Having trouble with Logitech Precision PC Headset -- No sound is recorded by mic

The headset/mic combo is Logitech Precision PC Headset, soundcard is SoundBlaster Li've! 5., DR Release .3.0. Drivers are up to date, and I've tried different headsets by no sound recording or sound heard. The application I've used to test this has been Teamspeak, and it is also the latest release version. I've been browsing about, and have seen that my problem doesn't seem to be an isolated one (microphone not recording/recognizing sound or poor tiny/static filled sound). So I'm hoping that someone hear can give me some advice as how to fix it (assuming it is a simple configuration issue, of course). Oh, and one other thing -- very new when it comes to messing around with the sound card and application, so please explain anything fully -- for instance, I've seen answers telling folks to mess around with their mixer settings, and I haven't a clue what they're talking about. If you require any additional info, I'll be more than happy to provide it, and thanks in advance. -Nick

Yes, I'm having a similar problem. I have a Logitech Gaming Headset, which does not work. I have Logitech Z-230 speakers and a Li've! 24 Bit SB card. I plug the red plug in the red slot and the green plug in the green slot. I can hear okay, but it doesn't record sound. I turned everything on my "Sounds and Audio Devices" in my Control Panel to my sound card and turned all the volumes up. And yet it still doesn't work. I've tried the headset on my phone and it works, so it's not broken. Any ideas?

Creative SoundBlaster X-Fi Fatal1ty FPS - Major Problem - RMA Ti

hello. i have been having major problems with my Creative SoundBlaster X-Fi Fatalty soundcard.i have had it since march 2007 and was fine for a couple of months, very pleased with it.?but it has now got to the stage where it will not boot my pc if the card is installed.i have done my best to see it working again. but one moment it will work.?next moment i will turn my pc on. the pc will not post/boot so i have to take the soundcard out in order for the pc to actually boot into windows. i have sent in a RMA request from ebuyer.?but im quite sad that the card is very poorly designed via the pins on the back that connects to the internal dri've bay addon. i believe that the pins are causing the card to not boot the pc. as its very easy for the pins to get bent.?i would love to know if anyone else had or is having a simular problem with this card?i have been looking for a replacement now. and after searching for awhile it would seem they released a Auzentech X-Fi Prelude 7. Sound Card but after checking the card it looks like they still have the poorly designed pins on the back of the card again... [color="#ff0000"]should i wait for a upgrade... [color="#ff0000"]or buy the Auzentech X-Fi Prelude 7. Sound Card?as the card i originaly own is now discontinued from ebuyer. regards, Cezare

Logitech z5500 and creative soundblaster l

Hi All?I have had the creative soundblaster li've for sometime and jsut decided to buy a set of 5. thx speakers. After alot of reading i decided to go for the logitech z5500 as they apealed to me the most. But i have one problem I am using the triple audio stereo cable to connect the speakers to my soundcard, when i perform a test through the creative software it only detects the left and right speakers. Is there something im doing wrong here cause it would be nice when performing a test that all speakers are detected. But the sound seems to be there and sounds good?Hope someone can help!!

Yeah, cant anyone answer this. I have the exact same problem here(except I am using Audigy 2 ZS). I reinstalled the drivers and software 3 times, still, same. As a matter of fact, ever since I updated the drivers, the sound quality has gone down.....How is it that Winamp would be able to send sound to all my speakers yet, the utility for the card wouldn't ? Makes no sense at all !! Anyone wants to try to make sense of this.
Thank you.Message Edited by phild on -23-200604:7 PM

