No audio in games with EAX enab

Hi I just upgraded to an Audigy 2ZS Platinum a few days ago from a regular Audigy in hopes that it would solve all my problems. But it hasnt, in fact it's made them worse.
I loaded up UT2004 today and switched the audio mode to Hardware + EAX and the FX played fine but I got no music at all. When I switched back to simply "3D Audio" in UT I got everything again.
Then I tried playing Condemned: Criminal Origins, which seemed to work well with all EAX and hardware support turned off when I had my Audigy, but now with my ZS2 I get no sound at all. It doesnt matter if I have the EAX turned on or off. Nothing.
I havent tried other games yet, but I'm willing to bet I'll have similar problems. I'd be very thankful for any advice or any links to what drivers I should be using, as I've switched back and forth between a few (none seem to keep everything working.)
MP3s and Windows sounds are fine. I'm using Creative Inspire 5.s a pretty old, low-end model.
Thanks in advance,
Dan

Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the Music/iPod and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

Cant play games with EAX enab

Hello, I was hoping someone might have some advice for me. I recently installed an Audigy 2 ZS and have been unable to play any games with EAX enabled since (including the ones that came in my Gamer bundle). About 30 seconds after starting up the game i start getting horrible high pitched noises from my speakers and the game will act visually like its a skipping DVD(lagging hard?). The noises and skipping come in waves begginning about 0 seconds apart and progessi'vely getting worse so that 2 minutes later its just all lag and sounds like someone chiseling at a chalkboard. All problems seem to go away once i have disabled EAX in the game consoles. I have run the creative updater and gotten all the newest drivers, i have tried physically moving the card to the PCI slots at either end of the stack, i've tried seemingly every combination of settings within the MediaSource panels, just for fun i even tried different speakers. i've run out of ideas and dont know what to do.
please help

ok, nevermind that last post. Ive managed to get unique IRQs assigned for all devices (took some re-arranging and the discarding of a few non-essential PCI cards) but the problem remains. Also, this was probably totally unnecessary because apparently part of complying with the PCI 2. protocol (which this card says it does) is being able to share ICQs.
Also, I have tried as many of the options in that knowledge base article as i could (some of the BIOS options mentioned are not present on my system, etc) but the problem still persists.

Games freeze with EAX enab

I just bought an audigy2ZS, the install went fine and all the sounds are working. However, when I play an EAX-enabled game (Hitman Contracts and SW Battlefront) The whole thing freezes after about 5 minutes of play, if I enable EAX. At first I thought it might be a video card issue, but I realized that if I disable EAX when playing everything works fine. I'm using the most recent drivers for everything. I even tried to uninstall everything and just use the drivers alone. I just can't seem to figure out where I'm going wrong.
thanks

7.1 audio in Games with Optical out/Sound Blaster X-FI Titanium

Hi All,
I just recently upgraded my speaker setup from inspire 7800 (which still worked great except losing sound on one of the rear speakers every now and then ... something wrong in the sub i think). So I went online, and surprisingly and sadly no one sells 7. computer speakers anymore, as to why that is a mystery to me.
Anyways, now I am running a Onkyo Home theatre in a box, which comes with a 7. setup with a receiver that i thought would solve my problem, but what happens now in games is I can only get 5. sound, and nothing through the side speakers, actually, it puts the sound through my side speakers and calls them the back channel. Currently it is hooked up from the X-fi Titanium via TOSLINK to the receiver, and I am choosing 7. speakers for my output in the Audio Console, and have tried both DTS and Dolby Digital Li've modes without success to get 7. for games (That's why I bought this setup!). I have a sad feeling it's only going to work with 5. sound for games (It outputs to 7. for music no problem). Is there any fix I can turn on to make true 7. audio go from the PC into my receiver and get outputted properly for games?
I also just wanted to say I'm not sure why 7. speakers seem to be getting shunned from all the?manufacturers, but it's sad that I can use 6 year old technology and make this work, and I assumed that with the new tech of digital output, I should be able to get the same result, but somehow, I can't get 7. sound for games.
Any thoughts anyone would have would be great. I'm thinking im just going to hook this up to my TV upstairs and plug back in my Inspire 7800 through analog and keep using them until they die fully, which I hope doesnt happen for a long time.

