No audio with Audigy

Well, I've spent days trying to get sound on vista and I'm still unsucessful. Hopefully, someone can help. I'll summarize my situation. . Installed the final version of Vista Ultimate 32bit on a new harddri've on my system. (nothing like a clean install). I still have my old HD in there as a slave and by changing the boot dri've in my BIOS I can easily revert back to my XP just in case I had problems with vista. 2. My motherboard is an ASUS A7V8X-X with an Athlon 2600+ processor. The motherboard has a built-in Realtek sound card. 3. Initially I had sound, but at some point it stopped. Unfortunately, I didn't notice it until I had no way of knowing what stopped it. So I tried installing the latest Realtek drivers and nothing would work so I decided to go out an buy a new sound blaster card that had vista drivers. Since I'm not heavily into "sound", I just purchase an inexpensi've Audigy SE card. 4. I uninstalled the Realtek driver from the devicemanager rebooted and change my BIOS to disable the on board sound card. 5. When vista booted I ran the install for the vista beta drivers for the Audigy SE. Still no sound. 6. Rebooted. Still no sound. 7. Changed the sound card to various PCI slots, rebooted, etc. Still no sound. 8. Just to make sure, I booted to my Windows XP dri've and installed the drivers and the sound works well. A little skippy I must admit, but it works none the less. 9. Another symptom is that my little speaker icon in the task tray has a red x on it and if you select to open it, it says, "No audio device is installed". 0. If you look at the card in the device manager it seems ok. . If you go to sounds in the control panel, the recording tab hangs the control applet. Does anyone have a clue what it going on?or how I can figure what to do to fix this. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks?

This is getting stranger...
I just found that some DVD movies do play OK with good audio.
The DVDs which play without audio play OK on a set-top DVD player, however.
Those same DVDs have also played with good audio with my internal Soundblaster card, so I'm assuming this is still an Audigy issue.

b noir,
I can get itunes to start if I disable Bonjour or if I "repair" it first. Sometimes I can repair Bonjour though add/remove programs, sometimes it will only "repair" using WinRar. Sometimes I have to "repair" Bonjour 2 or 3 times to get iTunes to start.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling at least a dozen times. I have tried redownloading iTunes at least 5 times and from different links. This leads me to believe that the dnssd.dll file is not itself corrupt, but this newest version is causing a conflict with XP somewhere somehow.
Team, iTunes 10.2.2.12 has just been released. I installed it and checked, and BonJour's been updated to version 2.0.5.0, and there's a new 2.0.5.0 version of dnssd.dll on my system. So I reckon it's worth a try updating to that to see if it's of any help with your trouble.

Just need 1/8 inch to RCA for digital coax out with audigy se right?

DJust need /8 inch to RCA for digital coax out with audigy se right? Hi there,
I need a low profile soundcard that can deli'ver digital 5. through either coax or optical, looks like the audigy se will do just that. I have a yamaha receiver with DTS, DD, etc with a coax input that I want to use. I want to confirm that all I really need is a cable that has an /8 inch plug for the blue digital out on the soundcard with an RCA end for my receiver.... sounds simple enough to me but I want to make sure. I know I can get the digital I/O module but don't see a point if I just need the cable I mentioned.
Thanks.

Let's take Battlefield 242 for example. The game will not allow me to specify hardware sound.
That would be because that card DOES NOT have any hardware on it, it is a totally software dri'ven card.
And yes your old Li've card is much better than the Audigy SE. The Audigy SE is nothing more than a re-named SB Li've 24 bit, which is also a software based card (same applies to the X-Fi Xtreme Audio, a POS card that should have never been given the X-Fi name).

"audio quality" Audigy 2 vs. Nforce onboard

5"audio quality" Audigy 2 vs. Nforce onboardS hi everyone,
i bought myself an old Audigy 2 from Ebay a week ago, hoping i can increase my fps ingame on my old 2200+ computer.
i really felt the increase, especially in Doom 3. But today i threw out the Audigy again.
the bass from my subwoofer (teufel concept e mpe) is sooooo weak (in games and winamp) and sounds like a cheap passi've subwoofer.
i tested every single setting, hoping to get a better sound out of it, but it didn't work. the bass just feels "weak".
i'm pretty surprised, because i thought i'd get at least the same sound quality.
does anyone have experiences with that? i can't believe the onboard sound is better than the Audigy's!
i set the frequency for subwoofer to 20hz, increased the volume of the subwoofer, changed the equalizer.
but it just sounds like a passi've sub and "cheap". (sry my english isn't good enough to find fitting adjecti'ves)
can anyone help me with that? does anyone have the same problem?
thanks in advance.

