Audigy SE line-in prob

I have just purchased an Audigy SE and am having a problem using Line-in.
I am using a Gigabyte GA-7VAXP motherboard with onboard AC97 audio ( turned off using Bios ). Running Windows XP SP2
When using audio input from the Line-In, in the Surround Mixer all lines are muted except Master Control Volume and Line-In. All works well.
If I turn off the computer, when I reboot there is no audio out via line-in, though audio can be played via WAV input using internal players. There is no signal at the Record volume slider as I cannot record with an alternati've program.
If I un-mute either Microphone or S/PDIF-In, Line-In is automatically muted. ( On un-muting the Microphone input I get loud distorted sound ). If I now un-mute the Line-In it works as normal.
If I 'Restart' rather than 'Turn Off' the computer, audio starts to be heard almost as soon as the initial 'Windows Xp' screen is displayed and considerably before I get 'Windows starting up'
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

I just bought the Audigy SE and everything went sommothly until I tried using the Line In jack. I get nothing. On board audio is disabled, I removed all sound drivers, cleaned the registry, and reinstalled the Audigy softwar to no avail. Any help would be apreceiated. Sound output is great though. I used the same Line source with the built in audio system and had no problems. It is imperati've that I get this port working, as it playde a huge roll in the tasks I was undertaking. THere is a download patch hat fixes something. It is 55 Mb. I am on a slow dial up connection and it would take me a week or so to grab this file. My Modem is my Cell Phone and the Computer dopes not keep it charged, so I am limited to small chunks fo time after 9:0PM until 6:00AM which are off peak hours so it dowen't cost me. I li've a long way from any town around me abuot 20 miles. Our town has one cell tower and I li've almost 5 miles away from it. I have to use an external antenna just to connect. Help Me!

  • Audigy ZS Line-In prob

    Hi, just a quick problem I need a little help with if possible? I have just basically bought the Audigy ZS Soundcard, here is my problem. I've been hooking up my turntables to my PC via the Line-In port on my Audigy Soundcard to back-up my vinyl. Everything sounds very very good, the sound quality I'm very happy with......except, I've noticed whilst recording, if someone sends me an instant message via MSN, or I open a new folder, the click or MSN sound also gets recorded? This is obviously quite annoying as it means I can't do anything else whilst recording, I'm pretty sure it shouldn't be like this and should only record input coming through the Line-In socket? Please tell me if I'm wrong or how to fix this problem. I was recording earlier, whilst recording I began listening to an Online radio station, then to my horror when I played back my recording, I had my record with radio over the top!!! :-( Any help what-so-ever would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance

    Hi Jeremy
    The noise I get is a background static.
    The TV card I'm using is a WinTV-USB Hauppauge ( I know its not very high quality )
    The cable is sheided good ( I used the same cable with my all in wonder pro 9700, but thats in a diff. machine now)
    I unplugged the line in cable from the win TV but left it in the sound card and was still getting the static.
    I'm going to look for a different cable to see if that works.
    Thanks for the Ideas.

  • Audigy 2 ZS under Vista - Line-in prob

    I've a problem with my Audigy 2 ZS card running under Windows Vista Ultimate 32bits. I record using the line-in and it records fine but ONLY if I unmute the line-in sound in the speakers setup... and I just want to record it, NOT no hear it. I mean, I have the record level at 00% in the Recording Devices->Analog Mix properties, but it won't record anything unless I also set it to a high level and unmute it in Playback Devices->Speakers properties. I tryied uninstalling the drivers, then removing everything left with Driver Sweeper and the reinstalling them again, but I still have the same problem. Any ideas?
    BTW, I already have checked "Record without monitoring" in the Analog Mix->Custom tab, but it only mutes the speaker output when I'm acti'vely recording, before and after that precise moment I can still hear the line-in output. Also using the Microphone device is not an option because the line-in device has a much cleaner (i.e. less noisy) signal.
    Thanks!

    I've reinstalled windows vista and still have the same problem... any clue how to fix it without having to go back to XP?

    Well, if you disable the source you're recording from (Line-In), how on earth could it be possible to record from it then?
    There is also a setting called "Record Without Monitoring" behind the tiny '+' sign. Have you tried if disabling Monitoring has any effect?

  • Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Line In Prob

    Hi all,
    New here and have a problem I'm hoping someone can give me some definiti've advice on.
    I'm currently doing some music recording on my PC of some Roland V-Drums and guitars (via a Line 6 Toneport) The V-Drums are Line Level, however when I run them through the Front Line In/Mic In input (Set to Line In), the volume is extrememly low and the resultant sound is very tinny. If I switch to the Mic 2 input via the knob, the levels and sound improve greatly, however it's still not as full as it should be.
    The Line 6 Toneport also acts as a Soundcard (via USB) and running the V-Drums through the Toneport Line In gives a great, full, crisp sound, so I know that the V-Drum's output is Line Level and correct. I currently have ZS setup as the sound playback device and the Lineport for everything else. I am running a Mono Patch Cable from the Lineport Phones Out into the Front Line In/Mic In input set to Mic. This lets me carry out my recordings but the sound quality through the PC's speakers (Creative 5.) is average at best.
    I'd really like to use the Line In instead of the Mic In as the overall quality of the Line In should be better than the Mic In. I just can't seem to get anything remotely decent out of the Line In input. I've also tried running into the rear Line In with the same result.
    I've searched the forum and have noticed that there are a few members with similar Line In issues but there are no answers to any of these problems. Finally, I've updated all of my drivers, etc to the latest and greatest with no change.
    Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Anybody ?

