Audigy 4 pro sta

I am having issues with my new Audigy 4 pro emitting static. Sometimes it's really loud, and other times a low static hum. I have disabled the on board sound, changed the pci slot, where the internal card sits, uninstalled all of the software, and re-loaded.
I have an Asus A8V Deluxe gig ram, Nvidia geforce 6800GT 256MG AMD 64 3500.
Any Help would greatly be appreciated.

stacman70 :?Maybe try going into : Control Panel>Sound?See if you can locate "input 3" there, first check in the "Recording" tab. Set Default if you find it.

When Creative get arround to releasing ?drivers for Win 7 will it give me the CMS software and THX Console?
If not will they be releasing software as well?
Thanks?

Kingtech,
I would suggest making sure that the Li've! 24bit is cleanswept and then also cleansweeping out the Audigy 2 ZS and then reinstalling. Here is the cleansweeping instructions:

>Learn the M audio!!!! <
I KNEW IT!!! LOL!
I just KNEW someone was going to say that. Yeah, $400 and a year later it is sitting in a drawer. I don't have the time. The "manual" is even worse than Creative's "user guide". It is assumed if you spend $400 you have a clue. I'm a Guitarist! Not a keyboard player. We walk into the studio, plug in, play our parts, get paid, then go out for pizza.
It took me long enough to figure out Acid, Waves plug-ins and T-Racks before I finally had some quality production values. I can't speed another year learning M-Audio's firewire "controls".
Come on. Someone must know what is up with the "value".
Do I need to reinstall the drivers? What?

Help -- Getting my Audigy Pro 4 RM-1500 working in windows 7 X64

@Help -- Getting my Audigy Pro 4 RM-500 working in windows 7 X64. To anyone who can help
?I used the latest version of daniel_k's most excellent drivers to install?my Audigy Pro 4 ?(with external box) on a Windows 7 X64 operating system and all the audio devices I have tested so far have worked great.
However, I can't seem to get the rm-500 remote working. I have installed the lasted (0/30) version of mediasouce5;? and the drivers for my remote do not seem to be included.
The closest I can come is the beta version of the vista entertainment center which does install a remote control settings configuator. However, it doesn't seem to recognice the Audigy Pro 4's version of the rm-500, even though it is listed as an option. I get a "can't find an ir device" error.
Any suggestions for me as to how I can get it working, if it all?
Much Thanks!

D When I was beta testing Windows 7, I had the same problem with my remote for X-Fi Platinum Fatalty Champion. I discovered a program called Intelliremote (just Google it) that worked great. It works with Creative remotes. I found for some reason the beta driver of entertainment center, in compatibility mode, works with the final version of Win 7. I hope this hel

Audigy 2 ZS Platnum Pro Multitrack recording probl

I hope I am in the right forum. This one looks pretty close.
I have the Audigy 2ZS Platnum Pro in a brand new Compaq Prisario w/AMD (64) CPU running Windows XP w/52 megs of RAM. I bought this card new a couple of years ago and got frustrated trying to learn to multitrack with it. I recently installed the card in the above mentioned computer and went back to trying to learn to use this device. When setting the driver in Cubasis VST 4.0 I used the driver that came with my Audigy card like the instructions say to do but it caused my "sample rate" to be set to 9600khz. The instructions say to run at 44.khz to avoid problems but that is not an option with the Audigy driver. I tried several different recordings before I tried a full song. Things were going fairly well till I used the Audigy Pro driver, I started recording and my computer went wako on me then reset to the command prompt and began rebooting but it was like it was in some strange loop or something. It was hard to get it turned off and then reboot the computer. This happened a couple of times. I quit trying to use the Audigy driver and and tried all the other drivers listed in the audio setup program. I actually got a nice recording with my midi piano and a vocal track somewhere in all that crap. I ran into problems when mixing down though. All that came out was the vocal. Like the midi tract wasn't even there. I followed the tutorial word for word but things just didn't work out. I'm still trying to figure that oue out. Since the mix down went wrong I am having what I think is called "fall out". When I record my piano (midi) the play back sounds like I was playing irratic. Like I had hicups or something. And that is before even adding any other instruments. I tried all I know to do with my limited knowledge of recording software and ended up doing a "recovery" of the oporating sustem in hope of setting whatever went wrong back to factory settings. That didn't help. I upgraded from the factory 52 megs ram to gig, that hasn't helped. I am starting to loose my temper and that is not a good thing. Too much expensice stuff in my room. If someone can please help I will be forever in your debt. Lastly I already did the setting the processor to "back ground processing". Thank you. Jeff

