Microphone on Sound Blaster Audigy Advanced

I have a sound blaster audigy advanced mb integrated junk () and a cheap labtec microphone. Why doesn't my microphone work in CS:S unless while ingame I unplug it then put it back in?

I think it's a software. I just ordered Dell E405 and upgraded to this option. However, the sound card in my laptop is a SigmaTel HD audio. There's no sign of any Creative Soundblaster in my laptop. If you're planning to order a Dell, don't upgrade to this option. Or if you really want to upgrade, make sure you talk to Dell IN DETAIL before you place your order.
GOOD LUCK

Sound Blaster Audigy Advanced

I purchased a Dell 705 with Vista and had the software installed and it worked nicely. I sent that laptop back because I did not like Vista and wanted XP Pro SP2 but now Dell is telling me they can not sell anymore because it is not supported. Is that true? How can I go about getting for my Dell 705?running XP Pro SP2?Thank you,

What they are telling is total BS. What that is that you got is a software upgrade, not a hardware. Sound Blaster Audigy Advanced MB is a software that emulates your current Audio hardware only. So when you sent back your laptop, you should of kept the CD. THey are not sending you the CD anymore and you need the Key on the CD to activate the software. There is another post of someone who emailed creative and got a new key from them and they told him that the activaction was only good for 3 installs. The reason for this is because it is a software thats why you only get 3 installs. If it was a hardware, creative would have a bunch of angry people cause you?can only install the drivers for a hardware 3 times?...doesn't make any sense you know. I would never buy creative if that was true. So remember this is a software and not a hardware. So when you though you paid for?what you though was an?hardware upgrade, it was in fact only a software you were buying extra. CHEEZY!

Integrated Sound Blaster Audigy ADVANCED HD Help

Hey guys, I was hoping maybe someone could help me... I have the Integrated Sound Blaster Audigy ADVANCED HD driver but its only for 32-bit operating systems. I am running windows 7 64 bit and I was wondering if there are any 64 bit drivers around since I couldn't find any on google. If not, are they planning to release one anytime soon? Thanks for the help.

You know I did that and it worked. Thanks you.
I should mention that when I contiued the activation it failed to load giving an error saying no audio driver. So, I went to the Dell website and downloaded the sigmatel audio file, re-installed and it worked. However the saga continues as it only sees 2. speakers when I have a 5 speaker system and i can't figure out how to change that settings. I followed the help instruction but under the confiuration I am not given any option. so still some work to be done. I would have expected the process to be simpler, you really would need to be quite skilled to be doing all this tweaking, if you were a novice you'd be lost!

Sound Blaster Audigy ADVANCED HD Audio??

I had this for my Dell XPS M70 on Vista but now that i've upgraded to windows 7 i can't find anything on this.
I tried to download the windows 7 driver("SB24_PCDRV_LB__04_0090") from creative's website but it says it does not detect any supported device on my computer.
Am I missing something else here?

I am unsure which driver to download for this sound card. Would it be simply the "Audigy Series" driver? This particular name is not mentioned in the supported cards.
The Audigy Advanced MB isn't a device, it is an application that makes your onboard sound sound better. Therefore, it doesn't have a "driver", the only drivers involved would be the driver for your onboard sound, which you need to get from Dell.
As for the application itself, it is my understanding that it's not ready for Vista yet, and I am currently trying to get an update on that situation.

Microphone Issue - Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro Audio C

Hey there, sorry to post but I've got a little issue which I'm sure is me being stupid but its racking my head so here it comes. I have recently started using talk programs such as vent, skype blah blah to speak to people back home and since moving abroad I have found that now I need the mic to contact these people (which it used to fine before I arri'ved on foreign soil). On clicking on volume control and advance or properties I have nothing in recording for mic and this is where im lost. If I enable the mic on any of the programs people are hearing whatever happens to be coming out of the computer speaks such as games or a movie etc. i've just tried a full removal and reinstallation of the sound drivers for the model in my comp (Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro Audio Card).
All my mates are saying surely you cant lose mic from the volume control but yet its gone and I have no idea how to reactivate it. People seemt o think the card is buggered but it seems fine with everything else I fire out.
Any help on how stupid I'm being would be great.
Thanks in advance.

Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Microphone H

Ok, I just bought a brand new Microphone, a Sennhesier pc-50 and a brand new sound blaster audigy 2 ZS. When i go to test my mic in a team-speak server of mine, the green button wont light up at all (meaning it wont work). The odd thing is, people in team-speak hear key clicks, my msn beeps, and music that i play, but not my voice. I've tried to switch the wires around while recording myself but it still wont work. I also looked to see if i placed my head phones in the right slot, and the mic in the right slot and it still wont work. The headphones are brand new, and work on another computer. Its just not working on this one. Please help

Hello and welcome to the club. There are tons of use out here.. with the same problem.. Seems we have to sit tight.. they have not let us know a THING about our problem.. Whether or not they are looking into this or otherwise. No one has had the problem solved.. and if someone has and reads this .. LET US KNOW. At the moment, however, I have learned one thing based on this problem: Don't buy any more SB / CL Products!!!

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.

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
Instruments PCI74 Integrated FlashMedia Controller Driver".
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. Please, Does somebody know what could be this problem root causeIt is very weird, even if i try to install this sound card on clean windows vista install, then it leads me to blue screen. Besides, I have another PCMCIA card from another manufacturer, and I was able to install its windows vista drivers with no problem.(It sounds that Creative labs' vista drivers is the problem root cause as I've tested this sound card on a different notebook with windows xp and It worked fine).
3)Does anyone know if creative is planning to release a windows vista driver that allows the users to use all of this sound card featuresSo far the latest driver available doesn't support even DVD-Audio. Have creative labs discontinued this product
I appreciate any help you can give me,
thanks in advance,
Rogerr ZS.

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.

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...

Pin Specifications for Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SB1394

;Pin Specifications for Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SB394 I have a Sound Blaster Audigy SB934 CA000-IAF Creative Tech '0 AA299J basically a Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum (wiouth the front bay for conectivity.)? And since I dont' have the front bay for heaphone and mic conectivity I was wondering if there is a spec sheet for the 40-Pin conectivity that is used for the front bay. I was wondering if anyone could provide me with such spec sheet so that I can try to conect my frontal Intel board plugs for headphone and microphone (would like to use my headset.)
There are a lot of pins on the card and well only about 8 in the conector for the front plugs. So if any dev from the forum is reading this I would greatly apreciate it if I could use my front Intel sound plugs on this old model card.
Thank you for all your help.

Sound Blaster Audigy & Vi

I'm new to these boards, not posted much at all. I have been confused about something. I currently use the Sound Blaster Audigy card. I have a 4. speaker setup. I utilize the "heavy metal" option under the EAX->Advanced EQ section of the Audio Console. My question is will I be able to use the same exact settings in Vista or will I have to upgrade my card? I tried going through the forums for the answer and I just got confused with all the different posts/information. I tried PMing the mods and Cat about getting some info but, it seems they want to ignore my messages even though I was polite.

Well, first, the PM links in the profiles were acti've which means to me that the PM function was turned on. If the Mods have it turned off and it doesn't show to the regular forum goers then, the fault would lay with Creative or more specifically, the mods for misleading people into thinking that the message was actually received/read. If the message was read it is only courteous to at least quick reply and say, sorry, we don't know anything yet, etc or actually answer the question. Not answering only leads people to believe they are being ignored and again, the fault is with Creative and/or the mods. I wasn't trying to get technical support as nothing is wrong with my Audigy card. So I don't see the need to contact Tech Support. The mods have posted details about the cards and Vista which tells me they could answer simple questions.

"Sound Blaster Audigy Fx" and stereo mix availability

If I buy/install the "Sound Blaster Audigy Fx" will it add the stereo mix option to my sound properties, also
does this card work on windows 8?
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/creative...&skuId=3287009

Re: Sound Blaster Xtreme Audio missing Stereo MixK I think I'm having a similar problem with my Windows 7 Professional system.
I'm am getting sound out of my card.
When I right click on the "speaker" icon in the task bar I see the following list of 5 options
Volume Mixer
Playback Devices
Recording Devices
Sounds
Volume Control Options
However when I click on "playback devices", "Recording Devices" and "sounds" nothing comes up.
What I did do is completely uninstall all traces of any installed Creative software and in the device manager did an uninstall for the SB Xtreme Audio Card.
My recording device is the integrated microphone in the Logitech Quickcam/IM that I have installed. If I go to accessories and click on "sound recorder" it doesn't start up either.
The other issue that I see is that when I go into Control Panel and click on Sounds, nothing happens.
Something is definitely going on but I can't seem to track down the cause.
