Audigy 4 Line-in probl

I have tried using the the line-in feautures of the new Audigy 4, however apart from the microphone I can't get the other line-ins (2 and 3) to work. Mainly trying to hook up a guitar. I've tried straight from the guitar to the external box, then from the amp (clean setting) and still nothing. At best I get a static like sound. One of my electric guitars gives out a recognizable sound, although it's garbled at best.
Greatly frustrated at the fact that Creative persists with giving out no manual whatsoever and that the online version is joke. Any help in this matter is greatly appreciated.

i have the same problem, i can't use line in of the hub (neither the headphone on the hub) while all other stuff seems to work as it should (volume and remote control at least)
Did u solved the problem?

Audigy 2 Value probl

Hi,
I bought an OEM version of the Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Value 7.. It came without a manual or drivers, and I'm having more problems setting it up than I expected, on both Windows and Linux.
Firstly, I don't know where to plug in the CD audio cable from my DVD dri've. The Audiology 2 Getting Started Guide I found online does not help, since the Audigy 2 Value card only has TAD and AUX_IN (no CD_IN or CD_SPDIF). Is there any way at all I can play CDs with this sound card? I tried connecting it to AUX_IN and raising the AUX volume (with alsamixer in Linux), but no luck.
In Windows I cannot even get this far. It does not automatically detect any drivers, and I can't find any drivers for this card on the support site. Which drivers does this card use, and where can I get them?
Many thanks in advance for any help.

I'm with him on the drivers. I would like a definiti've solution from Creative's support on this question. I e-mailed them previously and received nothing but canned responses! Software auto-update gets corrupted when I try to use it. I see no solution listed on these boards. This is ridiculous.
I'll start off by saying that the choice of forum is suitable for your support, Creative. Totally buggy. It erased EVERYTHING I HAD WRITTEN *WHILE TYPING* and often does not display the full posts.
I have been using Creative products longer than most people can remember the name. Started with a SoundBlaster Pro, moved on to a SoundBlaster 32 (6-bit, 32-voices... come to think of it the first decepti'vely named product and also offered no support), probably the first to own a $250 3DBlaster Voodoo II when I was a teen, and finally purchased an Audigy 2 Value. In fact, the only reason I went with the A2 Value instead of a more expensi've card, was because it was the only one of the A2 Series that would fit in my custom SFF. With both Creative customer support and the technical specs backing it up, I purchased this card expecting to receive the same performance as the rest of the Audigy 2 series. The more I read, the more it looks like this may be a rebadged Audigy and that I have been mislead.
Look, I am truly fed up with this. Ultimately I decided on the Audigy line because of the performance it offered in gaming. Previously, I had been extremely happy with my Envy-based Philips Acoustic Edge, which sounded just as good in gaming and offered much richer .mp3 sound and processing for. I mainly just wanted a change. But if losing a few frames in games is all it would take to get better sound and provided drivers, I will not hesitate to go back or use an alternati've. Unless Creative publicly provides working Audigy 2 Value drivers and definiti'vely tells me that the Audigy 2 Value provides the same DSP as the rest of the line, I will no longer support their products by purchasing them ever again. You can pretend not to notice this post, but it will have the same effect.Message Edited by WiCKeD on 02-28-2005 03:44 AM

Audigy SE Mic Probl

I recently got an Audigy SE and plugged in my headphones to the Line-in (Green plug) and the mic to the "Flexijack" (blue plug). Now, my mic is not recognized by Windows. If I try to open Teamspeak. it says I do no have a sound.out device. If I try to test hardware, it does not see the mic. I am sure it is plugged in the correct spot. Furthermore, I went into the mixer and apparently the microphone can be set both as a source and a recording device. Anyway, I went in there and made sure mic was set as a recording device. Whenever it is set as the recording device, I hear a low hiss in my headphones, yet when I switch my mic to the headphone plug, it doesn't pick up on the mic there, either.
So, basically, the card is not picking up my mic, and if I have my mic unmuted, then I hear a hiss in my headphones. Anybody have a suggestion?