  • Audigy 2 zs line in prob

    Im using a TV tuner and the audio needs to be hooked up to line in on sound card, but when ever I do this it creates a background noise that is very loud.
    this noise is on every program I use, ( games, mp3's, windows media, and so on )
    as soon as I take the line in out it sounds great.
    any ideas?

  • SB Audigy 2 ZS: Line in prob

    I've got some problems with that my Line in-port seems to show up as an output source - which makes it quite complicated to use for input. It works when I connect the cable to the Microphone port, but i can't even find the Line in as an input source.. What should I do?

    Fixed; For some reason, only a reboot was needed..

  • Audigy LS Line In recording prob

    First off I did a search for my problem and I found a couple of posts with my symptom, however there was no real solution or answer given. Here are my two issues:
    Line in recording is only in mono. While Im recording, if I look at the Left/Right monitor, the left is moving the right has nothing.
    Also the playback volume is very weak. I have the recording volume maxed out and while Im recording the volume is great, the playback volume is 25% of recording volume.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    I was going through the FAQ and found this.... "The left/right LED VU meter provides a visual display of the recording levels. For best recordings, the LED should be around the 80% mark of the bar and it should not be hitting 00% mark constantly."
    ) only the my left meter moves
    2) it only goes about 0% of the way up. According to this, it should be around 80%

  • No signal from audigy 2zs line out j

    Hey there....due to a virus, I recently had to format my dri've and reinstall XP and all my apps including software for my Audigy 2 ZS soundcard. Before the format I had my sound and video card connect to my TV to extend my PC display and audio to my home entertainment system. The external speakers were connected through the line out # jack on the rear of the sound card and I could hear everything playing just fine when my TV was on and the correct video signal line input was selected (video #2 in my case), but now I can't hear anything (video is playing back fine on the TV, just with no sound). I've checked my audio settings and I think they're correct - if there is a mute switch for any of the line out jacks in the creative audigy software or in windows' volume control panel I sure can't find it.
    I'm sure its a settings thing because I didn't touch the cable connections, and I double checked to ensure they are all connected tightly/correctly as they were before the reinstall.
    If anybody has any pointers, man that would be helpful....thanks!

    Yup, my digital speakers are connected through the digital out jack.
    Device manager shows the device working correctly - no issues or exclamation marks.
    Not one ioda of hardware was moved, not one cable unplugged or any other config changed before or after the re-formatting of the hard dri've. Software o/s and applications only.
    The soundblaster card properties in device manager shows no conflicts....everything is working fine, but there is a setting somewhere that is being missed I suspect; I have gone ever every option in all of the soundblaster audigy audio control software installed that came bundled with the card, checked online for latest drivers which I've got installed, and did a clean uninstall/reinstall using creative's 6 step-by-step guide. I also checked all windows xp based audio controls even though I've checked the option that enables the audigy controls to sync with the windows ones as you probably already know.
    To my knowledge, there is no way to disable line out signal from this card - its there, you plug in your external and go. And with no config changes at all, no hardware changes, no cables unplugged etc. I don't know what else to do. (except email creative support which I did a few minutes ago).
    Thanks Katman.

  • Audigy 4 Line-in probl

    I have tried using the the line-in feautures of the new Audigy 4, however apart from the microphone I can't get the other line-ins (2 and 3) to work. Mainly trying to hook up a guitar. I've tried straight from the guitar to the external box, then from the amp (clean setting) and still nothing. At best I get a static like sound. One of my electric guitars gives out a recognizable sound, although it's garbled at best.
    Greatly frustrated at the fact that Creative persists with giving out no manual whatsoever and that the online version is joke. Any help in this matter is greatly appreciated.

    i have the same problem, i can't use line in of the hub (neither the headphone on the hub) while all other stuff seems to work as it should (volume and remote control at least)
    Did u solved the problem?

  • Audigy AUD_EXT 'line out' questi

    I found the details for the pin assignments on the AUD_EXT connector for my Audigy card. Using this information I was able to connect an old SP-DIF connector (with optical & coaxial outputs) from an old motherboard to my Audigy, and I'm now using the digital output connector to put sound to my speakers.
    What I'd like to do now is make up a front 3.5mm headphone jack and mount it to my case. However, the instructions here: <A href="]http://dmzweb4.europe.creative.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE/,/?St=72,E=0000000000084728396,K=8924,Sxi=2,Case=obj (3026),Kb=ww_english_add,VARSET=ws:http://uk.europe.creative.com[/url]
    (Creative knowledge base solution ID # 3026) don't specifically list an analogue output. Pins 0, , & 3 are listed as 'general purpose output', but that could mean just about anything. If anyone has any ideas as to which, if any, of the AUD_EXT pins are suitable for left, right, and ground for a 3.5mm stereo jack please let me know.
    Oh, and if there's the possibility of a stereo 'line in' as well, that would be great too.