I think, it's best if you use Creative bundled ASIO drivers @ 6-bit/48kHz 'resolution' (even your card perhaps supports 24-bit/96kHz w/ ASIO -> is the Cubases capable for this).
Depending on your CPU performance, you should keep the ASIO I/O latency setting under 0ms when recording/monitoring.
Also, remember set your 'project' to same resolution the driver is set to.
When you're recording external sources (through line/mic/etc. ports), use AnalogMix/Line-In n for line source(s) and microphone for microphone recordings (recording/input source selection).
You mentioned reading some tutorial .. was it the same bundled w/ Audigy? If not then, check this thread for more information -

BTW, have you tried w/ other recording software (like demos for sonar, li've, etc.)?

Audigy 4 Pro - Setting as 7.1 disables Line-In 1 & 3

8Audigy 4 Pro - Setting as 7. disables Line-In & 3. Hi,
New poster, as generally I've never needed to post before. Having a strange issue - I've recently updated to the latest audigy pro 4 drivers (I've also tried the beta drivers they've made no difference). I'm on a Win XP 32-bit system.
If I setup my system as a 7. system (which I have a 7. creative inspire T7700), I suddenly lose access to hearing what's coming in on my Line In & 3. 2 seems to be fine. They do not appear on any of my mixers or anything when set to 7..
However if you set the system to ANYTHING else it's suddenly fine again, 6. does the trick (but you can select 2. etc and it's still fine). Shame I have a 7. system...
Should I just hunt down some old drivers as this is very annoying. It doesn't let me record on those inputs either when in 7. although they appear in the recording input selection.
grrr
Thanks for your time and help!

ta...yes it does.

Audigy4 Pro - spdif out without the breakout box possib

Hi there,?I have just gotten an audigy pro 4 but it didnt come with the breakout box. Is it still possible to get spdif out of the card WITHOUT the breakout box?I'm guessing no as the outputs dont look like dual function lineout/digital outs?please tell me im wrong!?cheers?cRuNcHiE?

Good lord, you're right!
Why did your 'Pro' come without the breakout box? That's unfortunate as the card itself has reduced connectivity. You'd have to connect the Digital I/O module to the digital port on the external box which apparently you don't have.
Sorry but you need the box! Either that or dump your Audigy 4 Pro and get the regular model. Or better yet an X-Fi XtremeMusic (?50) -- Same quality as the models 5 times its price, and still does it all in hardware (it's the SAME card, comes without the breakout box, BUT you can attach the digital I/O module to it, unlike the Audigy 4 Pro)
Hope that hel

The Audigy driver.

Brain pick on an old problem of mine (squealing and poping sound when system is under heavy loa

