Audigy Platinum ex disc drive power sup

Just made the mistake of buying a new pc and trying to fit my soundcard, the original platinum ex.
It would appear that i cannot plug into the PSU power supply, even using the Y connector provided.
The only spare power cable in a 3.5 mini female socket, which would be great, but it doesnt reach.
I cannot find a 3.5 to 3.5 mini male to female extension cable... can anyone help at all? i've googled it to death.
I cant afford a new soundcard and i've just bought this new pc, i just don't know what to do. do the new audigys require power supply?

I checked the cords multiple times and reinstalled the drivers multiple times. I have recently discovered that the dri've only doesnt get full power when Line-in 3 (the RCA connection on the back) is connected to the output of my mixing board (eurorack mx604A). If i unplug the cable from the mixer, the external dri've's power light returns to full strength and upon reboot, the volume knob actually syncs with the volume control in windows. However, Now I get never-ending static and popping from the PCI output and I still do not get any sound through the headphone jack on the external dri've.
There seems to be some bleed-through or something from the inputs on the external dri've. currently when monitoring the cards output through the PCI card, I get severe static/popping if i unmute line-in 3 (RCA jacks) but the other two only produce static intermittantly. I have never succeeded in getting anything to play through the headphonesMessage Edited by uhmerika on 06-23-2006 03:2 PM

Help: SB Audigy Platinum EX box drive

I can't seem to get the external box on my Sound Blaster Audigy EX to work. I don't have the CD for it. Does it need extra drivers? If so, cand I download them from somewhere? I got the audigy drivers, and the card itself is putting out sound just fine.
I DO have a CD for the Audigy 2ZS, if that helps in anyway...

Hi there,
I'm sure you can get all the drivers you need from creatives site. however, just to be sure it's functioning check the connections inside your case. Check that all the cables inside the case that connect the two cards together are properly connected. I was messed up by this twice, and I'm resonably tech savvy.
you should also check to see if there is a red light comming out of the optical out on the front of the audigy (dont stare straight at it!) .. if the light is there when your pc is in windows. then it's most likely that it is connected correctly. if it's not, the box is not powered and will not be detected.
i believe this is the link to the drivers you need.

Audigy 2 ZS Drive power plug

Can anyone provide me with the Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Drive power connection pinout? Is this a standard 3.5 inch Floppy power connection?
Thanks

It may be possible to help if you are clear in advising what the problem is and what you are trying to do. In relation to the power button, it, when depressed, surpringly allows you to turn media source on or off. Have you taken the plastic liner off the battery?

Audigy Platinum driv

Hi all, and a big hello from a beginner in this forum!
I'm going to download new drivers for my old Audigy Platinum (200), the file name is: sabx_webup_lb_2_08_0004.
My question is: does it works good?
One year ago I downloaded a driver from this site and my XP SP2 crashed!!
Does it worth, anyway? I have no problems with my sound card and I don't know if it is really necessary to update the driver...
Maybe anyone installed the new driver and had problems?
Thank you.

I have an older iMac 5,1 and the disc drive no longer works. I was hoping that I could the Apple USB super drive as a replacement, but the info on the super drive page says compatible with iMac 2012 or later. Does anyone know why it would not work for me?

A reply to similar question (Q & As , in product page Apple Store) says:
"...dissable the internal reader hardware from devices setup. Then plug the external usb superdrive and that's it." Answered by Enrique T from Lima Oct 25 2013.
If you can locate an external Apple USB 'Air" superdrive for earlier model MacBook Air, that should work. The newer one for the Air is the same as for iMac, now.
You may be able to use other brands of external USB optical drive with your older intel-based iMac, as some of them function capably. A few should also be able to see system discs or other bootable utilities on DVD.
Hopefully this helps.
Good luck & happy computing!

My macbook pro won't sleep - if I select sleep it does so initially, then the disc-drive appears to kick in and it comes back to life. It also won't turn off (again, the disc drive kicks in) unless you hold the power-button down for a long period.

Audigy Drive on Audigy Platinum Not Recogni

I have a custom built (read, I built it myself) AMD 2200 XP with GB Ram and a 420 W Power Supply. It has a Soyo Dragon KT333 Ultimate Platinum motherboard. I have had it up and running for about 2 years and the Audigy Platinum Sound Card works beautifully. However, I have NEVER been able to get Windows XP Pro to recognize the Audigy Dri've that goes in the 5.25 in. Dri've Bay. It hasn't been a big deal, because my computer has been out of it's cubby hole for the last two years for various other reasons. However, I now want to put it where it belongs and would like to get it working before I put it away. The cables are all hooked up right. I have tried fi've different connections from my power supply and still can't get any indication of power being supplied to it or get XP Pro to see it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Russ

Falcondfw,
Since you have tried multiple power adaptors one thing to check would be to see if the Red Light on the optical out (after removing the cover that is) ever comes on. If it doesn't then it is most likely a hardware problem and you will want to have the dri've repaired. This can be arranged by contacting Technical Support, here is the page that has their contact information:

Using an Audigy Platinum Live Drive bay with Windows 7

6Using an Audigy Platinum Li've Dri've bay with Windows 7` I bought this card/bay a long time ago:
http://support.creative.com/Products/ProductDetails.aspx?catID=&subCatID=205&prodID=484 6&prodName=Audigy%20Platinum&subCatName=Audigy&Cat Name=Sound+Blaster&VARSET=prodfaq:PRODFAQ_4846,VARSET=CategoryID:
Unfortunately the Li've Dri've panel, which was pretty much the entire reason I bought it, hasn't worked since I installed Windows XP years ago. Now I'm up to W7 64 bit and I'm wondering if there's any use trying to reinstall the hardware and make it work or if I should just get rid of it.
In XP and possibly in Vista I could get basic functions out of the card, but the EAX control panel didn't really work anymore. I used to use the remote control, plug in my guitar and use effects, etc. I'd really like to be able to do that again. Anyone know?