My?IR Recei'ver and?Remote have become more of a paper weight because of this. (NO MATTER WHAT DRIVERS I USE) and i tried them all everything is updated to the latest version and i mean EVERYTHING!?its realy sad that Creative says they say support these products but yet when you donload there drivers they sease to work correctly or fully like they should... What i've found!... IT IS THERE DRIVERS or?LACK Of somthing its not installing CODECS or a Needed DRIVER that is required for EAX and in some cases for 5. to work correctly. how i found this out. I installed placed my old card back in the system because i was tired of not having these features. OLD CARD: C-Media 9738? 5. PCI audio card with EAX .0this card installed the drivers for me that allowed me to use EAX and 5. after i installed this card i then removed the card with out uninstalling the drivers then suck in the Creative Soundbaster Audigy 4 card and installed its drivers and BAMMMM! i had 5. - 7. and MY EAX 2.0 back on my games?CREATIVE PLEASE FIX YOUR PROBLEMS! i know im not the only one with this problem as i've seen this post millions of times and i've had friends that no longer use your product due to pore Service and Support.. also to noteCreative does not Fully support Windows xp x64 its just compatable with x64 as i am now runing XP x64 and i had to do the same thing that i had to previously do to get this card working correclty... now i know this most likely will not be replied by a actual Creative team member just a forum admin or a fellow forum user. i just felt like venting my rage against creative. a once great company falling into the black hole of failer due to pore customer support... wish it wasing that way but some times you cant hid the truth. much like my gramer and spelling. but o well?I can just hope that creative software designers get wind of this and look into this problem and are able to fix this in hopes to shead the light on this problem and why i have to take the previous steps stated above to fix it every time i've had reinstall or for those people wondering why there product isnt working like it should. i know the hardware isnt defecti've other wise it wouldnt be working now that i've done all those things i've stated. im not stating creatives products are all bad just Support and Service keep us up to date Creative PLEASE!

Regards, since salio the new drivers eh treated of installing it without success since it gives mistake, I imagine that I have to desintalar " SB Audigy Series Support Pack 5.0 (05/01/2014) " and to do everything from zero? But I want to know if new drivers improves the sound these or those of the packaging are better?

Creative SoundBlaster Live! 5.1 Digital driver update - wont wo

Hello I've had this problem for as long as I can remember. I have already searched the forum in hope that I would find a solution. I didn't.
Ok, this is how it is. About two years ago I bought computer parts which I assembled together and "Creative SoundBlaster Li've! 5. Digital RETAIL PCI" was one of them.
I have tried every single driver you have under your support page and none of them will work! I always get the message:
"Setup could not detect any Sound Blaster Audio card on your system.
Please ensure that your Sound Blaster hardware is properly installed before running this Setup program.
Setup will now exit."
Right. All drivers gives me this. I know that you guys will probably ask after the serial number now but I'm too lazy to check at the very moment and I know that the serial check will be a SB Li've! 5. digital card anyway so I don't see how that would solve this issue you are having with your, sorry to say this, outdated installs.
The card is installed correctly in the device manager as "Creative SB Li've! series". And how come I can install it from the CD but not from your internet drivers?
I'm using Windows 2000 Professional with service pack 4 by the way.
Is there a chance these installs wont work with latest service packs, that they were designed for earlier service packs and Microsoft maybe changed the way to detect hardware in later service packs?
I'd appreciate any help I can get because I really need to update my drivers, I got a small sound problem now it seems (soundeffects volume goes down and there is a bit of distortion when it's too many of the same sound playing - or when a soundeffect is to loud).
Thanks for a great card in general, I'm going to buy (I don't remember the name now) one of those new cards later on - that is suposed to be over 4 times better than the previous soundblaster cards? .

Hmm, the install extracts files but not in the current directory or in windows temp. How would I extract the content from the install file so I can patch it's
EDIT: I extracted it with winrar and I got the following files:
data.cab
data.hdr
data2.cab
Diagnose.cab
disk.id
Driver.cab
ikernel.ex_
layout.bin
PC3.cab
Setup.exe
Setup.ini
setup.inx
Wstudio.cab
I know there should have been some sort of audio folder here but I didn't find any, so I tried the program and it said patch applied and all that. I try to run setup.exe and it will still not work. Probably because I'm doing it all wrong :P.Message Edited by Ice_ on 06-5-2006 04: AM
EDIT2: Ok I got several driver files so I just extracted "Li'veDrvUni-Pack(ENG).exe" to C:\sb\ and ran the tool as you described. I could launch the install without problems. By the way, Li'veDrvUni-Pack(ENG).exe is containing the latest drivers as well right? So I dont need to do this with "Li'veDrvPack_Patch.exe" as well?
Thanks!Message Edited by Ice_ on 06-5-2006 04:5 AM

