[size="4" color="#9933ff">?[size="4" color="#9933ff">I have the Audigy 2 gamers sound card (LOVE IT) and a 5. speaker package setup to it. I have a vizio 32 inch LCD TV that I have my computer hooked up to through the DVI port on my video card and running into the HDMI port on my TV. I want to know what would be the best way if possible to hook up my TV to this sound card to get the best possible sound out of it through the 5. speaker package I have. Even if it has to be out of the red/white jacks coming out of the TV, so be it. I have a digital optical port on my computer and a digital optical on my TV. I am not sure if the the digi/opt on my computer is an in or out though, It is an Alienware computer. Again, any help you can give to gettting the best sound possible out of this would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks.........

I believe your Audigy 2 gamer soundcard has a Digital out only. But, you can use the Analog Audio output L+R AUDIO on the HDTV to the Line-In on the soundcard.

Connecting Audigy 2 ZS card to an Audigy Platinum EX 'Audigy Dri

I would like to connect the 'Audigy Dri've' from my Audigy Platinum EX setup to my new Audigy 2 ZS card. It seems to be physically possible - connect the Audigy 2 ZS to the Platinum EX's expansion card with the AD_EXT cable, then the expansion card to the Platinum dri've with the DS cable (I haven't looked into power supply connection issues yet). I'm wondering if there's any fundemental incompatibility between the two despite the possibility of physical connectivity. Anyone have any ideas?
Cheers,
Gareth

It looks like someone asked something similar about a year or so ago, and a moderator stated simply 'no'. Any explanation of why?

Audigy 2 sound card problems

I am hoping that someone out there can help me in a crucial situation.
I am using an Audigy 2 sound card with creative 5. speakers.
I also use Adobe Audition to edit, record sessions for my voice-over jobs.
Recently, I attempted to hook up a web cam so that I could see my grand daughter on the west coast.
After hooking up the web cam, I noticed my home studio environment changed drastically. I began having trouble with recording using my microphone through my Macki mixer. I began hearing a continuous hiss that I had never experienced before.
In fact after uninstalling the web cam, and restarting my computer, I got that horrible blue screen on my computer indicating the world was about to end! Smile
Long story short, I was able to finally get my computer back up, but I continue to experience problems recording "clean' audio".
Three things, after reinstalling Creative from disc several times and restarting my computer I receive a window stating Creative Media Source Detector.....Unable to load needed components....Please reinstall the application"
Also, when trying to test my sound hardware I get a message stating...Direct play voice setup..."an error occurred during direct play voice setup....error code 0x80004005
Last but not least I cannot access the "Creative diagnostic feature on my computer. I only get a small window for this feature that will not open up fully and allow me to run a diagnostic test!
I know this is a lot to absorb, but I cannot get anyone from Creative to address my problems because I am out of warranty and therefore not getting any love from this company.
Need your advice and or guidance on this.
Please respond when time allows.

Re: Audigy 2 sound card problems? use add/remove programs and remove all creative software and drivers, then do the same for your web cam and unplug it
restart your pc
download and install [url="http://downloads.guru3d.com/Guru3D---Driver-Sweeper-%28Setup%29-download-655.html" rel="nofollow">driver sweeper[/url] and use it to clean up any left over creative bits and bobs and restart your pc when it asks you to
now download and install the [url="http://support.creative.com/Products/product_list.aspx?catID=&CatName=Sound+Blaster" rel="nofollow">latest audigy drivers[/url]
once your back in to windows try recording something and see if everything's back to normal
now reinstalling your web cam but don't reinstall using the cd that came with it
find the manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers
install cd's best avoided simply because the software and drivers they contain are typically the initial release versions, and so potentially very old
and i think we can all agree that old, buggy drivers can be a real pain

SB Audigy External drive (SB0110) + SB Audigy 2 ZS card (SB0350) =

Hi,
I was wondering if there was a way to hook up the Sound Blaster Audigy External dri've (SB00) that came with the SB Audigy Platinum EX package to the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS card (SB0350) and if so, could somebody please explain to me what i need to do to get it done? I hooked them up together but i couldn't really get the drivers to work so i'd really like to know if it's even possible to do that.
Thank you !Message Edited by DjStik93 on 07-09-2006 07:02 PM

Hello!
Is this 00% that is not compatible to a Audigy 2 ZS with a AUD_EXT header?
Is it not the same?

