Help With Audigy 2 ZS Platinum

have had this card for a while and experience no probs. Have a Behringer mixer plugeed into input 3 and 3 keyboards plugged into the behringer. Never had a prob before, but now suddenly none of the inputs seem to be working (cept midi). Ive tried going direct from the keyboard into each of the inputs and nothing. all the inputs are turned on and there is definitely a signal going into the behringer (I tired the behringer outside of the soundcard and its working fine). Dont understand whats going on. Is there something wrong with the card. Did i blow the input channels somehow? I did a complete clean and reinstall as per the instructions on this forum and that didnt work. Running an athlon xp 3000+ with windows xp.. Any help would be appreciated. If i need a new card, Im definitely going in a different direction.

So it was working 00% fine before you took your system in to be fixed?
Go back and tell them what happened. It would seem the guys who you sent it to did something to your hardware. May be hard to prove but thats where I would start.

Creative Entertainment Center works with Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro

Creative doesnt seem to hav plans to release Entertainment center for Audigy 2 ZS. But theres a way to install and use Entertainment Center with AUDIGY 2 ZS Platinum/Pro. I first installed the Audigy 4 Modded PAX drivers for Audigy2 ZS with all softwares(i downloaded Audigy 4 ISO) , Then i uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled Audigy 2 ZS drivers , and again installed Entertainment Center, Guess what now Audigy 4 doesnt prompt me that i dont have the required HARD WARE before installation starts, and i can install ny Audigy 4 software(nothing much new though , only Entertainment center and Smart Recorder). and i am now enjoying ENTERTAINMENT CENTER with my Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro and with Audigy 2 drivers!!!!.
I think its not proper on part of CREATIVE not to release Ent. Center for Audigy 2, as the IO box and remote control of Audigy 2 and Audigy 4 are the same( RM-500 remote). so wats the point in keeping Ent. Center just for Audigy 4 and Up?

Just set your software DVD player to SPDIF output and make sure the A2ZS is set for SPIDF decode.

Help Needed : Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro Hub doesn't w

Hi all,
I got a wierd problem with my SB Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro. The external Hub is VERY unstable, I mean that I own my SB card for two weeks now and I have the following behaviour:
* Midi IN on external HUb doesn't works. "SB Audigy 2 ZS MIDI IO 2" is not visible on all MIDI applications (but "SB Audigy 2 ZS" yes!)
* CMSS light on external Hub doesn't turn green when I turn CMSS on
* OSD doesn't show and sound volume does not change when I change volume from the external Hub button.
* Remote control doesn't works but red light flash on the external Hub when I press a button on the remote control.
* FYI the optical out is always red which seems to say that the optical out is working correctly (but I haven't tested it because I have nothing to connect on it)
For complexifying the problem I succeed in making all this stuff works only TWO times (in tow weeks) by reinstalling drivers and NOT restarting the computer. In this configuration, all the previous points works. I means that I can connect my midi keyboard to the Hub and play music thought the MIDI IO (and "SB Audigy 2 ZS MIDI IO 2" is available when everything works), I can use the remote control, OSD is showing etc ...
I have really no idea why it was working only two times during these two weeks and I reinstalled the drivers and all softwares at least 5 times, rebooted the PC 30 times, etc ...
Does anybody encoutered and solved the same problem ? Does my Hub must be changed.
For your information, I have checked the internal configuration of my soundcard and everything seems to be correctly connected (including alim). I have also connected correctly the Two AD_Link cables. I have Windows XP SP2 on Intel 3Ghz with GB memory on Soltek QBIC system. No antivirus loaded.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE :
I had the support by phone yesterday and for the moment they have no explanation on what's going on ! I will try to phone again to the support tomorrow for advancing. For information they proposed me to do the following tests:
- Does the optical out light is red when my hub doesn't work - the response is yes
2- Does I have installed correctly the Hub alim - the response is yes
3- Does I have installed correctly the connection cables between hub and card - The response is yes
For information my analysis is that is doesn't comes from the software as when the hub work the CMSS light turn green during the boot of windows XP, moreover in computer science the behavious is most of the time reproductible. So from my mind it could comes from the following point:
a- PC Alim not powerful enouth
b- bad connection cables
c- hub is not working and need to be changed

Jminardi,
I think I am in agreement with conclusion b or c. Although there are a couple things to check, first off go to Device Manager and go to view/resources by type. In here look and see what the IRQ assigned to the Audigy 2 ZS is and see if it is sharing with anything important like the video card. If so you might try another PCI slot just to sure there aren't difficulties caused by this. If everything checks out you might want to call tech support back and try to arrange a repair on the external box and cables.

