To Whom It May Concern:

I just bought an Audigy 4 Pro sound blaster and I wanted to connect an external mixer to my card but I don?t know how to do it. Do I have to buy a special cable to do it's

Please advise as soon as possible. Thank for your time

That really depends on what kind of connections it has. At the very least it should have some sort of analog outputs, which you should be able to connect to the line-in (perhaps with an adapter cable if necessary).
It probably isn't best to leave your e-mail address up on the forum, as it leaves you open to e-mail harvesters and spam. If you edit your post, you can remove those. There is a private message option aswell if anyone wants to contact you directly.

Audigy 4 pro digital connection but no l

Hi
I have a soundblaster audigy 4 pro and i connect it to my amblifier denon with optical cable but when i play a dolby digital or dts sound i can't get the logo on the amblifier. I test it on clean install win xp sp2. The sound seems to bo ok but no logo. I use Power dvd latest version.When i play the same dvd on my desktop dvd player with optical connection everything is ok sound and all logo's display.
Do i have to enable cmss?
Please help.
Thank you
P.S sorry for my bad english.Message Edited by ASTRAPI on 06-2-2005 0:30 AM

CMSS is an effect used for stereo sounds, to emulate surround sound for them. It has no effect on the DVDs you're playing as you're just outputting the AC3 signal so the speakers can decode it.
If you're using a digital connection, then CMSS will not have any effect for other sound either, you need to connect through multiple analog connections to get that sound. A standard digital connection (coaxial and optical SPDIF) can only pass over either a stereo PCM signal, or an encoded AC3 stream (like on your DVDs). Normal sound like music or games will only be passed over as stereo PCM, so there is no CMSS effect there.
If you can connect your amplifier through several analog connections, then you can use CMSS aswell, otherwise your amplifier might have it's own upmix option like ProLogic.

Audigy 4 Pro Hub Analog inputs problem

&Analog inputs in Audigy 4 Pro external hub seem to be unsupported in Windows 7. Am I wrong?
I installed latest drivers, set mixer to monitor sound from line in, also tryed win ASIO, but I am unable to get any sound from Line in/Mic in.
Please help me clarify this issue, I?ve been trying to find an answer through different forums for hours! Thanks

Issue solved... line in /Mic is now working. Audigy 4 pro analog input is supported using latest windows 7 drivers.

My early 2009 Mac Pro does not connect via bluetooth to my sound bar or bluetooth mini speakers. Both my wireless keyboard and mouse have no problems connecting. What do I need to do to connect to external bluetooth devices?

I would always have a wired keyboard and mouse on hand (need not be expensive ... any cheap wired devices will work). "Emergency recovery" procedures can activate features in random order, so the opportunity to select a recovery partition may pass before the wireless devices are recognized.
That will let you select the "turn on Bluetooth" icon.

I can not store all my Music on my internal Macbook pro hard drive so I am storing it on a large external drive connected to my airport extrem. How do I get Itunes to search for the music here with out trying to copy it to my laptops hard drive??

I can not store all my Music on my internal Macbook pro hard drive so I am storing it on a large external drive connected to my airport extreme (2 TB drive plugged into the USB port). I see the drive on my laptop and I can add and delete files no problem. How do I get Itunes to search for the music here with out trying to copy it to my laptop's hard drive? I don't have enough space to do that.

How did you move the music to the external drive? What exactly is on the drive? The entire iTunes folder or only music? If it is the entire iTunes folder you can do the option+start suggestion earlier. If you copied only music and did so by dragging it there then you need to delete it again and consolidate/organize it there instead so iTunes tracks the move. iTunes 12 for Mac: Change where your iTunes files are stored - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19507

