Audigy and EAX 4

Im trying to find this file AUD_EAX4DRV_0303.exe
Im using an original audgiy card and the driver download page says I need this driver to install the updates to the control panel and mixer. Ive tried installing them with just the driver listed but I get an error saying im missing a the driver. So my question is where do I get this file?Message Edited by gomjabar on 0-02-2006 04:48 AM

Yep, I'm running Windows XP Professional SP2. I'm also running the ZSN in Advanced Mode, Maximum setting (using the latest Feature Mode Selection Utility, which replaces the Performance Utility). I can also alleviate the sound effects issue in Uru by switching the ZSN to Standard Performance, but I lose any hardware acceleration and EAX 4.0 effects. More evidence that EAX 4.0 could be at fault.
When I was using the Performance Utility to analyze my system, it would always suggest Standard Performance, which didn't make much sense to me, given my laptop is a P4 3GHz with GB of DDR RAM.

Good News? Audigy with EAX - Working in Win 7 Beta

2Good News? Audigy with EAX - Working in Win 7 Beta} Helo!
First I have instaled the Audigy support pack and my old Audigy MP3+ works fine (in/out, Game port, Creative Audio Console, SoundFont bank manager ) but the EAX console do not run and the EAX in Audio Console have only the enviroments, not the EQ and FX. In other battle I have instaled the Audio HQ of
original installation CD. I stoped the install before the drivers... I want only the Audio HQ working and in the old EAX console I can configure the ENV variables. Then I read a post where I heard speak about the PAX PCI Audigy OS V6.25, well... why not try this too? Run the driver deinstallation and restart.
Then the driver install runs and I see the modem link light indicate a download (?) next the classic blue window of death appear.
Shut down windows and restart and all works fine including the EAX in the Audio Console with ENV, EQ, FX options. The old EAX console works fine and I can configure all the effects. Now only the Creative Game port don't install but I make the Update driver using the one in Audigy support pack and now all works fine.
I hope wich this can help somebody...

' - any input maybe on solving the microphone mess maybe ? i can hear from speakers the microphone input, but the signal it doesnt seem to get through the drivers or any windows routine that can recognise and control it, its like its going from microphone directly to speakers without any app or windows to be able to trace it or sense it ...
- from encoder switcher, which encoder should i prefer to leave on? and whats the difference? what applications does it affect ?

Sound Blaster Audigy and STAL

I've got the following problem. In game called "S. T.A.L.K.E.R" i can hear very lound sounds of shooting and very silence people conversations.
I've got "Sound Blaster Audigy" and Creative Speakers.

Hi,
There are several choices if it comes to Audigy (emu0kx) drivers;
First you can use the last official Creative Labs' driver for the Audigy series which you can download on the official driver download site here at Creative Labs' site, but you will loose a lot of apps/softwares, but it should work;
The second one would be the mentioned Daniel_K's driverpack 3.8 for the Audigy series which works pretty good, although I dislike the individual installers/uninstallers for each applications which makes uninstallation of the driver very annoying.
The third one would be the Project KX driver which is very light in size but very powerful, especially for recording and other music related purposes. There's a learning curve since it really looks different (interfaces for example), but once you have found out how the KX driver works you will be happy you own an genuine Audigy emu0kx soundcard.

Soundblaster Audigy and Windows

I've just installed Windows XP on a new hard dri've. I'm running an older computer with a 700mhz Celeron processor with an Audigy soundcard. On Windows ME it worked fine, but since upgrading, sounds work fine, but when I try playing music of any kind it locks my machine up so bad I have to shut it down manually. I've tried reinstalling Windows and the soundcard drivers, and nothing works. Is there a known issue with the Audigy and Windows XP?
I'm greatful for anything you can tell me, I'm at a loss.
Thank you

Why bother with Microsoft?
They didn't even add in 6. in Windows XP
Seriously, use Creative Speaker Settings.

