You are absoulty rite. there is no support. I have a t7700 card and I followed the tech supports email I recieved to the Letter and NOW i have to FORMAT C: and load my OS fresh. They say it's SP2. I say I need either a new Sound Card, or a new set of T7700 surround speakers. World of Hurt I've gone through in the last four days. Now I have to start all over again. But the techies are really NICE Darn Guys that know there stuff. If you believe that I have some land in AntArtica I can sell to you cheep.
InspireT7700. Audigy 2ZS. which one is the bigger lemon?

Optical Input on Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI-E with Logitech z-5

So i plugged in my Optical cord into my new sound card the Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI-E and it worked only in the Front right, Front left, Front centre, and the subwoofer. Now i hear i need a external decoder... but then again that my sound card should decode it as well... the place i bought my card recemended a optical cord for my card?with the?speakers i have?(the?Logitech Z-5500) How much are decoders? What should i do next? Creative seams to have limited support especialy on optical inputs.

I must have answered something like that in another thread sometime ago, but here goes:
A single SPDIF connection, optical or coaxial, will only transfer stereo in analog form; no rear or centre channels!
There are two ways you can get all speakers playing via such a connection:
() Get your speakers to upmix the audio source to play on all fi've of them
(2) Output a Dolby Digital (AC3) or DTS signal. These contain the multichannel information encoded in the stereo signal. A suitable decoder (such as the one contained in the Z-5500) will be able to analyze the signal. Unfortunately, this is something you can mostly find in movies.
So, to sum it up, no natural everyday multichannel sound over one SPDIF (e.g. no EAX, directsound3d etc.)

Computer Crashes with Creative Labs Sound Blaster 5.1 Live Card

Several weeks ago when I booted up my computer a msg apeared saying new device found(the sound blaster card mentioned in the title) even tough it had worked for months beofre then and even the night b4. Shortly after I get a beep from the mother board and the computer crashes several seconds after start up.
I thought maybe their could be some conflicting driver issues or something so I checked the BIOS and it said the onboard sound was disabled. Restarting the computer several times it kept crashing. I removed the card, booted up the computer and everything worked fine (except the sound) and it did not crash. I tried putting the card in the other PCI slots thinking that was the problem but it crashed each time.
Right now the card it ploped on the desk and I have the Creative 5. speakers running off the onboard card on my Is7-E mobo but the sound is **bleep**ty as hell and the speakers are ligned up corectly and I am having all sorts of trouble with that. I am getting basic sound though. I havnt had time to pursue the matter untill now. Do you guys think the card for some reason is damaged or Its an issue on my computer Crashing it's
Thanks,
-Mark

Heh, srry about using the S word. Ah, I whiped all the audio drivers etc...from the guid in that link. I poped the card in, booted up the computer...alas it still crashed. So now I have to get my temp sound working again. Is their anyway to tell if a compenent is phsicly dmged? I can not be shure if this is a software issue(which I dont think it is because I followed your whipe guid) or a hardware issue. I dont understand what could of hapened to it, it simply stoped working. Im not shure why my computer crashes at start up as mentioned above and doent simply not work. Any more thoughts would be great.

Just got the Creative Labs Sound Blaster Sound Card

ok, hooked it up and everything, plugged my three cables into the corresponding colors, the colors from the cables, from my speakers, match the colors on the sound card. I played numerous songs, and sound is only coming out of the front two side speakers, I have fi've speakers in total, I'm using Logitech 5.1 system, so I have a middle speaker, and a sub, and two speakers in the rear, does anyone know how I can get all the speakers to play at once?

WinXP, Sound Blaster Live! Platinum, no digital sou

So, I made the leap to WinXp from Win98se, just too many issues with new hardware, but now I'm running into a new snaffoo.
My Sound Blaster Li've! Platinum/Creative DxR 3 Decoder (w/6x DVD-rom) can't seem to get the digital sound going. I've got the MegaWorks 5. 550 speakers and DDTS-00 decoder.
Now in win98 this all worked (and I realize the DxR3 Decoder drivers were only beta and appear to have been abandoned by Creative) but there's no reason I shouldn't be able to plug the coax cable with the adapter my sound blaster li've using the S/PDIF connector in my Sound Blaster Li've!
I suspect the trouble is I'm using the winXP drivers that came with the installation and have NOT been able to install ANY of the Sound Blaster Li've! software, such as the PlayCenter, Launcher, AudioHQ, etc.
When I try to run the installer, it just hangs and does nothing. Suggestions? Ideas?
I'll probably have to get one of the new audigy cards, but I'm not current in the position to spend money on a new sounds, yet.

Sometimes it's better to just leave this alone.
So I extracted Li'veDrvUni-Pack using winzip and installed the new driver set in there.
Restarted and Blah. The new driver set not only misidentified my soundcard as Soundblaster Li've! Value, but now I have no sound what so ever.
I should have just left it alone and waited till I could afford a new card.
I followed the instructions for a CleanSweep and it didn't work. WinXP identified the soundcard and reinstalled the drivers (I'm guessing the default windows drivers) and still now sound.
Volume control does not load. When I go to it in Accessories I get, a message saying there are no acti've mixer devices available and to go to Add Hardware. I do that and it finds nothing.

