Creative hardware with terrible software (EAX consol

Hello every body
I knew creative by soundblaster series.and i had some problems with eax when i had li've value card and now I bought an audigy 2 Zs but some problem i have with it.
I use eax features to nuendo or cubase and need to its parameters be safe.
for example before i update its driver (last driver in 2004) the tap delay parameter can be up to 000 ms but after update it reached to 202 ms!.and i used it in many of my songes before with 427 ms or above and so i have a problem with that
other problem is 4 importing eax in eax console.after i update driver again i cant import! (like before)! but creative has said this driver can solved importing eax console . is this problem 4 all audigy 2 zs users?
thanx
Best regards

ben_rollo, the EAX console?is included in your soundcard installation CD, and MediaSource "hooks" into it, if you lost your CD, there is a thread in this forum with downloadable ISO images for several models of soundblaster. It is also found in the "Basic Audio Suite" search for BasicAudio_PCApp__00_03.exe. Butcer, the Audio Console (different from EAX console) is now part of the drivers package (at least for the Audigy and X-Fi series) and a similar app called Device Control is available in the Basic Audio Suite for the?USB models.

Audigy WORKING with 5.1 AND software(EAX, THX console, bass redirection) Vista 32

This has taken me a week of fiddling, but now on Vista Ultimate 32bit I have most things up and running...
EAX effects and environments from the control panel work, THX console works, surround mixer, speaker settings work..Also I'm getting proper surround output =]
This isn't a complete fix; EAX console and the EQ don't work, and also it only lets me set 6bit@96khz in the control panel, 24bit isn't there =[
I'm using an Audigy 4...
First, I installed creative official vista drivers. Then uninstalled the drivers but left audio console installed.
Install Pax-Apps 2.32sp2 http://www.youp-pax.org/viewthread.php?tid=443&extra=page%3D
Reboot...now my audigy was not working here but all the creative apps were installed. THe youp-pax drivers caused a BSOD after the reboot but after another reboot it went into windows just without the sound working.
Run the Pax installer again, select remove drivers and remove them but leave the software, reboot.
Install the official Creative windows XP drivers. This is the hard step, I had some problems and had to reboot and uninstall-reinstall about 0 times before I finally got it working...but now it works.
Still, I want my 24bit and my EAX console =[

I have this (well kinda) problem also. Sometimes my system (see below) will work fine, but then suddenly the channels will swap or the sub just won't give any bass.
Have tried contacting both Creative and Microsoft support for some insight but nothing apart from the standard stuff so far. I guess its a vista/4Gb RAM issue. Looking forward to using WaveRt drivers in case they give a difference.
Thanks,

SB Xi-Fi gaming - x64 vista - EAX console software / "what u hear" ?

Greets,
I'm looking for the software that installs the EAX console, along with the "what u hear" input/recording options. I have the original driver installation cd - but for XP 32bit only, and I'm running vista64 currently. In the past, I downloaded this off the product support page, but the recent drivers I found there are driver only, and some watered-down options software.
The package I'm looking for included 3-5 pieces of software, of which the EAX console was one. Creative WAV studio was another. I don't recall the others.
Namely, I'm trying to find the components that allow me to record "what u hear" speaker output, as I hear it, and additionally reroute speaker output as line-in/mic input.
The BadBoy iso backup links don't resolve any more, not sure where else to find these.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
The EAX Console is something that's bundled in Audigy cards.
Which X-Fi card do you have exactly, SB X-Fi XtremeGamer?

E72 Great hardware Terrible software WHY?

