Audigy 4 vs E-MU 0404 in Win 2

Looking for opinions to decide between two cards.
-I only need stereo, this is purely for music output to a 2 channel audio system.
-My house server runs Windows Server 2003, as it performs a lot of server functions, one of which is playing MP3s and other audio to my stereo.
I haven't had any trouble running XP drivers in 2003 but I still try to avoid loading any more non-2003 stuff than I have to. My current onboard sound has the sound blaster drivers and mixer and stuff and they all run fine in 2003. But the sound card stinks (its the Sigmatel HD one with the software sound blaster upgrade thing). Needless to say I'm less than happy with it.
So the 2 choices are (same price for either option within a few bucks):
Audigy 4 with digital i/o addon:
-Seems like you can just load the driver, I'm assuming (hoping) the digital i/o port is always enabled and I don't need to load some stupid software to turn it on.
E-Mu 0404
-Looks like you have to load patchmix to do anything with the card.... looks like a nice program but concerns me that it may or may not work in 2003. Otherwise the card looks like the handsdown better choice. With the Burr Browns and great SNR I'd even run it analog to my stereo as they're better than my stereo's DACs.
. Anyone have any experience running either in 2003?
2. Any "gotchas" with the 0404, I know it can be a bit tricky, but I'm just looking to play music, and possibly encode some streaming content on occasion.

Hi there,
I have the same issue here but with an Intel based system.
I installed the lastest USB 3.0 Driver for my Mainboard
ASUS Z97 A
Which offers these drivers:
Intel USB 3.0 Driver V3.0.0.16 for Windows Win7 32bit & Win7 64bit---(WHQL). (2014/05/08)
Now my system freezes after accessing any hard drives in the explorer.
I tried USB 2 und USB 3 ports. No difference.
Is there an USB Filter fix for Intel as well? Where do i get it?
Thanks

E-MU 0404 USB Win 7 64bit crashes

I've got a huge issue with the soundcard in conjunction with Win 7. In 6 out of 10 times when I try to initialize the hardware (doing so by starting Ableton Live, or even simply play music with any program via this card), the pc will crash completely, forcing the OS to restart. I hear not a single sound, I just see a few stripes on my screen and then the BIOS.
I even tried reinstalling the OS, no success. The first times this happened, I got a BSOD, which told me about a problem with usbfilter.sys, so I posted my problem on Windows 7 Forums, with all the minidumps etc.
I've been told to update some of my drivers (including the one for the soundcard), and so I did - no success.
Once again - I even tried to reinstall my complete system, and with only Live, the newest drivers and updates installed - no success.
You may be able to imagine how fun it is trying to record an idea and to see your former rock-solid system go nuts.
My specifications:
Asus M4A8TD EVO Mainboard
AMD Phenom II X6 1055T CPU
Kingston DDR3-1333 2x2GB RAM
XFX HD5750 XXX video card
Samsung Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB HDD
be quiet! Pure Power 530W power supply
Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
USB-devices connected:
keyboard, mouse, Novation Launchpad, Behringer BCF2000, M-Audio Keystation 61es, 2 ext. HDDs, WLAN-Stick, USB-Hub
The soundcard is connected directly to a USB-port, not via the hub.
My system is not overclocked and has never been.
Any help appreciated!

Audigy 2 on Win x64 . NOT FOUND!!

Hi
I have an Audigy 2 and it works fine on Win XP Pro.
However when I want to install latest drivers on Win XP x64, setup says it can't find the card. lol
What's wrong or what am I doing wrong?
I have latest NForce drivers and latest bios. MB: MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum. 2 Gb 3200 DDR Kingston (4x52), GForce FX660 256 Mb.
Could anyone help me, please?
Thanks

D/L this driver http://www.station-drivers.com/telec...32-64-whql.exe
Open it up with WinRar and then go to WDM/common and 64.
Extract this to your desktop and then try to force it in Dev Man.
IF that fails then open up again and go to surrport/64 and use the CTzapxx.
Hope that hel

EMU 0404 - windows boot hangs, no sound!

