Help: SB Audigy Platinum EX box drive

I can't seem to get the external box on my Sound Blaster Audigy EX to work. I don't have the CD for it. Does it need extra drivers? If so, cand I download them from somewhere? I got the audigy drivers, and the card itself is putting out sound just fine.
I DO have a CD for the Audigy 2ZS, if that helps in anyway...

Hi there,
I'm sure you can get all the drivers you need from creatives site. however, just to be sure it's functioning check the connections inside your case. Check that all the cables inside the case that connect the two cards together are properly connected. I was messed up by this twice, and I'm resonably tech savvy.
you should also check to see if there is a red light comming out of the optical out on the front of the audigy (dont stare straight at it!) .. if the light is there when your pc is in windows. then it's most likely that it is connected correctly. if it's not, the box is not powered and will not be detected.
i believe this is the link to the drivers you need.

  • Audigy Platinum ex disc drive power sup

    Just made the mistake of buying a new pc and trying to fit my soundcard, the original platinum ex.
    It would appear that i cannot plug into the PSU power supply, even using the Y connector provided.
    The only spare power cable in a 3.5 mini female socket, which would be great, but it doesnt reach.
    I cannot find a 3.5 to 3.5 mini male to female extension cable... can anyone help at all? i've googled it to death.
    I cant afford a new soundcard and i've just bought this new pc, i just don't know what to do. do the new audigys require power supply?

    I checked the cords multiple times and reinstalled the drivers multiple times. I have recently discovered that the dri've only doesnt get full power when Line-in 3 (the RCA connection on the back) is connected to the output of my mixing board (eurorack mx604A). If i unplug the cable from the mixer, the external dri've's power light returns to full strength and upon reboot, the volume knob actually syncs with the volume control in windows. However, Now I get never-ending static and popping from the PCI output and I still do not get any sound through the headphone jack on the external dri've.
    There seems to be some bleed-through or something from the inputs on the external dri've. currently when monitoring the cards output through the PCI card, I get severe static/popping if i unmute line-in 3 (RCA jacks) but the other two only produce static intermittantly. I have never succeeded in getting anything to play through the headphonesMessage Edited by uhmerika on 06-23-2006 03:2 PM

  • 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,

  • Audigy Platinum driv

    Hi all, and a big hello from a beginner in this forum!
    I'm going to download new drivers for my old Audigy Platinum (200), the file name is: sabx_webup_lb_2_08_0004.
    My question is: does it works good?
    One year ago I downloaded a driver from this site and my XP SP2 crashed!!
    Does it worth, anyway? I have no problems with my sound card and I don't know if it is really necessary to update the driver...
    Maybe anyone installed the new driver and had problems?
    Thank you.

  • HELP! Cant get my Audigy Platinum to re-inst

    I'm trying to reinstall my SB Audigy Platinum on a new computer. Actually, I get sound out of the card just fine - but I'm trying to install the programs from the original SB installation disk and when I do, it seems to partially install, but not completely. When I restart the computer, I get a window saying that its completing the sound card installation - but nothing happens from there. Oh, it also, at this point, is asking for my printer installation disk??
    The computer shop may have installed some other SB software - maybe its in conflict? ... . I'm stumped.. maybe my original SB disk is bad.. ?
    Help?

    Could it be that I am on a Mac and on a PC you can access these panels without opening a page?
    No, the differences between the Mac and PC versions of Dreamweaver are infinitessimal. There were quite a lot of differences several versions ago, but the CS3 versions are almost identical on both platforms. CS4 brings them even closer.
    Following tutorials in a book is a good way to learn (at least, I hope it is - I write books about Dreamweaver myself). However, books can take you only so far. You need to start experimenting yourself. I wonder what will happen if I do that? Ooh, that's interesting! Eugh, I'll remember not to do that again...
    That's how I learned about Dreamweaver - experimentation. Try it. It's fun, although a bit scary at times.

  • Audigy Drive on Audigy Platinum Not Recogni

    I have a custom built (read, I built it myself) AMD 2200 XP with GB Ram and a 420 W Power Supply. It has a Soyo Dragon KT333 Ultimate Platinum motherboard. I have had it up and running for about 2 years and the Audigy Platinum Sound Card works beautifully. However, I have NEVER been able to get Windows XP Pro to recognize the Audigy Dri've that goes in the 5.25 in. Dri've Bay. It hasn't been a big deal, because my computer has been out of it's cubby hole for the last two years for various other reasons. However, I now want to put it where it belongs and would like to get it working before I put it away. The cables are all hooked up right. I have tried fi've different connections from my power supply and still can't get any indication of power being supplied to it or get XP Pro to see it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Russ

    Falcondfw,
    Since you have tried multiple power adaptors one thing to check would be to see if the Red Light on the optical out (after removing the cover that is) ever comes on. If it doesn't then it is most likely a hardware problem and you will want to have the dri've repaired. This can be arranged by contacting Technical Support, here is the page that has their contact information:

  • Can breakaway box from Audigy Platinum eX connect to Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium HD?

