Front I/0 panel on Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum ZS not fo

The front I/0 panel on Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum ZS not found by Creative Volume Control Application. Under recording sources, I can only choose from "What you hear", MIDI Synth, S/PDIF-In, CD Digital, Analog Mix (Line/CD/Aux/TAD/PC), Microphone and Wave. The option to record from anything on the front panel, (Aux-in 2, Line-in/Mic-in 2) have disappeared. I have tried re-installing the software from scratch, just installing Creative Update components and even formatting the hard-dri've and re-loading Windows but it still doesn't work!!?Does anybody have any helpful suggestions on this frustrating matter?

If you're using a dynamic microphone, the Audigy 2 ZS dri've bay has a jumper which you can change for it to support dynamic microphones instead of electret microphones. However once this is done you won't be able to use electret mics until you've changed the jumper setting back.

Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum EX

Hello, I have a Sound Blaster audigy platinum EX-, me and bought a new PC and have put my targeta SB, but in the installation as soon as this one quite made, when I want to calibrate my 5. puncturing in Mediasource's icon there goes out a mistake that he says: his targeta is not compatible with this controller. I have put him Win XP with SPack 3, as I have seen it is not drivers for this targeta with SPack 3, only it is with SPack 2, which I must do , do I put a SPack 2 Or is it drivers for SPack 3
I m Spanish, a pardon for my English

Hi Specter,
Don't worry, it's better to ask questions and get the answers you need, than to be confused or unsure
The first question is a bit subjecti've, some people may notice the difference, but the quality/SNR on those cards is very high so it shouldn't make much of a difference really. It will sound better aswell as you'll be hearing the full effects, in the proper speakers, instead of just stereo.
As far as the second query goes, I can't really recommend any particular application to you personally, but others can add their input there. The full versions of the various applications should all pretty much have the same options, at least the ones I've tested generally allow you to change the audio option which is what you'll need if you want to connect digitally (most DVD applications now have a built-in decoder, but if you want the audio to be sent over the digital connection you need to turn off the decoding option, so it outputs the signal untouched, to your receiver). Trial versions don't have as many options though, so on some you might not be able to adjust the option you need, but that shouldn't be a problem on full versions.
Hope that helps,

Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum BIG Proble

I have sound blaster audigy platinum and in few weeks I have got this strange problem that I?ve hadn't before. If I use old drivers for it, windows gives me blue screen with "bad pool caller" very often when I play or just listen music. With new drivers it gives me "driver irql not less or equal". At the same time in linux it works fine. In windows I've checked viruses etc. reinstalled windows many times, used memtest and so on. Finally 2 days ago I took my Sound blaster off my computer and ever since I haven't got any problems. So it obviously is the problem. But I just don't know what to do anymore to get it work? Now I use the sound card that comes integrated with my motherboard but it's not as good. Btw I don't use integrated sound card same time with sound blaster. Please Help!

Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum creating hard re

Greetings. Looking for insight on what I might do to alleviate a problem I am having with a Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum sound card and dri've.
This is the original Audigy Platinum. I am running windows XP pro with all sevice packs installed.
Installation of this new unit went well. No hardware or software conflicts and the card and audio "dri've" worked on the first attempt. All software also installed properly.
Unfortunately, when playing any audio through the system continuously for over a minute or so, the system begins to have trouble. This trouble is exerienced independent of what software or media type is playing the audio.
First, the sytem will have momentary "hangs" where the audio will be interrupted by a monotone electronic beep lasting from a fraction of a second to a couple of seconds long. The audio will then resume from the point it had left off when the tone began. If I continue to play audio after these tones begin, the system will shortly thereafter go through a hard reset. (By hard reset I mean an immediate return to memory count, bios screen and then startup as if I had pressed the reset button or the power had been interrupted)
The ONLY time this takes place is when I have been playing some sort of continuous audio.
As I said, if anyone has experienced this and has any insight as to the cause or more importantly the remedy to to the problem, I would appreciate the input.
Thanks.
JP

No comments on this?
Just hoping someone will be able to help me so I can use my audio files once again.

Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum

Hi there I just had a quick simple question. I am interested in buy one of the Sound Blast Audigy Platinum eX sound cards with the external portion as well. I am wondering if the external can double as a receiver so I can just hook up a set of speakers to the PCI card for my TV and my Personal Computer. Is this possible, even if I do need to purchase extra adapters? I have an RCA cable I can run from the L/R of my TV to the External Card, but can the External card provide an output to the speakers? Basically all I am asking is if the TV sound can go out of the PC speakers...lol Sorry if I made it sound more complicated than it really is.
Sincerely,
Matt

Mic2 front panel of sound blaster audigy 2 zs platinum still not worki

anyone..... please help!!!
I have a sound blaster audigy 2 zs platinum, everything is hooked up perfectly including all power cable, and connectors to the front dri've bay. I have a samson q7 microphone that is connected using xlr female to /4" plug to the mic2 jack but I got no input signal. I then tried also using just a /4" to /8" to the back mic port of the PCI, no signal either. My friend said this mic doesn't need any other power like a phantom power or anything
can you please help me!

Sound blaster audigy 2 zs not working with vi

ok so my sound blaster worked fine with xp and i upgraded to vista and it isnt working at all. i tried to install the driver from creative's site that is supposed to work with vista. when i run the install it says it is missing a bunch of files like layout.bin and setup.exe, setup.ini,and a bunch of crap like that...i even tried getting these files from somewhere else and putting them in the install folder, it ran without missing files but gave me the same error at the end, I-00. THEN i even tried using the cd it came with when i bought the card on xp, it worked with a few minor errors but at the end it recognized my card but i get absolutely no sound at all...

