Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS - No Sound

$Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS - No SoundP First let me start off by saying I've had this card (Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS) for a few years and it's always done this on my comptuer. It works fine on my parents' Dell. My motherboard is an Asus nI8-SLi. I'm running Microsoft Windows XP Home and meet all of the system requirements for sound card. The piece of junk sound card that was in the computer finally broke down and I would like to see if I can get the Audigy 2 ZS installed.
I've tried installing the card from a fresh reformat, installing the card after reformatting and installing Microsoft Updates and I've tried a number of different drivers. I've also disabled the onboard audio in the BIOS.
When I plug in my headphones it makes the familiar static noise you hear when you plug in headpones. Also, on the cord of my headphones you can mute and change the volume. When I do either of these I hear a bit of static until I stop doing it. However, when it comes to sound: music, games, voice chat, the annoying jingle during the Windows XP welcome screen, there is none.
Please help!

(Re: Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS - No Sound? Try this:
This is a software package created by a user, Daniel K. which includes most all of the software updates as well as the newest or second to newest driver for your card. This will install everything you need to use that card.
Even if you had the original install Cd, this package is better, as it fixes some of the original incompatibilites with the software and includes their newer versions as well.

The package is great. It installs fairly quickly for a package of its size. I have used it myself for quite a while so I know that it works very well.
After installation be sure that you have at least? a two speaker set plugged into the green jack on the back of the card. Sometimes people plug their speakers into the wrong jack and then feel they have no sound for an unknown reason.

Help with an Older Sound Blaster Audigy Card! Computer freezing on driver upda

Hey everyone,
I'm new to these forums and dont know if anyone still has experience with the older cards.
I've had a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum for about 6 years now and noticed some popping and sometimes the card began to emit a high pitched whining sound. Thus I decided to install the newest drivers (can't hurt can it's)
However, when I finished installing the drivers, my system refuses to start. Sometimes it's at the Windows login screen, sometimes right after.
I finally got something that may be the reason why my system is hanging. I have a message that pops up that says:
Box Name: ReadReg Application :Version 6.0..36
Message: Completing installation of your audio card
??? Please wait.
My computer is now frozen.
Here are my system specs if it helps
P4 2.66Ghz
ASUS P4S800D-X
PNY 6800GT
SB Audigy 2 Platinum
GB Corsair XMS3200C2PT (2x52MB)
Windows XP Pro
DVD+/-RW DL
DVD ROM
After I did a system restore, the sound driver was missing. Said Creative Audigy in the driver section with the yellow exclamation mark. I installed the new drivers again with the same problem.
Any help is welcome!? Thank you for your time and consideration.

I would:
Pull the sound card.
Start up.Enter the BIOS setup utility to make sure your MB recognizes the change.
Save the BIOS
Start again.
If Windows works.
Run a thorough virus scan (I hope you're running some reputable anti-virus software!!!)
Install Service Pack 3.
Re-install the sound card..
I'll bet Windows finds a driver for it that works. If not, run Windows update manual and see if there's a driver update for the card.
If none of the above helps, well... I confess, I reinstall Windows at the drop of a hat and that usually solves all problems. Do it on a Sunday so you can watch football while Windows churns.
Power Quest Dri've image has saved me from the Windows install horror on many occasions. I think Symantec has pulled the program but there must be something similar out there. Buy it. And in the future, remember, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!
Good luck.

Im having trouble install drivers (apart from the old CD ones and some out of date ones) all the latest drivers or beta drivers say they cannot detect my card. I have an Sound Blaster Audigy 2 OEM which i bought nearly 2 years ago. I've tried swapping it to a different pci slot but makes no different Constant crashes when playing openal games. Even if i install the lates openal file. But i need to find out why i can't install the newest drivers and why they say i haven't got an audigy 2 when i have.

I am getting the exact same problem. Just downloaded the "Creative Sound Blaster Audigy unified series Beta driver with OpenAL support 2.08.0002" for my soundcard which is an Audigy 2 OEM (Model No. SB0240).
I am using WIndows Media Center Edition 2005, but when I try to install the beta drivers, I get the following error message:
"Setup is unable to detect a supported product on your system. Please ensure that your product is properly installed before running this setup program
Setup will exit."
My Device Manager shows Creative SB Audigy 2 (WDM) with driver version as follows:
Driver Provider: Creative

I am currently hearing sound fine (so the soundcard is installed correctly), but the sound keeps cutting out from games that use OpenAL.
Anyone else getting this problem? How did you fix it's

Pin Specifications for Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SB1394

;Pin Specifications for Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SB394 I have a Sound Blaster Audigy SB934 CA000-IAF Creative Tech '0 AA299J basically a Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum (wiouth the front bay for conectivity.)? And since I dont' have the front bay for heaphone and mic conectivity I was wondering if there is a spec sheet for the 40-Pin conectivity that is used for the front bay. I was wondering if anyone could provide me with such spec sheet so that I can try to conect my frontal Intel board plugs for headphone and microphone (would like to use my headset.)
There are a lot of pins on the card and well only about 8 in the conector for the front plugs. So if any dev from the forum is reading this I would greatly apreciate it if I could use my front Intel sound plugs on this old model card.
Thank you for all your help.

