  • Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS - No Sound

    $Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS - No SoundP First let me start off by saying I've had this card (Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS) for a few years and it's always done this on my comptuer. It works fine on my parents' Dell. My motherboard is an Asus nI8-SLi. I'm running Microsoft Windows XP Home and meet all of the system requirements for sound card. The piece of junk sound card that was in the computer finally broke down and I would like to see if I can get the Audigy 2 ZS installed.
    I've tried installing the card from a fresh reformat, installing the card after reformatting and installing Microsoft Updates and I've tried a number of different drivers. I've also disabled the onboard audio in the BIOS.
    When I plug in my headphones it makes the familiar static noise you hear when you plug in headpones. Also, on the cord of my headphones you can mute and change the volume. When I do either of these I hear a bit of static until I stop doing it. However, when it comes to sound: music, games, voice chat, the annoying jingle during the Windows XP welcome screen, there is none.
    Please help!

    (Re: Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS - No Sound? Try this:
    This is a software package created by a user, Daniel K. which includes most all of the software updates as well as the newest or second to newest driver for your card. This will install everything you need to use that card.
    Even if you had the original install Cd, this package is better, as it fixes some of the original incompatibilites with the software and includes their newer versions as well.
    http://forums.creative.com/t5/Sound-...28/td-p/535299
    The package is great. It installs fairly quickly for a package of its size. I have used it myself for quite a while so I know that it works very well.
    After installation be sure that you have at least? a two speaker set plugged into the green jack on the back of the card. Sometimes people plug their speakers into the wrong jack and then feel they have no sound for an unknown reason.

    I have tried a million ways to get this stupid soundcard to work, and to no avail.
    I downloaded the newest drivers from soundblaster.com and it says it can't even detect the audigy however it shows up in my unknown device detecter.  I tried other Audigy drivers that have been unified for 5.1 plat & audigy plat.  Same results.  I then went to my old install CD that came with the sound card and it works.  However my live drive is not being enabled for some reason.  I have tried hooking up a 5.1 Live Drive and nothing as well.
    I don't have any sound drivers for anything onboard releated installed.
    I tried the Kx Drivers for giggles and they installed and even got closer with my Inspire 6.1's working a bit better, however live drive still not working correctly.
    My 1394 Net Adapter 1 & 2 are not loaded (drivers) ! mark by the both of them, they tell me to run the trouble shooter 2 says the device drive couldn't load due to old install being in the system, however I have removed these devices before and tried to do something.
    ATM I really need to get this sound card functional so any suggestions are appreciated.
    Thanks

    First time in my life a motherboard worries me before I start playing with it.  I have been waiting for my K8T Neo to arrive for two weeks and had time to read numerous reviews and forum.
    I validated almost every piece of hardware I’m using, including the sound card (Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum) against the list of hardware tested in MSI’s test report.  My sound card was supposed to be supported but we all know the story…
    Anyway, I was pleased when I booted for the first time my PC (after disabling the onboard sound) to succeed where many of us failed.  I even managed to install Windows XP SP1 without any trouble.  I also installed all the latest versions of the drivers, except for my Audigy, for which I installed the driver that came on the accompanying CD.  I had no trouble with the stereo sound.
    Trouble came when I tested the surround sound.  I experienced the same thing as goretexpretzels: no sound from the rear channels…  I then updated with the latest version of the drivers/mixer but same crap.  
    I will perform some tests and try with a non-SP1 version of XP to see if it resolves the problem, but I sincerely hope that MSI will come out with a BIOS patch or a workaround before long.
    I’m already starting to regret for not having stayed with Abit after all those years of reliable computing…

  • Sound Blaster Audigy SE Driver Prob

    I have a problem with Sound Blaster Audigy SE,
    Im using newest from creative download site SBA_PCDRV_LB__04_006.exe drivers.
    After I turn on a game like ut2004, fear combat, even dxdiag (sound test) or pause sound in music/movie player system stops reacting or process "System" uses 95-00% of my CPU.
    After few tests I discovered with help of KrView (kernel view soft) that p7filt.sys uses such big ammount of cpu If in Speaker Settings, Bass Redirection and Subwoofer Gain (+5) is turned on. (5. speakers)
    I installed a bit diffrent version of drivers (from cd and even later I tested SBSE7_XP_Jul2005 additional driver). But then Subwoofer Gain option isnt working at all
    its written Subwoofer Gain (+0) and with sub gain +0 sound quality very poor like in AC97 audio.
    Ive also checked friends sound card on my pc and also i've tested exactly same thing on other computer.
    I have xp sp2 with updates, newest bios, directX, etc etc...

