Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro/Sound card quest

Hi all,
Since the I/O box on the Platinum Pro series has no rca out connection, does anybody know if I can use the lines out on the card at the same time the I/O is plugged into it's
Thanks,
Dale

Decrip,
The lineouts on the card are functioning as long as digital output only is not enabled. So this should work.

  • Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro Sound Distortion + Full System Cr

    System Specs:
    Audigy 2ZS Platinum Pro running driver version 2.2.0002
    Pentium D 3.0 Ghz
    ASUS P5N32-SLI Deluxe Motherboard
    2 Gb PQI 667MHZ DDR 2 RAM
    XFX GeForce 7900GTX
    I am a music producer/dj and use my sound card quite extensi'vely, since upgrading to Vista I have experienced more and more sound distortion as time goes on. The distortion mainly occurs in Direct Sound applications such as mp3 players (Winamp, Windows Media Player) as well as when playing compressed avi files which also utilise mp3 compression.
    Using ASIO enabled production applications such as Fruity Loops Studio 7 does not cause as much distortion although it still occurs at some points resulting in a system freeze and a BSOD.
    When distortion occurs sound becomes as what i can only describe as "computerized" and CPU usage goes up dramatically to the point where mouse movement on the screen becomes really jumpy if playing wave data this progresses until the system freezes if however I close winamp or another app playing direct sound CPU usage drops and system becomes stable again until an mp3 or any wave data is played again.
    I have tried some of the possible solutions posted on these forums such as turning off enhancements such as CSS and changing the output quality but so far none of these have been successful.
    I have managed to get everything else working fine in Vista apart from sound. If anyone has any recommendations as to what I could do to fix this problem it would be greatly appreciated.Message Edited by euphoria_aus on 04-03-200707:5 AM

  • Audigy 2ZS Platinum Pro - breakout box not work

    I have an an external external breakoput box which was working fine in my old computer. I upgraded the mother board and cpu and installed the Audigy as before. The actual card works but the break out box doesn't light up. If I plug the external box firewire cable in to another firewire port on the computer the power LED lights but that's all. Any ideas anyone?

    I am sorry to bump this topic but it is the same as my question and does not seem to have been answered.
    I have a Audigy 2ZS Platinum Pro - my old one which I decided to use in lieu of the on-board sound. I installed the latest drivers I could find SBAX_PCDRV_LB_2_18_0017.exe (after unistalling the existing ones)
    The card itself works fine but the external interface box is as dead as a doornail. The power for the interface is supposed to come from the two connectors.
    No lights no nothing - obviously I have checked the leads and the seating of the card itself. Playback is fine on MP3, midi, wave files etc. I have disabled the on-board sound in the BIOS of course.
    Unfortunately the jacks on the back of the card are 1/8 in. outputs only and the external interface provides the inputs which I need for recording etc. They are 1/4in proper ones - guitar lead size which are much better.
    I know it is an old card but I like it. The last time I used in in my old computer it was fine. Card/drivers show up in the device manager. I have installed this both on a Win 7 partition and a Win XP partition on my 2 HDDs with the same result. :mansad:
    <font color="#0000FF">Any ideas appreciated! Is there something I am doing wrong? Thanks.

  • Audigy 2ZS Platinum Pro in Vista x64: "Skipping" (Distortion) when record

    Hi! I've just setup Vista x64 and installed the latest Drivers for my Audigy 2ZS Platinum Pro. Besides the fact that there's no software available for convenient control of the features of my soundcard (Surround Mixer, Speaker Settings, THX Console etc.), everything is fine for playback (after adjusting the bass and treble-sliders to their 0dB-Position!). But I've got a massive problem when recording audio, or when using the microphone: I can play back sound from any source without distortion, but when recording it or using the microphone for VoIP-Applications like Skype, Teamspeak or In-game communication, I get a constant "skipping" distortion like the clicking when a CD is defective and skips.
    It sounds like short disruptions which come at regular, very short intervals (approx. 0 per second or so). This effect is always present, irrespective of the load situation of the system and does not change with it. In XP32, my Audigy 2ZS still works like a charme. Furthermore, I've got a "PCI Input Device" in Device Manager with a question mark, although the Firewire-Port does work. Could this be the Gameport not beeing recognised But that's not nearly as problematic as the flaw from above... Thanks in advance for your advice!

