Media Source and Vista 64 quest

I have an Audigy 2 Platinum with the external panel and after I updated my os in vista 64 I can't use my instalation cd. So I download drivers and cms5 from creative official site. Now I can't rip in mp3. Is there any way of install my old cms from installation cd. Or to add this function to cms5 without paying again for something I had allready?

To your second question: This is probably what you're looking for:

Mp3gain levels out the different volumes of files.

  • Software Installation Problems with Media Source and Nomad Explo

    Hello Creative Users,
    recently I had to reinstall my operating system on the PC. I have an IBM Thinkpad R30 with a Sitecom USB2.0 pccard. I am running WinXP Pro SP2 with all latest updates.
    I have a Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra with Firmware .20.08 and an update harddri've of 80GB.
    As long as I was running the software on my previous installation everything worked fine.
    I installed the driver .26.02. This recognized the Jukebox. Musicmatch is able to communicate to the Jukebox and recognizes all files on it.
    When I installed Nomad Explorer I got an error ctregserv failed because ctin...dll is not found.
    When I tried to install Media Source from the original disk it showed an error after 30% Media Source not found. Install Media Source before continuing.
    This is what I received now with all verisons of Media Source and Noamd Explorer incl. .30.0.
    Can someone help me as synchronizing with Musicmatch is a pain.
    Thanks
    Rolf

    Hi everyone,
    as I saw many questions regarding installation problems with Mediasource or Nomad Explorer
    in this forum I will answer my own question right here. I was pointed to the answer by a friend with a similar problem on some other software.
    When trying to install the Creative software under WinXP SP2 I happens that the registration does not work. the reason are missing write attributes to the keys for
    Creative software. To correct that go to: Start, Run and enter regedit. Hit ok and you are in the registration editor.
    Find the Creative location unde HKEYS_SOFTWARE. Click right mouse button and choose
    properties.
    Check full access for your user as well the system user. click on advanced and mark both all the users you want to install from. Check the lower box below the user window sayin something about roghts being propagetd to lower folders etc. Cklick conform and ok, click confirm on previous screen and close regedit.
    Now you should be ok and able to install.
    Regards
    Rolf

  • Creative media source and Live!

    Does anybody knows what is list of selected cards that can use crossfading in Creative media source?
    Why Li've! 5. cannot? Not even EAX?
    Thanks in advance

    If you have the newer 24-bit versions of the Li've cards then disregard the following.
    Perhaps you've installed some of that updated modded stuff? (I've tried it at times too, but always returned to the official 252 driver/software Uni-Pack stuff.)
    The software you've got is not designed for the Li've series of cards. If you used the official cd's for the Audigy 2 series (not ZS), it all works as long as you choose not to install EAX Console and Speaker Calibrator. You should also not install MediaSource Player, choosing instead the PlayCenter 3.02.52 and , on XP, updating it to 3.02.70.
    You'll probably need to use the ctcomp.exe (search) on the Audio\language\Setup\Setup.exe file. So you'd need the cd copied to a folder on your harddri've so you can let ctcomp adjust the files.
    Then you run AudioHQ and choose to run on startup and load in systray in the options dropdown and use the EAX Control applet to control your effects. The AdvancedEQ effects work as long as you choose the effect, click the ParametricEQ in the center, then tick the volume slider tab with your mouse, exit and save. You need to do this everytime you apply an effect.
    Or, you can install the U-UPAX stuff which has been modded (driverheaven forum for links). I believe MediaSource works with their setup.
    I'm telling you though, your card will not give you any extra stuff it is not hardware designed to provide. So, you still only get EAX and 2, no Advanced HD EAX 3 or 4.
    And, the sound quality for music is superior with the official 252 Li've Uni-Pack setup. Unless you like overwhelming, booming bass and the midrange missing sounds. Those updated Audigy 2 and up drivers may have settings and files for the Li've, but they are tuned for the Audigy 2 and up.
    The 3 best optimizations made for the Li've were the old Li'veware 3.0 vxd drivers, the APS mod for the Li've (both for 9x), and the kXProject drivers (for XP). By far the most problem free software package was the Li've Uni-Pack. And it sounds okay.
    So there you go. Now, if after you uninstall whatever you've got, the setup file of the package you select doesn't say "No SoundBlaster hardware installed" you'll be lucky. Modern Creative drivers oftentimes remove something when uninstalled that messes up the hardware detection and if installing with CTZAPP doesn't magically let the software setup recognize the card again then only a format will fix it.

  • Media manager and Vista

    I can not get media manager to download on my Vista 32 bit computer. Any help?

    Media manager installed without problem for 2 of my pc's running Vista.  I had a problem similar to what your describing with another program I was trying to downlaod & install because of an incompatiability with a firewall program (Komodo) I wasa running.  Perhaps something on your PC is also causing the problem.

