Yes. The Audigy 2 ZS sound card support DTS and Dolby Digital 5.1 decoding so it will work with the speaker.

No audio in Windows 7 64bit with Audigy 4 Pro and Inspire 7.1 speakers

Hi, this is my first post in this forum. This issue is killing me?
Configuration:
Intel Core i7 920 2.66Ghz
DDR3 600Mhz PC2800 6GB Corsair XMS3 Classic CL9 Skt366
Samsung TB HD03SJ 7200rpm 32MB Spinpoint F3
Mobo ASUS 366 P6T SE
New Windows 7 installation, no upgrade, so everything?s new. Realtek HD integrated audio chipset works fine, so the speakers are ok. Obviously I want my 2005 Audigy 4 back, especially for its external box.
I can't get any audio out of my speakers, zero, nothing, nada. Windows 7 recognizes it and if I run the control panel?s tests the equalizer shows that music is playing but still I won?t ear a single note.
I tried everything:
-I checked Windows mixer, the output was correct and no ?mute? was selected, no SPDIF, no optical etc etc
-I deactivated the Realtek
-I tried to put the Audigy in different PCI slots?
-I tried the latest Creative drivers?
-I tried unofficial drivers?
What should I do now?
Maybe I could try:
-Updating the mobo bios. I don?t really want to do it unless it'ss absolutely necessary. My mobo is quite new anyway and from its bios updates I can't see nothing related to pci slots or audio issues.
-Playing around with the drivers: maybe I?m wrong, but I?suspect that, while installing creative drivers, every time I restart the system Windows 7 re-check the audio card and puts its Creative Audigy WDM? driver. I?m not too sure about this: from Windows device manager it seems that the drivers are updated and running.
Any ideas?

JProblem solved.
Apparently there was a clash between Windows 7 driver (?) and the one from Creative.
I had to use a specific software in order?to delete creative drivers and software.
After the erase of every piece of junk I could install creative official drivers.
Audio playback is fine, still I have s?to test recording...

Audigy 2 ZS and inspire T7700 no 7.1 with mov

Hello. Maybe you can help me:
I was trying to watch Episode one (with Dolby sourround EX) with power DVD 6 an Windvd 6 plat but i'm having problems with my 8 channel output because when i start the THX optimizer, the sound that is supoused to be heard on my side speakers, comes from the rear speakers and the sound from channels 6 & 7 (Rear center) its also coming from those speakers. This Failure also happens with the Windvd Channel test: side speakers doesn't work and in power DVD 6, CLMEI II technology does not work with side speakers. The only way to get sound from my side speakers is with CMMS.
The tests for the THX console for audigy 2 complete succesfully altough it keeps me saying that my side speaker and sub aren't wired correctly (polarization test). The channel and noise testing goes ok besides that.
This problem is exclusi've to DVD watching beacause with EAX HD 3.0 or 4.0 games, i'm not having any problem.
is Dolby digital EX in episode really works with 7. configurations (region 4)?
How do i need to configure this players to work with the installed decoders?
Are my speaker set defecti've?
Can i buy some kind of monster cable to imrpove my sound?
It's that all right that the sound from 5. tracks (DD or DTS) is played from the front and rear speaker and not in the side ones?
Note:
The supoused wiring problems repeats itself even if i change the connector of the the side speakers with the rear ones (that are soppoused to work fine). That means (i think) this problem isn't caused by the speakers wiring (i think i made it ok) could it be that the 7. cable is deffecti've?
What to do? Please Help me
Creative Staff: where i can go to check this on Mexico city? is there any sopport center where i can go and get some help?
My config:
Audigy 2 ZS and Creative inspire 7. T7700

My guess is that your PowerDVD and WinDVD versions don't have ES support and you're using the programs to decode. This might be the case if you are configuring the programs for multiple speakers. If you are, try configuring them for SPDIF output, then make sure the soundcard is configured to decode AC3/DTS (it probably is). Does that help?

Audigy 2 ZS and Inspire T7900 Serious Problems!

Hey Guys I'am a guy from germany and I have serious problems with my speaker system!
Following System:
Windows XP Professional with SP2Creative Audigy 2 ZS SoundcardCreatice Inspire T7900(7.1) Speakers
My Problem:
No Surround!My Card is configured to 7.1 Speaker System, I have the newest Drivers from the page and all is 100% correct connected although wenn i make a Speaker Test in the THX Konsole the Guy only speaks from the Front speakers!!left frontspeaker: front left,side left rear leftright frontspeaker: front right, side right, rear right, front middle
(order of the announcements aren't right here)
when i connect 2.0 speakers from my brother to the green plug the same happens!!
What's going on here?!! is that a BUG?
please help
grettz Kai

It sounds like the soundcard drivers aren't installed properly or aren't being properly configuring the speaker settings.
Try changing to 2.0/2.1 and 4.0/4.1 and see if those modes work with the speakers connected as they are. If they do then 'tis a software problem and uninstalling and reinstalling the Audigy drivers should fix it (hopefully).