Firstly, my apologies if this post gets double posted as I am on a barely functional dsl connection? It get?s flaky when it rains which is only periodically for about 2 months of the year?
I was wondering if someone in the know might be able to clue me in as to any fixes for this VERY old issue of mine.
I have already searched a bit and all I found was the squeal and crash issue, mine is similar but not identical.
History:
I have been a creative card user since the first SoundBlaster came out (and jammed it into a 286 system). Well I think it was the first since I was new to computers then?
Anyway I have had an SB, SB6, SB6AWE, SB Li've, and now SB li've Audigy 2 ZS. Pretty sure I had an audigy pro card (a family member was upgrading so I grabbed theirs for cheap).
Since around the audigy series of cards I have been working on friends and family member?s (and their friends/family) on the side. Though these days I am not a happy camper.
Problem:
I am having this problem that I have now learned to li've with where when I am playing sounds (game or music) and the system gets under some type of heavy load I get LOUD squealing and popping sounds (mostly the squealing kind). The sound can be in excess of my volume settings and I tend to wear headphones (I can't believe I wasn?t deafened the first few times and occasionally recently when I forget, actually I have been having trouble understanding people lately, need to get my ears checked I guess).
Heavy load defined:-On occasion copying files from one dri've to another (usually large files in this case).
-Always when copying files over a network to or from my system.
-in few cases of a network heavy or hard dri've heavy application (lan games anyone?) ? Mostly when I am hosting.
NOTE: for the most part the card works fine in games as I usually don?t do something else while playing a game, usually.
For how long?:
This is hard for me to place. I remember wanting to upgrade to 2k when it came out but I heard from friends that had tried to upgrade that the drivers for the sb6 awe or any other creative card were garbage so I delayed upgrading to win2k till I got my first + ghz system and didn?t have much choice. I have been dealing with this since (also at the time I had an audigy or perhaps just a li've, hard to place).
Steps to solve this (not resolved yet):
I have tried several different configurations, this problem has been present on both an amd and 2 (or more) different intel chi
ps.
The problem has not been present on non-creative products under 2k (yes I had a card made by the company that creative bought out a while back), driver updates have done nothing or made it worse (though recent drivers seem to be a little better).
A while back (on the amd machine) I tried dealing with creative via e-mail and got canned responses of things I had already tried (and had noted in my request for help that I had already tried them) even as far as completely clean installs and as I mentioned different systems.
I am now using completely different hardware besides the sound card. Swapping out for other soundcards doesn?t help if they are creative cards (I even went as far as trading someone else identical cards to no avail).
I have even tried windows xp to see if that would help, nope.
The only solution to this so far has been not to use the card and for a while now I have been suggesting to friends and family to just use the internal on mobo sound instead of an add on creative card.
I have even had someone else build me a system (as apposed to my building it) just in case I was doing something weird, no help.
That and just not listening to anything when I am about to put my computer under a heavy load (and making sure to disconnect the phones just in case since sometimes it happens without sound playing, RARELY).
Current system specs:intel p4 2.66 ghz
Audigy 2 zs (platinum if memory serves, pretty sure here)
Geforce 6800gt
gig of ram
(I would have to hunt around for other details like mobo)
I have to say all this effort to get one companies hardware to work just sucks and what sucks more is I have no choice on the market, there is only one noteworthy sound card company when it comes to gaming, on the plus side there isn?t much for me to look forward to in gaming these days? I don?t like MMOs (if I can't play in on a lan and just the people on the lan I don?t care for the game much). Halflife (the reason I bought the geforce 6800 gt card) renders the world in such a way as to make me motion sick (just like all the quake games) so that was a waste of money?
The reason that there isn?t much to look forward to in gaming is because I can just disable my creative card and enable my onboard mobo sound and actually hear sound while doing stuff as apposed to garbled deafening screeching sounds that I do now when I forget to stop sound before doing something hard on the system?
Personally this is a last cry for help before I completely give up, I am already a very disenchanted customer hoping there might be some way that I can just listen to music or play games without much worry about sound (the squeals can be heard from across the room from the headsets set at a normal volume so you can imagine what that?s like when they are on my head). I have already, for the last couple of years, been steering people away from creative products in general touting their core product a failure and the people that didn?t believe I just let them sit and listen to some music and then copy a file?
Sound and music are almost more important to me than graphics btw, I have returned games for poor (in my opinion) quality sound tracks (mostly EA products) and have bought games that had good sound/music but poor graphics, heck I still play some old dos games (loom anyone).
Sorry the end there got a little ranty, so anyone have suggestions to the problem section?
One last thing: This took me a while to find and is a bonus to anyone that read all that? For some relati'vely cheap 5. headphones (all I had looked at were over $00) check out the zalman headphones. I have had mine for well over a year now and they still sound just as good as when I got them (even after the ear shattering squeals) and only cost me $50) They are sturdy too (more than I expected), I tend to break headphones within 5 months even some nice $50 stereo ones and these things are still intact. By break I mean break a wire, blow a speaker (squeals) (not literally exploded), snap the headpiece? I can't seem to see a direct link to the speakers so google zalman and headphones?

