Audigy 4 ASIO driver inquiry

Hi,
After reading thru several posts in different forums, I still have one question:
What (the heck) is the purpose of the "SB Audigy 4 24/96" ASIO driver mode? I can't record anything when I select that, in Logic 5 for Windows. With the normal driver "SB Audigy 4 ASIO", it's fine. The card has a good sound, and nice software, but this doesn't work... I also find that more often than not, the reply to these types of messages is something like "get another soundcard". Well, no thanks! The non-pro Audigy 4 is actually the single most expensive piece of hardware inside my PC (except the processor maybe?).
What's more, the on-line documentation states that the card has ASIO2 support for 24-bit/96kHz recording, the feature that I want to use, but how?

I don't know about Logic,but i had that issue with cubase sx and my audigy 2zs (i guess they are similar cards). When i choose Asio 24/96 it mutes the Line-in in creative mixer, so there is no sound incoming to cubase.
Solution for me:
- open cubase and select asio 24/96;
- with cubase still opened go to creative mixer and unmute Line-in (check also if you have Analog Mix as the recording source);
- set the Line-in level in creative mixer to the amount i want (usually 0db);
- then return to cubase and activate Analog Mix in the "Vst input" menu;
- add an audio track, arm it to record, check the input source (it must be Analog Mix), activate monitoring and hit record.
Now i'm recording with asio 24/96 and monitoring all the effects i want in that track.
Note: When you choose asio 24/96 your card inputs will be reduced. With my audigy 2zs i'll have only 3 input sources and the only one that's used to record with asio 24/96 is Analog Mix (Line in).
Hope this will help you.

Problems with Audigy 2 ZS ASIO driv

I have some problems with ASIO drivers in my Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro. I use the program Cubase SE. When I select the SB Audigy 2 ZS ASIO 24/96-driver, it works for some time but then the sound starts cracking and popping and eventually doesn?t work at all until you reselect the driver. And with the SB Audigy 2 ZS ASIO-driver I can only record in mono, even though I checked the inputs. I think the Creative ASIO-driver had the same problem. Actually the ASIO Multimedia Driver has functioned the best. What could be the problem?

Indeed, if you think it's something that might be useful to others aswell, then it would be nice to have it up here

Cakewalk Guitar Tracks Pro 3 doesn't list my Audigy 2's ASIO driv

Hey, guys!? Not sure what happened with my ASIO drivers listed from my soundcard, but they are no longer listed in Cakewalk Guitar Tracks Pro 3. I'd like to use them. I can use the WDM drivers instead, but when I want to use my other recording program (Sonoma Wireworks RiffWorks), it REQUIRES Asio drivers so I'm stuck. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Wes

ASIOCaps just lists I/O vhannels/format, current buffer size in samples, driver status and supported samplerates for your selected ASIO driver. If you see those Creative ASIO and SB Audigy ASIO [xxxx] drivers listed there then you have all needed drivers installed properly ... also, it's possible to adjust driver latency from there by pressing the Control Panel... button.
If you don't see those two drivers listed there then you need to reinstall Creative drivers or use Asio4All.
Which O/S you have there (w2k, xp, vista)?
Try to search those files mentioned in my previous reply and if you can't find both then reinstall drivers.
BTW, also, are you sure the Audigy card is enabled on software (if you have a headset plugged or onboard sound enabled, you maybe get it'sdrivers listed instead of Audigys). Many software uses system default audio device ... when you plug say headset it maybe gets the system default audio device status .... and if you have onboard audio enabled then just switch the Audiy back as default audio device (mmsys.cpl)

SB audigy LS ASIO driver prob

Does SB audigy LS have ASIO driver, if yes, how can I configure to appear in CUBASE SX 3?

If it uses the same drivers w/ Li've! 24-bit then no ASIO support (look from CT support downloads) --> you need to use Asio4All instead.

