Audigy 4 Pro driver and MediaSource iss

Just bought an Audigy 4 Pro card after getting seriously fed up with my old SBLi've 5. card, however I've got quite a few issues with it.
I'm waiting on a response from Creative Support but figured I might check if anyone here can help.
The bundled software with my card was the Audigy 2 ZS CD, and when I tried to install the drivers from that one it said it couldn't find an Audify 2 ZS card on my system and promptly quit.
I tried a few ways to get around it but no luck, so eventually I downloaded the Audify 4 beta drivers (SBA4_BETADRV_US_2_05_0000.exe)from the Creative site.
Those drivers installed and now my system show an Audigy 4 card installed with the following drivers: 5.2.3.00
After installing the MediaSource from the Audigy 2 ZS CD I did not get any EAX control panel, Creative Mixer or Speaker setting though, so basically I'm stuck with nothing but my two front speakers making any sound at all.
Creative MediaSource version: 2.02.06
If anyone has a suggestion on how to solve this I'd be extremely grateful, because the current situation is quite annoying.

The EAX Console, Speaker Settings and Mixer all came in the product CD. You must install them from the CD.

Can i install windows 7 via bootcamp (MB Air) while using remote disc? I put the windows 7 disk in my macbook pro drive, and connect to my brand new macbook air. In bootcamp i allocate the partition then i click install and bootcamp will not see the disk.

Can i install windows 7 via bootcamp (on my MB Air) while using remote disc? I put the windows 7 disk in my macbook pro drive, and connect to my brand new macbook air via remote disk. In bootcamp (on my air) i allocate the partition, then i click install, and bootcamp will not see the disk from my macbook pro's drive. How do i get the bootcamp assistant running on my MB air to automatically find the disk in my macbook pro with the ISO image of windows 7? The remote disk on my air can find the cd but bootcamp will not begin installing it. Anyway to do this without buying the damned usb drive?

I don't know first hand if you can use the Remote Disk option with Windows but as of 10.7.2 you can now use BCAssistant to make a bootable USB (thumb drive or external disk) W7 installer with the Boot Camp drivers installed also. Have you tried that yet?

Audigy 4 Pro Driver Annoya

Hi,
I am currently experiencing issues with my Audigy 4 Pro drivers whilst trying to use SPDIF pass-through to my external decoder (and surround setup).
I am running the latest beta drivers available through the website and until I installed these drivers, pass-through worked fine. Now however, my decoder is unable to recognise a digital signal from the soundcard.
I am loathe to backpedal and install the old driver again because as well as a film enthusiast I am also a gamer and need the OpenAL support that the beta driver provides. In addition to that my PC used to suffer intolerably long shutdown periods using the original driver supplied on the CD.
Can you tell me if this is a known issue, and if so will a stable release of the driver ever be made available? I find the issue extremely annoying as this was an expensi've bit of kit and I have previously owned both an Audigy and an Audigy 2 without having had any problems.
Many thanks,
Pete

You obviously have not read my last post properly. If I go back to the old driver then I suffer horribly long Windows shut down periods again and also lose OpenAL support for games. It is definitely the Creative driver which causes this.
Very dissapointed with creative on this one.Message Edited by pshuttle on -28-2005 05:29 PM

Sb live 5.1 driver and hardware iss

hey i am having no luck installing this hardware with the unified driver package available on the site.... this card will install properly with the original cd that came with it but i no longer have it. i have seen several posts with the same issue and no moderator comments... is anyone woking on this issue (its been an issue for a long time) and can a moderator atleast tell us that we are not likely to get a fix/solution to this in a sticky so the people having these issues dont have to search through the forums to come to this conclusion themselves.
the only possible way i have to get this working is to unrar/uzip the driver exe and manually point windows to the drivers.... but none of the other features are installed and even after windows sees the hardware and is able to use it the autodetection that comes with the drivers can not. i am using this card primarily in linux since the open source alsa project has good support for it and harware mixing working but this really should have no issues in windows.
lastly, is it possible to get an original installation disk from creative?... the iso available on the forums does not work... it is the unified downloadable driver pkg set up in iso format.
thanks

JonnyBeGood,
The Li'veDrvUniPack is a standalone driver pack that is available on our website. If you do a search for Li'veDrvUni from our driver section, it should be the link that comes up.

