Audigy platinum ex questions and advice - dual ouput or dual card - motherboard audio op has died

Hi all.
im new to the forums and would like some advice please.
i use my pc for mixing music and DJ'ing, but the problem that i have is that the onboard sound output has died. i need 2 intendant / separate sound outputs, one for preview, and one for main/live output.
Now, is it possible to configure a audigy platinum ex to provide the required outputs, and if so, how.
if this is not possible, can i use a soundblaster live card in the same pc to provide the required outputs, or as i suspect the answer is no to this due to shared file names within the drivers and such, is there a recommended card that i can use in conjunction with the audigy, or will any generic sound card do the job (for preview output).
i dont want to replace the motherboard and reinstall all the software at the moment, and i use mixmiester, fruityloops, reason and such for mixing/creating, and either mixmiester, tracktor, or pcdj fx for dj'ing.
many thanks in advance for your help and advice.
Adrian

mikiem ........... your a STAR.......
i didnt know that you could do that.....using the AISO driver allows access to all sorts of outputs..........when i have time im going to have to see what they all do, and what else is available, but the biggest thing is that it has sorted out some of my immediate problems......
i will need to go through all the software to see if i can get access to these outputs from it all, but it definitely works with mixmiester, so i dont need to re plot all the files.
just so that people know, i set the audigy speaker config to 4.0/4.1 in THX setup, and then looked in the advanced audio output section of mixmiester (under output config) and presto....2 independent audio outputs.
dont suppose that anyone knows where to get a complete and detailed manual for what all the software and hardware does and how to configure it all........
HUGE thanks mikiem........

  • SB Audigy Platinum SB0090 PlayCenter3_02_52 and SBAX_WBUP2_LB_2_09_0016 proble

    I lost my original software CD's for my Audigy Platinum (SB0090.) I downloaded SBAX_WBUP2_LB_2_09_006 drivers and PlayCenter3_02_52 as per the SB download site. The drivers work correctly. When I try to load the PlayCenter3_02_52 it says it won't work with the drivers (SBAX_WBUP2_LB_2_09_006) and that it must have the newer Li've! drivers.
    Frustrating to say the least. Incorrect files and a poor knowledge base make it so hard to install the devices. Can someone help with information on the product and files?
    Thanks
    Martin

    Vielleicht habe ich das auch mit der Installation der Audigy verwechselt. Sorry.
    Wenn ich derzeit die Treiber der X-Fi installiere, installiere ich immer die ben?tigten Anwendungen von der Original-CD. Erst danach mache ich die Updates von der Web-Seite drauf - allerdings immer manuell. Das Autoupdate habe ich leider noch nie probiert.
    Bei der Audigy und 2 habe ich am Schluss auch immer nur die Treiber installiert, sonst nichts. Die Lautsprecher-Einstellungen habe ich dann einfach mit der Audio-Console vorgenommen. Lautst?rke, Bass, H?hen kann man ja genausogut mit den Standard-Windows-Programm vornehmen, den Sinn der zus?tzlichen Creatve-Programme ging mir zunehmend verloren. Bei der X-Fi kann ich leider nicht alles mit Board-Mitteln einstellen, deshalb installiere ich nun wieder die Software..
    An Deiner Stelle w?rde ich alles mal deinstallieren. Dann Original-CD und die heruntergeladenen Updates installieren. So klappts bei der X-Fi wunderbar.
    Gr?e

  • Mac mini questions and advice.

    i'd like to eventually purchase a mac mini, but is the apple care protection plan worth it??? sorry multiple questions will a fully loaded mac mini 160 gb hard drive and 2 gigs of ram be an improvement over my current set up... pentium 4, 1.60 GHz.... 1.59 GHz, 512 mb of ram... 70.2gb hard drive
    one more question, will there be any trouble hooking up the mac mini to my 32 inch sony lcd.
    sorry for all the questions, would appreciate any advice and feedback.

