Audigy NX 2 sound issue (paus

I have recently purchased an Audigy NX 2 to connect with my Yamaha home cinema amp, I have it set to pass everything through the optical SPDIF for processing by my Yamaha.
The issue I have is that with the SPDIF output sampling rate at 48kHz there are frequent pauses in sound, if I change the output sampling rate to 44.kHz these pauses lessen but are still there.
Has anyone else experience issues like this? I have installed the latest drivers but with no difference. Is it an issue with me not using a USB2 connection and there is simply not the bandwidth to pass the signal along?
Any help appreciated.

Yunior,
I think that you are saying that sound is speeded up when you watch movies. If that is so, is there a time scaling option (such as in EAX Console or MediaSource organizer) in the software you use for this? And what software are you using for watching movies? Also, if you have not already, try disabling your onboard soundcard in BIOS.

Battlefield 2 huge sound Issue!Creative statement plea

Hi guys..
I had once this problem with the DVD playback if some can remember...i couldnt find any solutions so i formatted my system...then reinstalled everything and look there...wow extrem powerful sound,clean and crisp!!! Awesome **bleep**!
GTA San Andreas is working fine, now since 2 days i have Battelfield 2 and there is an enourmous sound issue...you play the game a bit..all of a sudden(before fluent gameplay,no problem)sounds start to stuck alot when you listen to the guy talking to its like hes talking in slow motion and the whole sound starts to get grazy...and the performance drops then down to a level where the game is just not playable...me friend has this game 2 and gues what he has the same problem and last guess...he has an audigy 2...suprised?
If anyone knows this problem and know how to fix it pls let me know...
and i would like to hear from creative a statement if this is their fault or ea's?
All other games run supreme,i mean that in the soundish way.
thx in advance

I had the same problem with the radio in my game. Turn it from hardware to software mode in the audio options. You'll still get good sound, but it might run a bit slower, as it uses more memory.

Audigy 2 ZS Distortion Issues With Vista - See if this solution works for you guys

First of All Creative - It's sad, really sad that you really haven't supported your customers. As such a big maker of excellent products, I'm disappointed to know that you have barely provided driver support to your customers. I've been buying Creative products since 1997 - Also - I purposely upgraded my sound card on my Hp Media Center to an Audigy 2 ZS. Secondly - I formatted my computer and re-installed Vista. Before that, the sound card i.e. the sound worked fine (after a lot of trial and errors with different drivers, i somehow managed to get it working without Snap, Crackle and Pop Issues. In other words, I experienced distorted playback when I first installed Vista. Now that I re-installed Vista - Everything installed but as usual - only issue: Yup, you guessed it right.
Creative Audigy 2 ZS Infamous Snap Crackle Pop (SCP) I did try k_daniels drivers and even though I applaud for his efforts - unfortunately it didn't work for me but i'm sure they would if you did the following - ) Uninstall all Creative Drivers Using Driver Sweep2) Do not install the driver through Windows Update (did not work for me)3) Install latest drivers from Creative or K_Daniel's Package4) Install Vista Codec Pack5) Install DirectX06) Then do the following: Got this sorted. Hope it works for everyone..found the answer searching Google.
Right click VOLUME icon in taskbar
Click PLAYBACK DEVICES
Right click SPEAKERS
Click PROPERTIESClick ADVANCED Make sure there's no tick marks in any of the options there including ENHANCEMENTS.
This should sort it. [After doing all this, I have no sound issues whatsoever - Crystal Clear Audio Quality but still not better then XP] I am planning to try K_Daniels pack with all the extra applications and I'll post later on in regards to my experience with the pack. Good Luck P.S: Hope this helps somebody because doing all that helped me get back the audio clarity I was looking for without any distortion whatsoever.

Hi xmins
Im not using a decoder, only an amplifier alone with two speakers ... My cable is plugged in line out , and then plugged on line in of the amplifier.
The distortion is very audible, in HL 2, Battlefield 2, etc
When got a explosion, a shot from shotgun, missile, the sound comes distorted ...
Any more hints?

