Creative Mediasource Not Work

I have Creative Mediasource 2.x which came with my Soundblaster audio card. It was working fine until I tried to update it over Creatives automatic update. While?it still plays music, it has lost access to all of it's add ons:? graphic equalizer, EAX, surround sound, THX, etc. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall and the same problems exist. I get the error message:? "the audio device supported by this application is not detected". I just want my old capabilities back. Thanks.

It sounds like you are trying to install firmware and not Media Source. You might wan to make sure you downloaded the right thing.Message Edited by FuturePilot on 0-2-2006 09:08 PM

Creative MediaSource not detecting my creative zen to

I'm having trouble with my Creative Zen Touch. In Creative MediaSource, in the sources part on the left hand side, it does not detect my Creative Zen Touch and therefore i cannot transfer music. Any help would be much appreciated. PS when i plug my Creative Zen Touch into the computer using the usb port, the computer detects the device and i have an option to "take no action" or "Transfer files using Windows Media Player".

I am also having this problem, but in order to download from the zen to the pc, I will have to have everything erased off the Zen, and there is an important recording I want to load to my PC first. There is no where in my creative media source since I updated my firmware to load from Zen to PC like there used to be. Any suggestions?
Thank you.

Creative Mediasource not detecting Zen To

Hi
Just reinstalled windows'but can't find my Zen Touch CD anywhere. The only software i ever use is the Creative Mediasource to transfer my MP3's onto the Player.
I went to Creatives Website and downloaded the Mediasource which is there V3.30.2. It looks slightly never than my old version. I also installed the Driver that was on the creative site and that seemed to install ok.However when i plug in my Zen after i start up the Mediasource it does'nt seem to detect the Zen and i can nothing with it. The Zen's definately connected and working ok because when i go into MY COMPUTER it is showing and i can browse the files.
Any idea?
Thanx

Try this, it was in the knowledgebase. I actually had the same problem and this fixed it.

Nomad explorer and creative mediasource not detecting zen touch player. PLEASE HE

Hi, I got a new pc and I was going to install my Zen Touch mp3 player on my new pc but I could'nt find the installation cd so I followed the instructions on here and downloaded all the necessary? software, drivers, plug ins, and followed all the instructions. Once everything was downloaded and installed I plugged my mp3 player into my pc and the noise it makes came up and mtp media player pop up appeared. Windows media player accepts that my zen touch is plugged in but creative media source and nomad explorer is not detecting it's?My os is windows xp, I am using windows media player 9 as I was having trouble with windows media player . Could someone please help me? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

If you've just upgraded to XP, you now have to upgrade your Zen as well as your Mediasource. First you've got to upgrade your Zen Touch firmware to version 2.0.05 or above. Look around on the Creative Support site and you'll find the download without too much trouble. Be warned that the firmware upgrade is permanent, and it will wipe out your Zen hard dri've contents, so say goodbye to all your music unless you want to back it all up to your PC first.
Then you've got to upgrade your Mediasource to v 3.30.2 or higher. Again, you can find the upgrade download on the Creative site. Then you've got to install Zen Touch Media Explorer v .30.04 or higher. Same thing -- easy to locate on the Creative site. Then you should be good to go!?Best,?John

Creative Mediasource not detecting

Downloaded Mediasource 5. Not detecting new Zen 32 GB.

I realize there's probably a specific plugin or driver that I need, but I can't seem to find a working link on the Creative site. Can anyone provide me with a direct link?
Also, I have a Creative NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra from back in the day - with the old Mediasource software. Is there a way to get both Zens to work with one Mediasource so that I only have to keep one version on my PC. Thanks?
Also, anyone have any thoughts on how they like working the Zen with Windows Media Player. Would you recommend switching to that instead of Mediasource? I've been pretty happy with Mediasource (except for the fact that it doesn't recognize "The" the way itunes does).

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.

Creative MediaSource Organiser not responding ¡HEL

Hello,
I have a Muvo v00 for a long time now, and it works great, but some time ago I installed the Creative MediaSource. It was working great for some days (really good for transfering the music from my computer to the Muvo, etc) and then one day it suddenly stopped working: when I started the Creative MediaSource Organiser, and imported files, I got an error window saying that the program encountered an error and had to be restarted. Since then I cannot use the MediaSource Organiser, although the normal MediaSource Player is working (one song at a time). Could anyone please help me solve the problem with the Organiser?
Thank you very much!

