No equalizer on Audigy 2 ZS plati

Hi,?when i click on the creative graphic equalizer?button, i allways got this:?First, it tells me '' Out of memory '' then i would click ok and get this: TODO:Place dialog controls here. I had an x-fi extreme music for over a year, never had any problems like that. Installed this card yesterday,its been hell since
!!! Anyone had this problem before and solved it's?Carl.

The issue you have, and one that I had for a long time, is the way you have your sound card connected to your dvd-rom dri've. You cant recieve DTS without digitaly connecting it via an s/pdif cable (which comes with the card). Also when you play back the dvd on your dvd player you must change the option to take the audio from the s/pdif input. This option may not even be selectable with the current program you use. I use PowerDvd and I've found that it works perfectly although I did have to buy a newer version of it, most likely because I was using a version that came with the computer. If you use windows media player I'm not sure if it works. Either way good luck!

  • Computer compatible with sounblaster audigy 2 ZS Plat

    I currently have the 6bit version of soundblaster li've on a dell dimension 2400 PC and was curious if i would be able to install soundblaster audigy 2 ZS Plat Pro instead. Is my computer compatible with this because im having difficulty finding anything out from Dell

    ACUBaller83,
    If your system fits to these specifications then it should work, just make sure to completely uninstall the Li've! before installing this (and put the Audigy 2 ZS into a different PCI slot).

  • Can i use REALTIME EQUALIZER of AUDIGY from another application? API of AUDIGY?? H

    Hi to all,?Can i use EQUALIZER of AUDIGY from another application? need SDK? Help me?For example, VIDEOLAN hasn't a REALTIME EQUALIZER.... i want REALTIME EQUALIZER under VIDEOLAN or other application... can i use API of SOUNDBLASTER AUDIGY from another application and how?

    ? Isn't the Audigy EQ working 'globally' (meaning, if it's enabled then it effects on all audio outputted through Audigy)?
    If you mean programming those API calls into your own software then you'll propably need to dig those functions by 'disassembling' the EQ code (it's maybe not very easy...).

  • Audigy 2 ZS Plat/WinXP x64/Gigabyte 965P-DS3/pop, click, hiss during HDD activity **FIXE

    Alright, I've been searching the posts on this board for the past hour with no luck in solving my problem.
    Here are my system specs:
    Core 2 Duo E4300
    4GB G.Skill DDR2-800
    eVGA 8800GTX
    Audigy 2 ZS Plat
    2x320GB SATA RAID 0
    Windows XP x64 SP2
    Whenever there is sound playing during HDD activity the sound clicks, hisses, and pops severely, definitely to the point of being unusable. This happens with both the rear jack and the front panel. The RAID array is on the JMicron controller on the board, not the Intel ICH8 south bridge. This problem does not seem to exist under Windows Vista x64, but that is so unstable that I really need XP to work correctly. I also have the Surround Mixer, Speaker Setup, and EAX Console apps installed, if that means anything.
    Things I have tried:
    Driver reinstallation
    <
    "Clean boot" method described in the FAQ<
    Things I have not tried:
    Putting the card in another PCI slot
    <
    Changing the IRQ of the card
    <
    Changing the PCI latency<
    I don't know a whole lot about the last two (the IRQ and the latency) so if someone could help me out there I'd really appreciate it. Thanks for checking out my problem and for any help you may provide.
    EDIT: I have fixed the issue! The problem was I was using an older driver for the JMicron controller when I slipstreamed it into my XP x64 install disc. I had used the newest one when I installed Vista. I'll keep this post here to help out anyone else who has this issue!
    Get the driver!

  • Windows 7 can use Graphic Equalizer? (Audigy Value)

    and i want to use graphic equalizer, please help me?
    Message Edited by materialise on 03-28-2009 05:03 [email protected]

    Maybe you have installed all this stuff in wrong installations order. I have installed Win7 32 bit on friends Satellite A500 following this installations order:
    -Win7
    -chipset driver
    -storage manager
    -display driver
    -sound driver
    -modem driver
    -supervisor utility
    -infrared
    -patches
    -configfree
    -VAP
    -toshiba hardware setup
    -HDMI control
    -WLAN driver
    Added Vista stuff:
    -Toshiba assist - work properly
    -Card reader - installed properly
    -Webcam driver for A500 - tested with Skype - works properly.
    -Synaptics driver
    Everything works perfectly including hardware setup. I don't know maybe you should install Win7 again following this installations order.
    By the way: hardware setup was shown in control panel in WXP but since Vista not anymore. So I asked you this question because I know for sure it is not in control panel anymore.
    Since Vista Toshiba packed all tools and utilities overview in Toshiba Assist.

