Audio IC OP-AMP Tests with RMAA and Audigy 2ZS Platinum

Here are some [url="http://www.jensign.com/RMAA/RMAAOpAmpTests.html">RMAA test results[/url]?and basic circuit-design information for a few commercial audio IC op am

The information might be useful for those wanting to build utility audio circuits for various purposes.
I'll add?more results as time permits.

The ZxR has asio according to Creative's product sheet.
Maybe you should contact tech support again and put in the above link and ask why they say that there is no asio support !
I don't use asio so I don't know more about it.

I Have had a problem for ages. I have the Audigy 2 ZS Platinum and Inspire 5. digital 5500.
I have copied the advice I received/didnt recieve from creative.
Best of luck
Dear Martin
Thanks for your reply
I am sorry for the problem you are facing.
To achieve outputs from all the speaker during speaker test, you will need to have an analog connection, or digital DIN connection.
That will be possible if you connect the three line out jacks on your soundcard, to the three audio input (analog jacks->green,black,orange) on your speaker, if it has this connection. Or, you may connect them using Digital DIN, if they have this connection.
If you are using digital connection (coaxial, optical), there will be no way to achieve sound output from all the speakers during 5. speaker test, as they carry stereo signal.

Hi
I understand you must be busy, so no problem.
No I do not hear EAX when in Pro-logic mode. I only hear (depending on the game in question)
Half life two: front left-right and centre. NO rears
Fear: Front, left, right, & centre. No rears
Farcry Front left, right & centre. No Rears
When I run your speaker test HISSSSS, No Rears, no front left or right
Beats me?

If you select Dolby Prologic mode on the decoder, are you able to listen
the game audio, with EAX, in all of the speakers?

Hello
Your email was helpful, unfortunately, not for my unit, you see I would
have
connected the Jack leads in by now if the inspire had Jack lead inputs
as
you describe
Please don't think I am being sarcastic, but from reading the
correspondence
below it would seem as if your department is having difficulty
understanding
my problem.
Also it would seem your department doesn't have the necessary technical
information on your very own product, so to help with your dilemma I
have
taken photos of the input/outputs on the Inspire unit.
You will clearly see the inspire has no inputs other than Coaxial and
Optic.
This leaves me back to my last post. I think the solution would be for
me to
purchase the correct processor, which would have come with the original
sound card had I not been a little tight on the money front.
I have attached a photo of the sound card with the processor, I would
love
to buy this processor but find myself unable to locate this product on
your
web site. Would you possibly be able to send me the correct link to this
item so I can buy this Processor Please?
Kind regards

Your soundcard is Audigy 2 ZS
Your speaker is Creative Inspire 5. Digital 5500
You will need to have a 3:3 cable(with the color green, black, orange)
to connect your soundcard to your speaker, to achieve the 5. effects
with games.
Below is the connection:
- Connect line out jack of Audigy 2 ZS
to 'Front' of Creative Inspire 5. Digital 5500 using the green color
connection
- Connect line out 2 jack of Audigy 2 ZS
to 'Rear' of Creative Inspire 5. Digital 5500 using the black color
connection
- Connect line out 3 jack of Audigy 2 ZS
to 'Center/Subwoofer' of Creative Inspire 5. Digital 5500 using the
orange color connection
Once you have done the correct connection, play the game DOOM3.
Ensure you have selected either the EAX or surround option in the game
settings.
Does it work?

You have lost me. Your sound card clearly states that I can have EAX
surround decoding from the sound card I have purchased.
All of the games on your web site claim to give me an environmental
effect
that will blow my mind, hence EAX.
All I have done wrong is NOT buying your decoder that comes with the
sound
card. My mistake.
All I want to do is re-address this issue and buy the correct
decoder/processor.
Can you point me to the correct link on your web site so I can buy the
correct decoder/processor?
As for the PCM out of the above cables, this foxes me as my other
equipment
only use Optical cabling on my Lexicon processor and from that I have DD
7., DTS 7. and meridian 5. lossless.
My issue is more to do with NO EAX from the rear and centre channels
while
in-game.

