Creative MediaSource 3.30 on SB Audigy 1 possib

I noticed in the downloads section for SB Audigy that the Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer v3.30.2 program is now available for download for SB Audigy () users.
I own an SB Audigy (Digital Entertainment edition).
I've installed the latest drivers for it in Windows XP (except the newest beta driver which I haven't tried).
I downloaded the 52Mb Creative Mediasource 3.30 program and tried installing it.
However, upon finishing extracting files, the application will tell me "not able to find audio device" or something, it suggests me to retry or cancel. Clicking "retry" will show "searching for installed components" and then pop up the same error message. Clicking "cancel"... well, cancels the installation.
So it seems that I'm unable to try out this MediaSource program for my SB Audigy .
Is there some way to make MediaSource install on my SB Audigy ? I'd like to see what this MediaSource is really all about (like playing music files with EAX Advanced HD, etc).
(maybe it's possible to edit some configuration settings file prior to running the installation setup.exe so that the app will install?)
Thanks to anyone who has successfully done that.

R.U. lazy? Why can't you try it by yourself.
Well, I tried it. But it pops out a message saying my system doesn't have the proper components (some such thing -- I'll try to get the exact message next time)...
I have an SB Audigy card properly installed with the latest drivers (and functioning without problems).
As for nvidiot's suggestion to run the setup.exe program. I believe I also tried that method and it showed up the same error message (sorry, will jot down the message next time).
However, I'm interested in this "ctcomp" utility you mentioned that can patch the setup files. How is the ctcomp used? (I recall having an experience with a pre-patched Audigy2 drivers quite some time back. It already had a prepatched ctcomp.dat or some similar thing which allowed the Audigy2 sound driver to install on Audigy sound card.)
So I surmise this method might work (assuming the Creative MediaSource relies on the same identification mechanism).

Ok, I've finally gotten this thing to install. I probably wasn't running the correct setup.exe program as mentioned above. I went to the SETUP\SETUP directory and run the SETUP.EXE there. The CMS program started to install and after a few minutes of hard disk activity, the setup program told me to restart the system, after which the Creative MediaSource program is installed. (no need for the ctcomp thing)
Thanks to all that helped me here.Message Edited by dta on 0-08-2006 03:3 AM

Cannot Uninstall Creative MediaSource from System (Audigy 2 card from De

Cannot uninstall MediaSource software from XP system, get message (in control panel>add/remove programs): "An Installation Support File Could Not Be Installed. The system cannot find the file specified." Have tried re-installing the software, but to no avail.
Also, not sure if this is worth mentioning, but the Audigy 2 card (and software) that I have came with my Dell system.

I am getting the exact same error when I try to remove Creative MediaSource and Creative System Information from XP Add/Remove Programs ...
I am using an Audigy 2 ZS (retail) and have installed the updated drivers, yet I get the message that I cannot uninstall prior versions because of 'missing files'.
Updating the drivers and software SHOULD remove any prior installations. However, as a programmer, I understand how difficult it is to plan for every contingency.
It would be nice to be able to totally remove all vestiges of the software and driver before installing new drivers.
Redundant out-of-date software leads to more memory leaks than poor programming.

Creative MediaSource and SB Audigy

I have an SB Audigy Digital Entertainment and have installed Creative MediaSource 3.30.2. My question is how do you enable eax, svm and crossfading in MediaSource? All of them are grayed out from the Play menu. Also the effects bar does not appear. From what I know audio cleanup, time scaling, svm and crossfading is supported by Audigy.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have SB0360 (SB Audigy 2z platinum pro) with the exact same problem. EAX, SVM and Crossfading options are grayed out from the Play menu and also do not appear at bottom of player view...
I have CMS Version 03.30.2 installed. Also have the Audio Console. I tried installing the
SBAX_WEBUP_LB_2_08_2004.exe drivers. The install messages indicated a successfull installation and instructed me to reboot.... I then attempted to install the DVDA_PCApp_LB_2.00.75.exe but the Install generated the msg ' setup did not detect the required components setup will now exit '
I'm confused... (I received no errors when installing 2.08.2004 drivers)
I am running Windows XP SP2. I went into the hardware device manager to display the driver version under the Sound, video and game controllers (Creative SB Audigy 2ZS (WDM). Drivers are identified as
Driver Provider: Creative , Driver Date: 2/8/2005, Driver Version 5.2.8.64
I'm confused by the CMS version versus the driver version...
Does the CMS Version 3.30.2 mean I've got .84.55-R version of drivers?
I bought the PC in OCT 2004 with the Card already installed... The install disk is dated 2003 and has a s/n 320ML0000230 on the sleeve and on the disk...
I'm assuming that this is not the 2.08.2004 drivers but how do I know for sure?
Can anyone help explain how I can resolve this?