ASUS P48SX motherboard
Sapphire ATI Radeon graphics card
This problem has been reported on internet forums, but I have found no solution so far:
On installing the software, the device worked fine and i was able to listen to audio and record audio using cubase sx 1.02. The software was installed having formatted my drive and reinstalling windows xp and service pack 2, cubase and propellerhead reason and nothing else. On the next few boots, the computer would hang during the windows xp splash screen. Windows would occasionally load on cold boots only and audio can rarely be heard.
Either the device will appear to work fine, with the volume level faders appearing to work properly and audio playing back but just not audible, or this will occur for the first 3 seconds of a track being played (in windows media player) and then the track would freeze until moved on with the cursor, then play for another 3 seconds, and so on, or the device would work and i can use it as i please.
Each time i have tried loading a session into patchmix that i saved when the card was operational and i know should allow me to hear audio and record it, but this does not help. I have also tried upgrading the drivers and patchmix to v1.08 from 1.07 with no luck.
I have tried setting the bios to manage pci devices instead of the operating system, moving the device into a new slot (although device was originally in an unshared slot), to no avail. When i moved the card and reinstalled the software. it worked for a few boots, then the audio started to clip even with the output faders turned down, and then a couple of hours later when i returned to the pc nothing could be heard and windows could not communicate with the device! argh!!
This seems to be a common problem amongst users to i hope you can help!
Regards,
Dom

Thanks Dom. I think I have the solution now, although I only had a short time to test this last light as finished working on the PC at 1:30 am.. Didn't need to try the unintsall SP2 approach. After retrying several previous steps and also editing the BIOS to disable legacy PC Sound, I was thinking about the fact that the PC only had an issue when .wav files were being played or processed and did some intensive internet searching on this subject. I eventually discovered a note on Dell's site at the download centre...
http://support.dell.com/support/down...2&fileid=78796
....This download page advised of one of the fixes for the BIOS on the Dimension 4300 was fix number 5:
"Fixed hang problem with Creative Audigy and large sound samples"
I wondered whether the same issue that affected the Audigy cards might affect the 0404 and the fact that it said "large sound samples" would clearly apply - I am mostly using 24Bit samples.... I downloaded the latest BIOS and applied it. When I rebooted I disabled all the legacy sound elements I could, and tried Win amp, WMP and Reason in sequence with different files and all were fine.... and sounded excellent. I dodn't know my Genelecs were so good! What's surprising is that I didn't get hangs before I installed the 0404 so I still can't explain that.... perhaps EMU handles them different at operating system level since it has on board effects and stuff.. Anyway, any issues with hanging guys- chekc the latest BIOS for your machine as well as the drivers, services packs and stuff. I spent about 20 hours in total fixing this - about 10 of which were spent watching the PC freeze and reboot ..fun shouldn't be this much hard work {:-|
One thing I was wondering - does anyone habe any truly accurate refernce guide to "tweaks" for XP audio users? I know there are lots of magazine articles but wonder whether you have any good reference material on this. I have disabled some services over time, but there may be lots more I can do to improve performance.

Audigy Player Driver, or compat iss

hello,
im a little confused on what driver i need as theres no reference to the audigy-player in driver menu,
im running win XP - SP2, dx9+ what file do i need?
weird thing is i ((was)) using the card on a .7 ghz perfectly even under heavy load no clipping at all now i have transferd card to a xeon dual .7ghz (3.4ghz) over a gig of ram, again xp-sp2 now the same song arrangments that was perfect on a single .7 are clipping badly. even near complete songs that are not useing any MIDI devices (internal or external) are doing the same, i was wondering is this a windows driver/dx9 etc , issue or is there a problem running audigy player on a dual system.
the driver that i installed was an old update i downloaded sometime ago pre sp 2, hence the request for newer driver, games dvds mp3s are perfect, only under song production clipping happens, cubase, fruity, are suffering only..
thanks

cheers bad boy,
i do have the original cd and the free game to, l give your one a go to,
i tryed a audigy driver yesterday on install it says selected components are not installed, sound properties shows sb d400, all drivices/software shows audigy. searching d400 on driver page finds nothing.
ok i know the card is pretty old now but i do like it, creative stuff inc my old gf2 graphic card are solid and stable only time i ever had probs is when i update direct x normaly required to run new software it would be a shame to upgarde something i like because of XP
cheers once again badboy , il head for the download now ,,, fingers crossed its a gooden

FPS2000 Digital Speaker System

I currently have an FPS 2000 Digital Speaker System, with an Audigy 2 Platinum sound card on a Win XP system.
The subwoofer itself has no input jack to connect from the Audigy 2, but there is a Digital DIN connector on the subwoofer that will connect ALL speaker channels to the sound card. Is there a cable available that will do this with an Audigy 2? If so, where can I buy one? Also, I'm currently planning on buying a new Win7 Pro system.
Will I be able to use the Audigy 2 and FPS2000 speakers in Win 7 Pro's XP mode?

