DD - yes, DTS - no on audigy platinum

Hello
I have first Audigy Platinum ex. Wanted to use internal DD/DTS decoder. But it works somehow only on 50%. DD decoding is happend, DTS - no. It was under XP, it is now under x64 Vista. When I try to test DTS Audio in Vista (through the sound configuration for SPDIF out), no sound output is happed. For Dolby Digital the sound is there...
What could be the problem? Broken card?

Hi there-
I just finally had the chance to install these drivers and I still have no sound coming out when I connect to the digital out of my Audigy card. Again, Ive verified the Audio console has been changed to SPDIF output and still nothing.
Is there something Im missing here? Are there other settings I need to change / set in Vista to get this working? This is very frustrating that this worked without issue in XP and I really dont want to have to go back to it.
Any help is much appreciated!!

    Try copy those corrupted files and make sure you are using the same certificate and then re-encrypt the copied files and try decrypt them.
    If possible, use the same account as you used for encryption.

  • Audigy Platinum Ex Windows 7 SPDIF IN not working

    Audigy Platinum Ex Windows 7 SPDIF IN not working? I have an old Audigy Platinum Ex that has served me well, until now when I have a new Windows 7 x64 PC (RTM). SPDIF IN no longer works, though everything else does (including SPDIF OUT). I've tried the current and beta drivers for the card, and no difference.
    In Windows Vista x64 I could use ASIO drivers with my M-Audio ProFire 60 while using the Audigy for PC audio. Most often this was for skype, which I would set to use SPDIF IN/OUT which I then connected to the ProFires SPDIF OUT/IN. Using the ProFire mixing tool, I could control which mics and levels went to the Audigy while not interfereing with the ASIO drivers recording the mics. The ProFire also recorded the SPDIF OUT from the Audigy to caputre the person on Skype to their own audio track. This is a podcast producer's heaven, and I miss it!
    If it's a known issue (SPDIF IN / Win 7), I've had this card through 4 PC upgrades and it's served me well enough I don't mind buying new. The Creative Sound Blaster X-fi Elite Pro looks to be the current version of my Ex - are there any Windows 7 issues currently that would stop me from using it in the role above? I will miss the FireWire port, a shame they dropped that.

    Well basically it is possible, and I've found this out. Apparently Dell released a driver or something that allows it to work, but then only if you install a 3rd party modified xp version of the creative suite. I don't remember where I found it, but it was through google... Using some term including x-fi, dts, and vista.... Can't seem to find it now. Anyway, it had a download for the whole creative suite that was modified from the xp version for Vista, however it was buggy as hell, caused driver issues and blue screens, and ended up causing me to have to reinstall Vista altogether again. In other words, it's possible, but I don't recommend it until it's officially supported... Don't know when this will be yet... *crosses fingers*
    Luckily I've got a dual OS system with XP too, and I switch to that when I want to use my Xbox 360... However due to Microsoft also being terrible in that department... I now get entertainment off of its 3 red lights... (For those of you who don't know, 3 red lights = hardware error. Sending into microsoft for repair typically is a 2 month process... I'm still waiting on my prepaid shipping box to arri've and it's been 4 days... Will be a similar wait to get it to them, 4-6 weeks for them to actually repair, and another week or so to get it all shipped back). Although even when the console worked, my dsl modem sometimes cut out when playing on Xbox li've and dropped signals, reported errors, etc.
    What is with the companies producing technology nowadays? I just want to play Gears in 5. on Xbox li've... *cries*Message Edited by Supercoolyo on 07-22-20070:54 AM

