Lights on Audigy 2 External Box? Monitor/Audidy Confli

I had to disconnect the power to the external breakout box as it was somehow cauing my digital flat panel to quit working. ( I know - weird!!)
I don't know if I was overloading the power supply or if there was a driver conflict. Somehow the onboard
sound module had become re-enabled.
My question is - I noticed that on occasion that one of the LEDS on the external unit was flashing red sometimes while this was happening. What does the LED on the far left stand for?
Anybody else seen a monitor/sound card conflict like this?

even i had the same problem, but i found that the AD_LINK connector was not properly connected to the soundcard. It may seem to get connected but even with a slight pull it comes out. The cabinet metal strips at the back obstruct the connector and it doesnt get connected properly.wat i did was, before installing the CARD on to the slot, i connected the AD_LINK first and then put it in the slot.
This problem generally doesnt occur with the FIREWIRE connector as theres plenty of room above and below the connetor. and so ur IO Box is Powering UP but fails to communicate with the sound card.

  • X-FI Elite Pro, is the floppy power connector only needed if using the external box?

    I know there is not a lot of chances of getting a reply but I thought I would ask since I just scored the card only for $28 shipped.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    just thought I'd jump on the band wagon on this one for some advice.
    I have installed a X-FI Elite Pro in my PC running Vista Ultimate (not dual boot) and have some issues.
    . My External box seems dead, the remote will not elicit any lights from it at all. I know the remote is fine because my other PC running Audigy ZS2 Pro's external box goes out in sympathy. Is there an issue with the Entertainment Centre Application, which seems absent from my install. Also When I try to install the app I get the "No IR Devices installed error".
    I understand there are issues with Vista and Drivers.
    2. There are about several different ways to set up for 7. speakers and I am runnoing Gigaworks 7.. The problem I am having here is I'm not getting surround sound. In one setup for speakers each speaker identifies correctly, but in most I do not get sound from rear speakers, and in another I don't get side speakers or rear. It seems they are mapping to front and centres, this also refers to the Sub. Running the Creative Diagnostic reports no errors, yet even it incorrectly identifies the speakers. The system was running fine on my other PC with Audigy ZS2 Pro. How can I resolve this one?
    I really want to give Vista a run before scrapping the whole lot and going back to XP.

  • Help: SB Audigy Platinum EX box drive

    I can't seem to get the external box on my Sound Blaster Audigy EX to work. I don't have the CD for it. Does it need extra drivers? If so, cand I download them from somewhere? I got the audigy drivers, and the card itself is putting out sound just fine.
    I DO have a CD for the Audigy 2ZS, if that helps in anyway...

    Hi there,
    I'm sure you can get all the drivers you need from creatives site. however, just to be sure it's functioning check the connections inside your case. Check that all the cables inside the case that connect the two cards together are properly connected. I was messed up by this twice, and I'm resonably tech savvy.
    you should also check to see if there is a red light comming out of the optical out on the front of the audigy (dont stare straight at it!) .. if the light is there when your pc is in windows. then it's most likely that it is connected correctly. if it's not, the box is not powered and will not be detected.
    i believe this is the link to the drivers you need.

  • IMAC output to external NTSC monitor

    To see FCE video and audio files from an iMAC on an external NTSC monitor, what is the best way to set this up?
    What video/audio convertor boxes are used?
    Bill

    If your camcorder doesn't support analog-digital passthrough, you will need an analog-digital converter like the Canopus ADVC-110 to connect your NTSC monitor to your Mac. You'll connect via FireWire from your Mac to the converter, and analog (composite or s-video + audio) from the converter to your NTSC monitor.

