Audigy 4 pro sound card HELL please advise!!!

hi all,
right i'll TRY to keep it simple!.....
BEFORE my (recently brand new) hard dri've died and caused me all sorts of probs (and ?300) my soundcard was fine it was :
windows 7
audigy 4
cubase 4
daniel k's drivers (i think OR it was the one that came with the card)
with this i HAD the option of acti've X driver OR creative asio (used this as was much much better)
SINCE it died i've tried everything for days and days of hell to get this driver on, heres the symptoms:
using the CD that came with the audigy it takes 45 mins to load and then tells me there is NO sound card fitted (tried this 3 or 4 times)..
i physically took t?he card out (twice) and it made no difference and still didnt recognise any card fitted.
i've had to system restore a few times to get it 'see' ANY driver.....i've also downloaded some drivers but same symptoms as above.
using the acti've x the latency is a prob though i have adjusted it to make it work BUT am thinking this is one of the reasons my cubase freezes / crashes / and now makes crackling noise especially when using a reverb vst.
the whole system was great B4 this and i've lost 3 or 4 days and am now at the throwing it out of the window phase.
BEFORE it handled superior drummer as a VST and midi / audio files + reverbs all at the same time NO problem.
the current set up is almost identical and in fact a tickle better than B4 so WHY wont it see a sound card ?when trying a different dirver?
HELP! Si in Brighton.

ta...yes it does.
works (almost) fine with the acti've X driver, apart from telling me line/mic is NOT available....spent all day (again) trying to get the 3.8 daniel K pack on there.....came back with 'somethings wrong' meessage each time.
it just baffles me that my hard dri've
cd rom AND now (maybe) the card all ferk up at exactly the same time!
i recorded afterwards and it was fine for hours.....
cheers si

Audigy 2 sound card problems

I am hoping that someone out there can help me in a crucial situation.
I am using an Audigy 2 sound card with creative 5. speakers.
I also use Adobe Audition to edit, record sessions for my voice-over jobs.
Recently, I attempted to hook up a web cam so that I could see my grand daughter on the west coast.
After hooking up the web cam, I noticed my home studio environment changed drastically. I began having trouble with recording using my microphone through my Macki mixer. I began hearing a continuous hiss that I had never experienced before.
In fact after uninstalling the web cam, and restarting my computer, I got that horrible blue screen on my computer indicating the world was about to end! Smile
Long story short, I was able to finally get my computer back up, but I continue to experience problems recording "clean' audio".
Three things, after reinstalling Creative from disc several times and restarting my computer I receive a window stating Creative Media Source Detector.....Unable to load needed components....Please reinstall the application"
Also, when trying to test my sound hardware I get a message stating...Direct play voice setup..."an error occurred during direct play voice setup....error code 0x80004005
Last but not least I cannot access the "Creative diagnostic feature on my computer. I only get a small window for this feature that will not open up fully and allow me to run a diagnostic test!
I know this is a lot to absorb, but I cannot get anyone from Creative to address my problems because I am out of warranty and therefore not getting any love from this company.
Need your advice and or guidance on this.
Please respond when time allows.

Re: Audigy 2 sound card problems? use add/remove programs and remove all creative software and drivers, then do the same for your web cam and unplug it
restart your pc
download and install [url="http://downloads.guru3d.com/Guru3D---Driver-Sweeper-%28Setup%29-download-655.html" rel="nofollow">driver sweeper[/url] and use it to clean up any left over creative bits and bobs and restart your pc when it asks you to
now download and install the [url="http://support.creative.com/Products/product_list.aspx?catID=&CatName=Sound+Blaster" rel="nofollow">latest audigy drivers[/url]
once your back in to windows try recording something and see if everything's back to normal
now reinstalling your web cam but don't reinstall using the cd that came with it
find the manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers
install cd's best avoided simply because the software and drivers they contain are typically the initial release versions, and so potentially very old
and i think we can all agree that old, buggy drivers can be a real pain

Updated Audigy 2 Sound Card Drivers.... now speakers don't mu

I have a Sound Blaster Audigy 2. I updated the drivers for the first time in 3 years yesterday. I'm now using the Driver set: 5.2.4.96.
However, the bad news is that when I plug in my headphones to the USB port, the sounds still comes over the speakers and not over the headphones. The microphone works and I can hear my friends on ventrilo. But games sounds come through the speakers. I checked my settings in the Audio HQ and 'mute speakers when using headphones' is checked. Also, in order for my headset to work at all with ventrilo, I had to default sound device to my headphones and not to the sound card.
Prior to the new drivers, everything worked perfectly. After the drivers install, I'm having problems. Any thoughts as to what is going on?
Thanks.Message Edited by boojiboy on 04-6-200703:43 PM

Last try... bump #3. One additional piece of info, after working on and off on this for over a week, I'm suspicious that the previous driver set didn't not complete uninstall and thus, I have some sort of of driver conflict. I've followed the FAQs to the letter on uninstall and reinstall procedures. No luck.