  • Equalizer for Audigy Live Missing !! ( was there before)

    8Equalizer for Audigy Li've Missing !! ( was there before)T Hello
    I change my computer so I reinstall my drivers.
    Problem is I scratch my Cd that was sold with my card ( it says Audigy sound blaster 24bit on it). So I Thought no probelm I just download from the net the drivers but big problem then !! No Equalizer is provided in the driver I installed from the internet !! And then I cant find them !
    I tried to manually copy the /program file/creative/equalizer/*.* of my old computer to the new one, but after complaining about missing dll in /system32 then It just doesnt start.( I did copy the missing dll it was requesting but now it just doesnt lauch).
    Where can i download : the whole audigy CD , or the equalizer setup progam? Why is it not included in your web drivers ?
    Im on XP sp3. (both old and new computer)
    my card is an audigy Li've!
    thank you.

    <? hello thank you for your link but none of those worked ( even the called SB 24 , and audigy ). So i connected a new dvd dri've and was finally able to read my damage cd and install the drivers. It's a real pity creative dont publish their drivers !! My card was an OEM , so without box then the least they can do is to provide drivers/equalizer on their site. Equalizer is not an " add on" it's the minimum you can request from the card !! (Next time i'l buy a realteck they are so easy to install from the net! )
    So my cd ID is ( disk.id):
    Sound Blaster Audigy
    SBA-SIS2D--LB
    QS:07280
    R6
    Then the product : you dont even know what you own ! sometimes in application like FL studio it says you have a SB Li've !, but on the creative tool it says audigy .. There isnt any program that can check the rom or something from the card to tell you exactly what your card is.
    Very dissapointed. wont buy that again.

  • Crackling with XBOX games using the Audigy 2 ZS Plat. Pro

    Hey, currently I have my XBOX wired into the internal front dri've that comes with the Audigy2 ZS Plat Pro. That is going in to the optical in, through the XBOX's high definition pack.
    Now, when playing games, (Halo 2, Ghost Recon 2), I notice a LOT of crackling when there are explosions or bass heavy events on screen. It doesn't even seem to be just restricted to bass either, as when sometimes there is loud in-game talking coming through, that crackles as well. It is seems like when there is a lot of sound that is coming through, that triggers it mostly.
    Anyways... I can't see how this would be a hardware conflict, since im just using the sound card to pass the XBOX's sound through to my Logitech Z-5300's. I have played with every setting on the Audio HQ and the Creative menu's (Volume control, bass redirection, THX settings, etc..)
    Also worth mentioning is that games working from my PC are fine, as well as music. So it is definately isolated to the I/O Audigy connector. Also, there is no crackling when played on a regular home stereo receiver, so it is not a defect in the cable or anything.
    Does anybody have any suggestions at all? I have been going nuts trying to figure this out!! I have downloaed and installed the lastest drivers, but perhaps im installing them in the wrong order? Who knows... please, someone help me out!! Hopefully the Creative staff have heard of this and can suggest something for me.
    Thank you so much for your time, and I hope I can get this working!
    EDIT: Oh and also, please dont reference me to that help page on the Creative support page. I have been looking through the forum pages and tried most everything listed.Message Edited by jeffsaylo on -26-2004 07:00 AM

    jeffsaylo what bigben said might be right also in the link i have at the bottom someone fixed this by changing the pci slot cause of a irq being used by 2 devices. worked for him but not for me but maybe you want to try it. check for this by going to control-panel then systemthen /hardware/device manager in device manager click view then "resources by connection" then look under irq for audigy and make shure its on its own number also to free up irq's disable unneed devices(in bios or windows?). anyway didnt work for me but let me know if you have any luck?

  • Audigy 2 ZS plat Pro, "What you hear"? problem PLEASE H

    Hello, im a gamer, I play cs:source. I just bought the plat pro and I have issues. In gaming you must use a microphone to communicate. And everything was great with my Audigy gamer. But after purchasing the plat pro I noticed I had a problem. In the system volume properties in recording windows xp has the default playback as "what you hear". It doesnt transmit what you speak into the microphone, it transmits "what you hear" Lets say you were listening to music and you try to talk into the mic. All they hear is the music, even though you have headphones on and the microphone isnt picking it up. Anyways, thats what "What you hear" does. So I select microphone in the recording properties and all is great, problem fixed. but when I load up cs:source and when I connect to a server it resets windows defaults to "what you hear" So everytime I connect to a server and try to talk all they hear are my game sounds. yes I can alt tab after connectiing to a server and switch it back again to "microphone" but its quite a hassle.
    PLEASE HELP!

  • Sound stopped working on Audigy 2 ZS Plati

    When I installed this sound card, my primary Master hard dri've was a Maxtor 40 GB. I installed the sound card and the driver, and the front-panel I/O dri've, and it all worked perfectly. I just installed a Western Digital 60 GB Hard dri've as the new Primary Master hard dri've. I used the included Data Lifeguard tools to transfer all data, OS, files etc over to this hard dri've from the Maxtor. If I boot to the Maxtor dri've as the Primary Slave hard dri've, I still get sound just fine. However, if I boot to the WDC 60 GB Hard Dri've, there is no sound at all. I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling, and updating the drivers and re-checked all the plugs and cables dozens of times. There's just no sound at all unless I boot to the Maxtor Dri've, in which case the sound works just fine.
    Hard Dri'ves are nothing more than storage. I can't see how a sound card can be incompatible with a Hard Dri've. But there is just no sound, no matter how I twist and turn and squirm, unless I boot to the Maxtor Dri've as the C Dri've (Primary Slave device). Does anyone have any ideas?

