Creative SB Audigy 2 ZS (Tremor) Sound C

Hey there! Seems like I'm having the same problems that others are when they get a Gateway OEM Audigy...
Gateway doesn't offer any software like Creative does, they just post the drivers? Drivers: 5.2.4.442 ...
I built my own little PC however the Audigy 2 ZS is Gateway OEM? So does that mean I can never get Creative's software? Because this is suppose to be a great card. & I've heard my roommates. But he has everything Installed were I merely have the drivers located --
http://support.gateway.com/support/drivers/getFile.asp?id=9860&dscr=Creative%20SB%20Audigy%20 2%20ZS%20(Tremor)%20Sound%20Card%20Drivers%20%20Re vision:%205.2.4.442&uid=96355720
Now it seems that the only way to get all the cool sound effects is to have everything installed that comes with the Creative Audigy, so I went ahead & tried installing my buddies software seeing that we have the ?same card? but it won?t let me, it keeps stating I don?t have an Audigy in there.
Is there anything I can do? Maybe bypass that evil message? I mean the card is there & it is this company?s product? So shouldn?t we have access to the software?
Please help!
Below are the drivers or what it says in my device manager.
& in my signature you can clearly see my PC?s specs.

Hi!
I appreciate the URL, but that is not what I was looking for.
I have that help files already. Also my unit is not the platinum.
I just have the card, and the picture I need is a closeup of the
rear bracket, so I can see, upside down, exactly what each connector is.
On most sound cards they are colour coded, and IF this one is, it is not visible.
And I have trouble seeing anyway ... OLD eyes LOL!
A few years ago there was an awesome full color, closeup, detailed photograph,
not a drawn picture on the net, somewhere, and I should have saved it then ...
The best laid plans! OH WELL!

Is Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 NX USB sound card compatible with Dell deskt

Im considering buying the Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 NX USB sound card to use with a Dell desktop XPS 40, but recently read a forum message on another page that there was a issue with installing on a Dell Tower but no problems with installing on a laptop
any help is appreciated if there are any compatibility issues with using this sound card on a Dell desktop, Thanks
the main reason I would like to upgrade to this card is so my pc doesnt use the integrated audio which Id like better quality performance with a sound card and also dont want to install a internal card on the system

joaolfb,
Audigy 2 NX will need to be connected with the power adaptor inorder to run. USB will not be enough to sustain the power consumption of the sound card.

Help! Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE 7.1 Sound Card -

Hello. I've just recieved my new soundcard. It is the Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE 7. Sound Card - OEM. (Located here: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...atid=&subcat=)
My motherboard is a Asus A8N SLi se.
Now, I have put it in my motherboard, and just tried to install the drivers. I got an error though. It said "No compatible creative product detected." So I downloaded the drivers off the Creative site, and that did not help either. I disabled the onboard sound in the BIOS, and yet it still did not work. I tried plugging in the soundcard into each of the soundcard ports on my motherboard, and none of them detected the card.
I am sick of using onboard, and would like to get this problem fixed.
Some additional information:
The back audio/microphone ports on my motherboard never worked. I have been using the front sockets on my case. I see cables running from my motherboard to the front of my case. Maybe one of those cables need to go into my soundcard in order for it to work? I'm not sure which though, so I didn't try it, just incase.
Here are some screenshots of what I'm getting. They might help.

Unknown Device in my Device Manager: http://img409.imageshack.us/img409/9924/unknownoj8.jpg
Now, I have no other creative parts in my computer. So this should be the soundcard, right?
Thanks in advanced for any replies.

Does the cable from the MB to the front I/O panel simuliar to this one? I installed a Audigy2 ZS in my other system and connected the black cable with the 0 pin connector to the card to use my front phone/mike jacks. Also in your device manager I see the Realtek AC97 still listed. When I installed the XM card in my 600 I disabled it in the BIOS so the entry does not show up in mine just the SB XF-I is displayed.

Sound blaster audigy 2 zs platinum sound probl

Ok So let me give you the specs on my computer first,?Windows xp home editionAbit IN9 32 MAX Mobo2 Gigs corsair xms ram2 8800ultra sli gpusLogitech?z-5300 SpeakersSound blaster audigy 2 zs platinum sound card2 Samsung 500 gig HD?I dont believe that my problem is the same as is in the crackling sound thread. So here is my dilema. Up untill about 4 days ago everything was working fine with my sound system. I have the Logitech speakershooked up to my audigy 2 zs along with my xbox 360 in the optical in on the front plate. So like i said about 4 days ago i started playing a movie on my computer and i have the ac3 codec installed on my computer with comunity codec pack and i know that you could say that those 2 things could be my problem i know enough to know that that probably isnt. So when i played the movie and when to the ac3 codec and turned on dolby decoding so that i would decode it to all my speakers everything worked fine. Then when i turned on spdif decoding my center speaker?started to crackle so i figured it was just becuase i was useing spdif and dolby decoding at the same time. so i turned that off and then went to go play my xbox 360 in which i have pluged into the optical in part on the front plate. Everything had always worked fine for that i have dolby digital decodeing on for the audigy. So i started to play a game i realized that i center speaker was crackling on there too. So i started to realize that no matter what i did the center speaker was crackling. I even changed out the center and sub stereo jack on the card for the front left and right and then they started to crackle in that spot. So i dont know what the hell is going on. Any help would be greatly appreciated i was thinking of restoring my computer but i dont know whether that is necessary. I also dont want to have to go out and by the x-fi elite pro tomarrow unless I absolutely have to.Message Edited by TasteOfChaos on 0-0-20080:02 PM