SoundBlaster Audigy ZS Pro ASIO DRIVER Questions w/ Cubase


I am using Cubase SX 2.2 and the SoundBlaster Audigy ZS Pro. I need to gain a better understanding of the differences between the three Creative ASIO drivers that Cubase SX 2.2 recognizes. They are as follows:

Creative ASIO - [Cubase sets default sample rate at 48KHz ]</LI>
SB Audigy 2 ZS ASIO 24/96 (B800) [ Cubase sets default sample rate at 96KHz]</LI>
SB Audigy 2 ZS ASIO [Cubase sets default sample rate at 48KHz ]</LI>
I can understand that the 24/96 ASIO driver supports 24 [email]bit@96KHz]bit@96KHz[/url] recording. I am not sure what the differences are between Creative ASIO & SB Audigy 2 ZS ASIO. I have read other related post on this subject and it was stated that the Creative ASIO is the older 6 bit ASIO driver, but I noticed something interesting in relation to the input devices that Cubase SX 2.2 sees between the three are quite different, but it's opposite of what you might imagine.
Here are the details:
For Both Creative ASIO & SB Audigy 2 ZS ASIO, Cubase SX2.2 lists the following inputs:
Line in / MIC L & R, Line in 2 L & R, Line in 3 L & R, SPDIF IN L & R
and then the strange...MIX L & R, MIX FL & FR, MIX RL & RR, MIX FC, MIX LFE (?), MIX RC ( twice), MIX SL & SR
No OPTICAL?
For the SB Audigy 2 ZS ASIO 24/96, Cubase SX2.2 lists the following inputs:
Line in / MIC L & R, Line in 2 L & R, Line in 3 L & R
No SPDIF or OPTICAL?
I assume the MIX inputs are for the Dolby Digital Bus Mixers in Cubase to be able to send outputs directly to the Surround Channels?
I set the Latency all the way down to 2ms for each driver. Currently I am achieving a Input of 3.042ms & Output of 2.00ms w/ the 24/96KHz & w/ the other two I am achieving a Input of 4.083ms & Output of 2.00ms. Not sure why the difference?
I'd really like to gain an understanding or be directed to some documentation (Audigy Manuals lack in this detail) to help explain these differences and understand why the 24/96 driver wouldn't list the same inputs if it's the same card. Is this just a bug? Any updates to fix?
 Sorry for the long post, but I felt if I should this detail I may get some good insight to from yall experts out there.
ANY Help will be greatly appreciated!!

Thank you.
As it's an OEM product you have there, you probably need to modify the installer meant for original CT products. I have posted some instructions long ago so if you search here by using "ctcomp.exe" as a searching criteria you might find that thread. You also need drivers from older installer since CT made some changes to the installer so that the old ctcomp won't work with the latest driver installation. IIRC, there were a fix-up for this too available but I'm not sure where it was introduced ... was it @ DHF (link given below)?
You can download the CD as an ISO image from BadBoys site (http://badboy.filefront.com/).
IIRC, there were some other instructions for this @ Driver Heaven Forums and also you might already heard of YouPAX driver mod ... which can be found @ Driver Heaven too.

