  • Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum EX

    Hello, I have a Sound Blaster audigy platinum EX-, me and bought a new PC and have put my targeta SB, but in the installation as soon as this one quite made, when I want to calibrate my 5. puncturing in Mediasource's icon there goes out a mistake that he says: his targeta is not compatible with this controller. I have put him Win XP with SPack 3, as I have seen it is not drivers for this targeta with SPack 3, only it is with SPack 2, which I must do , do I put a SPack 2 Or is it drivers for SPack 3

    Hi Specter,
    Don't worry, it's better to ask questions and get the answers you need, than to be confused or unsure
    The first question is a bit subjecti've, some people may notice the difference, but the quality/SNR on those cards is very high so it shouldn't make much of a difference really. It will sound better aswell as you'll be hearing the full effects, in the proper speakers, instead of just stereo.
    As far as the second query goes, I can't really recommend any particular application to you personally, but others can add their input there. The full versions of the various applications should all pretty much have the same options, at least the ones I've tested generally allow you to change the audio option which is what you'll need if you want to connect digitally (most DVD applications now have a built-in decoder, but if you want the audio to be sent over the digital connection you need to turn off the decoding option, so it outputs the signal untouched, to your receiver). Trial versions don't have as many options though, so on some you might not be able to adjust the option you need, but that shouldn't be a problem on full versions.
    Hope that helps,

  • Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum BIG Proble

    I have sound blaster audigy platinum and in few weeks I have got this strange problem that I?ve hadn't before. If I use old drivers for it, windows gives me blue screen with "bad pool caller" very often when I play or just listen music. With new drivers it gives me "driver irql not less or equal". At the same time in linux it works fine. In windows I've checked viruses etc. reinstalled windows many times, used memtest and so on. Finally 2 days ago I took my Sound blaster off my computer and ever since I haven't got any problems. So it obviously is the problem. But I just don't know what to do anymore to get it work? Now I use the sound card that comes integrated with my motherboard but it's not as good. Btw I don't use integrated sound card same time with sound blaster. Please Help!

  • Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum creating hard re

    Greetings. Looking for insight on what I might do to alleviate a problem I am having with a Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum sound card and dri've.
    This is the original Audigy Platinum. I am running windows XP pro with all sevice packs installed.
    Installation of this new unit went well. No hardware or software conflicts and the card and audio "dri've" worked on the first attempt. All software also installed properly.
    Unfortunately, when playing any audio through the system continuously for over a minute or so, the system begins to have trouble. This trouble is exerienced independent of what software or media type is playing the audio.
    First, the sytem will have momentary "hangs" where the audio will be interrupted by a monotone electronic beep lasting from a fraction of a second to a couple of seconds long. The audio will then resume from the point it had left off when the tone began. If I continue to play audio after these tones begin, the system will shortly thereafter go through a hard reset. (By hard reset I mean an immediate return to memory count, bios screen and then startup as if I had pressed the reset button or the power had been interrupted)
    The ONLY time this takes place is when I have been playing some sort of continuous audio.
    As I said, if anyone has experienced this and has any insight as to the cause or more importantly the remedy to to the problem, I would appreciate the input.
    Thanks.
    JP

    No comments on this?
    Just hoping someone will be able to help me so I can use my audio files once again.

  • Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum

    Hi there I just had a quick simple question. I am interested in buy one of the Sound Blast Audigy Platinum eX sound cards with the external portion as well. I am wondering if the external can double as a receiver so I can just hook up a set of speakers to the PCI card for my TV and my Personal Computer. Is this possible, even if I do need to purchase extra adapters? I have an RCA cable I can run from the L/R of my TV to the External Card, but can the External card provide an output to the speakers? Basically all I am asking is if the TV sound can go out of the PC speakers...lol Sorry if I made it sound more complicated than it really is.
    Sincerely,
    Matt

  • Creative Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum

    Im having issues with this card when I bought it it was great but now after reformats and installing from the software disc I frist recieve an error saying it cant find the remote reciever then I recieve an exclamation mark next to the audio media controller in system device manager although my sound still works on desktop (but not using computer based programs like cubase sx 3)....thinking it was may be needing an update I came to the website and it told me to update to all latest driver and patches to which I did..rebooted and still same problem this time added problem being I have no sound at all. So why? has this all of a sudden happend... I am coumputer literate enought to uninstall all older software before installing new software from this website but all to no avail...why is there no audio media controller in all the software thats available to download from here... Ive also tried having the realtek audio 97AC driver installed before installing all creative software and also installing it after installing all media from creative but either way it tells you to?uninstall this driver as it can cause conflicts to which I do and its still no sound ?..it resolves the issue of the exclamation mark next to audio media controller in device manager but theres still no sound...So why dont I get any errors when installing the software from the disc it all goes smooth then gives me the no remote reciever detected (tried new batteries in it)....then again same problem with audio media controller...please help me as this card at the time of buying cost me nearly ?200....