Audigy 2 ZS sound from USB headphones but none from speakers

<Audigy 2 ZS sound from USB headphones but none from speakersw Hello everyone. Lately my computer has been acting up a bit (HP xw6200 workstation) and I updated the graphics and sound drivers to fix the issues with crashing. I first tried to update the audio drivers from the Creative support website but when the installation was finished and the computer restarted there was no longer any sound and all of the volume controls stopped working (sliders, buttons, checkboxes, etc. turned gray). I tried a couple more times to uninstall, then reinstall the driver but it still didn't work. Finally I went to the HP support website and downloaded the audio driver from there and installed it. Now the volume controls work again and when I plug in my Logitech USB headset I can hear sound just fine but when they are unplugged and I try to use my desktop speakers there is no sound at all. I played around with the volume controls, made sure the device and output was correct, and plugged the green output cable to the speakers in all of the sockets I could find while playing a song on Windows Media but it still doesn't work. Anybody have an idea of what might be going on and how to fix it's

@? OK another update (sorry I know I'm posting a lot). I downloaded and installed a different driver from the Creative support site and I now finally have sound in my speakers again. BUT the original problem I was having came back. Whenever I play a game (lately it's been Warcraft III) that seems to have more advanced 3D sound (more than, say, a web video on YouTube) the screen will all of a sudden turn some really weird pattern, the sound will stop, and the entire computer freezes; I then have to manually shut down (with the power button), wait a few seconds, then reboot. I thought this was a graphics issue so I downloaded and installed the latest driver for my video card (nVidia Quadro FX) which didn't help. Now I think it might be a sound card issue (or maybe motherboard?) because this problem doesn't happen when I use my USB headphones to play games. Might my sound card be dying or "breaking" somehow?

Windows 7 - Audigy 2 ZS Mic Issues

"Windows 7 - Audigy 2 ZS Mic IssuesG Ok, i've seen so many posts on this issue but am now suffering from a headache after spending 3 hours trying everything I could find in google to fix this.
The mic works when it wants. When it does work (rarely), its garbled or lagging like crazy.
I have read, and searched this forums, but besides seeing "Doesn't work" or "Use daniel_k's drivers" i cant find any definate fix (or even links to something new that I haven't already tried).
I tried daniel ks drivers and they seems to be pretty darn good, however it still did not correct my issue.
I record music, and I play games. . . and absolutely love win7. . . but am forced to use XP (limiting my amount of memory used) when I want to do any of the above.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

&Re: Windows 7 - Audigy 2 ZS Mic Issues? The support pack does absolutely nothing to fix the mic issues.
Does this driver improve sound quality or performance? Are there any tweaks?
No, this driver does not improve sound quality nor increase performance.
No, there are no tweaks.
If someone states that its driver improves sound quality and performance, you are being fooled, cheated.
It is even worse that the so called tweaks come from a person who is not EVEN technically acknowledged, does NOT know anything about Windows internals, software engineering and?sound?fidelity that all audiophiles always look for.
If you "feel" the sound better, that is the infamous placebo effect and there is no real proof that any tweaks work.
In fact, I have yet to see a driver that states in its release notes that it improves sound quality.
I've disassembled about every single .SYS driver, .DLL libraries and .EXE executables and found nothing.
There are some undocumented registry values, but nothing related to sound quality or performance.
Would the so called tweaks even exist, they would be in my Support Packs, you can bet that.

Microphone issues on Windows 7/Vista 64-bit (x64) with 4GB?of RAM or more
Audigy driver does not support 64-bit addressing, resulting in random issues with the Microphone (static, robotic or distorted voice, white noise).
Workarounds:
- install the 32-bit (x86) version of Windows
- limit the RAM available to Windows to less than 4GB
- enable Memore Hole in BIOS Setup, if?your motherboard supports the setting

Inspire 5.1 5200 developed sounds issues

Hello all, I've got a 2 month old set of Inspire 5. 5200s, and they started having real sounds issues. I get clear sound out of the front center, muffled sound out of the front left, no sound out of the other satilites, and overwhelming bass from the sub when I play media. I get clear sound out of my headphones in any jack I put them in, and similar performance from the speakers regardless of which jack I put them in. I'm not sure what's going on, and I really hope they're not broken. I'm running an Audigy 2 Plat on Xp sp. I've tried all the troubleshooting ideas from the web site and messed with my AudioHQ and control panel sound settings. Any ideas?