Same card, same issue with the mic not being recognised even though the line is swithced off.
There are a lot of issues here posted that go unanswered and unresolved and i think the lack of input or help from creative admins says quite a lot.

Audigy Line-in Stereo as Mono prob

I have an original Audigy which I am recording stereo through line-in but no matter what recording program or operating system (98SE & Win2000 dualboot) the left and right channels are mixed to mono. They both have the same signal on them. It plays games, music, etc. in stereo just fine. It was working a few days ago so I'm worried the sound card went bad.
I'm I missing something simple? Any thoughts?
-thanks

It's a little complicated but I'm using the line-in to record two separate phototransistor voltage changes on two channels but that really is independent of the problem because both the Sound Forge and Sony Audition software left and right channel monitor levels are indicating equal levels even though they are set for 48kHz stereo sampling. It has worked okay for quite awhile before and the input levels are very low so I don?t think it was zapped by high input levels.
I did get it to work momentarily after messing with Dxdiag sound tests and the Audigy control panel speaker tests but after rebooting the computer it was back to no good.
I will have to say that I did install a new motherboard but the drivers are all up to date.
Can this be related to hardware/driver issues? I just assumed that a stereo signal coming into the card and showing up as stereo on the software was a very basic function.

Audigy line-in issues

for some reason my mixer thinks that the line in on my audigy card is a mic in. this is a problem because the sound is extremely muffled, even with the 20+ boost turned on. I can't switch it to the mic-in because that creates feedback into my mixer (external mixer for turntables). in the mixer (gnome-alsamixer) i only have a "TriTech TR28602" tab, however on other systems (ubuntu, which i played with for a bit) there would be another tab for the OSS compatibility which is what i used to adjust the volumes and it worked fine.
i followed the instructions of the wiki here and also turned up other volumes since i have surround sound.
snd-emu10k1 and snd-pcm-oss are both loaded by rc.conf (snd-emu10k1 first, then snd-pcm-oss).
any ideas? thanks!

try here:
http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=emu10k1
what I get from it is basically this:
you need to add some options to modprobe.conf for the module, to indicate different line in/out combos
options snd-emu10k1 extin="???" extout="???" (see below)
Input & Output configurations............................[extin/extout]
* Creative Card wo/Digital out......................[0x0003/0x1f03]

SoundBlaster Audigy SE speaker probl

I bought a Creative Soudblaster Audigy SE sound card last night because I was told that I needed a sound card that supported 5. speakers. I have 4 Dell speakers and a Dell subwoofer. Two of the speakers are connected directly to the subwoofer and the other two speakers are connected seperately. The two speakers and the sub was an upgrade but I liked the sound of my old Dell speakers so much that I kept them. After I bought the sound card I hooked the first set up of speakers to the green line out jack. Then I hooked the 2 speakers and the subwoofer up to the orange line out jack. I then tried my speakers and the 2 speakers that are connected to the green jack work but the 2 speakers with the sub don''t work. I then got a splitter and hooked it into the green out jack and hooked all the speakers into that jack, but only the 2 speakers continued to work the subwoofer and the other 2 speakers I continued to get no soundo out of them. I'm not sure what else to do.

so once again i got the 5 speakers working in windows playback devices but now when i play a dvd i get the quite voices again which always seems to happen once i get all 5 speakers working through cmss and the eax panel. when watching regular tv through windows media center i have no probems with sound because i believe that is just stereo not dolby. i read all about tweaking the settings from front to back and this had no effect just another problem that cant seem to be solved.