    It sounds like the card isn't installing correctly, when it is installed it should be listed in the Device Manager with the correct name (so not a generic audio device or unknown device). It would be best to disable your onboard audio to make sure that won't conflict.
    What happens when you run the installation CD? Does it seem to install the driver? It may help to uninstall the card, and move it to another slot if it isn't getting picked up correctly. It'll force it onto other resources, reinstall the CD then.
    When the card is installed, check in Control Panel -> Sounds and Audio Devices. The card should be listed there so you can select it as the preferred device (for playback and recording).

  • Sound Blaster Audigy Problem

    Ok I am finally stumped.
    Specs
    KT800Neo
    Athlon 64 3200+
    512MB 400Mhz DDR
    2 x 120GB Segate HD

    Win XP Pro Sp 1
    Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum
    MSI 52x32x52 CD-RW
    TDK DVD Recorder
    I have tried a million ways to get this stupid soundcard to work, and to no avail.
    I downloaded the newest drivers from soundblaster.com and it says it can't even detect the audigy however it shows up in my unknown device detecter.  I tried other Audigy drivers that have been unified for 5.1 plat & audigy plat.  Same results.  I then went to my old install CD that came with the sound card and it works.  However my live drive is not being enabled for some reason.  I have tried hooking up a 5.1 Live Drive and nothing as well.
    I don't have any sound drivers for anything onboard releated installed.
    I tried the Kx Drivers for giggles and they installed and even got closer with my Inspire 6.1's working a bit better, however live drive still not working correctly.
    My 1394 Net Adapter 1 & 2 are not loaded (drivers) ! mark by the both of them, they tell me to run the trouble shooter 2 says the device drive couldn't load due to old install being in the system, however I have removed these devices before and tried to do something.
    ATM I really need to get this sound card functional so any suggestions are appreciated.
    Thanks

    First time in my life a motherboard worries me before I start playing with it.  I have been waiting for my K8T Neo to arrive for two weeks and had time to read numerous reviews and forum.
    I validated almost every piece of hardware I’m using, including the sound card (Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum) against the list of hardware tested in MSI’s test report.  My sound card was supposed to be supported but we all know the story…
    Anyway, I was pleased when I booted for the first time my PC (after disabling the onboard sound) to succeed where many of us failed.  I even managed to install Windows XP SP1 without any trouble.  I also installed all the latest versions of the drivers, except for my Audigy, for which I installed the driver that came on the accompanying CD.  I had no trouble with the stereo sound.
    Trouble came when I tested the surround sound.  I experienced the same thing as goretexpretzels: no sound from the rear channels…  I then updated with the latest version of the drivers/mixer but same crap.  
    I will perform some tests and try with a non-SP1 version of XP to see if it resolves the problem, but I sincerely hope that MSI will come out with a BIOS patch or a workaround before long.
    I’m already starting to regret for not having stayed with Abit after all those years of reliable computing…

  • 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.

    And you can also try one of these to connect a lot more easily to your front panel audio jacks.......

  • Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro Ad_link Cable

    Hi,? I have the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro and my Ad_Link cable has been damaged. I have contacted every on line auction house and everyone in and out of the United States and no one has this cable available. What I am looking for now is one of 2 things;? the specs of this cable (which is not listed in any of the documentation that came with the product, nor is it on the web-site, nor does Customer Support seem to have this information), or a comparable cable that will work in it's place.

  • Capturing laserdisc AC3 signal with Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum

    I'm considering converting my laserdisc collection over to DVD.
    As far as PC hadware is concerned, I have the ATI All-In-Wonder 9800 Pro and the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro.
    My system in a 3.2G P4 on a Intel D875PBZ board w/ 2Gig of memory. Connected are 3 dri'ves, (2) 250G SATA dri'ves and () old 250G IDE dri've that I keep archi'ves on.
    The laserdisc player has the following:
    AC-3 Bit Stream / PCM Optical Output AC-3 Bit Stream / PCM Coaxial Output PCM Coaxial Output
    I was planning to use the optical input of the soundcard but was unsure what to use to capture the digital stream to capture the entire surround channel info. Normally audio is captured as an uncompressed WAV and then converted to AC3 which to me is a wasted step since it's only going to wind up as AC3 again
    I've used Virtual dub in the past to capture TV broadcasts, but I seem to be at a loss on this current venture. Any assistance will be great

    Alright, let me just double check...
    As long as the output from my laserdisc is 48K then things should work fine and I should receive the entire unadulterated stream, no data padding or modification. If it's not 48k then it won't. This is as long as I save it as 2. PCM audio stream
    The audiobitrate for AC3 should be at 384k, and this will be preserved using the above method?
    From what I'm reading, this unprocessed stream should sound like white noise. Once processed by cooledit , Soundforge or besweet I should have the DD 5. soundtrack intact and not a 2 channel AC stream?
    Sorry if I am rephrasing things but I just want to be absolutly certain when I start this project .
