Audigy2 ZS produces crackling/popping noise if Media player is not started as the first prog

Hello all!
I have had lots of problems installing my Audigy2 ZS Video Editor, but I have finally got it to work (at least under limited conditions).
When I start my laptop, I have to start Windows Media Player right away in order for the music to sound OK (I have the Audigy2 connected to a Pioneer receiver through a digital coax cable).
If I start any other program first (e.g., Microsoft Explorer, Outlook, Word, quicktime) sound from the soundcard is heavily contaminated with crackling, popping and just general noise. The only way to get it to work again is to reboot.
The same problem occurs if I start another media program e.g., Quicktime, winamp, (after having started Windows Media Player) that accesses the soundcard. The only way to get good sound again is to reboot and immediately start Microsoft Media Player.
I have tried lots of things including cleensweep, re-installation, driver update etc. etc...
What is the problem? Is there a cure? Can I adjust some settings to get it to work or is it a serious bug?
If anyone knows what may be the problem and how to solve it, please advise!!!
Thanks!!

Genki,
Try muting the Wave and/or Line/Mic/VideoIn in the Creative Surround Mixer to see if that hel

  • How do I pop-up a media player modal view in iPhone app?

    Hi,
    I would love to know how the mail app in the iphone pops up a media player modal view when you click on an audio attachment in an email. The media player view slides up, plays the file, then slides away, giving control back to the mail app. Does anyone know how this is done?
    Thanks!

    It also matters not where the media files are stored (laptop hard drive or network drive).
    AppleTV relies on iTunes to stream local content.
    Not the most environmentally friendly option but that's the way it is.

  • Media Encoder CC not starting

    Windows7 64 bit
    Media Encoder CC (7.0.1)
    AME worked a while. I exported a couple of jobs to it's queue. All good. Tried to cancel the jobs and it seemed to hang. Had to kill the application from task manager.
    Since then AME will not run. It crashes on startup. No splash screen.. nothing. Appears briefly in task manager then dissapears.
    I have deleted all files from C:\Users\login\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\7.0
    Have reinstalled PremierProCC after uninstalling and using the cleanup tool.
    Still no luck. Is there a queue file anywhere that should be deleted?  A registry entry maybe?

    Tried everything....Reinstalled...twice..
    Cleaned everything using REVO uninstaller..
    This Frustration made me Format my PC too..and made a fresh install
    no Response yet
    1. Media Encoder worked fine since last 4 weeks..

  • I can sync media files from Windows Media Player to my ipod, but the information will not show up on my ipod. Why?

    I HATE using iTunes (it's a pain in the bleeping arse) so, despite what someone from Apple told me, I tried to sync a song from Windows Media Player onto my ipod. The sync appears to be successful, and yet when I ejected my ipod to check to see if the song was on there, it was not. Why? And how do I get it on there? I want to avoid using iTunes at all costs.

    Try MediaMonkey or Winamp. Unlike Windows Media Player which will just blindly throw the files onto the iPod's hard drive these two at least (there may be others) know that they have to update the device's database if you are going to be able to access the content that has been added.

  • Windows Media Player does not recognize new downloaded songs

    I have a Pavilion a4310f Prod Nr:  AY014AA-ABA running Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit.
    I just discovered that Windows Media Player does not recognize songs I recently downloaded from the Wal-Mart Music Download Site.  The songs can be seen in the Music Library in a folder named "Downloads" and I can open each song and it will play when double clicked.  The problem is that I can not create a playlist containing the new songs and burn a copy of the playlist because the songs are not listed in the Media Player library no matter hot it is sorted (Artist, Album, Genre, etc).
    Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    You might also want to consider moving the songs to my Music or the folder you have WMP set as your Music folder. You can find/change that folder in WMP by going to File ---> Manage Libraries
    Launch WMP ----> Tools ----> Options --->Privacy and be sure that the Display information from the internet box is checked.

  • Why is Media Encoder app not listed in the apps for download in CC?

    Media Encoder application does not appear in the list of apps I can download from Creative Cloud.
    It appears as separate application in the Adobe products, so NOT part of Premiere Pro or similar.
    How can I get to download the Media Encoder app?