    I'd like to also add that I have been observing this same problem for quite some time now. While I do not frequently have a need to record, that is changing now and I would rather not have to reboot to Windows XP in order to have functional recording capabilities.
    I am currently running a dual-boot configuration of Windows XP/SP2 and Windows Vista Ultimate 64-Bit/SP, with the Audigy 2 ZS Platinum soundcard, and the latest drivers available for the card as of today's date (0/7/2008).
    A clip of audio to illustrate the problem may be heard by saving and playing the MP3 file found at http://ambress.com/audigy/audio_recording_fault.mp3. The following graphic also illustrates how the sound is like a series of recorded pulses, making recording completely useless.
    I would greatly appreciate any feedback confirming this problem by Creative and what solution is available or when one is to be expected. If a solution is known by any users that perhaps I have missed in searching the forum, of course I'd be grateful for that help as well.
    Thank you,
    Daryl

  • Connecting vcr to external SB Audigy 2zs Platinum Pro

    I've just joined, so apologies if I "mess up". I have some precious things on vhs tape, and want to transfer them to cd/dvd. I run Windows XP. I have to use rca connections, don't think there's another option on the vcr. I see the red and white rca connections on the back of the external 2zs, but where does the yellow (video) connection go? Would be very grateful for help. TIA.

    Re: connecting vcr to external SB Audigy 2zs Platinum Pro~ Hi Katman - many thanks for the reply. There is no video connection on the SBA2zs that I can find either. I did send mail to Creative, but they haven't had the courtesy to respond. If I use the 2zs for the audio connection, can I then attach the video connection from the vcr to a separate video capture card? Will this bring everything together and in synch? Sorry, I'm still very much on L plates with all this. Once I get things on to the computer, I can then edit out what I don't want, and burn the rest to cd/dvd; or that's what I'm hoping!! It's getting the data from the vcr tape that's the stumbling block. I know there are?expensi've machines that you can put the vhs tape in and it will copy direct to dvd, my friend has one, but she doesn't know whether you can pause the recording (disk) and let the tape continue running till she gets to the next bit she wants to copy, then start the disk again. TIA of further help.

  • Will the external hub of an audigy 2 platinum pro ZS work with an X-fi Xtreme Mus

    Topic title says it all.
    I recently bought a new pc with a Soundblaster X-fi Xtreme Music, I love the new features of the card however I don't really want to shell out on getting a usb hub.
    With my old pc I had a Soundblaster Audigy 2 Platinum Pro ZS (phew that name is long) and it came with a very usefull external hub with midi and audio inputs, the works. I was wondering if it is possible to hook these two up?
    Thanks in advance

    No, they aren't compatible. The X-Fi card doesn't have any AD_Link connector to link up with the external I/O console you have.

  • Audigy 2ZS Platinum Pro - ...trying to record with Videostudio, Virtual VCR, Roxio DVD Builder

    ...just bought (and installed) a SoundBlaster Audigy 2ZS Platinum Pro - the one with the "breakout box" - to replace the on-board Dell audio sound system, which seems to have died after 4 months.
    I am able to get good, clear sound from any and all applications that use "playback" audio.
    At present, I can get "playback sound" from one program feature that came with my capture device - an Aver Media USB 300, which was plugged in to the "Line in 2" socket on the break out box. Then I tried to record with it... - "Record Operation Failure!" I'm stilll waiting to see what responses I get from the Aver message board in that regard.
    Then I tried recording video (and the accompanying audio) with Ulead Videostudio 8, Virtual VCR, and Roxio DVD Builder, none of which could record sound, even in "preview mode". Before the on board sound system stopped functioning, those features worked on all of the above programs except for Virtual VCR, which I hadn't yet installed or tried out.
    I've checked the Play/Record Volume Control in "Accessories/Entertainment" and the Line 2 is activated and selected. I've tried plugging in to Line /Mic but that hasn't worked either. I need to go to Radio Shack to get an adapter to plug in to Line 3 and give that a try.
    But before I spend even more money, have you ever seen anything like this?
    - Jeff.

    Jorge,
    Thanks kindly for the suggestion, during the installation it did not complain about this patch being installed allready, I'll give this one more shot and see if it persits.
    I ran memtest on the machine (10 cycles) wow this thing (G5) is loud in single user mode. I guess the fans don't have power management enabled.
    I'm guessing that the issue is from lack of RAM, (512) but I am not 100% on this. Though my research points towards that, It's kind of odd that an app would reach into some other memory segment.
    Thank You Again.
    I throught all Tiger updates would be obtainable via "Software Update" . I should have searched support.apple.com first.

  • Audigy 2 Platinum Pro remote probl

    I was looking over to my Audigy 2 Platinum Pro today and noticed that the remote light is flashing wildly, and I'm not sure why, as I haven't noticed it doing this before. The remote works if you click it, and I even removed the battery to see if the flashing would stop, but still no go. What's the deal?

    Tkzoo,
    Check your connections to the Audigy card. It may be that the cables aren't all the way in on either side. Is there anything else in the room that might be emitting a IR signal? This could cause the light to blink also.

  • Audigy 2 Platinum Pro I/O hub Line 3 damaged ?