I don't know if anyone is following this or cares much but I thought I would add some info for those that like me before signing up, simply searched and found some useful tidbits. I also didn't see an option to edit my previous post as most boards I post on have that option to give you an alternati've to double posting...
My system was gigabit however I only had cat5 cable with a megabit switch. Now the switch is gigabit with a cat5e cable and a short distance from me to the hub (same system otherwise). The gigabit is onboard.
I figured I would see a bit speed boost with the new network and indeed in games I did see an improvement on large data transmitting games (American Conquest 4x4 maps in multiplayer LAN) however I expected file transfers between me and other gigabit on mobo cat5e systems would be significantly better. Instead I saw speeds only slightly better than before, around to 2 megabytes per second (using a measurement tool Netstat li've from AnalogueX) and that annoying screeching. At those speeds that might explain why the game was still on the jerky side (a full blown 4x4 map the way we play stresses all computer components but network seemed to be the bottleneck).
My solution to getting fast file transfers? Disabling my sound card by going to device manager right clicking on the Creative SB Audigy 2 ZS item and choosing disable. With an acti've file transfer (large single file rather than small files) I saw about -2 megabytes per second. Within moments of disabling the soundcard I suddenly had about 20 megabytes per second and the estimated time went from 0 minutes to almost finished...
I have to say on an aside that this just adds to my disappointment with this card (and the fact that I have seen similar poor performance in other peoples cards set up by me or not). This continues to cast a light of doubt for me and future creative products. I have to say though that the X-Fi (after fully updating drivers) seems like it *MIGHT* be worth a try? I certainly won?t drop any money into a new creative card (or recommend creative computer equipment) until I see some good proof that problems such as those that plagued this and other creative cards are gone.
Now remembering several posts I read here (and why I am even posting this), I tried disabling some of the features of my nice Creative card (through the various consoles for example the EAX console). Indeed I did see a performance boost (more on that later) as well as death to the squeals (though oddly I did hear that odd electrical interference noise that is supposed to be why onboard audio sucks) and my ears thanked me for that. As for performance my transfer rates went from -2 megabytes per second to a whopping 4-8 megabytes per second (mostly 5). I am definitely leaving those special features disabled for bandwidth intensi've games, after all they are mostly meant for movie and music enhancement (though they make some games sound nice too). I should note that the squeals, though not deafening, are present with other separations in playback, during file transfers. This isn?t much of an issue for me since win2k (and XP) lets me disable and enable my sound card at will without reboots (most of the time) and it has become habit to work around my sound card in this way already.
I know that there is a limited bandwidth on the system bus between all devices however I just have to wonder why my SB Audigy card is using up so much bandwidth when not doing jack... That and I thought that limit was much higher than 20 or so megabytes per second which has me wonder just how much this sound card is wasting (and possibly stressing) in my system when not doing anything. My guess though is the sound card is merely interfering with PCI traffic and not acti'vely using it (though I am not aware of tools to check this). This might explain why I have gotten less than stellar performance out of other hardware though I have yet to try pushing my system with the sound card off yet?
While I still can't recommend creative sound cards to customers at least I can't say that Creative doesn't make anything worth buying anymore (and I used to be a huge creative advocate). The new Zen mini player got pretty good praise (search maximum PC for the review).
Assuming this thread stays open I will add more of my hopefully useful experience with this sound card. If on the other hand it'ss closed up (since there were a few unkind comments) I should have to assume that Creative has completely turned it'ss back on me as well as my current and future customers (unless some other reason for closing is given of course). As it is now I see signs of improvement in the companies? products (which pleases me to no end) though not yet enough to justify my spending or recommendations, besides the portable device, though I have no interest in devices that don?t allow for flash memory expansion I have been asked about them on occasion.