Creative MediaSource will not play certain MP3

I have a Creative Audigy 2 NX with a remote that I really want to be able to use. Programs such as GIRDER, WinLIRC, and uICE do not support the RM-500 remote control.
I can't figure out how to control the remote beyond editing and creating key files that send ASCII commands, but the problem with that is I cannot control programs that are not currently acti've. In other words, I cannot control winamp if I'm playing a game with my remote, which is what I want to do. The KEY files are structured as this:[KeyEvent690 etc]KeyName=whateveryouwantdisplayedNotification=- or 2 or 4KeyEventRemap=this is the important partHandleByApp=i don't know what this doesAnyway, if I set notification to -, I can send ASCII commands-- BUT these will not send to programs not currently on top. If I set notification to 2, as Creative did in their Winamp .x key file, I could control the program even if it is not on top-- BUT I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE KeyEventRemaps NUMBERS SHOULD BE. I cannot find this information, and I have tested as far as I am capable of doing manually (tested numbers through 500 MANUALLY).So what I want to be able to do is use my remote to control winamp, but that is impossible. And Creative MediaSource will not play streaming audio (for God knows why...). So what I decided to do was record to an MP3 player with a third party program and play that MP3 in the Creative MediaSource software (the built-in recorder will NOT work, as I cannot structure that into a playlist nor can I play the recording media nor can I minimize the program and mute the feedback-- I can only record if I'm playing, and this doesn't work). The first problem I encountered was several programs would not output MP3s that were playable as they were being recorded, however I finally did find one. This program, 3aLab iRadio, allows the MP3 to be played back WHILE simultaneously being recorded. The only problem is that this the Creative MediaSource software will NOT play the mp3. Out of the 5 different MP3 players I tested, ONLY the Creative MediaSource software would not playback the MP3 as being written. I cannot figure this out, and I am at a loss as to what to do next. I realize that Creative won't support streaming audio with their player, MediaSource, but what I like to do is listen to streaming internet radio as an item on my mp3 playlist in winamp. I wish to be able to control this with my remote, but as I cannot find ANY WAY out there to control my remote as I wish without further information, this is a dead end. My alternati've is to use the Creative software for which the remote was designed to work, but unfortunately this does not support streaming internet radio nor does it support MP3s that are being written to. This is driving me insane.
What I want to be able to do is have a playlist that I control with my remote, with the first item on the list being internet radio, the 2nd and such on down being MP3s. In winamp, this is doable, as well as in Windows Media Player, and most MP3 players out there. Since I cannot do this in Creative's software, I need a workaround alternati've. PLEASE.
So, in conclusion, is there anyone out there who can either tell me how to control my remote directly by identifying what the notification=2 keyeventremap=configuarions are, give me a program like girder however which supports the RM-500 remote, or tell me how to get MP3s that are being written to (aka incomplete) to play in the Creative MediaSource software?
Thank you very much for your time.

