Audio Trouble: SoundBlaster Audigy with ABIT AS8 motherboa

Having trouble getting audio to work on my new ABIT AS8 motherboard. No mixer device detected. No audio devices detected.Creative SoundBllaster Audigy Card and Software/drivers are installed.Have uninstalled ABIT's Realtech '97, etc. hardware from system, but still no sound. When uninstalled, message appears saying 3D.dll program from ABIT uGuru audio driver is needed. Have uninstalled and re-installed SoundBlaster Audigy software/drivers, but still no go. Get message saying detects previous sound driver which can interfere with audio function during installation, even when ABIT Realtech '97 audio software/drivers are supposedly uninstalled. No other sound drivers or software is on my system.Seems that Multimedia Audio driver has to be the uGuru, AS8 audio driver!
Want to use my SounBlaster software on my system...Any help will be much appreciated!

Thanks for the reply.
I've got everything working after an MS service pack 2 update.
Still have a question mark by multimedia device controller in the device manager, though...
Do I still need to disable the on board sound divice in the system bios?
Will this help out with the multimedia device controller issue?
thanks a bunch!!

No 5.1 audio in Soundblaster Audigy Platinum

Hi, i have downloaded the last drivers aviable for Windows Vista and i have configured the console to 5. audio, but the computer only sounds in stereo; no rear, no front no bass... i don't know what do i have to do so i can enjoy my card in vista.
I tried to configure it by the options that Windows provides but then the sound disappear.
Thx for any help you give me.

That a fresh install or old install of Vista .You should have stuck with cd drivers the new ones have problems . I have the x-fi Platinum i got for peanuts and I am using in 7. in Vista Ultimate 32 bit and it also worked in 64bit also . I would say remove the old drivers but that will not help even if you use a driver cleaner i have no idea what creative does but i had my system running great and installed the new drivers and had centre channel only with mono signals and i tryed everything and had to resort to reinstalling .

Z68A-GD65 (G3) - Motherboard's not booting with a PCI Soundblaster Audigy 2.

Hi everybody, as thread title says I've got some trouble with my motherboard, Z68A-GD65 (G3) and a Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS that a friend of mine gave to me. I gave a try in both PCI slots avaiable on the motherboard but as i place the SB in PCI slot 1 or PCI slot 2 the system do not boot up. As soon as i take it off, the system works great as usual.
Of course i disabled the onboard audio to avoid resource sharing between the two. This is the only hint i had reading around on MSI trobleshootin.
The only other parameter i can change regarding PCI is latency in the BIOS. I found to be 32 cycle by default and i did not modified it.
The Audigy works flawlessly on another Intel P45 Board from a different brand and with the same video card in the PCI-E Slot. Of course Cpu end Ram ar different. When i did the try i disconnected everything unnecessary for the boot process.
Any hint would be very appreciated.
Thanks, Daniele.

As i read on manual, the PCI setting into the bios is not something can cause instability:
PCI Subsystem Settings
Press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu.
PCI Latency Timer
This item controls how long each PCI device can hold the bus before another
takes over. When set to higher values, every PCI device can conduct transactions
for a longer time and thus improve the effective PCI bandwidth. For better PCI
performance, you should set the item to higher values.

Soundblaster Audigy 2 + Additional Audio Slots in the PC-.C

Shalom!
Im using a Soundblaster Audigy 2 on an Asus KN8E Deluxe 754 with a case that has 2 front Audio "slots" (sorry for my non-technical English) (headphonse and microphon)
How Do I set up my board an my soundcard to recognise these two additional audio slots? it is really unnerving to have to get at the back of your pc every time you want to use your headset.
Would anybody be as kind to help?
Thank you
Szandor

radodrill,
It's always difficult to troubleshoot equipment I don't have. But the manual for your Videomate (p27) says that newer Compro TV cards "have PCI audio feature which enables audio through the PCI interface." As best I can tell, this is enabled by selecting "By PCI Audio" in the System Device in "Settings of ComproPVR." If you have that option, you probably want to disable this so that the Videomate uses the cable and does not transmit over the bus.Message Edited by Katman on 03-0-200602:47 PM