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.

My music does not play in Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer

? In Creative MediaSource Player my music library is listed, but when I try to play a song (on the computer- not my ZEN Micro) I get an X and it doesn't play. The music is fine on my Micro. It seems there is a problem with the software, but I don't want to have to reload all my songs again. Any suggestions?

C? Pattym9
I see what is happening now.
Media sniffer will only find new items(those in your kids folders) and ones where the links have been
changed .i.e.items which you may have moved between files on your computer.
You have obviously deleted files from the creative software as instructed but they remain intact on
your PC. Therefore if you import them all again into the creative media source programme I guess
all will be ok.Unfortunately when you cleared items from the creative programme hopefully you did
not tick the box delete from computer as well. If you did and have not made cd/dvd backups of these files
you will have to rip cd's/download music files back onto your computer.Quite a long job for 500 songs.
Incidentally you can set media sniffer to only check the folders you want it to rather than all folders
but I won't go into that at this time unless you wish to know.
Best Wishes

Error message "Could not load TimeScale Filter" on Creative MediaSourc

Whenever I attempt to listen to a playlist, I get an error message. The message title is: Creative MediaSource\Playback Queue. The text of the message is:? Exception -- Create object: Exception: Object Not Found from: CTimeScaleFilter Message:"Could not load TimeScale Filter" At: Monday, March 03, 2008 9:3:29 PM. (Very informati've!)? What is the TimeScaleFilter and where can I find it's? This message pops up at the beginning of every playlist. I have to click on the "OK" button several times before the message disappears, and the list starts to play. Then, when the next song starts, the error message pops up again, which makes the player basically useless. Thanks in advance to anyone who knows what the problem is and can help me fix it. Oh how I wish I still had my Musicmatch program. Thanks to Yahoo, Musicmatch no longer exists. I hope that Yahoo suffers the same fate; but that's another story.

What is the exact version of your Creative MediaSource 5. Have you tried uninstalling and re-installing your Creative MediaSource 5?

Not sure what Lame is??? does Creative media explorer & Creative mediaSource Oganizer use mp3 LA

I'm thinkin' about movin' over to Lame mp3 encoding, (right now i'm using wma 92) I'm not sure what lame is.
everyone is using mp3 format, so i said to my self "eeeh just forget about wma and join the croud".
so i wanna move over to mp3 format (Lame encoding what ever that is.)
What i wanted to know is, does creative media explorer have mp3 lame encoding?
does creative mediaSource Oganizer have lame encoding also?
what bit rate should i use for mp3 format? (I like it to be good sound quality)
thanks in advance

Message Edited by collegeboy on 05-3-2005 07:45 PM

Collegeboy, you have several threads going on this same subject all of which together give a pretty good picture of lame vs other mp3 encoders vs wma. I know your posts in the past promote wma and that is your choice, but if you want to research this topic, visit HydrogenAudio or head-fi forums and enjoy the postings of the socalled audiophiles and true audio geeks :-)
I know that versions of lame are not all equal and that the latest version 3.96. with the right switches, is about 40% faster than previous versions and is as accurate in keeping as much of the original as it can in its encode.
Fraunhofer (Fraunhofer Institute in Erlangen Germany where they invented mp3 and hold patents) has a couple of major versions. The standard version that packages like Creative and MusicMatch use, is the FHIIs version. There is I think, a Professional Version too but that costs big bucks to license (as opposed I guess to little bucks for IIs) and note lame is free! FHIIS uses a noise reduction scheme to brickwall above 6kHz or something like that number. If you look at Lame encoded music in a frequency analysed mode, using the preset standard or preset extreme switches you can see the Lame encoding follows the original right up to 9kHz and higher and the FHIIs encoding drops off at 6KHz. That much difference is noticeable if you have the right playback equipment.
There was a comment in one of the threads you started on this, that this whole topic could be contentious. Well it is and is so subjecti've too as some folks could never tell the differences, some would never listen to their music so they could tell the difference, some would never listne to compressed music if their life depended on it and the story goes on.
OK with all this?