Audigy 2 Value card starting to

Well like clockwork, my second Audigy 2 Value card is starting down the path of death. I've had this second one for close to 6 months, and like the first one I had when it started dying, mysteriously changed the speaker settings from 5. to 2.. My first Audigy 2 Value card did this after about 4 to 5 months, and then popping and crackling came. I don't hold any breath that this, my second Audigy 2 Value card will hold the speaker settings and won't have popping and crackling sooner or later. I don't get this one bit, as I've just recently built a dual core AMD machine and here are the specs. ASUS A8R-MVPAMD Athlon 4200+ X22GB of PC3200 memoryATI Radeon X800XTSB Audigy 2 Value card20GB Western Digital SATA harddri've, & a 200GB Western Digital Serial ATA harddri'veLG 6X DVDROM, and an LG DVDREWRITERWindowsXP Service Pack 2 with all updates?I've checked, and I'm using the January drivers for my SB Audigy 2 Value card, and for all my other hardware, including the ULi serial ATA controller on the motherboard. I just can't figure out why after close to 6 months, that on my second Audigy 2 Value card, it has started dying like the first one. I'm about ready to bail out entirely on Creative Labs soundcards.

AFAIK, common PC mic inputs are mono, usually plus condensor power (I think it's tip=signal, ring=power, sleeve=ground). This doesn't make a stereo mic "useless," but you'd have to use only one of its signals and rig up an adapter of some sort to use one.
Perhaps you can enlighten me about what a stereo mic is by industry practices where they are commonly found? It is 2 mono mics in a package, or a mono mic with duplicated outputs (for connection convenience I suppose)?
A USB mic probably won't be well-integrated with use of the soundcard. Soundcard mic amps don't have the best reputation for quality. If you're serious, a better approach is probably to either use an external mic preamp, or a mixer mic input, and connect the preamp/mixer line-out to the soundcard line-in.

Audio front panel connection to 10pin Audigy 2 ZS card head

This can't be rocket science. Various manufacturers (e.g. HP and DELL) produce an OEM cable which connects the 0pin card header on Audigy ZS sound cards with their front panel MIC and PHONES jacks.
There have been discussions on various sites for a while on this topic, but they all experience problems (e.g. http://audigy2zshowto.blogspot.com/ ).
The one thing that the OEM cables have in common is that the manufacturers' front panels adhere to the AC'97 front panel format (e.g. http://www.formfactors.org/developer%5Cspecs%5CA2928604.pdf and http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa/ftp/datasheets/intel/30234902_ICH6.pdf ). They don't appear to be using the Intel High Definition Audio alternati've to AC'97.
So, it should be very simple to map each of the 0 pins (on the x0 header) on the Audigy sound card to each of the 0 pins (on the 2x5 header) that the AC'97 standard specifies (and which HP and DELL use). OK, I know that pin 8 on the 2x5 is a "peg" and so there may be some redundancy on the x0 connector, but there should be a robust mapping that enables the muting functions to work properly and for there to be decent microphone performance.
So, what is the mapping? Someone from DELL, HP and Creative must know. (Let's make it simple as well, let's answer this like "when connecting the x0 to the 2x5 then pin maps to pin x, pin 2 to pin y, pin 3 to pin z and so on".)
Once I get some answers I'll also provide a full parts and tools list for people wanting to make cables of their own.

Hi Avi,
The Audigy 2 dri've should be compatible with an Audigy 2 ZS card, so yes.

Problems with ASIO on multiple Audigy 2 ZS cards

G'day,
I've been using an Audigy 2ZS PCI for a couple of years now with great success. I convert old audio recordings to various digital formats using a couple of applications (mainly Adobe Audition 1.5 & 2.0).
Recently, my workload has increased to the point where I needed one card to just record at high res, and another card to handle just playback and general Windows bells & whistles without impacting the performance of the recording.
I installed a second 2ZS, it was detected by Windows, etc, and I set it up so Windows uses one card (identified as A800) for all its stuff, and the second card (B000) is used only for ASIO recording.
That's where the nightmare started. I've uploaded and installed the May 2006 Creative driver update, but I still suffer from a number of problems, some related to Audition, some not.
The least annoying problem is that all the Creative drivers seem to identify only a truncated version of the ID string. So for example, in various applications, I see "SB Audigy 2ZS [B0 -1" or "SB Audigy 2ZS [A8 -5". This is annoying but not showstopping.
The biggest problem is getting applications to correctly interact with the Creative Labs ASIO driver and enumerator. Most applications (Nero, Audition, Premiere Pro) can "see" the ASIO driver, but when it's selected, it may not work at all, or may work from one or the other sound card, without any clear indication of which card is selected.
I'm sorry if this sounds generic, but I've spent a week with the Adobe folks, who simply ended up telling me "it's a problem with the CL drivers", and most forums I frequent say the same thing, and the specifics vary from application to application, but at the core, CL drivers are just not working properly with the system when two cards are installed.
By way of example, using ASIO4ALL has fixed many of the card selection problems, but even there, sometimes the inputs of one card are disabled, sometimes the other card, and in the middle of a recording session (line in jack, 44.1k/16 bit), the input waveform slowly biases down to -2V and then all I get are inverted samples - quiet appears as max. value samples, while valid audio appears as -2V samples! If I put the audio line into the other card, it plays just fine (I know what I'm doing WRT grounding and line levels, etc).
This system has run essentially non-stop since September 2005, and I guess it collected a lot of software crud, so I bit the bullet and performed a clean reinstall of Windows XP and updated every driver I could. Some problems have since changed for the better (i.e. clicking on the configure button of the CL ASIO driver no longer bluescreens or displays an empty window), but the problems described above still happen all the time.
I was wondering if other users have seen the same or similar problems, and if so, what has worked for you?
The system is a Gigabyte 81PE1000Pro2, PCI bus, 3.2GHz P4 with HT enabled, 2G physical RAM, and a 1.5Tb RAID disk system.
Recording when a single sound card (either of the cards works beautifully on its own) is perfect; just when both cards are installed, everything gets confused! Even the WDM drivers don't correctly identify or manage the routing of inputs and outputs reliably.
Sorry to go on about this. If anyone can offer constructive suggestions (I define "constructive" as not telling me to "buy another type of card" or (as one poor soul suggested) telling me that multiple PCI sound cards are not supported under Windows), I would be most grateful.
Thanks and regards,
Peter