Headset no longer works with Audigy Platinum dr

I have a Logitech headset that plugs into the headphone and mic jacks on the Audigy Platinum dri've. On Saturday I had to do some work in my computer, so I disconnected the dri've from the card to get the data cable out of the way.
This may not be related (I hope not), but I plugged my floppy dri've in wrong and fried the floppy dri've and melted the wire to the PSU. I got a new floppy dri've and PSU. I don't believe the sound card or Platinum dri've were effected because they both work fine otherwise.
Anyway I no longer get any sound from my headphones when they're plugged into the dri've, but do get sound when they're plugged into the Creative Labs remote control for my speakers. I get no sound from my mic when it's plugged into the mic jack on the Platinum dri've either. I haven't tested it with another jack yet, but assume it'd work.
I also notice in my Windows mixer, that the option for Line In/Mic 2 is no longer there, either in the main part, or under Recording. Line In/Mic 2 is the mic jack on the Platinum Dri've.
The Platinum dri've works fine otherwise. I can use the firewire port on it and I know it's receiving power because I can see the red light in the optical connector. To be sure, I went back inside my computer and doublechecked the connections. It IS hooked up properly.
How can I get the jacks to work again, short of uninstalling/reinstalling the driver? I don't think this is necessary because the sound works otherwise. Thanks all!

The Audigy dri've works from three different cables. One is the power cable, one is the IEEE394 cable, and the last is the data cable. If the power cable and IEEE394 cables are connected, but the data cable is not fully seated, you will see power from the optical output and the 394 port will work, but the inputs and outputs will not work or be seen by the Windows mixer.
I would definitely try reseating that data cable. Also make sure that none of the pins are bent. If that doesn't work, you may want to try moving the card to different slots.

Audigy Platinum only records at 48k 16 bit in Sound For

Can someone please tell me what i'm doing that's so stupid? I'm trying to use Sound Forge to record my DJ sets through my Audigy Platinum, but for some reason Sound Forge will only let me record at 48k 6 bit sample rate, and the monitoring is almost impossible - most of the time I get terrible feedback destroying my ears! If I then save something I've recorded as a 44.k wav file or a mp3 file, the sound blaster wont play it at all.
I've moved the Audigy from an older PC that died on me, and I didn't have the original disc (from 4 years ago) so I downloaded the drivers from the web, but it doesn't seem to be working too well.
Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong?
Cheers.
Simon

Ok, I have some more info in this. I can get Soundforge to work when it uses the Windows Sound Mapper, but not the Creative Asio driver. DOes this help? Does it matter which one Sound Forge uses?
Please help!
Your card supports ASIO only @ 6-bit/48 kHz (hard locked).
Are there other driver modes listed (MME Audigy, DS Audigy, DirectX)?
If 6/48 with ASIO is not enough, then use DS Audigy if possible.

Creative Audigy Platinum Installation Help with Pentium 4 3.2GHz HT Enab

:mansad:
Dear Fellows,I have recently upgraded to a new Pentium 4 machine. The config is as follows:Pentium 4 3.2eGHz MB cache HT (Hyper-Threading Enabled)Intel Original 865GBF MainboardGB Kingston DDR 400MHz RAM20GB SATA WD HDDSound Blaster Audigy PlatinumATI RADEON 8500 DV 64MBThe problem I am facing is with Audigy Platinum. Once I install the operating system (Win XP) and move to the installation of Creative Audigy Platinum Sound card. All the applications are installed and the system hangs while updating *drivers*. I restarted but it corrupts the whole operating system conflicting with Display Driver, Mainboard driver as well as Windows. CD/DVD Rom also disappear. I then reinstalled operating system again. I would like to request for help and solving this issue and I dont want to get rid of Creative Audigy. I have heard complaints with Hyper-threading technology but I disabled it and the same problem occured. I tried everything e.g. latest drivers from Creative website, BIOS updates, Driver updates etc etc. The problem starts once the drivers are to be updated for Creative Audigy Platinum.Anticipating your response soon.Regards,

Hi Jeremy,
I would like to thank you for your kind assistance with my problem.
Heres the good news, I finally managed to install and run my Creative Audigy Platinum perfectly.
Credit goes to your assitance and support.
For your info, I would like you to know what I really did.
I have an Intel Genuine 865GBF mainboard. I installed clean copy of Windows XP (SP) and downloaded and installed latest Chipset INF utility from Intel website. I guess this utility tells the mainboard what kind of hardware is configured on the board.
Please note that I did not add any PCI card except the AGP graphics card.
After finishing Windows XP, I installed the Creative Audigy Card in a different PCI slot. When windows started, it detected the sound card installed.
I simply ran the driver and programs from the Creative CD and it installed perfectly. I then updated the drivers downloaded from the Sound Blaster site in correct order.
After finishing with Creative Audigy Platinum installation. I installed other hardware devices, service packs, AV and applications.
Its the third day and everything is running well.
I just wrote the steps if someone else faces the same problem, he/she can sort it out the same way.
Thanks again for your help.
Best regards,
