New Audigy Beta Drivers did they add EAX 4.0 to an Audigy 1 Platinum

Hello,
does the new Audigy Beta Drivers add EAX 4.0 Support to an Audigy Platinum ?
Greetings Picard007

Audigy (hardware base one) supports EAX3 (EAX Advanced HD) hardware. Audigy2 suports EAX4 hardware. EAX4 is supported with latest OpenAL drivers on compatible hardware.
More: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environ...dio_extensions
Quote:
EAX has nothing to do with actual 3D audio positioning. Positioning is done by Microsoft's DirectSound3D API. An alternati've to DirectSound3D, called Open Audio Library (OpenAL), surfaced in 2003 in several titles. OpenAL allows direct hardware acceleration of audio, like DirectSound, including EAX. As of 2006, the API has been used in many popular titles including Doom 3 and Prey. These games support EAX 4.0 if audio hardware with an OpenAL-supporting driver is present.
Most releases of EAX versions coincide with increases in the number of simultaneous voices processible in hardware by the audio processor: the original EAX .0 supports 8 voices, EAX 2.0 allows 32 (Li've!), EAX Advanced HD (EAX 3.0) supports 64 (Audigy), EAX 4.0 again supports 64 (Audigy 2), and EAX 5.0 allows 28 voices (and up to 4 effects applied to each) (X-Fi).

I am not getting any sound input on my microphone. There is no microphone input on my new macbook pro, so I am using my old one. Is this a problem with the new operating system? Did they simply remove any microphone software?

New York Jets - How Did They Get That Name?

I remember the old New York Titans of the AFL, but then one day, they were called the Jets. How did they get that name (West Side Story?), and where did it come from?
Rod, are you home?
Hunt

