Line out on Audigy 2 vs Audigy 2 va

I?m thinking of changing my Audigy 2 value card for a used ?full? Audigy 2 (model SB0240). First of all, I don't see a "plain" version on www.creative.com . What's it proper name (the card was manufactured in 2002)?
The thing I first noticed is that when I tried to use my headphones on "plain" version (Sennheiser HD555 50 ohm or Philips SBC HP 20, I think they?re 6 ohm), I get a much much worse/weaker sound than on the value version (value is from 2004, while full version is from 2002). The sound is something similar to listening a pair of headphones with volume to the max, but from one meter distance. Am I doing something wrong, or this is a normal thing? Should I enable some options to get proper strenght from the line-out? Or on this older version line out is used only for that and a proper headphones out is provided only through a dri've bay in platinum version?
It's a real pitty, since I'm getting this "plain" version real cheap and it's in mint condition, but I upgraded from SoundStorm to Audigy 2 value primarily because of the good line out for headphones... Now I have to return it bc of this and... and I'd like to avoid that

PS CAn I use any of the programs from the full version CD on Value card?

  • No signal from audigy 2zs line out j

    Hey there....due to a virus, I recently had to format my dri've and reinstall XP and all my apps including software for my Audigy 2 ZS soundcard. Before the format I had my sound and video card connect to my TV to extend my PC display and audio to my home entertainment system. The external speakers were connected through the line out # jack on the rear of the sound card and I could hear everything playing just fine when my TV was on and the correct video signal line input was selected (video #2 in my case), but now I can't hear anything (video is playing back fine on the TV, just with no sound). I've checked my audio settings and I think they're correct - if there is a mute switch for any of the line out jacks in the creative audigy software or in windows' volume control panel I sure can't find it.
    I'm sure its a settings thing because I didn't touch the cable connections, and I double checked to ensure they are all connected tightly/correctly as they were before the reinstall.
    If anybody has any pointers, man that would be helpful....thanks!

    Yup, my digital speakers are connected through the digital out jack.
    Device manager shows the device working correctly - no issues or exclamation marks.
    Not one ioda of hardware was moved, not one cable unplugged or any other config changed before or after the re-formatting of the hard dri've. Software o/s and applications only.
    The soundblaster card properties in device manager shows no conflicts....everything is working fine, but there is a setting somewhere that is being missed I suspect; I have gone ever every option in all of the soundblaster audigy audio control software installed that came bundled with the card, checked online for latest drivers which I've got installed, and did a clean uninstall/reinstall using creative's 6 step-by-step guide. I also checked all windows xp based audio controls even though I've checked the option that enables the audigy controls to sync with the windows ones as you probably already know.
    To my knowledge, there is no way to disable line out signal from this card - its there, you plug in your external and go. And with no config changes at all, no hardware changes, no cables unplugged etc. I don't know what else to do. (except email creative support which I did a few minutes ago).
    Thanks Katman.

  • DJ Mixer recieving audigy 2 line-out at very low levels

    Hello to everyone on the forum.
    I am having a problem hooking up my Numark 5000FX mixer to my audigy 2 soundcard. What I am trying to do is have two 2cm line out to RCA cables from front/rear speaker out on the card to two phono channels on the mixer. The phono inputs are set to line on the mixer.
    The mixer is recieving this "line level output" at levels that barely register on the pre fader meters. Meanwhile, I have an old pre-amped philips turntable that I can connect to the mixer the same way and it works fine (peaking at 0dB).
    All the levels from the soundcard are at maximum, and the gain on the mixer is at max also.
    Does anyone know what could be causing this?
    Thanks for your time,
    Kim

    This may have been the wrong section to post this in, sorry. Maybe if a mod could move it...

  • Audigy 2 ZS | Separate Line out 1 (headphones) and Line out 2 (speakers)?