  • Replacement for Inspire 5700 + Creative Audigy Platinum

    Hi,
    for many years I have been using a combination of a Creative Audigy Platinum soundcard with a Creative Inspire 5.1 Digital 5700 speaker system. I am very pleased with the quality, compatibility and easy-to-useness of this system. For games and music, I let the soundcard do the decoding and send the bits via digital connection to the Inspire system, which I set to 5.1 DIN. For DVDs, I send everything via SPDIF and let the Inspire do the decoding, either DTS or Dolby digital. Works just perfectly.
    Only problem: if everything works according to the plan, I will move from Europe to the States in two months and stay there for - 3 years. Because desktop computers and probably also my Inspire 5700 system are quite tricky to ship, I decided to buy a laptop here and buy another speaker system by creative after I have a arrived in the states. Full of anticipation I checked this site to choose my future system and ... was struck by shock:
    I couldn't find any system which offered the same features as the Digital 5700! All modern systems lack digital input, leave alone an external decoder and have primitive wire-remotes instead of real remotes! Why has this kind of great system disappeared? Of course you cannot buy the good old 5700 anymore, which leaves me with a great problem of how to organize a system which offers similar quality and features.
    I originally planned to connect my laptop (ASUS A8JS) via S/PDIF to the new inspire 5.1 speaker set, which would then do the job of decoding digital audiostreams coming from DVDs. But well, since the new Inspire sets neither support S/PDIF nor offer external decoding, that idea has been flushed down the toilet
    What do you recommend instead? I guess I will need a USB Sound Blaster in combo with an inspire speaker set. What will provide the same quality to what I had? What are the drawbacks of not having digital connections any more? How can I control sound levels of the subwoofer, center and rearspeakers, if there is no external decoder anymore? Only via software?
    Thank you very much for any advice!

    Thank you very much for your helpful replies! Future looks much brighter now
    Where have you found the Audigy 2 NX? On their webpage, creative only list the USB Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor or the Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit External as USB-solutions. Since I don't need the video editing capability, the Audigy 2 ZS would probably be quite an overkill. Still, the price difference between Audigy ($250) and Life! ($50) is ... drastic! Besides the video stuff and some connections, what else is the Life! solution missing? Does it have poor quality? Is there no real 3D sound, just some kind of upmixing? It's not very clear from the specifications.
    The Logitech Z-5500 Digital looks very promising, too. A consequent improvement of the Inspire D-5700, just by the competition I may go for that one, but probably still need an external soundcard for 3D-sound in games.
    I am not exactly an expert considering connections. So, my laptop will already have digital S/PDIF built into the headphone plug. Just from the look, I'd say this is the same kind of plug which is called "Analog/Digital-Out" on my old Audigy sound card. Now, the logitech system supports digital optical or digital coaxial as source input. Will this work with the S/PDIF headphone out, or would it require the DIN connection you mentionned? Could this be easily solved by buying an adaptor?
    Looking at the picture showing the connections of the SB Life! I again am not clear at all what kind of connections there are (http://us.creative.com/products/prod...Specifications ). Is there anything compatible with the Logitech system? I guess it's no question the Audigy2 ZS is equipped with the required connections.
    So, to summarize my question: could I digitally connect either my laptop or the SB Live! 24-bit external with the Logitech Z-5500, so that the latter would take care of decoding Dolby Digital and DTS sound, while the sound blaster would provide EAX and 3D sound for games?
    I have also seen that Creative Labs still offers an external decoder with a lot of connection possibilities. It's just no longer part of a speaker system, but rather a standalone product: the Creative Decoder DDTS-100 for $30. Together with a good speaker system, this may be an alternative to the logitech solution, in terms of enabling to plug in other devices than just a computer (another thing I really loved about my old system).
    Well, again thank you very much for your advice!

  • 10dB boost for LFE an Audigy Platinum (hard- or software)?

    ; I read that the Audigy Platinums LFE channel?has 0dB less volume then the rest, and is therefore not working correctly on non creative sound systems.
    So how can i give?my LFE signal?a 0dB boost? Any simple hard oder software solutions?

    icke wrote:
    The Teufels Bass controller is at 00%.
    You're probably one of the many folks who like artificially-boosted bass.
    Bass redirection is not the issue, its [sic] turned on..that the LFE signal is to [sic] weak is the problem.
    The bass redirection feature extracts the frequencies below the cutoff frequency from the non-sub channels, reduces them -0dB, mixes them together with the LFE signal obtained from DD/DTS sources, and outputs the mixture from the output jacks as the subwoofer output. This causes the extracted bass and any LFE signal to match without driving the line-level output past 0dB, so that the subwoofer output behaves as a LFE-level output rather than a line-level one. Otherwise any LFE signal above -0dB would get clipped at full line-level settings. Note that basically unless you are listening to a DVD, there is no LFE signal involved, but that the extracted bass is still reduced in volume.
    Back to a external or software solution please.
    If you like cranked bass and treble, use the soundcard's equalizer (or treble/bass controls) to accomplish this. It is best to shape this curve by leaving the "ends" at 0db, reducing the middle frequencies to get what you're after, and just turn up the speaker system to get the loudness you want (settings above 0dB can cause clipping if the soundcard is set up to output line-level).
    Can i get Audigy 2 drivers to work with the audigy ?
    Probably, but I'm not particularly expert on that, and it has nothing to do with your question.