Networking troubles with ABIT BP6 board and Solaris 8

Hi, Im trying to install the Solaris 8 software on my ABIT BP6 board with a Compaq NetFlex3 10TX NIC. This is a SMP board (dual celeron) but is not on the HCL (the NIC is).
The installation gives no problems at all (except for a memory conflict between memory devices), and SunOS works pretty well except for networking... using ifconfig -a shows me the networking interface and the loopback interface but I can't ping outside of the Solaris machine (or ping to the Solaris machine from an other machine).
I know that the board is not on the HCL but I had no networking troubles with Solaris 8 early access.
After instalation of the software and the reboot, I get the status as below:
>
configuring IPv4 interfaces: cnft0.
Hostname: MILLIWAYS
Configuring /dev and /devices
Configuring the /dev directory (compatibility devices)
The system is coming up. Please wait.
checking ufs filesystems
/dev/rdsk/c0d0s7: is clean.
All devices are configured...
Configuring network interface addresses: cnft0.
RPC: Timed out
Starting IPv4 routing deamon.
starting rpc services: rpcbind done.
Setting netmask of cnft0 to 255.255.255.0
<
As you can see I get a time out while configuring the NIC. I tried a lot of different things (and some bad ones like using the device driver disk of the EA version with the cd's of the final version but no luck there...)
Anyone with the same problems or any help?
Thanx, Marcel

Hi maeck,
I'm sorry that my message is off the topic. Could you help me with a problem that I have with Abit BP6 + Solaris 8 combo?
I'm encountering error message on console screen during booting/reboot/shutting down like "APIC error interrupt on CPU 0. Status=2" where CPU can be 0 or 1, status can be 0, 2, 4 or 6.
If I let my dual Celeron400 run at 400MHz, the frequency of errors is few and far between. Though it still happens. If I overclock them to 558MHz like I udually do, it will show at least 4 times during a booting process. I've tried MPS 1.1 and 1.4 settings. I've also tried turning off all cache, delayed transaction, passive release settings.
In addition, the overclocked system tends to lock up while it runs flawless in Windows 2000 Professional and Redhat 6.1. Do you have any similar experience?
My system config:
Abit BP6 motherboard
400 MHz CPU X 2
GlobalWin FEP32 X 2
128M SDRAM
Creative Labs 3DBlaster TNT2
13GB Maxtor DiamondPlus 6800

PLEASE HELP: installing my Soundblaster Audigy LS-soundcard with the latest hardware(bundle)drive

Problem:
I have a Soundblaster Audigy LS Soundcard in one of my PCI slots (I already tried the other slot with the same result). I run Windows XP professional SP2.
When I install the hardwaredriver-bundle version: Sound Blaster Audigy LS .04.0055, I have no problem, but when I install version .0.4.077 (in this example: or I install version 055 or I install version 077), I have the following problem: (through Control Panel) in system properties/hardware/device manager, I find PCI Device listed in " other devices " with a black exclamationmark in a yellow circle, while the SB Audigy LS is listed in the group " sound, video and game controllers ". The soundcard works, which is great but why is the exclamationmark showing? I already tried a different PCI slot, IRQ assignement in BIOS, but is still shows. The strange thing is, if I install first version 055 and then version 077, the problem is gone. A new problem that occurs if I do so, is that the PC hangs when starting Windows (but I'm not sure if that has to do with the fact that I install version MediaSource 5 Player-Organizer 5.20.23 over version 5.0.38, just to keep the MediaSourceGo! Toolbar (because it's no longer part of the softwarebundle version 20.23 - which has been confirmed by the support of Creative), the same with version of CD Burner Plugin 5.0.44 over 5.0.3 because it's not really clear on the website, if you need the previous version or if it's a full "update"). Please URGENT (with detailed info on every explained problem/issue - so I can try to resolve it) help.
Thanx,
Oli4

Soundblaster audigy platinum jack panel compatibility with audigy 2 or audigy 2

Can I use a Soundblaster audigy platinum dri've (the front case jack panel) with an audigy 2 or audigy 2 zs sound card? Is it compatible? This is so I don't have to by a platinum version of the audigy 2 or audigy 2zs and spend the money on another dri've panel just to upgrade the sound card.

