Audigy SE and AL ADA885 problem needs to be solved once and for

I just purchased the Audigy SE (I'm on a budget) and installed it. I have the Altec Lansing ADA885 THX 4. digital surround speakers. This sound card DOES NOT work correctly with them. I have been all over the net trying everything that I have seen suggested to make it work. The specs say it should work. It does not. I have tried every possible wiring configuration to no avail. One thing that I find rather annoying is that I have seen several people say that changing the SPDIF to passthrough fixes the problem, yet I cannot find anywhere to change that setting, as I cannot find Audio HQ on the driver CD or on the net to install and change that setting. Can someone, for the love of god, please come up with a valid solution to this problem? I have seen so many people with this same problem who get the run around and answers that just don't help at all. What is needed is "Here, do a, then do b, download c, and BAM! problem solved". Not "Here, do f, do h, download c, j, k, m, and p, then go back and do f again, then a, then b, then come back here and let us know that none of it fixed the problem". I don't wish to be a whiner or a jerk about this, but it is a bit frustrating to be "upgrading" to a card that won't even work right. On behalf of all those with the same problem, thanks in advance to anyone who has a valid solution to this very big, very real problem.

OK...
. Do you have the complete application suie of the Audigy SE installed?
2. If so, in Control Panel do you have the Audio Console or Audio Control Panel?
3. If you do, change the settings for Decoder Settings to SPDIF passthrough. (THis is however only of AC-3 content, it doesn't affect other formats) (I am not sure the Audigy SE does have a decoder, if not, you need to change the setting in the AC-3 decoder you use)
4. Then go to Device settings and change the Digital Output sampling rate to 48kHz.
Now if you cannot find Audio Console, then you should download the latest drivers. They specifically state they allow you to change the "SPDIF output Sampling rate", so you should be able to access the option. I believe your problem lies to the fact your SPDIF is configured for 96kHz output and most probably these very old speakers do not support more than 48kHz.
PS: The instruction I posted above, are based on an Audigy 2 ZS setup, so the naming of the settings and access programs could be different on the SE, but nevertheless present.

Easy but tough problem needs to be solved

Hi,u guys!
I got a very tough problem here.
I have an xml , for example,
<doc>
<Location value= "abc"/>
</doc>
I need to print this xml.(e.g. I would use System.out.println to print the result, which will be exact the same as the example above. How can I do.
I have tried
Element DocEl=doc.getDocumentElement();
NodeList nl=DocEl.getChildNodes();
System.out.println("nl" + nl.toString());
but the result is:nl [doc null]. And the parse of this xml is going well.
No idea what happens.
Plz help me!
Thanks

Hi, thanks for ur reply.
I know what u mean here. In fact, the program is running well in my laptop , and the result is correct too. The problem is the program can not be running in my desktop, with the same java vision and IDE. That is the point of the problem. I was wonderring that the java sentence I posted above is not correct, and that is possible anyway.
Forget what I said. How can I make this come true?
Thanks.

SB Audigy 2 Platinum Remote Control Problem, Need THis Resolved quic

Hi
this is a Known issue to Symantec Support, I really really want to be able to use my Audigy 2 Remote Control with this Soundcard, but I can't, until Symantec or YOUR SLOW AS MOLASSES COMPANY UPDATES MEDIASOURCE SOFTWARE SO THESE 2 PROGRAMS DON"T CONFLICT, WITH REMOTE CENTER LOADING ON STARTUP, IT WILL NOT LOAD AUTOPROTECT FOR NORTON ANTIVIRUS 2005
FIX THIS, and quickly, is all I have to say
Or let use SB Audigy 2 Platinum Users download the newest versions of the software

Hi
I don't have that file on startup--SBDrvdet, All I have is Creative DVD Audio Driver Detector, CTHelper, and RCman, which is disabled so Norton's Autoprotect will work ok.
Thanks for the reply though
Here is Symantecs workaround, I guess I can li've with these, but if Norton's Autoprotect winds up disabling by this workaround, and I happen to get a trojan or virus in..then I won't be very happy