G'day Jutapa, thanks for looking at this!
Yeah, I got all the possible ASIO drivers listed, one CL ASIO driver is listed for each card, and I have spent much time trying different configurations of card order, I/O port order, direct sound enabling/disabling, timesync enable/disable, etc.
The problem for me with the CL ASIO drivers is that it limits me to 48/96k sampling only. That is not acceptable, because I need to sample at 44.1k for "straight" conversions to CD, or 192k/24-bit for archival purposes (used for extremely old or fragile recordings), so I end up with large files that nearly always need to be resampled to 44.1k, or saved permanently at 192k/24-bit. Typical filesize is 650Mb, largest so far is 5.66Gb - so that's an awful lot of time spent downsampling or pointless upsampling. I'm starting to think that the problems I'm experiencing may be due to sampling at "non-native" ASIO or WDM rates. I haven't tried sampling at 48/96k to see if that "fixes" the problem...
Using the WDM wrapper drivers (I don't know if these are provided - or supported! - by Creative or Adobe) results in randomly disabling one or the other Audigy. At that point, the only way to recover functionality for the disabled card is to reboot. Sometimes only the inputs are disabled, sometimes only the outputs, sometimes both. There is no pattern that I can see or duplicate.
Both cards appear to work fine under Windows. I can define either card as the default recording or playback device, and I can define one card as the default recording and the other as the default playback, any combination works fine. However, any application that uses WDM drivers to access the cards also get confused when a card's inputs suddenly become disabled! This does not appear to happen when Windows is the only application using the cards.
Specifying "use preferred devices" in Windows does disable the non-selected card (or card input or output if I specify different cards for input and output) in other applications.
The problems are much worse when I try to use any ASIO drivers to access the cards. This problem with ASIO appears regardless of the application I use.
I have installed ASIO4ALL, and it finds and configures the cards without any problems in ALL applications - but if I'm recording (with no other applications or drivers or tray applications loaded or active), when I stop recording and restart, the input I was just recording from appears disabled! If I open the ASIO4ALL configuration window, one or both Audigy cards will have their inputs disabled, or both inputs AND outputs disabled. This doesn't happen all the time, and my workaround is not to stop recording once I've started. Not a good workaround! I do realise that ASIO4ALL does fiddle around with the sample rates in the background, but at least when it works, I get a single clean sample without having to do all the resource-intensive resampling later. Maybe it's 6 of one, 1/2 dozen of the other...
I understand and appreciate that perhaps CL never intended to provide software functionality for more than one Audigy on any given PCI bus/bridge. I just don't get why the drivers appear to work natively under Windows (I'm assuming that Windows just uses WDM access) but not with any other applications.
I will try and do some testing with "native" ASIO sample rates (i.e. 48/96k) and see if that fixes some or all of the problems. My concern here is really that my expectation is that the drivers, once identified and enabled, should not suddenly disable themselves in all applications (by whatever mechanism), regardless of what sample rates are specified. But maybe that's too much to expect.
BTW, this happens with any combination of 2 of my 3 Audigy 2ZS cards, each of which works perfectly on its own with ASIO and WDM drivers. So it's definitely a multiple card issue.
The workaround that has been suggested is to purchase a different vendor's card : but there are so few cards that I can use to sample at the resolutions I require, and they are all so bloody expensive, that's why I've committed so much to CL Audigy 2ZS.
I'll get back to you once I've tried a few days working at the "standard" ASIO sample rates. Thanks again for taking the time with this stupid and unusual problem!
Kind regards,
Peter