As both the Audigy and Audigy 2 lines report they are compatible with WinXP, is there any reason I wouldn't be able to use my Audigy Platinum system I bought in 200 with a suped up new Dell Dimention desktop system I just bought? I guess the question behind the question is, what's the difference between the Audigy and Audigy 2 besides just the parts not being compatible with each other and the true bit thing fixed? Thanks!

Trouble getting SPDIF with Xi-Fi Xtreme Audio

-Trouble getting SPDIF with Xi-Fi Xtreme Audio? Hey guys,
I'm going crazy here, bought today a Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI-Express, the idea was to go toslink from card digital out to my receiver and to bitstream dolby digital and DTS... as I said that was the idea...
First problem, the CD was broken, no biggie went to the website and got myself the drivers - XFXA_PCDRV_LB__04_0000.exe? I installed that, rebooted and was welcomed by the updater application, I went to check what was there and most of it seems unecessary, I found a bit strange that it was telling me I needed the file I just installed, but I selected everything that was critical and launched the +250mb update (yuck) and I was very happy to see it was downloading at 30kbps (...)
After installing all that and rebooting I went in the control pannel to look for the SPDIF option but couldn't find anything relevant so went to read the manual and the first thing it says is click the decoder tab... and well I don't have a decoder tab, it's simply not there...
I thought I made a mistake, so I uninstalled everything, by the way this thing is a freaking nightmare to uninstall properly and this time went step by step making sure I wasn't missng a point and guess what I spent another 2 hour downloading at year 992 speeds, but got to the very same result, the decoder tab is not here.
So far it has been very frustrating but I'm some of you guys will make it all ok with a simple fix :P
I run windows XP SP3, already gave you sound card I use and driver I downloaded, If you need anything else just ask, I'll be around
Thx

First you talk about DAC, this is precisely what I'm trying to avoid, this is a 50$ card, I have a 7'000$ receiver I obviously want the digital to analog conversion to be done by the receiver, same goes for the decoding, actually I never expected a card this cheap to decode anything, I just want it to send the digital sound bit per bit (or bitstream) to receiver, it will do the DAC and Dolby/DTS decoding and of course it will do it much better
A card with a 48kHz-only DAC, that also puts out SPDIF, will put out 48kHz SPDIF in sync with the input, which means unless audio operations are attempted on a 48kHz encoding before it is sent to the card, which will destroy the encoding, it will be passed through without alteration.
The specs on the card's DACs don't look that bad. I for one wouldn't assume that those functions on your receiver are going to be that much better, and Dolby/DTS decoding is either done right or doesn't work at all. If I were you, I'd do a comparison test before making that particular assumption.
So what you're saying is simply using the card even though I don't see anything related to SPDIF should be enough and applications will take care of the bitstream, I use AC3filter with reclock and indeed I can select the audio device, but it ain't working at all.
There may be a problem with the AC3filter/ReClock combination. To check this, you could try playing a DVD with an "ordinary" player that has an SPDIF output selection.
When you say it ain't working at all, what exactly is happening?
BTW, if you are using AC3filter to make AC3 on the fly, you are probably doing extra encoding/decoding steps using a lossy encoding just to use your receiver's decoder, to which I personally would prefer using the card's analog outs connected to a receiver's multichannel inputs, unless comparison testing unexpectedly demonstated the extra encoding sounded better to me.
You keep saying this *basic card*, I was under the impression that creative was only doing basic card, if there's another model that will work out of the box to bitstream digital sound, please give me the reference number, I'll be happy to throw this card out my window and get one that works
An audio cable can do DD/DTS passthrough. Like a cable, your card is simple enough that its hardware will do passthough if fed a valid 48kHz encoding. CL's smarter cards have onboard mixing and use hardware sample-rate-conversion techniques any of which can destroy an encoding. These cards have to be put in a special mode which bypasses all that to accomplish passthrough successfully because by default they will destroy encodings.