Thanks for your reply
All commercial digital connection eg. optical or coaxial cable will only
carry PCM stereo signal. If you want to output the signal to a surround
5. with extra EAX environment effects, it will not be possible at all
since it is only restricted to stereo channel signal.
As per current industry limitations, we are bound to follow the standard
one-signal output for all our SPDIF and Optical output jacks. This is
something that is currently shared by all vendors for all products.
Please note that all games are not dolby digital, even they are , it
will require certain motherboard to encode it to dolby digital signal,
which our soundcard does not support.
You can only use analog connections to gain true 5. surround for
gaming..

Hi Joong
I don't fully understand your email, but I do get the gist of what

Dear Martin
Thank you for the reply.
Computer games written with support for 3D audio do not require a Dolby
Digital Interacti've Content Encoder (DICE) to output multichannel sound,
with no exceptions. Sound devices that support the real time encoder
technology from Dolby will simply receive the multichannel wave file
output and encode it in real time to a somewhat modified Dolby Digital
bitstream. Creative does not support the Dolby Digital Interacti've
Content Encoder on any of its sound cards.
The only difference between a Sound Blaster card and an audio card that
has a real time encoder, is that you can make a one-wire, digital
connection from your audio card to your home theater receiver and enjoy
discrete multichannel sound from the game. However there will be a
continuous, slight delay, known as "latency", as the encoder is creating
and transmitting the bitstream, and of course the compression scheme
being used is "lossy" (i.e. not bit-accurate).
If you want to enjoy 3D audio in 3D enabled PC games in multichannel
surround sound with a Sound Blaster card, it is recommended that you
connect the analog outputs of the sound card directly to the analog
inputs of the receiver. This will require 3 cables for 5. surround
sound, one for front right and left, one for rear left and right, and
another one for front center and subwoofer. Though it requires more
cables than a real time encoder system, it will not have any latency
issues. When connecting PC audio to a home theater receiver, Creative's
latest sound cards such as Sound Blaster Audigy, Sound Blaster Audigy 2
are likely to provide higher quality audio than any Dolby Digital real
time encode system available for the PC today.

Hi
One particular game which has "in-game" DD is Farcry; I used this as my

No, inspire 5500 does not automatically switch while "in-game" when DD
is present as you would expect, but does if it was a Movie, which makes
me
think the DD stream isn't getting to the processor.
I originally thought I could put all this to rest if I could buy the
control
panel that would have come with the Sound card if I had not tried to
save
money, but every time I search your accessories site I get completely
lost,
it really isn't user friendly, the sub-menus are very time consuming and
point you in the wrong direction because they are not categorised as Joe

I downloaded your TEST Movies and creative demo player utility, ran it

still no EAX HD or DD if that were present.
I want to put this card and Processor into my boys computer (which is

Have you done the appropriate settings in the game to achieve the 5.

Audigy 2ZS Platinum Pro - ...trying to record with Videostudio, Virtual VCR, Roxio DVD Builder

...just bought (and installed) a SoundBlaster Audigy 2ZS Platinum Pro - the one with the "breakout box" - to replace the on-board Dell audio sound system, which seems to have died after 4 months.
I am able to get good, clear sound from any and all applications that use "playback" audio.
At present, I can get "playback sound" from one program feature that came with my capture device - an Aver Media USB 300, which was plugged in to the "Line in 2" socket on the break out box. Then I tried to record with it... - "Record Operation Failure!" I'm stilll waiting to see what responses I get from the Aver message board in that regard.
Then I tried recording video (and the accompanying audio) with Ulead Videostudio 8, Virtual VCR, and Roxio DVD Builder, none of which could record sound, even in "preview mode". Before the on board sound system stopped functioning, those features worked on all of the above programs except for Virtual VCR, which I hadn't yet installed or tried out.
I've checked the Play/Record Volume Control in "Accessories/Entertainment" and the Line 2 is activated and selected. I've tried plugging in to Line /Mic but that hasn't worked either. I need to go to Radio Shack to get an adapter to plug in to Line 3 and give that a try.
But before I spend even more money, have you ever seen anything like this?
- Jeff.