If you used the auto update function you're probably already using the latest drivers. However if you didn't then definately install Dan K's pack - they're the best drivers currntly available for the Audigy 2. You'll want to uninstall the previous drivers, then do a clean up using Driver Sweeper beforehand though - Creative's drivers can be problematic
The problem with the Audigy 2 is that its analog output quality isn't especially good anymore, when compared to newer devices - even onboard. This is demonstrated when and if you swicth over to use Dolby Digital Li've.
I'm assuming the sound quality improvment I got has got to do with the fact that when using DDL, the Audigy's DACs and other analog components are skipped because the audio signal is being sent straight out, digitally, to my reciever.
The audio quality improvement I got was huge, to the extent that, eax/gaming aside, I can't actually hear the difference between an X-Fi and my Audigy anymore. Before using DDL li've the difference was obvious.
It may simply be that your nForce's analog output is of a higher quality.
Analog quality aside though, the Audigy 2 is still the better device, or at least the more capable. It really depends on whether or not you're a gamer I suppose.
If you've got a digital reciever then try the DDL pack and connect your Audigy to your reciever using the digital output.
If not, and you're not a gamer, then I'd stick with your nForce if that sounds better? < - this being advice I'd imagine you must find rather anoying.
Message Edited by Meocene on 08-0-2009 03:5 AM
thanks for these informations.
unfortunately i can't use DDL, because i don't own a receiver.
music is at the moment the more important thing, i'm gaming about 4 hours a week.
i'll keep the audigy though, maybe i'll rebuild an old 3000+ system i still have. (the sound THERE really sounds crappy)
thanks for all answers and your help!
EDIT: does the usual audigy 2 driver panel look like this: http://www.hartware.de/showpic.php?type=review&id=606&path=/media/reviews/606/xfi_screen_thx_big.jpg

Problem with Audigy 2 Platinum Front Panel Input

0Problem with Audigy 2 Platinum Front Panel Input? Hey everyone,
Here's the background of the issue. I got a PS3 over the holidays for literally free
I had my computer out in a testbed style. Plugged the PS3 into my monitor HDMI --> DVI cable, and Red/White into the front RCA jacks of the Front Panel (Aux 2). As soon as I plugged in the cable, I got sound out of my speakers and was able to enjoy my PS3 in 720p
I put all of the components back into the case after cutting exhause and intake fan holes. I brought everything back to school, fired up the PC and PS3. Lo and behold, there is no more sound from the PS3. I know that PS3s are temperamental in moving, but I hooked the audio up to my TV and the sound came out just fine. The AD Ext cable looks like it's secure and in place. When I hooked up a mic and headphones to the front, they worked fine as well. However it seems to be just the AUX 2 RCA inputs that dont work anymore. Any ideas about how to fix this issue? Is there a function I have to turn on now in the software to allow sound to pass through? Any information would be wonderful!? I'm going to try an optical cable in the near future, just need to borrow one from a friend =/

Problem Solved.
I had moved my cards around for better airflow. I moved the SB Audigy card from the bottom PCI slot to the top. Thinking this might be the problem, I moved the video card back to the top slot PCI-E and the sound card to the bottom PCI slot. Sound is now working again. Thanks for the thread views?:smileytongue:
Think that when I have to buy Win 7 for real if the problem would still persist if I moved the card again? Or is this a hardware limitation?

Pops sounds when Decoding AC3 with audigy

Hi, i want to make audigy zs decode ac3, doing the following:
in powerdvd 6 , i set to spdif out, and in audigy "use internal decoder" is enabled, it works fine with dts decoding, but with ac3 there's pops sounds during loud scenes, if i enable "dynamic range compress" in AudioHQ, the pops sounds disapears but the dynamic range is gone too, something i don't want because i really want to enjoy that sound.
Is there a way to listen the wide range sound of AC3, i mean with dynamic range enable without the pops sounds that produce when decoding ac3 with audigy zs?
someone has tried this or there's no chance to do it at all!

Well, a think all of you are not telling the truth, because you dont' even test it in the scene i mention(Lord of thr rings)
For you to know, there's movies that there's no pops sounds at all, like the original star wars trilogy, shrek , no problem, but in LOTR trilgy there's a problem.
Now for BigBen he said something different in:
http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=soundblaster&message.id=3043&quer y.id=4735#M3043
In that forum, i had and old computer Pentium III 500 MGHZ, that didnt,t work anything, Dvd audio, dts, ac3 decoding. nothing.
I tried all and nothing.
finally i gave in, and bought another cpu because maybe it was an issue of the mother card,
i bought a Compaq DeskPro En(Pentium III 000MGHZ). now all the problems i had before are gone, except for the pops sounds in Ac3 decoding in LOUD SCENES, now this is common problem for most users, now if you say you don't have, well try lord of the rings Trilogy, Return of the king!

Welcome to Apple Discussions
It is frustrating to find content not playable on Safari. Yahoo Music is one example. The Mac does come with adequate plug-ins - if only certain sites would cooperate too! Eventually, these limitations will go away. But for the moment there is a PC bias evident in certain web sites. When I run into the Safari wall, I use Firefox as an alternative. Seems it has an easier time with media content than Safari. Have you tried it?
Not sure why you had problems with the WMP download? Flip4Mac, which lets you view Windows Media content through Quicktime, would be a good alternative for Windows Media Player.