Audigy 4 Pro - can only get 2 channel sound via SPDIF/optical connecti

I have two PC's, one with an Audigy 4 Pro and one with an Audigy 2 Platinum (A2P), I have my 5. speakers hooked up to the A2P and the A4P connected via the SPDIF to the A2P, I would expect to get 5. - both are setup to use 5. speakers, (I know that as a standard Digital coax/optical connections should handle multi speaker configs my entire A/V sound system (7. Dolby) uses optical and coax and it works fine).
If I run the channel test on the Audigy 4 I can get nothing but sound through the left and right speakers, if I run the test on the Audigy 2 (speakers direct connected) the sound is fine, if I reconnect the speakers to my Audigy 4 I get sound on all speakers so it looks like its an issue with the SPDIF and optical inputs (I tried both).
I have emailed tech support, I'm waiting for them to come back and tell me that the Audigy 4 cannot transmit more than two channels down the SPDIF/optical outs, thats my suspicion anyway, if that is the case then I'm not going to be a happy man and the Audigy will be going back to the store. Could be a driver problem of course as I cant believe they would implement Dolby and THX and only transmit two channels on the optical outs, that would be a bit dumb considering the primary use for digital connections is sound system interconnects.
Anyone with any ideas about this let me know, perhaps theres a hidden setting somewhere or a registry setting that switches the digital outs to carry all signals.

Just before everyone kicks off, heres a response I got from a tech guy at Creative themselves.
If you connect speakers to your sound card using a digital cable
(RCA/SPDIF or optical) then the software speaker test will only output
from two speakers. The reason for this is that the speaker test signal is
not in AC3 nor DTS format.
The signal on a digital connection is either
Optical SPDIF - which is either Stereo PCM signal or AC-3/DTS Bitstream
RCA SPDIF - which is either Stereo PCM signal or AC-3/DTS Bitstream
If you play AC3 (Dolby Digital) or DTS encoded signals, the amplifier
decodes this and outputs it to all 6 speakers (5 satellites & subwoofer)
discretely.
When playing back stereo signals (such as Wav/CD Audio or MP3/WMA files)
the amplifier may generate 5. output based on the incoming stereo PCM
signal, provided Dolby Pro Logic decoding is available and activated.
Therefore the speaker test should not be relied on when using RCA or
Optical digital connections.
This applies to all speaker systems equipped with RCA or Optical digital
connections.
This makes sense to me and I'm pretty happy with it, basically as the reply says above the speaker test does not encode to AC3 hence if you hook two Audigys together and run the test you only get 2 channel output, if you play a DVD which is AC3/DTS encoded on one Audigy and listen to speakers hooked up to the other when both Audigys are connected via SPDIF or optical you should in theory get full playback on all speakers. Hopefully
Cheers

Inspire TD7700 and Audigy 4 Pro connection problem

I have a problem connecting the speaker system Inspire TD7700 with the soundcard SoundBlaster Audigy 4 Pro. The soundcard has a hub that is placed outside the computer, and it is connected to the soundcard inside the computer via two AD_LINK inputs/outputs. The soundcard is also connected to the switch (that was included in the speaker system), in front of the switch (where it says "from pc, input"). The front of the switch is also connected to the sub via something called "To speaker, Output". It is connected to the sub via the audio inputs. The back of the switch is connected to the decoder (DDTS-100, included in the speaker system). The input of the decoder I have used is called "Audio Outputs". The switch is set to "PC - Audio". Both the sub and the decoder is connected to a power supply unit.
My problem is that I can't hear a thing trough the speakers. I can hear sound trough my headphones when I connect the headphones to the sound hub (included with the soundcard). But when I connect my headphones to the decoder, I can't hear a thing.
Can somebody please help me, I really want my new speaker system to work..
Thank you in advance!
Mathias

Just click on the one you want to use, and then click on "Set Default", and then you can use it. Here's a hint for you, you do that and your current default (Line-in 3) will become "Currently unavailable". Vista only allows one input and one output device to be acti've at a time, hence why they all say unavailable.

Tnx

I was also curious it there is an AD_LINK to AD_EXT cable/converter etc.... I have an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum but the I/O Bay was broken and someone gave me an external I/O Hub (SB0290) - I would love to be able to use it

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 Pro - Line In 3 Prob

I have been having a huge issue with getting my Line In 3 to play audio from my Television and/or my DVD player. I sent my first Audigy 4 Pro back because I could not get the Line In 3 to work. Now I am having the same problem on a completely different sound card. My DVD player's audio out work just fine when they are hooked into the TVs in, but when I hook the DVD outs to the external hub's Line In 3 nothing comes out of my computer speakers. I am so frustrated with this sound card. Any help would be grateful.