FYI, Audigy & ASIO - ASIO I/Os Explained

FYI, this is based on Audigy 2 Platinum eX but functionality is ~same w/ other models too:
Creative wrote:
Asio Inputs
At 16 bit 48KHz, Sound Blaster Audigy 2’s ASIO driver also supports 12 simultaneous sample-synchronous, low-latency ASIO audio inputs that are sample-synchronised to the ASIO outputs listed above. Again, there are more sources available than merely the physical inputs of the system, and these are mapped as follows:
(Note that in 24 bit 96KHz mode the inputs are limited to the analog input pairs.)
• ASIO inputs 1 and 2 come from the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 eX Drive Line In 2 stereo input;
!! My NOTE: AnalogMix(Line-In/Aux-In/analog CDAudio/PC (W-U-H)/TAD/...)
• ASIO inputs 3 and 4 (Mix Pre EQ) This records a simple downmix of all audio coming out of the sound card, without EAX effects, regardless of what speaker mode you are in. (This isn’t a physical input);
!! My NOTE: (this functions as "What U Hear")
• ASIO inputs 5 and 6 are "Mix (Post EQ Front L/R)", and this, too, isn’t a physical input. Using compatible software, this allows the signal to be fed via the onboard Creative DSP Spatializer and main EQ, making it possible to record a "virtual" 6.1 mix for playback over a two-channel headphone or loudspeaker system. What happens is that the DSP Spatializer processes the individual surround components in a way that recreates the illusion of 6.1 surround-sound from a two-speaker system. Very neat! What’s more, you can hear the effect when replayed over any two-speaker system or headphones, and so, if you use this effect on one of your own tracks, anyone can play it back using regular stereo playback equipment. Note, however, that, if you’re in 6.1 speaker mode and record this output, no signal will be output from the rear, centre or subwoofer channels. What you hear will be the virtual surround-sound coming from a single stereo output. If you want to hear these elements separately, choose "Mix (Pre EQ)";
• ASIO inputs 7 and 8 are "Mix (Post EQ Rear L/R) ;
• ASIO inputs 9 and 10 are "Mix (Post EQ Centre/Sub)" ;
• ASIO inputs 11 and 12 are "Mix (Post EQ Rear Centre L/R)" ;
these virtual inputs allow tracks output to the onboard Creative DSP Spatializer and main FX and EQ, to be recorded to separate tracks to allow you to add a virtualised surround feel to your stereo mix.
• ASIO inputs 13 and 14 come from the S/PDIF input on the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 card. This input includes automatic sample-rate conversion, enabling any consumer digital source to be used. (Sound Blaster Audigy 2 always clocks from its own internal sampling clock);
• ASIO inputs 15 and 16 come from the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 eX Drive Line In 1/Mic In stereo input;
• ASIO inputs 17 and 18 come from the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 eX Drive Line In 3 stereo input;
(note that the order and naming conventions of the Asio I/O is subject to change)
Asio Outputs
At 16-bit 48KHz, the ASIO driver supports up to 14 simultaneous, sample-synchronous, low-latency ASIO audio outputs, which, as you may have noticed, is more than the number of physical outputs. This is because the ASIO driver can access a number of internal points (virtual inputs and outputs) within the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 hardware environment, as well as the physical inputs and outputs. One function of these virtual outputs is to allow several different signal sources to be routed and/or mixed via Sound Blaster Audigy 2’s internal effects.
Physically, the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum eX Card has the following outputs which are all located at the rear of the card:
Analog
• Front left and right (rear of the card);
• Real left and right (rear of the card);
• Front Centre, Rear Centre and LFE (sub) (rear of the card);
Digital
• S/PDIF out - Optical and Coaxial (front and rear of the Creative Audigy 2 eX Drive respectively)
ASIO can route to all of these physical outputs directly, as long as the host software supports this facility.
The ASIO outputs are identified as follows:
• Asio outputs 1 and 2 (Wave/MP3) go via the stereo upmix path, internal to the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 card. Depending on the speaker mode and the CMSS (Creative Multi-Speaker Surround) settings, they may also be output to the rear and centre speaker physical outputs. For example, if CMSS is active and the card is set to 6.1mode, the audio is processed to make it sound more natural and some of the signal is routed to the centre speaker. Furthermore, EAX CONTROL may be used to add effects to the "WAV/MP3" path, in which case whatever effects are assigned there will affect the signals being output;
• ASIO outputs 3 and 4 (front left/right) feed the left and right output sockets at the rear of the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum eX card directly. These are the outputs that would be used for most desktop recording work, where the desired final product is mostly a conventional stereo mix;
• ASIO outputs 5 and 6 (rear left/right) feed the left and right surround outputs on the rear of the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum eX card directly (when the card is set to 4/5 or 6.1 speaker mode), although these can simply be utilised as an additional stereo pair by software that can access them. They don’t have to be used for surround purposes
• ASIO outputs 7 and 8 (centre/LFE) feed the centre and subwoofer outputs on the rear of the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum eX card directly (when the card is set to 5.1 speaker mode), although these too can simply be utilised as an additional stereo pair by software that can access them and also don’t have to be used for surround purposes;
• ASIO outputs 9 and 10 (rear centre) feed the Rear centre output on the rear of the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum eX card directly (when the card is set to 5/6.1 speaker mode), although this too can simply be utilised as an additional mono output by software that can access it and also doesn’t have to be used for surround purposes. As Asio outputs are seen as pairs the single mono output which is part of the Centre/Sub/Rear Center triple jack output must be addressed as a stereo pair. Simply pan hard Left when mixing. You will need to arm yourself with a three pole minijack to 3 RCA mono outs cable to make best use of this output.
• ASIO outputs 11 and 12 (FX Slot 1/2) allow you to send a specific channel from your VST mixer directly to one of the Audigy 2’s EAX hardware effects. 4 effects can be added to the EAX Control panel, and this buss accesses the first two as mono sends. Use your track’s Effects Send Destinations to select “FX Slot 1/2 Left” for Effect 1 (Reverb) and “FX Slot 1/2 Right” for Effect 2 (Chorus). Set the send level in Pre Fader mode to allow you to control the send level independent of the channel’s dry volume. Then use the EAX Control panel to select the required Reverb preset, tweak as desired and then configure the Effect levels under the “Source” tab, with Source set to “WAVE/MP3”. You can then create a new track in Cubasis VST CE with the input set to Post EQ which will allow you to monitor the return signal from the Effect and also record it to that track. This new “wet” effected track can be played back alongside your original dry track.
• ASIO outputs 13 and 14 (FX Slot 3/4) use the same principle as with Slot 1/2 except that the effects in Slots 3 and 4 are user selectable. A step by step guide of how to use these busses is given below.
Note that when you select “SB Audigy Asio 24/96” for 24 bit 96 Recording, you will only have access to the 4 Asio pairs which correspond to the analog ouputs on the rear of the card. This, however, is perfect for 6.1 output.
Above, and a lot more valuable information can be found in online help file called "Music Creation Guide" which can be found @
- installation path; C:\Program Files\Creative\_your_card_model_\Music Creation Guide\
- path on original installation CD; \Audio\Setup\GuideBk\ (select language)
You normally need to use (w/ std Audigy 2 Zs):
AnalogMix L/R for the Line-In, (Aux-In, analog CDAudio, PC (WUH), TAD)
Mix L/R functions as "What U Hear")
S/PDIF In L/R for digital input (use bit-accurate setting w/ this input method)
Mic In L/R for microphone