  • Dolby 5.1 with Windows 7 using an Audigy Platinum EX

    Hello.
    Long story short.
    I've mashed together three old PC's to make one reasonably ok one as a media center.
    I have an old MSI motherboard, running an AMD XP 2.GB Chip with .25GB of Ram and an AGP Video card (Soon to be upgraded to an ATI 4850 AGP Card with HDMI out.
    My trusty Audigy Platinum EX has been re used (again!) and after finding some drivers, everything seems to be ok!
    What's the problem you ask?
    I cant seem to get true 5. surround, via the on board optical out (speaker calibration wont play front centre, sub or rear speakers.)
    I'm running the lot through a Creative 5. Inspire speaker system (using the optical input) if i let the Inspire system sort out the sound, I can get surround, but only if i switch on the 5. manually, and like I said, it won't play via the speaker test in windows or the creative consul on screen.
    Am I missing something real simple, or is this an issue anyone else has had dealings with?
    Also (as if that weren't enough) there doesn't seem to be any support for the EAX and ESS systems, and I cant use the remote control that came with the Platinum EX.
    If anyone can offer any sugestions, I'd be most grateful.
    With Thanks.

    - There is no sound in games with OpenAL support or using Creative ALchemy
    Disable Advanced EQ and Special FX selecting ?No effects? before running the game or program.
    - Equalizer settings are lost
    It happens after you run a game with OpenAL support or using Creative ALchemy. This issue also occurs in Windows XP, so it is not specific to this Windows Vista driver.
    When you restart the computer or run Equalizer, the saved setting is automatically loaded.
    - No sound when CMSS is enabled using Audio Console (4. or more speakers)
    Just move the Stereo Focus slider and set it back to the desired position, even if it is 0 (zero). Once the setting is saved, works properly. This issue does not affect EAX Settings.
    - Windows Vista MIDI Device Configuration Utility
    Use this utility to change the MIDI playback device for 32-bit and 64-bit applications.
    The driver installer automatically selects the first hardware MIDI synthesizer found.
    Note: The Audigy 2 ZS Notebook (PCMCIA) does not have a hardware synthesizer.
    Some screenshots:
    - Equalizer:
    - Stereo Surround:
    - Decoder:
    - Mplayer Classic: select ?SPDIF Out (Creative SB Audigy (WDM))? as the output device of
    your player

  • Install & configure lirc with an audigy platinum

    Hello all the community,
    Actually I try to configure lirc to manage my remote.
    I'm using an audigy platinum 2zs pro, with an rm-1500 remote.
    It worked when I was on debian, I just follow this : http://alexandre.touret.free.fr/dotclea … tinium-pro [fr]
    But actually I can't locate the problem, I first installed with pacman and now this the source, using the livedrive_midi driver in the configure.
    After configure, make & make install I did :
    $ echo -e '\360\000\040\041\141\000\000\000\177\000\367' > /dev/snd/midiC0D1
    # /usr/local/sbin/lircd -d /dev/snd/midiC0D1 -H livedrive_midi
    $ irw
    Irw work but when I push some buttons, nothing append.
    In the log (var/log/lircd) :
    May 10 05:43:15 mars lircd: lircd(livedrive_midi) ready
    May 10 05:43:18 mars lircd: accepted new client on /dev/lircd
    May 10 05:43:27 mars lircd: removed client
    I read, that a led is supposed to turn on when the hub is ready.
    I'm a little bit lost because everything seems to be correct.
    Thx for help.

    Yes when you compile from the source, binary are in the /usr/local.
    In fact I just solved the problem, but I can't explain how. I tried to install lirc with a live cd of kubuntu, and it works, the led of the hub started lighting, after I come back to arch and it works again without any changes.
    A little miracle