Okay, have done. I've connected my mp3 player to each of the speaker cords, and reci'ved no better sound. I get muffled bass out of the front and rear, and okay sound out of the center/sub cord. Alternati'vely, I've connected my headphones to all the jacks in the back, as well as the headphone jack on the volume controler and recieved good sound. This was all done on the 5.1 setting on both the control panel and Creative speaker settings.

Audigy 2 series - Memory issues

Audigy 2 series - Memory issues? Hello,
after mailing the support my problem and asking for a driver update I just got this semi-automated "we dont care"-notice, saying my audigy 2 (zs) was older than 3 years and not supported anymore and therefor would not receive driver updates. Thing that keeps me wondering is that the last driver version got released july 2009, which is also WAY past the "3 years"-mark, so is there still hope to complain again about this very issue or has Creative really abandoned this great card?
The issue im experiencing is whats also described in this unofficial FAQ I found within these forums saying the drivers don't support more than 4 GB of RAM (Windows XP 64), which I just figured out myself the hard way as well. Lowering the memory amount to 4GB is DEFINITELY NOT an option!
Are there possibly any unofficial drivers tackling this issue or is this now Creative's way to force me to buy a newer sound card and hope the driver developers didn't fail as hard with them drivers as they did with the audigy drivers? (I mean really? Not capable of "real" 64bit support? in 2009? Hello?)
Any feedback is greatly appreciated

#Re: Audigy 2 series - Memory issuest Truely sad is the drivers I got from Creative did not work for me.
I had first search, find, and use Danel's drivers.
As for being old, my old Audigy 2 ZS Plat. card died last month. Knowing how much I love that sound card, my girlfriend bought me a new one from an online store and gave it to me for Christmas along with Windows 7 64-bit and more memory.
She is a computer nerd like me.
Anyway, the fact is they are still being sold new today.
No support for a newly purchased producted?
Now I hear these problems have existed since Vista.
What gives?
By the way Audigy 2 ZS Plat was (still is if creative fixes the drivers) the best sound card on the market. For $70 you can get virtually the same hardware. As far as I can tell X-Fi hardware is the same as the Audigy 2, only rebadged. Most the features you do not get are dependent on the sofware, features are turned on or off depending on the card's hardware ID, not that the card can not support the features. The extra $25+ is not worth it in my mind.

HP Envy 4-1215dx Sound Issues

Hi, I own an HP Envy 4-1215dx. It's a great unit overall, but I am having problems with the audio on it. From the day I took it out of the box it will randomly spew out quick bursts of buzzing/crackling/digital noise whenever I try and play some sort of media, it will appear to have stopped for a while but then start doing it again, it is quite intermitten. It does it with sound from the internet such as youtube, playing MP3's, and even in Games. It is extremely irritating and I need to find a solution. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled the audio drivers and have had no luck. Doing a quick google search, I found out that there are several other people with the same problem, yet the only answer they get back is to reinstall the drivers. I have done this already and it does not fix the problem. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hello Livingedge,
I understand that the driver is an older version. This is the version that is available for your specific product on the HP Driver & Software page. I have been able to locate a driver that is also IDT, but the release date is 2013-09-30. I have included that driver here for you 'IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver'.
If this driver fails to resolve the sound issue, I would keep an eye on the 'HP Driver & Software' page. This is where if and any updates are available, will be provided here.
Thank you.