I bought an E72 last weekend, because I needed a phone that has long battery life. I have to say I'm really disappointed with Software on the E72. My last 2 smart phones were Treo 650 and Apple iPhone(s). I'm still hanging onto my iPhone after this whole experience with the E72, and I'll still keep my E72 and hold out Hope that Nokia will improve. Given Palm Os not Web OS over the current Symbian OS on my E72 I'd take Palm OS.
The problem is not the Hardware, Nokia phones are gorgeous infact I would say better looking than RIM's or HTC for devices with physical keyboards. The problem is Software, having used the E72 for about a day and a half I realized that my iPhone didn't really come with an instruction manual... after trying to figure out how to configure the E72 I resorted to Google and the Manual that came with the E72, there are still some unanswered questions.
The main problem with the software is that there is NO flow... when I use it, it feels like the people who developed it each when in their own direction. For example updating software... the first thing I did when I started the phone is I plugged it into the charger, and tried to check for software updates... I found out via google there is a separate way to update firmware and actual software the SWUpdate program doesn't do firmware. Why not? and if it doesn't why don't you tell the user? to update the software you can download it via pc and upload it, punch in some key combo on the device and check for over the air updates.
Another problem is the software introduces the idea of "profiles" fantastic something I wish the iPhone had...there are different ways to change profiles "Mode" (work/personal) "Destination" (for connection profiles) are these 2 things linked??? I don't know it doesn't feel like it... I thought if I created a work destination and a home destination I can link it to a mode. I'm not sure if I can or can't do that. This leads to the problem of Applications always BUGGING you when it needs to connect to the internet. Why can't apps be smart and use the data connections set in the DESTINATION based on priority?
User interface of even the Nokia apps is terrible... for example the Nokia Messaging application that connects to Ovi, Gtalk, Yahoo and MSN.... the Tabs at the top of the screen to switch between services takes up 1/3 of the screen space WHY? Why can't you just combine all the lists or atleast provide an option to combine all the user lists into 1 big list?
Other problems that I had to google... when trying to update the OVI Store application I got a certificate error during the install process... The root cause of the problem was that the date/time was set incorrectly on the phone it took a good 30-40 minutes of googling to find that.
Is there a way to quit programs in your task manager or application switcher without actually switching to them?
The file manager for seeing files on your phone and SD Card are in OFFICE again what kind of logic is that?

Welcome to Symbian. I have been using it for over 5 years now and the answer to many of those questions is "there is no logic". To the location of the file manager, to the details about the firmware updater or to many, many interface and usability details.
My personal favorite is the fact that you cannot tell the difference between a folder (e.g.: Office) or an application (e.g.: App. Manager) just by the icon.
But this is Symbian 9.3 and with time you will realize that many of it doesn't appear to make sense and isn't obvious. Usability is typically poor. There is no way around this and anyone comparing to an iPhone or other modern gadgets will feel confused.
The positive aspect is that despite all the visual mess and lack of coherency, the E72 and other Symbian toys still provide a lot of functionality and power you will not find in other gadgets. The good profile flexibility is just a minor example.
I suggest you install JBakTaskman (at 1.35 now if I recall correctly) as it makes things easier when it comes to finding applications. You can just type part of the name and they will be located quickly without having to look around in folders. It also helps manage open Applications, Processes and Tasks or even define rules to auto-close them as needed.
Another good application to make things easier on newbies is Voyager Home Screen (again, allows you to quickly find any app and makes things a bit easier).
Keywords here are: Ugly and confusing? Yes. Powerful and productive? Yes. If you get past the first impact, you'll love it and realize that it actually packs a lot more punch than fancy touchy devices that are now popular.

Creative EAX Console audio effects don't work like before

My audio effects on my eax console used to make a bigger difference. ?I used to use Concert Hall and the reverb effect was much greater just until recently when I downloaded some upgrades creative said i needed. ?I have tried to edit the audio effect individually except there is no edit button like the "help" menus suggests me to use. ?wtf
?HELP!?