As I said before, this surely is a ASIO host related problem. All available analogue inputs refer to a certain physical input of your soundcard. Here is what to do:
. Open the "VST Connections" menu and enable the analogue inputs that are related to your Mic In.
2. Enable as many analogue outputs as you want (enabling "Front L/R" is mandatory).
3. Create a new Audio Track and set its input to your corresponding Mic In port.
4. Enable/arm this track for recording.
5. Check (enable/disable) the Direct Monitoring status of this audio track.
I believe that it has to do with some audio inputs and direct monitoring on/off ststus, so this procedure should be a solution to your problem.

HelP! Mission Impossible? Locate & Remove ASIO Driv

Z97 Gaming 9 AC - How ASIO driver work?

Hi everyone.
Some week ago, i wrote about the 'not working' ASIO driver.
This was because some driver issue, fixed with the latest driver release.
So now, ASIO device is detected from software like Ableton or Foobar.
Fine.
Now the main question is: how it work?
When i select the ASIO device, there's no audio output incoming from my speakers.
The fact that i read 'USB ASIO etcetc...' information, let me think a bit.
Is it possible that the ASIO device on this mobo, work only through USB port??
There's someone here that can give some explanation about it?
Thanks.

Quote from: JLio01 on 26-September-14, 20:43:21
I confused..Which port do you connect to your ASIO device??
I do not connect anything to my pc.
I just connect my monitor speakers to my jack audio port; then, software like Ableton, or Foobar, can 'use' the alternative driver ( the ASIO ) to take advantage from it.
ASIO drivers must 'replace' ( or add ) the standard audio device ( the Hig definition Audio stock driver ).
So, i intend it to work like a 'second' audio card ( normally ASIO product are managed as a 'stand alone' output device ).
ASIO are specific driver that enhance audio routing.
Quote
1. check the "i58.tinypic.com/mvnpmf.jpg", right click on playback section and check "show disabled devices", and see if you can find your device and set it as the default device
ok i'll try it when i'll back home again, but i think i did it and there are no other 'phisical device over there.
Quote
2. make sure you've downloaded the ASIO support 2.1.2 on foobar website (sor I noly have foobar to check), and put the file under foorbar2000/component fiolder, open foobar and check this for me:
file => preferences => playback => output
Do you see "ASIO virtual devices", select and press Add new, and check if there's anything called ASIO Output? or ASIO Multimedia Driver?
yes i did it and it work ( if i'm not wrong ). i'll try it also again.
Quote
BTW can you show me what else can you select inside Ableton?
sure.
i'll do.
Quote
Alright...check these for me would be helpful. And we'll see what's next.