The problem you are getting has to do with InstallShield and most probably your?Vista configuration... Make sure you are running as administrator and check the log files in the Program Files/InstallShield... folder to see exactly what files you are missing. There is a Creative Knowledgebase article about it, so do read it. Also do remove any Creative XP software, especially make sure you removed the InstallShield Creative folders (in the same location as above), as these have been known to cause Installation failures.

Creative Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum

Im having issues with this card when I bought it it was great but now after reformats and installing from the software disc I frist recieve an error saying it cant find the remote reciever then I recieve an exclamation mark next to the audio media controller in system device manager although my sound still works on desktop (but not using computer based programs like cubase sx 3)....thinking it was may be needing an update I came to the website and it told me to update to all latest driver and patches to which I did..rebooted and still same problem this time added problem being I have no sound at all. So why? has this all of a sudden happend... I am coumputer literate enought to uninstall all older software before installing new software from this website but all to no avail...why is there no audio media controller in all the software thats available to download from here... Ive also tried having the realtek audio 97AC driver installed before installing all creative software and also installing it after installing all media from creative but either way it tells you to?uninstall this driver as it can cause conflicts to which I do and its still no sound ?..it resolves the issue of the exclamation mark next to audio media controller in device manager but theres still no sound...So why dont I get any errors when installing the software from the disc it all goes smooth then gives me the no remote reciever detected (tried new batteries in it)....then again same problem with audio media controller...please help me as this card at the time of buying cost me nearly ?200....

It sounds like the card isn't installing correctly, when it is installed it should be listed in the Device Manager with the correct name (so not a generic audio device or unknown device). It would be best to disable your onboard audio to make sure that won't conflict.
What happens when you run the installation CD? Does it seem to install the driver? It may help to uninstall the card, and move it to another slot if it isn't getting picked up correctly. It'll force it onto other resources, reinstall the CD then.
When the card is installed, check in Control Panel -> Sounds and Audio Devices. The card should be listed there so you can select it as the preferred device (for playback and recording).

Creative Sound Blaster Audigy II NX Not working on Intel Mac

Hi
I am running a 20 inch Core Duo iMac, stock config and Tiger 10.4.5. I also have a g4 12 inch iBook runnung 10.4.5 also running in stock config.
Oer the last few days I have been trying to get my Audigy 2 nx to work on the iMac, it is recognised by the system preferences and I can select it without any trouble in the Audio/MIDI app. However, I don't get any sound from it. The same hardware works perfectly with the PPC Ibook, and I am guessing that I may be completely out of luck and will have to purchase a speaker set with the decoder built in...but...and it is a big but...has anyone else had this problem? Could they solve it?
Thanks

Pin Specifications for Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SB1394

;Pin Specifications for Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SB394 I have a Sound Blaster Audigy SB934 CA000-IAF Creative Tech '0 AA299J basically a Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum (wiouth the front bay for conectivity.)? And since I dont' have the front bay for heaphone and mic conectivity I was wondering if there is a spec sheet for the 40-Pin conectivity that is used for the front bay. I was wondering if anyone could provide me with such spec sheet so that I can try to conect my frontal Intel board plugs for headphone and microphone (would like to use my headset.)
There are a lot of pins on the card and well only about 8 in the conector for the front plugs. So if any dev from the forum is reading this I would greatly apreciate it if I could use my front Intel sound plugs on this old model card.
Thank you for all your help.

That will help you with the pin assignments.......
And you can also try one of these to connect a lot more easily to your front panel audio jacks.......

Sound Blaster Audigy Problem

Ok I am finally stumped.
Specs

Athlon 64 3200+
512MB 400Mhz DDR
2 x 120GB Segate HD
AIW 9800 Pro
Win XP Pro Sp 1
Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum
MSI 52x32x52 CD-RW
TDK DVD Recorder
I have tried a million ways to get this stupid soundcard to work, and to no avail.
I downloaded the newest drivers from soundblaster.com and it says it can't even detect the audigy however it shows up in my unknown device detecter. I tried other Audigy drivers that have been unified for 5.1 plat & audigy plat. Same results. I then went to my old install CD that came with the sound card and it works. However my live drive is not being enabled for some reason. I have tried hooking up a 5.1 Live Drive and nothing as well.
I don't have any sound drivers for anything onboard releated installed.
I tried the Kx Drivers for giggles and they installed and even got closer with my Inspire 6.1's working a bit better, however live drive still not working correctly.
My 1394 Net Adapter 1 & 2 are not loaded (drivers) ! mark by the both of them, they tell me to run the trouble shooter 2 says the device drive couldn't load due to old install being in the system, however I have removed these devices before and tried to do something.
ATM I really need to get this sound card functional so any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks

First time in my life a motherboard worries me before I start playing with it. I have been waiting for my K8T Neo to arrive for two weeks and had time to read numerous reviews and forum.
I validated almost every piece of hardware I’m using, including the sound card (Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum) against the list of hardware tested in MSI’s test report. My sound card was supposed to be supported but we all know the story…
Anyway, I was pleased when I booted for the first time my PC (after disabling the onboard sound) to succeed where many of us failed. I even managed to install Windows XP SP1 without any trouble. I also installed all the latest versions of the drivers, except for my Audigy, for which I installed the driver that came on the accompanying CD. I had no trouble with the stereo sound.
Trouble came when I tested the surround sound. I experienced the same thing as goretexpretzels: no sound from the rear channels… I then updated with the latest version of the drivers/mixer but same crap.
I will perform some tests and try with a non-SP1 version of XP to see if it resolves the problem, but I sincerely hope that MSI will come out with a BIOS patch or a workaround before long.
I’m already starting to regret for not having stayed with Abit after all those years of reliable computing…
