Creative Sound Blaster Live 24bit Onboard au

Hello all,
A few days ago before I reformatted, my audio began to act up. It would all of a sudden quit playing sound period. I thought it was probably my own fault, but after a reformat and a clean installation of sound drivers, it still doesn't work. I have tried everything in my own power to figure this out. The computer recognizes that everything is working properly, but I can't get any sound out of my headphones or speakers. Nothing is muted either.
Any help would be appreciated. Is there any way that I can check to make sure my onboard sound hasn't died on me?

    Have you actually tired it yourself?  I'm wondering if this is a workaround, or will this be the official solution.  I wouldn't mind trying it, but I don't want to mess it up for when the Official driver is released.

  • Sound Blaster Live 24bit External (5.1) Mic-In / Line-In prob

    Hey, here's my setup:
    Virtual DJ Console Edition (3.4. updated)
    Hercules MP3 Console
    Creative Sound Blaster Li've 24bit external (5. card, using it as a 4. to get FRONT out to speakers and REAR as headphone queue)
    I need to broadcast using Shoutcast (the VirtualDJ internal broadcasting plugin wont allow to set up full details that SHOUTcast plugin for Winamp allows you to fill in.... i.e. Yellow pages etc etc)
    The problem is basically that when I'm using SHOUTcast for Winamp, it streams both my FRONT and REAR outputs, can't seem to choose for it to stream only FRONT...
    Now, I know I can send the FRONT to Line-in (and use a stereo Y splitter to get the sound also to my speakers), but then it seems my Sound Blaster li've disables my Mic-In... seems that it has shared Line-In and Mic-In even though they are separate holes in the box....
    so basically wondering if anyones got any suggestions as to how to be able to Broadcast only the FRONT output and use the Microphone... now it seems its either I can't use the Microphone when doing a radio show... or alternati'vely I can't use my headphone queue...
    I don't understand why would the card have a separate Line-In and Mic-In, but you can't use the Mic-In if you have something hooked in the Line-In? Could there be some software or driver update I could get to be able to do this? Or am I just having forced to buy something like an M-Audio card thats exactly the same, but doesnt share the Mic and Line-ins but lets you use both at the same time?
    Thanks for any suggestions! They are most welcome!

    at drivers?
    IF you mean those third part yASIO drivers they limit to 6 bit recording whic hisn't an issue wuth Acid pro, it's the bandwith and asio offset. DO you ahve a link?

    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.

  • Sound Blaster Live 24bit External

    Would a Sound Blaster Li've 24bit External work as a soundcard for my Logitech X-530 5. system? I'm looking for something to upgrade my crappy intergrated soundcard.

    Yes, it will work. It'll wind up setting your USB ports to 6 bit by default, because it's going to be taking alot out of them, but it'll give you some beefy surround sound none the less. On the down side of this external card though, it's giving me a ton of **bleep** about ventrilo and fra

  • Installation CD for Creative Sound Blaster Live 24-bit External SB0490

    Hi,
    I've bought this old external soundcard without the original installation CD, because I thought I can download all needed software here on the creative site. But no, only the drivers and some simple program updates are available :-(. With the creative drivers installed, I only get hacked sound on the digital coax output, SPDIF is also not working correctly. I suppose I have to do some configuration in the creative suite software, but this suite can only be installed from the original installation CD...
    Is here somebody who can tell me where I can download an ISO of this CD or perhaps make an upload of it?
    Kind Regards
    Steven

    HRe: Sound Blaster Li've! 24-bit External (SB0490) choppy background sound? I've been having the same problem with mine. ?At first, all it would take is unplug the laptop end of the USB, wait a second, then plug it back in. ?A sound (incoming mail, reminder, general Windows sound) had to initiate the sound. ?It's almost like a CD skipping, but the sound played has no bearing on the popping sound. ?It's always the same pitch, timing, etc. no matter the sound that caused it.
    I've blue screened a couple of times too over the past couple of weeks. ?I've only been able to catch 'USB' during the blue screen before it reboots, so I don't have a code number to chase down.
    I'm using Windows Vista Premium Edition on a Gateway laptop that's about two years old. ?I'm being lazy, and not looking, but I'm pretty sure it's got a .6GHz DualCore proc, I upped the RAM to 2GB, I had to replace the HDD and I honestly don't recall the brand.
    It's gotten to the point now that even unplugging and then replugging doesn't really affect it anymore. ?I know that I've updated the driver a couple of times. ?The first time Vista whined about it. ?Going to see if there's a more current version, but I don't really have any further help or suggestions.
    Hopefully something will come up.

  • Creative sound blaster live va

    <SPAN class=postbody>so i have a card installed on my pc. 4 speakers sub but when i play audio cds sound only came out of 2 speakers. i tried installing a newer version of the sound blaster softwares but was told to unistall the old ones. when i went through the process again i got an error message saying no audio devices could be found. now i have no sound at all. i tried to unistall / install the card, windows update, directx. i can install the old software again but when i try to get in the properties i get messages that direct sound cannot be launched. nothing seems to work.

    First things first. Most CD's will only play left and right chanel depending on the program you are using to play audio CD's. If you can get your sound cards play control to open and show you the volume controls.
    Usualy double clicking on the speaker down by the clock in the lower right corner.
    If you see front and rear settings is the rear volume control at minimum or maximum?
    Change it as needed if its there.
    In the program you use to play the CD's look in its properties setting and see if there are any front and rear settings. Also do your speakers have a front and rear volume on them?
    Be warned if you change some of these setting your games might be loud from the rear.
    Hope this hel

  • Connecting a mixer to sound blaster: live 24bit externa

    Iv got some dj decks, and wanted to record my mixes to my laptop, so i saw the external sound blaster li've and thought that would do the trick. But it turns out that it is alot more complicated than?i thought. First of all, it took me ato install everythnig without something going wrong, but all the driver (for vista) seem to be ok now. Once installed, i connected a 3.5mm jack into the line in, on the soundblaster, and conncected the other end to my mixer. That all done, i went onto the recording programme that you get with the sb, but here is where it goes wrong the message 'there is no audio device on the system, the application will now close' comes up. Of course this stops me getting onto any of the programmes, and stops me from recording. After this i checked on control panel/device manager, and it said that everything was working correctly, but on another page it says 'cannot find hardware connected' although the blue power light is on. I have now run out of ideas of what to do, so any help would be great.

  • Sound Blaster Live 24bit External - No B

    I am hoping that someone can help me here. I am running Windows Vista Ultimate and have my PC setup purely as a Media Center machine. It has an onboard Intel 5. Sound Card that was producing average sound, but works 00%?I have since installed my Li've 24bit External, I first ran the CD and then realised that it was not Vista software so I downloaded the updated drivers and software. First I removed the old software and then installed the newer version. Now everything seems to work and when I test all the speakers via the?drivers / control panel?they all work - including the sub. When playing anything via Media Center or Media player, I get no bass what so ever. - I have even tried 5. DTS DVDs?I have subsequently plugged the speakers back into the onboard card and the sub works. Any suggestions?Thanks in advance.

    THANKS

    beyondspecs,
    Ensure that 'Digital Output Only' option has not been enabled in Creative Speaker Setting if you are using analog speaker.
    You can test your audio card with a pair of headphones. Unplug your speakers from the sound card, and plug a pair of headphones to the Line-Out jack, and test audio output from your sound card. To complete the test, be sure test each individual Line-Out jacks. Use the application Creative Speaker Setting 'Channel' option to do the test.