    You have A/D converter(s) on that dri've bay --> analog signal(s) is converted to digital there --> Audigy card gets signal in digital format from dri've bay.
    For headphone out, there is D/A converter and opamp on dri've bay --> audigy sends signal in digital format to dri've bay and the signal is converted to analg signal there.
    From digi-life's review:
    <i>"It should be noted that, unlike in the Game Theater XP from Hercules, a signal proceeds to the external Audigy Dri've unit and back only in a digital mode. And it is very good! I.e. the external module has its own separate converters! There are 2 Philips chips UDA36T which serve an ADC. The DAC is marked as stereo XWM8728 (compatible with SACD, 24bit/92kHz format) from Wolfson."</i>

  • Audigy 4 / Line-In not listed as sour

    Hello, I have installed a new Audigy 4 sound card into my computer yesterday. And since then I have been trying to figure out why the Line-In is not listed as a source to record from.
    It is listed under volume control, but nowhere in my computer, in the supplied software, or in my recording software will it let me select the Line-In.
    It gives me the options of using:
    MIDI Synth
    S/PDIF-In
    "What U Hear"
    Analog Mix (Line/CD/Aux/TAD/PC)
    Microphone
    Wave
    But seems to completely ignore that there is a Line-In source by itself.
    I can hear the Line-In perfectly when something is plugged into it, and it records fine with "What U Hear" or Analog mix, but those settings are not usefull to me because I need to be able to record just the isolated Line-In source without recording any sounds that are already playing.
    Anybody have a solution?

    On the Audigy family there is no line-in. To use the line-in, you need to set your recording source to be "Analogue mix" and tick the option "Record without monitoring" in the recording source's advanced properties.

  • Audigy LS line in digital out no so

    I have an Audigy LS card. I have my Playstation 2 running into my line in. RCA to 3.5mm connector. I have digital output turned out to make my speakers work. My speakers work fine when playing and audio on my pc. However the audio from the ps2 does not come out of the speakers. If i turn digital output off, the ps2 audio plays fine out of my headphones. Is there any solution to make the ps2 audio come out of my regular speakers ? or would i need to purchase either a card with a digital in, or speakers that are not digital ? Help is much appreciated I'm about to smash things.....

    Then, as has been said already, it appears it's a hardware defect. This might be a workaround, if you're up to it, and if that part of the input circuit isn't damaged. That last is a big if, so if it were me, I'd jumper a connection and try it before going to a lot of trouble. There's also an AUX input on the card, although I don't know what the input specs are for that. It's meant to connect to the analog output of a CD-ROM, so it won't work for a mic directly connected, but it might take line-level from an external device.

    This problem occurrs with both the line in and mic and yes, the 20db is selected. I can playback from all sources on the computer, although I am unable to hear any sound from the microphone source and line in, as well as being unable to record from it. The speaker test works fine, I only have a 2. setup, and Digital output is disabled. I have tried many different sources of microphones, amplified mics and tv and keyboard outputs into both the line in and microphone in the card and have got nothing from all these outputs on both inputs using various leads! I have also turned off EAX although this had made no difference.

  • DJ Mixer recieving audigy 2 line-out at very low levels

    Hello to everyone on the forum.
    I am having a problem hooking up my Numark 5000FX mixer to my audigy 2 soundcard. What I am trying to do is have two 2cm line out to RCA cables from front/rear speaker out on the card to two phono channels on the mixer. The phono inputs are set to line on the mixer.
    The mixer is recieving this "line level output" at levels that barely register on the pre fader meters. Meanwhile, I have an old pre-amped philips turntable that I can connect to the mixer the same way and it works fine (peaking at 0dB).
    All the levels from the soundcard are at maximum, and the gain on the mixer is at max also.
    Does anyone know what could be causing this?
    Thanks for your time,
    Kim

    This may have been the wrong section to post this in, sorry. Maybe if a mod could move it...

  • Audigy 2 NX hardware prob

    My audugy shut off today and all the leds are flashing. I checked the transformer output where I have 5 volts, but after connecting to the Audigy I have only 3.3 volts, and I think is not enaugh to get it working.What could be happened?

    reato,
    Can you open up the power supply (might be a screw)? See if the capacitor looks damaged. If it's electrolytic, it may appear swollen or have a dark oily-like fluid on it or around the leads. If it's ceramic, it may appear burnt or cracked. Based on other posts, you may have success replacing a broken cap with one with the same specs :-) Note the polarity before you remove the broken cap, and solder in the new one in the same direction. (Disconnect from line voltage and the NX, of course, before opening and working on the power supply.) I'd still test first with another power supply if possible. You don't want to "fix" your power supply if it isn't broken.Message Edited by Katman on 02-8-200703:42 PM
