Audigy 4 hardware accelaration/buffer iss

First off let me say that I've been using the Audigy 4 for months now with no problem. I consider myself a person that has above-average computer knowledge. I have done nothing to affect the card in any way as far as I can tell.
I primarily use it for music and gaming, and while playing Call of Duty 2 I noticed it sounded different than normal. So I look around in the audio settings and find that for some reason EAX was turned off. So I go to re-enable that and it throws me a DirectX error of some kind and exited the game. This happened every time I tried to change that setting, so I finally just re-downloaded and re-installed DX 9.0c. That didn't change anything.
Then later on I noticed that under the audio settings for Halo, the "Hardware Acceleration" option was turned off and grayed out. I couldn't even get to the EAX option to try to turn it on.
Running DxDiag showed nothing out of the ordinary, except that the DIrectX acceleration level was down to "basic" rather than "full". Fixing this did nothing either, and I finally ran the DirectSound test. ALl the sounds played, but it popped up with yet another eror that told me that my card doesn't support hardware buffering, so all buffering wil be done by software.
Since then I've completely wiped all Creative software and drivers off my machine twice, and then above and beyond that, I took the card out and booted Windows once just to make sure Windows noticed it was gone. I then popped it back in and did the re-installs.
So I'm at a loss of what to do now.
I haven't recently installed any hardware or software, I've done not one but two completely clean re-installs, but a once-working card has gone from the pristine 5. EAX goodness to being a glorified normal stereo card.
I haven't tried the clean boot, but I seriously doubt it's anything of that nature.
Any ideas to get my hardware acceleration working again?

Hmmm. Had a play to try and fix my card problems and now made things much worse.
I?did the clean sweep thing in the FAQ and ended up losing all sound. The drivers could be removed but any attempt to re-install from my original disc told me that I did not have a Audigy 2 ZS installed. I then removed the card and re-seated, Windows XP found a multimedia audio controller but not Audigy 2 ZS. Again, attempts to install from original disc failed.
In desperation, deleted all files in the various creative folders and also removed all creative keys from the registry. Reseated card and tried again. Same lack of detection from XP but I was able to 'trick' the system into at least giving me centre speaker support by installing the latest downloaded driver from website. I now have basic sound in all applications but nothing from all the 'extra' speakers in my 7. set-up and the only creative product on my PC (Audio Console) won't start (tells me that I do not have an Audigy 2 ZS installed).
So now I want to know how I can download/re-install all of the various EAX/THX/Diagnostics/Calibrators/DTS controllers again and get my system back to where it was yesterday (or ideally, back to how it was 2 years ago when everything worked fine!).
Tried to contact tech support but the website makes it impossible. If any tech support people read this, please let me know how I actually seek support!?!
Is very frustrating having to watch/play 7. games in 2.0 when I have all the extra speakers.......

No video on mac with hardware accelaration enabled

hi there, i just posted this thread yesterday in the flash player category, but i think it might be more correct if its posted here. we are creating a live stream with a digital rapids encoder, and getting no video on macs if the hardware accelaration is enabled. we have also on demand videos which are encoded over a main concept codec without this bug.
so now my question. is it possible to disable the hardware acceleration from within flash or does anybody have similar experiences?

Hi, I can only supply some information of the options the end user would have on Hardware Acceleration. From what I have read is that even though Adobe Flash Player has included the Mac to be able to use this, Apple may have only allowed it to function on certain Mac and iMac editions. So the end user can turn the H.A. off if it is causing issues with Videos etc. Also with the Flash Player version 10.1.82.76 the H.A. is turned ON by default, hence the option of turning it off. Now if a Mac user wants it on, or even those using other operating systems, it is also recommended to update the video and graphic drivers to the latest versions.
From your end as to what you do I have no idea since this is the Flash Player forum and just speaking for myself, I have no experience with what you do.
Perhaps the Flash Forum would be helpful or one of the Adobe Forums for the particular Adobe Program you use.
Thanks,
eidnolb

Audigy Gamer hardware accelerated or not??

Hi there friends!!
hey! My first post here and asking for some help My english is quite bad so I will try my best. I just bought a Sound Blaster "Audigy () Gamer" used to a friend for replace the onboard Soundmax AC97 of my ASUS A7V8X-X mobo. I disable that one on BIOS and I installed the Audigy Gamer with the latest drivers (Sound Blaster Audigy, Audigy 2 series and Audigy 4 series Driver 02.09.006) all went fine. I test the sound with DXDIAG and all test went fine BUT here my question, the hardware acceleration is working fine? I ask this because in ONE part of the DX 9.0c settings table it says "software" and in all the others says "hardware"
please check this screen capture I take of that "problem" here :
http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/6834/audigy2pw.jpg
(main text in spanish but is the same dxdiag that you use to see there...)
check that "Default Port Acceleration" figures "Enabled" (Aceleracion Predet. del puerto: Habilitado -in spanish-)
so... those settings are fine like that? is normal to see "software" there but the card is really using FULL hardware acceleration?
just want to make sure my card is installed and working well with all features...
I try the game "Armed Assault" and the sounds are MUCH nicer and clear with this card, I didn?t hear anymore the "popping" I use to have with the onboard card (yeah!) so that make me think that the hardware acceleration have to be running ok helping the CPU to handle better the game sounds... but that is just a thought.
thanks for any help with this doubt I have with this used, old but nice card....
cya!