So in an interesting turn of events, I went to plug my old 7. inspire speakers in, and the problem i was having with low audio moved from a back speaker to my front speaker. So after testing moving centre speaker to the left input , and that worked for both, i moved them back, and now all of my speakers work fine! I was doing this before I bought the Onyko setup, and it wasn't making a difference at all, I was still getting low sound from the back speaker.. Strange. You've got to love technology. Well, no loss, I needed a good home theatre setup anyway. If anyone could still answer my question that would be great though?

EAX issues in games with Audigy SE, one way or the ot

Hello everyone. I hope I'm asking for help in the correct forum. If not, please forgive my noobishness. =)?I don't know what's wrong, but EAX in Bioshock has terrible issues. I have XPx64 SP2, Audigy SE and when my corvette was new, I obtained SoundBlaster drivers specifically for x64 from April 06. But these were terrible. In many games (f.e. FEAR) the sound was terribly distorted after a while with unbearable loud mechanic buzzing. I had a serious issue in Oblivion as it was rebooting my computer when I was loading a game and it took me a while until I realized that the x64 drivers are causing it. I got rid of them and installed reference drivers I bought on CD with the card and everything was fine. Now Bioshock came out. Overall the EAX works good in it, but I have some serious crackling. I tried to lower the sound channels/streams values in INI, but it didn't remove crackling. So I though I would update drivers again. Indeed, Creative has released unified drivers for XP and Vista last July. I installed them, launched Bioshock with EAX ON, loaded a game and ... AARGH, my ears! The sound was like zapping loudly and rapidly, a real acoustic horror. This means I have serious EAX issues with all newer drivers than the reference ones on CD, but even with the new ones I have crackling in Bioshock anyway, with addition of the audio distortion. I have tried to turn off EAX and use CMMS3D instead, with Reverb which doesn't seem to cause any problems in BS. The sound was deep and rich, except that the crackling and stuttering is still there!?No flawless sound for me. Is my Soundblaster physically borked or something... =(?

Well, I know that with SE, EAX processing is left for the CPU. You think this would be the source of problem?
I have no option to select from software or hardware mode in games' audio menu, devs normally don't do add that option to audio menus (at least I never seen it in any game yet). In games I can normally only select whether I want EAX or not, or just like in case of BioShock, whether I want to turn Reverb on or off, and it would be left for the drivers to call the CPU to process EAX.Message Edited by RogueKeeper on 0-6-200707:5 AM

Having sound distortions in games with M-Audio Revolution 7.1

I'm having sound distortion problems with a couple of games. I think this started a few OS X updates ago, but not sure which one. Two known games are Quake 3 and Quake 4. When I run either of them, the sound is deep and distorted.
I'm sure an update of OS X broke m-audio's revolution driver. I currently have driver version 1.4.1. I only have distortions when sending sound output to my sound card. Sound sent to internal speaker comes out fine. I also tried with a freshly created user and freshly reinstalled driver & prefs. Same problem.
I've tried M-Audio's site with no luck for solutions. It's been a year or so since they have updated it.
Is anyone else having similar experiences with their M-Audio Revolutions?

Audio problem only with some application and with games

Hi,
Some days my ipad2 presents this problem: audio is ok with itunes and when I look a video on youtube but it not work when I use some app (for example, Sky Go, app for cinema to look trailer) or with games.
What should I do?
Thanks

If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

Good News? Audigy with EAX - Working in Win 7 Beta

2Good News? Audigy with EAX - Working in Win 7 Beta} Helo!
First I have instaled the Audigy support pack and my old Audigy MP3+ works fine (in/out, Game port, Creative Audio Console, SoundFont bank manager ) but the EAX console do not run and the EAX in Audio Console have only the enviroments, not the EQ and FX. In other battle I have instaled the Audio HQ of
original installation CD. I stoped the install before the drivers... I want only the Audio HQ working and in the old EAX console I can configure the ENV variables. Then I read a post where I heard speak about the PAX PCI Audigy OS V6.25, well... why not try this too? Run the driver deinstallation and restart.
Then the driver install runs and I see the modem link light indicate a download (?) next the classic blue window of death appear.
Shut down windows and restart and all works fine including the EAX in the Audio Console with ENV, EQ, FX options. The old EAX console works fine and I can configure all the effects. Now only the Creative Game port don't install but I make the Update driver using the one in Audigy support pack and now all works fine.
I hope wich this can help somebody...