Disconnect the grey audio cable from the speaker subwoofer and grab a piece of 3.5mm minijack stereo cable. Connect one end of the stereo cable to the audio port on the speaker that you have just disconnected and the other end to your onboard audio side audio jack.

Distorted / choppy recorded sound with Audigy 2 ZS and Vista 64-bit

Hi, I wonder if anybody has any idea of why this issue is happening. First let me give you my PC specs:
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 940 @ 3.0 GHz
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4 rev. 2.0
Graphics: 2 x BFG GeForce 8800 GT 52MB
RAM: 4 x GB G.Skill PC6400 @ 800 MHz
Sound: Creative SB Audigy 2 ZS
TV Tuner:? Hauppauge WinTV PVC PCI II (26xxx)
OS: Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit SP
?So here's the deal. I have no problems whatsoever with audio playback with this sound card. The issue I am having is while recording sound with it. When I record my voice via a Microphone with the Windows Sound Recorder and then play it back, my voice sounds very choppy. It sounds as if I was talking in front of a fan. The same happens with any program I try to use. If I use Audacity to record sound, the playback is also distorted / choppy. The main problem is with Skype, as I cannot use it to talk to people because they cannot understand what I'm saying because of the issue. Does anybody has any ideas why this happens? My PC is a dual boot PC with Vista 64-bit and XP 32-bit, and this issue only happens with Vista. Sound recorded plays back fine under Windows XP.
I am using the latest drivers available for this card from the Creative site.
I'd appreciate your help,
Daniel

A little bit off topic here, but 64bit does not mean more performance at all lol.
Sure, but there are in some cases drastic performence diferences. Under a fresh installed Vista X64 i have less CPU usage, as under 32 bit. But of course X64 uses more RAM (some tasks are double 32 and 64 bit).But the main reason I have more performence is, that the games I often play, get almost a boost. Dont ask me why, but under 64 bit EAW and FOC have the same FPS as under 32 bit. But under X64 I use a bit more Details and a higher resolution. (both are 32 bit games, so its a bit funy )?______________________?Sure there are other ways to install the drivers. But if some Setup dosent work, the first thing I try is to get it via Divice Management. And as this worked for me, I dont waste time to try other methods (Had bad experience, you can break the driver faster than install it *G*)?______________________?Some Questions I have left (after a few hours undr X64 with Creative Drivers):?Could it be, that the driver causes sometimes havy CPU usage?Could it also be, that the driver causes some lags, after you copy a file (the end sound, copy is finihed, but takes more time for "final finish", than without the drivers) - I know that Vista has some problems, on some PCs with copy, and that MS has an inoficial Patch (but dosent help for my PC so far)

Msi mega 180 and Inspire T5900

I have an MSI Mega 80 compute which has 5.1 output but my Inspire T5900 has three input. How can I make this work to get 5.1 on my T5900 speakers? Do I need the decoder too?

You will have to check the manual for your onboard audio to properly configure it with the speaker.

Audigy 2 nx and inspire 5

hello
i have just got audigy 2 nx card and i have inspire 5700 digital speakers.Please tell me how can i connect audigy 2 nx to the speakers.Nx card doesnot have digital out connector for the digital din.Only options are the analog,s/pdif outand optical out on nx card, no s/pdif and optical cables are provided with the card.For analog the decoder of the speaker set has only two option i,e rear and front (no center/subwoofer option).So should i use optical out option ?
Another question is that many ppl are saying that audigy 2 nx card is a fraud and a failure and sudigy 2 zs is far better, is it true ?

Any idea?
Audigy 2 NX supports 6. sound. So i should hear audio on my rear center when i'm testing speakers under speaker settings (channel and noise).

No sound with Audigy 2 ZS and WinFast PVR softwa

Hi! I run Windows Vista build 5744 and WinFast PVR software with WinFast PVR 2000 tv tuner, the problem is, when I run li've tv I can`t get li've sound just when I record, it`s recording with sound. In Vista Media Center it`s all ok.
Help please!

Still no reply? I d like to make it straight. My SB Audigy 2 ZS is connected through analog to creative 5. speaker system. The speakers are calibrated so I can hear surround music in media players or in All games which supports EAX. (e.g. Doom3, Half-Life 2). The only problem I have with good-old Diablo 2. The game supports Dolby Surround ( Pro-logic?) and EAX2. I enabled 3D sound and environmental Effects but I hear sound only from front speakers (L+F, center, subw). The rear speakers are quiet. Do you have any expirience with this issue? Do I need an external decoder through SPDIF for DD surround? The cinematics are encoded in dolby surround so Audigy might not to recognize it's Too many questions...
The Blizzard support is not replying..