  • Timeline to External / Source Monitor

    I am presently migrating to CS5 Prod. Prem. Just recently installed all apps.
    In Prem. Pro, How can I get the footage placed in the sequence timeline to gang to the Source Monitor Panel and/or output to my external monitor? From the source monitor panel, I can select the sequence, but when I manually scrub back and forth thru the sequence using the timeline there is no output to the external tv monitor, only to the desktop program monitor within the PP workspace.
    Thanks in advance for the help. I'm sure I'll have many more questions. I'm migrating over from A/ FCS3.
    - John

    no go... I can only output to the external monitor through the Source Monitor. When I try to turn off output from the program monitor, I just get a little dialog box saying Turn Off Dropped Frame Warning with a check box and okay button. My output seems to be locked to the Source monitor. I am able to bring up the dialog boxes you spoke of in the Program monitor.
    I'm outputting thru a Blackmagic Intensity Pro HDMI/Component/Composit pci card. The card has it's own panel in System Preferences of the OS and is outputting thru HDMI to the external monitor. As I said, I'm able to output from the Source Monitor in PP, but not the Program Monitor in PP. The timeline seems locked to the Program monitor, Is there a way to link the timeline to the Source Monitor, instead of the Program Monitor?
    Thanks again,
    J.

  • External Video Monitoring-In HDV

    How I view my HD fotage in an external monitor for editing?
    According (Help menu in FCP New features) in FCP "You can now output to external video interfaces whose settings don’t match those of
    your sequence. Here are some examples of some of the possibilities:....." and the list begins.
    Ive tried a few suggestion from the list no luck.
    If you know what info Im missing or where I need to go for the answer, thanks
    Im editing with FCP 6.0.5 Sony camcorder HYR Z7U

    To view HD you need a third party card/external box to do the real time conversion to play on an external monitor.
    AJA, Blackmagic and Matrox all make products that will work with FCP. They range in cost from under $300 to over $3000. Just depends on your computer and the features you need.
    Oh, and you need a monitor as well.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 with external HDMI monitor

    Hello all
    Is it possible to use an HDMI monitor as an external preview monitor when editing with Premiere Pro CS6?  If so, then how is it connected, and where can i find the correct tick box in
    Premiere Pro CS6?  I have an apple iMac (early 2009) intel core 2 Duo (if this is relevant).
    I need to be sure of the correct colour/look output, etc.
    Any advice would be greatfully received.
    Thanks
    Karl.

    Hi Ferret Head,
    Please go to premiere pro>preferences>playback
    and check the option for the second monitor under video device.
    Thanks

  • Using my mid 2012 MB Air with an external HDMI monitor question.

    Am wanting to use my mid 2012 MacBook Air 13 inch running Mavericks with an external HDMI monitor.
    I've got a thunderbolt to HDMI adapter which I've plugged in and am able to redirect the sound to my speaker equipped external monitor by choosing it in the sound output preferences box.
    BUT I've got a picture displayed on both my air and monitor.
    My question - is it possible to switch the display so that it only shows on the external monitor - I'm only wanting to display the same picture on both displays.
    Finally is it possible to show one screen on the Air and a different one on the HDMI Monitor.
    Thankd

    Try  > System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement > Mirror Displays (or not).

  • Windows 10 upgrade does not detect external hdmi monitor

    Hi I have just upgraded my laptop yoga 2 11 to windows 10.I use an external hdmi monitor at the office desk with the previous windows 8.1 and no problems, but once I upgraded two hours ago to windows 10I my external monitor is not detected by windows10. what should i do?? Best regards, Martin

    I have ENVY 15 K101TX; and I'm facing the same problem after upgrading to WIN10.Whenever I try to shut down the Laptop, it just doesn't shutdown completely. The screen goes blank but the power light and fan stays on. I have to press & hold to shut down the laptop. And we all know it's not a solution.And it also doesn't come back after sleep mode. I have to force shut down and start it again.I have checked all the power options and have tried all the things possible.Any one?

  • SB A2ZS Platinum Pro external box seems to be d

    How do I know if the external box works at all?
    I've installed all software and drivers after the box was connected to the internal card with the bundeled cable.
    I have no light on the external box.
    Line-In and Headphone are dead.
    What can be wrong?