Soundblaster LIVE 5.1 and Logitech X-

This might sound terrible and make me look like an idiot, but I'll ask the questions any since I'm new to this.
I have Windows 2000 and a SoundBlaster Li've 5. card with Logitech X-530 speakers. I have a few questions to get the most out of the speakers.
I have PowerDVD 6. I know how to get the surround sound to work. I just have a question on settings. I go to the audio section and have the 6 speaker selection setup. There are three settings to choose from for the Output Mode. "No Effect", "CLMEI-2" and "Dobly Pro Logic IIx". What is the difference between these? Which is best?
I've tried these out on various DVDs. When I put a DVD with Dolby Surround. When I select either the CLMEI-2 or Dolby Pro Logic I get the same result, center channel being used for dialogue and music from the other. Only with CLMEI I get the dialogue out of all the front speakers and it's a little louder.
Also when I put in a movie with Dolby 5. I get only the CLMEI and No Effect choices. Which is right to use for full Dolby 5. Sorry if these questions sound real stupid.
Lastly, how do you set a subwoofer. Right now I have it at the lowest setting. Sometimes it feels like it need to be turned way up and sometimes like it should be turned down. If I have the knob a third way around I gotta turn it down as I turn the volume down. But then suddenly it drops to where it sounds terrible. I know it's just me because sometimes it sounds just right.

:smileytongue: Apparently windows vista was designed from the ground up (ie: the operating system was a new & independent project). I don't know about you but as far as I can thell windows vista is in a league of its own. One guy on c/net was complaining cause he'd lost 2 mobos?& a third was on its way: post "read is vista blowing up my mobo?".
Do you have an HCL (hardware compatibility list) you can refer to?

Creative Soundblaster Live 5.1 (SB02

Hello, I just re-installed windows XP from the scratch, and now my sound card wont work. I've tried to install the correct driver, but Windows won't even recognize that I've plugged in the card. And when I try to automatically find the correct driver, it states that it cant find any. I am sure that the card is working, because it worked perfect before I re-installed windows.

If I've forgotten anything here, please tell me and I will look it up.
I also checked the HP site (the manufacturer of my motherboard) for a BIOS update, did that too. Also, somewhere else on this site there's a post about IRQ's, and how to fix those errors, and I tried that, but I cant find most of the things, like the 'Assign IRQ to USB', 'USB Legacy Support' and 'USB Keyboard Support'.
That would be

there.
I also tried uninstalling the device, and then re-install, but that didnt work either.
In the devices manager, it states, under other devices, that my Multimedia Audio Controller isnt working, as is my PCI Input Device (they have a yellow questionmark next to them). I've tried to install those drivers countless times, but it cant find any of the drivers, and uninstalling doesnt work either.
(This device is not configured correctly. (Code ))
I'd appreciate it very much if you could help me with this. I've been thinking of buying a new soundcard, but I listened to music this morning, and I cant imagine that it would break down so fast. I've been trying to find a solution for 7 hours now, and still nothing, nothing on the internet at all about this has worked for me. Its a good card too, so I dont want to get a new one
Thanks in advance

Well, the thing is, I bought my pc second-hand, and I never got any cd's for drivers with it.

But like I said in my previous post, now that I have found the driver (not on the creative site but on a driver-site), its working fine again. Just a little disappointed that I couldnt find the driver on your website

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.

The driver on the Dell site is: Creative Labs SoundBlaster Audigy 2 ZS: R92022.exe Thanks! Tony.
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).

Creative SoundBlaster Audigy Advanced MB software activation probl

Hello!?I bought?a software named Creative SoundBlaster Audigy Advanced MB, when I ordered my notebook Inspiron 720 from DELL, on the 8th? of September, 2007. They provided a CD for the software, which I installed, and it worked. But then later that day (when I recieved the laptop), I formatted the hard-disk for the following reasons - ) It only had 2 partitions for the entire dri've, one of which was a recovery partition, and I wanted to create more.2) I wanted to remove MediaDirect.3) I wanted to remove bloatware that DELL gave me with it, ie, DELL Quickset, DELL Support, DELL this, DELL that, Norton AntiVirus etc.4) I wanted Vista installed by my way. After I had done everything I wanted, I started to re-install the Creative software, the same way like I did before. But this time, when it took me to the transaction page and asked me for the reason of re-installing this software, it said "The CD Key has expired."?I have tried 2 different browsers,?I have cleared my cache, I have penta-checked my CD-Key before each install and have done anything a Computer Software engineer (me) would do, with the help of the Internet as well. But my every effort went in vain. Then, I did something I didn't want to do, I contact DELL technical support. Their solutions ranged from installing the latest drivers (yes, drivers for a software), to removing and re-installing the latest Internet Explorer (yes, they asked me to REMOVE IE) to put the HARDWARE in some other machine. Quite clearly, the 4 support executi'ves I talked to there at DELL had no clue as to what is going on and what is the problem. Then, after a 2 hours chat with another one of them, I was told that they just provide the software, and it is Creative's duty to handle everything later and asked me to talk to you. The email support page do not have the option of support for this software, so I selected some other product but sent my problem.
It would be very nice to know if there exists a solution to this problem, and how should I approach it. It has only been 20 days since I bought this software. Thank you!

