What you describe sounds rather extreme, but this might have to do with wdm driver problems on Win98se. CL doesn't really publicize this much, and I don't know if its true for the newest cards, but it's been possible to install vxd drivers instead. I believe this has been an option in the ctzapxx program, so look for that program on your install CD (presuming you have been installing from CD) and try it.

PLEASE HELP Audigy 2 zs Platinum issue, reading noise from Line i

Hello, any help at all you can give will be greatly appreciated.
I recently installed my Audigy 2 zs Platinum on my computer, it was working fine until I began to record, It was working fine for the first 2 hours of recording however we disconnected the microphone from line in 2 and connected a bass guitar, then it started registering nosie from the line in 2 jack, we the disconnected the bass guitar and the noise continued. I have completly uninstalled all the creative drivers and reinstalled them, as well as checked the cable connections. I have noticed some other odd behaviors, if I plug headphones into the front microphone jack I do not hear static only a sort of blipping like that of a metranome. however if i use my speakers i hear large amounts of static with the blipping in the background, I also tested my speakers with a walkman and they play sound perfectly. All diagnostics tests have come back with everything passing. Any help you can give at all with this would be greatly appreciated.
I am running:
XP Pro with service pack 2 (installed a long time before sound card)
nvida graphics card
Pentium 4 with hyper threading
Syntax mother board
tdk cd dri've
maxtor hard dri've

Old_School,
A line level out shouldn't cause any problems but it may still be that there is a hardware problem here. To help diagnose this, I would ask that you cleansweep and reinstall the card. Use the instructions here to do this:

Plz Help: Audigy 2 ZS Probl

Hello Everyone at Creative/Forum Users! I'm new here so nice to meet you all...
I have a 5. speaker system using them with Audigy 2 ZS Platinum...
Scenario: When I'm calibrating the speakers .. I hear the correct sound through the right speaker... like when the person is identifying the speaker, it's the correct ones (rear ones work here)....all settings are on 5. ... but when i click to hear the 'Channel' or 'Noise' test in the creative program i hear the 'Rear Left' in the 'Front Left' and the 'Rear Right' in the 'Front Right' ... What is the problem?
My games aren't detecting the Surround Sound either ( GW:Nightfall and NFSC )
I've already tried uninstalling the drivers, restarting and installing either with my original cd driver / website driver ...
Thanks for anyone that dropped by!

I'm not sure if your webcam have AEC feature but if it does, you can try disabling it and see if it hel

hi, I am wondering if i connect the optical digital output in the front of the Audigy 2 ZS Platinum to my Logitech Z5500 optical digital input, will i be able to get sourround sound when i play CD or mp3 files? If it works, do i need to change some settings? Or is there a way i can get sourround sounds through the Z5500? If i cant get sourround sound, never mind. thanks alot.

The 4 pin connector is plugged in and the larger 4 pin connector is plugged into the power supply but I've got a spare power cable just like it that I want to try and I can't seem to unplug the smaller connector. Is it even possible to do this?

Optical Help - Audigy 2 ZS

Hi there
Today bought the above card off a friend to use the 5. optical out.
Installed all drivers etc and i have no optical on my windows (vista).
How do i activate it's I'm going in through the Breakout box.
Also, Im currently connected through SPDIF and it's only outputting stereo, how can i make it output 5.
The left speaker also crackles when using this connection and i'm not sure why!
0 internets to anyone that can help me!
Thanks
Ste

Witout the Dolby Li've encoder all you'll get out of an spdif is a stereo PCM signal.
You need Creative's DDL or redocneXk.

My sub works but no sound plz help audigy

i have audigy 2zs and 5. sicuro all works but sub

Go to the EAX panel and shut off all effects, then run the speaker tests. Also, I found (Using an O-scope checking the voltage levels of a properly terminated channel) that the output voltage level of the subwoofer channel is 20% of the other 5 channels.
My solution was to spend $50 and buy an ARTcessories HEADAMP and some cables/adapters to give it some gain. Even with the?HEADAMP maxed, I'd like more so I could shake the floor apart with my 0W RMS/CH Peavey amps and JBLs. Very close to happy.
Got some 60 cycle hum out of the 2zs card (very, very low) I can't get rid of though. Even after attaching EVERYTHING (but the mouse and keyboard) to the master grounding block for the entire house with individually run #0 wires. Even when the PC is off. Interesting.