    I have been happily using the Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum eX for a decade or so but it is now time to build a new box. The Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium HD seems to be the card for me and it does have a multi-pin connection that seems to match the one on the legacy card. The legacy card has the best external box I have yet seen, the perfect combination of inputs, outputs, and controls and I would dearly love to keep using it. Does anyone know if the two items are compatible?

    Thanks, I was afraid that might be the case. Would the legacy card work with Windows 7 perhaps or has the audio stack changed too drastically from Windows XP to Windows 7? I am loathe to give up this breakaway box, I have never seen another with this many i/o ports and features.

    6Using an Audigy Platinum Li've Dri've bay with Windows 7` I bought this card/bay a long time ago:

    In XP and possibly in Vista I could get basic functions out of the card, but the EAX control panel didn't really work anymore. I used to use the remote control, plug in my guitar and use effects, etc. I'd really like to be able to do that again. Anyone know?

  • Dear Jeremy-CL ! Please help me with SB1394 Audigy Platinum ex issue

    I have an Audigy Platinum Ex for 4 years and very satisfied . But now i had to install Windows XP SP2 .My firewire sb394 began malfunction with Premier Pro ,5 . Under Windows XP SP everything goes well . With rear motherboard FireWire connector everything works well , but not so comfort like using external Dri've . How can I resolve this problem ? And is it possible to connect internal sb394 cable from Audigy Platinum ex Dri've , to motherboard ASUS P4P800E deluxe internal connector ? It seems to me that they are similar . Best regards from Russia / thank you ! Alexander

    You can try this if you have nerves to do it:
    . Get Windows XP SP install CD
    2. Find following files and uncompress them if necessary
    - 394bus.sys (5..2600.06 xpsp.020828-920)
    - arp394.sys (5..2600.06 xpsp.020828-920)
    - enum394.sys (5..2600.0)
    - nic394.sys (5..2600.06 xpsp.020828-920)
    - ohci394.sys (5..2600.06 xpsp.020828-920)
    - 394.inf (5..2535.0)
    3. Open command prompt, type sfc /purgecache and press enter key
    4. Copy file 394.inf to C:\WINDOWS\INF overwriting existing file
    5. Copy files with names ending in .sys to C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache
    6. Copy all .sys files to C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers overwriting existing files
    7. If windows asks for CD cancel it to prevent it to restore files
    8. Double check if the files you copied are still there and if not repeat from step 3 until you get it right
    9. Uninstall firewire adapter from device manager
    0. Reboot and pray
    Basically that should force your XP SP2 to use Firewire drivers from XP SP. It may not work (I haven't tried it) and it may trash your machine leading to reinstallation but it may also fix things for you. Let me know if it worked.

  • Audigy Platinum On Vi

    Im trying to get an audigy one platinum working with windows vista. I got the vista drivers from the creative website and installed. No problem.
    However i noticed the 'breakout box' in my dri'vebay wasnt working. So i checked device manager and I've got:
    soundblaster audigy - pci bus 2 device function 0 - everything ok
    unknown device - pci bus 2 device function - driver not installed
    when i tell vista to search for the driver for the 'unknown device' i get the error 'creative game port - an error occured during the installation of this device. the driver installation file for this device is missing a neccesary entry. This maybe because the INF was written for windows 95 or later Contact your hardware vendor.
    Anyone got any help on this or where I can find a suitable dri've / inf file for the dri'vebay i/o ports?
    thanks

    ok then i'll rephrase the question,
    has anyone got the soundblaster audigy platinum dri'vebay i/o ports working in vista 32bit's..if so how did you do it, where did you get the driver from?

  • Audigy Platinum Ex Windows 7 SPDIF IN not working

    Audigy Platinum Ex Windows 7 SPDIF IN not working? I have an old Audigy Platinum Ex that has served me well, until now when I have a new Windows 7 x64 PC (RTM). SPDIF IN no longer works, though everything else does (including SPDIF OUT). I've tried the current and beta drivers for the card, and no difference.
    In Windows Vista x64 I could use ASIO drivers with my M-Audio ProFire 60 while using the Audigy for PC audio. Most often this was for skype, which I would set to use SPDIF IN/OUT which I then connected to the ProFires SPDIF OUT/IN. Using the ProFire mixing tool, I could control which mics and levels went to the Audigy while not interfereing with the ASIO drivers recording the mics. The ProFire also recorded the SPDIF OUT from the Audigy to caputre the person on Skype to their own audio track. This is a podcast producer's heaven, and I miss it!
    If it's a known issue (SPDIF IN / Win 7), I've had this card through 4 PC upgrades and it's served me well enough I don't mind buying new. The Creative Sound Blaster X-fi Elite Pro looks to be the current version of my Ex - are there any Windows 7 issues currently that would stop me from using it in the role above? I will miss the FireWire port, a shame they dropped that.

