Installing surround mixer T

I just reinstalled XP. I have an Audigy 2 ZS. I downloaded the drivers and everything works fine except that I'm missing the Creative Labs tray icon with surround mixer, speaker settings...etc. I'm assuming it just wasnt included in the driver download. Where/how can I get this installed? Any help is appriciated.
By the way, the driver file I installed was:
Filename: SBAX_WEBUP_LB_2_08_0004.exe
Thanks

I have renewed my primary HD.
I have installed OS Windows XP Professional and reinstalled sound card drivers (everyone and up to date).
My sound card is (again) Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum.
I inquiry to test (Creative diagnostic, System in Control Panel, ecc ecc)....
every answer tell me that's all ?OK? but ...<only Wave Studio work fine!!!
I attempt a lot of solution but "control fader" show me only a red cross in tool bar, "surround mixer "don't march, ecc ecc
ciao

Install Surround Mixer separat

so I just downloaded and installed the latesat drivers for my Audigy 4 (SBAX_WBUP2_LB_2_09_006.exe), and I found that the tray icon (with the Speaker Settings, EAX Console, Surround Mixer and stuff) was missing. Apparently it's not bundled in the downloadable drivers
how can I get these back? I tried popping in the Driver/Apps disc and install every app separately, but it only gives me an error message (error -6003). If I choose "Install Audigy 4" from the Autoplay I guess it will also install the older drivers, and override the new ones?
The only thing I have now is the AudioConsole, which lacks some of the features I want (such as Bass Redirection)

Cirap,
No Custom tab? What did you see there? Did you at least see a Modify or Add tab? If you can see those, you can use that.

How do I get my old Surround Mixer recording sources back?

I recently had my computer repaired where I basically had a complete overhaul. In the process they installed a second soundcard (the one that went with the new motherboard) alongside my original Creative Sound Blaster Audigy card (Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum eX). Before, when I would record audio into my computer, I opened the Surround Mixer software and in the record pulldown menu it showed all of the inputs as they relate to my Audigy interface (SPDIF, Aux In 2, Line In 2, etc.). Now when I open the Surround Mixer software, I only get generic options such as Analog Mix, CD Digital, Microphone, etc. and therefore I can't get any outside audio into my computer.
I figured the computer?was defaulting to the?new sound card so I disabled the onboard audio in my BIOS and then installed the Creative Sound Blaster Series 2 Driver. I clicked on the driver and it said that it needed to uninstall another driver that was already there. The install went a little funny and it got hung up a couple of times. Then, I couldn't get Surround Mixer to work at all so I went to the Creative website and installed Software Auto Update. I downloaded and installed all the critical components?but that also went a little funny. It took about three tries and it didn't seem like it actually finished installing, but when I checked on Auto Update again, it said that I was up to date and that everything had installed. I noticed at the beginning that it installed a new version of Surround Mixer but when I opened it later, it still had those same generic options, not the the ones that match my external interface.
What do I need to do to get my original settings back?

>Re: How do I get my old Surround Mixer recording sources back?p audiodrome,
Is the external Audigy Dri've properly connected? Does the Plat Ex have the rear jacks? If so, can you record from the rear LineIn or mic jack and play sound files through headphones or speakers? What happens when you run the Creative Diagnostic? What does Device Manager show? Otherwise, yes, uninstall and reinstall the Creative software. If your install CD has a repair option, try that first. However, you may find you need to remove the Audigy from your PC, reboot without it, and then reinstall everything. Some Soundblaster cards don't play well with some integrated soundcards, so you may also want to disable the integrated soundcard in BIOS.

Live!Surround speaker setting not showing in surround mixer for SB Live Platinum

the Li've!Surround option for speaker settings in not showing in my Surround Mixer
i have:
Windows 2000 sp4
SB Li've! Platinum 5.
ASUS CUSL2
Sound Blaster Li've! - Li'veDrvUni-Pack (English) SBLW-XPWEB-W4-US 28-Feb-03
Installed the speaker preset for li've!surround but the only headphone, 2 speaker, 4 speaker, and 5. speaker shows up on speaker configuration of the Surround Mixer
i've played the AC3 files on the cdrom and Dolby pro logic surround, I get sound from all fi've speakers on my Denon D-850 w/ Dolby surround pro-logic
I can't use the surround mixer to test all the speakers, only front left and right speakers work on the test, i have to open to wav files directly to test the center speaker, the rear speaker test doesn't work from the wav file
My Denon system only has analog stereo inputs, so this is my only option for letting Sound Blaster know I have 5 speakers.
I've uninstalled all SB Li've software and drivers from the unipack, and reinstalled the orignal drivers and apps from the CD-ROM SBP5-CDSD-W-US MID : 32680 5-Sep-2000 and the Li've!Surround speaker setting reappears in the Surround Mixer.
Is the Li've!Surround setting no longer available in the new Surround Mixer in Li'veDrvUni-Pack (English) SBLW-XPWEB-W4-US 28-Feb-03 ?

so I found this post...
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...7?dmode=source
it seems Li've Surround is no longer supported in the new drivers
....so what would be the best setting to play ac3 files or DVD's through my receiver with only 2 analog inputs (left and right) available w/ Dolby surround prologic. Should I set it to 2 speaker or 4 speaker setting in the Surround Mixer in order to send the best signal to the prologic decoder on my receiver with 5 speakers (2 front, center, 2 rear)

Surround Mixer for Audigy and Windows 7?

