HELP! Surround Mixer Proble

Hi guys, I have an SB Audigy.
Unfortunately, my installation cd was ruined and i had to get a new Hard dri've.
I have successfully installed drivers and the Creative audio console, but i cannot find anywhere the original installation files for Surround Mixer. (ie, not the stupid little updates it has on the support page)
I need help finding a full version of Surround Mixer.

Download Audigy 4 ISO. This will install on your soundcard as well.Message Edited by the_One on 0-5-2005 08:43 AM

  • No longer able to select speaker type in Surround Mixer (Audigy Platinum Win XP P

    Hi, all. I have an Audigy Platinum. Normally I have no issues using my 5. speakers with this card; however, today I noticed my sound was "tinny" and the reason is that the surround mixer is locked on Headphones. I cannot click the arrow to change it to 5. surround or anything else for that matter. I've gone into Control Panel and unchecked the mute other speakers when headphones are plugged in option, but that hasn't seemed to help. Any other ideas?Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the reply. That did the trick.

  • Sound Audigy 2.....Microphone option is not showing up in Surround Mixer!!!!

    I just updated the Sound Card Driver and when I finished with it and restarted my computer. It reset all my settings in Surround Mixer. I got them back to where i had them but not I can't get my microphone option back. I can only get What U Hear. The drop down menu is missing the microphone option. How can I restore this?
    What started this all was from getting a new Logitech G5 keyboard. My sound was all crackling and some things was repeating itself while playing World of Warcraft. So i was told to update the driver, which didn't help but now my Surround Mixer is giving me heck.

    Vista? Control Panel -> Sound -> Recording (tab) and make sure only ! device is set as the default, this should resoter your ability to choose the mic in the audio [email protected]

  • SB Surround Mixer Volume Bind Keys/Quick K

    Howdy,
    I was wondering if anyone knows if it's possible (either with an external program or not) to assign quick keys or bind keys to functions within the Surround Mixer for my Audigy 2 Platinum.
    For example, I have a Logitech keyboard with a scroll wheel on the side and I within the Logitech software it is possible to assign it to control the master volume, but for my purposes I would like it (or even some regular keys on the keyboard) to control the gain slider for the the Auxiliary 2 Input. This would be helpful to me, so I can mix the volume of my audio coming in via RCA into Aux 2 on the fly, while Im in a fullscreen application that is also running audio that doesn't take kindly to being alt tabbed - which makes it difficult to open the Surround Mixer Window every time I want to change something.
    Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks.

    I have no idea what to do for that.
    From [ibm-acpi-devel] ThinkVantage key on ThinkPad X61
    Is the mask value for this key 0x00000080 or 0x00001018?
    Neither.  In the documentation, you'll see a table with an entry for
    each key.  The table shows the "ACPI event" code (0x1018 in your]
    example) and the "scan code" (0x17 corresponds to that event).
    The documentation mentioned above is the README of the ibm-acpi,
    where you hav ACPI events and scan codes explained. But, that's low-level thingy.
    To configure the ThinkVantage button, simply follow instructions from the How to get special keys to work. For example,  Open an application
    where you can find out keycode with xev and map desired action with xmodmap.
    (On my T400, under X11 the ThinkVantage button generates event with keycode 156. You need to check yours using xev.)

    If someone has some tips/clues, please share.
    Check the ThinkWiki article above, there are audio buttons explained too.

  • How to make a decent surround mix?

    I've never used STP, but I'm hoping you experts can help. I've posted this question in the FCP forum but got no respsonse. So I did a little more searching and realized this might be a better place for the question.
    My goal is to take two-channel HD video, add a stereo music track, and produce something that sounds good in full surround. Is there any good tutorial on how I might make a modestly better surround mix? I'm not trying to win an Oscar here, or become a sound engineer. So simpler is better, please.
    I've worked out a way to put surround sound into my HD movie, burn it to a DVD AVCHD using Toast, and get it all to play on a blu-ray player, Cool!! It looks great and has 5.1 Dolby Digital surround, all on a cheap DVD disk. I get about 30 minutes on the disk.
    But now I realize I don't know jack about how to make it sound good. All I've tried so far is putting a stereo song into the surround speakers with the movie stereo in the fronts as usual. It's pretty cool, but it isn't exactly "immersive".
    I think I might get a better result using an upmixing tool such as Upmix 1.1.1 from Cycling '74 (or is it KVR Audio?) to simulate 3D sound from my 2D source materials.
    Has anyone tried something like this? Is it worth the bother? Any tips appreciated.

    My surround experiments test results:
    Content: Two stereo tracks, a movie and a song.
    Objective: Make a nice surround mix, something better than sending both tracks only to the fronts
    Tools: Soundtrack Pro, Compressor 2.3.1 I have no system for "live" surround playback and no software designed to simplify front-rear fades and 3D sound placement. To test any mix, I have to burn it to disk and preview it on my (calibrated 7.1) home theater system.
    *Hold Fixed:* No change was made to the stereo pan of either stereo pair. In all tests I let Compressor create a center mix at -3dB and a LFE using its low-pass filter checkbox.
    *Experimental Design:* I have just four levers to pull - the level of each stereo pair in the front and in the rear. To simply testing, I used just 3 levels, 0 dB (no change), -3 dB and off, -∞. Four variables at 3 levels gives you 81 total combinations. Since I have to burn to disk, I can't run all those. Many tests can be eliminated as nonsensical, eg. the one test with all levels at -∞. Further eliminating the combinations that give level totals that are obviously too low or too extreme, I was left with 8 mixes I actually tested:
    Movie Music
    _F / R F/R Comment_
    1. 0 -∞ -∞ 0 Uncomfortable, too "obvious"
    2. -3 0 0 0 music a little dominant
    3. -3 0 0 -3 music too front
    4. 0 -3 0 0 not bad, music more forward than #6
    5. 0 0 0 -3 music too front
    6. 0 -3 -3 0 my favorite - very smooth transition when music starts
    7. 0 0 -3 0 music too rear, oddly
    8. 0 0 0 0 result pending
    Conclusion: It's possible to make a dramatically improved sound mix over the two-channel stereo that is exported by iMovie. A starting point is simply duplicating the front signal into the surround speakers. A slight fade - in my case the movie was reduced in the rear and music reduced in the front - gives a nice "opening" of the sound and some sense of 3D. I believe this preset could be applied blindly to many movie+music projects and give an acceptable result.

