Re-installing Creative Alchemy does not seem to work?

Hi,
I could really need some help regarding the Creative Alchemy install on Windows7 BETA 64bit!
I did successfully install the latest Auzentech Prelude driver package over at Auzen, along with the latest Creative Alchemy without any issue (had to be launched in Vista RTM compability mode, that's all)
But those RC8 drivers from Auzentech didn't prove to be that good on Win7 BETA to say the least, then I stumble upon this X-Fi Support Pack by Daniel_K (thanks once again mate!) and before installing that I did of course un-install all that followed with the Auzentech Prelude RC8 driver package, including the Alchemy applications, along with DTS, Dolby Li've, Audio Console etc..After that I ran Dri've Sweeper to make sure all was gone!
The X-Fi Support Package installed without any issues at all, and finally the drivers are working!
But now Alchemy suddenly refuse to install? Neither the older Alchemy version over at Auzen nor the latest one from Creative will install?
I just get this error 6003:.
" Setup has experienced an error.
Please do the following:
- Close any running programs
- Empty your temporary folder
- Check you Internet connection (Internet-based Setups)
Then try to run the Setup again
?Error Code: -6003 "
Have any of you stumbled upon this issue before? How on earth can I resolve it's
I tried to completely un-install the X-FI Support Pack, ran Dri'veSweeper and made sure everything that had to do with both Auzentech and Creative got wiped from my computer, I ran CCleaner and it's regcleaner, I ran disk cleanup etc.. But still the same error?
Do I really have to re-install the entire operati've system to make Creative Alchemy install once more?
There has to be some reason for this error? Is there something hidden on my computer blocking the install or something? Do any of you have this problem if you try to un-install and then re-install Alchemy?

Absolutely no problems installing ALchemy on Win7 x64.
Are you running the self-extractor?
Try to extract its contents with WinRAR or WinZip and run setup.exe.

Creative ALchemy doesn't work at

?Just installed Creative ALchemy and "transmuted" all supported games - WC3, NWN, NWN2 and M2TW. Problem is, I still can't choose EAX support in these games. The option is grayed out or displays the error message "no hardware support". I have X-fi Xtrememusic and running Vista. Oh and yes, I read the FAQ. Not very helpful. It just says "you must transmute your games". Well, yeah, I did. They are supposed to be in the Open AL column, right? Tried rebooting, too.Message Edited by Xschtar on 02-8-200706:27 AM

My bad, I didn't realize that the XtremeMusic was actually a product, since I can't find it anywhere on the US site. If the transmute thing isn't working, check to make sure that the files are in the right directory. ALchemy places two files, dsound.dll and dsound.ini into the directory where the game is installed. If the games are not installed in their default directories (ie. another dri've) then you may need to manually place those files in the same directory as the game. Basically, if dsound.dll and dsound.ini aren't in the same directory as the game, copy them to that directory and everything should work. Also, some games will have two separate .exe files for online/offline games, and if they're in different folders, then they each need a copy of those files. If the files are where they should be, then I have no idea what is wrong.

Creative Alchemy & Windows 7

Creative Alchemy was a great innovation for putting DirectSound3D back into games that ran on Windows Vista & putting the EAX effects back in many games like Unreal Tournament 999, Deus Ex, Half-Life & a slew of other games.
Unfortunately, Creative Alchemy is failing in Windows 7 with many games whereas it worked in Vista. This is NOT a complaint-type post, but rather a plea for the Mods & Devs at Creative to please address these issues in a timely manner.
Windows 7 is a better operating system than Vista, so I think it's a worthwhile endeavor, as there are more people that play these older games, that are migrating to Windows 7, than one might care to believe. I'm one of them. Please don't be decei'ved, this is NOT a small group of people/gamers.
I know that there are individuals out there that will say "Windows 7 is nothing more than the same pile of road apples as Vista, with a different swarm of bugs crawling all over it"? -- and to a degree-- you are right ( no hardware abstraction layer reimplemented -- they should have-- they did dress up OpenGL graphics rendering ). But Windows 7 is still a better OS that Vista -- hands down.
As I said before Windows 7 is worth the endeavor, as is a lot of these older games. Especially Unreal Tournament 999, as even 0 years later after its release, it still is regarded as the best game in the Unreal series by a great many and the on-line player numbers prove it. I've purchased and played all the Unreal Series games and played them extensi'vely & I can tell you, for a fact, that running Unreal Tournament 999 on XP with EAX effects, on an X-fi Extreme music card, the sound displacement was far superior than any of the other Unreal series games. It's not even remotely close. Creative Alchemy had carried this great sound in Unreal Tournament 999 over to Vista, now lets take it to the next level and get it carried over to Windows 7.
Also there are thousands of players & servers running Half-Life & its many mods ( Counter-Strike, anyone? ) and it may pertain to Half-Life 2 as well.
And BTW, Ive tried a multitude of different drivers & alchemy releases & Daniel K's driver packages. Sorry, but these don't get DirectSound3D to work in Windows 7.
So, I'm coming here & BEGGING, PLEADING -- PLEASE address this issue in a timely manner.