Cannot play audio CD with Creative MediaSource Pla

Hi All,
I recently installed an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum soundcard and the Creative MediaSource Player software. I also purchased Creative 5. Analog speakers. Have everything configured pretty well now and really enjoying the enhanced sounds!
My problem is that I cannot play audio CDs using the MediaSource Player. I can see my DVD Player and CD Player in the MediaSource Player 'Source' column and a list of all the tracks on the CD. (no track info, just track numbers and length)
When I double-click on a track it cycles through all the tracks and then places an 'X' next to each one in the 'Now Playing' list window. If I have other music files from my harddri've available, it will start playing one of them.
I've tried different CDs with the same results.
I can use both the DVD and CD dri'ves to play an audio CD if I use any other player (Winamp, Windows Media Player, etc.) and use both dri'ves everyday for loading software and reading files. It will also read the demo DVD Audio disk that came with the card using the DVD-Audio player they provide so I'm pretty sure there's nothing wrong with the hardware or drivers.
I've read all the info that came with the card and on the Creative Web site and have been through every configuration screen multiple times but haven't found a switch that turns this feature on.
Would like to get this working so I can standardize on one player that allows me to use all the advanced features of my new card.
Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this.

A good way to see what kinds of things you might need for something like vlc is to look at the optional dependencies for the package. So if you do pacman -Qi vlc if the package is installed on your system already, or pacman -Si vlc if not yet installed, you can see in the output what kinds of optional dependencies there are. Typically there is a short description of the extra functionality that the optional dependency can provide as well.
So in the case of vlc (and the libcdio optional dep) I get:
$ pacman -Qi vlc
Name : vlc
<SNIP>
Optional Deps : avahi: for service discovery using bonjour protocol [installed]
<SNIP SOME MORE>

Creative Mediasource

Hey
How Come original users--Audigy 2 Platinum etc users, are stuck using Creative MediaSource .0, when Audigy 2 ZS users have Access to Mediasource 2, this is so unfair from Creative, I like that program, but I guess Creative doesn't feel us original Audigy 2 USers need updated software at all.

Anyone have some input on this question? but if no replies I guess not
Overall I'm happy with my Audigy 2 Platinum..just wish updated software was provided,and then I'd be perfectly happy. My last soundcard was SB Li've value--and used for over 5 years, and I was so glad that one that the li'veupdate pack or whatever it was called, when I got this Audigy 2 Platinum, I was so happy, but for a while there I was having driver/software issues, those are all resolved now.

MPEG-4 Audio and Creative MediaSource Organi

I used iTunes before purchasing Audigy 4, and a good chunk of my music is in MPEG-4 Format, but my creative Mediasource Organizer won't play them. Anyone know what and how to convert them so they will play on the Organizer?

iTunes will convert to MP3. I think this is probably your best option.

Creative mediasource resets my computer when I run

Hi I have Win XP Home with latest updates, 3.0ghz pentium 4 cpu, 000mb ram, 20gig harddri've, Creative Soundblaster Audigy 2 sound card. When I run Creative Mediasource Organizer or Player my computer it immediately loads, and then crashes and resets. It worked perfectly a month ago when I last used it to put music on my Zen Touch. The creative mediasource software and drivers were included in my CD-rom that I got with Audigy 2 sound card in Christmas 2003 (I think). I have tried uninstalling all the creative software and drivers and then doing a re-install but the same happens again when I run Mediasource Organizer or Player it resets. I am trying to put music on to my Zen Touch and I can't because of this problem. I am just going to use my brother's laptop to see if I can get it work on there. Thanks if you can help.

Got it working now.

Creative MediaSource Organiser cuts the sound off with latest driv

I have an Audigy 2 ZS with the latest drivers and the latest Creative MediaSource Organiser. What happens for no reason is that playing some music, wav or mp3 the sound goes off. This does not happen with all songs. This affects everything, no sound whatsoever in any game or windows. The only way to get the sound back is to use the Creative Diagnostics and put all settings back to the default. While it is good to have this fix, it did not happen with the previous drivers. And should not happen. Is it a fault with Creative MediaSource Organiser? And are Creative going to update this program.

Yes, while playing a song in Creative Mediasource for no reason the sound goes off completely. This affects all the sound for the computer. Quiting Creative Mediasource does not restore the sound, neither does restarting the computer. I have to use the restore defaults to get the sound back and this works immediately. As I said this problem has only started with the new drivers.
That is why I said that MediaSource is not the cultprit. The driver probably is the cultprit.