Ah, I have just found the cable here :-
http://us.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=3&subcategory=58&product=0374
Unfortunately this is only in the US shop (who don't ship abroad) so I guess we Europeans will have to make do with some old string and hope for the best...

Unable to install any creative applicati

I recently built a new PC and transferred over my Audigy 2 soundcard. I used the creative speaker settings application frequently to configure my surround sound setup. Now whenever I try to install that application from the website, or install creative mediasource, or my old playcenter 3.0 software I get the message "Setup did not detect the required components, setup will exit". Now it seems that its obviously not detecting my soundcard as an Audigy 2. But the drivers install fine and it's listed in device manager as Audigy 2 (WDM). I do have Win XP SP2 installed. If there is a workaround or fix please let me know. I did a forum search for the above message and didn't get any help from that.
Thanks,
-Chad

I'm not sure. Games should detect EAX compatibility. You won't have access to applying effects yourself though. Using Windows Control Panel's Sounds and Audio Devices you'll be able to set the proper speaker configuration, however you will need to use special software like that in Foobar2000 to enable Stereox2. In other words, your cd's and mp3's are stereo sources so they will naturally only play out of your front 2 speakers unless your player (like Foobar2000) has an option for Stereox2. Creative's software would have enabled you to use all your speakers from all sources.
You might try clean sweeping (clean uninstalling) all Creative drivers and software. Creative has instructions on how to go about that in the knowledgebase. You might want to add using a program called DriverCleaner from driverheaven.net to the uninstall ste
ps.
I can't see you being satisfied with just the drivers. I mean, you're missing a lot. For example, if your DVD playing software is just basic you can set it to send the signal to the sound card and the Creative software will decode the Dolby Digital EX or DTS signal for you. Otherwise you just get the player downmixing to stereo or using plain Dolby Surround. (Of course, if you have a full version of PowerDVD-Deluxe or WinDVD Platinum then the player contains what you need.)
You paid for the whole package. It's not cheap. I would use Creative Tech Support and if they can't get it all working for you, take it back and get a different audio solution. M-Audio Revolution is one.
I would bet that if you removed all your hardware except for your Video Card, Mouse, keyboard, and monitor, formatted and installed the OS, applied the chipset, video drivers, installed the Creative card, cancelled out of Windows hardware detection, then inserted the install cd, then it would install fine. Just try to install the card in a PCI slot that isn't shared by another slot.
A lot of work, but it might be the only fix. I've had to do that before I discovered the CTZAPP.EXE trick. But you said your Creaati've drivers are installed by the Creative driver installer. So I suppose you're forced to wipe your dri've. Even if you return the card and get something else, I would wipe the dri've and start fresh anyway. You might as well try the Audigy first. It's great when it works!

I am having an issue with a cad program: Cabinet Vision Solid. It is a CAD/CAM software that links to my CNC machine.
When I am in 2d mode, there are dimensions on a certain part, showing height and width, and a layout grid. The dimensions and grid are supposed to be visible no matter which way I view a component. The dimensions, and the grid disappear as soon as I switch views, or only partially show up.
I have this software installed on several PC's without the same issue. I have even tried a different display, to no avail. Most of the other systems have only onboard video
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

i think this problem is on the program. try uninstalling it and reinstalling it over again. download the latest vga drivers as it always have fixes for some issues. if the problem persists, look in the programs manufacturers site and make sure your vga card is compatible to the program.,

THX Setup Console Involuntary Configuration Cha

Presently I have a 5. speaker selection which works fine (sometimes). For some unexplained reason my default settings in THX Setup Console periodically change from 5. to 2., with the resultant cutoff of 3 speakers. At the same time, the location of my Front Center Channel Selection changes from my settiing of 'Above monitor' to 'Below monitor. My default changes remain in place for a variable time, ranging from several days to several weeks. I have installed the latest Audigy update (SBAX_WEBUP_LB_2_08_0004) with no effect. Win XP Pro, SP2.

It looks like you are not hitting r2 through the console, you are hitting r2 via telnet.
If this is true, you should be able to put a password on vty 0 4 and sucessfully connect.
"Password needed and none set" is a telnet error ... not someting that would come from a console connection.
In your host definitions on the TermServer, remember to use a loopback address of te TermServer (along with the port 2001, 2002 ...).
Like: host r2 192.168.1.1 2002 <--192.168.1.1 is the loopback address of the termserver (itself).
Good Luck

"A How-To" on the steps to FIX the Problem of NO Sound Card DETECTION with AUDIGY 2 and Win XP