Perhaps Asio4All or USB-ASIO (LX not said to be supported) driver is needed to be installed to get a sort of ASIO support for that USB device.

Asio Driver issue in Premiere Pro CC conflicting with all other media players on PC

Whenever I have Premiere or audition or After effects opened---- should I want to play a media clip on J River Media center, or Windows Media Player, the Asio driver is locked by the Adobe products, so the other media players do not have access to it. This may be a new windows 8.1 phenomenon, as i never had this before with 64 bit Windows 7.
I have had some success running the other media players on the lousey windows sound drivers, but they don't sound nearly as good as the Asio driver does, with its near zero latency.
My sound card is a Lynx aes 16, and the Win 8.1 PC pushes the digital audio out to my Berkely DAC , then to separate mono bloc amps, into Magnepan speakers as the reference audio system for my music and video editing....or for entertainment listening :-)
Does anyone have a solution that will force the Adobe CC software to release the Asio driver when I try to use J River Media center, or some other media player?

I had this problem this evening 090813 after upgrading my Adobe Cloud Desktop.
I open Pro CC and had the Dolby Audio Decode Licensing Restriction for (File name.......... ) Error
Previous CC progs loaded and worked with problem.
I uninstalled Pro CC - Restarted the computer - Re-installed Pro CC.
Now working with no problem.
Hope this helps.

Can't load ASIO driver / device could not be opened error in Audition CC but not Audition CS6

I have a M-Audio Fast Track Ultra USB 2.0 that I use for audio. I installed Audition CC and it wont let me use the ASIO driver for it. I get the device could not be opened error. On the same system I have Audition CS6 which works with the ASIO driver fine. Also have Vegas, Premiere, etc - all on the same machine and no problems with the M-Audio driver. I can load the Blackmagic ASIO driver but don't use that for audio mixing. Changing Use Machine Specific Device Defaults and Force Hardware to Sample Rate does nothing. Running Windows 7 64 bit.

M-Audio 64-bit driver is apparently troublesome, but the 32-bit one works fine - which explains why CS6 works and CC doesn't. As far as I can find out, you aren't the only person with this problem - have a look at this Reaper forum thread - you may get some useful information from it (no promises!)

It is a fresh install of CS3 onto OSX 10.6.2 What files is Premiere looking at when its trying to load the ASIO driver? Any help would be appreciated. At this point making the standard user administrators is not an option.

Audigy 2 driv

i just reformatted my hard dri've and i lost the disk that came with sound card that has the drivers for it and this freaking website wont give me the drivers only updates that require the drivers already. so where the heck am i supposed to get the drivers from?

i took my sound card out to see exactly what it is, model number SB0090 (with no M or G at the end)
when i search the site by model number there is no SB0090, theres an SB0090M and SB0090G, both are some type of Audigy 2, but every time i download an audigy 2 driver, when i try to install it, it says"Setup could not detect any Sound Blaster Audigy 2/Sound Blaster Audigy on your system.
Please ensure that your Sound Blaster hardware is properly installed before running this Setup program.
Setup will now exit."
and dont tell me that "its not in all the way" or anything like that i've taken it out and put it back in many times, i've tried it on 3 different slots on my mother board it keeps saying this and every time i turn on my computer it says windows detected new hardware so i know that it's being detected by windows so wtf is the problem? in the device manager its there under "Other Devices" as "Multimedia Audio Controller"
when i do a search for drivers it comes up with nothing and when when i try to install any driver it doesnt work.