  • Audigy 2 ZS and Vista quest

    Has creative released drivers that support the audigy 2 zs for vista yet, ie working EAX in games without alchemy? The new way they set up their driver notes on the download page makes it difficult to decipher since they batch both vista and xp together now.
    And if they haven't, is there any soundblaster card that I could buy that is fully supported in Vista?
    This is the only reason I have not upgraded to Vista. Any response would be wonderful!

    It is no 7. support, only 5.
    You can try to install this:

    but before you do completely uninstall all Creative drivers and software from system. I recommend this method;

  • Creative Media Source Volume and System Vol

    Whenever I change the volume in my Creative Media Source volume my system volume also goes down. Is there any way that I can lower the volume of Creative Media source without lowering my system volume?

    Hi !
    I just tried the volume thing with Creative Media Source and In fact it does change the System Volume/ I looked in the options and there's no way to fix it. But on the advanced volume window, there's a category called "Wave Sound". You can adjust this one without interfering with Creative MediaSource volume.
    Hope it'll help...

  • Media source Volume Cont

    This is probably a really dumb question, but is there any way to stop the volume control in mediasource from changing the volume for everything? I have mediasource playing music and another piece of software such as a game making noise. I'd like to have the music reduce in volume, but for the life of me I cannot find an option to do so.
    Ta in advance.

  • Creative Media Source - PC Music Library Corrupt

    0Creative Media Source - PC Music Library Corrupt? After doing some backup utilities on my music archi've, and relocating them to a new larger dri've, I am now receiving messages that my PC Music Library is corrupt, and is unusable. All of my playlists are gone, and I can't make new ones. it attempts to access a backup copy of the PC Music Library, fails at that as well, then reports it will make a new one. This fails as well, and the message recommends to repair the Microsoft jet Databse Engine and the MDAC, etc.
    So naturally, I go to the Microsoft website, as instructed by Creative, and that's about as useful as you'd expect...none.
    I have attempted to delete what remains of the old one, both via Media Source and Windows (XP),? and have even reinstalled media source. The problem persists. I'm less concerned about recovery of the old playlists than I am simply starting over with new ones (it was time for a redo anyways).
    Media Source itself works fine in all other apsects. It can read files, play music, and interact with my Creative Zen Xtra device. But it's all useless if I can't make playlists for use on the PC and transfer to the Zen.
    Anyone have any ideas? I just want to be able to use my stuff again.

    Re: Creative Media Source - PC Music Library Corruptn Wasn't aware that it was possible, and haven't seen anything that tells how it could be done. Typically I make my playlists in Creative Media Center, in Organizer mode. As I'm pawing through the archi've and want to add a specific track to a playlist, I? right-click>add to playlist, select the playlist from the drop-down, and move on.
    After deleting the old corrupted playlist files, and starting over from scratch, here is what happens:? I attempt to add a track to a playlist...no playlists exist, so I create one on the spot. Upon submitting the info, CMS crashes. ? I reopen CMS, now the PC Music Library is corrupted again, the backup is corrupted, and no playlists exist, etc. At that point, I can delete the playlist files again, and start the process over again (resulting in the same: CMS crashes and I have corrupted playlists.)

  • Creative Media Source takeover attem

    I have a Zen V Plus, use Windows XP, and have Creative Media Source and Windows Media Player on my desktop. I use Winpatrol to monitor my startup activities, and lately it has been popping up a msg that says Creative is trying to become the default .MP3 file association. I use Media Player for managing my music and audiobooks. I keep telling Winpatrol to not allow the change, but I would like to know how to get the attempts to stop. The wonderful folks at Creative customer support? have told me that my free period has ended, but they would be happy to take my money and attempt to give me an answer. They are not going to get any.

    Yes I realize that--I'm thinking more specifically that CMS5 doesn't play well with SP3? The problem with your solution is that I don't like WMP. At least, I don't like the fact that you can't play your music straight from your device. You have to sync your device and copy all of your music onto your hard dri've to play from the device connected to the computer. That was mainly what I used CMS5 for--playing music directly from my device through the computer?without having to copy all of its contents onto my hard dri've. I keep my music stored on my Zen Microphoto so it doesn't take up space on my computer...
    I would Google the errors & see what comes up.. I'm fairly certain that Sp3 probably included WMP with it so that may be the source of the conflict if you installed it. Since it was a reinstall I don't know if you'll be able to install WMP0 instead.You could try that & see if that hel
    ps.
    If you don't have backup copies of your music(cd or external dri've)you should do so. If the player's hardri've ever fails for whatever reason at least you will have an archi've & not lose all your files.

  • Creative Media Source record volume level slider doesn't w

    I had an older version of Creative Media Source and a installed the latest version off the website to try to fix the problem, but the same thing occurs in the current version. I want to record, but the slider is grayed out and when I try to use it, the whole media source window moves, not the slider. It's stuck on zero. My sound card drivers are installed and working correctly. I can play music and adjust the playback volume. The record volume used to work. I don't know why it stopped.
    Any thoughts on how to fix this?
    Thanks,
    Russ

    Recording level is not used when ripping CDs.