' - any input maybe on solving the microphone mess maybe ? i can hear from speakers the microphone input, but the signal it doesnt seem to get through the drivers or any windows routine that can recognise and control it, its like its going from microphone directly to speakers without any app or windows to be able to trace it or sense it ...
- from encoder switcher, which encoder should i prefer to leave on? and whats the difference? what applications does it affect ?

Play video games with MSI VOX USB?

Hi,
I am interested in getting the MSI VOX USB 2.0 External TV Box and I am just wondering if I can play video games such as Playstation 2 with my laptop using this tv tuner. I heard some tv tuners have the "delay" make them useless to play video games. Does MSI VOX USB have this "dealy", and how is the the picture quality while playing video game with this tv tuner?
Thanks in advance.
Jim

Hiya,
I dont really understand the VoxBox but I've just inadvertadly managed to put the PS2 on my laptop by plugging the video/audio cables into the converter and then into a USB port, and although it did work, and there wasnt a delay or anything, the quality was poor compared to a TV and also it flickered a bit so I'm not sure it would work that well- but that may have just been my computer playing up. Definitely possible though. Sorry I cant offer much more advice!

Playing DVD's with THX support is great but in games with THX supprt the sound is

Hi,
I have search but nothing found in the forum so I post my problem.
I have bought the Trust 7. Home Theatre System 80B which is connected to the Creative Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS. Running on Windows XP SP2.
When I play a DVD with support for THX the sound is awesome. But when I start a game which also has support of THX then is the sound in the game very bad:
No Sub sound</LI>
The sound is very shrill</LI>
And only sound is from the left and right front speaker</LI>
Also is there a crackling noise in place with much ambient (connecting 2 normal speakers gives no crackling sound)</LI>
Although the speaker THX test in the Creative Volume is successful, which means that all the speakers are connected well, the volume control from Windows XP has no slidebars to control al the volume from the different channels. Also is the default sound when Windows XP is starting only from the left and right front speakers and the noise is low.
Why is playing a DVD good, and the sound in the game not?
I hope for help.
Regards,
W Hoefsloot

THX isn't a sound format, just a certification that the audio streams combined with THX processor and speakers will give the best result from the point of view of mister Lucas.
Your sound is crackling because of bad configuration, or bad driver installation.
Read the knowledge base and the forum for optimizing sound quality and installation.

Can you facetime and play game with person at same time

Yes, simply close the app and you can continue to talk. However, the other person cant see you and you cant see them. You can only do an audio session.

HT4137 I have two iPad's that use the same iTunes/store account. I want the two devices to play games with with other, but it recognizes them as the same. I have set up two different iCloud accounts, but still not recognizing the users as different. What

Hello, I have no idea if my question went out, so I'll post it again. I have two iPads (one 3rd gen and one 4th) that use the same iTunes/store account. I want the two devices to game with each other, but the apps recognize them as the same. I have created two different iCloud accounts in an attempt to differentiate between the two, but no luck. How can I continue to use the same iTunes/store account for music and movies, but also have the two devices recognize each other for games?

You can share your iTunes ID and still have separate iCloud accounts with separate IDs, they don't have to be the same. If you kids don't already have an iCloud account, have them set up separate accounts on their devices using separate IDs. If they are already sharing your account, migrate their devices to separate accounts. To do this, start by saving any photo stream photos they wish to keep to ther camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), then tap Save to Camera Roll. If they are syncing notes with iCloud, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to them so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in their new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from thier device and won't effect your device), choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone (if using iOS 7). Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create their new account and choose Merge to upload the data. Once everyone is on a separate account you can go to icloud.com from your computer, sign into each account separately and delete your data from their account.

How do i buy games with an itunes gift card?

just yesterday i upgraded to the ipod touch 5 because my previous one (touch4) was smashed. the day before it was smashed, i redeemed an itunes gift card on it. of course it shows my balance is still there but when i went to buy a game, it needed me to enter new credit card info. i've seen many questions on here saying that yes, you can buy games with an itunes giftcard, but no one answers how, or why it may be doing this. can anyone help?

Try checking all your money situations on your Apple account.

I am using earphones, but the external audio of my mini ipad is still on. How can I turn off the external audio while listening with my headset?

I am using earphones, but the external audio of my mini ipad is still on. How can I turn off the external audio while listening with my headset/earphones?

Other than iMovie, GB always incorporates the audio files into the GB package. So just save or move the GB project to the external drive, and you're done - anything you import, edit or record will be saved to the external drive.