Jorge,
Thanks kindly for the suggestion, during the installation it did not complain about this patch being installed allready, I'll give this one more shot and see if it persits.
I ran memtest on the machine (10 cycles) wow this thing (G5) is loud in single user mode. I guess the fans don't have power management enabled.
I'm guessing that the issue is from lack of RAM, (512) but I am not 100% on this. Though my research points towards that, It's kind of odd that an app would reach into some other memory segment.
Thank You Again.
I throught all Tiger updates would be obtainable via "Software Update" . I should have searched support.apple.com first.

Hi - for any photo, info in mountain lion shows a different file size than Photoshop does. I've tested with CS3 and CS6 and get the same problem. Doesn't happen with CS3 and OSX10.4 or any previous versions of Photoshop and OSX. Anyone know why?

Hi - for any photo, info in mountain lion shows a different file size than Photoshop does. I've tested with both CS3 and CS6 on 10.8.2 and get the same problem. This doesn't happen with CS3 and OSX10.4 or any previous versions of Photoshop and OSX. Anyone know why?

this one is actually a really rare symptom of a flaky connection to the ipod on a Windows PC. there's more going on in terms of hardware on nanos and 5th gens than in the earlier models ... so if the connection is flaky to precisely the right/wrong degree, itunes will see the ipod, but misidentify it as an earlier version of ipod.
tracking down the cause of the flakiness can be tricky ... as you already know ...
just checking. have you tried connecting with a different (known-good) USB cable? does that seem to have any impact on the rate of occurence of the problem?

Big Problems with Vista and Audigy

Hello.
My name is Jana and I'm from Germany. This board is my last hope now.
I have big problems to use my audigy 2zs in Vista Business (32 bit).
I use the latest driver from 9.3.07.
The installation process works fine and I get no errors. But I can't start the AudioConSole . I always get an error, that no audio device was found (error message is german)?!? The device manager shows no problems and the audigy 2zs is correctly listed.
I need this AudioConSole to activate the 5. speaker settings. In the sound preferences in Vista is that not possible.
My speakers also need the creative software from cd to activate the bass, but I when I install this software and then restart, only a few programs are installed (but they don't work). I need especially the speaker settings but there is unfortunately no way to install this software.
I did this procedure at least 5, 6 or 7 times, but it always don't works.
So please can you help me?
Sry for my bad english.

Hmm... Try to redownload the drivers from the website, because Creative has updated them to include a proper signature. It is possible that the drivers do not load if they are not signed, which would explain why the AudioConsole does not launch. Also, Windows Vista does the Bass redirection by itself:? If you select 5. speakers from the standard Control Panel, you will be asked whether you have satellites or full-range speakers. Selecting satellites means that the lower frequencies need to be played by the Subwoofer instead. If that still doesn't work, you can do the following:? Extract the downloaded drivers using WinRAR (or similar) (right-click and then extract). Then go to the Subfolder "Drivers\wdm\common\i386"? and run "CtPanel.exe". From there going to the speakers tab there is a "BASS-M" option...

Audio USB crackles on MBP with Retina and Mountain Lion

I have a USB device connected to my MacBook Pro with Retina Display and the audio crackles no matter what I play. I hardly have any processing working and there are no other USB devices. I think that this was working under Lion but I think this is a problem under Mountain Lion. Anyone else have this problem? I am trying to determine whether the problem is in the MBP or the OS...

Could be it needs to be connected to both USB port by using a Y USB cable to supply enough power to it. And it won't show up unless there is a CD or DVD disc in it.

"alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device"
both as root and as a user. I've added the user to the audio group.
Running alsaconf just locks up Konsole.
I've tested this with both devfs and udev.

Does anyone know what might be wrong?
Should I compile a newer kernel?

CPU temp with Zalman9700 and MSI P965 Platinum ?