Trouble recording audio in Cubase SX with X-Fi Platinum

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to record audio in Cubase SX with my X-Fi Platinum. I have:
- Selected Creative ASIO for the ASIO driver
- Ensured that the VST inputs are set to the correct X-Fi input
- Ensured that the VST outputs are set to the X-Fi Front Left and Right outputs
- Switched on direct monitoring in the mixer, and I can hear the audio input before trying to record anything.
- Enabled recording for the audio track in my project
- There are no inserts, sends or EQ specified on the audio track - it's all clean.
My problem is this: When I hit the master record, the recording bar on the audio track doesn't move. On the occasions where the recording bar does move (I'm not sure how I managed to get it moving), no sound is being recorded - even though I can hear via direct monitoring the sound that I am trying to record.
The other symptom that I am getting is that the VU meter for the audio track in the mixer is not displaying or moving prior to recording or during recording - even though I can still hear the audio via the direct monitoring.
I'm new to Cubase SX, and I'm probably missing something simple. Can anyone help me?
Thanks!

You brought up quite old thread so maybe no vista yet at that time.
Sometimes, setting latency too low may prevent recording/playing ... or setting the monitoring
false (there are hardware monitoring and software monitoring which maybe can't be used at once).
SX has also a settings option named as "Lower Latency" which sometimes is best to leave disabled.

Trouble monitoring output with M-Audio FireWire 410

I just got a new iMac Core Duo and plugged in my M-Audio FireWire 410 audio interface to run with Garageband 3. Changed input/output settings, input seems fine and output too, even the 410 is flashing its output lights... but I cannot hear any monitoring of real instruments or software instruments on the FireWire 410. I've tried different headphones, adapters, and I know the jacks work because I also use the 410 with Cubase on another Mac. I suppose this is more a problem with the M-Audio FireWire 410 than with Garageband 3... but does anyone have any suggestions?
iMac Intel Core Due Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Hi,
I have a similar problem related to the output of the M-AUdio FireWire 410.
Ive being using m-audio firewire 410 (driver version 1.7.2) together with a MacBook Pro (2GHz Intel Core Duo, OSX 10.4.7) since a couple of months without having any problem. But the last week my computer had an "unexpected problem" and I had to shut it down using the power button while garageband and itunes were working. After I restarted it again, I realized that even if I get a signal on the sw rtn 1/2 when I use itunes or Garageband, I get no signal on any of the assigned output buses. The funny thing is that when I use an analog input, I actually get signal on the assigned output bus. I uninstalled and reinstalled again the drivers of the m-audio 410 firewire without any success.
I would really appreciate any comments.
Thanks in advance,
Rodrigo

How to install The Soundblaster Audigy SE in Windows 7 RC?

:How to install The Soundblaster Audigy SE in Windows 7 RC?Y Two days ago I bought a Soundblaster Audigy SE-retail soundcard. I have a dual boot PC with Windows XP-SP3 and Windows 7 RC. The installation of the soundcard?in Windows XP was easy, no problems, good sound.
But how to install in Windows 7 RC ?
I have the installation and applications CD with XP and Vista drivers and I have the driver-download from Creative.com SB24PCDRV LB 0 - 04 - 0090.
Windows 7 tells me "No device for audio output is installed". Windows automaticly?installed a driver, but that doesn't work. (code 39). The driver download from?creative does not install new drivers and when I try it manually Windows tells me "The best driver is already installed"
When I uninstall?the driver that Windows installed and try to install the downloaded?creative driver for Windows 7, the driver will not install, and Windows message is something like "?no audio device is installed on this computer"
What to do ? A computer without sound is nothing...
Thanks,
Arie