- are all other features working well in Ext. Hub (powerful enough PSU or is the additional power for the A4 PCI card taken from shared floppy power cable))?
I've only ever used the Line-In and the Headphone jack on the front, they work fine. There is a red light coming out of the Optical out on the front (expected). The card does have a 4 pin connection and it is plugged in.
- have you tried w/o other peripherals connected into Hub (just one through line-in 3)?
Yes, same results (but ... see below).
- have you installed latest drivers/software updates for your card?
Where can I find the latest drivers at? I hate to download and install the wrong ones.
- have you tried by uninstalling the CT software suite (least Surround Mixer) and control I/Os through Windows Play/Recording Controls (start run... mmsys32 and mmsys32 /r)
I have not tried to uninstall anything and I type mmsys32 in the command prompt and get an error that it can not find the program.
Update: I turned my computer off last night and turned it back on this morning, plug my RCA cables into my external hub and get a steady low frequency "buzz".

Audigy 4 Pro - No Midi in Audio Mixd

I have an Audigy 4 Pro, which came with Cubase LE.
In my recordings, I have midi tracks which have to be turned to Audio before the tracks can be added to the Audio mixdown. Cubase only makes one reference to this in the help files which says you must connect the output to the input on the sound card - which I suppose means that I would have to use a Y cable to route back to my mixer unless I wanted to unhook some of my speakers? Sounds like a hassle.
Or is there some way to do this in software with Audio HQ? Use "What you hear setting" perhaps?
I've looked at length through the help files and can't find any direct reference to this.
It's a bit frustrating. Right now what I'm doing is saving the midi tracks, and then using ITUNES to convert them to Audio files, which is also a hassle.
Anybody else run into this?
Any suggestions appreciated - VelvetElvis

Well I just got an email back from Creative Support and they reccomend I use Windows Media PLayer (or any other of the programs that do work) instead if it works 00%. I seriously hope they update the Entertainment Centre to actually work, I feel I am losing value of my Pro product very quickly as the remote now only has the function of changing the volume, not very satisfactory.
I also feel it's rather ridiculous that they recommend I use another program than Creative's, it's a bit of a cop out, and they should really work on fixing the program soon.
If the remote control could control Windows Media Player 0 when WMP0 is in fullscreen then that would be great, or if the remote control could be changed to be like a media keyboard in that it controls any media application rather than just controls that are visible it would be fantastic. Also if the power button could be altered to start an application then that would be great.
Anyway creative, update the entertainment centre to fix this issue please!Message Edited by CrimsonCleaver on 04-03-20062:6 PM

Audigy 4 Pro Optical In Probl

Hey everyone,
I've had an Audigy 4 Pro for about a year now and it's an amazing piece of hardware, but I seem to be having some kind of problem.
I recently had an HD cable box put in my room and I want to connect the optical out port on the cable box to the optical in port on the Audigy 4 I/O box. I made the connections and the optical cable is lit and sending a signal, but I'm not getting any sound out of my speakers. I went into the volume mixer and turned on "S/PDIF-In"?and still nothing. Are there any other settings I need to check? I checked some of the other inputs on the I/O box and they seem to work so I don't understand why this one won't. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

What seems to be a problem is the I/O box is powered on, but not connecting to the card. The power light is on, but the volume knob isn't doing anything and the extra inputs aren't recognized. I didn't touch any of the cables, and they're all secure so I have no idea what's going on.

