Can't get Creative DVD-Audio Player to p

DVD-A's
I have Metallica's "Black Album" on DVD-A and CL DVD-A player detects the DVD but doesn't play it. The counter goes to and no sound comes out. It plays on WMP 0 without problems.

It's been almost 2 months and this probems hasn't been solved. Creative tech support is a joke. The last time I had a problem I had to solve the problem myself all of CL tech wanted to do is reinstall, reboot, change pci slots and reinstall.

  • DVD Audio Player - Where is

    I am using an Audigy 4 card with Windows XP Pro SP2 and I cannot for the life of me locate the MediaSource DVD Audio Player. The Creative site has the MediaSource Player, Organizer, and Converter, as well as an update to the DVD Audio player, but it does not have the DVD-A player itself. Also, the installation CD that came with my card has every component of the MediaSource package except the DVD Audio player.
    The Creative product page for the Audigy 4 confirms that the card is capable of DVD Audio playback, and the update for the DVD Audio Player on the driver page suggests I should somehow already have the player. The only way I can think of acquiring the software is by downloading installation CDs for other Soundblaster cards, but this isn't really a route I want to take. Does anyone have any ideas as to where I can find the MediaSource DVD Audio Player? Any help would be appreciated.

    I downloaded the Audigy 4, 4 Pro, and 2 ZS install discs and performed the full MediaSource installation with each. Still, the MediaSource DVD Audio Player is not listed in MediaSource Go!, in the start menu, or in the MediaSource folder. Furthermore I've run a series of searches on my hard dri'ves to be absolutely sure the DVD Audio Player isn't installed and just hidden away somewhere.
    I did manage to find MediaSource DVD-A Player installer elsewhere, but it refused to install. It gave the same message as I get with the DVD-A update currently on the Creative drivers page, saying that the required components were not detected. I assume this installer was looking for Audigy 2 drivers, while the DVD-A updater was looking for the DVD-Audio player which isn't there.
    I've tried InterVideo WinDVD for playing DVD Audio, but it is not fully functional. If I disable 96/24 decoding, I can play the stereo tracks, but I just get silence on the 5. tracks. With the 96/24 decoding enabled, I get a lot of noise with the desired music slightly audible. I am using the analog connections from my Audigy 4 card.
    My card itself is an OEM Audigy 4 SE. I don't think the card differs from the normal retail version other than that it doesn't come with a box or a remote, but I could be wrong. Still, it is listed as being capable of playing DVD-Audio, and comes with the same installation CD as the normal Audigy 4. The information about the card can be found here:

    All I want to do is to be able to play DVD Audio discs without having to purchase any additional software to do so. I would like simply to have the Creative MediaSource DVD Audio player installed on my computer. This should not be at all difficult to accomplish, yet all I've gotten in my attempts so far is aggravation.
    Again, any feedback would be very much appreciated.

  • Quick question about Creative DVD audio pla

    Hi all,
    I loaded all the drivers and software that came with my Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS. The kit came with a DVD audio sampler disc. When I put the DVD audio disc into my computer DVD ROM dri've, it automatically navigates to the Creative Audio DVD player. The only problem is that the "play" button is greyed out. It will not play the disc. It show in the staus window that the sampler disc is there and ready to go. I have tried every button but can not get to play.
    Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
    Thanks,

    Now when I launch the DVD audio player and try to click on a button it just freezes up and have to end the program in task manager

  • Mediasource DVD-Audio player prob

    Ive had a problem trying to play back DVD-audio on this player. I put in the disc and it recognizes the tracks on the DVD, and even knows the bit depth and sampling rate of each song when i load them into the playlist(ex: foo it knows Foo Fighters is 24bit 88khz). But the player refuses to play. It either has the Play button greyed out, or simply wont play at all. Has anyone else had this problem, or could tell me howm to fix it's
    Thanks