Audigy Platinum Ex and Inspire Digital 5500 Speak

Having li'ved with my old Cambridge speakers now for about 3 years years I have recently noticed a sound similar to a distant rumble of thunder on the speakers, the longer they are left on the lounder and more frequent the rumble becomes. So, as they are getting on a bit I have decided to invest in a new set of speakers - Creative Inspire Digital 5500's, but they have yet to arri've.
Have I made a mistake in ordering these speakers? I have read several threads that intimate there may be a number of problems/incompatibility issues.
From what I can gather I either have to plug the speakers directly into the Audigy card outputs to retain the software advantages (5. speakers, base, treble and EAX) and then lose the manual ability to control the volume from the supplied Inspire Amp/mixer OR plug the speakers into the Amp/mixer and lose the software control.
My main use for the speakers is listening to music, not really interested in Dolby output or watching DVDs, screen and study too small, but I do occasionally watch a film or TV episode on the PC.
If anyone can either confirm or deny my percieved error in ordering these speakers it would be most appreciated.
Dave McCreath

Hi All
Answering my own question for others to find should they have any qualms.
New speakers arri'ved and installed. Connected to PC via coaxial input and work fine on both stereo (front left and right speakers only) and Dolby Pro Logic (all speakers - WOW!!).
Using Audio HQ, supplied with my Audigy software, I can test the speakers but only the front right and left work with the test. However, all work fine with the speaker test from the inspire 5500 remote - so verdict:
I am impressed with the quality, easy set up and sound manipulation. EAX also works fine!

Help with Audigy 2 Zs and crackling sound ..

For the past 5 months or so ( not long after I got the product ) I have been getting this periodic issue with the sound ...
I'll start to notice a popping and crackling sound coming from the left channel when loud sounds issue from the game ( multiple games ). After a while I figured ou ttha tI could :
a: Reset all my settings to Default , Then reconfigure my surround
or
b: Reinstall and/or patchthe current driver set ...
Both seem to fix the issue for some time then it all returns within a month or so .... It's a rela pain to have to keep configuring my Audio settings every month.
My system specs are
Asus A7N8X DLX Rev. 02
AMD 3000+
Gig Corsair XMS
BFG 6800GT 256
Audigy 2 ZS
Raptor 74 Gig
and some Altec Landsing Speakers ( I forgot the model number )
Any idea what could be causing this ?
Thanks in advance.

I got the fix for you twellons. Just go in the audio control panel and mute the midi/synth in the panel and you will have the fix. My system specs are close toy yours amd 2800xp, nforce 2 a7n8x dlx ver .04 and a original audigy card. Now creative has to address this issue in new drivers. Also download the demo of contract jack and when you load the game and the game menus comes up, scroll through the options in that menu like new game, load game quickly and you will here that popping noise in only the left speaker. and when you do that fix that i mentioned above, no more popping . So try that out and please get back to me and tell me if it worked or not. That issue was tough to figure out.
P.S. You owe me

Numerous problems with Audigy 2 ZS and 7.1 Gigawo

Muted sound from all sources with software and hardware volume controls max'ed.
Unable to calibrate speakers at setup--- sound comes out of wrong speaker, or more than one at a time (center and a rear speaker at same time). Connections checked and rechecked and are all correct.
Distorted, disproportionately loud sound out of center speaker, even when turned down.
Loud popping and clicking during games, video. Latest driver updates were installed.
Going to uninstall and then reinstall drivers, but this is too much aggravation. If that doesn't work I'm sending the card and speakers back and going back to using SB Li've! and 2. Cambridge Soundworks Microworks.

Krookut,
Try these suggested steps when cleansweeping and reinstalling. They may help make the reinstall more successful:

Problem with Audigy 2 ZS and Microph

hi!
i use skype to communicate with my friends. in sound mixer i chose 'microphone' for recording. this works like a charm.
BUT:
as soon as i start a game (i.e. World of Warcraft), the recording device is automatically changed to 'what you hear'. when i switch task to system mixer, i can change back to 'microphone', but as soon as i go back to the game, it instantly changes back to 'what you hear'. this issue occurs not only with this game, but with others as well.
you can imagine what my friends must hear when i play the game (they hear every soundeffect, music and even themselves).

Audigy 2 ZS and inspire P5800 probl

Hi i just got both of these this year, and i am having trouble watching movies in Dolby or DTS. I can only hear the front 3 channels in Dolby, and no sound in DTS. I have everything plugged in right, and during the speaker tests every channel is audible and working properly. Thanks to anyone who can help me!

speedking,
Ensure that the DTS decoder have been enabled for the sound card through Control Panel -> AudioHQ -> Device Control -> Decoder.
Also ensure that the DVD playback software have been set to SPDIF Passthrough or similar option.