hiya...hehe... was crying ...jets lost...boo hoo....
gotta admit ne pats defense and offense were just too good...couple turnovers and jets = dead ducks ( making that gargling sound in throat as they bit the dust ).
why jets name ??? dont know really...not definitetively...
My dad was into gymnastics pretty much entirely ( a little into figure skating ). not baseball or football. bowling a little as a " do it " sport, not a "watch it " sport. The only "watch it " sports us kids did ( only had 1 tv ) was gymnastics and skating olympic stuff mostly but some other competitions too.
Gymnastics is weird in a way...( as was my father ). It is extremely personal ( about beating your "self" ..doing better than you did " before" ).. very individualistic ...even though you are on a " team "... it's just points mostly for the team to win , accumulation of individual scores... father was very anti weight lifting, very opinionated about these things to his kids... so even when I got into wrestling, for example, or football ..in high school, he was very critical of any weight lifting that was part of the practice and training. He " coached " or " taught " gymnastics on Saturdays at my high school in a sorta unofficial (unpaid ) position...so me and my brother got sorta hooked into that more than doing football, wrestling etc. In fact, we started doing gymnastics when we were like 1 year old.. and it is so stated in some newspaper clipping by howard cosell (when he was a newspaper columnist before radio ) interviewing my father after a ny athletic club gymnastic competition ( trials for olympics sorta thing )... " Yes, Howard, I have 3 children, and they are already doing floor excercises and some tumbling... kirk, age 3, rodney age 2, and susan age 1 .... " that sorta thing. We were famous !
We could roll on the floor with pet dog real good !
This gives you general idea how I never got into "watching" football seriously, or baseball...I am basically ( like my brother ) a sport idiot re: following football and baseball like normal american kids. Of course I did follow favorite teams for a while in high school... ( oakland raiders were my favorite with a couple other teams kinda floating in and out of my interest ) but I have only been to 2 pro baseball game, never to any pro football game, and only 1 college football game ( army navy as guest of family who's son went to west point .. they got season tickets and tailgate spot etc ).
Baseball games were 1 polo grounds where the only thing I remember is having a hot dog and I dropped my plastic thing of mustard and for some stupid reason stomped on it... and it squirted mustard like it was shot from a canon onto this lady's leg ( stocking ).. and she yelled at me and I felt bad and said I was sorry and she tried to get it off but I think her leg was stained with mustard forever.
Other baseball game was yankee stadium box seat next to yankee dugout roof as guest of guy who's brother in law owns the boxes complete with free parking nearby and tickets to some yankee club after games. fancy seats ( 4 of them ). I put my beer on the roof of the yankee dugout, it was like right in front of me. I got a ball thrown to me by a yankee after pre-game practice ( as they came to dugout to start game ). Actually he faked me out at first...went to throw, I ( startled by his hand action ) put my hands up fast to catch.. but he didnt throw ( like faked me out )... but then as he disappeared under dugout roof his hand came up and flipped the ball right to me ( which of course I caught since I am so quick with my reactions due to rolling with dog when 2 years old ).
So thats my only baseball story of any interest. It was the game " after" the boston yankee game with the pine tar incident in boston with billy martin.. so this was the next day IIRC in ny with boston again... yankees won. and didnt have to do tricky stuff to win ( like complain about pine tar ). The mustard story doesn't get told often.
So now you know that I am a total idiot re: sports in general due to total immersion in gymnastics, and most of THAT was just doing it, not following particular athletes ( though of course some became sorta famous at the olympics etc ) We had high bar and parallel bars IN THE BACK YARD ! LOL... I once saw a friend try a giant swing ( we had no mat.. just grass ) and fly off and landed about 20 feet away ... he let go cause all the skin on his girly hands got ripped off as he was twirling around... goes to show you... be careful when trying new things.
His eyes had rolled up into his head so you could only see " white" for a little while... but then he came back to life ( whew ! ) . We quit for the day doing gymnastics.
Sooo, in answer to your question.. given my idiocy about these matters.. the Jets ( from Titans at polo grounds and 1 season I think at the new Shea Stadium --where the METS were ) with change in ownership and all that going on... could have been from west side story ( cause I think there's a long history of some stadium dreams over on the west side of manhattan ( which would be a total nightmare for traffic by the way ) ).. and since it rhymes with METS maybe.. and also maybe because when you go to shea stadium all you can hear most of the time are GIANT JETS FLYING LOW OVERHEAD on way to and from LaGuardia Airport which is like 100 feet away from home base.
A lot of New Yorkers liked the Jets at first because Joe Namath go them to the superbowl and won, much to the surprise of everyone on earth and mars too.. but really because it was a ny stadium instead of NJ ( everyone in NY makes fun of people in NJ ). The giants suffer for this cause a lot of people call them the NJ Giants. And now ( of course ) a lot of people call the Jets the NJ Jets too... since they left shea stadium ( which was a mess because they had to go on road games till the METS were done playing baseball...and then that stadium on the west side got blackballed again by a couple lawmakers in Albany ( they actually OWN the city and state, Sheldon Silver and some other guy ). Im not really up on that whole history of west side stadium but in part the cablevision guys who own madison sq garden dont want competition. They got it with the javits center for conventions but not for sports teams.. so I guess they're happy for now.
Now we got citi field and met life field and will probably rename the midtown tunnel " JP Morgan Tunnel " soon... but as I say, .... I don't go to any of these games and travel as little as possible so who cares.

Apps disappeared with new upgrade to the new os. Where did they go

It appears many of my apps disappeared with the new OS download both free and purchased. Where did they go and can I retrieve them

Did you check to see if you have another page of apps. There is a new Facetime app that can cause it to bump the pages.

New Mic + New Audigy 2 Platinum = Lots of Background No

I just purchased a new microphone and the Creative SoundBlaster Audigy 2 Platinum. I linked the microphone I'm using below. I have installed all of the drivers for the Audigy card and noticed when I am trying to record voice, I hear a substantial amount of background noise even in a completely silent room. I have included a link to a test mp3 and wav below where you can hear what the mic sounds like. I have the mic plugged into the back of the soundcard.
I have also attempted to move the microphone closer to my mouth, farther away, facing different positions, etc... Nothing really seems to work. It also sounds a bit quiet even with the volume turned all the way up.

