Creative SB Audigy 2 ZS for Notebooks - Headphones and Speakers wont play at the same ti

Prior to restoring my compter I could play audio through the headphone port and the suround port connected to my speakers. Now after restoring my computer and reloading the software and drivers my suround sound mutes when i plug a line in to the headphone port. The reason I do this is because i have have a really nice old stero that has a better bass than my 4. computer speakers. How can I get audio to play through both outputs?

More than possible. Start with plugging the headphones into the front out jack and the speakers in the rear out. Then it is just a matter of changing the speaker settings and a change in CMSS. When using the headphones set it to headphones, and when you want to use the speakers set it to 4., and in the CMSS settings adjust the fron/rear balance to all rear.

  • Want my Headphones and Speakers to work at the same t

    Hiya. I have an Audigy 2 ZS. I can't figure out how to get my headphones and speakers working simultaneously. I'm sure i used to be able to rig it up like that. Now i can't figure out how i used to do it. I don't have a splitter of any kind. I have the option "Mute speakers when headphone jack is detected" unchecked. One thing i do remember is that i used to have to turn up my speakers real loud so i could hear stuff from my computer, louder than should of been needed. Hope someone can help, thanks.

    Both stereo?
    Same source (same music out from both):
    - speakers to Front L/R, Headphones to Rear L/R (or vice versa)
    - speakers set to 4/4.
    (- CMSS to Stereo Surround (if not already working w/ above settings))
    Diri'ver modes on software:
    DirectSound and MME - channels /2 (this is default),
    WDM(/KS) (and Asio4All) - channels 3/4
    ASIO --> Wave R/L
    Different sources (one player outputs through Front L/R, the other through Rear L/R):
    - speakers to Front L/R, Headphones to Rear L/R (or vice versa)
    - speakers 4/4.
    - CMSS disabled
    - software that allows free output channel selection for second source (like NI Traktor BeatportPlayer, Foobar2000, etc.)
    - your current player outputs through "Front L/R", the other player is set to output through "Rear L/R"
    Driver modes:
    WDM(/KS) (and Asio4All) - channels /2 or 7/6 = Front L/R, 5/6 = Rear L/R
    ASIO - outputs 2/3 Front L/R, 4/5 Rear L/R
    NOTE:
    Above settings works w/ Audigy 2 (6. card). If not w/ Zs, it's quite easy to find those settings which works for it.

  • Is it possible for my phone and my Nano to share the same bluetooth device?  If so, does the music stop when receiving a phonecall?

    This might be a totally dumb Q, but I am so tech challenged it is pitiful.  Is it possible for my phone and my Nano to share the same bluetooth device?  If so, does the music stop on the Nano when receiving a phonecall? 

    No, the BT protocol does not allow for an A2DP device to be simultaneously connected to two iOS devices.

  • How come the same apps that are available for my iPhone and my iPad are not the same as the apps in the app store on my mac

    I want some of the same apps available on my iphone and ipad2 to be available on my macbook pro app store and to be able to link them through icloud. Is this not possible? If not, why not?

    The Mac uses Mac OS X and iDevices use iOS. These are two different operating systems and the apps must be written for each operating system specifically, even when the apps go by the same name, such as the iWork apps, they are two ifferent versions of the same app for the two different platforms.
    So, as an example, Safari has been written for three different operating systems, Mac OS X, iOS and Windows. And the Safari apps, as similar as they are visually, are not interchangeable for the different platforms.

  • Pairing my headphones and heart rate monitor at the same time

    I want to know if I will be able to use my Jaybird Bluetooth headset and my Runtastic heart rate monitor at the same time?

    It shouldn't be a problem. I do it with various BT headsets and a Wahoo HR monitor. You can have multiple BT devices connected to an iPhone at the same time as long as they aren't the same type of device (two speakers, two HR monitors).