    Can you give us the model number of your 32 inch Sony lcd? The Mini supports resolutions up to 1920x1200. We need to find out what kind of beast your 32 inch Sony is; it sounds kinda big for a regular monitor -- more like a TV display.
    Hard to say if the Mini will be an improvement over your PC, unless we know what programs you want to run. It would obviously be an improvement in term of security; you won't be worrying about keeping virus definitions up-to-date every week.
    I use a KVM switch to run my Mini and a PC with an IBM keyboard and a Dell LCD monitor. I had to experiment with several models of KVM to find one I liked.
    I also use Parallels to run Windows and Linux directly on my Mini at the same time I run Mac OS. Useful for work-flows that require Mac and WinXP/Linux programs simultaneously.
    You can buy and register AppleCare anytime during your first year of ownership. AppleCare gives you access to phone support, which might be useful to a first-time Mac user. You can buy AppleCare for less from some on-line retailers -- for example google for lacomputercompany. Be sure you buy the correct AppleCare for your Mac.
    Wireless generally works fine, though some non-apple wifi routers with old firmware have issues. In instances of range or compatibility problems, often a wireless ethernet bridge can solve the problem. These are inexpensive and involve no software, since they plug into the mini's ethernet port.
    If you are doing massive one-time file transfers, I'd strongly recommend connecting your Mini directly via ethernet cable to your router. This will save time and eliminate several possible sources of trouble. Save the wifi for your web interactions after you transfer the bulk of files from your PC.
    Regarding pictures and music ... if they are in standard formats like mp3 and jpg, then iTunes and iPhoto should be able to import them just fine. If the music is protected by Microsoft's "plays-for-sure" digital rights management scheme, you may be out of luck. If your music is already in iTunes for Windows, also no problem.
    Although you didn't ask, at some point you may need external storage for your Mini. Be sure to get an external drive that supports Firewire. This is preferable to drives that just support USB, though you can get models that support both. Firewire will be significantly faster and more reliable with your Mac.

  • Setup question and advice for Lightroom 4.1

    Hi,
    I'm upgrading from LR 3.6 to  LR 4.1 on my Windows 7 laptop with 8 gigs ram. I  need to free up space on my internal hard drive, so I'm moving my images to a 1T external hard drive, connected via usb 2.0 unfortunately.
    question 1: Does it matter in what order I do the above? In other words, should I do the upgrade to 4.1 first and then move my images/catalogue to the external hard drive or should I move my images and then upgrade?
    I've heard talk about how LR 4.1 is slower than  LR 3.6, so I'm, a little worried about performance.
    quesiton 2: Does anyone have an specific advice about configuring LR for best performance considering my files will be stored on external hd via USB 2?
    (I only use this computer for web surfing and imaging programs. Besides LR, I also run Camera Raw,  PS CS 5, and Premiere Elements. I  was thinking about making two catalogues- still images which I would move to the ext hd and movie clips which I would keep on the internal hd. Does that make sense? )
    thanks in advance,

    Doesn't matter, as long as you do it properly

    It is slower for some people, and not slower for other people. I don't think anyone in these forums has figured out what the reason is for slowness on some computers. The only thing you can do is try it on your computer. By the way, as far as I have read, the performance problems in Lightroom are not related to USB 2.

    Nope, multiple catalogs doesn't make sense to me. You are just reducing your efficiency by having multiple catalogs here. One catalog is easier, that way you never have to switch back and forth, you never wind up importing into the wrong catalog, you can search across all your photos and videos, etc. One catalog is the way to go.
    By the way, did I mention that one catalog is the right way to go? Because if I didn't mention it, let me state that one catalog is the way to go.

  • K9A Platinum ~ Purchasing Questions and Setup

    Hi, I'm trying to build a new system and I'm just having a TERRIBLE time getting a good motherboard to actually work.... I was running a Crossfire 939 AMD system and I wanted to upgrade it.
    I had originally purchased a DFI Lanparty 3200 Crossfire Intel board and a core duo 2 chip.  After the fact, I found out the board is very buggy and has a bad problem with memory post.  It got stuck in a C1 error and I could not fix it and had to send it back.
    I then decided to stick with AMD and I got a Asus M2R32-MVP board and a Athlon 64 FX-62 chip... again, I'm having problems as the motherboard will turn itself off within 2 seconds of turning it on. 
    I am considering running out to Microcenter this weekend and grabbing a K9A Platinum but I wanted to get some feedback before I bought it as to setting it up, if its compatible with my ram and power supply... I did read that the board is defaulted to 1.8v memory and the ram I have is 2.1v.
    I'm kinda at my wits end about this and I'm really frustrated.  I'll list the other components below:
    Thermaltake toughpower W0105RU ATX12V / EPS12V 700W Power Supply - Retail
    OCZ ATI CrossFire 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model OCZ2A8002GK - Retail (4 sticks = 4 gigs)
    NZXT Apollo BLACK NP Black SECC Steel Chassis ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail
    Western Digital Raptor WD1500ADFD 150GB 10,000 RPM Serial ATA150 Hard Drive - OEM
    And the AMD 64 FX-62 AM2
    Thanks!

    Thank you for the input...
    Also if you note... I do NOT  have any components hooked up to the board except the cpu, 1 ram stick and the psu.  I do not have my cards, my hard drives or my sound card hooked up.
    Its turning off by itself with nothing but the ram, the cpu and the psu hooked up.
    Can you recommend a higher wattage single rail than a 610?
    You really think its my power supply?