Audigy 4 Pro - I/O Hub does not get any po

Hello all,
I purchased an Audigy 4 Pro a few days ago and I cannot get the external hub to power on.
This somewhat sumarizes what I tried so far:
. Uninstalled all drivers and software of my old Soundblaster Li've 5. Platinum
2. Also removed all entries of the old soundcard from Device Manager
3. Powered down the PC fully, took out the Li've 5. and powered it back on and logged on to my Windows XP (SP2).
4. Just to be sure before installing the drivers for the Audigy 4 Pro I cleaned out the cookies, temporary internet files, all other Temp folders, the Prefetch folder and also ran a program to clean the registry.
5. De-activated my Norton AntiVirus Corporate Edition's Real-time protection, it's services and also my ZoneAlarm Pro from starting up the next time I reboot Windows.
6. Powered down the PC again, took the power cable out, made sure there was no power whatsoever left and carefull inserted the Audigy 4 Pro card in an empty PCI slot.
7. Connected the larger AD_Link to the card, then to the hub
8. Connected the smaller AD_Link to the card, then to the hub
9. Finally connected the power convertor cable to a free systems power unit
0. Double-checked the entire hardware setup a few times and power the PC back on
. Windows XP detected and installed the OHCI Compliant IEEE 394 Host Controller and the 394 Net Adapter
2. Canceled to proceed looking for a driver when it found the Audigy 4 Pro card
3. Installed the drivers and applications that came with the Audigy 4 Pro. Everything went smooth - no error messages during the installation.
4. Rebooted PC after prompting to do so.
5. With ZoneAlarm and my Norton Antivirus de-activated, all drivers and programs installed properly the external I/O hub does NOT get any power. I also made sure to check this with the remote control.
I have ofcourse no sound coming out that hub when plugging in my headphone and also cannot use my microphone.
6. I ran the Diagnostics program that was installed automatically with the other Creative applications: It claims there aren't any problems.
7. Powered down the PC again, checked all connectors, powered the PC up again: Same problem... no power.
8. Installed the latest 4-in- drivers found on viaarena.com: Same problem
9. Uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers and applications: Same problem
20. Uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers and applications after taking out all other PCI cards and placing the Audigy 4 Pro card into an other PCI slot: Same problem
2. Set my BIOS to factory defaults: Same problem
22. Formatted the PC and reinstalled Windows XP (SP) with every update thinkable... Same problem
23. Formatted the PC AGAIN ( ! ) and reinstalled Windows (SP2) with updates .... Same problem
Another problem: Sent a detailed e-mail to Creative Support Europe.... Still NO respons after 48+ hours.
Anyone else should have a solution I would appreciate trying out, or if all fails I'll go for a Terratec model.
Thanks in advance!

Amazing, I got mine about 3 days ago and have been pulling my hair out trying to resolve the same problem. I have checked power connections, reinstalled drivers. I think something is wrong with the box. I tried to call support yesterday, which was a Saturday, but they aren't available til Monday. I guess I will call them Monday. Let me know if you find anything out in the mean time.
Thanks

AUDIGY 4 PRO PROBLEM WITH I/O

NEW MEMBER Just purchased a AUDIGY 4 PRO sound card, card works GREAT, however the external I/O hub which is connected via a multiconductor cable from the sound card, appears to be
DEAD, no LED indicator light come on;, when the headset is pluged into the I/O hub, the speaker audio is
NOT mute. The instructions are not TOO clear as to how to test the I/O hub. In summary I think I have a
DEFECTIVE cable or I/O hub! Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks [email][email protected]][email protected][/url]
SENT 700EST27JAN06

HI DAN Yes, the card is working properly, but the external I/O hub which has various jacks and controls is not showing any signs of life. I think there is some type of LED's to indicate something, but they do NOT light. A multiconductor cable is used to connect from the rear of the sound card to the external I/O hub. I have reconnected this cable several times, so as to reduce the chance of a poor connection, but NO luck. Thanks for your suggestions, best regards **bleep**:smileyindifferent:

Sound Blaster Audigy 4 pro optical In probl

Hello, I recently purchase a audigy 4 pro, My current setup is 3 wires(green, black, orange) going from my Logitech X-530 5. speakers to the audigy 4 sound card, from there, the AD_Link and Ad_Link2(firewire) going to the Audigy's External I/O, now when i Plug in any toslink cable from the *Optical In* port to my game system(xbox, xbox 360, dvd player, ps2), there is no sound. but when i use the standard A/v cable(red/white) and plug it into the back of the external I/O(Line IN 3), the sound works. Everything else also seems to be working fine. any idea what could be the problem? also note, that i'm kinda new at this, so sorry if i dont fully understand your reply.

What seems to be a problem is the I/O box is powered on, but not connecting to the card. The power light is on, but the volume knob isn't doing anything and the extra inputs aren't recognized. I didn't touch any of the cables, and they're all secure so I have no idea what's going on.