    Hello,
    I was wondering if it's possible to Setup a 4 speaker setup, having headphones in Line out 1 and my stereo speakers in Line out 2, and using something like Virtual Audio Cable to reroute audio from Teamspeak to my headphones, and everything else to my speakers? I don't have a front headphones panel. I have attempted to reroute audio but it doesn't seem to work. Am I doing something wrong or is there a different way?
    Thank You

  • In the grand sceme of things, how out dated is a Audigy 2 zs gamer editi

    I was out at a garage sale today and found a Audigy 2 zs gamer card and picked it up for 3 bucks. I really haven't updated a computer for gaming in probably 5 years or so and wanted to know how old or out dated this card was. I realise the x-fi's are out and there probably isn't even a comparsion but for 3 bucks did i get a deal? I have a super old rig that im planning to upgrading for as cheaply as possible and also wondered if this card would work or if it was to out dated for anything good like half-life 2 or something to that standard.

    Nice I paid over 00 ? for my Audigy player Audigy cards are still very good cards. But quality on XFI is much better. Tip:?Download only the nnewest driver?Download AudioHQ (AHQ)?Install these two packs. Run for gold ?At this time, Audigy will run better than X-FI cards. Half- Life2 sounds better(X-FI will produce some cut- offs in sound, especially the trains in the game will only sound flat, there is something wrong with it ), and is the best sounding game for Audigy cards. Only in Battlefield2 there should be higher quality with X-FI. (Dont played this game, i dont know really)If you want to know whats different beetween Audigy cards wich is important in the future: X-RAM, and 28 channels. Thats the big difference beetween these cards. Quality: EAX effects/ DSP usage will produce barely hearable noise on Adigy cards, especially with higher- end headphones. Noise is produced in X-FI cards also, but you wont hear it anymore. CMSS is still there on Audigy cards, but i would say you should disable it if you want to play games wich support 5. sourround sound and EAX, because CMSS will suck up the whole power out of this card. But try for your self.

  • Line Out 1

    Hello,
    i have the SB Audigy 2 ZS and a Logitech 2. Soundsystem but also a Headset (Phone + Micro) for use when gaming and using voice coms.
    So here is my problem. In my current speakersystem i am only able to plug in the Headphone into an aditional plug, but not the microphone. But for using my Headset when gaming i need the micros also so i have to plug it into the SB Audigy into Line out 2 and the micro into micro. So far so good, but when i select in the audiopreferences / Speakersetup " speakersystem or headphones i only get sound at Line out and Line out 2 is silent.
    If i set the settings to Quadrophonic or 5. etc i get sound at Line Out 2 also but only the soundsignals that should come from behind and not the whole spectrum of sounds deli'vered.
    So is there any way to have both Line Out & 2 give me a signal good for Headphones / 2 Speaker system?
    All other ways i only have Line Out Frontsignal and Line Out 2 rear signal, what doesnt fit realy my needings.

    The soundcard is operating as designed what you need to do is set speakers to 2. and use a splitter connected to line-out .

  • Distortion workaround: can chip swap using line out jack for rear out ja

    I am using a SB Audigy EAX. My headphones sound like a blown speaker mostly out of left ear. I tryed everything including reinstalling xp on my dell and nothing worked [yes I tried other headphones to no avail]. Finally I played around with the balance and realised that the left and right channels were leaking together slightly so I think there is a physical problem on the card. As a temp solution I have set my card to use four speakers and plugged my headphones into the rear out which is a different jack on the card. It sounds fine from the rear out jack but I wish there was a way to have the card use the rear out jack for line out output. In other words is there a program or driver that can tell the chip to swap line out jack for rear out jack? My card is no longer under warranty and I only ever use heaphones. The problem with my temp solution is that some winamp plugins and games don't function properly.

    On my sound blaster ex, when connecting through the analogue 6 channel output, Line Out 3 is a 4 pole mini jack. My sound system is only 5. and doesn't need the centre rear speaker. Does any one know if in this case I can just use a standard 3 pole stereo jack for subwoofer and front center?
    For analog 5. it should work. See the user's guide.