Hi.
its funny. My old Asrock DUAL-VSTA showed CPU temp and other temps in programs like HMonitor and Speedfan but this
MSI dosent show anything about CPU in any programs ?
I must say, i was a little confused when i installed the board because there was 2 CPU fan slots, one with 4 pins and one with
3. I have a Zalman CNPS 9700 LED, very nice fan btw. Shoulden this fan be controled by the CPU automaticly ? i do have a
fan regulator in the end of the wire outside the cabinet. I have it on the bag side of the computer case so i can turn it op and
down. But i think i read someware that it could be controled automaticly. Is that right ?
And what about the 3 and 4 pins CPU fan slots on the board. Right now i cant remember in witch of the 3 or 4 slot i installed
the fan in to. But anybody know witch slot is the right one for my CPU fan ?

Listen. Forgot to say.
I'm still a little little bit concerned about 40c-41c idle. but but.
Relax, it's quite alright...

But what i was trying to say is. I have 3 running SATA drives also and only the stock (Normal) 120 fan that came with the Antec case.
1 fan, the Zalman 9700LED and the PSU fan ofcause. and then OC at 300FSB. Could that be why i'm at 40c idle ?
All the drives + only 1 fan in the case ? i mean. I'm not shure the standard 120 fan that came with the Antec case is good enough.
Any sugestions ?
My case has three 120mm case fan in addition to the 120mm power supply and the Zalman fan, five of them altogether. The Antec P180 case has separate compartment for the hard drives and the power supply, which made a big difference from the temperature's perspective. The box also has four hard drives and I do not OC; I did try, but I didn't see much of a difference and shut it off.

btw. what is a good stress test apps to test my cpu temp with on max load ?
The Orthos Stress Prime is pretty good and so is Intel's TAT; the link I've posted earlier has more information.

Problem with EAX in audigy 2 platinum

I have the soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS When i listen to music i always have the pop effect on on eax console. there are quite a few times that when i turn the effect on i cant hear any sound on my computer. the problem does not exist with the environmental effects (like theater , concert hall etc) only with the advanced EQ. had this problem for ages. i installed countless times new drivers but no luck. that used to happen with my old soundblaster platinum too

fedepolito,
I assume that you are running WinXP with Service Pack 3. Did you do a clean sweep of all the Creative Software and reinstall from the A2ZS CD? Do you get sound then?
Me disculpo que no entend?a que todo que usted dijo en su poste. Asumo que usted est? funcionando Windows XP con el Service Pack 3. ?Usted hizo un retiro del barrido limpio de todo el Creative software?

Java Plug-in / JSObject support with IE and Firefox

Hi there,
Basicaly, the idea behind is to write objects in Java to replace or extend functionnalities of a web page (like XMLHttpRequest object). Those objects should support event handler writen in Javascript.
My first idea was to create JavaBeans and instantiate them through OBJECT tags in HTML (not as ActiveX objects). I don't find a way to instatiate a Javabean which was not also an applet.
Does someone knows how to ?
Anyway, the OBJECT tag may not work with Netscape. So, I went to use the APPLET tag with the Sun Java Plug-in.
I've made some tests with IE and Firefox and there is at least two differences between them (both use the Sun Java Plug-in) :
1/ Firefox / JSObject
When you pass a Javascript object to a Java method, it seems that you
cannot use methods like 'getMember', 'call', etc on this object.
(invocation of the method works but returns null)
But, if you access the same object form inside Java starting by
JSObject.getWindows(...) and so on, it works fine.
IE works in all cases.
Example, with the Java applet and HTML below :
. Java applet :
| package JavaJS;
|
| import netscape.javascript.*;
|
| public class FirefoxApplet
|        extends java.applet.Applet {
|   netscape.javascript.JSObject win = null;
|
|   public void init() {
|     win = netscape.javascript.JSObject.getWindow(this);
|   }
|
|   public Object getJSObjectMember( netscape.javascript.JSObject jso, String member ) {
|     return jso.getMember(member);
|   }
|
|   public netscape.javascript.JSObject getJSObjectFromPath( String jsoPath ) {
|     String [] jsoNames = jsoPath.split("\\.");
|     netscape.javascript.JSObject jso = win;
|
|     for( int i = 0; ( i < jsoNames.length ); i++ )
|       jso = (netscape.javascript.JSObject)jso.getMember(jsoNames);
|
| return jso;
| }
|
| public Object getJSObjectPathMember( String jsoPath, String member ) {
| return getJSObjectMember(getJSObjectFromPath(jsoPath),member);
| }
| }
[i]. HTML page :| <HTML>
| <HEAD>
| <TITLE>FirefoxApplet</TITLE>
| <META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