Audigy and ddts-

After i opened the box today and hooked up the ddts to my promedia 5. ultras....i was very happy. I am running my ps2 into it with a toslink, and it sounds great. I have a audigy regular (mp3 or gamer), and the only setup I can get to work with it is with the digital coax and the converter to /8, HOWEVER, when using the digital coax i do NOT have the option of anything but stereo! I got the ddts mainly for up-mixing my mp3s. Can you get anything else (ie prologic, or neo6? is there a better way to hook them up? I tried using an old cable i had laying around from an old minidisk player that has one side /8th and the other toslink, however I'm not sure if it even works correctly in this application. I tried hooking up from the audigy to the ddts with a /8th to rca, and could not get any sound, except for some buzzing in the center channel. I also recieved today my creative audigy 2 zs notebook, however my dell inspiron 9200 wont get here for a few days . Will I have similiar problems with this? If it turns out my toslink to /8th cable is faulty my plan was to go buy a toslink cable and the /8th converter and use it that way. Will that work properly with my new notebook and/or my current desktop? My goal was to have all three components (ps2, notebook, desktop) hooked up digitally (I love anything and everything 5., including my mp3s). Should I be having this problem with my audigy and the digital coax? Should the /8th to rca work?
Thanks a lot,
Mike

Analog output on the soundcard --> DDTS-100 switchbox
Switchbox --> DDTS-100 main unit
Switchbox --> Speakers
Digital out on the soundcard --> Coaxial input on the DDTS-100 main unit
The digital output on the soundblaster can ONLY SEND OUT EITHER A PCM STEREO SIGNAL OR AN ENCODED DATA STREAM (AC-3). In order to make the DDTS-100 decode the data stream correctly you MUST have the software set to SPDIF passthrough and also have that set in the Audio HQ or the Audio console. Put the switchbox to decoder mode. The only way to light up the lights of the DTS and Dolby Digital is to feed the main unit with an encoded data stream of those sound formats. If you try to play anything and put it through the digital out that is not DTS or DD you are going to get... Stereo.
In order to get sound from the side speakers you must first set the switch on the back of the DDTS-100 main unit to 6.1/7.1 and set the upmix to 5.1-->7.1 or 6.1-->7.1 (depending on the source) on the main volume controller of the S750.

Conflict between audigy and Olympus voice recor

I have an audigy se recently installed. Seemed to be working fine until I opened my Olympus voice recorder program. Just opening the program knocked out the sound card and I could not get it back again. No speakers in any application on the computer except the diagnostic test. Then the speakers would play. But no cd's, no wav files, no nothing. Tried checking and unchecking all the boxes. There really aren't that many. Only way to solve the problem was to uninstall and reinstall audigy and not go to Olympus anymore. I've done that several times to confirm that is the problem.
Any suggestions?

Could anyone help me to resolve the conflict between my Soundblaster Audigy 2ZS and Norton antivirus. The auto protect feature is constantly being turned off on boot up. According to Symantec the problem is caused by conflict between the two soft wares. The Creative page does not mention this at all and the work around on the Symantec site either does not work or entails time wasting closing of programs and re-boots. It is really getting to me now and I wonder if any one knows of a permanent fix?

Some past post here mention of this too.....and the mods suggestion does indeed helped some of them resolve it. Perhaps you can try it. What you need to do is uninstall all Norton and Creative software. When you're done with that, install Creative software first follow by Norton stuff.