Professional DJ Sound Card Advice, Please

I am converting my DJ and Karaoke system to my PC using PCDJ software. I am in need of an external USB port sound card which can be attached to my equalizer and amp. However, I will need 2 microphone inputs. Has anyone used one of Creative's sound cards for this specific purpose? If so, your advice would be appreciated. Sound quality is of the utmost importance also. Thanks!

Thank you for all your suggestions - I guess am hoping I can find another smaller audio interface to use alongside my Apogee Duet and then set up an aggregate device in the Mac... though not sure if that will be a stable/good solution. Am doing research now to find out, if not will probably opt for one of the interfaces you've all suggested, with 4 outputs minimum - hopefully a second hand one to keep costs down.

Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro/Sound card quest

Hi all,
Since the I/O box on the Platinum Pro series has no rca out connection, does anybody know if I can use the lines out on the card at the same time the I/O is plugged into it's
Thanks,
Dale

Decrip,
The lineouts on the card are functioning as long as digital output only is not enabled. So this should work.

Samplitude 2496 and Audigy 4 sound card problem any suggestions please

Hello
I have a problem. I have installed Audigy 4. All looks good. I am editing music in a software called Samplitude 2496. But I simply cannot playback. I beleive Samplitude needs ASIO support to be able to playback. A window pops up when ever I try to playback saying
"Cannot open waveform output device 'SB Audigy 4[D800]'!
"The specified format is not support or cannot be translated. Use the capabilities function to determine the supported format".
I cannot find any ASIO in my system yet Audigy 4 says it has ASIO2 support. Does this mean Audigy software has the ASIO or does this mean I need to download the ASIO for the Samplitude playback.
Any suggestions most welcome urgently.
Thank you Philip

If you have installed Creative bundled drivers for your card, ASIO drivers are installed already. Check on Samplitude Audio settings, if you see those drivers listed there -> NOTE:! you need to select ASIO 24/96 driver for 24/96 data. AFAIK, other (two) CT ASIO drivers supports 6/48 only (least this is the situation w/ Audigy 2).
You can find more information on ASIO @

MacBook Pro Sound Card issue

Hello everyone,
I own a Early June 2011 15" MacBook Pro to assist me in my work as an audio engineer.
In spite of some Airoport card/cable issues the MacBook is doing it's job better than I could've wished for,
but at the moment (just a couple of months out of warranty) I'm having an issue;
The audio coming out of the mini jack output is very distorted and not usably.
It all happened after an evening working in a studio:
The connected minijack cable was accidentally pulled out very rough and this activated the digital output option on the MacBook.
After re connecting the normal mini jack cable everything seemed to work fine and the I've been playing music trough this same output for the rest of the evening.
The next morning (after the machine has been on sleep mode) the audio, coming out of the minijack output, was very distorted.
The internal speaker works fine, though.
I did a lot of research on the internet and tried a couple of things I found there.
At a certain moment I found a step by step guide to remove some iTunes file in the OSX library.
After doing this and restarting the machine 1 side of the stereo output seemed oke, but the other was still distorted.
As soon as I dragged my balance slider around both of the sides were distorted again.
This proves, though, that it isn't a hardware issue.
I've tried a combo update and updated my Mac to Mountain Lion but it still isn't solved.
Any help is much appreciated!
Karim

First make sure you are using the latest drivers...
http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/Download/Eleven-Rack-Drivers
However the latest ones are not yet confirmed as working to OS X 10.10.3 so you may need to wait for an update from Avid....
Test and see....
Note: It's always a good idea not to update OS X or Logic Pro until after you have checked if there are working drivers for your external hardware first.. especially, in my personal opinion... in the case of Avid hardware drivers which are know to lag behind in development..

Adobe Flash Pro Sound Errors. Please Help.