    Well basically it is possible, and I've found this out. Apparently Dell released a driver or something that allows it to work, but then only if you install a 3rd party modified xp version of the creative suite. I don't remember where I found it, but it was through google... Using some term including x-fi, dts, and vista.... Can't seem to find it now. Anyway, it had a download for the whole creative suite that was modified from the xp version for Vista, however it was buggy as hell, caused driver issues and blue screens, and ended up causing me to have to reinstall Vista altogether again. In other words, it's possible, but I don't recommend it until it's officially supported... Don't know when this will be yet... *crosses fingers*
    Luckily I've got a dual OS system with XP too, and I switch to that when I want to use my Xbox 360... However due to Microsoft also being terrible in that department... I now get entertainment off of its 3 red lights... (For those of you who don't know, 3 red lights = hardware error. Sending into microsoft for repair typically is a 2 month process... I'm still waiting on my prepaid shipping box to arri've and it's been 4 days... Will be a similar wait to get it to them, 4-6 weeks for them to actually repair, and another week or so to get it all shipped back). Although even when the console worked, my dsl modem sometimes cut out when playing on Xbox li've and dropped signals, reported errors, etc.
    What is with the companies producing technology nowadays? I just want to play Gears in 5. on Xbox li've... *cries*Message Edited by Supercoolyo on 07-22-20070:54 AM

  • Dolby 5.1 with Windows 7 using an Audigy Platinum EX

    Hello.
    Long story short.
    I've mashed together three old PC's to make one reasonably ok one as a media center.
    I have an old MSI motherboard, running an AMD XP 2.GB Chip with .25GB of Ram and an AGP Video card (Soon to be upgraded to an ATI 4850 AGP Card with HDMI out.
    My trusty Audigy Platinum EX has been re used (again!) and after finding some drivers, everything seems to be ok!
    What's the problem you ask?
    I cant seem to get true 5. surround, via the on board optical out (speaker calibration wont play front centre, sub or rear speakers.)
    I'm running the lot through a Creative 5. Inspire speaker system (using the optical input) if i let the Inspire system sort out the sound, I can get surround, but only if i switch on the 5. manually, and like I said, it won't play via the speaker test in windows or the creative consul on screen.
    Am I missing something real simple, or is this an issue anyone else has had dealings with?
    Also (as if that weren't enough) there doesn't seem to be any support for the EAX and ESS systems, and I cant use the remote control that came with the Platinum EX.
    If anyone can offer any sugestions, I'd be most grateful.
    With Thanks.

    Hello again.
    I've got hold of a Vista Support Pack that supposedly fixes loads of the issues I've got with an old card on Windows 7, I've pasted the notebook specs and details that came with it, and if you've any idea how I can put a downloud link on this forum so you can download it from me, you are more than welcome to try it. I'm not knowledged enough to put a link on here, but others have done it, so it must be possible... Any Ideas?

    - Built-in Decoder (requires Windows Vista Service Pack )
    To use the built-in decoder, make sure it is enabled in Audio Console.

    your player and then configure the AC3/DTS filter to send the stream

    Just readjust one of the controls one time per boot.
    - There is no sound in games with OpenAL support or using Creative ALchemy
    Disable Advanced EQ and Special FX selecting ?No effects? before running the game or program.
    - Equalizer settings are lost
    It happens after you run a game with OpenAL support or using Creative ALchemy. This issue also occurs in Windows XP, so it is not specific to this Windows Vista driver.
    When you restart the computer or run Equalizer, the saved setting is automatically loaded.
    - No sound when CMSS is enabled using Audio Console (4. or more speakers)
    Just move the Stereo Focus slider and set it back to the desired position, even if it is 0 (zero). Once the setting is saved, works properly. This issue does not affect EAX Settings.
    - Windows Vista MIDI Device Configuration Utility
    Use this utility to change the MIDI playback device for 32-bit and 64-bit applications.
    The driver installer automatically selects the first hardware MIDI synthesizer found.
    Note: The Audigy 2 ZS Notebook (PCMCIA) does not have a hardware synthesizer.
    Some screenshots:
    - Equalizer:
    - Stereo Surround:
    - Decoder:
    - Mplayer Classic: select ?SPDIF Out (Creative SB Audigy (WDM))? as the output device of
    your player
    - Mplayer Classic: configure the AC3/DTS filter to send the stream through SPDIF
    - Hardware MIDI:
    Hope this is of some help?
    Let me know if you've any idea how to upload the programme!!
    Kind regards.

    I read, that a led is supposed to turn on when the hub is ready.
    I'm a little bit lost because everything seems to be correct.
    Thx for help.

    Yes when you compile from the source, binary are in the /usr/local.
    In fact I just solved the problem, but I can't explain how. I tried to install lirc with a live cd of kubuntu, and it works, the led of the hub started lighting, after I come back to arch and it works again without any changes.
    A little miracle