Audigy 2 ZS gamer and EAX

I have the card in the message topic. I have downloaded the EAX driver ( I think correctly) but when I enable EAX 4.0 in games, noise is vary statikey. Especially when things get a little bit louder. This is anoying and want to make sure that it isnt a problem with the card itself.
Thanks??specWBMessage Edited by specWB on 03-2-20060:34 PM

The best way to install the drivers is the following:?
Download the latest package<
Unzip/Extract it by right clicking it (You will need to have a utility like Winzip or WinRAR)<
Find the DRIVER subfolder of the contents you extracted<
Run Setup from there<
Check the "Replace Creative Shared files" option.<
You do not need to uninstall any drivers before doing this method of installation.
The games you are mentioning are using EAX Unified if I am not mistaken. So check to see if there is an "eax.dll" file in your WINDOWS\System32 folder. Notice that this file does not come with the drivers but with individual games and may get replaced if you install a new game.
If you do find the file, check its version:? I have heard that version 3.0 is the most stable and that version 4.0 causes problems. In any case try to search the Internet and find another version of the file and try it out.
PS:? It is quite possible that shared resources cause the problem, so if the above doesn't work, you might want to try changing the PCI Latency setting in your BIOS. Usually it is set at 32 cycles, so may want to try setting it at 64. More BIOS settings are documented in the Knowledgebase Article with?<span class="majorheader">Solution ID # 2538.

Creative and EAX technology

I canno't find any sound cards other then creativ's that support EAX 3 Advenced HD or higher. All Turtle Beach, Fortissmo and other soun cards I found have at most EAX 2.0.
Do you guys know of a sound card that support EAX above 2.0 AND is NOT a creative product?
Please respond... Thank you

No. Creative has that market cornered. Unless a company were to pay for the EAX licensing for 3-4-5 (EAX). I know it really does blow too. While like the Audigy series it's not healthy to not have competition because it lowers the overall quality and future outlook of PC soundcards as whole ... IMHO. I wish nVIDA had continued Soundstorm technology but they didn't. The most that we could hope for right now would be better implementations of onboard sound (for gaming) though you are still limited to to EAX and 2, but just like the SB Li've 24 bit it's done in software - so there is a huge CPU hit when you enable EAX in games with onboard sound.Message Edited by Wolfen on -0-2005 09:58 AM

SB Audigy ZS EAX prol

I have installed the sb adudigy zs and then updated the drivers but when i go to play games that use eax the game does not recognize that the card has that ability. the wierd thing is i also have windows xp 64bit installed on another partition on my computer and everything works fine there except i cant seem to get this sub to work with it.
the way i have the hardware configured is i have the creative home theater cables hooked up to my pioneer reci'ver in a 5. output.
if there is anything anyone can do to walk me through getting this working...i would be much apreciati've...for i have been trying to get this working for almost 2 days and it is getting agrivating because i know this is a great card.
thnx....Eric

BigBoss. From all the reading I did and the questions that I asked Creative, including using the X-Fi driver, the word from the top really is that it isn't recommended. It's just not a supported configuration. It may work, but I'm betting there may be some problems like your seeing now. I just downloaded and installed the latest drivers that do support the Audigy 2ZS card, and so far (knock on wood), everything seems to be working extremely well.
I decided to download the driver first and let the install do its thing. When it couldn't erase all the driver files, obviously because they were still acti've, I rebooted in safe mode and ran DriverCleaner Pro. It removed all the rest of the files. Rebooted normally and continued the installation. So far, as I've said, all is good! But I'll keep testing to see for sure. Good luck!

Audigy 2 - EAX-Console crashes everyti

Hi,
I own the Audigy 2 ZS and have some trouble with the EAX-Console.
When I want to change some settings there (CMSS f.e.) the software just hangs up.
Like 80% of the time and I am not able to restart it, until I do a reboot.
I have the latest drivers, so I tryd that already.
Any suggestions?

