Audigy 2 ZS Platnum Live drive (or whatever you call it)Probl

My problem is that the Li've dri've(Thing that goes in 5 /4" dri'vebay) is not working correctly. First of all It is not detected in the remote options and the remote does not work with it, second the microphone jack and headphone jack won't work at all, The only thing that I noticed might be ali've was the opical port which still made a red light and i
tested the sp/dif ports in/out and they both work so whats up with this? Only half of the Dri've works please help!

To summarise everything worked ok for a period of time, then, when attempting to use the headphones (which had worked prevoiusly) there was no sound. Further investigation revealed that the remote, mic 2 and aux in 2 (which also worked previously?) also did not work but a red light still shows in optical out. You have tested these using the surround mixer to select the appropriate inputs.
The red light in optical out shows you have power and connectivity to the card also they appear in the mixer ( if I understand your initial post correctly) which shows the card detects the front bay.
This is difficult to comment on as everything seems to be as it should be. Please confirm in detail that my understanding is correct.
PS. it would help if you call things by their correct names.

SB Audigy Value CMSS Successfully Enabled in Vista, if you call it CMSS

I've been trying to enable CMSS (at least hear sound from all of the 4 speakers) for a long time and finally successed but in a very strange way.
Steps written below are spesific to my system (SB Audigy Value, Onboard Realtek ALC 850) but can? work similar way on others i guess. For SB Audigy Value 6 Feb. Vista drivers are installed. U can use old XP drivers as explained in the forum too.
I've been using my onboard audio device (realtek ac97) since I can't enable cmss on SB Audigy Value, so Realtek AC97 audio drivers were installed on my system. You can download Realtek AC97 audio drivers? from [url=ftp://202.65.94.22/pc/audio/623_Vista_APO.zip">ftp://202.65.94.22/pc/audio/623_Vista_APO.zip[/url]
Download and install it (first enable the device from bios if you haven't)
After installing the drivers,
-) Open "Playback Devices/Speakers(Realtek A'97 Audio)/Properties" window and open "Enhancements" tab.
2-)There's a "Speaker Fill" effect there. U can take sound from all speakers if u enable it on Realtek AC97 device. And let's import this to our SB Audigy Value device. I say "Import" because i noticed that?"Enhancements" tab is actually a set of registry entries which points to some features from Realtek device. So,
3-) Open registry editor. Go to
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\MMDevices\Audio\Render\
Under the Render key the playback devices are listed as some numbers and letters like,
{50a7cf0-aad0-444c-a56b-ce655444d}
4-) U have to find your own device (realtek speakers) , for instance my device is represented by {50a7cf0-aad0-444c-a56b-ce655444d}.
(This is for Realtek ALC 850 model, may be different for other models?I guess)
5-) Under {50a7cf0-aad0-444c-a56b-ce655444d} key you can see "FxProperties" Key. Rightclick on it and export to a file. Save it as RealtekCMSS.reg for instance.
6-) Then find your SB Audigy Value Speakers device. (ES/LS whatever...)
Mine is {5ecbbccc-eca-446-aa2-a7390cf094f6}.
7-) Rightclick on it and select "Permissions"
Go to Advanced/Owner, and change the owner to administrators.
(Don't forget to select "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects)
8-) On "Permissions for {5ecbbccc-eca-446-aa2-a7390cf094f6}" window select "Administrators"
and select "Full Control" to allow. Then click OK.
9-)Close registry editor and open RealtekCMSS.reg in notepad.
0-) Replace {50a7cf0-aad0-444c-a56b-ce655444d}
????to {5ecbbccc-eca-446-aa2-a7390cf094f6} using replace function.
-)Save the file as SBAudigyCMSS.reg and execute it.
2-)Now go to
"Playback Devices/Speakers(SB Audigy)/Properties" and you'll see "Enhancements" tab.
3-)In "Enhancements" tab enable "Speaker Fill"
Open an mp3 and test your speakers. Other effects work too.
From now on you can disable your AC97 device from bios. But don't uninstall Realtek software.

The previous post is inaccurate:? CMSS includes many modes, which will work depending on the speaker configuration. This means that CMSS set?to ON on 5. speakers is not the same as CMSS on Headphones. The selection is done automatically, depending on your selected speaker configuration. For example CMSS on headphones uses HRTFs to produce the effect, while on multi-speaker systems it simply maps and pans the sound. From my experience, CMSS works?good on headphones, not only for games, but for music as well. It expands the soundfield, where on simple stereo and headphones you normally hear the sound inside your head. My opinion is, that CMSS sounds much better on headphones than on speaker systems.

Audigy 2 ZS plat live drive prob

Hey everyone, I've had this problem for several months now (since I first got this card and li'vedri've, actually). The deal is that when I plug my headphones + mic into the li'vedri've in front and set the Creative Surround Mixer settings to Line 2/Mic 2, it works fine for awhile. Everyone can hear me in Ventrilo, Teamspeak, on CS, or whatever... but after awhile the settings get changed in the Creative program. I'll have to alt-tab out and see that instead of it being set on Line 2/Mic 2, its changed to the Microphone input...Has anyone experienced this problem? I gave up on it with my old headphones, cause the mic went out. Now I have some Sennheiser PC-50s and I want to be able to talk in my games again! Please help me figure out what could be causing the software to change inputs on me! You would think there would be an option to "save" your settings, but I don't see one, so I'm looking for some advice on here!Thanks in advance!-Nick-

Well, I just searched the forums here and found that this is a common problem in Counter-Strike, not the Creative software. I will try the solutions the other users have tried, and hope it works. If anyone still has a helpful comment, please post!