New Operating System Drivers Did Not Transfer

I recently bought a HP Pavilion DV7, Product Number : LW174UA#ABA, from my friend and decided to install a new operating system onto it. My buddy didn't tell me much about what was wrong with it, other than it ran a little slow. I figured that it was cheap enough and I could easily throw Windows 7 x64 on it, instead of using Windows 8.1 x64 which he had installed on it a while ago, and use it as sort of a backup to my desktop.
I installed a new copy of Windows 7 Professional x64 on it and when the installation was complete I noticed I could not access the internet nor use the usb drives. I went into device manager and discovered that a handful of decives had the warning yellow triangle explanation symbol next to them. I quickly looked at the problem and noticed most of them had Error Code 28. This told me that I will need to install the drivers for the parts.
Okay, that shouldn't be too difficult. I found the WiFi driver and installed it. The issue was solved (temporarily) and I could access the internet.
After searching through forums I found out that my usb problem can be many different issues. I then came to the conclusion that a service pack update (since I could not find any usb drivers) should fix the issue. Nope, the usb drivers still have not been properly installed. On top of that, the internet now truns on and off. I will have access for a few seconds and then my computer tells me that I do not have any conntections.
Does anyone know what I did wrong or where I can find the drivers that may fix this issue?
I already went to the HP drivers site and installed most of the drivers. Things like the finger print scanner I am not too concerned with at this time so I skipped over those.
This question was solved.

When are Creative going to release NEW Audigy 2 ZS drivers? (CAT/ADMINS plz read last pos

Hi
First and foremost I would like to emphasise this post is by no means a flame against the hardworking staff at Creative Labs, but more of a curious question.
I am a relati'vely happy owner of an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum PRO. Apart from a few niggling teething problems which were sorted out extremely well by Technical Support (they even shipped me a newer revision of the driver installation CD free of charge) I have had no problems!!!
HOWEVER, Doom3 version .3 added OpenAL and EAX 4 support, which as you might have guessed is good news for us Audigy2/ZS/4 owners.
Unfortunately to get the best out of Doom3 I had to download BETA drivers, this was not really a problem since they are relati'vely stable, but these drivers do have a few niggling problems.
For Example, the THX Setup console does not remember the speaker position settings. AND Half-Life 2 requires the speakers to be set each time I enter the game.
E.g each time I load Half-Life 2 I have to set the speakers to 7. surround (pre BETA drivers did not have this problem)
It would be nice if somebody from Creative was to either release an updated version of the BETA driver (preferably non-BETA), an updated THX setup console, OR to inform us when a new Driver and applications will arri've.
Not meaning to sound rude, but FOUR MONTHS is rather a long time for a Driver to stay in Beta status.
Thanks for your time

Cat top day to you!
I have a suggestion, or rather proposition that Im sure allot of folks here will agree with. <IMG height=6 src="http://forums.creative.com/i/smilies/6x6_smiley-happy.gif" width=6 border=0>
How about instead of the preview site http://preview.creativelabs.com being used exclusi'vely for releasing beta 64Bit drivers for public testing (which next to nobody uses). How about you (Creative) extend public beta testing to 32Bit drivers and applications for release on the http://preview.creativelabs.com website ?.
Imho it will make the official drivers much more stable and worthwhile for the average user. It is just a thought and suggestion .<IMG height=6 src="http://forums.creative.com/i/smilies/6x6_smiley-happy.gif" width=6 border=0>

That would be fantastic CAT if you could fill us in on driver update. 4mths is a bit much.
I use the beta's ATM jut to test em out and give feed back on how they work.
Still no EAX in BF2, However I get better performance and no more sound drop out, YAH. TOP JOB TEAM !!!!
Seem stable and all console apps work fine.
Though I still get NO eax ( reverb, occlusion ) in the following games.
Soldier of fortune 2
Starwars BattleFront
Call of duty and Call of Duty UO
Painkiller
BattleField Vietnam
GTA SA
UT 2004.
Hmm, thats alot of games that STATE EAX that I dont get it with. Even with other drivers I still get no EAX.
I do get AWESOME EAX in these games though.
Rainbow SIX raven sheild
Theif 2 DS
V8 supercars 2
Colin MCrea rally 4
So my card is fine and working perfectly.
Hope the next set fixes everything up EAX wise.

Are new beta drivers for XP and Xfi fatal1ty any go

Can you share your feelings about the new xfi beta drivers with a fatalty card? I've experienced they are better in terms of stability, but find that games are almost now missing sounds. Weird I know, but it's almost like I am not getting full 32 voice capability. The current drivers Creative offers are ok, but I find that any problems I have had with my system lately always come down to a Xfi driver component.
Anyhow, appreciate your experiences with them...