Hmmm. You seem to have tried, without success, most if not all of the methods of resolving a Ken Burns black screen issue.
Some thoughts that have occurred to me:
1. Perhaps your G4 500mhz Mac is not fast enough. I think that the minimum spec for iLife '06 is 733mhz. Might have nothing to do with this problem, but I just mention it.
2. Are the sizes of your images too large, as can happen with some of these new high def cameras? iMovie has trouble working with very large images.
3. Do you have any 3rd pary plug-ins, particularly in Quick Time, that could be causing a conflict?
4. Do you have enough disk space for the project to operate?
5. Have you done a recent Quick Time update? Some users have reported a problem with that.
6. From your post, it appears that you have continuously worked within the same iMovie file that exhibits the Ken Burns problem. If this is true, try creating a new iMovie project and experimenting with a few clips to see if the problem persists in the new project.
Ken Burns issues can be very frustrating. I think that you will need to keep trying things until something works. Wish I could be more help, but perhaps some of the tech experts on this forum will have some workable suggestions.
There is an application called Photo to Movie that reputedly has a far better Ken Burns type of effect. If you can't resolve your problem, you might try downloading that app. I believe that it offers a demo download.
Good luck.

Is the mac mini server the same hardware as the other mac minis (except for the quad core i7 and dual hard drives) with different software or is it configured differently?

I have a mac mini with an i7 dual core processor. It is perceptably slower than my macbook pro with a quad core i7. Does the mac mini server have the same hardware configuation as the regular mac mini with server software or is the hardware different (aside from the i7 quad core and dual hard drives)? I want a mini with a quad core i7...

Your assumption is correct. The server does however only
have the Intel HD3000 graphics like the base model with
no option, at this time, for the discrete graphics chip. So,
depending on what you are using it for, that could be a deal
breaker. Remember that your MBP does have a discrete
graphics chip.
I have a 2011 Mini Server connected to a Thunderbolt display
that gets used as an engineering workstation and general
personal use (some photo editing, LP restoraton, general
internet browsing). You simply just not enable any of the
server services. I find the combination to work quite well
for my purposes. I also have a 13" 2.7 GHz i7 Macbook Pro
which is pretty much strictly for work. As far as CPU
power it is pretty much equivelent to your Mini. For the most
part I find the Mini does outperfom my MBP. I heavily use
Parallels and Windows7 virtual machines, so the more cores
the better.
So, If you do a lot of CPU intensive stuff that is multithreaded,
the Server may help. If it is graphics intensive and your software
heavily leaverages the GPU, you may actually take a hit on
performance.

Trouble with the creative cloud desktop sync software

I've been using the creative cloud for about 6 months now and haven't had a single problem, though after this morning when I returned home from school my software is no longer able to connect to my cloud to sync files to and from the cloud. Is there an outage or a known issue with the software? I repeatedly get "cannot connect to the cloud" when I disable and re-enable syncing.
Message was edited by: Ghostsan

Please restart your computer and then try to work with Creative Cloud Connection to sync the data.
If you are still not able to use it download the update version AAM from below given path then try.

Hey Guys,Here is a link to instructions on how How to obtain and to install USB 2.0 drivers in Windows XP Service Pack . http://support.microsoft.com/default...;EN-US;Q329632?Win2000 and later have the capability to support USB 2.0, but USB 2.0 was released after XP was release, so there weren't any drivers installed before Windows XP service pack 2. Make sure you've installed all your windows updates including service pack 2. You can check if you have SP2 by right-clicking on my computer and choosing "properties", it will say on the general tab. Also the way to tell if you have USB 2.0 drivers installed is to right-click on my choose "Manage", then choose "device manager" look down to "uni'versal serial Bus controllers" and click on the + . This will expand the USB devices. Look for the word "enchanced" (USB enhanced host controller). If you see it, then you have USB 2.0 support. If not, use the link above and get the drivers. Hope this helps!?JT

Where is my EAX CONSOLE on AUDIGY 2 in Windows Seven 64bit??