    OK..first of all the Audigy SE lacks any form of hardware acceleration, so turning on features like bass boosting/sound post-processing etc. will take away a lot of CPU time. The file you mentioned just acts as a software real-time filter, although it should not go up to the point of bringing a 2.4 Ghz Pentium 4 to its knees.
    The sound quality will be altered even with every "DSP" effect (quoted because there's no actual hardware DSP, it's just emulated in software) set to 0, as long as the "DSP is considered acti've.
    That's because the sound output is first converted from the time domain to the frequency domain (in poor words, the continuous sound wave you hear is broken down in many different frequencies like in those 80s ghettoblasters spectrum analyzers) because it's easier to amplify bass/treble that way, and then converted back to time domain (in even poorer words, a continuous sound wave you can hear/record/playback).
    It's obvious that doing that thing in real time has a CPU cost, and even more obvious that the procedure is lossy and the input will not be the same as the output even with no effect applied, as long as the this double conversion takes place.
    If you really need bass boost, turn any sound processing on the card OFF, and use speakers which have it. Also, if the CPU usage is abnormally high, try updated or a specific older version of the drivers that has more reasonable CPU usage/doesn't have that bug.

  • Line in doesn't work Sound Blaster Audigy 2 - yes mute is off! - any ide

    Hi,
    I've been puling my hair out trying to hook my decks line out to line in on sound card Sound Blaster Audigy 2 (sold with PC). The sound card works fine for TV etc but I can't get any sound from line in for external devices. I've tried hooking up other devices such as iPod and Hifi and can't get any line in devices to play through my PC.
    I've run the diagnostics test and tests complete succesfully.
    Any ideas about how to get this sorted? Is this a known problem? Any other settings I can check on my PC?
    I've searched the forums and can't see any messages related to this subject apart from one and the suggested solution was to check the mute button wasn't on, obviousy I have checked this one ;o), and the problem is elsewhere.
    HELP!!! I'm dying to get a mix recorded onto MP3!!!
    Thanks a lot for your help!
    Regards
    Rob

    Rob,
    Well if it isn't working on either input then it is most likely a software problem. Is this a platinum version of the Audigy 2? If so you may want to check your mixer and make sure that line2/mic2 is also unmuted to test from it. If this isn't a Platinum dri've, was this card installed in a prebuilt system? Then the front connecter may override the back one. I would launch the Window's mixer, go to options and make sure that every control has a checkmark in it. Then go down the line and make sure nothing is muted. This is mainly a double check step.
    I am not sure what else could cause the line in not to work, you might want to consider contacting support directly in this case.

  • Setup could not detect any Sound Blaster Audigy card on your system

    Hi from Barcelona!
    I've a Soun Blaster Audigy card (Model: SB0090)
    I tried to install the Audigy software and drivers from the original product CD but Setup was unable to find Augigy hardware and halted the installation!
    "Setup could not detect any Sound Blaster card on your system. Please ensure that your Sound Blaster hardware is properly installed before running this Setup program"
    By the way. Manually the sound drivers can be installed working only front speakers of the 5. Creative system
    I tried a clean installation of Windows XP and Windows 2000 PRO (reformatted the hard dri've) but Audigy install CD still could not find Audigy hardware.
    I've changed the card to a different PCI slot with the same results!!! Damaged?
    What is happening? I need a solution!! Many users have this problem to with other Sound Blaster cards and models...