Help with MSI K7n2 Delta2 Platinum

Hi everyone,
I need some help with my system, actually I'm having troubles with my machine, often it restarts or freezes so I have to restart it manually.I own a MSI K7n2 Delta2 Platinum, AMD Athlon XP 3000+, 1 GB DDR-400 CORSAIR, ATI Radeon 9800 PRO 128MB AGP. Recently I did a clean install of Windows XP but usually I work for an hour and suddenly it restarts, and after logging in, Windows reports a log event problem; I think I have this problem because of the drivers, so I would like you to help me. Where I can get the best/last drivers for the mainboard and video card? Should I flash the bios? Is common this kind of problems? Help me please.
Thanks!

sortieins, please start an new thread and make a complete listing of your compoenents including your PSU and the amps on the various voltage rails, especially the +12V rail(s).

Windows 7 64bit with Audigy 2 ZS platinum - live recording work impossible

The only reason to own a SB platinum audigy solution is for recording work.
Why is Microsoft 7 in beta for a year and yet there are no workable drivers
for the recording features of this soundcard? I have the support release
of Home Premium which came out October 22nd.
The stable driver from Creative has no controls for level of the input. You can hear
the input pass through to the speakers at a fixed medium level,
but recording applications (e.g. audacity, etc.) cannot get the input signal at all.
The beta driver from Sept 2009 does support the levels for inputs such as Aux2
(guitar jack), but now the latency is way too high, and the sound is distorted. I have
tried a few input sampling rates other than the default but it appears to have
no impact on the latency. I think the latency is between 50 and 50 ms. It is
unusable. This latency does not occur on the same hardware and configuration
dual booting to Windows XP.
If the Audigy 2 ZS Platinum is not going to be supported soon for all of the features
(minus game port) which worked in Windows XP, I would like a recommendation
for an alternate product which will be well supported in Windows 7.
Don't tell us to ask Microsoft when the drivers will be ready and working.
Microsoft is telling us to ask Creative Labs for this solution.

N I have the same problem! So frustrating!
Well, I did some digging for the answer to this, how fortunate that there is a solution!
If you disable then re-enable the Windows Audio service, it should fix it until the next time you restart your computer. (I only did it once, but you may have to do it more than once).

Help with Audigy 2 not being fo

Short story: 'Puter C dri've died. Had to put in another and reinstall Windows XP Home. Can't get the Audigy 2 card recognized. Not sure if I have the correct disc. (I love to upgrade and have too many discs.) The discs I have are for Audigy and Audigy 2 ZS. Will either of those work with the Audigy 2 (not ZS) or am I missing a disc? If I am missing the disc how can I get those files? And if it should work, could my Audigy have died, too? Appreciate the help.

If you lost the CD you find it station-drivers, you just extract them (using winrar) and execute the application mentioned above (can be found on ..\Drivers\support\i386 -folder if you have 32-bit system). Select installation (eg. no uninstallation needed), and allow installation over existing shared files.

Help with MSI K8N Neo Platinum

HELP please- motherboard MSI K8N Neo PLATINUM: I tried to take away the backplate for the heatsink (on the back side of MB) in order to install the zalman HS beafore i read the forum (use a fan...) and the worst of all happend:
I scratched the back surface!! the scratches are minor, that is 4 scratches half a milimeter long each and not deep but i can see the copper of some lines leading from the memory slots to the processr. My question is : can I try and build the computer on that motherboard anyway or better buy a new one? is there a risk of dammaging other components? oh god what a mistake!

Make sure the new backplate is non-conductive. The backplate for the Hyper 6 has a non-conductive sticker on it. Make sure to keep it on if youve got one... If the lines are exposed even with the back-plate on perhaps you should cover them with some non-conductive (100% non conductive!) tape or something.
Then it doesnt matter if they are exposed, as long as they are ok.
A good tip, which got when i was removing my backplate, is to use a blow dryer to heat it up and the remove it with your fingers. That way youll also notice if it gets to hot
The glue gets sticky at blow drier temps. And pls, dont singe the MB with your blow dryer, you only have to make it hot, and if you cant touch it, how can you remove it with your fingers?
I guess theres no way of telling if you have a serious prob and no way to tell if your cpu will be ok. I guess you could (?) try and start it wíthout anything (cpu, mems) but a PSU, and then, if it (and maybe the PSU) goes "!Pfsssssss!" or "bang!", youll now you will have to replace it.
I put a screwdriver through an asus board once, and it still worked...