>Re: How to install The Soundblaster Audigy SE in Windows 7 RC?% Meocene is 00% on the money. Dan K.'s pack is the best. I have used the pack on four different systems with AUDIGY LS and SE cards that I bought cheaply (all four on Ebay for $40). The package has worked under XP, Vista, and Windows 7 very well.
I have friends that play Left4Dead and they have been immensely pleased when playing the games in their flats with or without headphones, as compared to their old "onboard RE--t-k" sound.
The package also works well on a Gateway or HP machine when disabling onboard audio first then installing the Audigy and installing drivers and apps for the first time. Gi've up on using your old CDs, you will only run into a mountain of trouble trying to "Auto-Update" all that with the newest patches.

Dual Soundblaster Audigy Inst

Oddly, this is not going well at all. Some history first.
I'm sure many would question the why's. I've seen other people post that they want to use two soundcards and everyone says why.
I play alot of video games, and use voice chat. I'd like to hear game sound from my 5. sound system, and hear voice chat in a headset.
I used to use two computers to accomplish this, but recently, my spare had a harddri've problem and went down. So i went to a local vendor and got a Soundblaster Audigy SE about 2 days ago. Testing with that and my onboard sound has been abysmal. Usually within a couple minutes, the setup will interact unfavorably with a videogame. With a game (eve-online or FFXI Online) running on one card (doesn't matter which) and Teamspeak/roger wilco/ventrilo running on the other, the game tends to get buggered up (popping sounds, then eventually the graphics either get very messed up, like the game losing track of where my character is). If i only use one app on one card, or both apps on one card, no issues.
So, last night i went and bought another SB Audigy SE, thinking that perhaps there was a clocking issue with the on board card. Maybe, maybe not, as right now, as soon as windows attempts to bring both cards online during an acti've session of windows, it crashes/reboots immediately. If both cards are started during startup, the machine throws a Kmode exception 0xe bluescreen and hangs. I did disable the onboard card before attempting any of this, and reset the ESCD via bios.
I attempted to uninstall the drivers and install both cards simultaneously by doing a fresh install, this just results in the Kmode blue screen. In safe mode, with both cards acti've, if i change the settings on one card, the settings on the other card change as well. I had read on the internet (various google results) that sometimes installing two of the exact same card will result in your system thinking both cards are the same card.
So, i'm looking for a solid "I've seen/done this and you can fix it by:..." sort of answer, but any musings would be helpful too.

I *think* you have WhatUHear as the record device. Open up the Creative Control Panel (volume) and the far right option with the word Rec as the heading may have WhatUHear under it. You can click a drop down arrow and chose Microphone. Also, in Control Panel go to Sounds and Audio Devices, Audio Tab and click volume for Sound Recording. Make sure the tick is in the Microphone column.

Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS - Vista - speaker calibration etc

Hi,
I've searched but I can't find an obvious answer to what I suspect is a common question.
I've got an Audigy 2 ZS Pro which I've just installed using the drivers from the site. It's working ok but there is no applciation for set up of the speakers in a room - as there was in the original CD that I used with XP.
Can anyone help? Or am I just imagining that a utility did exist when I last installed this on an XP machine?
Thanks
PH

JRe: Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum - Speaker issues not covered by FAQs0 I'm afriad that the CMSS3D option did not work? ? I still cannot get any speakers to play out of the rear of the soundcard.
As I said before, the goal is to try to get sound to play out of both the headset and the speakers attached to the rear of the soundcard simuntaneously.
The headset is plugged into one of those devices in the front that is in a 5 & /4" bay that has the individual knobs for adjusting volume for the headset and outbound levels for the microphone.
The speakers are plugged into the back of the soundcard and do not play any sound in any of the sockets, starting from the firewire port and counting 3 over.
Any suggestions? I? thought it might have something to do with the setting of the speakers from control panel - > Sounds and Audio Devices -> Advanced and picking the right choice there. No luck however. Same for the Creative Speaker Settings as well.
I'm at wits end and I'd be very thankful to whoever can resolve this for me. =)