    ADSLNEW wrote:
    It seems to be an important BUG of Creative Sound Blaster Audigy cards related with EEPROM!!!
    Yes, indeed, that is my theory as well. After much ****hing and on-line research, it seems that this problem has been around since 2002. From Creative Labs point of view, it appears they view this as "pilot error" -- the user has installed the card in a system that is not fully compliant with the latest standards -- specifically Microsofts ACPI (configuration and power management). A wide variety of configurations and/or actions seem to cause the PCI subsystem ID in the Audigy EEPROM to be erroneously overwritten -- including certain older motherboards, certain older PCI cards, and perhaps other actions.
    Once the subsystem ID in the EEPROM is overwritten and has garbage information, many or all of the Creative applications cease working and various sound problems can arise. Attempts to reinstall the driver or update to the latest driver consistently fail becuase of the dreaded "Setup could not detect any Sound Blaster Audigy card in your system..." error message.
    There appear to be four fixes:
    ) Get a replacement Audigy card from Creative, but <EM>only</EM> after you perform their prescribed troubleshooting steps to prove that the card is indeed the source of the problem. Apparently, the steps include installing the card in another PC. Apparently, Creative in Europe is more willing to replace your card than Creative in the US. It's up to Creative Labs whether or not they issue you an RMA ("Return Material Authorization").
    However, this fix will fail if the root causes of the EEPROM error are not corrected. Apparently, Creative Tech Support isn't always a foolproof source of guidance, so the burden is on you. The root cause MUST be corrected before the new card is installed, or the same problem will happen all over again. Eliminating the root cause may involve replacing your motherboard, replacing other PCI cards, or manual configuration (disabling ACPI).
    2) Reprogramming the EEPROM. This is for advanced PC owners only, because it involves desoldering the EEPROM, programming it, and resoldering (and even lifting some pins to prevent reprogramming). There are instructions on how to do this posted in the German Creative Labs discussion board, by a Russian (!). I have links for those who are interested.
    3) Removing the Creative drivers and software (using Clean Sweep procedures and third party utilities), updating again using Windows XP SP2, then physically moving the card to different PCI slots (multiple times if necessary), until ACPI Bios writes the proper information into the EEPROM. You can then reload the drivers.
    Again, the root causes of the problem must be removed or your fix will only be temporary (a day or two). This solution also seems to be very dependent on the specifics of your system (motherboard, PCI cards, etc.).
    4) Some people have had success in by-passing the step in the driver installation process where they check for the Audigy card subsystem ID, using a utility called CTZAPxx on the installation CD. Then then manually install each of the applications they need to use.
    5) Use the open source driver from the kX Project (http://kxproject.lugosoft.com/index.php). This driver (and associated utilities) does not depend on the detailed configuration of the card (i.e. they don't check subsystem ID) and appear to work fine even with cards with corrupted EEPROM.
    This driver is aimed primarily at computer music applications, and opens up the on-card signal processing capabilities. The downside is that the Audigy 2 ZS does not have all of it's capabilities supported <EM>yet </EM>(e.g. Dolby Digital decoding, S/PIF passthrough, possibly some game sound features, THX, 24-bit recording, support for Hyperthreading CPUs, etc.). But scanning over the discussion boards, the user community seems to be MUCH happier with the performance and support associated with these drivers than with Creative's.
    This is the direction I'm going. I'm not a big gamer and I don't really care about the latest in home theater audio performance. Basic 5. surround sound is all I care about, and I'm much more interested in computer music capabilities.
    I have also lost faith in Creative Labs as a vendor to provide the support I want and need going forward. Just imagine if the Creative Labs were running the Space Shuttle program :smileysurprised:.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Help with an Older Sound Blaster Audigy Card! Computer freezing on driver upda

    Hey everyone,
    I'm new to these forums and dont know if anyone still has experience with the older cards.
    I've had a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum for about 6 years now and noticed some popping and sometimes the card began to emit a high pitched whining sound. Thus I decided to install the newest drivers (can't hurt can it's)
    However, when I finished installing the drivers, my system refuses to start. Sometimes it's at the Windows login screen, sometimes right after.
    I finally got something that may be the reason why my system is hanging. I have a message that pops up that says:
    Box Name: ReadReg Application :Version 6.0..36
    Message: Completing installation of your audio card
    ??? Please wait.
    My computer is now frozen.
    Here are my system specs if it helps
    P4 2.66Ghz
    ASUS P4S800D-X
    PNY 6800GT
    SB Audigy 2 Platinum
    GB Corsair XMS3200C2PT (2x52MB)
    Windows XP Pro
    DVD+/-RW DL
    DVD ROM
    After I did a system restore, the sound driver was missing. Said Creative Audigy in the driver section with the yellow exclamation mark. I installed the new drivers again with the same problem.
    Any help is welcome!? Thank you for your time and consideration.

    I would:
    Pull the sound card.
    Start up.Enter the BIOS setup utility to make sure your MB recognizes the change.
    Save the BIOS
    Start again.
    If Windows works.
    Run a thorough virus scan (I hope you're running some reputable anti-virus software!!!)
    Install Service Pack 3.
    Re-install the sound card..
    I'll bet Windows finds a driver for it that works. If not, run Windows update manual and see if there's a driver update for the card.
    If none of the above helps, well... I confess, I reinstall Windows at the drop of a hat and that usually solves all problems. Do it on a Sunday so you can watch football while Windows churns.
    Power Quest Dri've image has saved me from the Windows install horror on many occasions. I think Symantec has pulled the program but there must be something similar out there. Buy it. And in the future, remember, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!
    Good luck.

