Front panel of my Audigy 2 won't w

My front panel on my Audigy 2 won't work. I recently had to replace my motherboard and it won't work since then. It worked fine before. The mixer panel won't even give me the option of Line 2 and Auxilliary in, and my headphone jack won't work either. I don't think they're even getting power, though I'm not sure. I took the optical plug out to see if there was a red light showing, and there wasn't. The inputs and outputs from the back are operational.
I've read other threads on this and none of the solutions there have worked. I've re-connected cables, uninstalled and reinstalled hardware, and software. Still nothing. Only inputs from the back work. I recently had to replace my motherboard. I've tried updating drivers - nothing.
My motherboard is a GIGABYTE GA-K8NSC-939 Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce3 250Gb ATX AMD Motherboard. My processor is AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Venice GHz FSB 52KB L2 Cache Socket 939 Processor. I run Windows XP with both service packs installed (same as with my old motherboard).
Is my card broken?

There should be a light from the optical output as long as there is power to the dri've. Perhaps switch the power cable on that dri've with the cable that goes to your floppy, to see if that helps (in case the cable is faulty). It's possible otherwise that the dri've itself is broken.

Can I connect an Audigy Platinium Front Panel to an Audigy 2 ZS simple card

I had an Audigy Platinium sound card with its front panel and all the stuff that came with it. Recently I bought an Audigy 2 ZS simple card. I was wondering if I can still use the front panel with the new sound card or I have to buy the specific front panel for the Audigy 2 ZS. Please help.

Thanks Cat for answer me so quickly. I have a one more question. Is it possible to get the dri'vebay for the Audigy 2 ZS separately? And if it's possible, how much does it cost and where can I get it's? Thank you.

Casing audio front panel and sb audigy 2

Hi, How could I connect my casing audio front panel jack to sb audigy 2 zs card ? My motherboard has
an onboard audio and it has a pin for audio front panel jack. So in additional rear connector I could connect my mic and headphone from the front panel. Is there a pins on sb audigy card where I could connect my front panel connectors?

Here is one place to start from - http://audigy2zshowto.blogspot.com/.
Follow the links found on that page to other sources --> you may find the pin-order for your card/case models too.
NOTE: Pin order on 0-pin properiatry connector may vary a bit from A2Zs what's been used there (like it did for Audigy 2) but it's not very difficult to find out the right pins.

Audigy 2 Platinum Front Panel Connecti

I recently began recording my band in our home studio. My mixing board is a Midas Venice 240 which has two balanced XLR outputs from the master bus. I am wondering what method I may use to connect this output to the /4" stereo input on the front panel of the Audigy 2 Platinum. If I just purchase a Y-adapter to combine the two channels into one XLR and then convert it to /4" TRS jack will both channels be preserved? Are there any sound quality issues that arise from this method of connection? I was hoping to get answers to these questions before wasting money buying unnecessary adapters.
Thanks

The BEST way to do this is to go to radio shack and buy two (yes 2) of their?XLR to /4" Impedence Matching Transformers, AND?one (yes )?dual /4" female TS (tip-sleeve) to single /4" male TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) "Y" cable. Unless your mixer also has /4" main outs as well as the XLR... then you can just use the Y cable and skip the transformers. Or you can use a /8" Y cable with the transformers (and stereo /4 to stereo /8 adapter) and go into the card's line in jack on the actual card. Which is how I did it for a year or more untill i got a firewire recording interface (and it worked darn good too with my Soundcraft mixer and some good microphones). Either way,?you need the transformers for optimal results. The reason is the mixer's output impedence and level doesnt match that of the soundcard's input... mixer will likely overdri've the card, or the signal will sound weak or noisy.. The transformers?are cheap and are darn handy for loads of recording functions, and will provide the Audigy with exactly the type of signal it needs, properly transformed from the mixer. If you do this, you can record ALL of the mixer channels IN STEREO with all the panning, effects, and levels preserved. If you have multitracking software like Cubase or similar, you can even record an individual instrument (or even 2 at once, one panned left, one right... each assigned its own track in your software), come back on a new track (or pair of tracks), and record a different instrumet (or 2) and build a multitrack recording one performance at a time. PS:? you CANNOT just hardwire the mixer outputs and combine them into a single channel. A mixer is needed to properly combine?signals. Don't do it
!!! Have fun... and rock on.PSS:? make sure your overall cable is as short as possible. If you must run it for more than 6 feet then run it in XLR mode and convert it very close to the computer. The non XLR section of cable is an antenna for noise. The XLR section will be shielded against noise. Also, the transformers are kinda heavy so do not plug them into somthing and allow them to hang in the plug becasue the hanging weight will ruin your jack. Its best to run cables to the transformers, allowing them to lay on the floor... in a safe place where they wont get stomped on.

