DJ Mixer recieving audigy 2 line-out at very low levels

Hello to everyone on the forum.
I am having a problem hooking up my Numark 5000FX mixer to my audigy 2 soundcard. What I am trying to do is have two 2cm line out to RCA cables from front/rear speaker out on the card to two phono channels on the mixer. The phono inputs are set to line on the mixer.
The mixer is recieving this "line level output" at levels that barely register on the pre fader meters. Meanwhile, I have an old pre-amped philips turntable that I can connect to the mixer the same way and it works fine (peaking at 0dB).
All the levels from the soundcard are at maximum, and the gain on the mixer is at max also.
Does anyone know what could be causing this?
Thanks for your time,
Kim

This may have been the wrong section to post this in, sorry. Maybe if a mod could move it...

  • No signal from audigy 2zs line out j

    Hey there....due to a virus, I recently had to format my dri've and reinstall XP and all my apps including software for my Audigy 2 ZS soundcard. Before the format I had my sound and video card connect to my TV to extend my PC display and audio to my home entertainment system. The external speakers were connected through the line out # jack on the rear of the sound card and I could hear everything playing just fine when my TV was on and the correct video signal line input was selected (video #2 in my case), but now I can't hear anything (video is playing back fine on the TV, just with no sound). I've checked my audio settings and I think they're correct - if there is a mute switch for any of the line out jacks in the creative audigy software or in windows' volume control panel I sure can't find it.
    I'm sure its a settings thing because I didn't touch the cable connections, and I double checked to ensure they are all connected tightly/correctly as they were before the reinstall.
    If anybody has any pointers, man that would be helpful....thanks!

    Yup, my digital speakers are connected through the digital out jack.
    Device manager shows the device working correctly - no issues or exclamation marks.
    Not one ioda of hardware was moved, not one cable unplugged or any other config changed before or after the re-formatting of the hard dri've. Software o/s and applications only.
    The soundblaster card properties in device manager shows no conflicts....everything is working fine, but there is a setting somewhere that is being missed I suspect; I have gone ever every option in all of the soundblaster audigy audio control software installed that came bundled with the card, checked online for latest drivers which I've got installed, and did a clean uninstall/reinstall using creative's 6 step-by-step guide. I also checked all windows xp based audio controls even though I've checked the option that enables the audigy controls to sync with the windows ones as you probably already know.
    To my knowledge, there is no way to disable line out signal from this card - its there, you plug in your external and go. And with no config changes at all, no hardware changes, no cables unplugged etc. I don't know what else to do. (except email creative support which I did a few minutes ago).
    Thanks Katman.

  • Audigy AUD_EXT 'line out' questi

    I found the details for the pin assignments on the AUD_EXT connector for my Audigy card. Using this information I was able to connect an old SP-DIF connector (with optical & coaxial outputs) from an old motherboard to my Audigy, and I'm now using the digital output connector to put sound to my speakers.
    What I'd like to do now is make up a front 3.5mm headphone jack and mount it to my case. However, the instructions here: <A href="]http://dmzweb4.europe.creative.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE/,/?St=72,E=0000000000084728396,K=8924,Sxi=2,Case=obj (3026),Kb=ww_english_add,VARSET=ws:http://uk.europe.creative.com[/url]
    (Creative knowledge base solution ID # 3026) don't specifically list an analogue output. Pins 0, , & 3 are listed as 'general purpose output', but that could mean just about anything. If anyone has any ideas as to which, if any, of the AUD_EXT pins are suitable for left, right, and ground for a 3.5mm stereo jack please let me know.
    Oh, and if there's the possibility of a stereo 'line in' as well, that would be great too.

