Audigy 4 mic prob

I cannot get my Sennheiser PC50 mic to work with my audigy 4 sound card in games like CS: Source. No matter what plug I put the mic into it does not work with CS. I can record things in the the EAX console if I use line-in /MIC plug and I have to turn up the volume on the mic with the knob on the right side of the I/O hub. But cannot get it work in games. Anyone know what to do? This is driving me crazy because now I have an expensi've sound card that will not let me do simple things that onboard sound will let me do without any effort.

I beli've you mean this from Steampowerd.

Audigy 2 ZS Plat. Line-In 2 MIC prob

My mic won't work in the front panel (line-in 2) unless I go into surround mixer and change the "Rec" selection to Line-In 2/Mic 2. It randomly changes back to "microphone" all the time. I have to keep manually changing it back to line-in 2/mic 2 while I'm playing games or talking in ventrilo. Any way to fix this problem would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have this same problem in Counterstrike as does 00% of people who own an audigy 2 card and decide to use the Mic 2 input. This is more the blame of the game developers and not creative, other games such as UT2K4 that do support the mic 2 input I have no problem with. There is a homebrew application called mixerfixer that will switch input from Mic over to Mic 2 every X number of seconds that is user defined. This will cure the problem.hope this helped

Audigy 2 ZS pro mic prob

Need help, sitting here pulling my hair out... Everything works perfect exept my mic, and yes i have done about all to fix it. I?ve disabled the onboard soundcard, and no the mic is not in mute. I?ve tryed about all the solutions i could find here on the forum. I?ve installed the latest drivers and so on and so on. Now the problem is that in start/settings/Control Panel/Sounds and Audio Devices/voice Voice recording the Advance button is gray, so cant get in to advance settings. Its worked like a charm before and now its just gone. I have done the Test hardware and it cant find the mic, and yes i have tested with other headsets just to c if my was broken (my headset Koss SB/45). I remember i had this broblem a long time ago, but i cant remember what i did to fix it. Think that time it was something in windows that was faulty, im going nuts here please need help.
thnx in advance...
btw im using Win XP ProMessage Edited by SuperSperm on 02-28-20060:26 AM

Unfortunately, though it's as if the input hardware doesn't exist, the cause isn't clear. It might be the drivers, or it might be the hardware, or Idon'tknowwhatelse. One question: you said the "Test hardware" couldn't find the mic. What software did you run for that?
I have 4 suggestions from simplest to most radical.
. Check for IRQ conflicts
2. Reinstall the drivers.
3. Move the card to a different PCI slot.
4. Uninstall and reinstall the card and all Creative software (i.e., a cleansweep) with a bootup after uninstalling and removing the card before reinstalling. Use your original install CD for the reinstallation and make sure the card is working before installing any updates.
You can try & 2 fairly quickly. If I think of anything else, I'll post back.

Nope, none of the other headsets worked. And yes ZS are set as default. And the buttun is not gray in Audio/ Sound playback. But its gray in Audio/ Sound recording to. I have a check in the box too.

MIC PROB

Hi all i'm new to this forum.....

The mic works fine when i select from surround mixer : line-in/mic
The problems starts when i start some applications like counter-srike, and and other games, 4 example
when a map changes in cs the option rec retutns TO THE DEFAULT SETTING wave at the surround mixer so i have to minimize the games in order to change the option back to line-in/mic many times.......

Having a mic prob

ok i play day of defeat (valve/steam game), we also use Team Speak, now when i load TS everything is fine mic is working fine, when i go into DOD i can't use voice at all, the symbol doesn't show up at all either. It does the same if i load DOD st and then TS, then TS voice doesn't work. i can't use both at the same time, other ppl do and i'm wondering if there is a setting somewhere or what? i have the latest driever for my Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS card, it used to work a long time ago now it doesn't, i did notice that the others are not using a ZS card, so it has to be something with the card right? my mic is a headset mic and it works great other than this, please help.
here are my system specs as of now:

Hello bill,
I dont think inspection method text can be linked in any other way to Batch Characteristic.
Why dont you put inspection method text in batch characteristic itself? There is a "Documentation for description" in Basic data tab and upload a "Document" in Addnl data tab; you can use these feilds.
Amol.