  • Adobe Media Player does not show day 5

    On my computer, the Adobe Media Player does not show day 5. Shows days 1 through 4.
    Also on Day 4, trying to view the video "Create States and How to bind them"
    I get a "corrupt file" error when trying to watch using the Adobe Media Player...
    Also will someone please give a clear statement how to do a download of the files so
    we can watch them off line.  This still isn't clear to me.
    I don't know what Craig is talking about below: How does that relate to downloading the

  • Adobe Media Encoder does not start queue

    Hi, 5 days ago I started having problems with AME 6, just updated version 6.0.3.1 (64 bit). I work with premiere 6  version 6.0.5, windows xp, always worked since this week, AME :doesn.t start the queue. after 2 minutes working you can hear the sheep sound and the report says: unknown error, unable to locate or read original file. I updated everything was available, reinstalled the suite (premiere and encore 6), it's still not working.
    Do you have any idea about the problem?
    thank you
    Francesco

    The status "Waiting" indicates that the job is ready to be encoded. As of CS5.5, AME by default does not start processing the Queue automatically. Instead, it waits for you to start encoding by clicking the Start Queue button in the upper right corner of the window--it looks like the Play button on a media player or editing app. Watch folders are an exception to this rule: jobs that come in via watched folders start automatically by default.
    You have the option of having AME start encoding automatically. To enable this, check the "Start queue automatically when idle for <n.n> minutes" and set the desired wait period.

  • Windows Media Player in Windows 7 displays the same album art picture for nearly all songs!

    Hello,
    I have just installed Windows 7 Home Premium as a clean install on my PC.  I then imported all my music files back onto the PC and opened up Windows Media Player and found that probably 95% of the songs have the same album cover (Timbaland - Shock Value) against them, instead of how thety were before (either the correct album art, or no album art at all).  Does anybody have any ideas what is going on here as it is pretty annoying that nearly every song has the same album art cover.
    If anyone has any ideas I'd be very grateful.
    Thanks,

    Hi Parkesian,
    I would like to suggest you reset the database for Windows Media Player 12 to check the issue.
    Clear the Windows Media Player database
    ========================================
    1. Close Windows Media Player.
    2. Press Win + R to open Run, copy "%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Media Player" (without the quotation marks) to the Open box and press Enter.
    3. In the Media Player folder, delete all of the files.
    Note that it is not necessary to remove the folders that are also in this folder.
    4. Restart Windows Media Player.
    At this point Windows Media Player will automatically rebuild the database.
    What’s the result?

  • Windows Media Player does not play Streaming me

    After installing All the Software for Audigy 2ZS Platinum. My Windows Media Player will not play any video streams from MSN or Yahoo. Is there any known conflict with any of the software or how can I make the software compatible with WMP v0 windows XP.

    Hi,
    Try the following to force Windows Media Player to re-build the Library Database.
    A useful utility for viewing all the files on your PC is called Free Commander, on the link below, as it displays folders that the Operating System normally hides and has a good search function.
    http://www.snapfiles.com/php/download.php?id=107872&a=7122339&tag=601108&loc=10
    This is a zipped file.  If you don't have an extraction utility installed, download and install 7-Zip which can be used to open this so that you can run the installer.
    Make sure Windows Media Player and Windows Media Centre are closed.
    Launch Free Commander, double click Users, double click 'your user name', double click Local Settings, double click Application Data, double click Microsoft and double click Media Player.  Delete all the files that have the extension .wmdb - do not delete any folders.
    Close Free Commander and open Windows Media Player - it will now begin to re-build the library database which may take a while, but when it has finished see if the movie files play Ok now.

  • Publishing point is not starting in the windows media server

    In the setup VCS expressway starter pack is used as call controller & the endpoints are registered to it.  TCS is used for recording.  A existing publishing point is used for live streaming using windows media server.  This publishing point is not started when the recording starts for this recording alias.  Windows media server is running locally in the TCS.  I could see the below in the server logs.  Please note that this setup has worked with this configuration for more than a year and it stopped working now.  Your help on this greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

  • Verizon Media Manager will not start automatically with Windows, even though it is set to do so.

    Verizon Media Manager will not start automatically with Windows, even though it is set to do so.  This started with the latest update.  I see that the desktop icon for Media Manager now has a security shield on it, and it requires UAC confirmation when you start it, which I don't remember the old version doing.
    One thing I noticed, msconfig.exe shows that "C:\Program Files\Verizon\McciTrayApp.exe" is set to start at Windows startup, but the desktop icon used to start Media Manager manually has a target of ""C:\Program Files\Verizon\Verizon Media Manager\Release\Verizon Media Manager.exe" Verizon Media Manager".
    I don't remember what the previous version was, but this one is 9.4.86.  It asked me if I wanted to update it a few days ago, and I said yes.
    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium.