SB0010D Front Panel (Arghh

Hey There,?Can anyone please help me... I have looked every where and have tried everything! Nothing will WORK! I can not get my front panel for my Audigy to work. I checked every possible setup and bla bla bla, My headphones work my optical in and out work... everything works great, but I can not for the life of me get my front Mic Jack to work! Thats the whole reason I bought this card was for that. Creative sucks and keeps sending me to their Knowledge Base? and its frustrating. I have read a zillon peoples posts and threads on every site and nothing! Please please help a guy out here! I have made sure that everything is cranked and that nothing is muted, I have even tried different Driver setups! Man ALIVE! all I want to do is record! Please help me out... does anyone have drivers that will fix this, or do I need a driver especially for my front bay? ANY Help any ideas would be amazing!?Frustrated!Me!?

' It's not the bacground sound what you understand - the becground sound is something like similar of "fax sound" but it's came from mobo or cpu - becaouse i can hear how i scrolle throw web or if i start to download something i hear stream sound. I try to mute all - nothing. Also bacground sone didnt change if i change any of volume.

Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro Front Panel not functio

Okay, so I recently bought a new motherboard, processor and ram.
Upon installing all components, everything works just fine.
Except my Audigy 2 zs plat pro front panel.
The power light is on, but it won't recognize ANYTHING plugged in to it.
It worked just fine on my old set up, so I'm not sure what's going on.
Here's my current set up;
Asus A8n SLI Nforce4 socket 939 mobo
AMD 64 3800+ cpu
gb Corsair VS
BFG GeForce 7800 GT graphics card
Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro (with completely updated drivers, btw)
The mobo DOES have onboard sound, so I don't know if that would be conflicting with anything, but I can't find any problems anywhere.
Power is hooked up correctly, and all wires are, too.
Blah! Any suggestions?Message Edited by iherbie on 2-28-2005 :4 PM

iherbie,
I don't have a platinum pro, just a plain Audigy 2 ZS. So I can only offer some general troubleshooting ideas. First, check for IRQ conflicts with other cards. Second, make sure the cable from the card to the front panel is securely seated. Removing and replugging is a quick way to verify this. If you have a multi-meter, you could test the integrity of the cable. Third, removing and reseating the sound card itself, or moving it to another PCI slot would be a good idea. If that doesn't help, then I'd uninstall and reinstall the software and drivers because perhaps front panel functions weren't properly installed the first time. I'm assuming that the rear in/out jacks work, and that the Creative CD that came with your Audigy is compatible with your current version of Windows and service pack, and that you have disabled onboard sound in your BIOS.Message Edited by Katman on 0-07-2006 08:38 PM

Audigy 2 ZS Platinum - Front panel issues

Hello there,
I originally had the Creative Audigy 2 ZS Platinum and all was fine. It all worked and the world was happy. I then (won't go into details) managed to damage the card and whilst I still got sound, the front panel and the joystick port would not work. As it was only the card that was broken, I purchased a new Audigy 2 ZS card assuming I would be able to just stick the front panel connector back on and all would be hunky-dory.
As you probably guessed, I am here, so all is not well. Whilst the game port now works, the front panel still does not respond to anything and I am at a loss. Is there some kind of jumper I need to switch or something? What have I done wrong.
All input is more that welcome, thanks...

i am having front panel issues. i think the damage to the card is a potential problem, but i don't think it's the cause for the panel not working. i think something is just seriously wrong with creative hardware. i really don't think pre-sales testing was performed extensi'vely enough. i have had more problems with my audigy 2 platinum in the 2.5 yrs i've had it than a new born baby. to make a long story short, i did a complete upgrade of my system, the only thing i kept was my case and audigy 2 and front dri've bay. i did nothing different than i had before, re-installed windows and everything. everything EXCEPT the front dri've bay works. i do get the red light from the optical out though, so there is power. i don't know what's wrong with this thing. all i can say is: creative you need to get your s**t together, you have as many issues with your sound blaster cards as microsoft has with windows. tech support: you need to do something for once and answer posts that people ask. i posted my question about this problem 7 months ago when it happened, guess how many repsonses i have. ZERO, NONE, NADA, NOT ONE RESPONSE. i don't blame forum users, not everyone knows, i blame tech support b/c you don't respond. i have no clue why, but do something, please.