Well for me I managed to stop it from reverting back to 2. in the Creative Volume Panel by unchecking Syncronize with Control Panel option.
Seems that the problem with what you were mentioning is related to Sounds and Audio Devices, when I did have Creatives Volume Panel Syncronised with Control Panel, when I was playing certian games, it would end up reverting to 2. (which I found annoying) but since I did the above I have had no more issues since

WTF Creative fix winXP x64 driver new beta drivers still have the 4GB memory limit is

SBAX_PCDRVBETA_US_2_8_000.exe
I just pop in my audigy 2 ZS to see if beta drivers released June 8 fixed the no 5. issue with pass drivers unless u had no more then 4GB or limited the OS to 4GB using boot.ini
*no sound from my center and rear speakers
"the Known Issues:
* When using 5. Speaker configuration, no audio output from the Center/Rear channels.
?? To restore audio output in Windows XP: Launch Play Control Panel, click the Speaker Volume button, then click the Restore Defaults button."? (did not work no matter how many times i tried it's + also did numeros reboots)
doesn't work ? only after adding /MAXMEM=4096 did everything start working like it should.
my computer has 8GB of ram and by using this fix the other 4GB go to waste why is this issue fixed on Vista x64 drivers but NOT on XP x64
come on Creative WTF?:angry:
so creative nothing was fixed for WinXP x64 with this beta driver !!!!!!!!!!!

Re the F8 trick: Thanks. Still very annoying, as it needs to be pressed and selected on every boot. Still, it's a workaround. Re "hey it's only beta" and "not signed on purpose", I will argue that not signing drivers puts an unneccessary installation hurdle before the user. Worse, it is not readily apparent how to circumvent that hurdle. That drastically reduces the number of users that will install and use the driver, and could thus give feedback on it. My assumption is that Creative have released the beta drivers publically to get a wide range of good feedback on their performance. Also, to give the most impacted users an alternative to just removing their Creative card and falling back to onboard sound. Both objectives are more easily achieved if the driver can be installed - and used - without needing to go through an F8 boot menu on every startup. The driver is already designated as beta and carries a prominent expiration date. Not signing the driver does not do anything to alert the user of the fact that this is a beta that the expiration date popup did not already do. Look to graphics cards. You will find beta drivers there, released mainly to relieve pressing issues in-between driver releases. Those drivers are signed, yet no one doubts that they are beta drivers, not least because they are released on a page that displays a very prominent BETA logo. Creative has goals in publically releasing beta drivers, which won't be met if users can't install the drivers.

New BETA drivers for TV@nywhere Master

there was a thread somewhere before where someone had found some updated BETA drivers for the MSI TV@nywhere Master card but it seems to have gone now
i've been using them for a while now, and they're very stable, and the picture quality has improved somewhat
they say they are for the Master version of the card, but i think they may work on the Mega PC version, the only difference is the Master has a AM/FM tuner as well
anyone having stability probs in media center III or MSIPVS might want to try them out and see what happens...
i've uploaded them to my webspace, and you can find them here in ZIP format: http://www.ukshazam.com/downloads/8606Master_drv.zip
please note these are BETA drivers and as such MSI won't support them (as if they do anyway
i'll also post this in the Mega PC forum

As I recall when this BETA driver started flying around the forum, they WERE NOT official or unofficial MSI drivers. They were modified by a user from another forum and someone from this forum posted a link to them. THESE ARE IN NO WAY RELATED TO MSI DIRECTLY!! Someone reversed engineered the driver and probly thru extensive testing, via trial and error, was able to clean up the driver to give the result that most have had with them. This doesn't mean that everyone is going to have the same result, which is and has been the reality with any add-on card produced since PC's came out...compatibility issues DO still exist out there and not all systems are going to play in the sandbox well with all add-on cards that are manufactured...something to keep in mind when purchasing new systems...
Furthermore, it's been my experience that proprietary systems (The Pac-10 as I call them...IBM, Dell, Gateway, HP, Compaq, Sony, eMachine, etc...) have more issues than White Box systems when it comes to add-on compatibility. If you don't know this already, most of these companies DO NOT want you to purchase off the shelf items from Best Buy, CompUSA, etc...they want you to have to come back to them for upgrades and add-on devices, at higher than retail prices, and that's where they make the most profit. Sad reality, but true. Case in point: My first retail purchased PC was a Dell XPS Pentium 100, (my prior PC's were purchased from Michael Dell's garage) I wanted to upgrade it to a 4X CDROM drive and Dell had failed to include the snap in side rails for their new innovative case that was tool-less. So I called up Dell support and asked if these rails were available. The CS Rep told me that they were so I asked how much. She asked me if I had bought the upgraded device from Dell and I said no. Then she informed me that they wouldn't sell them to me ($6.00 US) because I hadn't purchased the upgrade device from them. Needless to say I was pissed. This was circa 1995-96.
Anyway, over the years of doing network consulting, I can't tell you the countless times that I've heard this type of thing on the phone from many of the above listed companies...yes, most have gotten better over the years (Like Dell including all of the rails needed inside the case nowadays) but overall they still have the same mindset and it's much more subtle when they design a motherboard that won't play in the sandbox well with retail bought components...*shrugs*
I got tired of playing their game after a while and started building my own systems. I found White Box isn't always better either but for the most part it's been a far cry easier than buying proprietary...
Just my 2 cents here for what it's worth...