    There should be a light coming out of the Optical Out, if you remove the little black button/cover in it.
    There should be the external cable of course going to the external dri'vebay, but you should also have a power cable connected internally. You can check the connections in the manual, there is a diagram that lists these and where to find them. If all the cables are connected properly and it still doesn't work, I would suggest trying to disconnect another device, such as a DVD-ROM or extra harddri've, in case the power supply isn't strong enough.
    Otherwise it's possible there is a (hardware) problem with the dri've or one of the cables. Contact Customer Support for further assistance, and they'll be happy to go over the configuration with you to see what could be causing the problem.

  • Audigy 1 Platinum box compatible with X-

    I've never seen this question asked so apologies if this has already been covered. I have an Audigy Platinum and now want to upgrade to X-Fi.
    Is it possible to go for the XtremeMusic X-Fi and use my existing breakout box or have the interfaces / connections all changed now - the Fataty internal box looks the same as the Platinum's external box which is why I'm asking.
    Thanks for any help received.

    Ok thanks I'd thought as much as I ordered up an Elite Pro Yesterday.
    Any further timescales for deli'very for the drivers - I'm aware of the fact that there is a workaround but I'd much rather get the proper drivers.
    Thanks.

  • External NTSC Monitor - 4:3 and 16:9 Question

    I'm trying to find a configuration setting in FCP 5.0 when outputting to an external NTSC monitor that will force the image to "letterbox", rather than crop to 4:3.
    I have a nice Sony NTSC monitor, but it's not the model that allows switching between 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios, unfortunately.
    I don't want to have to replace this monitor at this time.
    I see in the latest version of After Effects I can force the image to "letterbox" in the external monitor. I tested it, and it works perfectly.
    Ironically, PhotoShop CS3 does NOT allow you to letterbox your preview to an external monitor. A widescreen formatted file appears cropped in my monitor.
    So, my question is can I do this in FCP 5.0? Why am I stuck with a cropped image from a 720x480 aspect ratio? Is there a setting somewhere that will force the preview to letterbox on my monitor?
    On a similar note, what will we use to replace NTSC monitors if you're shooting and editing HD?
    Thanks so much.

    FCP will not unsqueeze the image for you...you need a monitor that has this option.
    what will we use to replace NTSC monitors if you're shooting and editing HD?
    And HD monitor. But then you need some sort of HD capture card or output device (unless you are working with DVCPRO HD)...even HDV. And then you will need an HD monitor. The cheapest solution might be the Decklink Intensity and small HDTV...the intensity has HDMI out. But this only works if you have a MacPro. The MATROX MXO is next, and it connects via DVI. It can output a signal to an HDTV (component), or to an Apple Cinema Display or Dell 24" Display. That gets you broadcast quality on a computer monitor...believe it, or not!

  • External NTSC monitor setup

    When I use an external NTSC monitor connected to an Apple DVI to video adaptor then to a Radeon 800XT video card I have many crashes. It seems like these are caused by the External monitor setup. I would to know what sort step up others are using for external video. And what kind of success you are having with them.
    Thanks
    Ken

    I to have had the same problem, in fact, I just posted about it a few days ago. Hopefully Apple's monitoring this forum and looking at the issue. The only solution I've found is to disable the external preview, which is quite frustrating. Just a question have your crashed happened while you're working or when you perform application switching. I've only had problems when I apple-tab to another program and then do the same to get back into Motion.

  • Playback on External NTSC Monitor

    My deck in my non-linear editing system is the Panasonic AG-DV2500. I have always had an external "client monitor" which was a Sony NTSC studio monitor hooked up to the "output" of the deck. This time, I have one of the Sony LCD studio monitors. When I capture, the video in the capture window is in sync with the NTSC monitor. But when I put the captured video on the timeline and play it, the video and audio is out of sync on the external NTSC monitor. What am I doing wrong? There has always been a slight delay between the playback window in Premier and the external monitor, but not like this!

    I guess it's more accurate to say that there is a dramatic delay in the video between what I'm seeing in the playback window on my computer monitor and what I'm seeing on the external NTSC monitor. The audio does not have that delay, so on the external monitor the audio and video are out of sync. It makes it difficult to show anyone what you're working on, which is what the "client" monitor is supposed to do.