Samplitude 2496 and Audigy 4 sound card problem any suggestions please

Hello
I have a problem. I have installed Audigy 4. All looks good. I am editing music in a software called Samplitude 2496. But I simply cannot playback. I beleive Samplitude needs ASIO support to be able to playback. A window pops up when ever I try to playback saying
"Cannot open waveform output device 'SB Audigy 4[D800]'!
"The specified format is not support or cannot be translated. Use the capabilities function to determine the supported format".
I cannot find any ASIO in my system yet Audigy 4 says it has ASIO2 support. Does this mean Audigy software has the ASIO or does this mean I need to download the ASIO for the Samplitude playback.
Any suggestions most welcome urgently.
Thank you Philip

If you have installed Creative bundled drivers for your card, ASIO drivers are installed already. Check on Samplitude Audio settings, if you see those drivers listed there -> NOTE:! you need to select ASIO 24/96 driver for 24/96 data. AFAIK, other (two) CT ASIO drivers supports 6/48 only (least this is the situation w/ Audigy 2).
You can find more information on ASIO @

Updated Audigy 2 Sound Card Drivers.... now speakers don't mu

I have a Sound Blaster Audigy 2. I updated the drivers for the first time in 3 years yesterday. I'm now using the Driver set: 5.2.4.96.
However, the bad news is that when I plug in my headphones to the USB port, the sounds still comes over the speakers and not over the headphones. The microphone works and I can hear my friends on ventrilo. But games sounds come through the speakers. I checked my settings in the Audio HQ and 'mute speakers when using headphones' is checked. Also, in order for my headset to work at all with ventrilo, I had to default sound device to my headphones and not to the sound card.
Prior to the new drivers, everything worked perfectly. After the drivers install, I'm having problems. Any thoughts as to what is going on?
Thanks.Message Edited by boojiboy on 04-6-200703:43 PM

Last try... bump #3. One additional piece of info, after working on and off on this for over a week, I'm suspicious that the previous driver set didn't not complete uninstall and thus, I have some sort of of driver conflict. I've followed the FAQs to the letter on uninstall and reinstall procedures. No luck.

Audigy Drive bay not 'seen' by Audigy 2 ZS card....Help!!!

As it says, have physically linked bay to card.....but bay just wont 'wake up'
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks
Kev/UK?

I have this card and I have had the problem you are having. This occurs for two reason,
) You have the data cable reversed on one end of the connection. This is a PIN labeled on both the card and the dri've bay. Match the pink edge of your cable to PIN on both the card and dri've bay.
2) you have not plugged in the four pin power adapter on the dri've bay from your power supply. Check both of these things, correct the problem if it exists with your computer powered off, and power up again and recheck your audigy control panel to see if the dri've is now visible

Audigy 2 ZS card playing back everything in mono...

..or thats what it seems like at least. If I listen to a song with a part (like a guitar solo) thats supposed to pan between the speakers, nothing changes and it just sounds big, flat, and dull with no instruments in their specific respecti've places in the stereo field. Whenever I do the speaker diagnostics, it says "left channel" in both the left and right speakers. And the same thing happens for the right channel in both speakers. I'm using the Logitech X 530 speakers, but it also did this with my old Creative 5. speakers. Can anyone help me? Im using the latest drivers for the card and it only does this for the front speakers. The rear channels don't cross over like the front speakers do.

I think that should be everything relevant from the dxdiag. Also, I originally purchased the card from HP for an HP Pavilion computer.

Audigy 2 ZS card appears to have microphone connections cros

I have purchased earlier in Feb of this year the Audigy 2 ZS. After inspection of the card, I have discovered that the microphone input jack is somehow cross wired, which makes a standard sterio microphone useless. Therefor, I would like to know if a USB microphone will fit the purpose of a microphone for this system?
Thanks to all that repond in advance.

AFAIK, common PC mic inputs are mono, usually plus condensor power (I think it's tip=signal, ring=power, sleeve=ground). This doesn't make a stereo mic "useless," but you'd have to use only one of its signals and rig up an adapter of some sort to use one.
Perhaps you can enlighten me about what a stereo mic is by industry practices where they are commonly found? It is 2 mono mics in a package, or a mono mic with duplicated outputs (for connection convenience I suppose)?
A USB mic probably won't be well-integrated with use of the soundcard. Soundcard mic amps don't have the best reputation for quality. If you're serious, a better approach is probably to either use an external mic preamp, or a mixer mic input, and connect the preamp/mixer line-out to the soundcard line-in.