Installing x64 Audigy 4 Pro Driv

Hi
Just wondering if anyones managed to install the Audigy 4 x64 drivers? I've got the beta 2 release of Vista but I just get the error that the install has timed out. Anyone got any help?

Thanks
Just got it working, for those who need help, run the installer, but dont touch it, instead, go to the temp folder and copy out the installers files to somewhere else. Then go to that folder and go to Support -> amd64 then run ctzapxx and chose "overwrite existing shared creative audio drivers" then click ok, worked for me )

Log into TC Drive and Mac Pro Drive

I am able to log into my Mac Pro's drives, when file sharing is turned on in the OSX preferences, over the wan using TC which is very cool. Port forwarding works as it should. I use the Connect to Server under the Go menu , all is good. However, is it possible to access both the Mac Pro Drives and TC's internal drive from the wan? I don't need to access them simultaneously. But it would be nice to log into one or the other at will.
It seems that if file sharing is turned in the OSX preferences. I cannot log into TC's drive even though File Sharing and wan are both turned on under the Disk tab in TC. By the way, I have assigned a different name and password to the TC disk.
Does anyone know how this is done, or if it can be done?

I need to reply to my own message. As I mentioned at top of this post I am able to get into my Mac Pro’s drives using file sharing just fine. (read above) I now can get to TC hard drive as well with this set up. I know the IP address of TC. XXXX.XXXX.XXXX.XXXX found in the Internet Connection tab of the Internet menu in AirPort. Lets say its 12.12.12.12
I set up AirPort this way:
Disks -> File Sharing. Check both Enable file sharing and Share disks over Ethernet WAN port.
Disks -> Accounts. Click on the + to add a User
Enter a name and password, set the File Sharing Access to Read and Write
Click Done
Advanced -> Port Mapping then Clicked the + to add a new port
I did nothing with the Service dropdown. Although I enjoyed gazing at it.
Set Public UDP Port(s) XXXX (4 digit number lets say 7878)
Set Public TCP Port(s) 7878 (same number as Public UDP, 7878)
Set Private IP Address to the IP address of my Mac Pro
Set Private UDP Port(s) to 548
Set Private TCP Port(s) to 548
Clicked Continue and entered Description name Clicked done then Update
On my Mac Pro
I turned on File Sharing from the Preferences -> Sharing Panel
I drove to the office, which is generally how I get there. Powered up my Mac. Clicked Go -> Connect to Server. From the Desktop menu.
To connect to TC hard drive:
In the Server Address: field I entered afp://12.12.12.12 then Clicked Connect.
In the Name field I entered the user name and Password from the Disks -> Accounts dialogue in AirPort Utility (the stuff I set up earlier).
I Clicked Connect and saw my TC’s drive.
To connect to my Mac Pro’s Drives
In the Server Address: field I entered afp://12.12.12.12:7878 (followed by the port number I set up earlier. From the Advanced -> Port Mapping in AirPort)
In the Name field I entered the name of the login on I use on my Mac Pro and its password
Clicked Connect and saw all 5 drives installed in my Mac Pro
I sat put back, put my hands behind my head and smiled. Shear poetry. And that’s why I buy apple.

Backing up to external drive, and questions about "clearing up" hd space..?

iPhoto 6. Specs are below.
I have about 7,000 photos, and I have to clear out my hd to create more space.
I have "backed-up" my hd using "super duper" and an external firewire seagate pro drive and now need to clear out space on the internal drive on my G4.
Here are my questions/concerns:
How do I go about deleting my photos off of my internal hd?
I want to continue to use iphoto, but need to delete my current photos from it, in order to free up space.
Will I be able to get access to this drive in, say 10 years from now?
Will it be safe to store in the closet?
When I go to back-up iphoto, will it add my "new" pictures to the old pictures I saved?
My concerns are longevity, and to be able to access these in the future.
Should I be looking at another process? Back-up to DVD?
Thanks for your help!!!!
Feel free to ask me questions as well. These are very important photos, actually ANYONE'S photos are important......just want them safe for the future.