Note#: When restarting the PC each time, shut off the main power switch on the Power Supply then back on.
Note#2: You will need the Windows XP CD WITH the SP2 on it or have the download SP2 Install file from MS on your PC. I have it on CD.
. Remove the sound Card
2. Use the Removal/Un-installation Procedures for the drivers in Knowledge Base Under Windows XP Step by step. Restart to get all the files deleted in the Creative folder if necessary.
Here is the (Solution ID#) for the Uninstallaion found in the Creative.com Knowledge Base: SID72 "How to uninstall Sound Blaster drivers and applications?"
Alternati'vely, Click on the Sound Blaster Picture Box under the Knowledge Base Main Search Page and the article should be in the resulting list.
3. Use the DCProSetup_.exe from http://files.trunetworks.com/utilities/
Use it carefully Selecting [Creative] then Check the box for Muntiple Cleaning Filters, and remove the Creative Audio Drivers by Clicking on Start.
4. Go into the Registry by Typing Regedit in the Start>Run.. Menu
Navigate and remove the Entry for CTCMSGo.exe, it is running in the back ground otherwise and i believe it interrupts the re-installation of MediaSource Files.
HKEY_CURRENT USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
The file link/tag, it will be on the right half of the screen, Delete it. CTCMSGo.exe=(Creative Technologies Media Source Go)
5. Restart the PC, dont forget to switch Power Supply to off while powered down and on before powering back up.
6.Go to the Win XP SP2 CD or the file downloaded, select re-install but choose UPDATE, not New Installation. Let the Install run and update your pc, this procedure has no data loss or settings changes in Windows.
7. Restart PC
8. Turn off PC and install the Audigy 2 Card. Then turn on the PC. At this point you might get a plxcore.plx Error of file missing. Not to worry.. copy the file from within the Creative Drivers CD and paste it into the Creative Folder In C:\Program Files\Creative
The Knowledge base Article on the steps is: SID287 "Error: Program could not load because Plxcore.plx cannot be found"
9. Power up and see if you get PCI Device, and Audio Controller Detetion. If you dont then do the following:
A) Remove the Sound Card and Re-install the Win XP SP2 Update a number of times ( I did this about 5 times until detection) Each time restart and install the Sound Card into any of the empty PCI Ports until detection.
If that does not work after a number of times try the following:
B)Power off and switch the PCI slot of the Sound Card (to all the PCI slots if necessary with complete power off each time) Without Re-installing XP SP2 Update.
0. After you get Detection, The Windows Auto Installer for Drivers will pop up..select Find Drivers Automatically, then Install then install the drivers it finds. It will put in some basic Audigy Drivers from the CD or online i'm not sure where it gets them from. Keep your Driver CD in the CD Dri've.
.Restart the PC, then install the Drivers and Media Source Files from the CD (it may not all get installed and may give an error and you have to shut down and re-install the drivers and Media Source over again and over again so it fills in the gap of missing files/drivers until it all works without deleting the previously installed parts).
2. Only install this update from the File/ Downloads Section on the Creative website: EAX4DRV_AUDIGY2__84_50.exe Dated 29 July 04. The new beta one that was released is what started all my troubles, so plz i urge you to wait for it to be official.. unless you really want to test it out at your risk.
And there you have it.. in 8 Hours and some ideas from friends and relati'ves concerning detection problems of other hard ware they have had i decided to play Roulette all night and this combo works. I had to play Roulette switching the PCI slots (5 of them), and then towards the end play Roulette with the Creative Driver CD install... until they all work perfectly. WHEW!!!
Notice: I hope if you are really ticked off at having no sounds and want to try this at your own risk and responsiblity go ahead, and I wish you luck. None of the proedures are too out of the ordinary. I dont know if it will work for you but it worked for me and maybe it will possibly for other similar Sound Cards as well.. like ZS or Li've! etc. with similar problems. Happy Sound Blasting!!!