Don't worry that tab is only for DirectMusic, the hardware synths on SB cards use soundfonts and can be accessed via?standard?MIDI but even those have nothing to do with games nowadays.

Audigy 2 hardware damage pc doont b

y had a power problem and my power source got broken. y replaced whit a new oane all workd fine, but my pc dont boot not even in bios whit the audigy 2. y know some about hardware but y dont dont know haw to fix this. sombody know if can be repaird and haw? or the sound card is totaly damaged?

Probably broken then. Unless there is an obvious burnt or broken component on the board, repairing it doesn't seem feasible. If it is still in warranty, you might try contacting the vender or manufacturer.

Is there a difference between Audigy 2 hardware decoding and DVD/MPEG-2 software decodi

I have a capture card and run my PC as a part time HTPC. The audio and video is analog captured and MPEG-2 encoded by the card.
I have the Nvidia DVD/MPEG-2 decoder set to SPDIF(reciever) so it sends the audio stream directly to the Audigy 2.
When playing any of these recorded shows, the only way I get any surround sound on my 5. speakers is to have CMSS () turned on, and it's ok (but not as good as true DVD quality 5.).
What I am wondering, would there be any difference if I upgraded the Nvidia codec to the platinum version, which does software 5. decoding? Would it do a better job of decoding any Dolby Surround material?

Audigy 2 ZS Notebook boot iss

I have an Audigy 2 ZS Notebook card that I have been using for my laptop for a while now. It works perfectly and I really love it. I got a desktop recently and wanted to use my Audigy in it, so I bought a PCMCIA to PCI adapter so that I could put my Audigy into the desktop. I'm having issues with booting up my computer while the Audigy is inserted into the slot, however. The computer freezes during the "welcome" screen (Windows XP) and I have to reboot and remove the card for it to boot properly. When I put the card in after the desktop is fired up, it works fine.
Is there a way to boot up my desktop without having to remove the Audigy every time?

Hello?

Audigy Player Driver, or compat iss

hello,
im a little confused on what driver i need as theres no reference to the audigy-player in driver menu,
im running win XP - SP2, dx9+ what file do i need?
weird thing is i ((was)) using the card on a .7 ghz perfectly even under heavy load no clipping at all now i have transferd card to a xeon dual .7ghz (3.4ghz) over a gig of ram, again xp-sp2 now the same song arrangments that was perfect on a single .7 are clipping badly. even near complete songs that are not useing any MIDI devices (internal or external) are doing the same, i was wondering is this a windows driver/dx9 etc , issue or is there a problem running audigy player on a dual system.
the driver that i installed was an old update i downloaded sometime ago pre sp 2, hence the request for newer driver, games dvds mp3s are perfect, only under song production clipping happens, cubase, fruity, are suffering only..
thanks

cheers bad boy,
i do have the original cd and the free game to, l give your one a go to,
i tryed a audigy driver yesterday on install it says selected components are not installed, sound properties shows sb d400, all drivices/software shows audigy. searching d400 on driver page finds nothing.
ok i know the card is pretty old now but i do like it, creative stuff inc my old gf2 graphic card are solid and stable only time i ever had probs is when i update direct x normaly required to run new software it would be a shame to upgarde something i like because of XP
cheers once again badboy , il head for the download now ,,, fingers crossed its a gooden

Audigy 2 ZS with blue scr

First of all, I've done loads of searching through these forums. I found some similiar sitsuations but none of those solutions worked.
Now I bought Audigy 2 ZS card something like 5 months ago. Drivers installed just fine and everything seemed to be just fine for a while. But after a few days of using my computer started crashing with "IRQ_NOT_EQUAL" (or similiar) blue screen error. I thought that maybe it would be good time to format my computer and start from a clean setup. Anyway it didn't solve the problem at all.
I've done a bit researching, Googling etc and everything lead to that the problem was in my soundcard, my fresh Audigy 2 card. I've tried a lot of trick, which have worked for others: I've reinstalled the drivers, updated the drivers, switched the PCI slot, checked my voltage for CPU is ok, turned Hardware Accelaration off from DXdiag, swithing my onboard soundcard off, checked the IRQs ... Nothing seems to work. And I'm sure it's my soundcard causing the problem becouse with the onboard audio contoller my computer works just fine and stable.
Here's my com. specs:
Asus G5DC(Deluxe)
Intel Pentium 3.2GHz
(Kingston) 024Mb DDRAM
ATI Radeon AX600XT
(I suppose that's all the neccessary info?)
Thanks for your time!