VI front panel won't close when it's done executing, when this vi was called by reference.

I've created a simple vi set to demonstrate the issue I'm having. I'm dynamically launching sub vi's from a main application. Simply put the main application is my test exec and the subvi's I'm calling dynamically are different tests. In the example I'm posting here the test vi is called Electrical Test 1.vi. I've configured this Electrical Test 1.vi to show front panel when called and close afterwards if originally closed. Problem is it won't close the front.
Other things to keep in mind
I want to be able to launch the test vi and not wait till it's done.
I'm using LabVIEW 2012 SP1.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Basically the close after call only matters if the VI is called as a subVI (just like if you open a VI yourself and run it, it doesn't close when it is done). The two ways around this are to either have your top lvl app close the VI when it is done, this is explained here:
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/987B2026B41BD39786256CF800032E8C
or to have your VI close itself when it is done. Use a This VI reference and the Front Panel:Close invoke node.
Hope this helps.

Audigy 2 front panel: Aux-in 2 no longer wo

This is odd to me. I updated to Windows SP3 and it insisted on updating my realtek HD audio drivers which I had disabled. Upon restart they were reinitalized. I quickly turned them off, disabled, then uninstalled them.
I switched back to my Audigy 2 but my AUX-IN 2 no longer works, and no it's not muted. It's really frustrating since I have some multimedia streaming through those RCA's and I really need it.
I've tried to rip every audio driver out. I've reinstalled about 4 times. And it still doesn't work. I've tried old drivers, new drivers. No luck.
Do you think there could be some conflict inflicted by when both drivers were installed? Are there any apps to purge Realtek from my system? Does SP3 have something to do with it's? Please help!
Quick Edit: Everything else on the front panel works and the my cables are new. I bought them because I thought they were shot.

Thanks for the response. I've tried the program and it does work for the intended purpose; however, now I'm experiencing a new issue. Sometimes when Muvixer "kicks in" and changes the input back to my selection the computer will lock up. I'd say this occurs out of 25 times -- enough to make this a severe pain. The sound will freeze with repititous noises coming from the speakers and the computer will be completely non-responsi've. The only solution is to hard restart. I've got a fairly decent dual core rig @ 3.9ghz with a week-old reformat and clean Windows install, so I can only imagine this is an issue with the audigy.
Any suggestions?

Can I connect an Audigy 2 front panel to an X-Fi?

I have an older Audigy 2 Platinum with the front panel and an X-Fi Titanium Fatalty Pro card. I'd like to connect the front panel if possible because I don't think Creative even makes the front panels for the X-Fi cards anymore and they were always kind of expensi've.

The Titaniums use a different cabling system than the Audigy line did. You wont be able to connect the two........

Audigy SB 2 ZS Platinum Front Panel not working-HELP

GB GeIL RAM
6600 GT 28MB Video Card
Samsung 20GB SATA HDD

Creative SB Audigy 2ZS Platinum
I got the 2ZS platinum from a friend, but I already had a regular 2ZS. I plugged in his front panel to my old 2ZS. The front panel did not work. I then got his 2ZS, just the sound card, and plugged in the front panel. It still did not work. I installed all the software and drivers, and nothing. My sound card works fine, it is just the front panel that doesnt work. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks a ton,
Derek
P.S. The AD_EXT Cable fell apart a couple of times, but we put it back together. Could that be a problem? If so, where can I get a new AD_EXT Cable?

Audigy 2 Platinum Front Panel

I just built a new custom machine and I want to use my audigy 2 plantium. My new case is black and the front panel is white. Can I just purchase a new front panel that is black? Or can I just change the white face plate? It looks like the white face plate just clips on. There is nothing wrong with the device other than its an eye sore. I looked on creative's website and could not find anything about replacement panels. I really do not want to buy a new X-Fi Platinum and spend $99 bucks on a backup computer, as I already have a X-Fi in my main system.
Thanks for the help.

Actually I'm having the same problem too here.
Did all the troubleshooting I could the only thing left is to test the AD_EXT cable.
Anyone able to give some advise on this?