  • No sound from Line out on X-Fi El

    I have lost my sound from the Line Outs on a X-Fi elite. Or rather I can hear it but only if the volume is a 00% and then it is very poor quality. I have been using the Headphone Jack on the breakout box and this is my first time trying the Line Out. Can somebody tell me if the Line out is supposed to be a true low power Line out or is it capable of powering unpowered speakers or some small headphones. It seems to me that headphones should work fine from the Line out, so what do you suppose my problem is? I have checked the normal (IRQ, Drivers, default device, volumes, etc.). Any ideas? I'm running an MSI Nforce3 250gb board.
    thanks...

    mr. kat,
    unfortunately, I don't have Playcenter -- I downloaded the file from Creative, and am met with the same message I receive when attempting to install Creative Recorder on win XP: nothing to upgrade, so no go on the install. I don't know how to get the data onto win XP in order for it to be upgraded. :0
    I do remember there being CMSS back when I ran this device with my win98 computer, and that probably has something to do with it. I don't have EAX console either, but I do have the EAX Control Panel (aka Audio HQ) and there were no CMSS features there.
    I have heard that one can use the SB Audigy installation with their SB Li've! cards and it will work -- have you heard anything to that effect?
    Thanks,

  • Mac Pro 2.66 Line Out not functioning.

    One of our Mac Pros on display here has a set of Altec Lansing speakers attached to it, but the line out on the back of the Mac no longer works (it did at one time). I've double-checked the settings and there is no audio coming out of the ports. However, I switch the cable to the headphone jack on the front, and boom, instant sound. Dunno why.

    This should fix your problem.
    1.1. Trash file com.apple.BezelServices.plist in your Home > Library > Preferences folder.
    1.2. Empty the Trash.
    1.3. Either Log out then log in, or restrt your Mac.
    1.4. Check the volume keys' functions a few times in the hours after performing the steps above.
    2. More than likely, an errant Startup or Login Item maybe the cause. Perhaps some third-party utility you may have
    installed to control iTunes?
    My "Troubleshooting Startup and Login Items" FAQ can help you pin that down if such an item is causing the problem.
    3. If none of the above sorts it out, after the problem occurs, immediately check these Console logs for additional clues.
    Good luck!

  • Possible to use both optical out AND regular line out at the same time?

    I currently have my computer speakers (logitech z560) hooked up to the mac pro via regular stereo jack in the back. I have an extra receiver that I would love to hook in to supply me with some needed sound for movie watching and what-not.. Is there a way to enable both line out - digital and line out at the same time?

    You can set DVD Player's "Audio output" to "Digital Out" in its "Disc Setup" preference, while other applications use Line Out.
    You could use a splitter on Line Out to feed your current speakers, and analog Line In on your receiver. When you want sound to both systems, set the receiver to Line In. When you want to watch DVDs, set it to Digital In. This will give you surround sound if the DVD has multichannel sound, and the receiver supports more than two channels.
    If you really want the same output on the Mac Pro Line Out, and Digital Out, you can use the "Auxiliary Device Output" effect in Audio Hijack Pro
    <http://www.rogueamoeba.com/audiohijackpro/>
    It will not support more than two-channel audio.

  • Can I record audio on an iPad direct from a mac via line out

    I use the noteability app alot, recording audio at a live lecture works great.  However, due to a bug you can not add an audio file directly into your notes (at the moment), you must record them.
    I have a bunch of podcasts that I would like to add to my notes.  I know I could play them from my mac and record audio through the ipads mic but what I hoped  to do was connect a male to male cable between the line out of my mac into my ipad, playing the audio without interferance.  This didn't work
    Does anyone know if there is a similar way to do this or something I could have done wrong. 
    Thanks

    yeah - you can do it, but you need an adapter.  The earphone jack on a pad is a special jack with stereo headphone uot put and a seperate mic in channel.  The adapters i have seen are usually built to accomodate a standard 1/4 in - into the pad, like the one in the attached link.  In theory, you could use the lineout on the mac, to a 1/4 in male - then into this adapter to get it back into the pad.   Somebody probably makes the cable you need with the 1/4 shift, but I couldn't find one.
    Options - in you notes, insted of copying the file, put a link to the podcast