After Disabling Creative DVD Audio Detector, I reenabled the Remote Control and restarted, and so far so good last 2 days without a conflict With Norton Antivirus, if it really does solve the problem, I will email Symantec Support and let them know the solution, so they can inform other users with the same problem, since obviously creative doesn't want to assist them in finding the problem or provide help fixing it. So far Remote Control hasn't been an issue, but I'm gonna wait til end of month to send off an email to Symantec to make sure it's actually fixed. Since if it doesn't drop out of me by then, then I know it's fixed, since was only in 2 weeks before it got the internal program error before.

Hi Vikash,
This query will not produce results as per requirement:

Nope.
can you check the original post first. It clearly states output as having 7 as id for all the records with 888,xyz

Problems: Audigy SE and DirectSo

I've got an Audigy SE and have been having some (minor) issues. I've run the Creative Diagnostics and the card is failing the DirectSound test. I went through the steps to completely remove the drivers and reinstall them fresh and once they were gone I installed the drivers from my original CD and then ran the diagnostics again. Success! All test passed. I then updated my drivers (once via the AutoUpdate and once manually) and ran the diagnostics again. Failure! The DirectSound test failed. For now I'll be reverting back to the old drivers from the CD. Is there any way to update and still have DirectSound work properly?
Help appreciated.
~Darxide

I have that problem too.
There are 2 driver versions in the download page and in the Automatic Update utility, the first (the older version: SBA_PCDRV_LB__04_006.exe) works fine but the newer one doesn't work properly with Audigy SE (SB24_VTDRV_LB__04_0077.exe).
Looks like it installs a mix of files for Audigy and SB24, and that makes the card useless.
Also, I've got the same problem as many other people, the audio quality really sucks even compared to my cheap onboard chip, the software included is a mess and gives even less options than my onboard chip's drivers. Like Karaoke, the checkmark to remove voice is not enabled but I can do it even with my old 2. onboard chip.
Games like Half-Life 2: Deathmatch crashes often with it (I guess all Source games become unstable), and the <possible> solution, the newer drivers, simply don't work.
Please Creative fix these problems, because with the actual state of things this simply don't work (I'm back with the onboard chip now).

I want to perform bidirectional i/o using a pci-6534.The problem is that i need to use the same lines for i/p and o/p. is that possible?

I want to perform bidirectional i/o using a pci-6534.The problem is that i need to use the same lines for i/p and o/p. is that possible? And if it is how an i doing this?

Hi I Pant,
The idea that crossed my mind was to tie each of the lines coming from/going to "your device" to two of the DIO lines. Configure one these two ports as input, the other as output.
When you want to read the state of the line, read from the line configured as input. Similarly, use the other port when it is time to write.
Provided "your device" uses tri-state drivers/receivers, or can be used in a "wired-OR" configuration, this may work.
What is "your device"?