2.08.0002 Beta Drivers will not install on Audigy 2 Platinum

I am attempting to install the new beta drivers (SBA2_PCDrvBeta_LB_2_08_0002.exe) to gain OpenAL support and better Battlefield 2 performance but I have not been able to. Upon installing the drivers, the system will freeze. I have left it for over an hour, and it remains frozen. On occasion, the installation would work, but then would freeze after I log in again after the reboot. Only way to recover is to reboot in safemode and remove the drivers.
I have tried removing the old drivers entirely (and cleaned the system with Driver Cleaner Pro). I have also tried extracting the driver set and letting windows do the installation, and I have also tried running the secondary setup.exe installer in the driver directory. I also tried changing my video driver, in case that was causing a conflict. Each installtion instance began with all of the Creative-related drivers cleaned by Driver Cleaner Pro.
I checked my msinfo32 and there are no IRQ conflicts or sharing related to the Audigy 2. Overall, I think I have attempted this installation about 5 times.

I just installed itunes 11.1.5.5. Now the format in Itunes is changed. when I am trying to add music to my iphone, there is no longer an add button under the Iphone device. Why did they have to change this? Can anyone help, Im tryiong to add music.

How do you add musci to the Iphone? I just installed itunes 11.1.5.5. Now the format in Itunes is changed. when I am trying to add music to my iphone, there is no longer an add button under the Iphone device. Why did they have to change this? Can anyone help, Im tryiong to add music.

Correct. When you purchase devices, they would have stated the OS they needed to work, on the box. This can be overlooked, but it is very important to check when purchasing.
You current OS, is so old, that they technology build into the new devices, is not something your OS understands. It didn't exist when your OS was created, and therefore you need to upgrade the OS to work with the newer technology of these devices.
10.6 software is not downloadable. You must purchase a DVD disc. You can order it from the on-line apple store

HT4236 I successfully synched photos from my mac book iphoto to my new iphone 5 (icloud did not do the job). Now these photos appear on my phone in three places--iphoto, last import and photo library. Does that mean that they take up three times the mem

I successfully synched photos from my mac book iphoto to my new iphone 5 (icloud did not do the job). Now these photos appear on my phone in three places--iphoto app, last import, and photo library. Does that mean that they take up three times the memory? Will that affect iCloud? Sorry for the end-user questions!!

HHi, thank you for the reply. I have checked my iPad and iPhone and neither has iCloud Photo Library (Beta) enabled. Turned off in both. Photostream is turned on.
i tried to sort it out by dragging all the photos to Events on the Mac and then deleting them from iCloud - (left hand side of iPhoto under the section 'Shared'). the photos now show up in Events. I did force quit but the issue remains. The message reads ' photos are bing imported to the library. Please wait for import to complete.'
i can't empty iPhoto trash either. The message read "Delete error. Please wait for import to complete.'
WHen I was moving the photos to the Events I always had a message about duplicates - to the effect that the photos already existed, did I want to import them? I clicked on Yes, import all duplicates. But when it showed the images - duplicates side by side - one showed the photo and the other was blank.
I really don't know what to do! And I don't know how to handle my iOS devices. Is it to do with the large number of photos? Any help, advice appreciated.