    You have A/D converter(s) on that dri've bay --> analog signal(s) is converted to digital there --> Audigy card gets signal in digital format from dri've bay.
    For headphone out, there is D/A converter and opamp on dri've bay --> audigy sends signal in digital format to dri've bay and the signal is converted to analg signal there.
    From digi-life's review:
    <i>"It should be noted that, unlike in the Game Theater XP from Hercules, a signal proceeds to the external Audigy Dri've unit and back only in a digital mode. And it is very good! I.e. the external module has its own separate converters! There are 2 Philips chips UDA36T which serve an ADC. The DAC is marked as stereo XWM8728 (compatible with SACD, 24bit/92kHz format) from Wolfson."</i>

  • Line Out 1

    Hello,
    i have the SB Audigy 2 ZS and a Logitech 2. Soundsystem but also a Headset (Phone + Micro) for use when gaming and using voice coms.
    So here is my problem. In my current speakersystem i am only able to plug in the Headphone into an aditional plug, but not the microphone. But for using my Headset when gaming i need the micros also so i have to plug it into the SB Audigy into Line out 2 and the micro into micro. So far so good, but when i select in the audiopreferences / Speakersetup " speakersystem or headphones i only get sound at Line out and Line out 2 is silent.
    If i set the settings to Quadrophonic or 5. etc i get sound at Line Out 2 also but only the soundsignals that should come from behind and not the whole spectrum of sounds deli'vered.
    So is there any way to have both Line Out & 2 give me a signal good for Headphones / 2 Speaker system?
    All other ways i only have Line Out Frontsignal and Line Out 2 rear signal, what doesnt fit realy my needings.

    The soundcard is operating as designed what you need to do is set speakers to 2. and use a splitter connected to line-out .

  • Intermittent noise through line out + AJA Kona

    I have a MacPro Dual Proc 2.66 dual core that's about 18 months old, with an AJA Kona LHe card that I use for film and audio editing. The Kona feeds an SDi input JVC Reference Monitor and the AJA KL interface feeds my Mackie mixer. The Audio line out also goes to the Mackie, so that I can monitor iTunes and Amadeus via AJA or Line out, depending on my process.
    I have started noticing a really low intermittent hum that arrives at the mixer via the AJA KL box or from the analogue out. It is usually not there when I first start working but after an hour or so it starts, each burst lasts about 3-4 secs and is very low, painful to the ears.
    I've tried plugging earphones in to the front socket and there is no hum at all.
    I've tried linking fan activity to the hum without success.
    I have SoundStiks for Desktop audio and there's no hum there either. I prefer to work with headphones when editing so I really want the AJA sound to be clean but can't fathom where the sound is coming from. Any ideas?

    HI I am having the same problem with HUmming sounds coming from my Mackie mixer also. But the sound is constant and wont go away using the ajay card.
    selecting the outputs to Internal speakers, or LINE OUT, or Digital out. the system using headphones I do not hear the humming only when selecting the AJA kona 3 card OUtput..I hear it with headphones and with external speakers.
    When the Mac PRO QuadCore- Intel Xeon 2 x 3Ghz restarts the sound is still there during boot up and even if the system is shutdown.as long as the RCA cables are plugged into Ch1 and CH2 you will hear humming. BUT if you unplug the RCAs from CH1 and CH2 the hum stops.
    I tried using a different wall outlet for power for the Mackie mixer and the external speakers I still had HUM. I tried another rackmounted AJAK3-Box still there was a HUM.
    I am running out of ideas.
    THis card has been in production in our environment for over years now. BUT the system recently was relocated to a new office...
    I think it has something to do with the AC power in this area..
    Is there something wrong with this card? Could there be a driver update? Have you resolved your issue YET?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • "Line-out" volume problem?

    I seem to have a problem with my 2nd Gen Nano's "line-out" volume. I have purchased 3 different FM transmitters to use in my car, and with each one, the volume is so low that it is almost unuseable. So, I bought a $100 direct connect interface so that I can connect the Ipod directly to a "docking cable" that is connected to the back of my car stereo Head Unit (through a little device). Still, the volume is just way too low, even at max volume of the car stereo.
    Any ideas?

    I'm assuming the JB3 works in the same way as my JB, which may or may not be correct.
    I have never seen the message you refer to but there are 2 line-out sockets at the back of the player and a headphone socket at the side. The headphone socket has variable volume but the volume controls only work when headphones are plugged in.
    The line-outs default to a fixed ouptut level - that is what line-outs are, a standard level of output for feeding into an amplifier. In the menus, though, you can set them to variable output so that they work the same as the headphone socket. Again you need something plugged in to the socket you want to adjust the volume on.
    To switch to variable volume press Lib and go to Personalization, Line Out and change the setting.

  • MBP audio line out?