Temporarily freezing audigy 2 and firewire not working - sol

hi,
i had two problems with my audigy 2 using windows xp:
a) my firewire port didnt appear to work. i had only one device using firewire which was my creative jukebox zen. i could only transfer 95% of the first mp3 and then it would say that my mp3 player is not responding.
b) i experienced random and temporary freezes, not only while gaming but even when writing e-mails. everything would hang for a few seconds and then continue to work like if you write text it will appear after the hang.
firewire: i used my audigy 2 in my old pc with windows me and win 2000 without any problems. neither with firewire nor with the eax4 driver patch. under win xp i could only transfer mp3s via usb and that is slow as hell as you can imagine. i first tried if transfers using the firewire port on my mobo worked but it didnt, same prob. i found a fix from microsoft that is not listed in windowsupdate at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en (KB885222). that did not solve this issue but maybe you need that too so I mention it here. then i found some new drivers on the creative site. "oh you fool, why didnt you say earlier that you're using old drivers?" someone might say but these drivers dont work or more specifically, its setup routine sux. it quits with "an error occurred". wow cool... but it appears as it unpacks the driver to c:\program files\creative\jukebox3 or something (note, i have a zen and not a jb3...) so I uninstalled everything, rebooted and told the device manager manually to get the drivers from that location. now it works.
freezes: it took me many, many hours to search the internet, but i found absolutely nothing. sure i'm using the latest drivers (yea they actually work), put the card in slot3 and stuff. then i found a post on this board that mentioned that this guy's audigy had a heat problem. it became too hot and hung. hmm. i have 2x 2cm fans sucking heat out of the box through the radiator of my water cooling so heat is actually mostly get rid of through water and whatever else produces heat (harddisc, video card ram etc) is cooled by some really strong air flow. so wth, this card has worked for almost 2 years in my old box. so i opened the case and saw that air circulation around the audigy was impossible as its sandwitched by two other cards. those parts that i was able to touch were not that hot but i dont know how hot the main chip became and i have no clue why a sound card can become too hot from playing an mp3... anyway, i have left my case open and since then i havent had any freezes. now i also know why the freezes suddenly appeared and not since after i setup my box 3 months ago: it was open until i had cut a hole for the radiator...
oh yea, its good that my expensi've creative stuff works and that it was not creative's fault but that of a moron of a user. now honestly, how is an average user supposed to get their product working when the knowledge base is totally outdated and gives advice such as "update your bios, get the latest drivers and dont put your card into the microwave", when mods in this forum give advice like the knowledge base and the driver is not even installable? creative products are not bad at all, they're not cheap at all too. but the support page is absolutely not informati've and the knowledgebase does not give solutions to known issues. i was never ever able to find anything useful there and i'm really really not an average user but a very experienced one. not everyone wants to use a pre-installed dell box with el-cheapo components. i like to put my own high-end rig together and things must be pushed to the limit BUT still be absolutely rock solid. let me list my recent experience with creative products during the past 2 years:
-) bought an inspire 6. surround system and even replaced my audigy with version 2 for it. but unfortunately the subwoofer had a problem. it randomly made a popping noise which was so loud that it pushed your adrenaline level to that of a base jumper. i then found out that the whole batch had some faulty component. at least i got a replacement within a week, so i thought "yea, great support".
-) bought a jukebox zen, 20gb with firewire. it worked great for almost a year. then it died. when i switched it on, only the creative logo appeared, thats it. recovery mode was inaccessible too. it took me 2 months to convince the support lady to let me return this junk. first they sent me a new adapter because maybe it was damaged and the battery was low and therefore it didnt work anymore... then i was told, ok you can have a new one but we dont have firewire versions in stock anymore. you can have a usb one now or you wait until we get the firewire zen again. i said wtf, you produce this so why dont you have them in stock? and the usb version is sure not an equivalent to my firewire player. woot after 2 months i got a new mp3 player... had to rip 250 cds again (i really prefer having originals) and copy them to the player, but ok, i'm happy again. no, i'm not. this one doesnt work properly either. everytime i dont use the player for more than 24 hours i have to rebuild the database and scan the harddisc. that takes about 0 minutes for like 3000 songs!! grr... but i didnt want to argue with the tech support about that, i can li've with that. maybe i can flash to an older bios if i find one somewhere. from what i read somewhere it is caused by the zen going from hibernate into "off power" mode and then it forgets a few things.
and now i had the two issues described above and had to find a solution myself because the support pages dont help at all. sure you can say i should have thought of a heat problem but all important components are watercooled (even the north bridge) and i had some good airflow in general, but not around the sound card. and who knows that the audigy is that sensiti've to heat and that a sound card even gets hot at all. i've never heard of sound card cooling... i'm not that disappointed about the quality of the hardware because it is ok imo, but with the horrible lack of quality of the support and the buggy driver installation. hey, you get free advice by your customers, think about that. they tell you by themselves what the problem is and what they think may cause it. sure many posts are just flames but you should take ppl here more seriously. and if other manufacturers are to blame then put a list together like: msi k8n neo2 platinum - in this case upgrade to bios .2 or in that case install this or turn on/off that.
alright, i hope anyone can use this information. sorry for the length but i wanted to describe things as precisely as necessary. cheers from austria.