  • A few questions and advice

    Recently I swapped out my ADSL router modem for another, this caused all sorts of hassle so I put the old one back in. Since then I am having significant issues. Mostly with wireless.
    As I had not changed the airport extreme (n) I do not know why the wireless became an issue. Basically my laptop connects to the network fine with full strength but web access and local network access is variable, between normal and dead slow. I am at a loss to explain it.
    Another thing is that my ADLS modem is a draytek. And I currently have it set to DHCP and the airport to passthrough as this was what I was advised. Yet to my mind the airport extreme should take on the task of dishing out addresses as its got most things connected to it! Or put another way the draytek has one ethernet lead to the wan on the airport then from the airport my computers and a switch are connected.
    Would it make more sense to allow the airport to dish out IPs, does it make any difference?
    Any suggestions on what could have gone wrong on the wireless side would be most appreciated. For instance I was using Teleport just fine with it prior to the issue now Teleport has terrible troubles with frequent drop outs or losing control once its on the other mac leaving me with no mouse anywhere!
    One other thing are there any tools I can use to diagnose issues on the network beyond looking forlornly at the wireless bar showing full strength.

    um, no that does not seem to have fixed it after waking the macbook from sleep the speeds are rubbish again.
    If anyone is reading would an archieve install on the macbook be worth considering. Wireless from the imac seems fine. I think someting has gone pear shaped on the macbook,

  • Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum EX

    Hello, I have a Sound Blaster audigy platinum EX-, me and bought a new PC and have put my targeta SB, but in the installation as soon as this one quite made, when I want to calibrate my 5. puncturing in Mediasource's icon there goes out a mistake that he says: his targeta is not compatible with this controller. I have put him Win XP with SPack 3, as I have seen it is not drivers for this targeta with SPack 3, only it is with SPack 2, which I must do , do I put a SPack 2 Or is it drivers for SPack 3

    Hi Specter,
    Don't worry, it's better to ask questions and get the answers you need, than to be confused or unsure
    The first question is a bit subjecti've, some people may notice the difference, but the quality/SNR on those cards is very high so it shouldn't make much of a difference really. It will sound better aswell as you'll be hearing the full effects, in the proper speakers, instead of just stereo.
    As far as the second query goes, I can't really recommend any particular application to you personally, but others can add their input there. The full versions of the various applications should all pretty much have the same options, at least the ones I've tested generally allow you to change the audio option which is what you'll need if you want to connect digitally (most DVD applications now have a built-in decoder, but if you want the audio to be sent over the digital connection you need to turn off the decoding option, so it outputs the signal untouched, to your receiver). Trial versions don't have as many options though, so on some you might not be able to adjust the option you need, but that shouldn't be a problem on full versions.
    Hope that helps,
    Cat

  • Need application software for Audigy Platinum

    I just re-installed my Audigy Platinum card and dri've into an XP SP3 system, downloaded the latest drivers from Creative and it works just fine (ty Creative!). I even used the optical out connection to my Denon 5. AVR and it sounds great.
    However, I don't have any of the application software and can't seem to download that software from the website without having some old application software already installed. Is there a work around?
    I do have the original disk for the following Creative cards (which I also own):
    Sound Blaster 6 PCI (part # 220ML0003020)
    Sound Blaster Li've!? (part # 220ML0003060)
    Sound Blaster AWE64 (part # 73330530-)
    I'm reluctant to try installing any of the applications from these disks in order to enable the appropriate application software to be downloaded/installed off the web, as I don't want to risk messing up the present clean driver installation. I did try putting the disks in the dvd dri've to see if that would enable the download/install process (this has worked with other products) to no avail.
    I would very much like to have the complete set of applications for this still excellent card/dri've so I can enjoy the full functionality of the Audigy Platinum.
    Any and all assistance will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you,
    John W. Wright

    THANK YOU FOR THE ISO!!!
    It worked flawlessly.
    However, I did a messy job of installing it. I had installed the beta drivers before using the iso, and then when I installed the CD and its drivers none of the utilities worked. I then tried uninstalling the utilities but the installation stalled and failed repeatedly. Luckily, I had the option to system restore, but it was on a save point in the middle of installation. So its a pretty sloppy job.
    One thing: when switching between modules (EQ, or volume control, or EAX); there is a 6 second wait.
    Also, EAX reverb does not work well on Soundfonts (very faint reverb, but definetely not sufficient).
    But thank you very much for saving my life.

    I have not used my I tunes card.  I forgot my security questions and answers.  Now security section of my apple account has been locked.  How can I use my card?

    If you've disabled your account then you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    You might then need to log out of your account on your iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it
    For your security questions, the HT5312 page that you posted from has instructions for how to reset them i.e. if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account then steps 1 to 5 half-way down that page should give you a reset link.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 (you can also try this link if you can't get your account enabled via the above)
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use
