"Box" sound with my SB Live! 5.1 play

Hi,
This is the first time I've had this problem before, because I speak alot on ventrilo but after I installed Gamecam my microphone wouldn't work (for some weird reason).
After I had uninstalled all audio drivers and software and installed everything from the cd, it works fine, my mic is working as it should.
But, All the sounds I hear (cd's, ventrilo, all sounds possible really) sounds like they are recorded in a studio, it's like some kind of "box" sound.. like it's coming from the inside of a box
I've tried everything, but no driver on creative's website works.
Anyone know what I can do to fix this?
I'm quite eager to get it fixed since I listen to music 24/7
Thanks.

If the SB Li've! has the EAX console, check to see if special effects are turned on.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Select any photos you want to share with the Apple TV using the iTunes advanced menu (using iPhoto is the better option but a folder will work). Once all the photos you want are shared, go to settings > screensaver on the Apple TV and choose which of those shared photos you want to use with your screensaver.

  • How to produce 5.1 sound with logitech z5500 running on iMac 10.5.8 with sound blaster live 24 bit external.

    How to produce 5.1 sound with logitech z5500 running on iMac 10.5.8 with sound blaster live 24 bit external.

    First off your operating system version is obsolete and not being updated for security issues from Apple.
    OS X 10.4/10.5 need to upgrade, 10.6.8 ok still
    So at least you need to upgrade to 10.6.8, and that will make your machine secure again.
    However if you decide to upgrade further to 10.7 or 10.8, be forewarned your PPC based software of old is not going to work any longer. and your machine may require more RAM.
    Check here to see and download the free MacTracker to see your machines true RAM potential and specs. There are videos online at YouTube, it's really easy to install yourself.
    http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    I checked out the z-5500, apprantly the optical out shouldn't be a problem, however the surround sound decoding is a problem as the Mac doesn't do it, just passes it through for decoding on a receiver via the optical out port if your Mac has one.
    Use the free MacTracker to find out or when you upgrade OS X, there is a option in the System Preferences > Sound.

    The Sound Blaster Live 24 bit doesn't do Dolby 5.1 according to Wikipedia. More info on it is here.
    http://support.creative.com/Products/ProductDetails.aspx?catID=1&prodID=10702&pr odName=Live!%2024-bit%20External&CatName=Sound+Blaster
    If it's able to accept optical toslink cable from the Mac's toslink stereo mini port (if it has optical output) and then send that to the z-5500 via the analog speakers, then you should be fine.
    I'm afraid you'll have to do some more digging to get it to work.
    The only surround sound your going to get is by playing DVD movies that have it, then it can't have Dolby 5.1 as the Live 24 bit can't decode it.
    So do your research on what surround sound formats the Live 24 can decode, then compare your DVD collection for those movies that have it, then get it all connected and enable it on the movie preferences at the menu.
    Good Luck

    And just bought a durabrand home theater system with a sub wolf and 5 speakers it has a port for pc?s but I all I hear when I plug it into the digital out is very faint sound with a lot of static I know that the papers that come with the sound card suggest creative inspire 5. digital 5500 however it does not say that it will not work with other speakers.
    But none the less I am asking you all what should I do and is it the speakers or is there something else I got to do?

  • No sound with Live! 24bit and Boston Digital BA735 speak

    I can get no sound with Soundblaster Li've! 24bit PCI card and Boston Digital BA735 speakers. Other speakers work. The Boston are 2. speakers (with subwoofer) from an old Gateway I have. Tried digital output only and without digital output only checked but no luck.

    hey bro. today i had the same problem you have, with the same speakers and all. and thanks to your post, it somehow inspired me to figure it out. so this is what you do:
    ) make sure your sound card is set to digital output. if you dont know how to do this, follow the windows help program.
    2) go to gateway support website at http://support.gateway.com/support/d...0406&type=0096 and download the Digital Soundblaster Li've basic driver (752042.exe) near the bottom.
    3) double click the icon once it downloads and it will do its thing
    good luck dawg and thanks for your ingenius question

  • Captivate 4 No Click Box Sound

    I have an upgraded version to Captivate 4. I am attempting to create a simulation with click boxes. Everything is working well with the exception of the click box sound. When I play the movie, there is not a mouse click sound when I click the boxes. I have not checked the "Disable Click Sound" box.
    I think I must have changed a setting somewhere because I did not have this problem with Captivate 2 or 3.
    I've included snapshots of the Click Box settings and the Publish Settings Preferences.
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Hi there
    Ummm, shouldn't Hulk be something different?

