Sound blaster X-Fi surround 5.1

HI,
I recently bought Creative Sound Blaster X-FI surround 5. for my Inspire M4500 (4.) speakers. I am using Dell Inspiron 545 laptop with Vista 32 bit Operating system.
With sound card, they gave me the Y splitter cable and i connected the front speakers cable (from? my woofer) to that and rare speakers wire to "rear" on the sound card.
I modified the speakers configuration to 4.. But Iam not getting clear sound from rear speakers. it is giving some buzzzz kind of sound where as front speakers are working good.
How to resolve this problem? I installed all the drivers came with CD and set these as default. Plz advice.
Thanks
Naveen

Sound Blaster Live 24-bit PCI Sound Card and Creative Sound Blaster PCI Card not detect

Ok here is my problem. I bought a Creative Sound Blaster PCI sound card a while back and it was working fine but recently when I would boot up my computer and try to play music say off of Winamp it says Bad DirectSound Driver. When I check device manager it shows no sound card there and in sounds and audio devices it says no audio device. Now my brother believed this to be a card fault so we went to Frys and bought a Sound Blaster Li've 24-bit PCI card. I uninstalled the old drivers and installed this new one but yet it's the same problem. My assumption was that Windows XP had something conflicting so I reinstalled the OS. It found the card and I installed the latest drivers?off of this site but now it does the same thing yet again with a fresh install of Windows XP. The card has been in all 3 of my PCI slots and it will detect it for a moment but then acts like as if the card was never installed. Like I never installed a sound card into the computer. The onboard audio has been disabled for a while now but I do not know what the problem could be. I did Scan for hardware changes but it doesn't show up. Sometimes when the card is detected if I do scan for hardware changes and the card is there it will just magically disappear from the device manager as if it was never there. Even when I try to load music and I see the card is detected it will not play the music and ends up locking up Winamp to the point that sometimes will go BSOD. Now I would really like to find out what the issue is because I am planning this weekend to swap out my motherboard with a duplicate board to see if that will end up fixing the problem but I want to find out if there is any other way to fix this issue. Thank you.Message Edited by AuXoIs on 02-25-200808:28 PM

Hmm what other options is there for the bios on PCI slots?Also anything you connect to the motherboard can have oxidization (I think its that) build up on the connection. Check the connector on the card and get a eraser (Pen eraser is better) and give it a good cleaning. The connector might have alot of build-up on it and you can see it by a dark yellowy colour. I cleaned my graphics card and ram connectors after they got alot of the build-up on them. On a older computer my graphics stopped working and this fixed it. Also I went away for a while (like a month) and came back to see that my puter didn't display anything. Opened it up and saw that the graphic card had alot of corrosion? on the card connector and in the slot. Does that if you computer is turned of for a long time. Had a heck of time trying to clean the slot out. One other thing that it could be is the sound card is faulty. I had an audigy 2 and it died a while back . It picks it up and then try and use it computer freezes and the after restart it's not there anymore. Hope it's not that problem. Hope this gives you something to go by.

Pin Specifications for Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SB1394

;Pin Specifications for Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SB394 I have a Sound Blaster Audigy SB934 CA000-IAF Creative Tech '0 AA299J basically a Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum (wiouth the front bay for conectivity.)? And since I dont' have the front bay for heaphone and mic conectivity I was wondering if there is a spec sheet for the 40-Pin conectivity that is used for the front bay. I was wondering if anyone could provide me with such spec sheet so that I can try to conect my frontal Intel board plugs for headphone and microphone (would like to use my headset.)
There are a lot of pins on the card and well only about 8 in the conector for the front plugs. So if any dev from the forum is reading this I would greatly apreciate it if I could use my front Intel sound plugs on this old model card.
Thank you for all your help.

That will help you with the pin assignments.......
And you can also try one of these to connect a lot more easily to your front panel audio jacks.......

Creative Sound blaster 5.1 prob

Hi all,
I bought a creative sound blaster 5. sound card yesterday to replace my onboard realtek alc655 soundcard hoping that i can hear a sound? from my edifier m3350 5. speakers but it failed me.
I done the creative diagnostic, all had pass. Then I test the speaker, front left have no sounds but there is sound from the subwoofer (voice: "Front left"); center is perfect i can hear it; front right is the same as front left it is coming from the subwoofer. Rear left and rear right have no sounds at all.
This is also my problem with my onboard realtek alc655, i only have a sound with the center/subwoofer and front that is why i buy a creative sound card.
All are connected in proper way,
Green (soundblaster) Green (speaker) Front
Black (soundblaster) Black (speaker) Rear
orange (soundblaster) orange (speaker) Center/subwoofer
thanks in advance,
pip?

Is Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 NX USB sound card compatible with Dell deskt

Im considering buying the Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 NX USB sound card to use with a Dell desktop XPS 40, but recently read a forum message on another page that there was a issue with installing on a Dell Tower but no problems with installing on a laptop
any help is appreciated if there are any compatibility issues with using this sound card on a Dell desktop, Thanks
the main reason I would like to upgrade to this card is so my pc doesnt use the integrated audio which Id like better quality performance with a sound card and also dont want to install a internal card on the system

joaolfb,
Audigy 2 NX will need to be connected with the power adaptor inorder to run. USB will not be enough to sustain the power consumption of the sound card.

Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 B4

Ok so as listed above, my current soundcard is a Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 B400, now when you google that the card doesnt come up unless its a ZS? My card is NOT a ZS though, its exactly as stated. Anyway, since its almost impossible to find I HAVE found a picture of the back of the card:
http://mayhem.prod.googlepages.com/p...inout-full.jpg
Now on to my question. I'm looking to buy?the Logitech Z-5500 5. surround sound (Digital) for my computer, now, I want to be sure that this card can support two things.
) The digital input itself, my card has a white "Digital" input, so obviously my first guess is yes.
2) This cable: http://www.monstercable.com/productdisplay.asp?pin=600
And if it can support that cable, will it benefit me? Sorry for the trouble, I just dont want to spend the money and not be able to support it. Thanks for the help.

Creative sound blaster audigy 2 zs h

I have creative sound blaster audigy 2 zs card and a set of AV labs, amped 7. sound system speakers. i have 4 input wires to plug into the card and it only seems to have 3 output jacks. When i go and calibrate the speakers i am missing out on my two surround speakers. how should i be hooking these up. There is probaly a simple ansew to this but it has me stumped. help please

Please read Creative's speaker connectivity guide: <A href="]http://ask.americas.creative.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE/,/?St=787,E=0000000000070303557,K=54,Sxi=0,Question3 895=obj(3895): obj(3899))[/url] (Remove the space between ": obj", I wrote so cause I get a smiley otherwise:angry: )
As you will see in the article, the Audigy is fitted with two 4-pole connectors, which can carry 3-channels each. So you only need 3 wires for a 7. system, as you have 2 normal stereo plugs (3-pole) and 2 3-channel plugs (2*2+2*3=8). You will most probably need different wiring for your speaker system as it appears you have 4 stereo plugs.

Hi,
I am using a Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS sound card, and I recently purchased a Hauppauge WinTV Express card, I have installed the card with no problems, but it says I have to connect a wire from the Line Out port on the WinTV card into the line In port on my sound card. I cannot find a line in port onm the back of my sound card so I am getting so sound from WinTV. Can anyone please tell me how to set it up correctly?
Thanks for your help,

The Line In jack is the second jack from the Digital Out jack. If you have problem locating those jack, you can checkup the user guide too.

The front panel connections you want to use are adapted to be connected to a motherboard with audio included, NOT to a PCI audio card. You'll have to connect the front panel wires to your motherboard's audio connnector.

Help! Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE 7.1 Sound Card -

Hello. I've just recieved my new soundcard. It is the Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE 7. Sound Card - OEM. (Located here: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...atid=&subcat=)
My motherboard is a Asus A8N SLi se.
Now, I have put it in my motherboard, and just tried to install the drivers. I got an error though. It said "No compatible creative product detected." So I downloaded the drivers off the Creative site, and that did not help either. I disabled the onboard sound in the BIOS, and yet it still did not work. I tried plugging in the soundcard into each of the soundcard ports on my motherboard, and none of them detected the card.
I am sick of using onboard, and would like to get this problem fixed.
Some additional information:
The back audio/microphone ports on my motherboard never worked. I have been using the front sockets on my case. I see cables running from my motherboard to the front of my case. Maybe one of those cables need to go into my soundcard in order for it to work? I'm not sure which though, so I didn't try it, just incase.
Here are some screenshots of what I'm getting. They might help.

Unknown Device in my Device Manager: http://img409.imageshack.us/img409/9924/unknownoj8.jpg
Now, I have no other creative parts in my computer. So this should be the soundcard, right?
Thanks in advanced for any replies.

Does the cable from the MB to the front I/O panel simuliar to this one? I installed a Audigy2 ZS in my other system and connected the black cable with the 0 pin connector to the card to use my front phone/mike jacks. Also in your device manager I see the Realtek AC97 still listed. When I installed the XM card in my 600 I disabled it in the BIOS so the entry does not show up in mine just the SB XF-I is displayed.

Creative Sound Blaster Audigy NX won't register as a USB device!

@Creative Sound Blaster Audigy NX won't register as a USB device!H I just moved my computer to another location across the room.
I didn't drop or beat or throw anything. I picked things up, moved them, and set them down carefully. I didn't abuse anything at all.
Now, my Sound Blaster Audigy NX doesn't work anymore.
I plug it into my USB hub, nothing. I plug it into a USB port in my laptop, and nothing, either. None of the USB ports in the hub or the laptop work, even after restarting. The light on the hub doesn't even light up to detect the device at all. I can't turn it on. It doesn't seem to matter if my speakers are actually on or off, or whether I have sound playing on the computer or not.
I've restarted countless times, too.
It worked before I moved it, and now, my expensi've sound card doesn't work. What's up, now?

joaolfb,
Audigy 2 NX will need to be connected with the power adaptor inorder to run. USB will not be enough to sustain the power consumption of the sound card.
