Getting An Audigy 2 zs Platinum remote to work on vista

Hi,
I have had this soundcard for quite a while must be going on 3-4 years nowand although having vista since it was released have still not been able to resolve the fact its remote does not work which was at the time one of the main reasons for buying the platinum version.
I know this must seem kinda late to start pissing arround with this but I just never had the time.
Any help on resolving this issue would be great..
Cheers

Anyone?

Help -- Getting my Audigy Pro 4 RM-1500 working in windows 7 X64

@Help -- Getting my Audigy Pro 4 RM-500 working in windows 7 X64. To anyone who can help
?I used the latest version of daniel_k's most excellent drivers to install?my Audigy Pro 4 ?(with external box) on a Windows 7 X64 operating system and all the audio devices I have tested so far have worked great.
However, I can't seem to get the rm-500 remote working. I have installed the lasted (0/30) version of mediasouce5;? and the drivers for my remote do not seem to be included.
The closest I can come is the beta version of the vista entertainment center which does install a remote control settings configuator. However, it doesn't seem to recognice the Audigy Pro 4's version of the rm-500, even though it is listed as an option. I get a "can't find an ir device" error.
Any suggestions for me as to how I can get it working, if it all?
Much Thanks!
Jackalope

D When I was beta testing Windows 7, I had the same problem with my remote for X-Fi Platinum Fatalty Champion. I discovered a program called Intelliremote (just Google it) that worked great. It works with Creative remotes. I found for some reason the beta driver of entertainment center, in compatibility mode, works with the final version of Win 7. I hope this hel

Audigy 2 ZS Platunum Pro (working with vista x64 beta

Just posting to let all you people know the Audigy 2 ZS does actualy work with vista beta 2 64bit the drivers them self do not work nor do any of the others but if you play around with them for a few hours (not using this work around which sucks) you can get them to work.
All I used was the drivers for XP 64bit and the Beta drivers with the XP drivers in first then uninstalled then put the new drivers in after.
Problem is for now they only work in stereo, though the breakout box does work with the voilume and such.
So dont give up sound will come from your audigy 2 zs just not very easly :P
EDIT: Well it seems that most people know this now, anyone got a sound way to get 5. working?Message Edited by Cafuddled on 06--2006 :2 AM

I would like to add my two cents to this. I had an RM-500 which stopped working after a while. My MCE IR receiver seemed to pick up an infra-red signal from the thing but the dri've bay didn't respond.
I then tried an older RM-900 from an old Audigy installation and that worked perfectly with the dri've bay. So in my case, the RM-500 was dead ( the battery was ok ).

SB Audigy 2 Platinum Remote Control Problem, Need THis Resolved quic

Hi
this is a Known issue to Symantec Support, I really really want to be able to use my Audigy 2 Remote Control with this Soundcard, but I can't, until Symantec or YOUR SLOW AS MOLASSES COMPANY UPDATES MEDIASOURCE SOFTWARE SO THESE 2 PROGRAMS DON"T CONFLICT, WITH REMOTE CENTER LOADING ON STARTUP, IT WILL NOT LOAD AUTOPROTECT FOR NORTON ANTIVIRUS 2005
FIX THIS, and quickly, is all I have to say
Or let use SB Audigy 2 Platinum Users download the newest versions of the software

Hi
I don't have that file on startup--SBDrvdet, All I have is Creative DVD Audio Driver Detector, CTHelper, and RCman, which is disabled so Norton's Autoprotect will work ok.
Thanks for the reply though
Here is Symantecs workaround, I guess I can li've with these, but if Norton's Autoprotect winds up disabling by this workaround, and I happen to get a trojan or virus in..then I won't be very happy
To stop Creative MediaSource Go! from running when the computer starts
On the Windows taskbar, click Start >Programs >Creative >Creative MediaSource Go!, and then click Creative MediaSource Go!</LI>
Right-click anywhere on Creative MediaSource Go!</LI>
In the new window that appears, click Close. This prevents the program from loading when the computer starts.</LI>
Do one of the following:
If you also have Creative RemoteCenter, then go on to "To stop Creative RemoteCenter from running when the computer starts."</LI>
If you do not have Creative RemoteCenter, then restart the computer and go to the next step.</LI>

After the computer starts and Norton AntiVirus runs without a problem, then re-enable Creative MediaSource Go!</LI>

After Disabling Creative DVD Audio Detector, I reenabled the Remote Control and restarted, and so far so good last 2 days without a conflict With Norton Antivirus, if it really does solve the problem, I will email Symantec Support and let them know the solution, so they can inform other users with the same problem, since obviously creative doesn't want to assist them in finding the problem or provide help fixing it. So far Remote Control hasn't been an issue, but I'm gonna wait til end of month to send off an email to Symantec to make sure it's actually fixed. Since if it doesn't drop out of me by then, then I know it's fixed, since was only in 2 weeks before it got the internal program error before.