    Hello everybody, I've been using since 2003 an Audigy 2 Platinum Pro but never had the need to use all the inputs of the I/O hub. Now i have and connected an FM Tuner to Line 3 Input. First everything ran fine but the next day i had noise and loud buzz on this input. As i thought that my OS (Win7 Ultimate) was the cause i also installed XP Pro on another partition and just the initial drivers that came with the card years ago but the same behaviour also there in a clean fresh environment without interfering with other drivers or an OS update. So now i must believe that Line 3 is damaged. I connected a VCR over RCA to Line 1 and Line 2. Everything's ok there but Line 3 has noise before connecting and noise and buzz when connecting anything. I also can hear the source but not clearly.
    Is there a way to find out if Line 3 is definitely damaged ?
    Besides that, is there any restriction in connecting devices over RCA ? I mean can under certain circumstances a damage occur ?
    Thanks very much in advance. Happy new year to everybody. Best regards from Germany.

    Seems that nobody else has had this problem yet. In the meantime i have found out that just one channel is full of noise. Even under Ubuntu i have this noise so it's definitely the hardware. Must be something damaged indeed. the point is that i would like to know how can i avoid to happen this once again. In the last 25 years i am dealing with RCA Audio i connected the devices always not powering them off before. Seems that the problem is here. It could have shortcutted something inside the I/O box.

  • Audigy 2 Platinum Pro stutters when decoding from AC3 via ffds

    hi all
    i am playing a movie with ac3 soundtrack on it.
    My Configuration:
    Audigy 2 Platinum Pro->AudioHQ->Hardwarecontrol (ger?testeuerung in German)->->Digital Input->Dolby Digital/SPDIF-In-Decoding
    ->Decoder->use installed Decoder->all settings enabled for Digital EX and DTS ES.
    ffdshow->AC3 passthrough to SPDIF and DTS passthrough to SPDIF
    I have 6. Analog Speakers connected. (Creative Set)
    Problem: Audio stutters like hell !!
    Since i also have HTPC (HomeCinema PC) configured with a external decoder, i know the file is ok, and its with all files. on my HTPC i have AC3 Passthrough (SPDIF passthrough if you like) and the decoder (Denon AVR) shows Digital In detected and decodes properly.
    Well know to my PCs configuraton where the Audigy should make the decoding. As i play the file, regardless what programm (VLC, Media Player/Classic, InterVideo WinDVD) it shows me the Dolby Digital icon in the lower right screen as i start the movie, so it realizes the Digtial Audio, but why doesnt it decode it properly??

    "problem now is, repack decodes all streams as dolby even if its mp3, and very funny, it only works with normal media player, media player classic has no audio anymore".
    repack ? I think you mean reclock. mmmh, your problem sounds like a really bad installation, which creates a complete mess in the filter graphs.
    Since I'm one who insists on bulding his architectures around generic softwares only (mediaplayer 6.4 and 0 for example), I'll advise you to first uninstall FFDShow, every codecs and parsers installed, and every players too (except the windows integrated ones ) Allways avoid all-in-one solutions if you want a super-flexible and easy to maintain system.
    When you've cleaned your system, you can install the codecs and parsers you need for each format. Be aware to configure each one to decode only its format). Avoid the codec pack which are just good to mess what should be a clean installation. Avoid AC3filter, the ac3 decoder from your installed DVD player will be sufficient if it has a good SPDIF option (powerdvd5 audio decoder for example). You might need in some case an XFormer for your ac3 streams http://inmatrix.osnn.net/ac3xform.exe . And don't forget reclock. That's all.
    "well, clearly decoding on the PC is far more complex then running it through a external decoder."
    Decoding with the PC is complete piece of cake, that's building a good PC with a good system that is not something everything can do with just instinct
    "can i control audio buffer in ffd? (id rather be in control then repack, since repack crashes after every movie...)", I don't know, I decided years ago to avoid all-in-one solutions, and on top of all, FFDShow.
    " the audigy doesnt do all the work, which is very astonishing and very disapointing..."
    What do you mean ? It uses CPU when decoding ? My ZS do not.

  • Audigy 4 platinum pro Microphone im

    Simple one here, i'm just about to buy some leads to connect my condensor mic to my external hub. I just bought a preamp, yet don't have all the leads for it to work. Will a 'balanced /4" TRS connector' fit into the 'Mic imput'/'line-in' of my Audigy 4 platinum pro soundcard? This is opposed to an 'Unbalanced /4" TS connector'. Help will be appreciated! Carry on being CREATIVE
    P3U6!SUn 3H+

    Hi there,
    I nearly freaked out when I got the platinum pro as I thought I could get no decent power in direct guitar and microphones. You said you bought a preamp, but there is a preamp switch for Line In/Mic on the front of the hub. I have been using this for boosting mic and guitar signals and it is okay but was wandering what preamp you bought and if you rate it.
    Hope I haven't upset you by telling you about the built in pre-amp as it probably isn't the best quality anyway.
    Cheers,
    Paul D.