$ I'm pretty sure Microsoft revamped some of the Audio stuff after so many people complained about the way it was changed in Vista. I have been playing my older games and have not even reinstalled Alchemy, they seem OK to me. Was getting nice surround sound in Unreal Tournamnet last night when I tired it out.

Creative ALchemy Guide and FAQ

Hi everyone,?
I have decided to include this for the benefit of those who are new.
Creative ALchemy
al-che-my [al-kuh-mee] ~ any magical power or process of transmuting a common substance, usually of little value, into a substance of great value. - Dictionary.com
In Windows Vista, Microsoft has decided to remove the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) for DirectSound and DirectSound3D. The HAL is the software layer that on previous Windows Operating Systems enabled an audio accelerator such as the SB X-Fi, to provide DirectSound3D applications with hardware accelerated audio. This enabled soundcards to perform tasks such as sample-rate conversion, mixing, 3D spatialization using HRTFs, filtering, and effects processing. Without the HAL, DirectSound on Windows Vista will be rendered in software on all sound cards with no advanced functionality such as EAX.
The good news is that Creative ALchemy allows you to run your favorite DirectSound3D games on Windows Vista as the developers intended - with advanced 3D Audio processing and EAX support!
NOTE: All Sound Blaster X-Fi and most Sound Blaster Audigy series of cards include ?nati've? OpenAL support. This means that most games that use the OpenAL Audio library will not be affected by the changes in Windows Vista. OpenAL support is available in many modern PC games including Battlefield 242, Doom3, Quake 4, and Prey.