Attached mixing board with audigy sound card probl

i am using a mixing board with an audigy sound card the porgram im using has 2 channels a and b the music plays only on one port i used to be able to sue up the 2 different songs on 2 volume controls now both songs play in the 2 channels but sound is only controlled by one volume control?it has played properly for over 3 years with no problems until tonight?anyone have any ideas?thanks

Okay, I'm assuming you mean you have a stereo connection to rear Line-out and 2 and that you want both Line-outs to play the same stereo signal. If you are trying for something different, then post additional explanation, and we can go from there. I have not heard of an SB9400 before. You should be able to find the serial number on a white sticker on the card. That would identify the model. I think all Audigies have a Speaker Settings applet. So in Speaker Settings, do you have 4/4. speakers selected? If you have an EAX Console, do you have a CMSS3D option? (It might be called simply CMSS on some Audigies.) If so, select that. If you have a stereo surround option, select that. For the Audigy 2 ZS, for example, CMSS3D stereo surround will route the same stereo signal to Line-out & 2 (and optionally to Line-out 3).

SB Audigy 4 Driver Probl

At least, I *think* it's a driver problem. Let me start from the beginning.
Just about every other time I start up my PC, my SB Audigy 4 (Retail) runs into a problem. That is, the nice Exclamation Point shows up, and it doesn't see it as a SB Audigy 4, but rather a "Multimedia Audio Controller" (MAC for short). So I uninstall the MAC, reboot (note, at reboot, it shows it as a Creative Soundblaster Audigy Audio Processor, still with the yellow exclamation point next to it, and still with (CODE 0) attached, and install the SBAX_WEBUP_LB_2_08_0004.exe drivers. (Why, oh why does it only come in EXE format? What happened to the Good old days of .inf files?)
Pic Follows:
http://www.sglider.net/images/Audigy4uninstalled.JPG
I install, and everything goes well. I reboot, and my Sound drivers are there, so I can play my favorite games. But, the next time I reboot my PC, I'll have lost my Sound Drivers again --- though it doesn't happen every time, but I can't go more than 2 reboots without it happening again.
I'm really getting tired of reinstalling these drivers on every boot up. Does anyone have the skinny?
My system details follow:
AMD Athlon XP 3000+ (333mhz Barton)
Soyo KT400 Dragon Ultra Mobo (Via chipset - Newest Hyperion Drivers installed) - Motherboard updated.
Ati Radeon X850XT AGP
SB Audigy 4
2 GIG PC2700 DDR SDRAM
Microsoft Windows XP Professional w/SP2 and all updates.
Thank you for your patience, and your assistance.

Thanks for that tip, that may make it so I don't have to do stupid things to get it to see the driver.
Next step though is to find a way to keep the Driver from mysteriously uninstalling or borking itself so I don't have to keep reinstalling it. Any ideas?

Creative Audigy 4 Pro probl

I have the speaker system Sven HT-485 and sound card Creative Audigy 4 Pro. As to me correctly to connect all this through the external module of the sound card that worked normally. And I connect that, but through a coaxial and optical there is no sound. And when I connect to the most sound card through AUX a sound is, but a stereo. And how to me to achieve 5. Or it is impossible? Help, very much I ask! Thanks

Speaker configurations are made on Speaker Settings -panel (can be runned from Surround Mixer too).
Perhaps on Speaker Settings -> digital output only may help when you connect through digital output. There is also utility called CTPanel you may want to check out.

Audigy 4 decoding probl

Hello all!
I just became the owner of an audigy 4 pro and everything seems to be working fine except for the hardware ac3 and dts decoding.
Both windows media player 0 and powerdvd 5 behave as if the dvd is scratched (glitchy playback) when i turn on the spdif output.
I tried to play a vob file from the hard dri've to make sure it doesn't have anything to do with data transferring and i got the same problem.
There's no conflict with my graphics card drivers (radeon 9600pro) and the on-screen dolby/dts logo appearing when i start playback, because i turned the osd off and the problem persists...
Powerdvd's soft decoding works fine but i'd rather have it the hardware way... after all i paid for it.
Strange thing -dvd audio works flawlessly.
I previously had the li've 5. installed, could there be any conflict with the old drivers?
Driver problem or faulty card?
Thanks for any help!