Will the external hub of an audigy 2 platinum pro ZS work with an X-fi Xtreme Mus

Topic title says it all.
I recently bought a new pc with a Soundblaster X-fi Xtreme Music, I love the new features of the card however I don't really want to shell out on getting a usb hub.
With my old pc I had a Soundblaster Audigy 2 Platinum Pro ZS (phew that name is long) and it came with a very usefull external hub with midi and audio inputs, the works. I was wondering if it is possible to hook these two up?
Thanks in advance

No, they aren't compatible. The X-Fi card doesn't have any AD_Link connector to link up with the external I/O console you have.

Creative labs platinum - remote not work

hi i got an old creative platinum sound card, with the white front bay.i have installed all of the software, but have no luck in getting the remote control to work. I have the power connector, connected to the box, and the ide cable connected to the sound card from the box, installed the latest software but still no joy
Any suggestions?
Robert Burton

Thanks! What a cool way to test IR remotes. It turns out that the remote was not working, as I suspected. I tested other remotes (TV, DVD) and I could see pink flashes on my digital camera LCD screen. So I removed the battery, played with the contacts inside, put the battery back in and the remote started working. Now everything works! I suspect that due to cheap construction the battery was not making proper contact with the contacts inside.
This is something that Creative should put in their FAQ since I suspect this is a fairly common problem.

Audigy 2 platinum drive not work

I have a Audigy 2 platinum and the front dri've is not working. The card itself is working fine. I see the red light coming out of the opitcal out so the power is plugged in. Is the cable the runs from the card to the dri've a regular IDE cable?
My specs:
P4 3.05/533
G ram
Asus P4P800-E motherboard

Hi,
Is the opitcal out light on on the dri've bay? I'm assuming this has never worked and its a new unit. Two things that may help you. In the BIOS check the PnP OS option (usually under PnP/PCI Config) and set this to No.
Also there is a utility called SBDRVDET.EXE...do you have this file on your system? Try manually running this file and see if this hel
ps.
This should be loadingo n startup so it its not it may point to a problem during the installation.
Hope this hel

Audigy 2 Platinum used to work fine, now it doesn'

Hi,
I've been using my audigy 2 Platinum to record myself playing guitar for the past 2 years. I have my guitar amp hooked up (via send input on the back of the amp) to the Line In 2 (MIC IN 2) input. Lots of the time ill be up late recording stuff, so i turn my master volume down on the amp (so it doesn't come out of the amp) and just have it come out of my pc speakers. This time, the sound thats comming out of the speakers is just ugly noise. When i'm not playing anything it just hums. When i play something it just sounds like crap. I thought at first it might just be the speakers, so i recorded something and listend to it on different speakers, sounded exactly the same. So next thing i tried was a different guitar amp. Same thing. So i then opened up my tower to see if anything looked strange, everything looks fine. Next i uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers thinking that might help, sure enough, no help. I came here and read the FAQs and tried anything that sounded like it might help. Still havn't the same problem. I am completly baffled now. Is it possible i could have damaged it the last time i used it's If anyone has any ideas for me please let me know. I am running WinXP service pack 2. Thanks
Edit. I have also tried different cables.Message Edited by zedfour on 09-20-2005 02:24 AMMessage Edited by zedfour on 09-20-2005 07:25 PM

