Audigy SE and Logitech X-

I had SB Li've and had no problems with it for a long time, but for some reason it died on me and I got Audigy SE and now I am having problems with my speakers, I can only hear sound from FL and one with the power button and volume on (I think its FR). It is set up as 5. in Control Panel as well Creative MediaSource. I have new drivers and also I did re-format my computer but still the same problem. When I test my speakers I can hear sound and noise from all of them. I am not sure what to do?thanks

Hi There !
I have an Audigy with a Logitech X-530?( and had the same Problem?)?. The rear and center speakers are enabled only in Dolby Surround Sound and in games Supporting Dolby sound . if u want to make the Center speaker? ,? and the rear ones enabled , u should first fully install the software provided with the card then go to the EAX Console (Right Click on the Volume Icon on the taskbar then select it ) and enable audio Effect ( That's Optional ) , then Go to the CMSS 3D tab , enable it and select Stereo Sound . i had the same problem as u mentioned , i had an onboard Sound card , then i upgraded to Audigy and the Center & rear?Speakers were not working so i thought that may be the card was not working?Correctly , but?now Everythings is working
that's what i did ! :P hope that will work for u too , Let Me Know
( u may also test ure speakers and card by downloading a "Test Speaker Dolby Sound " )

  • Problem with Audigy 2ZS and Logitech z5500 speakers

    Hi, all. I've had my Audigy 2ZS for a while, and I've been using Creative 4. speakers. I just got the logitech z5500 5. speakers, and I've been trying to get them to work properly with my soundcard, but it's giving me headaches.
    The setup: I'm using the 3 direct inputs to go from the sound card to the speakers, so all the various digital issues I've read about *shouldn't* be issues for me.
    The problem: When I do my a sound test using the Speaker Settings controller, my rear speakers are reversed, and one of them doesn't play at all! I've confirmed that all my speakers work, and I've used the diagnostic tools that come with the speakers to make sure that the speakers themselves are set up and working correctly.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm really frustrated...this seems like it's either a card or software issue, but I'm just not certain how to fix it.
    Thanks!

    I had the same problem with two different X-Fi extreme music cards. I fixed it by running the speaker test for individual speakers and changin the speaker settings ad nauseum. 'tis an issue with the jack sensing on the drivers.
    If you unplug all the connectors and plug them back in, you'll find that some other channel gets screwed up.

  • Audigy 2zs and Logitech z-

    Hi,
    i connected my z-680 over digital out with a coax-cable. but if i'm watchin a dvd-film, my z-680 receives no dolby digital or dts signal. the same with all games. nobody seems to know something about this ugly problem. are these components incompatible?

    Silent-Phil,
    Have you try searching the forum for possible solution before you post? You need to disable the soundcard decoding and also your DVD software decoding feature.

  • Audigy SE and Logitech Z-550

    I recently purchased the . When I go throught the sound test, both front speakers respond to the Left Front test, and no speakers respond to the Front Right test. All the other tests work fine. When playing a CD, only the left front and subwoofer are working. I've triple checked all the connections and can't find anything odd. You think its the card or the speakers?

    Tried your advice. Got good results. Everything worked as supposed to. Think its my card or pc settings?

  • 2 Slight problems with SB Audigy 2 and Logitech X-

    Here's the first prob, my speaker set used to work perfectly fine, but one day, I unplugged my X-620 speakers, and used headphones, after re-plugging my X-620 speakers, I realised that the subwoofer and rear right speaker are ALWAYS on, when I turn down the knob on the speaker set, they are still very audible, if I take CMSS off, it stops this from happening, but I don't get any noise from my rear speakers, is there anyway to make it so that the speakers behave normally, because the sub and rear right are audible when vol is 0, the sound becomes really distorted when I turn it up loud.Second problem is regarding Norton Antivirus, I think my SB 2 software is inerferring with Norton AV 2005, could this be true?

    hmm.....don't think I understand what problem you have fter reading your post. Have you disable CMSS?Message Edited by justaguy on 0-04-200706:50 PM

  • Audigy 2 ZS and Logitech Z-680 problems, nothing coming from rear speake

    I've been trying everything to get sound out of these rear speakers but I'm having zero luck. I've installed the drivers I don't even know how many times. The speakers work fine when hooked up to my dvd player so I know the wiring is fine. However everytime I run these tests provided on the install, I get "front left... front center... front right..." and then nothing afterwards. Even though I should be getting "rear right... rear left". What can I do to get these speakers working?!
    by the way.. while I'm at it. The digital out on this card, am I able to hook that up to the z-680 console in some way? I have it conneced via 6 ch direct right now.