| }
| }
|
| function go() {
| print(ffxa.getJSObjectMember(o,"s"));
| print(ffxa.getJSObjectMember(o.o,"s"));
| print(ffxa.getJSObjectPathMember("o","s"));
| print(ffxa.getJSObjectPathMember("o.o","s"));
| print(ffxa.getJSObjectMember(ffxa.getJSObjectFromPath("o"),"s"));
| print(ffxa.getJSObjectMember(ffxa.getJSObjectFromPath("o.o"),"s"));
| }
|
| function print( text ) {
| txa.value = txa.value+text+"\n";
| }
|
| function loaded() {
| ffxa = document.getElementById("ffxa");
| txa = document.getElementById("txa");
|
| }

| </APPLET><BR>
| <INPUT type="button" onclick="go()" value="Go"><BR>
| <TEXTAREA id="txa" rows="10" cols="40"></TEXTAREA>
| </BODY>
| </HTML>
When the HTML page has loaded, a click on the Go button gives :
. Firefox output :
| null
| null
| object o, member s
| object o.o, member s
| null
| null
. IE output :
| object o, member s
| object o.o, member s
| object o, member s
| object o.o, member s
| object o, member s
| object o.o, member s
2/ Internet Explorer / JSObject
As we have seen in the previous example, passing Javascript object to
an applet method works. Here, the problem comes when a Javascript object
is pass to a method that's not an applet's method.
If within the applet, you instantiate a new Java object and then
call from Javascript a method on this object with a Javascript object as
parameter then an Exception is raised when invoking that method.
Firefox works fine here.
Example, with the Java applet and HTML page below :
. Java applet :
| package JavaJS;
|
| public class IEApplet extends java.applet.Applet {
|
|   public void init() {
|   }
|
|   public Object echo( Object object ) {
|     return object;
|   }
|
|   public Object newEcho() {
|     return new Echo();
|   }
| }
. Java Echo class
| package JavaJS;
|
| public class Echo {
|
|   public Echo() {
|   }
|
|   public Object echo(Object object) {
|     return object;
|   }
| }
. HTML page :
| <HTML>
|   <HEAD>
|     <TITLE>IEApplet</TITLE>
|     <META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
|     <META http-equiv="Content-Script-Type" content="text/javascript">
|     <SCRIPT>
|       var iea = null;
|       var txa = null;
|
|       var o = {
|         s : "object o, member s",
|         o : {
|           s : "object o.o, member s"
|         }
|       }
|
|       function go() {
|         print(iea.echo(o));
|         print(iea.newEcho().echo(o));
|       }
|
|       function print( text ) {
|         txa.value = txa.value+text+"\n";
|       }
|
|       function loaded() {
|         iea = document.getElementById("iea");
|         txa = document.getElementById("txa");
|
|       }
|     </SCRIPT>
|   </HEAD>
|   <BODY onload="loaded()">
|     <APPLET id="iea"
|             code="JavaJS.IEApplet.class"
|             width="0"
|             height="0"
|             MAYSCRIPT>
|     </APPLET><BR>
|     <INPUT type="button" onclick="go()" value="Go"><BR>
|     <TEXTAREA id="txa" rows="10" cols="40"></TEXTAREA>
|   </BODY>
| </HTML>When the HTML page has loaded, a click on the Go button gives :
. Firefox output :
| [object Object]
| [object Object]
. IE output :
| [object Object]
with this Exception on the second method invocation :
| java.lang.ClassCastException
|      at sun.plugin.com.DispatchImpl.convertParams(Unknown Source)
|      at sun.plugin.com.DispatchImpl.invokeImpl(Unknown Source)
|      at sun.plugin.com.DispatchImpl$1.run(Unknown Source)
|      at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
|      at sun.plugin.com.DispatchImpl.invoke(Unknown Source)
| java.lang.Exception: java.lang.ClassCastException
|      at sun.plugin.com.DispatchImpl.invokeImpl(Unknown Source)