Hello,
I've just installed Windows 7 and I see that the old XP Surround Mixer is no longer working.
I know that?Windows has a sound?mixer, but it is?really annoying and incomplete.
Is there a functional Creative Surround Mixer that I can use with Windows 7?

I would like answers to your question also. Since re-installing, & losing surround mixer, I have sacrificed?most functions with regards to 5./7. sound. As you say, Window's own software is sub-standard when using the card. I love the Audigy2 ZS Platinum and want to get it up and running to its full glorious potential.
?PLEASE PLEASE CREATIVE?PROVIDE US WINDOWS 7 USERS WITH A NEW UPDATED?VERSION OR A VIABLE ALTERNATIVE.
Yours in anticipation
Dave

Just select custom install and only install the apps you want, and make sure to uncheck the driver.

Audigy 2 ZS - Surround Mixer - REC setting greyed

Hi! I can't select my sound input device in the surround mixer anymore. Here is a picture:
<img alt="mixer" width="500" src="http://img95.imageshack.us/img95/09/mixeriq.jpg" height="302" title="mixer">
As you can see the slider is greyed out. My microphone works just fine, but I cannot adjust the volume anymore.
I'm using Windows XP, I recently installed Skype and TeamSpeak (checked both programs, the input settings are NOT on "automatic", so the Creative Surround Mixer should be where I adjust the input volume)
I can use the windows settings to select another recording device and adjusting the volume also works, but I want to use the creative mixer, this worked in the past and I want it back
Any ideas? Maybe I'm missing something important.

Hmm no but I reinstalled the latest driver (7 Jul 08)
http://de.europe.creative.com/support/downloads/download2.asp?MainCategory=&Product=495&dlcentric= 058&Product_Name=Audigy+2+ZS&filetype=&OSName=Wind ows+XP
Is that one bugged? Should I downgrade to the driver on the CD?

/Re: Audigy 2 ZS and Surround Mixer in Windows 7? i got problem with recording any sound. Recorded sounds are terrible. Sometimes playing sounds are terrible too. i should restart pc for fix playing terrible sound.
i found 2 third-party driver but i didnt tried. Because of decription of 3rd-party driver ;
There is no DirectSound hardware acceleration on Windows XP 64-bit (x64)
The Audigy driver does not support 64-bit addressing, disabling the DirectSound hardware acceleration and causing multichannel sound to be played only in the stereo channels (front left/right).
Workarounds:
- install the 32-bit (x86) version of Windows XP.
- limit to less than 4GB the amount of RAM available to Windows.
- enable the ?Memory Hole? setting in the BIOS Setup, if your motherboard supports it.
Microphone issues on Windows 7/Vista 64-bit (x64) with 4GB?of RAM or more
Audigy driver does not support 64-bit addressing, resulting in random issues with the Microphone (static, robotic or distorted voice, white noise).
Workarounds:
- install the 32-bit (x86) version of Windows
- limit the RAM available to Windows to less than 4GB
- enable Memore Hole in BIOS Setup, if?your motherboard supports the setting

Audigy 2 ZS No mic or line-in in both Windows and with Creative Surround Mix

Happy New Year to all.
I have installed 2 ZS card. Output works well. I want to record a couple of old vinyl albums. I cant either through Creative Surround mixer or through windows get either a Line-in or microphone input to select from. I have tried everything but this forum. If anybody has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Eric

In the Creative Mixer on the right hand side you should see a separate column with a "Rec" heading. There should be a small upside-down triangle. Click on that and you should get a list. Choose "Analog Mix" which includes Microphone, Line-In, etc. Then to the left, un-mute the source you want.

SB Live Value - Where can I get the Surround Mixe

I just reinstalled my Windows and am trying to find a way to install the Surround Mixer for the SB. I can't find the original CD, and have been looking online for a couple of days already. The software used to be available in the Creative site, I think I downloaded it from there (here) the last time.. It should be available, right?

Sound Blaster XFI Surround - Need a mixer like Creative Surround Mixer

Hi I have the SB XFI Surround card which connects through USB, I had an Audigy which had a great piece of software called Creative Surround Mixer, through which I could easily adjust the sound levels of each speaker by dragging a point on the display and thus mark my location in relation to the speakers. This was really great and I need that software or something similar for my XFI, is there anything with the same functionality? I tried downloading and installing the Creative Surround Mixer but apparently it doesnt work with the XFI. Thanks

That way I still have full control over the sound output from the Yosemite machine. That isn't ideal but works good enough until they release an update.
Same issue here. Would be nice to have a working driver on OSX 10.10 !

Bass and treble control at surround mixer is disabled!!! plz h

i install my sound card and its sounds properly.but bass and treble control at surround mixer is disable.my card is sound blaster audigy value.whats the problem? is there hardware problem in my card? plz help

cold_terminator,
IIRC, that's normal for the Audigy Value. You should have the Creative Equalizer application. That takes the place of the treble and bass controls. It's more complex of course.