  • Headset no longer works with Audigy Platinum dr

    I have a Logitech headset that plugs into the headphone and mic jacks on the Audigy Platinum dri've. On Saturday I had to do some work in my computer, so I disconnected the dri've from the card to get the data cable out of the way.
    This may not be related (I hope not), but I plugged my floppy dri've in wrong and fried the floppy dri've and melted the wire to the PSU. I got a new floppy dri've and PSU. I don't believe the sound card or Platinum dri've were effected because they both work fine otherwise.
    Anyway I no longer get any sound from my headphones when they're plugged into the dri've, but do get sound when they're plugged into the Creative Labs remote control for my speakers. I get no sound from my mic when it's plugged into the mic jack on the Platinum dri've either. I haven't tested it with another jack yet, but assume it'd work.
    I also notice in my Windows mixer, that the option for Line In/Mic 2 is no longer there, either in the main part, or under Recording. Line In/Mic 2 is the mic jack on the Platinum Dri've.
    The Platinum dri've works fine otherwise. I can use the firewire port on it and I know it's receiving power because I can see the red light in the optical connector. To be sure, I went back inside my computer and doublechecked the connections. It IS hooked up properly.
    How can I get the jacks to work again, short of uninstalling/reinstalling the driver? I don't think this is necessary because the sound works otherwise. Thanks all!

    The Audigy dri've works from three different cables. One is the power cable, one is the IEEE394 cable, and the last is the data cable. If the power cable and IEEE394 cables are connected, but the data cable is not fully seated, you will see power from the optical output and the 394 port will work, but the inputs and outputs will not work or be seen by the Windows mixer.
    I would definitely try reseating that data cable. Also make sure that none of the pins are bent. If that doesn't work, you may want to try moving the card to different slots.

  • Creative Audigy Platinum Installation Help with Pentium 4 3.2GHz HT Enab

    :mansad:
    Dear Fellows,I have recently upgraded to a new Pentium 4 machine.

Once I install the operating system (Win XP) and move to the installation of Creative Audigy Platinum Sound card. All the applications are installed and the system hangs while updating *drivers*. I restarted but it corrupts the whole operating system conflicting with Display Driver, Mainboard driver as well as Windows. CD/DVD Rom also disappear. I then reinstalled operating system again. I would like to request for help and solving this issue and I dont want to get rid of Creative Audigy. I have heard complaints with Hyper-threading technology but I disabled it and the same problem occured. I tried everything e.g. latest drivers from Creative website, BIOS updates, Driver updates etc etc. The problem starts once the drivers are to be updated for Creative Audigy Platinum.Anticipating your response soon.Regards,

    Hi Jeremy,
    I would like to thank you for your kind assistance with my problem.
    Heres the good news, I finally managed to install and run my Creative Audigy Platinum perfectly.
    Credit goes to your assitance and support.
    For your info, I would like you to know what I really did.
    I have an Intel Genuine 865GBF mainboard. I installed clean copy of Windows XP (SP) and downloaded and installed latest Chipset INF utility from Intel website. I guess this utility tells the mainboard what kind of hardware is configured on the board.
    Please note that I did not add any PCI card except the AGP graphics card.
    After finishing Windows XP, I installed the Creative Audigy Card in a different PCI slot. When windows started, it detected the sound card installed.
    I simply ran the driver and programs from the Creative CD and it installed perfectly. I then updated the drivers downloaded from the Sound Blaster site in correct order.
    After finishing with Creative Audigy Platinum installation. I installed other hardware devices, service packs, AV and applications.
    Its the third day and everything is running well.
    I just wrote the steps if someone else faces the same problem, he/she can sort it out the same way.
    Thanks again for your help.
    Best regards,

  • Need application software for Audigy Platinum

    I just re-installed my Audigy Platinum card and dri've into an XP SP3 system, downloaded the latest drivers from Creative and it works just fine (ty Creative!). I even used the optical out connection to my Denon 5. AVR and it sounds great.
    However, I don't have any of the application software and can't seem to download that software from the website without having some old application software already installed. Is there a work around?
    I do have the original disk for the following Creative cards (which I also own):
    Sound Blaster 6 PCI (part # 220ML0003020)
    Sound Blaster Li've!? (part # 220ML0003060)
    Sound Blaster AWE64 (part # 73330530-)
    I'm reluctant to try installing any of the applications from these disks in order to enable the appropriate application software to be downloaded/installed off the web, as I don't want to risk messing up the present clean driver installation. I did try putting the disks in the dvd dri've to see if that would enable the download/install process (this has worked with other products) to no avail.
    I would very much like to have the complete set of applications for this still excellent card/dri've so I can enjoy the full functionality of the Audigy Platinum.
    Any and all assistance will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you,
    John W. Wright

    THANK YOU FOR THE ISO!!!
    It worked flawlessly.
    However, I did a messy job of installing it. I had installed the beta drivers before using the iso, and then when I installed the CD and its drivers none of the utilities worked. I then tried uninstalling the utilities but the installation stalled and failed repeatedly. Luckily, I had the option to system restore, but it was on a save point in the middle of installation. So its a pretty sloppy job.
    One thing: when switching between modules (EQ, or volume control, or EAX); there is a 6 second wait.
    Also, EAX reverb does not work well on Soundfonts (very faint reverb, but definetely not sufficient).
    But thank you very much for saving my life.