  • Help with DTT3500/Vistax64/Live!24-bit

    Hi I have just downloaded the latest Vista 64-bit drivers and I have sound (Yay!)?OK, my setup is:* Vista x64 Ultimate* Onboard Live! 5.1 24-bit* connected through optical cable* to DTT3500 So, Creative card (well sound chip), optical cable, creative amp. Now, obviously on speaker setup I tick the 'Digital output Only' to get sound coming out. Here's the problem: it only appears to get sound out of Front Left and Front right in the test speakers dialog. The dolby digital light does come on when doing the test dolbydigital tone included in Vista. I also get sound through Front Left/Front Right when playing music through itunes, but no sound at all when playing a DVD in Windows Media Player! I do get sound when playing the same DVD in Windows Media Centre... So, here's the questions? 1) Can I get my music to come out of all my 5.1 speakers? 2) Can I get media player to play sound in dvds? Any help would be appreciated. richard

    I am having the same problem with my X-Fi Xtreme Audio on Vista too...

  • I suddenly have no sound with you tube but I have sound on IE

    I have no sound with you tube videos. I've updated adobe flash and still no sound. I do, however, have sound with IE.

    Whoa, I found the answer by clicking on one of the questions in the "More Like This" box to the right.  I do  wonder how to find that box before posting my dumb question.  The answer turned out to be checking the youtube volume control.  I turned that up and it solved the problem for Comast as well.

  • No 5.1 Sound with X-Fi XtremeMusic + Inspire GD

    Hello,
    I've the problem, that I do not get 5. sound with my X-Fi XtremeMusic and my Inspire GD580. I connected it analog. The THX test works fine and also the assingment with all the speakers is correct.
    However, when I listen to music or when I want to watch DVD, sound comes only out of the front boxes.
    I've chosen "Music" as well as "Movie" on my GD580.
    I'm running Win XP SP2 with the newest drivers for the X-Fi card.
    Furthermore, when I try to connect it over coaxial (digital), I only get the sound from the front boxes, even in the THX test. Consequently, the assignment is not correct at all.
    Can anybody help me?

    This behaviour is by design:
    SPDIF Digital Connections only carry 2 PCM signals, which means only stereo.<
    Technologies like Dolby Digital/DTS and there PC-oriented Li've versions encode 5. signals into the 2 channels offered by the SPDIF standard. This is not supported in any Sound Blaster card at the moment.<
    The receiver of your speaker system must support Dolby/DTS and decode it into PCM before it can be played back. (I assume, the GD-series Inspires, do that)<
    As a result, you can only get 5. sound from a single SPDIF connection only when listening to Dolby Digital/DTS content, like DVDs and .ac3 files, and you select offcourse? SPDIF passthrough in either the DVD software or Creative's drivers.<

  • Trying to get this "One" sound with Logic pro 8

    Hi everyone i spent like 2 hours last night trying to get this sound with Logic Pro 8 soft synths trying to find a sound exactly like or close to this sound: http://home.comcast.net/~tommykry/Weezer%20-%20Troublemaker.mp3
    The sound can be heard at 00:19 and through out the song, its like a low bass synth kind of sound that drifts down when its hit, like a portamento kind of thing. In live weezer videos the bass player is hitting a pad on a keyboard so i know its a key sound not a bass guitar slide. ive heard this sound in trance and techno songs as well. I have Sonar 8 and pro tools 8 as well and can look there if i have too, also have an Access viress Ti, But im trying to do this all in Logic. Like i said i played around for like more than 2 hours going through most of all the Logic synths, patch after patch trying to find something close i could tweak, so if anyone has more experience with The Soft synths in Logic Pro 8 and can steer me in the right direction i would be greatful.
    Thanks
    Tommy

    In live weezer videos the bass player is hitting a pad on a keyboard so i know its a key sound not a bass guitar slide.
    He could just be triggering a bass slide sample...
    It's some kind of bass sound that bends down, in a similar style to what a bass player might do. Whether it's a real bass or a synth is difficult to say (and probably doesn't matter a great deal), but in any case it's certainly compressed, and grunged up dirty with some amp sim or distortion...
    Try that route...