  • Is Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 NX USB sound card compatible with Dell deskt

    Im considering buying the Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 NX USB sound card to use with a Dell desktop XPS 40, but recently read a forum message on another page that there was a issue with installing on a Dell Tower but no problems with installing on a laptop
    any help is appreciated if there are any compatibility issues with using this sound card on a Dell desktop, Thanks
    the main reason I would like to upgrade to this card is so my pc doesnt use the integrated audio which Id like better quality performance with a sound card and also dont want to install a internal card on the system

    joaolfb,
    Audigy 2 NX will need to be connected with the power adaptor inorder to run. USB will not be enough to sustain the power consumption of the sound card.

  • Audigy 2 ZS notebook sound card compatible with Lenovo X6

    I have to admit I probably made a mistake for rushing to?EBAY to get a creative Audigy 2 ZS notebook sound card, which?is intended to be used for my Lenovo X6t tablet pc. The problem is I just did some research and found my PCMCIA driver "RICOH R/RL/5C476(II)" is sitting?on their list of incompatibility.
    Do anyone have any experience on this matter? It is true it really will not work?
    Please help.

    Do you mean you can hear the sound even Audigy is not connected? --> if yes, then just disable the onboard sound (from BIOS or/and device manager).
    If you're playing some external instrument (etc.) or from some audio/media player then, it's latency question --> try w/ ASIO (you need to cahnge to the advanced mode) latency set around 0ms or decrease buffer size on playback software.

  • Help! Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE 7.1 Sound Card -

    Hello. I've just recieved my new soundcard. It is the Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE 7. Sound Card - OEM. (Located here: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...atid=&subcat=)
    My motherboard is a Asus A8N SLi se.
    Now, I have put it in my motherboard, and just tried to install the drivers. I got an error though. It said "No compatible creative product detected." So I downloaded the drivers off the Creative site, and that did not help either. I disabled the onboard sound in the BIOS, and yet it still did not work. I tried plugging in the soundcard into each of the soundcard ports on my motherboard, and none of them detected the card.
    I am sick of using onboard, and would like to get this problem fixed.
    Some additional information:
    The back audio/microphone ports on my motherboard never worked. I have been using the front sockets on my case. I see cables running from my motherboard to the front of my case. Maybe one of those cables need to go into my soundcard in order for it to work? I'm not sure which though, so I didn't try it, just incase.
    Here are some screenshots of what I'm getting. They might help.

    Unknown Device in my Device Manager: http://img409.imageshack.us/img409/9924/unknownoj8.jpg
    Now, I have no other creative parts in my computer. So this should be the soundcard, right?
    Thanks in advanced for any replies.

    Does the cable from the MB to the front I/O panel simuliar to this one? I installed a Audigy2 ZS in my other system and connected the black cable with the 0 pin connector to the card to use my front phone/mike jacks. Also in your device manager I see the Realtek AC97 still listed. When I installed the XM card in my 600 I disabled it in the BIOS so the entry does not show up in mine just the SB XF-I is displayed.

  • Audigy 4 pro sound card HELL please advise!!!

    hi all,
    right i'll TRY to keep it simple!.....
    BEFORE my (recently brand new) hard dri've died and caused me all sorts of probs (and ?300) my soundcard was fine it was :
    windows 7
    audigy 4
    cubase 4
    daniel k's drivers (i think OR it was the one that came with the card)
    with this i HAD the option of acti've X driver OR creative asio (used this as was much much better)
    SINCE it died i've tried everything for days and days of hell to get this driver on, heres the symptoms:
    using the CD that came with the audigy it takes 45 mins to load and then tells me there is NO sound card fitted (tried this 3 or 4 times)..
    i physically took t?he card out (twice) and it made no difference and still didnt recognise any card fitted.
    i've had to system restore a few times to get it 'see' ANY driver.....i've also downloaded some drivers but same symptoms as above.
    using the acti've x the latency is a prob though i have adjusted it to make it work BUT am thinking this is one of the reasons my cubase freezes / crashes / and now makes crackling noise especially when using a reverb vst.
    the whole system was great B4 this and i've lost 3 or 4 days and am now at the throwing it out of the window phase.
    BEFORE it handled superior drummer as a VST and midi / audio files + reverbs all at the same time NO problem.
    the current set up is almost identical and in fact a tickle better than B4 so WHY wont it see a sound card ?when trying a different dirver?
    HELP! Si in Brighton.

    ta...yes it does.
    works (almost) fine with the acti've X driver, apart from telling me line/mic is NOT available....spent all day (again) trying to get the 3.8 daniel K pack on there.....came back with 'somethings wrong' meessage each time.
    it just baffles me that my hard dri've
    cd rom AND now (maybe) the card all ferk up at exactly the same time!
    i recorded afterwards and it was fine for hours.....
    cheers si