Creative Audigy 2 and Windows Vista: Sound volume turns down when I try to turn it

I have a strange problem with my audio in Vista. I have a Creative Audigy 2 and Creative 6700 speakers. My full system specification is below but please note I did not have this issue in my previous Vista build - its only happening since I did a reinstall. Anyway, when I swich on the speakers using the remote control unit for the 6700 speakers the sound comes on but then it turns down. I have to then increase the volume by a large amount for it to start playing sound again and then turn it down to listening volume. This issue is not application specific - it happens in everything: Winamp, WMP, games, etc etc?I'm using [color="#000000"]Creative Sound Blaster Audigy series Vista Driver 2.2.0002 and I've tried reinstall several times. I've tried doing diagnostic startup etc using msconfig in case something was conflicting and its still happening.

Have you checked the volume button? It might be physically stuck. To determine whether a hardware repair is needed, you need to follow these steps:
1. Try doing a hard reset:
Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
After that: test the device to see whether the issue is solved.
2. If the issue is not solved, you should backup the device and restore it as new.
In that case, use: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup.
If the issue persists after restoring as new, you should offer the device for service.
If you get specific error messages/codes in iTunes when updating/restoring, check this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694 for causes and solutions
Good luck

Audigy 4 and digital NAD L70 surround system - No surround?

Hi guys and girls.
I have a fine Audigy 4 sound card and an even more fine NAD L70 A/V surround system (DVD player and mid-powered surround amplifier - The baby brother of this one: http://www.nadelectronics.com/av_rec...73_framset.htm ).
I have 4 speakers connected to the L70, 2 front and 2 rear.
My problem is, that I cannot get any sound out of the rear speakers, when testing e.g. the Creative Speaker Calibrator.
I've connected the computer to the L70 via the Digital Out on the Audigy 4 and the Digital Coaxial In on the L70.
I've set the Input Selector to Cable/Sat.
I've set the Speaker Configuration to
- Front: Large
- Center: None
- Surr: Large
- Sub: None
I've set the Creative Speaker Settings to "4/4.1 Speakers".
Where am I doing wrong? Why is it so hard to set up to work correctly?
And why cant I find a "Digital Out Only" button as with my old SB Live! 5.1
I've tried several (all?) possible combinations on the computer side and on the amplifier side, with no help.
I can get music from the computer to go to all speakers by switching between the surround modes on the L70.
Has anyone tried anything like this?
Very best regards

Lex,
The information I gave Felix2 is not "horrible" or wrong, they are the truth. There is no need to start attacking again, if you are not clear on the information I gave in his thread, ask for more clarification, but do not attack.
If you are having problems getting it set up, it's best to provide some detail on what settings you have changed, how everything is configured, and someone will probably be able to help you.
The start of your post isn't very clear, do you have a standard Audigy 4 or an Audigy 4 Pro? The Audigy 4 Pro does have an optical output on the external dri'vebay, the standard Audigy 4 (just a card) does not have an optical output. You would need to connect through a coaxial input (minijack to RCA, then RCA-RCA).

Audigy SE not working...NEED HELP BAD!

I have been really frustrated over the past week trying to fix this "no sound" problem. There is no sound coming from speakers and yes, I already checked if it was my speakers and they work perfectly fine. For some reason whenever I play a music file from either iTunes or Windows Media Player it says its playing and no sound is coming out. I checked all drivers in device manager and they are all updated, all enabled, and all working. I already checked if it was on mute and if the volume was on. I need desperate help with this extremely difficult problem because im really, REALLY frustrated with this issue. Thanks and please HELP!! =(