  • Photo booth not working correctly/ sound and image wont record at the same time

    Everytime i record a video on my photobooth, the sound doesnt record at all. Either its that, or it does record but it doesnt record accordingly, so the sound is ahead of the video when i play it

    Hi Mark,
    From your example, it looks like you're implementing a JSP application? I'd strongly recommend using interMedia Java Classes for Servlet and JSPs. Using this Java library has many advantages over using the Web Agent. For example, you can write a single, integrated, pure Java application, without the need to manage a separate component, such the Web Agent, to handle the multimedia data. Another advantage over the Web Agent is better support for HTML forms, including textareas, field values greater than 255 characters, and so forth. Its also much easier to provide a better user interface, where text-based and media data can be mixed in one upload form, then validated and processed in a single step.
    The Java class library ship with the Oracle9i 9.0.1 CDs. You can download a copy for use with Oracle8i 8.1.6/8.1.7 from the interMedia software page on OTN. Alongside the software download link, on this same page, you'll also find links to the README and the online Javadoc. In addition, there's also a link to the sample application kit. There's a servlet example and a JSP example, both of which implement a simple photo album application and illustrate how to use interMedia Java Classes for Servlet and JSPs to upload, process (create thumbnails) and retrieve images stored using the interMedia ORDImage type.
    Hope this helps.
    In order to better understand the variety of ways in which our customers are using interMedia, we'd be very interested in knowing a little more about your application, the interMedia functionality that you are using, and how you are developing and deploying your application. If you are able to help us, please send a short email message with some information about your application, together with any comments you may have, to the Oracle interMedia Product Manager, Joe Mauro, at [email protected] Thank you!
    Regards,

  • Apple ID for home sharing and iTunes Store should be the same?

    I've got 2 iTunes Store accounts, my girlfriend has one, and we're just moving in together.
    A few questions ...
    Can I create a 4th 'Apple ID' for our home sharing?
    Would we still be able to listen to each others libraries?
    Would we still be able to copy songs from one another, like I can with my 1 account between computers?
    Are there any other downsides to creating a separate account for home sharing?
    Thanks for your help.

  • Lenovo G500 TouchPad and Keyboard wont function at the same time

    Lenovo Laptop G500
    Windows 8
    Synaptics TouchPad V7.5
    Driver Version 16.3.13.3
        The Synaptics TouchPad and the keyboard won't function simultaneously. If I uninstall the driver for the TouchPad the keyboard and TouchPad will work simultaneously on the windows driver however the TouchPad is very limited. There is no option to turn off the palm touch listed as a fix in other forum post.
        This problem makes it impossible to play games that require the TouchPad and mouse to work simultaneously I would appreciate any help in resolving this issue. 
    Thanks in advance Dennis

    hi djdishaw,
    Welcome to the Forums.
    Can you try to:
    1. Lower the palm tracking and touch sensitivity to minimum, apply the changes and observe.
    - Link to picture
    2. If same problem,  try to update the Synaptics Touchpad driver to v16.3.15.1 and repeat Step 1.

  • I just downloaded the most recent version of itunes and I bout songs and they wont play all the way

    When I went to play the songs it gets 40-50 seconds into it the abrubtly stops and switches to the next song. If its any help it was the "Get scraped" album by deadmau5

    try going into your purchased file on the left side of iTunes, and play it from there. you can delete the purchased song if it doesn't play, and re-download it as well. just be sure to toss it, and library files into trash, then re-download from your purchased file.

  • Previously downloaded albums and playlists wont play

    Previously downloaded albums and playlists wont play.  The only music that will play are those listed as "Recently Added".  When I attempt to play any other music, I get the error message "The song could not be used because the original file could not be found."  I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes.  Any suggestions?

    It is very possible that you have transferred icons only. This is a mistake I know I have made.

  • I purchased the Creative Cloud Photography Plan for 9.99 and I cannot gain access to Photoshop, just Lightroom. It worked for night I purchased it and now I cannot open up Photoshop.

    I purchased the Creative Cloud Photography Plan for 9.99 and I can't open up Photoshop.  I had access to it the night I bought it online and now I cannot use it. Will someone help figure this out.  Perhaps I'm an idiot and just missing an obvious step so I apologize for that but, I still NEED HELP!!!

    I have a laptop with a Windows operating system (not lucky enough to have a Mac) and as far the Adobe version, it's the plan for 9.99 that Adobe is offering.   I was under the impression that the Creative Cloud Photography Plan included Photoshop and Lightroom, the latest versions of both, because that's what it said when I purchased it.  I'm sorry my information is too limited or not detailed but, it's a pretty basic concern. I bought something,  it's not working and I want to know why.  Thank you and apologies for sounding rude. Thank you for responding as well.