Final Cut Express won't capture audio with the video anymore, why?

I have used Final Cut Express 4 for over a year now with no problems, but recently I am unable to capture any audio with the video from my camera. I can do it through iMovie no problem. I can't figure out if I changed a setting by accident because everything looks normal to me. Could another program be interfering with this? Quicktime Pro? I have no idea how to fix this.

First of all, we need a bunch of information in order to help. Please provide the specs of the footage and the sequence you are using. Also, are you using DV, HDV, or AVCHD? Do you hear audio when the clip is played in the viewer, or is there no audio at all once the clip is captured/ingested?

When I try to record with "recordmydesktop --device looprec", it will not start recording and closes with the following error:

I can record from the microphone with with the command "recordmydesktop". I succeeded in recording the internal audio with audacity by choosing the device "looprec" for recordings. I'm not sure why RecordMyDesktop gives an error while Audacity does not. Below is my ~/.asoundrc, which I copied from the aforementioned thread. I am not knowledgeable, but I guess there is a mistake in it? Would you please assist me solving this error? Thank you for your time.

No audio with video, website navigation impaired, I can no longer recommend Firefox

I maintain the video site shaleshockmedia.org. I can no longer recommend Firefox to viewers because of the severe problem I have been experiencing: No audio with video; navigation often does not work. Maybe this is purely a local problem. Please let me know if the site is fully functional or not when you go there. There is no problem with Chrome or Safari. My computer is a Macbook Pro 3,1 Intel Core 2 Duo. MacOs 10.6.8

Note that there are a lot of popular extensions that can cause issues with videos not working apart from issues with the Flash plugin.
In what way is the navigation not working properly?
Can you give some examples?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Dubbing Audio with ASUS P6T WS Pro motherboard ADI AD2000B Audio CODEC

I am trying to dub audio commentary into my clips using the SoundMAX program settings provided with the ASUS ADI AD2000B Audio Codec. I have confirmed a microphone signal appears in SoundMAX and that PPro Audio Hardware Settings/Enable Devices has a check mark against 'Microphone(SoundMAX Integrated'. The other unchecked device shown is 'Line In (SoundMAX Intergrated Di'. When I set up the Audio Mixer with a mono Audio 4 channel, click the Audio 4 microphone icon to turn it on, turn off all other audio channels, click the record button, then speak into the microphone, no signal appears. Unfortunately, I have not been able to confirm that I am providing ASIO audio to PPro. I need to know if I am wasting my time trying to dub audio with the present setup or I am missing something. If no ASIO is possible using the present setup, what audio card do you recommend?

When you have your Mic input enabled in ASIO hardware setup, then in the audio mixer ou need to arm tracks with mic inputs then, then press the record button the input should be seen at this point. But to record you voice over onto time line you need to play the timeline. So that the targeted Audio Track will be recorded onto timeline. And after you stop playback you will se recorded audio.
Good luck.

No audio with video in itunes

Hi, no matter what I do, the audio won't play with the video when in itunes, regardless if it's a file I converted to m4v or if it's a video file I purchased and downloaded from the itunes music store like "alias" episodes OR if I'm just previewing streaming music videos from the itunes music store...no audio period. The purchased downloads that are synched to my ipod will play the audio with the video on the ipod and the mp3 songs play fine within itunes and the ipod, just the audio for the video doesn't seem to work at all. Any help here?
PC Windows XP

had the same problem...recently upgraded itunes, now video did not play audio.
Found this info on the web, and it solved my problem:
http://www.smartcomputing.com/editorial/article.asp?article=articles/archive/r10 04/44r04/44r04.asp&guid=
"Problem: You have the latest version of iTunes and QuickTime and you still don’t get audio from iTunes.
Solution: Open the QuickTime Player and go to the Edit menu to choose Preferences, then QuickTime Preferences. Click the resulting dialog box’s Audio tab, then select the Safe Mode (waveOut Only) checkbox. Click Apply, reboot your system and try playing media in iTunes again."

How do you play YouTube audio with the screen off with iPod 5th gen?

I used to own a 2nd gen iPod touch, which ran on an ios 4.2.1 system, that allowed me to play YouTube with the screen off. Ever since I got iPod 5 which came with ios 7, let's say I am kinda still getting the hang of how everything works. I still would like to play YouTube while the screen is off, but seem to not know how. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? It's running on ios 8, so if you could help me with this, I would gladly appreciate it!

Hi there, you can download itube, it's in the app store, and that allows you to save youtube videos for offline play. Also, you can play youtube audio with the screen off, even without a third party app. Click on a video. When it's playing, press the lock button. Press it again, to wake the device up. You should see your video on the front of the display, with a play button. Click it, and it will start playing even if the device is off. Hope I helped, ~Samuel.
