.
?
I tried to move the card to a different slot. After bootup, windows recognized new hardware installed, and started installing driver (I chose 'let windows auto search'). And sound came back. But if I re-install the latest driver again, the sound will go away.
?
I don't think moving card to a different PCI slot is an legitimate way of solving the problem, and problem still exists after the move. This has been really frustrating.

Audigy 2ZS How to output same sound quality on rear and fro

Hello,
i am having following problem: I have the audigy 2 zs and a teufel concept e 5. surround system.
i use bpm studio to mix music. in this program i can assign the two players/turntables to the different output channel, so i am able to have seperate channels for output with only one soundcard (left player front output, right player rear output.
the thing is, that to me it seems that the sound quality is different between front and rear. this also occurs when i output something with winamp, it sounds different in the front and in the rear. how is it possbile to achieve the same quality output with the same frequencies and the same volume level on both front and rear. i hope that the question is understandable.
thanks in advance,
mirza hujdur

I've experienced this before. I have read about it somewhere, but I can't remember the exact details and now I forgot where I saw it :angry:. I think that it is the amps in your speaker system and it has something to do with the front amps needing to be more robust than the rear. So the rear speakers sound slightly clearer. Is that what you are experiencing? You can check whether it is the soundcard by swapping the front/rear channels around. If it is the speakers, the difference in quality will remain unchanged.

Audigy 4 EAX Control Panel - ORIGINAL SOUND ALWAYS HEARD NO MATTER W

I'm using an Audigy 4. On XP, would?use EAX to normalize the wave output signal when participating in an online meeting. I would add a Normalizer and then turn down the original sound. On Vista, the original sound is ALWAYS heard even if I set it to -infinity?the Master Tab and also Wave setting of the source tab. The normalizer MIGHT be working, but I can't tell because the original sound is still heard, and so it doesn't not seem that the normalize is doing anything.
This seems like a driver bug. Is there ANY way to make the Original Sound silent so that only the signal passed through the Normalizer is heard? This worked fine in XP, but not Vista. Again, I'm using an Audigy 4. Thanks,?J.Message Edited by JReality on 05-29-20070:2 AM

Sound blaster audigy 2 zs...NO SOUND! he

My Mobo=D875PBZ
perryjp20, After about 25 hours of troubleshooting, finally got my system up 'n running again, including the Soundcard. After a lot of wrong guesses for a "quick fix," simulated re-building the PC from the ground up:
Flashed back to an earlier BIOS (P27, mid-2004). Took out the ATI and Audigy soundcard, disconnected all dri'ves. Booted & shutdown. Added ATI card and monitor, then one 300 gig HD and DVD dri've, then formatted HD via installation of XP Pro, installed original Intel chipset drivers, and XP Pro SR and and set-up 2d partion on HD, installed ATI drivers (originals out of the box), then added Audigy card and its drivers (originals out of the box), then plugged in formatted 2d HD (250 gig). In the process now of adding the rest of my software and games. Shutdown and re-booted at each phase and monitored temps and voltage through BIOS at each phase to attempt to detect any problem with power supply or overheating -- saw no problems.
Will update ATI drivers soon, but reluctant to re-install Win XP Pro SR2.
Don't know what caused the failure of first the soundcard then the system "lost" the ATI card, then HD was corrupted. I was using the Firewire port of the Audigy card (connected to Canopus ADVC) when the sound started cracking/cutting-in-and-out and then went out altogether and the entire system went belly-up. Perhaps that Firewire port is bad? Other leading suspects: BIOS (which I had updated a couple of months ago) or perhaps the system had a worm or virus that Trend Micro did not pick up.

Audigy 2 ZS Platinum CS:Source Sound probl

My PC specs:

CMSS and EAX are enabled.
In game CS:source, doing the sound test room, this is what I get:cs settings: (all windows and SB settings at headphones)Headphones- l/r channels very quiet,2 speakers- same4 speakers- fl/fr normal, lr/rr quiet5. - fl/fr/c normal, lr/rr quiet7. - nothingBasically I dont hear noises that I expect to hear, Footsteps, weapon pick-ups, etc., Loud noises such as Gunfire or in game chat sounds okTo the front I can hear some, but not discern direction like what I have heard on other setupsTo the rear they are inaudibleI have hooked the headphones up to each jack and get what I expect as far as the jack (front, center, rear) and the front panel doesnt seem to change anything.
I also have a set of old Cambrige Soundworks 4. speakers which, when plugged in sound normal, but I havent really tested rear output.
My understanding is that, when set to headphones, all sounds should be sent to L or R channels, am I right or wrong? Would getting some splitters from somwhere and running all 3 jacks into solve my problem?
I kinda feel the problem lies somewhere between the game interface and the SB drivers, but Im not having luck with this problem on any Valve boards.

I am brand new to this message system but I am so desperate for help I thought I would try it. After reading lots of comments I find that my problem may be more the rule than the exception. I have an Audigy @ Platinum card and all I ever get from it is crackling and popping. I have been around and around with Creative support but nothing they tell me results in a fix. I am so disgusted at this point that I am ready to just trash the whole thing. I have gone through the BIOS and checked so many settings its a shame. Still crackling and popping. I NEED SPECIFIC ANSWERS FROM SOMEBODY...not just the generic flip the wingle wangle to port xyz and move this to that. here has got to be an answer to this maddening problem. The other thing is that now I can't get my MIDI keyboard to play back. I must have turned something off in the set up process but now I have no idea what to do.
If anyone has any solid answers for me PLEASE come forward with them before I kill someone!