Audigy Gamer prob

I have a Sound Blaster Audigy Gamer that I bought quite a while ago. It is retail and installs fine off of the CD (drivers, applications, etc.). Because the drivers on the CD are so old I want to update them. I downloaded the AUD_WEBUP_PCWDRV_-84-40 driver setup program off of Creative's site but it gives me the "Setup could not detect any Sound Blaster Audigy on your system."
In the device manager there is the Creative Audigy Audio Processor (WDM) and it is enabled and is shown as working properly, which it is. The sound works through the card and everything plays okay but I want to update the drivers and everything for the next generation games and whatnot (though I probably should just upgrade the card, but that is irrelevant).
The web setup program is an .exe file so I cannot just extract it and get the drivers out so I don't really know how to get around this detection problem. Any help would be appreciated.System:AMD Athlon 64 3400+EPoX 8KDA series motherboardBFG GeForce 6800 OC

One of the listed requirements for that file is:
Installation of the Audigy Web Update files released on 9 November 2003.</LI>
The file you need to install first is called AUD_EAX4DRV_0303.exe

Audigy 2 prob

Having a strange problem with my soundcard. With eax enabled in several games (Call of Duty, Halo, etc) sound positioning is all wrong. For example if I am shooting a rifle over my shoulder in Call of Duty, the gun sounds like it's really far away. As I move the gun further from me, the sound volume increases as though it's getting closer. In other words, it seems like sound positioning is reversed.
I've gone as far as a fresh XP install, and updated drivers through the creative labs website. No luck in fixing problem. I had the same problem on a separate machine, and a fresh xp install solved the problem.
Any suggestions? This is really annoying!
Thanks.

Hate to inform you...but you need to take your card out back and shoot it...it's the only humane thing to do....luck!

Audigy SE prob

Hi!
I just installed my new <span class="text_smallest">Audigy SE soundcard, but I'm having problems with the signal being too loud.
When I have both Wave and Playback at minimum in the sound control centre, the sound is still too loud for any amplifier or speakers to handle.
I've been searching for a solution to this, but with no luck.
Anyone with the same problem, or does anyone know the solution to this, because at the moment, I can't use the soundcard.. :\

Yours is a very odd statement. CL's cards are basically designed to output standard (consumer-equipment) line-level at full volume, which powered speakers and audio gear are designed to accept.
Are you getting loud output when the card isn't doing anything? What happens if you "mute" everything in the mixer except Wave and Playback?

Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Prob

I usually don't have major problems with my computer.. I scan reguarly and check for spyware... I keep my computer clean..etc..
Last night I rebooted and got errors...
one was:
PCI input device could not be found..
and also
394 network adapter
I also had no sound..
I reinstalled (I thought) and got my sound back..with no icon on the task bar..(no diagnostics) come to find out I had not installed and when I tried it would not let me..gave me another error saying..
could not detect sound blaster audigy 2 on this system
Please ensure sound blaster hardware is properly installed before running this setup program
this setup will now exit..
I do have sound now..but its still not showing I have Sound blaster audigy 2 software or anything of Sound Blaster on my computer..
I have checked device manager and all hardware is working properly..
I have a dell computer with windows xp
any help would be greatly appreciated..
Dee

Dee,
If the card came supplied with the PC, then you may need to contact Dell to get specific drivers or applications for it.
Is the card working correctly now? Is it listed in Device Manager, with no error messages? What did you use to reinstall, was it a CD, or a driver? If it was just a basic driver pack, then it's likely that doesn't include any extra applications.

Cubase/Audigy 2 prob: How do I turn on "Record What U Hear" function?

I'm not sure if I phrased that question right but apparently someone is telling me that I need to turn that function on in my Audigy 2 to get my wavetable synths to transfer to WAV files when I export in Cubase.
I looked in the mixer and saw the volume control but is that all I need to do? Is there something else?
Thanks!

Does this need to be done in this way on Cubase?
You can turn "What U Hear" ON on
- Creative Surround Mixer --> select .rec source by pressing the icon above the recording level slider
and on
Windows Record Controls (volume) --> by slecting (check box below level slider) the "What U Hear" -channel
NOTE: When you are using native ASIO or WDM/KS drivers --> recording controls are bypassed (i.e. recording source selection on surround mixer doesn't affect).
You may need to switch the drivermode 1st to something other (WDM, MME, DS, maybe ASIO multimedia) to get WUH working (never tried this by myself). On Windows registry, there is "SB AUDIGY ASIO WUH [xxxx]" driver listed (I assume th WUH means "What U Hear"), but I have not seen it listed in any application I've tried/using.

Vista, Xfi Extremegamer, Mic prob

Ok so Im having a problem here.....

If im playing a game, all game sounds are being sent through my mic, if Im listening to an mp3, its being sent through my Mic. The only way I can have any conversation is with all sounds off (BORING) Has anyone else had this problem Any help would be great. I should not that I only just installed Vista, and did not have this problem under Xp

There already is a thread discussing mic quality on the first forum page.