New Critical Update for Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS (2000/XP/XPx

Hi
Today ,Creative Labs have released a Critical auto update, for the Audigy 2 ZS, Audigy 2 and Audigy 4 PRO card.
The critical update is a new utility application called the "Audio Console". This new application is a step in the right direction by Creative as it enables easy access to a lot of the cards functions. (speaker settings, EAX, CMSS, and the decoder can all be tweaked using this application.
For those of you, who do not use the Auto-update software you can find the Audio Console application under your products manual downloads webpage.

Sound Blaster Audigy 2: Can't install updated drive

Creative Media source was getting a error and disallowed me to access the EAX console.
So i did a clean sweep and uninstalled Audigy 2 and its components (Media Source etc).
With that i lost my updated drivers. I resently downloaded a updated driver from this site
Audigy2/2 zs Web update WDM. But... when i try to run the setup for the update i get this errror:
Setup did not detect a driver version supported by this web update: The installation will now close.
also another file from a different source:
Setup could not find any previous version of Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Web Update WDM Drivers
Installed.
My sound card is obiviously a Audigy 2. It displays this information:
Creative Audigy Audio Processor WDM (CF00)
Driver Version 5.2..328 (Version from the Installion CD)
Please help me get new Drivers!!!

You can't install this if you have not install the EAX4 driver first. Read the detail information in those download page first.

Remote Audio Jacks for the Sound Blaster Audigy 2

Hello My case has built in remote audio jacks on the front panel. Is it possible to hook up my Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS to this system? I have several individual cables that I connect to a sound card to provide remote audio jacks at the front of the PC. Is this possible? Thanks

Bug in Sound Blaster Audigy 2

Hi,
I'm experiencing something that is annoying. I noticed it long ago and it continues happening even with all the updates installed:
Windows XP SP2
DirectX 9.0c
Drivers:
Control Panel, Creative SB Audigy 2 NX, shows 2004/04/9 for the windows driver.
Firmware: ..0509
I installed the latest drivers found HERE (http://es.europe.creative.com/support/downloads/download.asp)
called "Creative USB Sound Blaster Audigy 2 NX update .00.000" (4 Feb 2005)
EAX Console version: 2.07.0
What is the problem?
Well... I have 5. soundsystem, and I choose "Surround Stereo" in the CMSS 3D option.
Each time I shut down the sound card PRESSING THE BUTTON or either turn of the system, I have to re-click this option button.
This is, the system saves the settings correctly, and if I open the EAX Advanced HD again, I find it selected, but when I re-click it again, then the sound gets surround.
Hope it gets fixed, as its a very annyoing thing.
Thanks in advance,
PS: If this is not the place to put this, please tell me insted of simply ignoring it.

There IS a problem with this. I have experienced it in two different configurations, and yes, I have everything updated. As you can see I STILL have the problem... (I don't remember when I posted the first post). I also contacted Creative Support, and although it being fast, they did not test it. I simply got answers once and again about unsinstalling the drivers and some other things on my computer and install again.
I don't know how to report this to a developer or someone who can take some minutes to test it and say "hey yes... it's true!".
The problem with this is that you DON'T notice it at all.. you hear 5., all seems OK, untill you re-click again the "surround stereo" option.. it's in that moment when you notice that the volume and the quality increases... I guess people is using their 5. like in surround but not at 00% quality.
Sad, but it's the way it is I guess...
Now this is my day by day... Plug the NX, open EAX, select surround... and if I previously used my headphones (on the speakers) I have ALSO to switch from 2 speakers to 5. and then EAX and surround (although it's always clicked...)
I'm not asking for help, or suggestions. I just want someone who cares at Creative to know about this... Well of course, if someone has a suggestion or can help in a way that can make me forget about opening EAX console... it's welcome.
Thanks again for reading or for any help.
Regards.
PS: I'm thinking on replying to creative again, but I guess I will get the same answer...

Sound Blaster Audigy Drivers and Applications CD-Rom

Does anyone know where I can get or download?the "Sound Blaster Audigy" "Drivers and applications" CD-rom?
I have included a pic below:

jay23,
First extract the RAR file you downloaded using WinRar. During the extraction, WinRar will create an ISO file which is an image of the installation CD. If you don't want to burn that ISO file to a CD, then download and install MagicDisc from the link I gave above. MagicDisc lets you mount an ISO file as a virtual hard dri've. You should be able to install from that virtual CD just as if it were a real hard copy CD, but I've never tried that so can't say for certain.

Sound Blaster Audigy and STAL

I've got the following problem. In game called "S. T.A.L.K.E.R" i can hear very lound sounds of shooting and very silence people conversations.
I've got "Sound Blaster Audigy" and Creative Speakers.

Hi,
There are several choices if it comes to Audigy (emu0kx) drivers;
First you can use the last official Creative Labs' driver for the Audigy series which you can download on the official driver download site here at Creative Labs' site, but you will loose a lot of apps/softwares, but it should work;
The second one would be the mentioned Daniel_K's driverpack 3.8 for the Audigy series which works pretty good, although I dislike the individual installers/uninstallers for each applications which makes uninstallation of the driver very annoying.
The third one would be the Project KX driver which is very light in size but very powerful, especially for recording and other music related purposes. There's a learning curve since it really looks different (interfaces for example), but once you have found out how the KX driver works you will be happy you own an genuine Audigy emu0kx soundcard.