Well I have to say thank you for saving me $300.00 bucks. I have the Audigy 2ZS Platinum and it does exactly the same thing. When the "scratching" finally goes away, the audio and video are out of sync and I cannot seem to fix it. It appears that this is something of an emerging problem as I have seen more and more people complain about it in the last couple of months. I have yet to find the answer to fix it and Creative has not responded here concerning the issue, at least that I have seen. I am using the nVIDIA DVD Decoder with a GeForce 6800GT OC and I get the same response with both Dolby Digital and DTS. I have seen various postings of people trying many different options such as changing PCI slots and manually setting IRQ's but this has not remedied the situation. I am wondering if it is driver or hardware related. Does anyone at Creative know anything about these problems?

Audigy 4 pro probl

Hi,
I am having problems getting dts sound from my audigy 4 pro soundcard.
i am using inspire t7900 speakers.
when i play a movie in powerdvd i only get 2 front channel working, even though i select dts format.
what am i doing wrong?
i get the same effect when a play a movie on my dvd player [home]. i am using the left and right audio leads commected toline in 3 on the back of the audigy external box, but still only get two channels.
Please help, what am i doing wrong?

Do you have the 2 pin Digital cable running from the DVDrom dri've to you card or to/from the I/O port?
Use it if you dont.
Go to windows control panel then audio HQ.
Open up device controls and then decoder.
Select SPDIF passthrough. ( ensure you speaker set up can decode it though ) Id say yours do
In control panel open up sound and audio devices then hardware. Select your sound card in the list.
Highlight and go properties then go to properties in the next window.
Open up each device and ensure its set to use audio features on this device.
With powerdvd in the advance options for audio ensure its set to 5. or which ever speaker set you have. Same with audio in windows control panel and Creative Surround Mixer.
What codecs/filters are you running? IF you have installed too many codec packs that can/may cause issues.
For the most part all you need is WMP0 + AC3 filter and or FFDshow. Your DVD player software ( your case Power DVD ) and Xvid or full Divx version, for most common AVI files and the like.
In the advance options in Power DVD is there an Audio option for SPDIF? If yes, select it.
Also ensure its set to use your card and NOT default audio device which is, I think wav - direct sound, in other words not full range, you want full range that your card can do. an excample.
WMP has 2 options for its sond device - open up tools, options, devices then speakers - properties. Here you will see default direct sound and then your card. You should have simular setup system in Power DVD.
If that fails.
Can you uninstall Power DVD and try WinDVD, you may have this with your mainboard?
If you can get WIN DVD ensure its set up to use SPDIF.
Ok, try that for starters and see how you go.
It will be somthing simple Id say

Plz Help: Audigy 2 ZS Probl

SB Audigy 2 Value probl

Hi
I'm new around here and I hope someone will be able to help me.
A few days ago, I bought a Sounblaster Audigy 2 Value card and installed it in my computer. Everything went well. I configuured it to go with my then, 2 stereo speakers.
Two days later, as I was very satisfied with the card, I decided to add much better 5. speakers. I could not find the quality Soundblaster speakers I would have liked in my area so, I finally decided to buy the Logitech Z5500 digital speakers.
I intalled the speakers and just about everything went fine except I have a few problems.
The speakers (all 6 of them) play very well but when I try to play a DVD and use the "DTS surround" setting, I have no sound at all. If I use the "Stereo surround" setting, everything is fine. For example, on the Eagles "Hell freezes over" DVD, there is a song that can only be listened to if you have a DTS decoder, well, I can not listen to that song.
Another "problem" has to do with the Creative "Speaker calibrator". Even if I modified the settings to "5.", it only recognizes 2 speakers on my system(even if all 6 speakers are playing).
When I tried testing the speakers, I can only hear the sound/voice in the "Front left and front right speakers. No sound whatsoever in the remaining four speakers.
Maybe I should not have listened to the guy who sold me the speakers. He assured me that all I had to do was connect the green, black and yellow cables from the "Digital Sound Touch Control Center" to the soundcard and that it was not useful at all to buy a coaxial or digital cables.
I would appreciate some help, please.