PLEASE HELP: AUDIGY 4 REMOTE BIG DISAPPOINTM

Hello,
I need a fix for the rm-500 controller. This huge screen that I'm getting when I try to use it is really lame and it's freaking me out. You know that blue screen some sadist called "entertainment center" that takes over the whole monitor. You can't minimize it, there's nothing you can do about it but turn it off. I want to be able to control with this remote other progs like winamp etc., the way it is with Audigy 2. I'm sure there is a hack somewhere. I can't imagine other owners of this card not using the remote it came with! Please share. Any valuable info is greatly appreciated.
P.S. Also there's no support for the most popular m3u playlist format? This just cannot be. Is there an update or hack to fix this? Thanks again

Finally got in touch with tech support. They said that other programs are supported and that I need to reinstall. I need some feedback please. From what I heard so far was that other programs/devices are disabled for rm-500. Thanks

Please Help:(,Unable to capture from camcorder using Audigy 2 ZS Video Edi

Hi there! Well I have been trying to use the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 zs video editor to transfer Hi8 tapes from my camcorder (Samsung SLC860) to my laptop (Compaq presario, AMD Athlon 64 3200+, .25 GB RAM, xp). I have successfully done this before *sort of*. Before i was able to capture video from my camcorder without the sound. But now I cant even capture video! I get an error when using Ulead VideoStudio 8 SE reading: 5065:29:0. Please help, anything would be great! Thank you! Oh, i've tried reinstalling the drivers already, didnt work. P.S. I connect the camcorder to the Creative Audigy using S-Video. I have also tried A/V out from the camcorder to video-in on the Audigy. I have also downloaded VidCap and other driver updates from Creative but those didn't work either. I've tried VidCap other capture programs, none worked. Any help would be great. Thank you!

Hi there! Thanks for the reply, unfortunately, I've tried VidCap and it wont let me capture either. The Start button on Step 3 isn't acti've. Its not bold, and when i click on it nothing happens. But under device manager and Sound, Video and game controllers, there are alot of things. They are as followed: Audio Codecs, Legacy Audio Drivers, Legacy Video Capture Drivers, Media Control Devices, Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor Audio Device, Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor Video Device, SoundMAX Intergrated Digital Audio, Video Codecs. Do you think any of these could be interfering with one another? If so, which ones can be safely disabled? I've also tried downloading all the necessary updates for VidCap and I've even tried reinstalling the Audigy card many times. I am able to see the preview of the video on both programs VidCap and VideoStudio but I just can't capture. Once again, the error message on VideoStudio is: 5065:29:0. Thank you so much, hopefully I hear from ya soon and this can be fixed.

Creative Audigy Platinum Installation Help with Pentium 4 3.2GHz HT Enab

:mansad:
Dear Fellows,I have recently upgraded to a new Pentium 4 machine. The config is as follows:Pentium 4 3.2eGHz MB cache HT (Hyper-Threading Enabled)Intel Original 865GBF MainboardGB Kingston DDR 400MHz RAM20GB SATA WD HDDSound Blaster Audigy PlatinumATI RADEON 8500 DV 64MBThe problem I am facing is with Audigy Platinum. Once I install the operating system (Win XP) and move to the installation of Creative Audigy Platinum Sound card. All the applications are installed and the system hangs while updating *drivers*. I restarted but it corrupts the whole operating system conflicting with Display Driver, Mainboard driver as well as Windows. CD/DVD Rom also disappear. I then reinstalled operating system again. I would like to request for help and solving this issue and I dont want to get rid of Creative Audigy. I have heard complaints with Hyper-threading technology but I disabled it and the same problem occured. I tried everything e.g. latest drivers from Creative website, BIOS updates, Driver updates etc etc. The problem starts once the drivers are to be updated for Creative Audigy Platinum.Anticipating your response soon.Regards,

Hi Jeremy,
I would like to thank you for your kind assistance with my problem.
Heres the good news, I finally managed to install and run my Creative Audigy Platinum perfectly.
Credit goes to your assitance and support.
For your info, I would like you to know what I really did.
I have an Intel Genuine 865GBF mainboard. I installed clean copy of Windows XP (SP) and downloaded and installed latest Chipset INF utility from Intel website. I guess this utility tells the mainboard what kind of hardware is configured on the board.
Please note that I did not add any PCI card except the AGP graphics card.
After finishing Windows XP, I installed the Creative Audigy Card in a different PCI slot. When windows started, it detected the sound card installed.
I simply ran the driver and programs from the Creative CD and it installed perfectly. I then updated the drivers downloaded from the Sound Blaster site in correct order.
After finishing with Creative Audigy Platinum installation. I installed other hardware devices, service packs, AV and applications.
Its the third day and everything is running well.
I just wrote the steps if someone else faces the same problem, he/she can sort it out the same way.
Thanks again for your help.
Best regards,

Just disable the gameport on "Device Manager" to see if it's the culprit.
Have you also played with mouse settings (acceleration and saple rate)?

I can get itunes to start if I disable Bonjour or if I "repair" it first. Sometimes I can repair Bonjour though add/remove programs, sometimes it will only "repair" using WinRar. Sometimes I have to "repair" Bonjour 2 or 3 times to get iTunes to start.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling at least a dozen times. I have tried redownloading iTunes at least 5 times and from different links. This leads me to believe that the dnssd.dll file is not itself corrupt, but this newest version is causing a conflict with XP somewhere somehow.
Team, iTunes 10.2.2.12 has just been released. I installed it and checked, and BonJour's been updated to version 2.0.5.0, and there's a new 2.0.5.0 version of dnssd.dll on my system. So I reckon it's worth a try updating to that to see if it's of any help with your trouble.