I am brand new to this message system but I am so desperate for help I thought I would try it. After reading lots of comments I find that my problem may be more the rule than the exception. I have an Audigy @ Platinum card and all I ever get from it is crackling and popping. I have been around and around with Creative support but nothing they tell me results in a fix. I am so disgusted at this point that I am ready to just trash the whole thing. I have gone through the BIOS and checked so many settings its a shame. Still crackling and popping. I NEED SPECIFIC ANSWERS FROM SOMEBODY...not just the generic flip the wingle wangle to port xyz and move this to that. here has got to be an answer to this maddening problem. The other thing is that now I can't get my MIDI keyboard to play back. I must have turned something off in the set up process but now I have no idea what to do.
If anyone has any solid answers for me PLEASE come forward with them before I kill someone!

Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS - No Sound

$Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS - No SoundP First let me start off by saying I've had this card (Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS) for a few years and it's always done this on my comptuer. It works fine on my parents' Dell. My motherboard is an Asus nI8-SLi. I'm running Microsoft Windows XP Home and meet all of the system requirements for sound card. The piece of junk sound card that was in the computer finally broke down and I would like to see if I can get the Audigy 2 ZS installed.
I've tried installing the card from a fresh reformat, installing the card after reformatting and installing Microsoft Updates and I've tried a number of different drivers. I've also disabled the onboard audio in the BIOS.
When I plug in my headphones it makes the familiar static noise you hear when you plug in headpones. Also, on the cord of my headphones you can mute and change the volume. When I do either of these I hear a bit of static until I stop doing it. However, when it comes to sound: music, games, voice chat, the annoying jingle during the Windows XP welcome screen, there is none.
Please help!

(Re: Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS - No Sound? Try this:
This is a software package created by a user, Daniel K. which includes most all of the software updates as well as the newest or second to newest driver for your card. This will install everything you need to use that card.
Even if you had the original install Cd, this package is better, as it fixes some of the original incompatibilites with the software and includes their newer versions as well.
http://forums.creative.com/t5/Sound-...28/td-p/535299
The package is great. It installs fairly quickly for a package of its size. I have used it myself for quite a while so I know that it works very well.
After installation be sure that you have at least? a two speaker set plugged into the green jack on the back of the card. Sometimes people plug their speakers into the wrong jack and then feel they have no sound for an unknown reason.

Creative Soundblaster Audigy 2 Zs help

Before I start rambling on about my problem here are my specs (BTW I'm not incredibly computer literate; my dad helped me install everything before I left for school):Cpu: Intel Duo Processor 2.66 GhzRAM: .5 GB DDR2Video Card: ATI Radeon 9600 (soon to be one of their newer models)OS: Windows XPSound Card: Creative Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS?Ok so I was reinstalling everything after I had to format my computer. I get through installing my creative sound card and figure everything went great. I was playing my music when I had realized that I forgot to configure my sound card for them, as I was getting mono instead of stereo (was only playing out of left speakers). So I go into speaker setup and click on "calibrate speakers" or something like that. Anyway, the speaker calibrator says that It could not be ran for some reason (i forget). I figure that it wasn't working because I hadn't updated anything yet. I update, and I still get the same message. So I reinstalled the software and updated it again and now when I try to run ANY of my creative software related to the sound card (I.E. EAX console, Speaker Setup) it says that "The Audio device supported by this software is not detected. The Application will now shut down."? Now remember that I'm not great with computers, so my solution now will probably sound stupid. But anyways I figured that I had installed the wrong sound card software (it gives me three choices on the disc). I uninstall everything and choose another setting. I still got the same problem. So I try the third choice and I get the same problem. Any suggestions? I've tried all three choices and I still get the same problem.

Hi
You may first need to patch the driver package by using ctcomp.exe to get std. drivers (eg. not Dell specific) installed to your Dell PC. Search this forum after ctcomp.exe --> there you'll find some instructions too.
You can also find a link to the latest drivers available (I personally use Audigy 4 drivers from november 2005 --> can be found from creative support pages) by searching this forum (I think the latest WHQL version is .~62 for the original version).