5.1 speaker hook up with Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 Digital (Del

?????????????Hi Everyone,?I have a Dell computer, about?4 yrs. Old, that came with Sound Blaster Li've! 5. Digital (Dell) audio card pre-installed. I purchased a set of front speakers & sub woofer from Dell that all connect thro one speaker cord which is inserted in the ?"line out jack " on the Sound Blaster Li've! 5. Digital (Dell) card.Now I'm thinking about hooking up?a surround sound speaker system, or to my AV receiver. I also have a?"rear out jack" and a "analog/digital out jack" that I have never used. But I need some documentation on how to do this.Feed back will be appreciated.

I have a digital as well but it is virtually useless I have tried everything nothing on this site nothing works. As well. I have a 5. li've and every driver?Idownload corrupts within 2 weeks, speakers start to crackel yadayada. Is there any support at all from this site for the product that you put out? I notice the driver dates on the downloads page is way outta date by like 4 yrs,lol. I would like a lil help on these cards before i snap them in half an buy another maker which I would hate to do as I have always bought soundblaster and for all my customers as well. A nice updated drivers page would greatly be appreciated

5.1 Headphones with Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 Digital (De

Hi, I just purchased a pair of Kinyo 5. surround headphones and when I connect them to my Sound Blaster Li've! 5. Digital (Dell) soundcard, the center speaker sounds much weaker than the rest. I'm guessing that the black output on the card board is the rear speaker output, the green one the sides, and the yellow one the center/subwoofer or digital out. Enabling the CMSS setting helped a bit, but it still seems quite weak. Either that or the rear and side speakers are too loud. Is there any way with the card I have to adjust the levels of the side, rear, and center speakers?
-Evan

Try turning on the CMSS features. The sticky at the top of this (Sound Blaster) forum covers the steps on how to enable CMSS or you can check out the Knowledgebase article SID4883 for the steps.

In disbelief... A small rant about Creative Labs sound car

The issues with the SoundBlaster Audigy and IRQ NOT LESS THAN OR EQUAL errors were well documented and discussed at length by myself and several forum members a few years ago. I recently built a new system from the ground up, and hearing so much about how great the X-Fi was, I figured I'd give it a try, thinking that Creative wouldn't have possibly let the same kind of nonsense slip into this card. Well, guess what, a few years later, a new card with a supposedly different architecture, and the result is the same. BSOD's, IRQ errors, having to clear the CMOS just to get the system to boot again... all the fun symptoms that I dealt with before are back again.
I don't expect Creative to take responsibility for anything again this time, just as they turned a blind eye to the issue last time, but enough is enough. This may be the last time I ever purchase another SoundBlaster product.

Hi,
There's an Optical S/PDIF in jack on the sound card. For more information, you might want to download the user manual.

The front panel connections you want to use are adapted to be connected to a motherboard with audio included, NOT to a PCI audio card. You'll have to connect the front panel wires to your motherboard's audio connnector.

Can someone please help me with a Sound Blaster Live Probl

I have an older sound blaster Li've card. It stopped working so I tried to install new drivers for it. That diddnt work. I tried to let creative labs web sight try to do it automaticly, but it says no creative labs sound device found. So I took a working card, "The same Kind" and put that one in. When I restarted windows, it told me it found new hardware, but it said it diddnt want to install the new drivers that I downloaded because windows diddnt test them yet. I installed them anyway. This card does the same thing the one I took out did. When I play music in winamp I get an error No Sound Device Found. In media player I get windows cannot play this file there may be a problem with a sound of video device. I checked out my video card it seems to be working. I think I may have changed some settings somewhere but I cant seem to find anything myself. I would just upgrade but I'm afraid There might be something else wrong. Anyone can help I would aprecieate it Thanks in advance

I would really suggest formatting your harddisk and install the os afresh. If the sound card suddenly stop working, most likely it bode signs of the os having some problem already.

Sound Blaster Live! 24-Bit External crac

Creative Labs Sound Blaster? Li've!? 24-Bit External USB . (SB0490)?
I've seen plenty of popping/crackling posts and information, but never any pertaining specifically to this card.
I'm posting this for my girlfriend who just recently bought this card. The internal sound card in her laptop was beginning to go out, and soon she plans to build a new computer, so we thought getting her an external sound card would be a good choice as she could easily switch it between her?laptop and computer?once it's built.
Anyway, she recieves a strange anamoly I can only call a pop/crackle particularly while using the input functions of the card. More like what it is though, is it will frequently cut out, then it sounds almost like it's speeding back up to catch up with itself. When hearing her voice come through the input on a program such as Ventrillo, it cuts out frequently, occasionally makes some strange cracking sounds, and then often it will come back through and her voice will come through really fast.
According to her, the problem happens in output as well. I've not heard that myself yet, so I can't describe what that's like. It's very annoying however, is there anything we can do?
The laptop she's using is a Dell Inspiron 900 with nothing extra about it, nothing but the sound card plugged into it's many USB ports.

Take a look at the following thread:http://forums.creative.com/creativel...message.id=994?That is the best you can get. Did you run WindowsUpdate to get the drivers installed?If you did, just change the speaker setup to?4 speakers, then check and uncheck the?Digital Output Only checkbox to get sound back.