  • Jet Engine 4 needed for Creative Media Source Corrupt Libr

    I have seen this asked before but not answered well.
    I just installed Creative Media source for Zen Touch. When I bring up Creative Media source it says that I have a corrupt media library and need to download current Jet Engine 4 from Microsoft. I do that but when I try to upgrade it get the message that I already have a newer version on my computer. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with same result.
    Is this bad software (Creative Media Source) or screwed registry or whatever on my computer.
    Better yet can I remove Creative Media Source and just use Microsoft Media 0, i.e. will the necessary drivers be available?
    Creative Nomad Explorer seems to be working ok?

    Dusty,
    Have you also installed the Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2.8 available from Microsoft?
    You can find the MDAC here - MDAC_TYP.EXE
    If the difficulty persists, you can uninstall MediaSource via Add/Remove Programs Wizard in Control Panel, delete the MediaSource folder in n C:\Program Files\Creative and reinstall it.

  • Creative Zen and Creative Media Sourc

    A couple of years back I bought a creative MP3 player and it came with Creative Zen Touch software. Just recently I purchaed a new laptop that came with Creative Media Source 5. I used to use the Creative Zen Touch to load my music cds and transfer files from my computer and my MP3 player. My question is since now I have Creative Media Source 5 (along with Creative Li've! Cam and Sound Blaster Audigy) do I even need to load the Creative Zen Touch software on my new laptop inorder to transfer music files from my MP3 player and my laptop. Thank you in advance.

    Ok.... I tried many times to put the PlaysForSure "firmware" on my actual player (I have version .0.03). The problem is I can not figure out how to actually put the firmware onto my MP3 player. Can someone please help me with this as I am leaving for Iraq VERY soon and I need to get the MP3 player to be recognized by Creative 5 and Windows Vista (32-bit). Thanks in advance.

    If you're new laptop is a Vista system, you won't have to load any software drivers for the Touch, but you'll have to update your Touch to PlaysForSure firmware since Creative doesn't do Vista drivers for the MP3 players. If your laptop is an XP system, and you're on V.x firmware, you'll need to load the drivers so that MediaSource can recognize the Touch.

  • Can not activate EAX and SVM Support in Media Source Organizer with Audigy2 !!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Please there must be somebody out there able to me!Ive got an Audigy2 SB0240 (driver: SBAX_WBUP2_LB_2_09_006.exe)? and Media Source (CMS_PCAPP_LB_3_30_2.exe) Windows XP Pro SP2So after the CORRECT Installation and?Updates to the actuall securely workable Versions by Creative Auto Update the Media Source Player/Organizerit is not able to let me use EAX or SVM. The well known error message: "there is no audio device detected" appears after pressing Ctrl E.Each process of is own (Soundcard and all the Creative Softwarestuff) is working absolutely correct so far. Ive tryed driver cleansweeping, deinstalltion of all Creative stuff, even by Driver Cleaner Pro, Ived pulled the Soundcard out of the system during?deinstalltion and tryed any driver version (from CD and Internet)and Installation description procedures which I could find here at the forum, during the whole last days!?But there is no way. Is there someone, who knows what to do? I would be very happy if?it works. Thanks for your attention and help.

    TheDarkSide,
    Actually what is happening is that MediaSource does not support the Audigy card. The EAX and SVM buttons require the EAX console and capabilities of the Audigy 2 or cards that were designed for MediaSource. The way that EAX was handled and implemented was changed between the Audigy and Audigy 2 and this is why MediaSource doesn't support the EAX capabilities of the Audigy directly. You can still modify the EAX settings from within EAX console for the Audigy but it isn't integrated into MediaSource like it is with Playcenter.

  • Creative Media Source 5 and Zen

    I own the Zen VW and use the Creative Media Source 5. The problem I find is when I try to transfer songs to the Zen. I am trying to copy my smart playlist of fi've star tracks over. On the pc it has over 000 tracks, but only 550 or so end up on my Zen, what can I do to make sure all the tracks transfer over?

    What I have to do to make sure that every song gets transfered over, is to copy them in sets of 50 at a time. But with each set of 50, I dont get every song on the Zen, I have to delete how ever man of the 50 came over, and transfer the set of 50 again, the second time, every of the 50 songs transfers over. This is a pain when I have a play list of 000 songs. I have tried the whole list of 000 songs in one transfer, and I only get about half, and with a second transfer, I dont get much more.
    What can fix this problem?

  • Media Source Player 5 failing on Vista

    Until recently, my Media Source Player 5 has been working normally, with no problems. But starting about a week ago, each time I try to start the player, I get the following error message:
    Creative Media Source Player 5 has stopped working
    I provides two options,
    Check online for a solution and close the program, or
    Close the program
    I have downloaded and reinstalled the latest Media Source 5 components, but, I still see the failure. I then uninstalled everything from Creative, and then rebooted and re-installed everthing. The player still fails.
    Would anyone have any suggestions??
    Thanks,