Everything seems to be OK so it's propably the drivers for your modem that is causing the issue. Just try if updating them helps anything.
Also, you can turn the MPU-40 (onboard MIDI/Game port) if you dont need it.

Help - Need Line in and Aux inputs active at the same time..... Audigy SE

The company I work for purchased 3,000 of the Audigy SE? SB0570 sound cards to replace our aging original SB6 PCI cards used in our call centers. The application and Hardware require that the AUX connector and the Line in connector are both acti've at the same time in order for things to work properly.
Problem is that when I go into the mixer settings (or windows volume controls) when I select one of the inputs to go acti've, it mutes the other two inputs (mic, line-in, or AUX). Does anyone know of a work around to let me activate the AUX and/or Line-in/Mic at the same time??
Our workstations run Windows 2000? (but as a test, I?loaded up another PC with XP SP2 and it exibits the same problems)
Thanks in advance for your help.

We are using the internal AUX in connector to take audio from a vendors custom card, and at the same time we have to take audio in on the flexi-jack input on the rear of the card. The original SB PCI cards we have been using for 5 years allowed us to do this, but these new ones do not. I wrote an e-mail to Creative Tech support and here is their response: Basically it is a no go, so I am now looking at other manufactures that can support our requirements. Good news is that I contacted our supplier today and they are willing to take back all of the cards that are still sealed in their original packaging... about 2,800 of them.

HELP: Updating to new Beta OpenAL Audigy 2 ZS drivers has permanently screwed my PC

WHY I AM IN THIS MESS:
Here is something silly I did: I tried to use the latest Beta drivers for my Audigy 2 ZS. I followed the Creative procedure, and as expected, I lost the functionality of the EAX console etc. I couldn't see any increase at all in any games (framerate was the same) so I immediately used System Restore to go back to my previous driver set.
Guess what? EAX and the other apps wouldn't work there either! SO basically, it had ruined my entire creative installation, even though I did exactly what they said and took precautions (system retore) to make sure everything was okay.
So, of course, I think 'I'll make sure I put this right, I'll use the Creative 'CleanSweep' procedures to remove and then reinstall my drivers'.
I did this, and guess what now? It wouldn't let me install the Driver CD apps, as the 'cleansweep' has left dozens of bits of junk littering my hard disk and registry. Eventually, after much much work I finally get the apps to install. Everything appears hunky-dory...
Guess what? It isn't. I now get a 'pop/click' sound at the end of sound effects in games. Not all sounds, but enough to make them unplayable. For example in Unreal 2004, I fire the assault rifle and there is a click at the end, in IL2 I fire the guns and every round has a crackle at the end. In any game that plays speech (like NASCAR, Indycar, IL2, Combat Flight Sim 3) there is a click.static at the end of the speech sample. Also, when games load and the soundcard is accessed for the first time there is a burst of static or clicking, also when games close down - not all games however. The problems do not ocurr in Counterstrike Source, unless I play for about an hour and then when a lot of sound effects are playing it gets all crackly and static-filled. None of these effects existed in any of these games before. There are no sound problems with MP3s, video, midi etc (although there is sometimes a click at the end of playing an MP3 - this was also not there before).
This is NOT an EAX problem, as in Unreal 2004 even in 'safe' sound mode (and every other setting) the noise is still there. Same in IL2, all settings same noise.
Needless to say, I am highly annoyed, especially as EXACTLY THE SAME THING happened on my old computer with an Audigy over two years ago after a driver update. In that case, I had used system restore and everything had been okay.
MY CURRENT SITUATION:
I have just removed everything Creative from my computer, including all registry keys, all Temp references, everything, have followed all the advice given about conflicts etc. I have used the latest Driver Cleaner to get rid of the hidden files creative leaves in your windows system folder. As far as the PC is concerned, there has never been a soundblaster card in this computer. I have reinstalled the original drivers from the retail CD - JUST the drivers.....and it's still there. I still have exactly the same pop/crackle after sound effects. Let me just stress that the system hardware and applications have not been altered - this only started ocurring after installing the Beta drivers.
How can this be happening after I have done a completely clean install, and everything else is as it was when the PC was working fine?
I have even gone to the extent of removing my old PCI modem in case of any conflicts, but it's just the same.
If anyone has had this problem (remember this is not a constant hiss/crackle/pop it is only after sound effects and accessing the card for the first time in apps) and has managed to fix it, please let me know. I'm sure a lot of other people have had this nightmare too - I mean I've had it myself on my old PC!
P.S. HELP ME.

Hi, Franky,
I had the same problems with my Audigy 2 ZS and beta driver, brother. I tried everthing- defragmentation, system restore, clean WIN XP- installation- nothing could resolve clicking and framerate drops in games. Then I remembered a MICROSOFT- article about increasing your sound performance. Go to hardware manager and check, whether DMA is selected for your hard dri've. I use a mobile rack for my hard dri'ves and those were incorrectly recognised by my BIOS. Simply activated DMA- by BIOS for the hard dri've- voila, no more sound stuttering !
I guess you suffer from BIOS or data transfer problem. I hope that this hint was helpful !
Drop me a line, if this resolves your problem !
Good night !