|      at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
|      at sun.plugin.com.DispatchImpl.invoke(Unknown Source)There is a workaround for this, it's possible to wrap the Javascript object
in a Java object with an applet method and then use this Java object as
parameter.
Anyway, my questions are : regarding points 1/ and 2/ are these bugs with the Sun Java Plug-in ? or someone could explain these behaviors ?
Thanks for your reading.

Pop up box with Ok and Cancel choices, not working. Please Help.

Hello! I am trying to create a pop up box that allows users to choose Ok and Cancel (i'm just testing with Ok and Cancel for now). For some reason when I run it a CMD line pops up and closes very quickly, but i do not get errors. Here is my code:
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
PopupForm popup = new PopupForm();
DialogResult dialogresult = popup.ShowDialog();
if (dialogresult == DialogResult.OK)
Console.WriteLine("You clicked OK");
else if (dialogresult == DialogResult.Cancel)
Console.WriteLine("You clicked either Cancel or X button in the top right corner");
popup.Dispose();
Please help!
Thanks

Hi Rocketman123,
Per my understanding, you are developing a winform application, but in your code, I see "Console.WriteLine".
So please use MessageBox.Show() instead.

Working with Lightroom and Bridge

I have been using Lightroom for my photos, but was thinking of doing the following:
- Use Bridge to import files, and sort and tag them
- This has the benefit of allowing me to categorize movies, etc.
- Then open and use Lightroom for editing, etc.
Q1: LR is non-destructive. If I add a tag to an image in Bridge, does that write it to the file? Is it non-destructive.
Q2: If I import files into Bridge, do I open LR and import them in there too, or can I simply share the photos between the 2 programs?
Q3: Does LR read the keyword tags from Bridge?
Thoughts?
Thanks...
John

I use Bridge exclusively for culling, editing, keywording. It is faster at those tasks, since it does not require importing everything into a database in order to edit them and then export them. I also already have a DAM that I presently prefer to LR, and likewise for slide shows and printing. I do maintain a 20,000 image test catalog in LR so that I can thoroughly test each of its trial versions, so I am very familiar with it from the first Beta testing to the present.
As long as you write your metadata to sidecars--or directly to tif and jpeg files, or DNG-- both Bridge and LR can see the changes made in either. However, if after you have imported files into the LR Library--and you must do that in order to use any of the features of LR on images--and subsequently delete them, then you must synchronize the folder they are in(lightroom menu item)to clear those image references from Lightrooom's Library. Same goes for adding files to a folder from outside of LR. There are a few things you must remember to do. It is not an entirely automatic process.
If you do a lot of work in PS on your images, you will likely find that working in Bridge with its very fast connection to PS will be faster. If you also do a lot of video--or mixed video,graphics, and image work, you are also likely to find Bridge faster and more workflow effective. LR is strictly a Photographic image management and editing application, from which you can do basic printing, very basic slideshows, and web work.
On the other hand, if you do little editing beyond what ACR provides (same features as LR) and need a DAM that manages only photographic images, and you find the LR Print, web and slideshow features satsifactory, then LR will overall be the more effective workflow.
The only way to determine which is right for you is to give your workflow a thorough test with LR and compare that to Bridge. LR 2.3 appears to be free of significant bugs, is fast and smooth, so this would is a good time for comparison. Bridge CS4/ACR 5.3 have been significantly upgraded as well, as you know. Workflows differ, sometimes significantly, as do machine configurations, so thorough individual testing is a must. Use the tools that will do the best job for your requirements.