  • No surround mixer!!! soundblaster audig

    Hello everyone,?I'm from Holland and i have a problem with surround mixer. I have a Creative soundblaster Audigy 2 with no install cd's. I have downloaded the newest drivers and my sound works. The onlything i can not use is the surround mixer. There is the mixer off windows but there i can not change the front, rear and center speakers. The EAX console i can use. I looked offcourse for solution and there is one. See http://www.tymes.net/swenum/fix-swenum0.htm. The problem is that i must install the Plug and Play Software Device Enumerator. The thing is, i dont know what Enumerator is or do. Can somebody try to explane this or translate this. I think this is the problem. What i have to know is the dutch for "Plug and Play Software Device Enumerator"?Can somebody help me please?Greatings,?Fred

  • Stereo to 5.1 Surround Mix

    How does one convert a stereo file to a 5.1 surround mix.
    I've read through the various discussions & searched the web but have not been able to get help about this topic specific to Logic Pro.
    I've got a 5.1 setup with all the panning done & I know about the bouncing of files for export.
    My question is how does one actually convert the stereo file into 5 seperate files that sound right when played out together. What filters & setting must I use (delay, phase shift, levels) so as not to create an echo effect.
    Any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    depends on what you want to do by using surround.
    talking about a music recording you can't simply convert a stereo recording into a 5.1 recording since you'd have to record to 5.1 in the first place. that means if you're recording an orchestra you need a 5.1 main system such as oct or oct2 or decca tree plus two mics to the back...that's necessary to capture the room's response.
    of course you can always use digital (reverb) processing to beef up a stereo mix and add an artificial room response. but the results might be less than satisfactory.
    and if you're into film sound you might want to have that airplane over your head...so you'd simply pan it.
    i think you need to give us more input according to what you really want to do to get a useful answer...

  • Can I do a surround mix in Logic or Soundtrack using the digital output?

    I'm wondering if I can make use of my home theater system to do surround mixing, or if I need an interface with discrete outputs.
    I'm doing surround composition, so it would work great if I could do my initial stereo mix on my monitors, and then get a good surround mix preview using my home theater setup.
    Does Logic or Soundtrack recognize the digital optical out as a 5.1 (or 6) channel output?

    Thanks, Rick.
    That is actually what I did - create folders and move topics into them. I also created a TOC - for a more streamlined navigation through the online help. (Otherwise, the folder names appear in the navigation, which is 'clunky'.) I suppose the TOC is also used for the creation of PDF output, although I am not sure. Anyway... it works... and I have a topic hierarchy - in my Project 'pod' and TOC.
    Much appreciated,
    Mary  
    P.S. Too bad there isn't an easier method of making a topic hierarchy in the Project. This can be accomplished in Flare without the need for extra folders. Oh well...

  • Troubleshooting Surround Mixer and Speaker Settin

    Hello,
    First, I am using a clean install of Windows XP (no service pack 2).
    A year ago I bought an Alienware computer with a vanilla Sound Blaster Audigy 2. Yesterday, I reformatted and reinstalled the drivers and software (Surround Mixer and Speaker Settings only) from the Alienware Master CD. The Creative Surround Mixer and Speaker Settings programs will NOT open. The "Creative Volume Control" icon appears on the system tray. Right-clicking it does nothing. Double-clicking does nothing. Opening the programs from their locations does nothing. I get an hourglass for half a second -- then, nothing.
    I updated the Audigy 2 drivers from the Creative website. The programs still would not open. I updated both pieces of software. They still will not open.
    At the moment, I have no surround sound -- I'm using 6. Speakers, and the control panel settings allow only 5. and 7.. So I'm in a rather poor position.
    I did not have this problem before I reformatted.
    Why is this suddenly happening?
    I would also like to comment that not including the software bundles with your downloadable drivers is a poor business practice. Every other sound/video card manufacturer includes fully functional driver/application resources on their website. What gives? You're punishing your customers for losing the installation CDs -- and those of us who never had one (Alienware includes everything on a rather sloppy backup CD) are defenseless.

    The card is OEM. Alienware offers only the earliest drivers for the card by website (the exact same from the recovery CD) and none of the software found on the CD. My 'hardware analysis' tech support period is expired with Alienware, so they aren't much further help.
    When the computer first shipped to me, the Audigy 2 card was installed as "Audigy 2" under control panel, all the software functioned, and updating through www.creative.com worked fine. After the reformat, installing the drivers from the recovery CD (in the Audigy 2 folder) caused the card to be listed simply as an "Audigy" under control panel. None of the software worked. Installing the latest drivers from www.creative.com caused the card to be properly listed as "Audigy 2", but of course, the software still does not work. Surround sound is working, I just have no way to manipulate *any* of its settings.
    Does this mean I need to purchase an entirely new retail card in order to use surround sound again properly...