EAX module: DLLML.exe -Application Error in Windows XP shut down proce

This issue has been covered extensi'vely in this forum and I?m currently waiting to Creative Labs technical to give me ?some instructions on this issue but in the meantime I found this article about this issue which said this:
?
?Remote Control System DLL Module Loader. Task installed by the drivers for Creative Audigy Pro 4 and X?Fi range of sound cards. This startup task enables support for the Remote Control which comes with those sound cards.
?
Recommendation :
Dear, Oh Dear, Oh Dear !
?
Those of you who have followed our Task List pages since 2000, or those of you who have bought? The Ultimate Troubleshooter, will recall how once we came across a great quote on the web about the Creative Development Team ? here goes :Rumours that Creative?s driver team is composed entirely .... have not been confirmed !?.
?
Well, the rumours refuse to die away. Creative Labs unparalleledcreativity? and ability to produce either useless (in our opinion) or downright destabilizing background tasks down the years, continues unabated. DLLML.EXE is the latest incarnation. We?re in 2006, eight years on from Windows 98 and, still, we continue to get these occasional nightmares from Creative !
This task?s achievements :? 90% to 00% CPU utilization on some PCs, freezes, extreme slow-downs, incompatibilities with other devices, high memory usage, sound problems on X-Fi cards (!!!), shutdown or boot?up errors, inability to shut down, and the list simply goes on. Even the odd Creative tech will suggestKill that task!
when you call in desperation.
?
If you are lucky enough not to experience any of the above problems (some versions of the drivers are actually problem free ? also, the problems do not occur on all PCs), then do nothing.
?
If, on the other hand, you are one of the unlucky ones, then disable this task as follows :
?
a)? Disable it on the Startups? tab of TUT.
?
b)? Click the big green? APPLY? button to may your changes stick.
?
c)? Reboot your PC and check if the task stops coming up. If it does, then all is fine, otherwise make the disabling process more comprehensi've by first right?clicking on this task on the Tasks? tab of TUT and terminating it.
?
d)? Next, switch to the Startups? tab, right?click on this task and choose? Rename the file that this Startup points to. All you will be missing is the ability to use the Remote Control. 
?
I honestly remove some of the comments about Creative Labs technical team due to fears that I would get banned from this forum before I even posted one thread ? laughed out loud.
If anybody from Creative Labs or any other knowledgeable persons are reading this particular post can you confirm whether these steps mentioned above a), b) or c) are the right things to do in the case of this issue?
Thanking you in advance Optical0

IIRC the problem was there were two of the same files and it was trying to read both causing an error.
Renaming worked in solving the problem. Forgive but it's been awhile since I fixed it. From what I remember renaming fixed the problem though.

Sound Popping & Cracking - Creative Is Not The Prob

Alright, so I've been having the problems with cracking & popping for at least four years now. The problem is not the audio cards, it's a problem with the nForce chipsets. I had this problem first with my Asus Motherboard, an A8N SLI Deluxe. I tried two different video cards, the Creative X-Fi Audigy Pro, the Barracuda AC- and an external Soundblaster Li've USB audio device. I had the cracking & popping problem on all three of the audio devices. My new computer is an Asus Striker Extreme, using the nForce 680i Chipset, not the nForce 4 Chipset which my old A8N had. But the problem still continues with the popping. I have an XFi Platinum Extreme on this system, and the problem still continues. I tried to troubleshoot the problem by using an HT Claro Omega Plus+ and recieved the same problems. This problem is not with the Creative Audio Cards. It is either a problem with Asus motherboards, or the nForce chipsets. If there is anyone out there who is experiencing this problem, and is wondering why this is happening or has had the same issue and found a fix please respond here. The original thread posted by the Creative Moderator is not really read anymore by anyone since no one cares to read 9 pages and just shrugs it off. I have heard of people purchasing Abit Motherboards, or other motherboards from different companies and having no problems at all anymore. But still, I don't think I'm going into getting a new computer just for some cracking and popping. Thanks,??Hope this helps some people.