Z97 Gaming 9 AC: ASIO driver not working

Hi.
I bout this mobo some days ago.
I like it but i'm facing some 'difficulty' to make ASIO driver working.
Honestly seems that not work at all.
My Ableton Live program, do not detect the ASIO driver installed ( lookg the image below )
i62.tinypic.com/2itptdv.jpg
I already installed ( on W8.1 x64 ) all the driver, including Cmedia and realtek ( latest available on the MSI site ).
Someone have some suggestion?
I bought this mobo cause i won't buy a dedicated audio board ( for now ), but if i can't make this work i'll ask a refund and back to asus plus a dedicated audio sound card.
Thanks

Quote from: Nichrome on 30-August-14, 03:13:41
I've noticed you have Quadro GPU. Can you try removing this and trying looking for ASIO driver once more?
a vga that do not allow to an audio driver to work properly?
funny, but i can try for sure.
Quote
By an accident I've found this: http://www.asio4all.com/ Personally I would give this a try.
nope.
i bought this mobo because it support ASIO natively. i do not want to use a 'workaround'.
i could keep my previous mobo then, instead buy this one...and spend money for use asio4all...
Quote
You should have installed all drivers from MSI's website, if they are, then there should be no problem with anything.
this is what it supposed to be, but it's not...unfortunately.
if you read my previous post, everything was installed correctly; ASIO don't work.
Quote
Xear Audio Center is for some USB Audio adapter, which I guess you use?
if it's just for USB adio device ( like for example an external audio eg. MOTU audio express ) maybe i don't need it then. by the way, the xear audio center, do not start when i click on it.
i think it's strange, maybe? or i need to connect an external audio soundcard before launch it?
there's nothing mentioned inside the manual, by the way.
Quote
I never used ASIO, but don't you have to change default audio settings in control panel? And together with OS, was it actually fresh installed?
i already checked all parameter inside realtek environment, but i didn't found nothing that can be set BEFORE to enable ASIO driver.
Quote
As far as I know, ASIO is from dedicated sound cards, but never had one so I have no clue what's that about (sorry for my ignorance).
it's not your fault. MSI just wrote that this mobo support NATIVELY ASIO 2.2
That what i supposed to found on this mobo.
I've been betrayed, for now....

Cubase 6, Emu1616m and ASIO driver HELP!

Looking for some help on some ASIO driver issues concerning, ASIO drivers, EMU1616m soundcard drivers, and Cubase 6.
So I have tried setting up Cubase 6 a few different ways and am having problems with drivers I believe.
When using the EMU E-DSP drivers for Cubase, my latency is up to 300 ms for input and output which is a problem that definitely affects VST performance. Plus for some reason when I use the EMU ASIO driver my track peak meters in the project view are really choppy and glitched out, not smooth and flowing like they are with the ASIO4all driver.
There any way to lower the latency of my EMU ASIO driver?
I'm getting 13ms with ASIO4all but it doesn't see all of my 1616m inputs, it only sees 2.
And anyone had problems with glitching peak meters?
They work smooth on the ASIO4all driver.
Any help would be awesome or if someone could point me in the right direction even that would be a good start!
Thanks!

Under Devices > Device Setup > VST Audio System there is a drop down box that says ASIO Driver next to it. That is where I select E-MU ASIO driver. I do not see an ASIO control panel... Okay wait, I clicked on the E-MU driver in the Device Setup list and it does let me select the control panel. It says my buffer latency is set to 4ms? To the right of that is says "Input Latency: 300.998 ms" and just below that "Output Latency: 299.728 ms"
I don't think Cubase is working at 4ms cuz when I try to use Superior Drummer 2.0 VST there is serious lag with each drum hit.
There is no distortion in the audio at all. I sent a picture of the meter I'm talking about.
The meters are doing wierd things. Imagine a sound playing with the peak meter displaying the audio signal. now imagine you cut off the signal. You know how the meter would usually fall smoothly while the sound dies. Well the way it looks now is like stop motion animation. The meter would be at 50% then jump to 30% then 10% then blank. Very jerky like the signal is not being read by cubase right yet it sounds fine when I play back the track.
This is a newer setup I have
Windows7 64
12GB Ram
i7 Bloomfield CPU