    Thanks for help
    Therock500

    It really depends on what you're doing and your speaker configuration.
    If it is cheap in comparison to other price checking, it may be worth it.
    I have the exats same board and used the onboard sound for a few months until I got sick of it not doing what I was used to like the MCP-T southbridge of the NF1 & 1 (Soundstorm) I wasn't using digital out and I have the speakers in my signature. With my TV card, I was unable to get sound in all 4 speakers correctly and I was unable to control the bass. I had tried both the drivers from the CD and the latest Realtek drivers.
    I just did not like it much at all so I had a SB live 5.1 card I had lying on a shelf. I downloaded the latest drivers with the same skepticism as TireSmoke has. My findings are that the drivers have greatly improved and you don't have to install the bloated utilities that are associated with Creative drivers. It worked the way I wanted it to for the most part without any issue.
    What I found is the onboard sound seems a little deeper and warmer as opposed to the Creative solution but I was willing to give that up for the functionality. The Creative sounds a little stronger in the midrange and highs and the Bass was just slightly muted but still acceptable.
    I then graduated to the Audigy 2 ZS in my signature and the sound is slightly better and I have to say that Creative is doing a better job with the drivers. I did install with all the options just to see what impact it all has. I have to say, my only complaint is the look and feel of the interfaces still look a little cheesy but I have the option to disable most of that or simply not install any of it except the drivers.

  • 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.

  • Vista drivers problems Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Noteb

    First thing to do: haveyour systemchecked out, if windows says the hardware is failing there may really be something wrong with it.
    If the SB card works in an XP machine there may be a problem in the the PCI slot or controller on the motherboard, either way have a tech shop look at it. If thehardware allchecks out: before putting the card back in completely delete the old driver and software, download the new one without installing it, then put the card in and windows should try to auto-install with the new driver.P.S. the platinum version is the one with thecontrol panel that slots into a dri've bay, if you have one of those, it's a platinum, if not, it's a regulHi all, how are you
    I have a Sony VAIO VGN-SZ430N/B notebook, and I'm trying to install Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Notebook on it (Unfortunately, the notebook came with windows vista business from factory).
    This notebook has a Texas Instruments PCMCIA controller.
    Under "Device Manager" the PCMCIA controller is described as "Texas
    Instruments PCI-8x2/7x2/6x2 CardBus Controller", but on Sony's
    webpage the driver that seems to be related to it is "Texas

    It is kind of all in one solution from Texas Instruments (PCMCIA
    controller, Memory Card reader, and Firewire controller).
    Please, may someone help me to answer the questions bellow
    1)Are there any kind of compatibility problem between this notebook PCMCIA controller (described above), and Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Notebook
    2)I've already brought this notebook to Sony's support service, so they could verify if there is any kind of hardware problem with the notebook. Sony's technician wasn't able to find any hardware problems on it, but I'm experiencing the problem described below:
    2.)Every time that I plug this sound card on my notebook, and I try to install Creative's latest windows Vista drivers(Creative Sound Blaster Audigy series Vista Driver 2.2.0002), thus It leads me to a Blue Screen during the driver installation process.

    The best advice I can give is to fully remove ALL Creative software.We've compiled a list of entries that will cause problems here. It's very important before installing newer files.http://nomoregoatsoup.wordpress.com/...tall-problems/Then install some better drivers and see if that cures your issues. The 2.2.0002 drivers are really, really awful, 99% of people I've spoken to had problems with them. I personally like 2.5.0002 Hope this helps.

  • Sound Blaster Audigy with 5.1 Speakers prob

    I have 5. speakers with a sound blaster audigy sound card. I've installed all the drivers and additional programs but it looks like my 2 rear speakers are not working. I thought maybe it was some kind of speaker problem but when i switched the 2 rear with the 2 front then the rear worked but front didn't. In the surround mixer i tested the 5. and here are the results:
    - Front Left (Sound: OK, Speaker: OK)
    - Center (Sound: NO SOUND)
    - Front Right (Sound: OK, Speaker: OK)
    - Rear Left (Sound: OK, Speaker: NO - The sound comes from the center speaker)
    - Rear Right (Sound NO - It sounds very strange... bearly you can understand the words, Speaker: NO - The sound comes from the center speaker)
    The wired are set correctly i checked it and I dont know what it might be wrong. Drivers are ok and everything are installed. Help please.