Audigy Platnum 2 Live drive probl

Hello I purchased an Audigy platnum 2 from a friend with the li've dri've. Everything is installed, updated drivers from creative's website and I still cannot get the li'vedri've to function properly. Headphones work fine, microphone does not. Neither does firewire port. When I plug into the card on the backside of the PC everything works fine, but I really would like to get the li'vedri've up and running for the convenience. The mic sounds really weak and muffled when I try to record in Audition or soundbooth and just when it is plugged in it has the same muffled light sound. Any help would be appreciated.

Audigy 4 pro/"non pro" driver confus

do audigy 4 and audigy 4 pro drivers differ? the newest pro is only beta and a few months older than the "non pro". also, despite having bought a 4 pro, it never says so, neither in the system or when using autoupdate (installed products: Sound Blaster Audigy 4, DR release 2.5.0), auto update does not tell me to download the non pro driver though. I'd be glad if someone could tell me which driver to use

You find the latest drivers (fits for X-FI & Audigy 2 & 4 serie) from station-drivers.
These drivers are even WHQL (eg. passed MS quality test).

What is the difference between Icloud and Live Drive?

I had purchased for me seperate storage space where by i could download music/pictures to my cyper drive and my Ipad would pick it up. Is this Icloud or Live Drive?

That is livedrive. You cannot use icloud to keep your files online unless the files are generated using iworks. But, icloud is free from apple, 5 gb worth of space. Currently usage is pretty limited, cannot compare wth livedrive, dropbox or sugarsync.

I want to centralize my Itunes Media library to a Mybook Live drive.

I have bought a My Book Live drive as it said I coudl run an iTunes Server. I want to be able to have one central Itunes Media location for all my music and apps etc. So I have moved this to the My Book live. When I open Itunes I see all my music under the LIBRARY and under SHARED/MyBookLive. I don't see my apps or other items? Also if I add a new album to my music library it shows up in both on the PC I add the music from but not on any of the other PC I have in my house. So I want to have a simple solution with all mymusic and apps etc in a single place that looks the same on each of my PC's?
Any ideas

Thanks for the quick reply!
No, I simply went to Itunes, Library, Music. As you mention, I can't click and drag the folder, so I click and drag a section of songs at a time, but then they are all resorted to "by artist" instead of "by title".
All I am trying to do is create space on my internal hard drive by transferring ITunes to an external hard drive (so Time Machine is not an option). Any suggestions, or is what I am trying to do not possible?

Audigy 2 ZS & SB Live! External I/O

Hi,
On Windows XP SP2 running on MSI 875 motherboard, my Audigy 2 ZS works fine.
When I connect it's the data cable & feed power to an older SB Li've! 5. External I/O Hub, I get no response from the hub. I still get the usual service from the sound card though.
Any idea on what it takes (H/W and/or S/W) to dri've a Li've! 5. External I/O Hub from an Audigy 2 ZS (not Audigy 2 ZS Platinum)?
Thanks!

If you look at the picture you posted, there's a 4 pin white connector at the top corner of the soundcard. You will need to connect a 4 pin power supply to the card in order for it to power up the external I/O.

When apple no longer includes an optical drive how are you going to burn an itunes playlist

when apple no longer includes an optical drive how are you going to burn an itunes playlist

Well, I don't want to buy an optical drive if I buy a new Mac without one. However, iTunes will not allow "burning" a playlist to anything except a real optical drive.
Now, I am not running Mountain Lion so I don't know if iTunes for Mountain Lion allows it or not - could someone please let me know if it is possible.
For me, on Snow Leopard, I cannot find a way to burn, create, duplicate - whatever you want to call it - a playlist to a virtual drive, a USB drive - nothing but a physical drive.
It just makes me wonder if iTunes provides (will provide) an alternative when there is no physical drive included.

I don't understand the thing you call live bookmarks never used it, and most forums I have used notify VIA E-mail not giving out my E-mail address information when a reply has been made to the thread in question.

So how do I get notified of updates in this forum? As I said: I don't understand the thing you call LIVE BOOKMARKS I have never used them, and most forums I have used notify VIA E-mail not giving out my E-mail address, or other private information when a reply has been made to the thread in question, so how do I get notified of updates in this forum? I have seen no normal options for setting my viewing preferences used for this forum. Thank You.

Would rather wait and have it done correct than released to early only to have it benchmarked in audio and found to be slower in a few areas- - - the logical part of my brain is wondering what else I would have to swap out as I am sure it would run, and fine for a while, then, poof....

External Hard Drive -- What do you recommend plase

I use super duper and do not have the backup drive on except when doing a backup. I need a capacity in the 750 to 1 TB size.
When I look at Amazon or other ratings they are all over the place. One size is good and another is bad for the same manufacture.
Can anyone please recommend a make or manufacture for me to consider. I have used Maxtor for years with pretty good results.

I bought OWC's FW hard drive encloser. You can put in your own drive(s) (I bought Seagate drives from OWC) depending on whether you want a single drive backup, dual ot RAID. I bought the OWC Mercury Elite...great encloser rated top in all my Mac magazines. What's nice about these is, if the drive goes bad you can replace it yourself and not have to get rid of the whole unit (like what happened to my Western Digital FW Ext. drive last time!). OWC's enclosers have Oxford chipsets which are totally Mac friendly. They also work for Windows machines. OWC also backs up their products...no arguing involved.