Audigy 2 ZS platinum sound distorted and muff

Too bad one cant rant as one might like in this forum. Had writtend all the details that transpired but when i pressed the submit post, my original post was lost due to expiration of time for my ticket.
Now, i use telegraph details.
Bought Audigy 2 ZS platinum, bad sound Distorted and muffled from the speakers except center speaker and no sound at all from rear center speaker. Same setup using Audigy Platinum, zero problems.

Creative Inspire 6600 Speakers/Creative Inspire 5300 Speakers

Fabrizziov,
Is the sound muffled and distorted when you plug headphones into the headphone out on the platinum dri've? If not, plug the headphones into the sound card's front output and run a speaker test to see if it is muffled and distorted from there. If it is then it is most likely a problem with the card's hardware. If this is the case I would suggest exchanging it for another through your retailer. You can also contact support for a repair if needed. Their contact information is at http://us.creative.com/support/custsup.

Audigy 2 ZS notebook sound card compatible with Lenovo X6

I have to admit I probably made a mistake for rushing to?EBAY to get a creative Audigy 2 ZS notebook sound card, which?is intended to be used for my Lenovo X6t tablet pc. The problem is I just did some research and found my PCMCIA driver "RICOH R/RL/5C476(II)" is sitting?on their list of incompatibility.
Do anyone have any experience on this matter? It is true it really will not work?
Please help.

Simple problem... The soundcard is playing a sound appx. second after the sound is actually supposed to play. When I take out the card, everything is fine. Anyone know the fix? Thanks.
Do you mean you can hear the sound even Audigy is not connected? --> if yes, then just disable the onboard sound (from BIOS or/and device manager).
If you're playing some external instrument (etc.) or from some audio/media player then, it's latency question --> try w/ ASIO (you need to cahnge to the advanced mode) latency set around 0ms or decrease buffer size on playback software.

Audigy 2 ZS - popping sound in mce

Hi,
I recently installed windows 7 (32 bit). I set up the speakers in windows media center to use the coax digital output (and 5. speakers) and when I click the button to test the speakers I just hear a clicking/popping sound.
If I set the speakers up for the single RCA analog plug and 5., the test button makes a sound ok but only for 2 channels.
I've installed the most recent driver I could find for audigy 2 zs, which is v 2.8.
Can anyone suggest how to get the speakers working in mce?
Thanks,
Phil

&Re: Audigy 2 ZS - popping sound in mceO No, you're not belittling me at all. There are so many settings applictions that I don't know where to start or even how to find them all. Good tip re the windows/creative control applets.
Setting all the # speakers and bit rates the same in the windows and creative apps didn't seem to help so I tried disabling the spdif output device and now I get all channels in mce. Yay. Thanks for your help.
Seems like the speakers device works but the spdif device does not. My sound card has a 2.5mm digital output port which I connect to the coax digial input on my denon amp with a mono 2.5mm to single rca cable. Is the spdif device supposed to work with this kind of connection?
Also, am I likely to lose anything by using the speaker device instead of the spdif device?
Thanks,
Phil

Creative SB Audigy 2 ZS (WDM)-Picture of rear panel nee

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone has, or knows where I can get a
picture of the back of the Creative SB Audigy 2 ZS (WDM).
The way I have my computer set up, I can not see the connectors
and which one is which.
Also, there are NO colors on the back of my card.
(and I am going to be looking at it upside down) -
I remember seeing a great closeup shot, but that was years ago
I should I saved it back then!
I also would like to know how many external inputs there are on that card,
and are they stereo and/or digital?
Thank you for any help you can give me.
I have been searching for a few weeks to no avail.

Everything seems to be OK so it's propably the drivers for your modem that is causing the issue. Just try if updating them helps anything.
Also, you can turn the MPU-40 (onboard MIDI/Game port) if you dont need it.

Audigy Battlefield 2 BF2 Sound Issue Vista

Hi there,
I upgraded my machine to Windows Vista x64 yesterday. And there is someting that really peeves me. The sound in Battlefield 2 is horrible.....
Explosions, Jets, Arty and stuff.... sounds totally broken/scratchy, like if you turn your speakers as far as it will go... you know.. when it becomes booming and you fear your speakers take damage I think oversteering/overmodulating might be the right word.
I can't believe it... the Audigy card and its sound was superior using Windows XP.
Any suggestions

Soundblaster Audigy (latest official driver)

Hi,
I installed this one:
http://forums.creative.com/creativel...scending&page=
It's way much better then before but not perfect, still a little scratchy. I also installed the latest OpenAL (.) but the .dll's didn't worked when copied to BF2 folder, neither the one from system32 nor the one from syswow64. I found two a wrap_oal.dll, wich obviously comes with the drivers above. The 64bit version worked but I didn't noticed any improvements. So I switched back to BF2's OpenAL dll.
I gonna try the driver you posted later this day. Thank you very much.