Hi Louie,
Thanks for confirming that is the correct directory. I agree cloning directories isn't the proper solution and would like to help identify what actually went wrong. Perhaps a mapping was removed from CF Admin. It's intriguing that expandPath('/secure') resolves to the proper directory but <cfobject name="getreqstatus" component="secure.common.getreqstatus"> throws an error that it can't find the getreqstatus.cfc that's located in secure's "common" subdirectory.
Just to be clear, is C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion\bin\xxxx-Dev the website's root directory? And is there also an Application.cfc file at C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion\bin\xxxx-Dev\Application.cfc as well as the one at at C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion\bin\xxxx-Dev\secure\Application.cfc?
Could you create a file named bar.cfm w/ this code?
<cfscript>
writeOutput(expandPath("/secure"));//should return "C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion\bin\xxxx-Dev\secure"
writeOutput(" " & expandPath("/secure/common"));//should return "C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion\bin\xxxx-Dev\secure\common"
writeOutput(" " & expandPath("/secure/common/getreqstatus.cfc"));//should return "C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion\bin\xxxx-Dev\secure\common\getreqstatus.cfc"
writeOutput(" " & fileExists(expandPath("/secure/common/getreqstatus.cfc")));//should return "YES"
writeDump(var=new secure.common.getreqstatus(), format="text");//should return "[cfc1] component secure.common.getreqstatus"
</cfscript>
Then could you place a copy of that file at C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion\bin\xxxx-Dev\bar.cfm and C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion\bin\xxxx-Dev\secure\bar.cfm, and then run both (so basically, www.yourdomain.com/bar.cfm and www.yourdomain.com/secure/bar.cfm) and see what is displayed?
Edit: Please rename or remove the cloned directories (i.e. the /secure/common within the calling routine's directory) before running the above.
Thanks!,

SB AUDIGY 2 ZS PLATINUM - REMOTE NOT WORK

I've installed the SB 2 ZS Platinum into my new system and everything is working correctly except for the remote. I've removed the plastic strip from the battery compartment but when a button is pressed nothing seems to happen. I would expect to see a light on the front of the remote illuminate but it does not. Perhaps there is no light that illuminates when a button is pressed!!!! I would at least expect the volume controls to have an effect on the volume. Nothing happens. I have power to the face plate and the headphone jack and volume control do work. The IEEE 394 port is also working. Any suggestions?

OK, let's see, you have a device that is still under warranty. You properly installed said device. You put batteries in the remote but it does not work no matter what you try. It seems to me that you have only one option and you mentioned it in the penultimate sentence in your post.
Hope it's not a long dri've.:smileyvery-happy:

Audigy 2 platinum livedrive not working in wind

I just got my ZS Platinum after a brief stint with the Platinum Pro. Anywho, the card and li'vedri've work just fine in Linux, the headphone jack and volume knob at least. However in windows (not surprising) I am having some difficulty. No matter what I do the li'vedri've doesn't appear to be working. I plug in the headphones into the jack and my speakers keep playing, and nothing plays in the headphones. Plus the volume knob doesn't control the master volume. I've reinstalled the drivers about 3 or 4 times, half the time the card stops working at all. I know the li'vedri've works because A it works in Linux and B I can see the red light inside the optical out so I know its getting power. I'm rather stumped, the platinum pro worked just fine after installing the drivers. Any help would be much appreciated.

I have the same problem. My Audigy 2 EX Platinum doesnt work properly either. The master volume knob and the remote :-( (using the latest drivers)

maybe i could help you...

Audigy 2 Platinum remote cont

Whenever I press a button on my Creative remote control (after installing Mediasource and Remote control for the front dri've) which brings up the OSD, an error occurs a split second after the "processing" box appears. This error reads:
Runtime error!
Program: C:\P...
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.
Sometimes the menu will continue working, sometimes it will bomb out. It's annoying either way! I just used the software off the installation disc I got with the sound card years ago, I hardly expected Vista to sympathise. Will an update from the Creative support center fix it's It would be handy to use in conjuction with Media Center if that was at all possible, since it can of course support other software like media player to some extent.
Any suggestions appreciated!

Audigy 2 ZS digital out working in Vist

I can't listen anything with the digital out in vista, everything is coneted well and selcted optical out in speakers by default.... anybody working? please how to?ThanksMessage Edited by egde on 02-26-20070:44 PM

There are two types of transfering methods for digital signal - optical (fiber) and coaxial (wire).
If your card is plain A2Zs (no external Dri've or Digital I/O then, you're trying to get signal passed to external device through fiber cable (optical) when your connection type in Audigy is through wire (coaxial).
You need to use normal cable as like [mini jack plug] --> [RCA] (if you use std stereo mini jack plug to 2 x RCA cable, the tip is the hot in plug --> white RCA (I quess).
If your receiver does not have coaxial input for ext. sources then you need to get the Digital I/O from Creative or some othr coaxial to optical converter.