Technical question about Creative MediaSource 3.30.21‏

Hello:
I use Creative MediaSource software to manage my Creative MP3 player. When I hook up the MP3 player using the USB cable, I can play songs in the "player" within the MediaSource organizer. How do I set it so that the songs (which reside on the MP3 player) will play on my computer speakers (not through the MP3 player)?
Im summary, when I play a song that li'ves on my computer, it plays through the computer speakers, but songs that li've on the MP3 player play on the MP3 (even though I'm controlling them via the MediaSource software). How do I play all of these songs on my computer speakers?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Creative MediaSource - AudioSync Lo

I have a Nomad Jukebox 3 and recently got a new computer and installed Creative MediaSource version 2.03.29 on it. On my old computer this application had an essential feature called 'AudioSync' which would keep the music on my computer in sync with the music on my Jukebox. Now I have installed it on my new computer this feature seems to have dissappeared although it says it should exist for this version of CMS. Can anyone advise me please?
I seem to remember it having a tab under 'settings'?

Thanks for replying but it doesn't help me...
Firstly the disk that comes with JB3 only has Playcenter 3 and Creative FileManager. It doesn't come with MediaSource. And secondly have a look below at what I have installed - it clearly states "provides AudioSync 2"...

Creative MediaSource Go! software updat

I've scanned the postings and can't find an answer to this. How do I update Creative MediaSource Go! to a newer version? I was viewing the other updates available for my system, I saw that the CMS Go! version needed to be 3.0 or newer. I have .0.26.0 and SB Audigy 2, which came with my Dell in 2004. After I updated the driver about 2 weeks ago, everything seems to be working fine, but if there is a way to update CMS Go!, I can't find it.
With all the problems people seem to be having with SB lately, I'm reluctant to fix something that currently isn't broken, but I'm thinking about the future. If I don't update what might need updating, will I be abandoned at a later date?
Thanks.

Creative Mediasource Player quest

Does Creative Mediasource 2 (v2.02.06) for Audigy 2ZS support international characters? Or is there a way to make it support them?
I have some greek songs in my Music Library and Mediasource does't recognize them, it simply writes ? instead of the filename. WMP 0 recognizes both filenames and TAGs written in greek.


I shall describe the steps for English WinXP. It should not be difficult to find the equivalence if your WinXP is non-English.
Go to Control Panel. Select "Date, Time, Language, and Regional Options". Select "Regional and Language Options". Select the Advanced setting page. Under "Language for non-Unicode programs", select the desired language. (In your case, it is Greek.)

Creative MediaSource version 3.00

Where in loving hell do I find this update so that I can update to the latest. I just redid my system and have what must be an old Audigy 2 ZS driver disk because I have Media Source Go! Version 2.00.06 or something like that and I need to update to the latest one posted on Creatives site. Please tell me Im missing something obvious here because If I have to download the ISO that some guy posted on some flea bag website just so I can get this piece of software then Creative can go **bleep** themselves. I appreciate that this fellow did this for the folks here but if this is infact the only way to get this older driver thats ridiculous. Ive been 5 hours looking all over the Creative site and web for this **bleep** update. I cant believe its not offered here...in this day and age and with the $$$ creative has made over the years there is no WAY it can be like this. I must have missed something. Someone please help me and point me in the right direction
Emerson

I have this : Media Source Go! Version 2.00.06
I need this : Media Source Go! Version 3.00.6
So I can goto this : Creative MediaSource Go! 3.0.5
I cant make it any simpler than that. As for the language, I have been looking for this software for going on 5 hours now since I redid my system. I have NEVER had a problem getting the drivers/software updates from ANY decent conpany before and I hope that is not whats happening now. Its going on 4am here, Im tired and **bleep** grumpy. The time i've wasted on a what should have been a SIMPLE sound card install borders on criminal.
Wating for your reply...