Creative MediaSource 5 Player does not recognize my Zen

Hello,
I have the Creative MediaSource 5 player and never had this problem before, but now it does not recognize or connect with my Zen V player. I do not know what is going on. Everytime I connect my Zen now I get a window giving me choices of players to use with my Zen and the Creative player is not longer in this list... I have not made any changes.
Help.... Anyone :robotsad:
Thanks,
kanela.

Jezuz,
If you have update the player firmware to the PlayForSure firmware version, you will need to also update your copy of the Media Explorer to the version that can support it. Go back to the download page where you download the firmware and look for "Creative Zen Micro Media Explorer Web Update" and "Creative MediaSource Plugin for PlaysForSure devices (version .00.8)".

Creative MediaSource will not recognize Nomad Zen Xtra 30BG

Creative MediaSource will not recognize Nomad Zen Xtra 30BG? Hello, I am new to this forum and very frustrated, I own?a 30Bg Zen Xtra and all of a sudden MediaSource will not allow the transfer of files. Here are my specs and things I've tried to no avail:

Checking device manage it is recognized as a portable device, however it is not detected in WMP . Changed my USB permissions in the registry, downgraded WMP to version 0 (rebooted when prompted), upgraded the application software (uninstalled version 2.02.06?and rebooted?) upgraded?to version 5.20.23 as well installed the plug in, version 5.0.38, which now gives me and error while installing " setup is unable to detect?a supported product on your system, click retry....." tried the different USB ports on the pc as well as changing the cables.

Do you have the driver installed for the device?You can find that here.http://support.creative.com/download...ale=033&nPage= WMP is for MTP devices which the Xtra is not, There is a firmware update for the device HOWEVER updating to that firmware may just kill the player so I would not advise doing it since you have XP & you will be able to sync using MediaSource. Did you install the Creative Zen & Nomad Jukebox plug-in 5.00.22? Click on Show Details & read them before installing anything.

Zen Micro is NOT detected by Creative MediaSource Organizer or Windows Media Pla

Well, I have read through a good part of the message forum and have found nothing to help my case and I believe, truly believe that I have tried everything!

My Zen Micro is detected by my computer and when plugged in I am prompted by MTP Media Player to
Launch Windows Media Player and synchronize files </LI>
Take no action</LI>

If choose to launch Windows Media Player it does not detect the portable device
If I choose to take no action and launch Creative MediaSource Organizer instead, the device is still not detected.

I have checked my Device Manager and it says that the device is working properly, drivers are installed (this is the most common problem ? but for me this is the part that is working correctly).

When I open the Zen Micro Media Explorer it tells me that the device is not connected. I cannot transfer music files with Windows Media Player or Creative MediaSource because both programs do not detect the Zen Micro.

I should note that the Zen Micro does work properly on another computer in my household.

Can someone please offer suggestions?
Thanks

Ha ha ha! Sucess at last!
I got it working now!
I was missing a step in the second suggestion (link posted by DM) to edit the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\U SB and add "EVERYONE." Plus I didn't reboot right away! I guess that would help too. Sorry forgot to do that.
THANK YOU! The support on this fourm is wonderful! Glad to see the help is here for Creative products.

Creative Mediasource does install, but does not st

I have a Creative Jukebox 0Gb and a MuVu N200 (DAP-FL0008). Together with the MuVu came Creative Mediasource . De software install OK, but when the program is started it fails with:
- Failed to load CTVIDCD.crl, Check that CTVIDCD.DLL is in the directory en - Failed to load CTAUDCD.crl, Check that CTAUDCD.dll is in the directory). and finally- Failed to load source DLL, CTDetect.crl!
Then comes the option to mail this to microsoft. ... (what a help...)
I did this over and again. I completely wiped everthing from Creative from de registry (carefully) and I started over again, but again in vain. In downloaded the latest Mediasource from the Creative website, but this gave the some result....
What the h*ll is going wrong?
I have Windows XP Home SP2 (Dutch), Pentium IV 2800, 52 MB, 200Gb HD