You can run an entire library from that external disk:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
Now, when you add new pics, that's where they will go - obviously, as long as the disk is attached to your Mac and not in the closet
The longevity of storage is a matter of some debate. Optical media (CD & DVD) are rated in years, but none have been around long enough to know if those ratings are accurate. My solution to that problem is to burn a copy of my library to DVD twice a year, so that gets renewed every six months or so. I also upload my library to FLICKR.
I guess the point of backing up is that it's an ongoing process, not a single event.

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).

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!!

Dell said for me to contact CreativeLabs since they no longer have the driver.
Where can I get it's
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.

Audigy 4 Pro + new driv

I just recently reinstalled Windows, and updated to the latest drivers after a week or so. during that week (and before the reinstall) the card worked flawlessly. Now, after a few minutes from boot, it begins to squeal. Where normal sounds would play, (clicks in my browser, games, movies) different pitch squeals play on top of the constant squealing. Music and Wav files, however, play fine--with the squealing still behind it.
Creative Diagnostics comes up clean.
Ive tried any solution Ive seen online here, reinstalling, etc.
Oddities Ive noticed:
The CTHELPER.exe and DLLML.exe processes seem to have crashed and resist being killed.
CTHELPER was disabled from starting with Windows.
System:
Dual Opteron 240 workstation
2 GB RAM
Tyan K8WE motherboard
Windows Server 2003 SP - Windows XP drivers should be fully compatible
Audigy 4 PRO - only drivers installed/drivers & basic Creative utilities
Any help would be appreciated.

You meant ASIO, didn't you.
ASIO driver becomes installed automatically when you install drivers for your card. You select the driver mode in Audition Audio preferences from a droplist. You should see least three Creative/SB ASIO drivers listed there ... one for 24/96 and two for 6/48 "resolutions". If you can't see these drivers listed there then just reinstall (the latest) drivers from Creative Support/Downloads.
NOTE: Adobe added ASIO support in Audition from v. 2.0 so, if you have the v. .5 there ...

The Audigy driver.

I have a 500 GB hard drive and a 1TB Time Capsule running on a MacBook Pro. It was all working well until the MacBook went in for a repair a week or so ago. Since then, TC will not perform a backup; instead, it says the backup is too large for the disk

Since having my MacBook Pro repaired (for a video problem) Time Capsule returns the following message: "This backup is too large for the backup disk. The backup requires 428.08 GB but only 192.14 GB are available."
I notice that there is also a new sparse bundle.
Since TC has my ONLY backup (going back about 4 years) I am reluctant to wipe it and start over fresh as I am afraid of losing files.
Is there a way of dealing with this?
I am using Snow Leopard 10.6.8

The repair shop likely replaced a major circuit board on your MacBook Pro, so Time Machine thinks that you have a "new" computer and it wants to make a new complete backup of your Mac.
You are going to have to make a decision to either add another new Time Capsule....or USB drive to your existing Time Capsule....and in effect start over with a new backup of your Mac and then move forward again.
For "most" users, I think this is probably the best plan because you preserve all your old backups in case you need them at some point, and you start over again with a new Time Capsule so you have plenty of room for years of new backups.
Or, as you have mentioned, you have the option of erasing the Time Capsule drive and starting all over again. The upside is that you start over and have plenty of room for new backups. The downside is that you lose years of backups.
Another option....trying to manually delete old backups individually....is tricky business....and very time consuming. To get an idea of what is involved here, study this FAQ by Pondini, our resident Time Capsule and Time Machine expert on the Community Support area. In particular, study the pink box.
http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/12.html
Once you look through this, I think you may agree that this type of surgery is not for the faint of heart. I would suggest that you consider this only if one of the other options just cannot work for you.

Every time I try to back up my Macbook Pro with an external hard drive using Time Machine, I receive the error of "the disk does not have enough space". I have a 500GB hard drive and only 120GB Macbook. It worked fine before the latest Maverick's

My guess would be it has created an entirely new backup of your drive when you upgraded to Mavericks.