    If I hook my MBP to my external speakers via mini cable connected to the headphone/line out port the volume control on the MBP is still enabled. Is there a way to set the output to line out only? I have a volume control on my speakers, so having two just makes it odd. I always thought line out was a fixed level signal.

    The headphone/line-out port is a combination analog and digital output. If you plug in an analog connector, like your speakers, that's the same as headphones. For line-out, you need to plug in a digital audio connection (e.g. a Toslink cable) - in that case, the volume controls are deactivated (and pressing the F3-F5 keys just gives the prohibitory sign).
    Note that many users have had issues with this, where the headphone port gets stuck in the digital out mode (you can see a red light when you look in there). Search the forums for "red light audio out" to see what I mean.
    Hope this helps...

  • Schedule line on BOM lower level items

    Hi Team,
    I have maintained a manual over ride for Schedule line category on a lower level item of a BOM. In sales order when I try to change the schedule line cat manually I am not able to. In fact the entire line is greyed out.
    The quantities on the main item are confirmed. can you please advise
    Thanks
    Sunny

    We are adding the unit of measure to the pricing access sequence.  If I enter a product that explodes into a lower level item from the bill of material you can only enter the unif of measure on the high level material  and it doesn't copy down to the lower level item and I want them to match.

  • Very Low Volume Output - Audigy 2

    Hi,
    All of a sudden my Audigy 2 ZS card has very low volume. Tried different speakers, tried uninstall/reinstall, tried clean boot of XP, no luck. Also, there is faint crackling when I turn volume up but I believe it's only because speakers are fully cranked and there is hardly any sound coming out.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    I didn't have any place to test the card but I did replace it with another one. Unfortunately, the other card gives the same result - very low volume. I suppose this means there is a problem with the motherboard. Do you agree? Is there any other test I could do that might pinpoint the problem area?
    Yes, I received a "reply" from Creative. It was a form email that said they received my message and would respond (usually) within 24 hours. That is the only message I received from them.

  • Line out on Audigy 2 vs Audigy 2 va

    I?m thinking of changing my Audigy 2 value card for a used ?full? Audigy 2 (model SB0240). First of all, I don't see a "plain" version on www.creative.com . What's it proper name (the card was manufactured in 2002)?
    The thing I first noticed is that when I tried to use my headphones on "plain" version (Sennheiser HD555 50 ohm or Philips SBC HP 20, I think they?re 6 ohm), I get a much much worse/weaker sound than on the value version (value is from 2004, while full version is from 2002). The sound is something similar to listening a pair of headphones with volume to the max, but from one meter distance. Am I doing something wrong, or this is a normal thing? Should I enable some options to get proper strenght from the line-out? Or on this older version line out is used only for that and a proper headphones out is provided only through a dri've bay in platinum version?
    It's a real pitty, since I'm getting this "plain" version real cheap and it's in mint condition, but I upgraded from SoundStorm to Audigy 2 value primarily because of the good line out for headphones... Now I have to return it bc of this and... and I'd like to avoid that

    PS CAn I use any of the programs from the full version CD on Value card?

  • Audio monitoring- external mixer or Mac line-out?

    Is it preferable to monitor audio from FCP through an external mixer (Mackie 1202) or is it OK to simply set output to the Macpro line-out?
    (I notice the Bars and tone peak at -12- which reads as -10 on my mixer.
    For some reason i have always been used to setting my peak at 0 on the mixer
    So I'm confused if i should forget the external mixer all together- and just turn it on for the rare occasion I import analog signal)

    The main reasons for using an external analog mixer like the 1202 are:
    1. if you need a level control for your monitor speakers.
    2. if you have other analog sound sources that you want to mix in with your computer output
    3. if you need to need two headphone outputs for a voiceover session
    For most activities, you don't really need it.
    However, monitoring from your headphone output, whether it goes through
    a mixer or not, is not the best choice for computer audio.
    The best way to monitor your computer's audio is with a Firewire audio
    interface, taking digital out from FCP, and using high-quality converters
    to convert it to analog. Something like this:
    http://www.mackie.com/products/onyx820i/
    The meter on your 1202 is for analog signals. Typically you set those
    levels to be about 0dB on the Mackie's meter, which should correspond
    to +4 dBu on your main analog outputs.
    The meter in FCP is for digital audio. On that meter 0dB represents the
    absolute maximum, with no headroom, so you'll want to keep your levels
    around -12dB, more accurately -12dBFS.
    Since the headphone output is not pro, it would make sense that
    -12dBFS = -10dBu. In other words, your headphone jack's normal
    analog output level is lower than the normal pro audio +4dBu.