    I don't know what the length is, but it would help to know what size case you have.
    One end will be about 5 inches from the back of your case on whichever PCI slot you will use, and the other end will be right at the back of the 5 /4" dri've bay.

  • Audigy 2 ZS Plat everything works except audio cd playb

    After installing the card, I have lost the ability to play audio cds. I have system sound, all audio file types play from HD, both dri'ves read and burn data. All other bundled software functions properly. When I insert an audio cd, all tracks show in My Computer, but trying to open with Windows Media Player gives this error message:
    Windows Media Player cannot play the file. If the file is on another computer, verify that you are connected to the network. If you typed a path, verify that it is correct. If the problem persists, the server might not be available.
    The Creative mixer, EAX, player, etc. all function perfectly, but, when attempting to access the audio CD from the Creative player, an error message reports the the dri've is in use by another process.
    Any ideas on fixing would be greatly appreciated.

    I am having the same exact problem. I am using Windows XP, SP2. I have 2 dri'ves--one is a DVD dri've and one is a combo CD/DVD burner. They have always worked perfectly--never a problem. Now since I installed the Audigy 2 Z5, neither one works to play audio (except the sampler disc that came with the sound card, and that only works with the Creative software).
    I have read the articles and tried all of the ideas. I, too, have the mcicda.dll file in the Windows/System 32 folder. And I do not have the option to install the MCI driver, either.
    PLEASE HELP!!!! I have a project I must get completed and can not move forward if this doesn't work!

  • Sound while recording with audigy 2 zs plati

    i have the audigy 2 zs platinum. i'm using the /4" line in 2/mic in 2 to plug my guitar into. i can hear the guitar fine until i hit the record button on my software. it records what i'm playing, and will play it back with sound, but, again, no sound while recording. i also noticed there's no "li've" sound during playback. i've checked connections, and installed the latest drivers for the card. i'm using adobe audition 2.0 to record. please help!

    Sure. Selecting "Line 2" records the signal just after it has entered the main CL chip, and selecting "What you hear" records the signal after it has been through the mixer/effects DSP in that chip. It's likely that CL lowers the volume a notch to reduce the chance of clipping from mixing/effects processing. Note that the signals at that point are 32-bit, so that some additional headroom really doesn't lose you anything; all you need to do is to raise the recording volume a bit to compensate.
    The card's unity settings are designed for 50% on the recording slider and 00% elsewhere (i.e. there is a 2x digital multiplier on the recording slider). You may get some useful insights from a page I have: <a href=http://pages.sbcglobal.net/hamakerd/sbsrc/ target=_blank>http://pages.sbcglobal.net/hamakerd/sbsrc/[/url] by following the Additional Information link at the bottom, and seeing my comments (under the General heading) about how I determined the recording volume settings I used in that testing.

  • Digital 8 Track & Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Plati

    I have a Korg D8 Digital Recorder. I recorded some of my songs to it this afternoon, and now I want to get the music saved to my PC. How can I do this? I have the optical out on my Korg hooked up to the front of my PC at the optical in on the Sound Blaster. Now I have no idea where to go from there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Get to know below mentioned software st.
    Set Audigy for recording (CT Surround Mixer or Windows Play/Recording Controls and Creative Audio Console or CT Panel) -
    - select playback and recording source: S/PDIF n + enable it,
    - S/PDIF n settings ->set samplerate: same as you have used in Korg, bit-accurate recording
    - before final recording, just chck if you can hear anything coming from Korg
    Depending on what you like to do...
    Record from Korg as Stereo:
    - open Creative Media Sourec (or any other recording software)
    - set input and recording source to S/PDIF n
    - record
    Record every 8 tracks in Korg into individual tracks in software (if this is possible to do in Korg ... send one track at a time):
    - get some multitracking/sequencer software
    - set track for recording, set input source, record one tarck at a time --> add a new track in software for every new track send from Korg ...

  • 7.1 on Audigy 2 ZS Plati

    Hey guys I have an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum card I've owned for years with a 5. speaker setup. I just bought a 2.0 speaker system and can't seem to get 7. going. The first 3 inputs are working fine for Front L/R, Center and Rear L/R outputs but none of the other connections output Surround L/R. I have the latest drivers for the card and have it set to 7. Surround in sound properties. What am I missing here? Any help would be much appreciated. My specs are:? Athlon 64 X2 4000+, 4GB Ram, Windows XP Pro 64x. Thanks.

    Nevermind guys, found out this piece of garbage company makes proprietary connectors for 7. systems. Thanks a lot soundblaster you bunch of moneygrubbing SOB's.
