Audigy 4 pro headphone volume cont

Hello,
I really can't seem to find the HEADPHONE VOLUME CONTROL......
On the package and on the creative site it says there's a headphone connection with volume control on the external box. I really can't find one, only a mic/line-in volume control and a master volume control. There is no seperate volume control for the headphoe output is there?
I lower teh volume of my headphone output, not my speakers, so if anyone knows where the headphone volume control is (as creative says there is) please let me know!

From another post, you have plugged your headphones into the line out for the speakers.
I darsay that as you have speculated on the other post, the sound card things that the headphones are part of the speaker syste and not headphones at all, hence the volume control issue.

  • [solved]Audigy 2 zs headphone volume

    I have a soundblaster audigy 2 zs soundcard.  I just bought a special cable that allowed me to connect the sound card to my front panel mic/headphone plugs. (creative used a weird connector that is pin compatible with ac97, but no ac97 connector would fit it!)  I've played around with the volume settings in alsamixer, but I cannot separate the headphone volume from the main (analog) volume controller. 
    I would like to have separate volume settings for the main speakers and for my headphones.  Alsamixer actually has an Item called "headphones" but it doesn't seem to do anything.  Has anyone gotten this to work?  If this isn't possible, can someone recommend a soundcard capable of this?  The more I learn about this soundcard, the more I realize that Creative put out a very strange and impractical product.  Back in the day it seemed like soundblaster was the card to get if you ran linux.  Is this still true?

    LOL.  This is a nonissue for me since I discovered that my headphones actually have their own volume control!

  • Headphones volume controller not working on new macbook pro

    Hello,
    I recently purchased a new macbook pro (15" late 2013) and just noticed that when plugging my headphones (beats solo HD), the volume controller in the headphones doesn't change the volume of the laptop. The headphone controller works fine on my iphone, and on my older macbook pro (2010, running on mavericks too). I checked the Sound settings under System Preferences, and under the Input tab, the new macbook doesn't recognize the headphone microphone either, which my old macbook pro still does. In terms of sound, the headphones work well, and under the Output tab, the Headphones appear, as normal. The sound can also be adjusted using the keyboard keys and the volume adjust on screen, but not with the headphones volume controller, which seems odd to me.
    Is there a way to fix this?
    Thanks for your time!
    Melissa

    Hi,
    I also noticed this... when I use my old earphones (the white Apple ones that come with the iphone) on my new laptop, everything works fine, including the microphone, volume control, skipping songs... etc. But my other headphones are not recognised at all, just as audio output and nothing else.
    My old macbook, however, still fully recognizes both my old earphones and my "troublesome" Beats headphones, even after the latest system update, as does my iphone
    So I still don't know what is happening.
    Just telling you this so that you make 100% sure your earphones are faulty before discarding them!

  • Every time I plug in my headphones into my Macbook Pro, my volume control buttons don't work.

    Every time I plug in my headphones into my Macbook Pro, my volume control buttons don't work. Even after I unplug my headphones they don't work, they get stuck on the level of volume it was at when I plugged in the headphones. I can control the volume if I go to system preferences and do it that way, but that is such a pain. Also, in order to get the buttons to work again I have to completely restart my computer which is also a pain! What should I do, or can do, to fix the problem?

  • Audigy 4 Pro - Traktor - Headphone set

    Hi,
    Can somebody please help me.
    I've treated my self to a new audigy 4 pro, but cannot seem to configure Traktor dj studio so that I can monitor my cue points using the headphone socket.
    Whichever way I set up the headphones always plays the main source only ie the same as my speakers.
    Surely you should be able to select which channel the headphones monitor ?
    Many thanks,
    Ian

    Hello, I?m Daniel.
    I have the same problem with audigy 2 zs paltinum pro.
    But what i wanted to ask you is in which way do you configure the audio setup in Reaktor so you can use the rear entry to pre-listening?
    Thnx in advance.

  • Audigy 4 Pro - Trouble increasing/decreasing the volume using remote (RM 1500)

    NAudigy 4 Pro - Trouble increasing/decreasing the volume using remote (RM 500) As the title says, I'm having troubles with increasing/decreasing the sound volume using the remote controller unit - RM 500 on my Audigy 4 Pro.
    The sound volume inc/dec works just fine if I do it via the keyboard buttons, Audigy's External Hub or any other "software method", except when i'm using the remote.
    If i press + or - on the remote, only the left channel reacts.
    I'm using the latest drivers/apps (via AutoUpdate) over a fresh Win XP Pro / Audigy drivers (from the original CD).
    It does not have this strange behavior with the drivers/apps from the original CD, but only after installing the updated drivers. The reason i'm not keeping the original drivers is that a few years ago, when the original CD drivers were the only ones available, they caused the BSOD to my ex-system several times. It was something related to the fact I was using (and I still am) 4 DDR memory bars...
    I would really need some help on fixing this issue.
    Thanks in advance!

    R Thanks for the fast answer Loi.
    I downloaded the "ECUP_XPPCAPPBETA_US_3_40_2.exe" file but at installation start it gives me the message:
    "Setup is unable to detect a supported product on your system. Please ensure that your product is properly installed before running this Setup program. Setup will exit."
    PS: I just tried to install this beta app over the one i already have installed.

  • Audigy 4 Pro Hub probl

    Hi
    I have just got an Audigy 4 pro. Everything seems to be working fine except parts of the hub. At the moment the Remote Control, volume, headphones and cmss etc dont seem to be working. But the other posrts like the Firewire, optical, and spidf etc are all working.
    So is this a problem with the hub or have I done something wrong?
    Thanks

    Well having spoken to Technical support for about an hour, they told me it could because my onboard sound card hadnt been disabled. Well I've disabled that and uninstalled its drivers. Then I did a clean install of the audigy4. Still the same problem. For some reason, the headphone volume slider in the surround mixer is greyed out and the isnt any headphone tab in the Audio console. Having been told that this is Creatives best product and "it cant have anything wrong with it", I am beggining to wonder just what is going on? I've completly disabled my old onboard sound, done a clean install and still the headphones/volume/remote etc arent working. Is there anything else I can try?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 vs X-Fi Extrememusic (also can it use Audigy 4s I/O bo

    I have both of these new in the box and am debating which I should install. This is primarily for gaming but the fact that the headphone jack is not accessible without a splitter really in the X-fi bothers me. I do have Logitech 350 usb headphones but the sound doesnt seem to be that great compared to my Sennheissers. So is the X-fi that much better than the Audigy 4 Pro. Tech specs mean nothing if the sound quality isnt truly noticeable. SO before I open one I figured I would ask. Also does anyone know if I can use the I/O box from the Audigy for with an A link cable on the X-Fi extreme musc. You would think in theory it would work since its mostly just a connection unit but rather know for sure since I may just open them both and di it that way. I own the Audigy 4 for less than the I/O add on is for the X-fi. Thanks for any help!Chris