Download:
Creative ALchemy .25.0
Filesize : 8.2 MB
Release date : 20 Mar 09
Previous announcement:
Starting from 6 May 2008, the Creative Alchemy (for Audigy products) is available for FREE. No purchase is necessary to use this software. Original post.
Operation
When launched, the Creative ALchemy application will search the system for supported DirectSound3D enabled games. All the games found will be listed in the left pane (titled "Installed Games"). The right pane (titled "ALchemy-enabled Games?) will show any games which have already been converted to use ALchemy.
To enable ALchemy support for a particular game, select it from the left panel, and press the >> button. To undo ALchemy support, select the game from the right panel and press the << button. You can select multiple games at once and then use the directional arrow buttons to update them all.
Adding / Editing Games
The following sections contain information about how you can upgrade games to use Creative ALchemy technology. This is intended for users who are comfortable navigating the Windows File System or using the Windows Registry to retrieve information.
If you want to test out a favourite game that is not currently supported, then please read the following information.
NOTE: Games can use the DirectSound3D library in radically different ways, so not all of them will work with Creative ALchemy. A list of officially and unofficially supported games, including the appropriate settings (see below) can be found on http://connect.creativelabs.com/alchemy/default.aspx. Users are encouraged to share their experiences (and ALchemy settings) by contributing to the Games list.
Pressing the ?Add? button brings up the Game Settings dialogue box requesting information about the title you wish to add. Pressing the Edit button with a game selected brings up the same dialogue box filled with the current settings so they can be altered.
Game Title
Type in the name of the game you wish to add, as you want it to appear in the ALchemy application.
Location
The ALchemy application needs to know where to find the installed game. This can be done by providing the full directory path to the installation folder, or, by looking up the installation folder in the Windows Registry. As most games add a key to the Windows Registry indicating where the game has been installed, this option enables ALchemy to find games on any user?s machine. The alternati've, a hard-coded directory path, is specific to each user because most games allow the user to specify a custom directory into which the game is installed. Finding a Registry Key can be tricky and is only recommend for advanced users familiar with tools such as regedit.
To enter a registry key select the ?Use Registry Path? button. Enter the full path and registry key name that stores the string containing the game?s installation folder. E.g. Call Of Duty stores this information in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Activision\Call Of Duty\InstallPath
To provide a game?s installation folder select the ?Use Game Path? button. Enter the full path (including dri've letter) to the game?s installation folder. E.g. If Call Of Duty was installed in a Games directory on dri've C, you should enter c:\Games\Call of Duty
The purpose of providing this information is so that the Creative ALchemy application can copy a couple of files to the game?s installation folder. These two files must be copied to the same folder as the game?s executable. In some cases the game?s main executable is not stored in the game installation folder, but one of its sub-directories. If this is the situation then enter the sub-directory name in the ?Install into Sub Folder? edit box. E.g. Serious Sam Second Encounter stores the game executable in a sub-directory called ?bin? so this should be entered here.
In some even rarer cases, a game may require that the two ALchemy files are copied into two locations ? the game installation folder, and a sub-directory. (This can happen if the game has a configuration application in one folder and the game in another). To copy the files to both locations, tick the ?Install into both Root and Sub Folder? check box.
When you close the dialogue box, the application will verify the location settings and display an error message if a registry path is not found or a directory path doesn?t exist.
Settings
To upgrade a legacy DirectSound3D based game to use Creative ALchemy involves copying a couple of files to the same directory as the game's executable. The first file is called dsound.dll and does the work necessary to re-enable 3D audio and EAX, the other file, dsound.ini, contains configuration options that affect how the audio will be rendered. The variables in the dsound.ini are controlled by the following options in the dialogue box: -
'Buffers' is used to set the number of audio buffers used internally. The default value of 4 should be fine for most applications.
'Duration' is used to set the length in milliseconds of each of the audio buffers. The default value is 25ms.
The total duration of the audio queue used internally is equal to Buffers * Duration (i.e. 00ms by default). Experimenting with Duration values may be necessary in order to find the best performance vs. quality trade-off for each game. In addition, some games require smaller values than the default of 25ms because they use very small DirectSound Buffers for streaming, or they require faster playback position updates. Reducing the ?Duration? value can prevent audio glitches, pops and clicks.
However, lower values mean that there is more chance of the audio breaking up during CPU intensi've moments (e.g. lots of disc access during level loading). The recommended approach is to try the default settings, and if audio artifacts are regularly heard then try lowering Duration by 5ms and trying again. If the problem still occurs try dropping the value by another 5ms and so on (minimum allowed value is 5ms).
'Maximum Voice Count' is used to set the maximum number of hardware voices that will be used by ALchemy. The number of voices used will be the lesser of, the hardware voice count limit and this setting. The default is 28 which is the highest number of voices available on SB X-Fi cards. By lowering this value, hardware voices can be reserved for another application to use, or, to improve performance by streaming less audio channels.
'Disable Direct Music' is used to disable DirectMusic support. The default is false (unchecked), meaning DirectMusic support is enabled. At this time no known problems have been caused by combining ALchemy with games, such as TRON 2.0, that use DirectMusic.

Sound delay in Call of Duty 2 with Creative Alchemy

Hey!
I get sound lag with Windows 7 (64 bit ultimate) when I play Call of Duty 2 like the animation come first then the sound get in after. It's really annoying. This only happen with windows 7. I've got windows xp too and everything is fine but I want it to work well on my windows 7. I have another sound card (Realtek integrated) and there everything is fine on Windows 7. It doesn't work properly only with Windows 7 + 3d sound in game. My friend have 'Creative Tactic 3d Alpha + included sound card + the same options as I (3d sound in game, windows 7 + creative alchemy' and he doesn't have any problem with this **** delay in game. Any solutions? Thanks you in advance!

Hi
In Audio MIDI Setup, change Properties For to Built-in Output. It will then change from Output Not Supported to Input Not Supported & the Output bit will become active.
Another way of restoring sounds is to open GarageBand, play a few notes on the screen keyboard, then quit GarageBand.