    Well I actually got it working last night, my analog connection that is. The weird thing is this: I took the green and black wires, connected to my 680 console and audigy 2, and switched them. As in, the green was in the front speakers minijack and the black was in the rear minijack, and I put the green in the black's connection and vice versa. Suddenly Everything works fine. I don't understand how that could possibly work but whatever.
    Now since this is working, should I even bother with a coax connection? During my extensi've reading yesterday, it seemed like coax was only good for dvds and not games. Seeing as how I have a seperate dvd player for all my movies, is it even worth it to open that RCA cable I bought?

  • Audigy problem with Logitech QuickCam Fusion Driv

    The new Logitech QuickCam Fusion camera driver software somehow causes the 4. and 5. to get messed on my Windows XP (sp2) computer.
    I spent a long time tracking the problem down including swapping out the Audigy itself, testing speakers on another computer, reinstalling creative drivers, bios, board drivers, etc. It didn't dawn on me that the Logitech driver would ever cause that kind of problem, so it was the last thing I checked.
    It causes the front speaker sounds to come out the rear speakers and the rear and center channels to get whisper quiet. And, all sounds come out of all of the speakers somewhat.
    Removing the QuickCam Fusion web camera driver instantly corrects the problem.
    I would like to know if others who have the Audigy, Audigy 2, and X-Fi have the same problems after installing the Logitech Fusion Web Cam.
    Could one of the Creative forum monitors kindly would check out this problem?
    Thanks
    JN

    One thing you might try to see if this corects the problem is to look in your control panel, and then sound, and there have you checked to be sure that the sound card and not the Logtiech Quick Cam is the default sound device? I know that some of those devices have their own microphone and codecs and those become the default after you install them. It will make the camera the default sound device. Sometimes they even plug into your "line-in" though not always.

  • Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS + Logitech Z-5500 5.1 Volume is TOOO low. PLEASE H

    I have an Audigy 2 ZS and Logitech z-5500 5. speakers. Everything was working fine and one day the volume was reduced to/0 of what it was supposed to be. The speakers are connected with analog cable (yellow/black/green) and all the connections are right (it was working before). I had the same problem when I installed the sound card at first, I just installed the drivers and the volume was way too low. I went to EAX Console and changed a few options and BANG, volume was normal. Some options on EAX will just make the soundcard stop working, like POP will work but ROCK will mute the sound completely (is it a crappy software?). Now I have the same problem, it works but it sounds like a walkman. I tried removing the drivers and installing it again several times, tried system restore and absolutely nothing works. Next step is re-installing windows and exorcising the sound card. Has this happened to anyone out there, I haven't seen any problems like this yet. Thanks

    Hey,
    I have a simmilar problem, i have a logitech z-680, and as i want to play audio-dvd my left rear channal has a very low sound. I played a bit in setup and it worked, i cleared my harddisc and installed windows and it worked for a few time, but then this happens. I had this problem that the whole left rear channel was quiet while every activity PC-games/normal stereo music but now is this problem only by the audio-dvd. I dont know whether it s an software problem or an hardware defect. But i think the last one is the cause.... I hope some one out there could help us/me

  • HELP!! Audigy 2 ZS + Logitech Z5500 speak

    Hi, i have the Audigy 2 ZS and Logitech Z5500 speaker (with decoder), i plug the speaker wires and 3 plugs correctly with the sound card, i install the Audigy 2 ZS software and driver by default, and i have set the speaker setting to 5. on the sound card, when i test the speakers from the sound card, the "channel" buttom, i can only hear "front left" and "front right", no sound coming from center and rears and sub. i have set the speaker to 5. on the speaker control pad, and from the speaker control pad had set to "direct", not optical or coax, i think everything is setup correctly. i also tried to disable the decoder from Audigy 2 ZS, but no change, when i press "channel", only can hear "front left" and "front right". Please help me......... thanks alot.