    Your not the only one. I'm having the exact same issue. I just purchased a Audigy 4 Pro, and the Gigaworks 7. package this week and I'm getting the play button greyed out also, on the DVD-Audio player software. I'm trying to use the DVD audio sample disc that came with the package. I found if you remove the selected tracks from the play list, the play button will become "acti've", but as soon as you push it, it freezes the program.
    Did a search through the forum. Some named 'wxzcool' posted .03.05 about this same issue. Someone named 'hambone' also posted on .22.05 about this. So there is obviously something going on here with this software.
    Perhaps there is a bad batch of DVD-Sample discs? Yet, do you know the sample DVD-audio flash program that starts when you first install the software? the one where you can push "test"? that doesn't work for me either. So I'm guessing it's not the DVD. It must be a software conflict somewhere. I just find it hard to believe that has never been identified by Creative and listed as a known issue/bug somewhere?! I mean, this card/software has been out for how long now...
    I have tried almost everything and made sure I have it set to analog out, not digital. Will be trying a clean reinstall of windows xp and will let you know if that works for me.
    Even though I didn't buy it for DVD-A capability, it is still very disappointing to spend nearly $000 CAN on this "top of the line" audio package and it doesn't work for what is advertised.

  • DVD-Audio Player - Please H

    I installed Vista, and unfortunately lost the ability to play DVD-Audio. I have been following a lot of threads and information on the net, but I am still unable to play them.
    + PowerDVD and WinDVD: I cannot play DVD-Audios with CPPM encryption.
    + I used to play all my DVD-Audio with Creative's DVD-Audio player using Xp. I read that it is possible to install it in Vista. I follow the instructions (Run as Administrator, XP/SP2 compatability mode), but I get a -6003 InstallShield error.
    Can anyone help me?

    If you get this error, it means some needed files are missing. So what to do?Go to the Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information folder and try to find the subfolder of the failed installation. We need to read the fileINSTALL.LOG from that folder and see which files are actually missing. (Alternati'vely you can search for that file and select the one with the latest date, assuming you try this exactly after the failed installation attempt)?Usually the missing files are called CTShared, which is the folder containing them. You can find this folder in the root of your original CD, just copy it in the folder where your run your Installation from. Offcourse it could be other files as well, but the procedure is the same.
    PS:? For the first part, you will need to make sure you configured Explorer to show ALL hidden and system files.

  • DVD-Audio player does not detect any DVD-Audio sour

    Hi,
    I am trying to play a DVD-Audio disc on my computer using the DVD-Audio player software that came with my Audigy 2 card, but the software fails to detect my DVD-ROM dri've as a DVD-Audio source.
    I can play audio CDs and DVDs with no problems using the DVD-ROM dri've.
    The OS is WindowsXP Pro with SP and I have the latest patches applied to both driver and DVD-Audio player software.
    I would appreciate any suggestions if someone experienced this anoying problem and solved it.
    Thank a lot!

    DVD Audio encryption security has unfortunately been hacked using the decoders within WinDVD from Intervideo.
    As a result, DVD Audio playback using the WinDVD/Audigy combination has been suspended on "new" versions of the software.
    I am a registered user of WinDVD and upgraded to WinDVD 7 Platinum in June and DVD Audio was working fine.
    I mistakenly downloaded an "upgrade" to WinDVD 7 at the end of July and found all my DVD Audio discs failed to play.
    Intervideo (as usual) refused to respond to my technical support queries when I enquired as to whether the DVD audio support was removed in view of the breach of the DVDA encryption.
    Thankfully the previous version was still available for download (after much searching on the web) - WinDVD.Platinum.7.0.Release.2.Build 27.07Using a new activation key from the Intervideo website STILL didn't enable DVDA playback on this previous version however.......... I was able to fudge this using the original purchase activation key by changing the PC system date to within 0 days of my initial activation key supply which I had stored in an email.Hey presto - back to WinDVD DVDA support!Intervideo are being very crafty.... they have updated the WinDVD website to remove all references to DVD Audio support and then were answering my technical support queries as if I wasn't configuring my PC correctly.
    What versions of DVD Audio playback software are you using?
    Creative DVDAudio player? WinDVD (version?)