  • Audigy 2 ZS | Separate Line out 1 (headphones) and Line out 2 (speakers)?

    Hello,
    I was wondering if it's possible to Setup a 4 speaker setup, having headphones in Line out 1 and my stereo speakers in Line out 2, and using something like Virtual Audio Cable to reroute audio from Teamspeak to my headphones, and everything else to my speakers? I don't have a front headphones panel. I have attempted to reroute audio but it doesn't seem to work. Am I doing something wrong or is there a different way?
    Thank You

  • Xbox 360 - Optical line-in pass through 5.1 to optical line-out on an iMac?

    Hi guys, i'm in the market to purchase a new 5.1 surround sound system for my room and the following issue has been purplexing me.
    IS it possible to daisy chain my XBOX 360 to my iMac with optical cables and pass through 5.1 surround sound to the decoder on the sound system?
    So i'd have an optical cable from my xbox to the line-in on my iMac. I'd use Rogue Amoeba's Line-In app to pass the sound through to the optical line-out and through to the sound system.
    (I know it works using stereo sources, but i don't know about 5.1 digital sound.)
    I also know i could just connect them both to separate optical ports on the sound sytem, but i'm trying to listen to 2 sources at the same time. (5.1 from XBOX and music from iMac).
    Any thoughts on this are appreciated!

    I'm convinced things work like this:
    The SBX-Fi receives the encoded SPDIF.<
    The drivers decode it into the 5 digital audio signals. This siimply regenerates what was put into the encoding and has no effect on its "volume."<
    The 5 digital audio signals are sent to the SBX-Fi hardware, as is.<
    The signals are widened (not sure about the SBX-Fi, but for SBLi've-/SBAudigy-series card it's 32-bits with IIRC 4 bits for headroom, which is 24dB) at input by the SBX-Fi hardware. The additional headroom is probably able to handle most effects/mixing which might happen, but might produce a signal which would clip on output if the intermediate results produce a digital volume over 00%.<
    The master output volume operates on the output signals before they are narrowed.<
    The output signals are narrowed (dithered) and distributed.<
    If that's correct, it means you should be able to simply lower the master output volume in the soundcard mixer; and that presumes something's going on like high Crystalizer settings, or something; to elminate clipping distortion.

    I am using iMac OS 10.7.2 with Garageband'11 6.0.4. I can't record sound from  mixer Behringer X1622USB using USB out. when I connect the mixer to iMac via USB  appears USB Audio CODEC on Sound and Preferences but I can't get no sound from mixer to iMac only sound from iMac to mixer. I only can record sound using microphone line in. Please help.

    Eric,
    Thanks for your reply. Realtek audio works only in playback. There is a stereo mix in the mixer but the recording controls are not operable with no sliders in the mixer for any recording option. Slider controls appear to be grayed out. Can't figure out how to enable them. Downloaded newest drivers to no avail.
    The M Audio control panel has no apparent option for recording stereo mix. Adobe ignores the sound from the DVD or CD and shows flatline.
    I'm trying to record the sound from the DVD not rip the track.
    When I go to Audio Driver Setup and select Audition 3.0 windows sound, there is no input device installed.
    I'm thinking of going back to a decent internal Soundblaster card like I have on my 8 year old machine I am replacing.

  • Audigy ES Digital out probl

    Hi, im trying to hook my Kinyo d565 speakers and decoder up to the digital out on my audigy soundcard.
    Now first off, the decoder has 3 inputs - analogue stero, digital RCA(coaxial), and digital optical.
    i've tried doing everything in audioHQ to get any sound out of my speakers (they work fine when i just use the line out on the sound card and the stereo input on my decoder).
    i've connected the digital out on the soundcard to the optical in on the decoder using a 3.5mm to toslink optical digital cable.
    i have no idea why im not getting any sound at all. is it my cable? - do i need to get a 3.5mm mono to RCA cable?
    any help would be greatly appreciated
    ps.
    i've tried all the things like selected 2 speaker output, disabling decoding of ac3 etc etc....