More like 20 pages.
I think your observation is correct about the nForce, and Creative have also stated this themselves. However as I just brought up in the huge sticky thread, I'm pretty sure there're multiple different cracking issues that're affecting different people. The problem is that all these problems are being treated as the same thing.
The one I've affected by only seems to occur in Battlefield 242 during artillery strikes; this has been something numerous other people have said in the huge thread. If someone can give me another game that's affected in the same way I'll give it a go, but for the moment I'm slightly unconvinced that the Battlefield artillery cracking affects games other than Battlefield (I've tried Command & Conquer 3, Half-Life 2, and Company of Heroes).
I don't think my Asus P5B-Deluxe is nForce, though. I could be wrong. If it isn't, that'd indicate the nForce and Battlefield problems are entirely separate.

Analog inputs no longer working on Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro's external dr

I have an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro. After two years of use without problems, the analog inputs on the external dri've have stopped working. I get no signal from them, not even noise. All 3 inputs are silent, Line in / Mic and Line 2 in the front, and Line 3 in the back. Otherwise the dri've appears to function normally - I get output from the headphone jack, and the volume control knob works. I have not tested digital inputs or outputs, as I currently have no digital devices to connect to them.
I had made no major changes to my computer - software or hardware - when the problems began. I recently added a new SATA hard dri've, but the Audigy dri've did work after that.
I've taken steps suggested in another thread on this forum and uninstalled all Creative software and drivers, used the latest driver package's uninstall program as well as Driver Cleaner, and finally manually deleted everything related to Creative and Audigy from the system registry (and rebooted quite a few times in between). I then installed the original drivers from the CD that came with the sound card (a setup that has worked before), but still the problem persists.
Any ideas on where to even begin looking for a solution? I find it hard to believe that it's a hardware problem, since three inputs suddenly went silent at the same time, and no other connections were affected. Yet I've done as clean a reinstall as possible, and that hasn't solved the problem.

Hard dri've 2: Maxtor 6L080J4, 80 GB IDE
Hard dri've 3: Seagate ST330083, 300 GB SATA-II

I don't have a Platinum Pro or the dri've, but a general hardware troubleshooting step I would take would be to remove the soundcard and either move it to another slot or re-seat it. Also, I'd disconnnect and reconnect all cables to and from the card and the dri've. If I had another machine I could try the card or dri've in, I'd do that. If I could borrow another dri've or even another card, I'd test those too. (Swapping parts is often the simplest diagnostic.) Yeah, maybe it's not a hardware problem, but I'd take these steps just to rule out some possibilities.
Edit: And if you can remove or disconnect the SATA dri've and restore the system to the condition before you installed it, that's another good test.Message Edited by Katman on 2-8-2005 2:56 AM

Audigy 4 non-pro, multimedia probl

Hi there,
Got the Audigy 4 non-pro card, and I'm sticking with it for a long time... but it does have a few problems, I was hoping some of you may have the same problems and could help me. The first one may not be a problem with the card itself.
The thing is, I have a certain DVD-title that has Linear PCM Stereo and DTS-Digital 5. Surround soundtracks. The stereo works fine (let's say in Windows Media Player), but when I switch to DTS (hoping for a surround experience), there is no sound! I am able to have surround sound with most DVDs, although it's usually Dolby Surround. Do I need special software to play DTS soundtracks? I know that PowerDVD (or whatever its' name) has to be upgraded for DTS, but the Windows Media PLayer does have a DTS logo thing, when I play it, but there is no sound!
The other problem seems to be more serious.
When I work with MIDI, or play MIDI files, there's a strange lock-up of the system, although on an irregular basis. Sometimes, suddenly, instantaneously, everything stops, and there is a sustained and quiet MIDI sounds, as though the last notes are held, and the system is in a state of complete lock-up. Does anyone have a problem with taht? Or a solution, even better!
Cheers.

I think you should try some modded driver. It will provide better sound. Try these following links and find out which driver will give your favorite sound. But remember to back up your system (system restore is a good choice before doing so)