?as i said, i really need eax console to increase or decrease volume of any of ma speakers. CREATIVE please help me to find solution. Sometimes i need [color="#ff0000"]concentrate all of sound to one speaker ex. rear left whiteout eax console i can't do that.
I buy AUDIGY 2 to have a nice sound and to use all of its features but whiteout proper software and programs is is worse than my nvidia sound on mother bard.
regards and waiting for your soon reply with an solution

Hello jmacguire,
I read your hint above a few weeks ago and then bought a used Audigy 4 Pro card with the intention to use it under Windows 7 x64 (because of missing features in the X-Fi software regarding EAX; compare my thread over there).
Your hint (copying the three files in the EAXCon setup directory) together with Daniel K.'s newest v3.8 Audigy Support Pack worked and I could successfully install EAX Console on Windows 7 x64. I used the same trick to install things like Surround Mixer from the original CD, too.
The driver itself works. The problem is, as soon as I start the installed Creative applications, they either immediately quit with "no supported hardware found" or show up with a GUI, where nearly everything is deactivated; cf. the following screenshot. Only the speaker settings seem to work correctly/as in XP:
How can I get back the functionality like editing EAX profiles, CMSS selection, ... in W7x64. Considering even Creative published a new Audigy series driver on 9th April 2010, which explicitly supports Windows 7 x64, there must be a way to get the software for this card running again, must it not?
Please help me, if you can. Thank you,
orthoceros.

About the EAX console or reverb, echo, whichever you cho

Someone care to help? I cant get the EAX console to make myself reverb or echo, it makes others reverb and echo..... I have tried everything i click the what you hear and turn the mic on, i've played with everything i can think of to make it work... The whole reason i bought it was so i could sing songs and make my voice echo in chat programs such as paltalk. So any information you all have on it will be helpful. I have the SB Audigy LS
Thanks much

OK.
As I stated on this forums I have problems with bass; there isn't any.
So I found out about this EAX Console.
.) Why isn't it available for download from Creative site? I mean it IS their product and their software for their sound cards. The only way is to dig the net for some weird links to a driver CD dating from like 2005 or smth...
2.) Why doesn't the Audio Console support some pretty important stuff (add-ons) from EAX Console like Speaker Setup where you can turn on your BASS channel (FFS people, Audio Console doesn't have this, how are you supposed to get your bass sounding) and test your speaker setup?
Srsly I had less trouble and better results using a on-board sound card than a 80$ sound card...
?Audio console is a nice tool, wich does include ALL regular?functions you will need. Why do someone regulary need a bass configuration? (most speakers dont need bass configuration @ all) Speaker setup is included, who needs a speaker test tool for that? If you want to play around, you are still able to use the much heavier tools. Most people, who dont need this stuff dont want to have this big and overloaded tools. Audio- console is fast, has got nearly all functions for regulary use and is very small. If you want to play around, there is still a CD in the box. If you bought a OEM/ BULK version your problem is self made. You didnt bought the software. You only bought the hardware. Soundfonts for MIDI playback can be loaded via soundfont- bank- manager or AHQ(older audigy drivers) So all needed functions are integrated into two tools. And many people dont need SFB, so Audio- console is all what they need to dri've around. Who needs a EQ? bass/ treble can be adjusted in Vollume tab. More than this isnt needed most times. Why isnt the software avaiable to download? You dont have a CD, so you dont have the rights to use this software (with the exception the CD was lost) Only drivers are available.

EAX Console issues: An error has occur

Hi there. My name is Emil, 2 years old, and from Gothenburg, Sweden.
I have a SoundBlaster Audigy 2ZS and EAX console , 5. i think. I've searched the board and read the FAQ without any help at all, so i made a new thread.
Yesterday, my EAX Console flipped out, or as a matter of fact, my whole Creative MediaSourcePlayer and all of it's function flipped out. Whenever i try to launch the following program, it says an error has occurred:
Surroundmixer (Surmixer)
EAX Console
AudioHQ
Creative MediaSource Player
THX Setup Console
Speaker Settings
Diagnostics
Graphic Equalizer
I've tried the following things:
) Reboot
2) Installing CMS_PCAPP_LB_3_30_2.exe as stated in the help.
I don't know anything about Hardware, so for me to switch PCIslots and stuff like that is impossible. I have no issues about regedit or stuff like that, but I just can't handle anything concluding the hardware.
Thanks in advance, and regards // Emil Svensson, Sweden.