Seems quite bad. I DL the motherboard manual later this evening and let's see if there is any chances to make your IRQ situation better.
jutapa
OK so here we are again...
Seems your graphics card is sharing IRQ with PCI-E ports you propably can't disable.
Here are my # suggestion:
Disable all unused onboard devices/controllers on BIOS (audio, floppy, serial port(s),IEEE 394, game/MIDI port, SATA (if not SATA hard disk in use) etc.).
IRQ 6: you can disable USB Uni'versal Host Controller
IRQ 7: move Audigy into another PCI Slot --> Slot or 2 --> Audigy gets it's own IRQ
IRQ 8: no necessary changes need to made, but if you do not use the FireWire port then you can disable the IEEE 394 controller. If you disable both then some other controller/device may take this IRQ --> may help the situation
IRQ 9: disable USB Uni'versal Host Controller --> Ultra ATA gets it's own IRQ
IRQ 23: it's up to you if to disable USB controler(s)
Move Audigy into PCI slot 2 (the middle one).
Boot once and see IRQ's if there are changes?
You can pre-try above mentioned disablings, so you may find the component causing your BSODs.
On device manager --> select the controller/device and mouse-right-click it --> disable or enable.

Audigy 2 ZS decoding DTS performa

I have posted a message before to resolve IRQ conflicts, well it's done and audigy decoding is working well. although there's some out of Sync in the audio, when i pause, rewind, forward, skip a chapter, etc. this is solved changing in powerdvd from SPDIF to 6 channels, and 6 channels to SPDIF again.
if i watch the complete movie there's no problem at all, it's really amazing the sound that produces audigy decoding AC3 over powerdvd decoding.
The problem i have is with dts decoding, for the first two minutes it works normal(Woow it's even better than AC3, the playback is smooth and the sound Louder) , but then, it pauses, i have to stop and then play to continue, the strange thing is that this happen in different times such us: two minutes, 5 seconds or even fi've minutes.
This tests i did in Zoomplayer with SPDIF OUT using Powerdvd audio and video decoding.
In WinDvd i test the same thing but there were pauses too,but it continue automaticaly, i don?t have to do 'the stop and play' as with Zoomplayer.
I checked the CPU usage and it's an increment of the use of the cpu DTS decoding over AC3 decoding, maybe my Pentium III 500 hz doesn't support it.(cause there's some peaks of the 00% porcent usage, when decoding DTS in Audigy zs 2.
i also have tried accelarating(increment and OFF) hardware accelaration in both Nvidia card and Audigy zs 2 card. i have noticed some longer playback but at the end, it pauses anyway.
) What is the Best setup in hardware accelaration in both Nvidia video card and audigy sound card?
2) What else do i have to setup to be able to see a complete movie with audigy DTS decoding without pauses.

I hate pumbing threads like this , but I really need an answer , DTS stutters but AC3 is perfect , I am also using reclock?in case somebody suggests it .

How do I disable hardware acceleration? (This option from preferences menu not works on Linux)

I want to disable hardware accelaration because it freezes my pc at startup.
I am convinced that HA causes this problem.
My OS is Crunchbang (http://crunchbang.org/about/) .
My pc is a pentium 4, nvidia 5200 gpu, nouveau drivers.
I ask for help at MozillaZIne Forum (http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=2767265) and at Crunchbang forum.
I disable HA in firefox (preferences and about:config) without result.
In FireFox General Options "Use hardware accelaration when available" is disabled.
In about: config gfx.content.azure.enabled is false and gfx.direct2d.disabled (user set) is true.
Also xorg.conf doesn't help me.
In xorg.conf (configuration file of Nouveau GPU driver) hardware accelaration is disabled.
The only solution is to disable nouveau hardware accelaration editing the boot menu (kernel boot parameter : nouveau.noaccel=1) and firefox works.
But HA is necessary for other applications like OpenOffice.
If HA is disabled menus, buttons and other UI components do not show properly

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]

Thank you.

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.

Problems with DLed ISO of Audigy 2 Installation

Okay, so i DLed the ISo of the audigy 2 installation CD, mounted it on a CD emulator and it runs fine, but when i get to the point where i need to install the drivers it gives me an error saying i don't have any Audigy 2 Hardware installed on my motherboard. Which i know is false because with other driver updates my card works for the most part.
But i want the media controll center that comes with the CD and want to make use of this ISO, the ISO is the exact same of my CD to the extent it gives me the same exact options for my Audigy 2 regular 6. surround sound. Does anyone else have this problem or had and know what to do from here?
I'm running from a clean re-format and it's a good clean format, this is strictly an ISO or sound card related problem. i'm 99.99% sure it's because of the ISO not detecting my hardware, but i know it's functional and in there. CAN anyone, anyone at all! please for the love of god, i have litterally whimpered to myself and pulled hair out because of this issue! arghhhh someone free me from my audigy 2 prison! anyways lol, any help much appreciated.

If your card is an OEM model, you may need to patch the installer. This is done w/ ctcomp.exe utility --> search this forum after it's name so you get the dl link and some instructions how to patch.
After you have drivers installed, then you can manually install those applications you like to have (may need to have patch those installers too).

Software needed for Audigy 2 Platinum

I've just bought a second-hand PC complete with the Audigy 2 hardware (including the external control box, speakers etc.), but no software!?I've downloaded the drivers from the soundblaster site, but first prize would be copies of the original CDs that came with the equipoment. If anyone has this kit and is prepared to make copies of the CDs for me, I'll gladly reimburse them. Many Thanks!