  • SB Audigy Platinum Microphone Line2/Mic2 settings h

    I have the original SB Audigy Platinum that includes the external bay device. When plugging a headset into the headphone and line2/mic2 connectors, the headphones work and the microphone on the headset does not. I have done some investigation and it appears that the default audio in device is the microphone. I believe that the microphone points to the mic in connector on the PCI soundcard. If I use the Sound Mixer I can manually change the audio in from microphone to line/mic2 and the headset microphone works. However if I stop the using the microphone and then try and use it again I discover that the setting has been changed back to microphone. So everytime we want to use the microphone we must go to the sound mixer and manually make the change. Is there anyway to save the setting line2/mic2 to make it permanent? One of the reasons for having the external bay device to allow the headet to be connected and disconnected without reaching around the back. I am tryng to make this easy for my wife to use (with Skype) without the hassle of the extras ste
    ps.
    Thanks.

    Jeremey, thanks for your reply. This is one of those classic issues where the application folk (like IM clients and Skype) say to ask the SB folk what can be done and you (the SB folk) ask if the application owners can change their applications. So I am exploring options. Gi'ven that we don't use the 'mic in' (mic - microphone) connector on the PCI card, is there any way to reset the Audigy so that the external bay line/mic2 can be recognized as mic or the microphone? Perhaps there's a jumper or soft switch setting? Otherwise, is there anyway at all from the SB side (card, jumpers, drivers, Creative apps) to set the microphone to line2/mic2? Like I say I am looking for ideas from the SB side.
    Thanks again for your reponse.

  • SB Audigy Platinum EX keeps defaulting to 2 speak

    Hi,
    I have a soundblaster audigy platinum EX running under windows XP with a set of 4. speakers.
    I set the speaker setup to 4 speakers in the creative software, and it works fine for a day or 2, and then I find it has defaulted back to 2 speakers. I had exactly the same problem with my previous SB Li've 024 player whilst running on windows XP, although it was perfect under windows98. I am using the latest drivers, but this has made no difference at all. I have heard of other poeple having this problem also, but I have never heard of a solution to it. This is now getting very frustrating, as I purchased the audigy to get around this problem, believing that the real problem was due to the sbli've 024 player not being fully supported under windowsXP, but now I realise that obviously wasnt the reason.
    Any answers or suggestions would be really appreciated.
    thank you

    Search after software called ctpanel.exe from your hard dri've or if you have installed the latest drivers (02.08.00.0004) for your card, there should be a Console application called "Creative Audio Console" bundled w/ the driver installation (though, I don't know if you get it installed for your card).

  • No digital sound after Vista upgrade on Audigy Platinum

    I finally got around to upgrading my Media Center PC from Win XP to Win Vista Ultimate x64. Following the upgrade and after installing the latest official drivers for my Audigy Platinum, I am unable to get any sound when using the digital out on the sound card. I also made sure to change the Audio Console setting to use SPDIF. If I switch to normal line out, it works fine and digital out worked fine on Win XP.
    I tried searching but only came up with threads pertaining to the X-Fi and Audigy 2.
    Is there something else Im missing to get this working in Vista?
    Thanks a bunch!!

    Hi there-
    I just finally had the chance to install these drivers and I still have no sound coming out when I connect to the digital out of my Audigy card. Again, Ive verified the Audio console has been changed to SPDIF output and still nothing.
    Is there something Im missing here? Are there other settings I need to change / set in Vista to get this working? This is very frustrating that this worked without issue in XP and I really dont want to have to go back to it.
    Any help is much appreciated!!

  • Audigy Platinum driv

    Hi all, and a big hello from a beginner in this forum!
    I'm going to download new drivers for my old Audigy Platinum (200), the file name is: sabx_webup_lb_2_08_0004.
    My question is: does it works good?
    One year ago I downloaded a driver from this site and my XP SP2 crashed!!
    Does it worth, anyway? I have no problems with my sound card and I don't know if it is really necessary to update the driver...
    Maybe anyone installed the new driver and had problems?
    Thank you.