IIrc, this issue has already been here (though looooong ago) and the cure were to reinstall some dll(s), but I can't remember which ones.
If not already tried this, try w/ reinstalling the whole software bundle from original CD (no drivers, but software only). You can start the installer from CD by running the start.exe which can be found on folder CTRun\.
Hoppas det ?r en l?sning.

Audigy 2 - EAX-Console crashes everyti

Hi,
I own the Audigy 2 ZS and have some trouble with the EAX-Console.
When I want to change some settings there (CMSS f.e.) the software just hangs up.
Like 80% of the time and I am not able to restart it, until I do a reboot.
I have the latest drivers, so I tryd that already.
Any suggestions?

I am having the same problem as you guys, I have Audigy2 ZS retail and everything was working fine until I got Silent Hunter 3. It was suggested I re-install the soundcard drivers/software so I tried that. Now my EAX console, Graphic Equalizer, surround sound mixer, creative speaker settings will not open. I've also tried a system restore, uninstall, re-install using the cleansweep method, drivers from disk and online got all updates. I've repeated this four or fi've times and Still nothing. When I tried to open the EQ an error pops up that says nothing in it except a red X. EAX console says "no components registered".
I hope I don't have to re-install Windows just to get this soundcard software working properly agian.
Thanks

I cannot believe that a product that I have only had for 5 years does not seem to be compatible with the new windows....please tell ne I am wrong, and you folks at Creative did write an upgrade for us mere mortals. I truely love the program and use it almost daily.....so tell me, do I have to buy a new version everytime I have to but a new computer?....if so, you folks are just as screwed up as Microsoft....planned obsolecence is a pathetic way to do business.... TELL me I am just a dumb**bleep** whio can't figure out which download to use.

EAX Console/Aud Clean Er

I have a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 card. Whenever I go to start the EAX console I get an error message. It goes as follows:
Title: Aud Clean
Body: Exception -- CreateObject : Exception:FactoryNotFound Message:"Invalid Factory in CreateObject : CRecordSchema" At:Wednesday, July 3, 2005 23:45:46
Then I get another error box (One of those Microsoft program crash boxes)
Title: Creative MediaSource Player
It goes on to state that Creative MediaSource Player has encountered an error and needs to close. (It has send error report and all that)
Then I get a critcal error box that goes as follows:
Title: CTCMS.exe - Application Error
Body: The instruction at "0x04e9f79" refrenced memory at "0x00000008". The memory could not be "read".
Click on OK to terminate program
I have clean booted, clean installed Windows, clean intalled the drivers/software and nothing is working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It doesn't crash if I just choose a song from the playlist that is there when I load it up, I just now chose different songs throughout the acti've playlist, I then emptied the playlist, chose an artist, album, and hilighted all the songs and drug them into the playlist and it crashed instantly..
AppName: ctcms.exe AppVer: 3.0.37.0 ModName: ctplayq2.dll
ModVer: 3.0.0.0 Offset: 00077
which is different from last time, last time was
AppName: ctcms.exe AppVer: 3.0.37.0 ModName: msvcp60.dll
ModVer: 6.2.304.0 Offset: 000026d
I just now ran it in PLAYER MODE to see if it was only doing it when I was in the organiser mode, and i went to add to the playlist, as soon as I choose the tracks and press ok, it acts as if it is going to load them, and then it crashes. this time with the 2nd error msg from above. I just now tried with a different SKIN, didn't know if that would make a differense, but sometimes certain skins in certain programs have bugs, but same as before, adding anything to the playlist crashes the player. It didn't used to do that. Last week it worked fine. I don't get it.
You have any clue as to what might be causing it's
Thanx for the reply.. I really appreciate it.