Setup could not detect any Sound Blaster Audigy card on your system

Hi from Barcelona!
I've a Soun Blaster Audigy card (Model: SB0090)
I tried to install the Audigy software and drivers from the original product CD but Setup was unable to find Augigy hardware and halted the installation!
"Setup could not detect any Sound Blaster card on your system. Please ensure that your Sound Blaster hardware is properly installed before running this Setup program"
By the way. Manually the sound drivers can be installed working only front speakers of the 5. Creative system
I tried a clean installation of Windows XP and Windows 2000 PRO (reformatted the hard dri've) but Audigy install CD still could not find Audigy hardware.
I've changed the card to a different PCI slot with the same results!!! Damaged?
What is happening? I need a solution!! Many users have this problem to with other Sound Blaster cards and models...

ADSLNEW wrote:
It seems to be an important BUG of Creative Sound Blaster Audigy cards related with EEPROM!!!
Yes, indeed, that is my theory as well. After much ****hing and on-line research, it seems that this problem has been around since 2002. From Creative Labs point of view, it appears they view this as "pilot error" -- the user has installed the card in a system that is not fully compliant with the latest standards -- specifically Microsofts ACPI (configuration and power management). A wide variety of configurations and/or actions seem to cause the PCI subsystem ID in the Audigy EEPROM to be erroneously overwritten -- including certain older motherboards, certain older PCI cards, and perhaps other actions.
Once the subsystem ID in the EEPROM is overwritten and has garbage information, many or all of the Creative applications cease working and various sound problems can arise. Attempts to reinstall the driver or update to the latest driver consistently fail becuase of the dreaded "Setup could not detect any Sound Blaster Audigy card in your system..." error message.
There appear to be four fixes:
) Get a replacement Audigy card from Creative, but only after you perform their prescribed troubleshooting steps to prove that the card is indeed the source of the problem. Apparently, the steps include installing the card in another PC. Apparently, Creative in Europe is more willing to replace your card than Creative in the US. It's up to Creative Labs whether or not they issue you an RMA ("Return Material Authorization").
However, this fix will fail if the root causes of the EEPROM error are not corrected. Apparently, Creative Tech Support isn't always a foolproof source of guidance, so the burden is on you. The root cause MUST be corrected before the new card is installed, or the same problem will happen all over again. Eliminating the root cause may involve replacing your motherboard, replacing other PCI cards, or manual configuration (disabling ACPI).
2) Reprogramming the EEPROM. This is for advanced PC owners only, because it involves desoldering the EEPROM, programming it, and resoldering (and even lifting some pins to prevent reprogramming). There are instructions on how to do this posted in the German Creative Labs discussion board, by a Russian (!). I have links for those who are interested.
3) Removing the Creative drivers and software (using Clean Sweep procedures and third party utilities), updating again using Windows XP SP2, then physically moving the card to different PCI slots (multiple times if necessary), until ACPI Bios writes the proper information into the EEPROM. You can then reload the drivers.
Again, the root causes of the problem must be removed or your fix will only be temporary (a day or two). This solution also seems to be very dependent on the specifics of your system (motherboard, PCI cards, etc.).
4) Some people have had success in by-passing the step in the driver installation process where they check for the Audigy card subsystem ID, using a utility called CTZAPxx on the installation CD. Then then manually install each of the applications they need to use.
5) Use the open source driver from the kX Project (http://kxproject.lugosoft.com/index.php). This driver (and associated utilities) does not depend on the detailed configuration of the card (i.e. they don't check subsystem ID) and appear to work fine even with cards with corrupted EEPROM.
This driver is aimed primarily at computer music applications, and opens up the on-card signal processing capabilities. The downside is that the Audigy 2 ZS does not have all of it's capabilities supported yet (e.g. Dolby Digital decoding, S/PIF passthrough, possibly some game sound features, THX, 24-bit recording, support for Hyperthreading CPUs, etc.). But scanning over the discussion boards, the user community seems to be MUCH happier with the performance and support associated with these drivers than with Creative's.
This is the direction I'm going. I'm not a big gamer and I don't really care about the latest in home theater audio performance. Basic 5. surround sound is all I care about, and I'm much more interested in computer music capabilities.
I have also lost faith in Creative Labs as a vendor to provide the support I want and need going forward. Just imagine if the Creative Labs were running the Space Shuttle program :smileysurprised:.

Hejssan
I think you understand english good enough (som ni alla svenskar brukar g?ra (b?ttre ?n vi finskar i alla fall)) so I just give a link to another thread on this forum.
This issue you're having, is quite common for Creative Audigy carrds (perhaps with OEM models mostly) if you just search this forum.
You can use those instructions to get some drivers installed to your card. Install drivers first and then all the Creative software you need.
You need WinRar being installed into your system to get driver package extracted. You can download it from http://www.winrar.de/edownload/winrar.html