Audigy 4 Pro microphone problems in Win 7 64-bit

Hi there,
Since I put my Audigy 4 Pro card into my newer PC with Win 7 64-bit the microphone only seems to work when it wants to, or works but sounds messed up.
I've waited a while before posting about this because I thought the newer drivers would sort out the problem, but it remains the same.
The card/microphone works without a problem if I put it in a PC with Win XP.
Sometimes the microphone will not pick up any sound at all. Other times it will work, but only for? game, say Heroes of Newerth. Then in Windows using teamspeak, people describe the sound like I'm talking through a fan. Tried using the in-game VOIP but I get the same result.
After a restart or just some random day, people in Heroes of Newerth would discribe the VOIP from my side as if I was talking under water(or through a fan), but then it would work fine for teamspeak or Bad Company 2 or any other game. I used these 2 games as an example since its what I'm playing mostly at the moment.
There doesnt seem to be any consistancy with the problem.
I have recently removed the sound card from my PC and now forced to use the onboard sound that reminds me of the sound of a clockradio.
My PC specs are:
Asus Rampage Formula Motherboard
Intel Core 2 Duo 3.0GHz E8400
8GB RAM
4 x WD Raptor HDD Stripe RAID
ATi Radeon 4870 52MB
Sound Blaster Audigy 4 Pro?(model number shown?is SB0290)
Using?a Sennheiser PC350 Headset.
What I have tried my side so far:
Tried latest and older drivers for Win 7 64-bit
Reinstalled Windows 7 several times with different drivers.
Tried disabling all devices except for line/mic
Tried other input devices.
Tried with different audio and sound codecs, tried without any.
Might have been or 2 other things I tried I cannot think of now.
Is there anyone that experienced similar problems and got it fixed? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Bill,
Can you be more specific about which steps were not recorded?
There some things that will not be recorded. The release notes list some known issues.
Known Issues:
Tutorial Builder can only capture actions in Photoshop that are recorded by the ScriptListener plug-in. While this includes most of Photoshop's functionality, some features/tools are not recorded. In particular, brushing actions are not captured. We hope to address this in future releases of Tutorial Builder.
Some of the the actions that Tutorial Builder captures are not yet instrumented to produce detailed text instructions in the final tutorial. For such actions, the generated tutorial will include a step that says "The (action name) is not yet supported by Tutorial Builder," and the tutorial author will have to edit the HTML to provide more descriptive text. Note that the "Show me in Photoshop" link is still generated for such actions.
Some Photoshop actions allow the user to specify a set of parameters in multiple ways, but Tutorial Builder cannot detect how the user specified those settings during the recorded demonstration. Thus, the text in the generated tutorial may not describe exactly what was demonstrated. For example, in the Image > Adjustments > Levels tool dialog box, you can update the parameters using three different eye droppers. Since Tutorial Builder does not know which (if any) of these eye droppers were used, the text for a Levels adjustment does not describe exactly how the settings are specified. Again, the tutorial author can simply edit the HTML to provide a more accurate description.
Thanks!

No sound on Audigy 2 ZS under Win XP, under Linux

Hi,
I have an Audigy 2 ZS installed on my AMD 64 3500+, Board Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe (BIOS 0). I first installed Win XP, Sound drivers and everything worked fine, then installed SUSE Linux 9.3 (x64-Version), and everything was fine too. After a while, under Win XP the sound card stopped working. I don't remember what I changed in my config, but I couldn't get it working again under XP. Under Linux everything is still ok.
I even reinstalled XP, and still there's no sound. Strange thing is, that the drivers install perfectly and everything on the system seems to be ok, but there's no sound neither on digital-out nor analog.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I tried both, disabling, enabling.
Currently there's a digital sound system with external decoder connected to it (Creative Soundworks DTT3500 Digital), as well a 5. analog Headphone, so all jacks execept line in are connected. Headphones and sound system is ok, I tested that on other PCs.

SB Audigy SE (SB0570) / Win 8.1 64bit completely freezes on sound playback

hi there,
I got a problem: my audigy se doesnt work on windows 8.1 64bit.
I freshened up my pc and installed a clean win 8.1 os on a new harddrive.
I tried installing the official SB24_PCDRV_LB_1_04_0090a.exe driver.
I got a audigy se (sb0570), and driver installation works fine. the card got recognized and it can play a sound, but after a few seconds my whole PC freezes without bluescreen. it doesnt matter if it is a flash video, a mp3 or just a windows sound; it always freezes. when the sound device is disabled, the system runs without freezes. I can start a playback, ofc there is no sound, but the system is stable.
my card works fine on win 7 64bit with older drivers. plus, I am using the support pack 2.6 by daniel_k (I still use my old SDD with win7 on it and everything works fine). I also tried support pack 2.6 on my win 8.1 system but it doesnt even recognize the card. the newer support pack 3.0 does recognize sb0570 and actually the sound works for about 10seconds (my 5.1 system works fine for that 10 sec, all speakers are getting a signal, but then it freezes...).
so, both the official and the unofficial drivers are not working.
has any1 a clue?

Try to use Windows XP SP2/3 compatibility mode first, see if it works for you. And use Alchemy for the Audigy 2 ZS, FS2004 is making use of Directsound after all. Read the guide for using Alchemy here and here. Download Creative Alchemy here.
Hope it works for you!