    <SPAN>i am 00% sure everything is connected correctly. When I use the Creative SB audigy 2 ZS software to test the speakers, on the "channel" buttom, i only hear sound coming from ?front left? and ?front right?, the rears and sub have no sound, I have set to ?6 channel? on the speaker control pad, and have set to 5. on Audigy 2 ZS, I had tried to disable the decoder from the sound card, but the problem still exist.<SPAN> When I set the speaker control pad to ?direct? effect on ?6 channel?, and test with the Audigy, I can hear ?front rightcenter?..all working, but when I listen to MP3 and CD, there are no sound come from the center speaker (on windows xp pro), But when I listen to MP3 and CD on Windows 98 (I have 2 systems installed on my computer), sound come from all speakers.<SPAN> Therefore, I believe that the sound card has problem running on Windows XP pro.

  • Centre Speaker problemo. Audigy 2 ZS, Logitech X-

    This problem is all over the forums already, but nothing i've found / read about has been able to solve it: my front centre speaker is playing softer than the rest (in CMSS and CMSS 2), and if i enable an EAX Equalizer i get no sound from the centre speaker at all. What im not sure about is where exactly the problem is lying... some people claim it to be codecs, others a hardware problem, others driver problems, etc. Im using an Audigy 2 ZS and Logitech X-530 5. speakers. I checked my windows setup, AC3 filter, AudioHQ, etc. and all have been set to 5. surround sound. In the speaker console, i test the speaker and it works fine (same loudness as the other speakers).
    I dont think its a driver problem. Im using the drivers that provide EAX4.0 support (the one which includes two driver updates, the 2003 and 2004 ones), but even before that i had the same problem (was using the drivers that came with the soundcard). I dont think its a hardware problem either, because the subwoofer's playing just fine, and the centre speaker does work... the sound's just really faint.
    The centre speaker works fine with DVD-Audio and DVD-Video tho (voice and other sounds channel perfectly). So im assuming its something to do with the codecs or something? I use Winamp 5.08 for MP3's and Windows Media Player 0 for audio CD's. For mpegs, avi's etc. i use WMP0 or VLC. Anything non-DVD gives me crap.

  • 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.

    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

  • Question about Audigy 4 and bug report regarding the THX-cons

    Will there be a non-pro version of the Audigy 4 and when?
    The THX-console doesn't remember its settings when I switch from one speaker config to another. This is pretty annoying since I use both a hi-fi system and headphones.
    Could you fix this please?
    Thanks!

    thanks for info. Sorry I didn't post this earlier but the slider has corrected itself. Also the is probably being used by the os

  • Audigy Platinum and 56K PCI modem confl

    I have had modem connection problems so I reformatted the hard dri've and reloaded the OS to get a clean start. Now, I have a conflict with the Audigy Platinum and 56K PCI modem. The sound card works great until I dial-out on the modem - at that point there is either no sound or a high-pitched tone is heard when a sound is played. Also, if I am activly connected to the internet and play a sound, the connection will drop and the modem will refuse to reconnect with various errors (no dial tone or port already open). The only way to reset the sound card and modem is to reboot. If I disable the Audigy card under device manager, the modem works great - connects and reconnects fine. BTW, this is the third PCI modem I have tried, all by different manufactures and chipsets, so I don't think it is a modem problem.
    Some system specs:XP Home SP 2Audigy Platinum with the latest production drivers availableUS Robotics 56K PCI modem model #5660AAsus A7N8X deluxe motherboard with on-board sound disabled
    The Audigy card is installed in a PCI slot that is not shared, also the Audigy card is using IRQ 5 and the modem is on IRQ using COMM port 3. Everything looks fine under Device Manager (no unknown devices or devices with errors). MSINFO32 shows no device conflicts.
    Has anyone seen this before? Any workarounds? Any idea why the Audigy card would conflict with the modem like this?
    Thanks,Terry C.

    I updated the BIOS to the latest ASUS release, 008, and it seemed to resolve the problem.

  • 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).

  • Sound Blaster Audigy Drivers and Applications CD-Rom

    Does anyone know where I can get or download?the "Sound Blaster Audigy" "Drivers and applications" CD-rom?
    I have included a pic below:

    jay23,
    First extract the RAR file you downloaded using WinRar. During the extraction, WinRar will create an ISO file which is an image of the installation CD. If you don't want to burn that ISO file to a CD, then download and install MagicDisc from the link I gave above. MagicDisc lets you mount an ISO file as a virtual hard dri've. You should be able to install from that virtual CD just as if it were a real hard copy CD, but I've never tried that so can't say for certain.

Maybe you are looking for