Creative ALchemy different version for different cards or one for a

Hello,
if there are different versions from Creative ALchemy
In the forums i found somthing about
- ALchemy for Audigy,
- ALchemy X-FI Editon
and on the Creative Download Page i found "Creative ALchemy .20.04". Also on my driver CD was an ALchemy X-FI Editon.
Whats the different between this versions and what the different to "Creative ALchemy .20.04" (all in one)
Maybee ALchemy for Audigy and ALchemy X-FI Editon are older version and now are only on version for all cards
Regards, Henry

Hi,
Previously Creative maintained a version of ALchemy for the Audigy and X-Fi's as seperate applications.
Acouple of weeks/months ago, Creative announced that as of .20.04, all Audigy and X-Fi's would be supported by the one application.
Just download and install the version you have found on the Creative Download Page.
Andrew.

Need speaker repair.... Creative won't help at all.

Yeah so I have a gigaworks s700 and the center channel connector on the subwoofer is wiggly. I think it just needs soldered back on but there is no easy way to get to it without taking a whole lot of stuff apart and ripping glued pieces apart. So I'm not inclined to go digging through it when it still functions as a 4.1 system just fine. After multiple emails to creatives "Customer Support" I am still stuck. Aparently they like to tell us that the product is at the end of its service life and they totally turn their back to it which is the total opposite of customer support.
So creative won't help and I am leaning towards never buying Creative again.. which pains me to say it. If I have to put up with this lack of support with any more of their products I will scream.
So anyways.... if ANYBODY has an 800 number of creatives that has PEOPLE I can talk to that are preferably english speaking with minimal accents and does not charge me 2.99 to see if my cables are plugged in right, I would be grateful. Also, I am willing to PAY to have this woofer repaired by a professional if Creative has such a thing. Any info from anyone is grately appreciated. Thanks!
Unhappy customer

Dude, get out your screwdriver, pliers and the soldering iron.
Even if you're not handy at all, you still got a much better chance of fixing the thing than waiting for official support.
Good luck, mate.

The headphone jack malfunction Creative won't help me w

I have a Zen Micro 6GB with a headphone jack on life support. I've tried contacting Creative for the location of a repair depot, but since it's paid for and the warranty's finished they've quit responding. I guess I'm on my own now, and it may not be a "Creative" solution that replaces the Zen. Supposing every company abandoned their customer after the warranty ran out. Wouldn't YOU try another brand Their website offered NO "creative" solutions, or direction to where you could get an otherwise good product once they had your money and had a replacement model to sell you. Well, I'm now looking at home repair, because unless I cough up for a long distance call to someone who may or may not have a repair solution for me, this puppy goes into the drawer with the other dead battery-operated devices, the electronic graveyard. Bye, Creative.

Jonz,?I also am a newbie and I joined to look for people with your Zen Micro headset problem, so I could pass on the help I got. When you read below, you will know why Creative won't help you--Too much to admit!!!. The below web site provides guidance on how to probably fix the problem you have. I just fixed my daughters after finding this fix. When you open up your Zen, you won't believe how cheap the soldering is on both the Headset and the USB connection points. It appears to be generic the 6GB Micro. So, its not IF your Headset won't work, its just WHEN. These are not electrical connections, but rather connections that keep both Headset and USB pieces from moving on the circuit bd. There are 8 total. On my daughter's Zen, one of the four on the Headset module was just sort of laying on top of its mounting point, letting the Headset connector move a lot on the board, as if no solder was installed at all. The other 7 looked they were just glued down--waiting to come loose. Two things not mentioned in the fix.
. When you take the metal casing out of the plastic cover, you may encounter two small cotter pins (not mentioned in the article). Instead of finding where they came from, I just reassembled the unit without them. No problem. 2. One of the Heaadset solder points (for me the one that was completely loose) is mid-on-the-board in between the?Headset and USB?connectors.
The soldering iron adaptor I had would not?reach the point without melting all the Headset plastic and?possibly frying the Headset connection beyond repair. Had to buy a Radio Shack circuit board soldering iron?for about $8 with a narrow shaft and?long tapered point to reach the point. Fix went perfectly. Good luck.