  • Disharging with USB, Freezing on Sync, Hard Drive noise on Line Out

    I have been dealing with three issues with my 60GB iPod click wheel with color display (Photo).
    The first is something that slowly creeped in, which is hard drive noise that is audible through the line out when the iPod is charging in a dock. I'd like to say it's like a ground loop issue, but it's in my car, on my iHome, and on my apple dock when plugged into power on a stereo system. It sounds like the spinning of the hard drive is correlated to the noise.
    Second, over the past year or so, I've noticed that when I have the iPod plugged into any mac using USB, the iPod discharges. My friend has noticed the same problem on her 40GB 3rd generation iPod. We've tried them on several computers. Firewire connection, no problem, only USB when plugged into a computer, not the power adapter.
    Just recently, the iPod froze up iTunes and the rest of my Mac (G4 MDD Dual 1gHz, OS X 10.4.10, iTunes 7.4.2) during sync. I made reformatted the iPod using Disk Utility, Restored to iPod, making sure to plug into power to finish the restore, then attempted to resync. Two attempts of this and I get the same result, a freeze.
    The first two issues, I've adapted with, but this last one is just frustrating. I will attempt to sync using a firewire cable, but that should not be the solution. This iPod came with a USB cable, it should charge and sync with one. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. Thank you!

    ok I went here for instruction on how to take it apart since I wasn't having much luck on my own:
    http://www.flexbeta.net/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=20&t=8269
    his tip worked for me so far. hopefully this won't be just a temporary fix:
    Good tip: if your iPod seems dead and the hard drive is throwing errors pull out the connection at the bottom of the ipod mainboard and plug it back in, this will hard reset your ipod and worked a few times for me

  • Xbox 360 - Optical line-in pass through 5.1 to optical line-out on an iMac?

    Hi guys, i'm in the market to purchase a new 5.1 surround sound system for my room and the following issue has been purplexing me.
    IS it possible to daisy chain my XBOX 360 to my iMac with optical cables and pass through 5.1 surround sound to the decoder on the sound system?
    So i'd have an optical cable from my xbox to the line-in on my iMac. I'd use Rogue Amoeba's Line-In app to pass the sound through to the optical line-out and through to the sound system.
    (I know it works using stereo sources, but i don't know about 5.1 digital sound.)
    I also know i could just connect them both to separate optical ports on the sound sytem, but i'm trying to listen to 2 sources at the same time. (5.1 from XBOX and music from iMac).
    Any thoughts on this are appreciated!

    I'm convinced things work like this:
    The SBX-Fi receives the encoded SPDIF.<
    The drivers decode it into the 5 digital audio signals. This siimply regenerates what was put into the encoding and has no effect on its "volume."<
    The 5 digital audio signals are sent to the SBX-Fi hardware, as is.<
    The signals are widened (not sure about the SBX-Fi, but for SBLi've-/SBAudigy-series card it's 32-bits with IIRC 4 bits for headroom, which is 24dB) at input by the SBX-Fi hardware. The additional headroom is probably able to handle most effects/mixing which might happen, but might produce a signal which would clip on output if the intermediate results produce a digital volume over 00%.<
    The master output volume operates on the output signals before they are narrowed.<
    The output signals are narrowed (dithered) and distributed.<
    If that's correct, it means you should be able to simply lower the master output volume in the soundcard mixer; and that presumes something's going on like high Crystalizer settings, or something; to elminate clipping distortion.

  • No sound out of back line out MacPro Bootcamp 3.1 Windows 7 64bit

    No sound out of back line out speakers.
    MacPro Early 2008
    Bootcamp 3.1
    Windows 7 64bit
    Realtek HD audio driver.
    I have speakers plugged into the back line out.
    They work in Mac 10.6.4 (as always) and in Parallels 5 Windows 7 using Bootcamp partition.
    All other jacks work. In Realtek driver it shows nothing connected to that jack.
    Anybody else have this issue?
    Anybody else have solved this?

    Anyone at all?
    Even if you don't have the issue yet have a similar setup. Maybe I can figure out if there's a driver update I may need.
    BTW I KNOW others have this as I've seen this mentioned on other forums. What I do NOT know is whether it's "everyone" or there's something about systems that don't have this issue, I need to follow.

    So I have to reboot manual with holding power button, but cannot load osx (blank screen), I try to hold smc reset button, don't work too.

    So what is the problem?

    It's a hardware fault. I suggest you make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have it tested. It's a free service. The repair won't be free, but if it's something simple, such as a bad memory module, you may be able to fix it yourself.
