Audigy 2 ZS on Vista .. no 5.1 sound i can't choose speak

Hi folks,
the headline says everything.
I got the newest Vista 32 bit drivers installed and still i can't choose any speakers in the creative audio console. The dropdown-list is completely empty.
I can only hear stereo sound. When i choose 5. in the *windows* audio menu, only the subwoofer and the left and right speaker works. Not the center and not the rear speakers.
Am i doing anything wrong or does the beta Audigy2 ZS driver simply doesn't support 5. sound?
Greetings,
Frank

thanks for the quick reply...
i tried everything, but it's not working.
I've re-installed the drivers a dozen times, but still
i can't choose any speaker setup in the creative audio console.
Also, in Windows, when i test the 5. speakers, i only
hear sounds from the front speakers, not the rear speakers and the center. When I connect the rear speakers to the position of the front speakers, only the rear speakers are acti've, so the cable setup is correct and the rear speakers are intact.
this is driving me crazy. Maybe because it's not a vista clean install? I updated it from XP...
Anyone else the speaker-choosing problem?

Audigy 2 ZS - I have 5.1 speakers but I can only choose 4/4.1 or

Hi,I have an Audigy 2 ZS and 5. speakers but I can only choose 4/4. or 7. in the speaker setup.My speakers are Cambridge Soundworks DTT3500 connected with digital out (it is correctly connected). It worked in the beginning, I could choose 5. never had problems, but I just discovered my speaker setup has changed (maybe an update I installed or something else I dont know), I dont know when. How can I fix the speaker setup so I can choose 5.
Thanks, Tom

Audigy SE & Windows Vista Home Premium - No sound after sl

Hi Everyone,
I installed an audigy se card in my media center since the onboard audio wasn't supported in Vista anymore. Sound (at least 2.) seems to be all good until I put the machine to sleep while in Media Center. When I wake up the machine, there is no audio in media center, regardless of how much I fiddle with the volume/mute buttons. The only way I can restore audio is if I quit media center and reopen it (for a media center pc, this is sort of a pain).
Has anyone encountered this and what was the solution? Thanks in advance!
Here are my machine specs:
- 2.54 GHz P4
- ASUS P4PE-BP
- GB RAM
- Windows Vista Home Premium
- ATI Radeon 9800 Pro
- ATI TV Wonder Elite
- Audigy SE (with latest vista drivers)

I have exactly the same problem, with exactly the same solution (quit and restart Media Center).
Does anyone have any ideas? I have looked at BIOS options as well as power options, driver and audio in Vista.
I find it odd that restarting Media Center fixes the problem. The audio card must have awoke from sleep sucessfully? No reboot or anything else is needed.
Athlon 64 3000+
ASUS A8V-VM SE
GB DDR 3200
Radeon x550
Audigy SE
Netgear WG3T
Kworld dual tuner 30 PCIe
Only similarity is Media Center and Audigy SE!?!
Latest drivers for everthing.

Audigy 2 ZS on Vista

I built a new PC and kept my older Audigy 2 ZS to use in my new build. I installed and it worked just fine. About a month ago i noticed the tone was wrong. I looked at the bass and treble sliders and they were set right but the tone was still wrong. I adjusted them and it suddenly?sounded right?. Everytime i reboot now i have to go into the sound settings and move the sliders around to get the tone where i want it. The sliders remain where i set them but the tone resets to default. Very annoying?Anyone else have this issue. It worked fine for the first few months after i installed it and i cant remember if i changed anything. I uninstalled drivers and reinstalled and does not work. Computer specs:Intel C2D 6600EVGA 680i MoboEVGA 8800 GTS 640Crucial Ballistix (2) x GB DDR2 800Antec TPT 650(2) x 250GB WD HD in Raid 0etc....

Audigy 2 zs on Vista, no Creative Volume Cont

Hello,?Installing my audigy 2zs using the vista drivers goes without a hitch, except for the fact there is no Creative Volume Control. Which means I can't adjust bass, trebly, bass boost and similar features which I feel are a requirement for me to be using under xp. I tried to install using the original cd I got from audigy, and the volume contrl installs, but all the optional adjustments are grayed out, and the main volume control doesn't do anything. Can anyone help me with this?Cheers,?Matt?(www.highertier.co.uk)

Audigy 2 ZS and Vista quest

Has creative released drivers that support the audigy 2 zs for vista yet, ie working EAX in games without alchemy? The new way they set up their driver notes on the download page makes it difficult to decipher since they batch both vista and xp together now.
And if they haven't, is there any soundblaster card that I could buy that is fully supported in Vista?
This is the only reason I have not upgraded to Vista. Any response would be wonderful!