    "I thought maybe it was some kind of speaker problem but when i switched the 2 rear with the 2 front then the rear worked but front didn't."
    Does this not indicate two of the speakers are not physically working? Or have a mis-interpreted?

  • Can not detect Sound Blaster Audigy 2 on this sys

    Im having trouble install drivers (apart from the old CD ones and some out of date ones) all the latest drivers or beta drivers say they cannot detect my card. I have an Sound Blaster Audigy 2 OEM which i bought nearly 2 years ago. I've tried swapping it to a different pci slot but makes no different Constant crashes when playing openal games. Even if i install the lates openal file. But i need to find out why i can't install the newest drivers and why they say i haven't got an audigy 2 when i have. In my device manger even says that its an "Creative SB Audigy 2 (WDM)" My system is as follows...
    Windows XP Proffesional SP2 32Bit
    P4 3.0ghz
    .25Gb DDR 400 Ram
    Geforce 6800 Ultra 256Mb
    Asustek P4P800-E Deluxe Motherboard
    Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 OEM
    PCTV Rave TV card
    Please some one help me, it will be greatly appreciated. If you need anymore info please let me know ( i may uninstall and remove the tv card just to get it off my list of perhaps the audio part of the tv card could be interfering ?)Message Edited by Alexia on -2-2005 :52 PM

    I am getting the exact same problem. Just downloaded the "Creative Sound Blaster Audigy unified series Beta driver with OpenAL support 2.08.0002" for my soundcard which is an Audigy 2 OEM (Model No. SB0240).
    I am using WIndows Media Center Edition 2005, but when I try to install the beta drivers, I get the following error message:
    "Setup is unable to detect a supported product on your system. Please ensure that your product is properly installed before running this setup program
    Setup will exit."
    My Device Manager shows Creative SB Audigy 2 (WDM) with driver version as follows:
    Driver Provider: Creative
    Driver Date: 23/06/2004
    Driver Version: 5.2..444
    I am currently hearing sound fine (so the soundcard is installed correctly), but the sound keeps cutting out from games that use OpenAL.
    Anyone else getting this problem? How did you fix it's

  • Bug in Sound Blaster Audigy 2

    Hi,
    I'm experiencing something that is annoying. I noticed it long ago and it continues happening even with all the updates installed:
    Windows XP SP2
    DirectX 9.0c
    Drivers:
    Control Panel, Creative SB Audigy 2 NX, shows 2004/04/9 for the windows driver.
    Firmware: ..0509
    I installed the latest drivers found HERE (http://es.europe.creative.com/support/downloads/download.asp)
    called "Creative USB Sound Blaster Audigy 2 NX update .00.000" (4 Feb 2005)
    EAX Console version: 2.07.0
    What is the problem?
    Well... I have 5. soundsystem, and I choose "Surround Stereo" in the CMSS 3D option.
    Each time I shut down the sound card PRESSING THE BUTTON or either turn of the system, I have to re-click this option button.
    This is, the system saves the settings correctly, and if I open the EAX Advanced HD again, I find it selected, but when I re-click it again, then the sound gets surround.
    Hope it gets fixed, as its a very annyoing thing.
    Thanks in advance,
    PS: If this is not the place to put this, please tell me insted of simply ignoring it.

    There IS a problem with this. I have experienced it in two different configurations, and yes, I have everything updated. As you can see I STILL have the problem... (I don't remember when I posted the first post). I also contacted Creative Support, and although it being fast, they did not test it. I simply got answers once and again about unsinstalling the drivers and some other things on my computer and install again.
    I don't know how to report this to a developer or someone who can take some minutes to test it and say "hey yes... it's true!".
    The problem with this is that you DON'T notice it at all.. you hear 5., all seems OK, untill you re-click again the "surround stereo" option.. it's in that moment when you notice that the volume and the quality increases... I guess people is using their 5. like in surround but not at 00% quality.
    Sad, but it's the way it is I guess...
    Now this is my day by day... Plug the NX, open EAX, select surround... and if I previously used my headphones (on the speakers) I have ALSO to switch from 2 speakers to 5. and then EAX and surround (although it's always clicked...)
    I'm not asking for help, or suggestions. I just want someone who cares at Creative to know about this... Well of course, if someone has a suggestion or can help in a way that can make me forget about opening EAX console... it's welcome.
    Thanks again for reading or for any help.
    Regards.
    PS: I'm thinking on replying to creative again, but I guess I will get the same answer...