Help with Audigy Plati

Guys,
I recently formatted my computer and now I get no sound on my Audigy
Platinum. The card gets detected by windows xp fine - latest driver -
latest BIOS.
The firewire port on both the card and the front panel work fine.
(external HD)
I get no errors from dxdiag and the PC is 'supposedly' playing MP3's
etc as I see the graphical effects. I have tested different speakers
(speakers work - tested on another PC). I also borrowed the exact same
card from a friend and had the same issue. I also tested this with
linux (knoppix) and have the same issue.
If I put all the volume meters to 00% and stick my ear to the speaker
I will be able to barely hear whatever is playing at that moment.
I have also tried every other PCI slot on my motherboard (Tyan Tiger
MP). I also have a Geforce 4 is that hel
ps.
Thanks!

I seem to be having the same problem, after upgrading my motherboard and CPU.
Did you ever get to the bottom of your problem?
Thanks.

5.1 Help with Audigy 2

I have an Audigy 2 ZS Platnium Pro and I recently upgraded to the latest drivers, bad mistake as I am having heck now trying to get everything work right again. I have Logitech Z-680 5. speaker setup. Before the upgrade in drivers, my settings were working the way I wanted to, the sound was working just fine. After the upgrade however, for some reason the newer drivers did something and messed up settings (restoring to defaults doesn't resolve the issues I am going to explain)?In World of Warcraft, the sounds seem far more distant and quiet than before, throwing me completely off. In the Speaker Test, when I choose that, I hear sound out of only the front and center channels only. Now I know the rear work because when I listen to music I can hear it via CMSS. The Windows control pannel and Creative's are both set to 5.. I tried the speaker calibration which correctly produces the right sound output and it has no effect when I enable the calibration. This boggles me on how the sound comes from the front and center (when it tests the rear, it plays through the fronts instead) but obviously the rears work cause I can hear sound while playing music. The speakers are setup for 6 Channel Direct which is the mode needed for 5. sound from a card like the Audigy. I have rolled back to previous driver version and still have the same thing. I am stuck with the weird 5. setup and it wont' go away even if I uninstall all the Creative drivers and apps and reinstall them. This is very frustrating and I don't want to have to do a clean install this close to Vista just because Creative's poor excuse for software decides to take a weird turn and not work right (who would've thought, eh?)?I'm about ready to turn on the onboard audio for the A8N-SLI Deluxe as it will probably work correctly. I"ll probably wipe Vista RC2 off ther other HDD and test if a clean install with the new drivers (or old) will work fine, they should. It should not be a hardware problem as the ports clearly work, just the software does not want to work! I just want my sound working properly again, sucks I have to go through a bunch of BS because drivers hosed how the system is working.

Just an update, did a fresh install of MCE2005 and the sound works fine, completely uninstalled everything on my current install, drivers, apps, etc, and installed them just like I did on the new install, and still have the same problems. I even used Driver Cleaner to make sure?I wiped out everything, it has to be a setting or something just laying around that I can't get rid of without doing a complete reinstall, unless some application is messing with it that's installed on my current install but I don't know what that would be.

Help with Audigy 2 Zs and crackling sound ..

For the past 5 months or so ( not long after I got the product ) I have been getting this periodic issue with the sound ...
I'll start to notice a popping and crackling sound coming from the left channel when loud sounds issue from the game ( multiple games ). After a while I figured ou ttha tI could :
a: Reset all my settings to Default , Then reconfigure my surround
or
b: Reinstall and/or patchthe current driver set ...
Both seem to fix the issue for some time then it all returns within a month or so .... It's a rela pain to have to keep configuring my Audio settings every month.
My system specs are
Asus A7N8X DLX Rev. 02
AMD 3000+
Gig Corsair XMS
BFG 6800GT 256
Audigy 2 ZS
Raptor 74 Gig
and some Altec Landsing Speakers ( I forgot the model number )
Any idea what could be causing this ?
Thanks in advance.

I got the fix for you twellons. Just go in the audio control panel and mute the midi/synth in the panel and you will have the fix. My system specs are close toy yours amd 2800xp, nforce 2 a7n8x dlx ver .04 and a original audigy card. Now creative has to address this issue in new drivers. Also download the demo of contract jack and when you load the game and the game menus comes up, scroll through the options in that menu like new game, load game quickly and you will here that popping noise in only the left speaker. and when you do that fix that i mentioned above, no more popping . So try that out and please get back to me and tell me if it worked or not. That issue was tough to figure out.
P.S. You owe me

Need help with Audigy 2 ZS hea

Does anyone know any websites that tell you what each pin is for on the card? I know that the area that I highlighted in red is for the front panel port, but I don't know which one is for what. I have looked for a while and thought it was best if I posted it here to see if someone here knew.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