I have been working on a kinetic type project for my Electronic Arts II class and an issue with the sound has come up. Every time I go to preview, the work I have done the sound from the song I have been using becomes misaligned. When I go to realign the text to match the lyrics of the song, it seems to work fine. If I preview it all lines up, but when I continue with the project to line up other parts of the animation, the whole thing becomes misaligned again. I have each line of the song separated into different layers and am using motion tweens for movement and to fade the text in and out. I also have the layer containing the song locked to prevent accidental editing. Despite these precautions to prevent accidental rearrangement, the animation never seems to line up for more than two or three playthroughs. This has become a great irritation because the due date is rapidly approaching and because of this error, I have been unable to get very far, and what little work I do have has been ruined. My teacher and I have done what we could to fix it, but have not been able to figure out this problem. Please help me. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

if your sound is attached to a timeline, assign its sync property to stream.
also, set your stage frame rate at the sound's rate and export your sound with the best option selected.

I have tried several different power connections. Now I have connected a cable directly from the power supply unit.
Another problem that I have is that different games freezes my system after a while. I have tried World of warcraft and Guild wars and they both freeze after 5 to 60 minutes.
I had Audigy ZS 2 before without any problems at all and did a clean install with the new card.
The card is at IRQ 20.
I have a ATI Radeon X800 to. Is that the problem ?
Any suggestions ?

Any SYNC APPs that allow for specific file synchronization for the MacBook Pro??? Please advise..

Any recommendations for a sync app that allows for specific file synchronization rather than just a complete back-up program? I want to be able to synchronize certain files only on multiple external hard-drives?
FYI:[[Using a 15" MacBook Pro on Mac OSX Version 10.6.7, Processor 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Memory 4GB RAM 1067MHz DDR3]]

I'm pretty sure you should keep Boot Camp 2.1, Scorpio.
I'm not sure about the driver only or complete reinstall question though.
Probably the best place for an answer to this would be over in the BootCamp "Installation and Storage" forum at http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=237 where the "specialists" in this sort of matter hang out.
Post a link to this thread over there as well, so that people will know what has already been suggested.

Sound Card for Macbook (Black) 2.4 Ghz?

Sorry for my weak IT knowledge but can anyone please help me determine my sound card make/model? Is it the Realtek audio or is that just the driver/codec? Any info would be much appreciated. I have the lastest/most current Black Macbook with the 250GB HD & 2GB Memory. I am trying to determine a minor issue with using a PC-Only compatible recording software on the Windows XP partition. A better question may be, how can I or do I need to update the sound driver when using the Windows XP OS via Bootcamp? I have already installed the Leopard driver discs successfully (including the sound driver) on the XP OS partition. The sound works/functions correctly on the XP partition. Just wondering if there is a hardware issue between my PC software and the sound card? Please advise.
thanks!
Joey

Adobe Audition does not work together with Audigy sound cards.

Dear friends, pleasae, help. I use Adobe Audition sound processing program, my sound cars are of the Audigy line. Recording control does not work, a known bug, says Adobe. Play control works fine, but I'd like to make quality recordings. Something is not O.K.with the ASIO system, I figure. The case is the same with PCI as well as PCMCIA Audigy products.
Tell me, please:
-Is there a patch or workaround to fix this problem?
-If not Audigy, what sound cards then?
Getting help from Adobe isn't quite simple, but maybe, Audigy fans know better.
[ordas]

If you mean the recording source/level control in Surround Mixer (etc.) ... it is not working because of it's bypassed by the ASIO driver ... so, it's not a bug but normal behaviour. You just adjust the recording level in Audition (or in any other software). Normally you need to select
- "AnalogMix()" input port option for analog line sources like Line-In, Audio CD, AUX-In, etc.
- (Mix L and Mix R are equal w/ the famous "What U Hear" ...
- S/PDIF for digital input
- etc.. here are some reading on Creative Audigy ASIO matter -
http://forums.creative.com/creativel...essage.id=1726
Remember also set monitoring properly in software so you can hear what you're recording. This is normally set through a tiny 'speaker icon' found in every tracks header ('settings options').
BTW, if you check the "Wave" source channel/slider when running in ASIO mode, you'll find out that it won't work either (it's all the same if you mute it). This is normal behaviour too, even when working in WDM/KS (Kernel streaming mode (or w/ Asio4All (which uses WDM/KS functionality))) ... it's just because of the kmixer is being bypassed ...

Satellite Pro L10: sound card does not support Windows 7

Hi
i have a Satellite Pro L10 so i installed a Windows 7 on my system but my laptop can not support Windows 7.
I need update of sound card for Windows 7.
The model of sound car is Conexant CX20468-31 AC97 Audio Sound Card.
Please help me

Hi buddy
What to say first of all you will not get official drivers for this notebook for Win 7 or Vista.
This notebook is oldie and I doubt the drivers will be released.
Reading through this forum threads Ive noticed that most of the user use the Vista driver on Win 7 OS.
Maybe you should google for the Conexant AC97 Vista driver and should try a Vista driver on Win 7
Good luck