  • I restarted my iphone and when it booted back up i received a loud pining sound with a message stating please give me back my iphone.  it popped up for a second and went away.

    I just restarted my iphone because of lag and when it popped back up there was a loud pinging sound with a message that appeared that stated give me back my iphone. It  went away after a few seconds and the sound stopped.  I restarted 4 times since then to see if it happened again but it never occured.
    After doing a bit of looking around online i noticed that messages like these appear through the find my iphone app.  I bought the phone new a year ago from my provider and broke it right out of the box and everything so i know didnt buy a stolen phone or anything.
    Help or adice on the issue would be greatly appreciated. 
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the response.  I thought about maybe i was somehow messing around in icloud but i dont quite recall doing that but with new toys you never know what you may press.  I just wanted to see if there was some sort of glitch going around perhaps.
    I've changed my passwords for all my accts to be on the safe side as it is looking like there is no glitch that may cause this.
    it's beginning to look more and more like it was caused by a person.
    thanks a bunch.

  • !Can you record live while game playing with adobe audition? PLEASE HELP!

    Can you record live while game playing with adobe audition? I have a youtube channel and I want to record voice as I'm playing of course and cancel out the noise maybe put a nice effect on it.. But how do I do this? Please help! I only see ones for recording like after.. But I want to record it as it's happening is this possible!? it has to be. thanks *ADOBE AUDITION CC*

    That'll depend on the capabilities of the sound card/audio interface you're using.  If that interface can feed the right things to Audition, it can record it.  For just the game, look for "Wave Out" or "What U Hear" on the list of audio sources but not every system has this.  Also, if you want to record your own contributions as well as the game sound, that gets more complex too.
    I know that there are specialist pieces of software that are designed to record live gameplay (which don't rely simply on your local sound card).  I know of a couple called "Action!" and "XSplite" but I have not personal experience with either.
    However, before going that direction, check out the "Record Devices" menu in your sound system and see what it allows.

  • Is there a solution to getting sounds with safari notifications?

    Hi,
    I noticed that I didn't get sounds with Safari notifications, even after checking the settings.
    So, I took it to the 'Genius' bar, and they said it was a know issue with OS 10.3. It will be sorted with OS 10.4.
    Well, I have just updated to 10.4, and no joy!
    Why? I have selected a suitable sound in sound preferences.
    I have selected 'Alerts' in the nofications preferences for safari.
    I have ticked the play sounds box.
    Why doesn't this work?
    Thanks
    Jeremy

    Right, I've done a restore and ejected the phone. Now it's giving me only two options: either set up as a new phone, or restore from iTunes backup (I don't use Cloud). It's not giving me a sync option so I guess I'll have to restore, unless anyone has any better suggestions?

  • EXS24 : how can I launch and stop sound with key (instead of holding key)

    Hi,
    I'm using EXS24 to launch sounds (like pads) : I've created a specific instrument with one sound on each note (with differents zones). I've checked the box "One-" to have the sound that continues without holding the key, but I would like to be able to stop the sound with the same (or an other) key.
    WIthout stopping the other sounds.
    How can I do this ??
    Thanks for your help !
    Etienne

    You can make groups, have your "sample off" key assigned to a short audio file of silence (or just turn the volume parameter of that sample to -96 in the zone editing area of the EXS.
    Make the polyphony of the groups to 1. So you hit your one shot and it is playing through, when you hit the 'blank' key it plays instead - which is playing nothing.
    Depending on what you need, you can copy the blank sound into different groups (hold option and drag) - but this would stop all groups with one key. So if you need independent control, you can copy the same blank sample to different keys, and then group those individually with the different sample triggers.

  • When I attempt to send a text from the new iPad, a dialog box appears with the option to either sign in with Apple ID Password or Create New Account. I try signing in using my Apple ID password but IMessage informs me that email address cannot be verified

    settings -> iTunes & App Store
    click on apple ID listed there