Finally, I got a reply from the email team, and they sought some further information, which I duly provided. Then, they provided me with a new CD Key. But here is the thing, they say after 3 times of re-installing the software, I will have to pay for it. What?Why would I pay for something which I bought, again and again? The whole world knows about Windows Vista, how incompatible it is with more than 80% of the software, and it will be the same till SP is released. I have since this Sunday gone have re-installed vista 4 times, once due to the fact that AHCI in the BIOS was not enabled by default, and I had to re-do the installation, then it was SATA drivers not presentonthe Vists disk, then the nVidia drivers had problem with Vista and it crippled it and won't go and then the Windows Media Player , quite clearly still not fully functionable, made my system bust. And I can say that it will happen again, so why do I have to pay some part of the software's price again? I am not using it on any other machine, and that is checked by it's CRC checker anyways, I am not using it for any business project, which shouldn't be a problem even if I did, as I own it. If any of you guys have an answer to this, please let me know.
Thank you, and have a very nice day all!

MSI x58 PRO-E SLI+Creative X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Pro

Im thinking of buying a Creative X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Pro for some better sound, problem is that I cant see if this is gonna fit in the top PCI-E slot because of the cooling block there.
Does anyone know if this will fit or not?
here is a pic of my current setup:
http://twitpic.com/1zvxnz

You asked if it would fit the other slot and I said it would, if the heatsink does in fact prevent you from using that slot then you can use any other available PCIe slot. A 1x PCIe card will work in any PCIe slot no matter what size the slot is.
I took a look at the pictures shot from an angle at MSI website and it does look as if it may not fit there. I also noticed that on the 1156 MB that the same HS on them have very short fins in line with that slot, makes me wonder why the 1366 MB HS is not like that.
I assume you don't have or can't borrow a card from family or friend to just test for fit in that slot?

Creative Zen Plus & Creative Soundblaster Audigy 4. Can the two be linked in any w

Hello and good morning. I've an extensi've collection of music consisting of 35,000 tracks which I play through my Creative Soundblaster Audigy 4 via my hi fi system. In order to access these tracks when using the Creative Zen Plus, I notice it calls up only the file name which is a time consuming effort to get tracks transferred. To your knowledge,is there a way to use the Creative Soundblaster to 'drag and drop' individual tracks straight into the Creative Zen using the 'burn now' facility?
Any help and assistance would be highly appreciated. Thank you very much indeed for your help.
Alan L.

Didn't your soundcard come with MediaSource? If so, you can transfer the tracks that have already been converted to MP3 or WMV format directly to your player. MediaSource also displays the content by ID3 Tag titles once they've been entered into the Music Library.

KT4 MS-6590 1.4 BIOS and creative soundblaster

I updated the BIOS of the MSI 6590 motherboard from 1.3 version to 1.4 version. This adds the "CPU Halt Command Detection" item in BIOS Setup. I activate it and the CPU temp goes down when it is idle. Perfect..
BUT now the creative soundblaster audigy 2 ex is making noises and crackles when using audio in ASIO mode. If I deactivate the CPU halt detection in the BIOS everything goes ok as before. with some more CPU degrees but sounds good. so it's a very easy and detected problem.
to MSI support team look if it's possible to fix this CPU halt detection... (or maybe new drivers from creative can fix it also... )

Thermalright SK6, SLK800, SLK900; Swiftech MCX*; Zalman CNPS6000-Cu; Alpha Pal8045T - and these are some of the best air cooling solution and most important *QUIET*
54*C idle was? Is a lot if you say is also noisy. I have a Speeze RaptorCool @2163RPM super quiet and a 12cm intank fan @ 1600RPM also quiet and I get no more than 52*C full load. And here is summer, with 30-35*C room ambient.
Those I've mentioned are rather expensive, 40-50$, you can find something cheaper (mine is 7.5$!!!). Water cooling is too expensive, more than 100$, a good one is 250-300$. So you should stick with air cooling.
*EDIT* I forgot, some of them don't come with a fan, that you can aquire separatly, Y-Tech are good, stay out of Delta 'cause are the loudest