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;

[issue] Audigy 4 pro in vista 64-b

Hey guys I was hoping someone might help me with this crap... I got my Audigy 4 Pro running on my new rig running vista ultimate 64-bit (used to have the card on a WinXP 32-bit computer), I got the sound working fine, the decoder is running fine, watched some movies on the bigscreen, but then I realized that I had a severe reduction in FPS when playing 3D games like World of WarCraft! im used to framerates ATLEAST above 50, and now I saw framerates hit 0! I thought wtf, maybe windows don't like running with two soundcards at teh same time, but apparently (after turning off and uninstalling realtek onboard stuff) it was still running slowly with the audigy 4 pro alone... well... I turned the realtek on again and removed the audigy from the computer and WUPS, everything is back to normal im running on +70 FPS again... Whats up with Audigy 4 Pro in Vista I can see alot of ppl are having problems with their soundcards in Vista, but it sure as hell shouldnt be our problem I payed (roughly) 300 Euro's for my Audigy 4 Pro, so the **bleep** thing better WORK! Is there a solution out there for this problem, i'd really appreciate it!
sincerely yours,

There is no 'earlier' version that supports XP. iCloud launched with Vista/7 support only.

Using windows vista with two users and I can only open books with adobe digital editions on one account?

using windows vista with two users and I can only open books with adobe digital edition

You must authorize the second computer with the same Adobe ID.
There are sometimes issues with this registration: if you have them ....
Sometimes ADE gets its registration/activation confused and in a semi-authorized state.
Uninstalling and reinstalling does not help.
Unfortunately, it often then gives misleading error messages about what is wrong.
A common incorrect message informs you that the ID is already in use on another computer and cannot be reused.
This can often be resolved by completely removing any authorization using ctrl-shift-D to the Library screen on ADE (cmd-shift-D if on Mac).
Restart ADE, and then reauthorize with your (old) Adobe ID.

ICloud says there is server error when I try sign in on Windows Vista x32 service pack 2. Can't set it up on my PC any ideas?

iCloud says "you can't sing in because of a server error" running Windows Vista x32 service pack 2. Can't set it up on my PC any ideas?

I have used the solution below to fix mine and others that have run into this issue.
Start --> Programs --> Accessories (Right Click on Command Prompt) --> Run as Administrator
then type in: "Netsh winsock reset" (-without the quotes-)
Hit enter, restart PC, iCloud For PC should now connect without any server errors
(This solutions will work in some instances when trying to fix errors associated when you are unable to connect to iTunes also.)

Creative Audigy 2 ZS platinum Vista Supp

Guys
i've a Audigy 2 ZS platinum
I bought a New Windows Vista Ultimate 32BIT
I try installing the drivers from the Driver CD its not supporting
I downloaded the vista drivers from web
and its the most lousiest driver pack i ever saw in my life
Is there any way to enable the full audio console(like THX,EAX,Graphic EQ and speaker settings) for Vista?
Why creative is not up to date with the market...
why no Vista support is available for creative.. weird...
any brilliant ideas from anywhere?

Exactly how I feel. It borders on the absurd that 5 months after Vista release Nvidia has nothing but garbage drivers and applications for Audigy2.

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 4 Pro Windows Vista RCA jack Input 3 not work

Audigy 4 Pro on vista!

So I only recently decided it was about time to fit my Audigy 4 Pro into my pc when I got my new case. I've had the card something like 3 years or so now. But since installing it I've had some troubles on it with Vista. I had installed on my new pc once previously with Vista and the software bundled with it worked fine that time, but alas the case was too small for the audigy and my new Gfx card to fit so I removed it until I got my new case a few weeks ago. Upon fitting it this time when I installed the software it wouldn't work, it gave me errors and could not find the card. It would close down all the applications... so I go and get the vista drivers and I don't have any of the cool apps that came with it on XP. My question is can I get these apps to work on vista so I can get my THX and Dolby panels back

Anyone?