I am having the same problem as you guys, I have Audigy2 ZS retail and everything was working fine until I got Silent Hunter 3. It was suggested I re-install the soundcard drivers/software so I tried that. Now my EAX console, Graphic Equalizer, surround sound mixer, creative speaker settings will not open. I've also tried a system restore, uninstall, re-install using the cleansweep method, drivers from disk and online got all updates. I've repeated this four or fi've times and Still nothing. When I tried to open the EQ an error pops up that says nothing in it except a red X. EAX console says "no components registered".
I hope I don't have to re-install Windows just to get this soundcard software working properly agian.
Thanks

Soundbanks percussion kit and EAX microphone problems

I bought the PCMCIA Audigy ZS notebook to use it with my notebook HP Pavillon ZS6000 (Athlon 3200, 1 Gb RAM) having the hobby to sing with friends using karaoke software like Van Basco or Karawin.
I bought it in a blister pack at the end of August.
In both sw (Karawin or Vanbasco) you can set the output device to one between internal midi map, Microsoft GS wavetable, Creative soundfont player, or a virtual software like YamahaXG or Virtual Sound Canvas if you have.
I use the Creative soundfont player and change the banks through soundbank manager. It works properly, but if I try to change the percussion kit, dont' hear any difference, like if it use only the first one. Moreover, if I try to combinate 2 soundbanks loading over a second one only with a great piano for example it sounds only the first bank in the list.
Another problem is with Eax anvironment, that produce on the microphone sounds only a continuous bipped sound (I dont' know if it's the one you called bopping) and no echo or reverb...
Least if I use the internal speaker the latency increase terribly to more than 1 second.
Someone can help me?

$? Hi.
I have got same problem here.
When I switch from "creation to game mode" or from "game to creation mode" I can hear microphone/line in playback.
It is muted on the panel but I can HEAR it.
I always have to switch it ON and OFF (in both modes).
Same thing happens when I play through ASIO.
Microphone playback activates but panel visualisation is OK.
This behaviour is pretty annoying.
How is THIS even possible ? I can not believe it.
One more thing about create console I do not like.
It is SLOW !
Slow loading (opening), slow switching.
And two words to Creative developers:? "SIMPLICITY" and "EFFECTIVENESS".

Problems with Old SB Audigy and newer thi

I just installed a Core 2 Duo 2.3 ghz on a Foxconn p965 motherboard and an ATI Radeon x950xt. About the only thing making a return to my machine is my old SB Audigy.
After several hours back and forth from the machine, reinstalling drivers, moving plugs around on my speaks, I'm stuck. The sound that comes through is constantly popping and changing volume levels and I'm not sure how to fix it anymore.
Any help and/or thoughts are greatly appreciated!

rottonel,
Do you have 5. selected in Speaker Settings? If so, then you should get surround sound when you play a source such as a surround sound DVD. For playing a stereo source such as a music CD, you can use the EAX CMSS3D option to emulate surround sound. Make sure the EAX Audio effects, Cleanup, and Time Scaling options are disabled.

Audigy 4 EAX not working in CounterStrike Condition Z

Hi, I need help with my new sound card. I am running Windows XP Home edition. I recently bought the Audigy 4 SoundBlaster. Things work great when I am listening to music or just talking in ventrilo. However whenever I load my CounterStrike Condition Zero the EAX effects seem to turn off. I bought the sound card for the enhanced game play but it is useless if it's not gonna work in the game. Could someone please help me asap. I am getting very frustrated and don't know what to do to fix the problem.

Make sure eax is enabled ingame by typing s_eax in the console. Sometimes even if you set in on at the options it goes off ingame.

Audigy 4 EAX Control Panel - ORIGINAL SOUND ALWAYS HEARD NO MATTER W

I'm using an Audigy 4. On XP, would?use EAX to normalize the wave output signal when participating in an online meeting. I would add a Normalizer and then turn down the original sound. On Vista, the original sound is ALWAYS heard even if I set it to -infinity?the Master Tab and also Wave setting of the source tab. The normalizer MIGHT be working, but I can't tell because the original sound is still heard, and so it doesn't not seem that the normalize is doing anything.
This seems like a driver bug. Is there ANY way to make the Original Sound silent so that only the signal passed through the Normalizer is heard? This worked fine in XP, but not Vista. Again, I'm using an Audigy 4. Thanks,?J.Message Edited by JReality on 05-29-20070:2 AM