Strange sound issue on iPad2

my mom is having odd sound issues on her iPad 2 that i was able to somewhat fix. and it goes from fixed back to broken o.O
i thought it was interesting and worth mentioning, in case this happens to anyone else.
her iPad 2 is up to date on the latest iOS (5.0.1) and the issue occured while she was watching a video in YouTube. sound is totally off in all apps. in Settings>General under 'use side switch to' it is set to 'mute'. when going to Settings>General>Sounds the volume control for ringers will work and cause the ringtone to play, so it seems the speaker itself is fine. however it will only work there and for that short time. afterward sound will continue to remain off. the volume control on the side of the unit will bring up the on screen speaker icon, except it doesnt show the bar that usually goes up and down with the volume. and sometimes at the top of the grey box it will say 'sound effects'. ive also tried switching the mute on and off which changes nothing.
the one thing ive found that changes anything is the multi tasking bar volume control (double clicking the home button and then sliding all the way to the left, where it shows a screen orientation lock, brightness slider and a volume control bar). now the volume control bar is unfilled and doesnt show the dot that you can slide up and down to change the volume. however when i plug the iPad 2 into a computer (any computer seems to cause this) the volume control bar will suddenly fill and the dot will appear. now suddenly sound works in all apps and will change with the side control again as normal.
now heres where it gets even weirder!!!
sometimes when unplugging the iPad 2, after a short while volume will slowly fade out and be unresponsive again. the side buttons stop working and the volume control in the multi tasking bar will be unfilled and unresponsive. repeatedly plugging it in, going back to the multi tasking bar volume control and unplugging will eventually bring volume back. a couple times ive gotten volume to stay on and the volume bar to stay responsive by unplugging it while im in the multi tasking bar. but sometimes this is not the case.
for the record, ive tried 'turning it off and on again' and resetting all settings and erasing all content and settings (both with starting up from a back up on iCloud and PC, and starting up as a new iPad). ive used two different laptops, one with Windows Vista and one with Windows 7. the iPad is synced with one laptop but aside from using iTunes to back it up and for charging, ive not made any changes to the iPad using these devices. during the entire duration of my attempts to fix it, the iPad has been on no lower than 80% power. ive also called Apple and discussed this with an Apple Care representative. who suggested all the same things id already done, and walked me through all the fixes to make sure i didnt skip anything.
hopefully and most probable is that its just an issue with iOS 5.0.1. i also have an iPad 2 thats up to date with 5.0.1 and ive not had this issue, YET.
i just thought it would be beneficial to the community to share this issue and get word out that this is happening. i would like to hear everyones thoughts on this issue and if this has happened to anyone else. the Apple Representative that i spoke to had not heard of or had to deal with this issue so it sounds like its rather new or rare. though she did mention that this is not normal behavior for the device and might be a software issue.
id like to conclude with my love for Apple, and how user friendly iDevices are in general. ive had iPods from the very first generation and all of them still work (though the older ones cant be updated past a certain iOS). the few issues ive ever had were easily fixed with a visit to the Apple Store or searching on the Apple Support Communities. so as with before, i will remain positive and look forward to a bug fix in the next update.
-thanks in advanced for reading, and any comments

Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the iPod and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

Sound issue on iphone 4 - 7.1.1

My mom has an iphone 4 that was handed down to her from my sister. After one of the ios updates...can't remember which one...the phone stopped giving audible notifications for text messages. As I have tried to troubleshoot this issue I have discovered the other following problems:
The phone will not play music on any speaker. I was trying to connect the phone via bluetooth to a speaker bar and when I tried to play pandora, I got nothing. I then disconnected the bluetooth to see if I would get sound out of the phone's speaker and got nothing. I attempted to play a downloaded song and got nothing.
I then tried to see if I could find other issues and I did. When I go into settings>sounds>ringtones I can switch ringtones and hear the ringtone sample. When I go into settings>sounds>text tone, I can select any tone in the list and all I get is a vibration, no sound at all from any of them.
I also found that when pressing the volume up and down buttons on the side of the phone do not produce the pop up box that shows volume going up and down
I believe these three problems to be related as some kind of systematic software bug. Can anyone confirm this or offer a possible solution. Keep in mind the phone does make sounds when someone calls also from the speaker phone. The only non-sound issues are text notifications and playing music. I find this to be a rather important problem because the phone can really no longer be used as a phone since my mom continually misses text messages because she does not get an audible notification.