  • DVD-Audio Player Update 2.00.75 won't inst

    Hi All,
    I have and Audigy 2 ZS Notebook card.
    I've installed the latest drivers (version 02.08.0004) today, and noticed the release notes states you should also install the DVD-Audio Player Update 2.00.75.
    So, being a disciplined customer, that's exactly what i tried to do.
    However, no matter how many times i've tried it, i can't seem to finish the installation of the DVD-Audio Player Update - somewhere during the installation i get the blue screen of death and the system reboots.
    Needless to say, i've turned off all anti-virus, firewall etc.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance, adam.

    Hi, Eck.
    Nope, no 9x in here, XP pro SP2, all updates etc.
    I've tried launching the DVD-Audio player as it is now (meaning after the installation crashed) and surprisingly (not) it won't launch (yet another crash, the application only this time, didn't take the whole system with it).
    Another thing that might be related - Creti've system information can't seem to finish it's information gathering as well (crash).
    And perhaps most annoying, it's all done on a fresh installtion of the card (completely re-installed it including registry cleaning etc.).
    Thanks again.

  • DVD-Audio Player Missi

    I just bought the Audigy 2 ZS soundcard and installed all the drivers and Creative Mediasource, but there is no DVD-Audio player as mentioned in the demo. Am I missing something here?
    Thanks,
    Randy

    you don't really need that dvd-a player from creative if:
    you already have one of the latest DVD video players (Like PowerDVD 6)
    In the dvd player configure the audio as spdif. (it's same signal as creative dvd-a uses)but then you'll see probably some images or video(because it's a dvd player(audio/video/data))Message Edited by www_96KHz_tk on 05-2-2005 02:09 AM

  • New drivers,dvd-audio player and console Audig

    WOW, you guys look like you have taken your time and finished it properly!
    Rather than use botched patches on patches etc! Congratulations!!!!! LOL.
    All that is left to do is integrate the "Creative Surround Mixer" into the Console, and have that load at startup instead.
    There is still a bit off different generational stuff mixed up on the graphics side.
    Media source should be integrated into the DVD-Audio player now, most PC's should be able to cope with the extra overhead these days!

  • How can I get netflix streaming audio, the video is fine but the audio coming through is from the TV(dish)

    how can I get netflix streaming audio, the video is fine but the audio coming through is from the TV(dish)

    It's exactly as I stated. Whenever I try to drag these kinds of loops (ESX24 / software instrument loops? the ones marked in green with the white music note next to them) from the loop browser into the timeline a message comes up saying Audio Not Found for that loop.  And a new track is created automatically when loops are dragged into the timeline, so I'm not creating some other random / synth instrument track so I'm not sure  what the deal is... But perhaps I'll try creating a software instrument track first and then drag the loop into that track and see what happens - maybe there's something with the default settings that automatically creates audio tracks whenever loops are imported?

  • I can't get my Adobe flash player 11.1.0 or greater on my PC

    I can't get my Adobe flash player 11.1.0 or greater on my PC

    On this topic : sound is garbled and sped up on Ustream videos in Chrome, IE, and Firefox. I tried to uninstall Version 17 and install the Beta but that didn't work. The uninstall left me with no flash for Firefox. I tried to download and install the recommended version that didn't work either.
    Some people are saying they can eliminate the garble by reducing the resolution to 460? I don't know where and how to do this. There doesn't seem to be any way to manage the Flash Player resolution size window.
    However, earlier I was able to view a clear stream with Ustream on a different computer-so I am afraid all this fussing has introduced a corruption onto my computer.
    Any help would be appreciated: i.e how to remove any errors I introduced and start over clean.
    Thanks

    Hi there
    As Mylenium said CS6 is no longer sold as a boxed product with a DVD set.  It is available via ESD and if you need a back up DVD set for your license you can purchase this by contacting customer service.

    If your model number isn't showing up in Printer Setup then you need to install the drivers. After you do that you should be able to setup your printer and print OK. Make sure Appletalk is checked in Airport in your Network Pref Pane.