Windows Vista major sound issues

On my 2 month old Unibody Macbook, I'm experiencing severe sound issues with bootcamp 2.1 in windows vista. While playing games such as Halo 2 or Fallout 3, which the macbook graphically handles exceptionally well for a laptop, the sound crackles and often disappears! To get the sound back I have to reboot my macbook. Help, this is extremely annoying, and apple won't do a thing about it!!! Please help!

Sound issues with MacBook Pro

I am experiencing sound issues with my MacBook Pro. I am using a headset and when I am on a skype calsl I have a hard time hearing the other person, the sound is coming in and out and sounds digitized. This issue only started recently, the sound had been working fine for years before this issue.

I do not use Skype, but may be information from the below linked article helpful.

Sound issues in iOS6

I'm having random sound issues since upgrading iPhone to iOS6. For instance, after using iMessage I will sleep the phone without exiting iMessage. 5 mins later I will have messages sent to me but there were no sound notifications indicating such. Only if I exit iMessage prior to sleeping the phone will I hear notifications of new texts or iMessages. Also, random sounds like the swoosh when sending an email will mute randomly. I have to shut the phone off and restart before it works again. Why is this happening?

If you have a iMessage open and into a message, normally it will not sound. I think it is because you already have it open and in it. That is what I have noticed.

What is a packet problem? I'm having sound issues.

I'm at my wit's end. I am having sound issues. I've run diagnostic tests and everything comes back as OK, but it's not OK! Something somewhere is messed up and I can't figure it out.
I have been to the help rooms on paltlak and opened up support tickets and everything they told me to try has not helped. They suggested I change the sound tuning on my chat program, change exceptions on my firewall, uninstall and reinstall chat program, uninstall and install earlier version, download drivers for sound card, and etc. Nothing is helping this problem.
Someone mentioned that it may be router problems or packet problems. I'm not sure what that means, and that is why I'm on this forum asking for help. I have no other sound problems on my computer. My music and videos play fine. It's just when I'm in a voice enabled chat, do I experience these problems, or if I'm on a website that has videos, the video will not load all the way, so I only get 30 seconds of a video. Does anyone know what could be causing this?
I have used this chat service for over 5 years and up until a week or so ago, it worked fine. I did a complete reformat of my computer in hopes that it would help, but I'm still having the same problems. I lose sound within 5 seconds of entering the chat room. Then it takes between 3-5 minutes before I hear sound again, but then I only hear it for a few seconds. Then it goes away for another few minutes. Repeat. Over and over again.
I'm running Windows Vista on an Acer Aspire 380 with wireless cable modem. I keep losing sound in any voice/sound enabled chat and on any site that has videos. I have 1gig of ram, 300 gb hard drive, 32 bit operating system, 2 processor cores, directx version 9, realtek sound card. Everything is up to date, and firmware is up to date. My speed test is: download: 6.162 mbps and upload: 926 kbps.
When I do the ipconfig/all, it shows
Tunnel adapter local aera connection* 6: Media State: Media disconnected
description: teredo tunneling pseudo-interface
dhcp enabled: no
autoconfiguration enabled: yes
I don't know if this has anything to do with my sound issues on the chat program or not. ??
Also shows:
node type: hybrid
dhcp enabled: yes
autoconfiguration enabled: yes
default gateway: 192.168.1.1
dhcp server: 192.168.1.1
netbios over tcpip: enabled
If by chance it is a packet problem, how do I fix that?

Hi. Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, it just started recently and after not being able to fix the problem, I completely reformatted my computer and started with a fresh slate, but still having the same problems. The videos will not continue to load. They get less than half way and then just totally stop loading, therefore I only get to view the video up to the point where it stops loading. I just took your advice and I disconnected the router and connected my computer directly to the modem and my sound issues were fixed. I went into the voice chat and had sound for over 10 minutes (and then I disconnected) instead of the usual 5 seconds that it'd been. So is it the linksys that is causing this? If so, how can I fix it? Thank-you. Message Edited by nightrider7000 on 01-22-2008 11:34 AM
