No sound with SB Audigy SE on Bioshock.

When I put the "Use Creative EAX Audio" audio option on(for Bioshock), I get no sound from the game other then loud crackling noises. Is the SB Audigy even compatablie with [email protected]

I bought a SB Li've 24-bit card, and meet the same problem. I use a pair of sound boxes and or earphones. When I switch them. The sound probability disappear. Then I pull out and plug the connector several times, and then...the sound come back. I think maybe it's the problem of the sound card's sound box setup. Maybe it have the function of "sound box auto check"(Sorry, my English is so......poor). I suggest you change your earphones for a test. Or pull out, plug,pull out, plug........ I think the sound should come back

Intermitten sound with my Audigy

I have had the Audigy LS for quite a while now and just recently it started acting goofy. I am an avid game player and when I play i have no sound. I check all the settings, make sure the sound and volume are on/up, and i make sure my sound isn't muted on the PC. Thing is though I still have windows sounds aka the dings and dongs when I log in or out of windows and other sounds from the desktop. When I go to get into my Creative Volume Control i get an error, "The audio device supported by this application is not detected" and when I restart my computer everything works fine and dandy for a while then craps out again. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks a ton!

I've not used wireless audio equipment of any type, but I found a Bluetooth Wireless desktop made by Gear Head (keyboard and mouse). It's a proper Apple keyboard, not a Windows 'Mac compatible' keyboard, and has the glossy white appearance that matches the Apple Remote nicely. It works quite effectively, and I've only experienced one snag with using these - the mini won't stay asleep until it looses touch with the BT peripherals. Apparently there's a 'keep alive' done every so often, and since I do have the mini set to wake from a BT device it seems to mean it can't sleep until the BT device is truly asleep as well. My workaround was to set the mini to sleep after 3 hrs automatically.
On the whole I find the BT on the mini to be very effective of a connection. Range is great - I can use the devices halfway across my house through walls if I want. Should be similarly effective for your needs.

Distorted / choppy recorded sound with Audigy 2 ZS and Vista 64-bit

Hi, I wonder if anybody has any idea of why this issue is happening. First let me give you my PC specs:
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 940 @ 3.0 GHz
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4 rev. 2.0
Graphics: 2 x BFG GeForce 8800 GT 52MB
RAM: 4 x GB G.Skill PC6400 @ 800 MHz
Sound: Creative SB Audigy 2 ZS
TV Tuner:? Hauppauge WinTV PVC PCI II (26xxx)
OS: Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit SP
?So here's the deal. I have no problems whatsoever with audio playback with this sound card. The issue I am having is while recording sound with it. When I record my voice via a Microphone with the Windows Sound Recorder and then play it back, my voice sounds very choppy. It sounds as if I was talking in front of a fan. The same happens with any program I try to use. If I use Audacity to record sound, the playback is also distorted / choppy. The main problem is with Skype, as I cannot use it to talk to people because they cannot understand what I'm saying because of the issue. Does anybody has any ideas why this happens? My PC is a dual boot PC with Vista 64-bit and XP 32-bit, and this issue only happens with Vista. Sound recorded plays back fine under Windows XP.
I am using the latest drivers available for this card from the Creative site.
I'd appreciate your help,
Daniel

A little bit off topic here, but 64bit does not mean more performance at all lol.
Sure, but there are in some cases drastic performence diferences. Under a fresh installed Vista X64 i have less CPU usage, as under 32 bit. But of course X64 uses more RAM (some tasks are double 32 and 64 bit).But the main reason I have more performence is, that the games I often play, get almost a boost. Dont ask me why, but under 64 bit EAW and FOC have the same FPS as under 32 bit. But under X64 I use a bit more Details and a higher resolution. (both are 32 bit games, so its a bit funy )?______________________?Sure there are other ways to install the drivers. But if some Setup dosent work, the first thing I try is to get it via Divice Management. And as this worked for me, I dont waste time to try other methods (Had bad experience, you can break the driver faster than install it *G*)?______________________?Some Questions I have left (after a few hours undr X64 with Creative Drivers):?Could it be, that the driver causes sometimes havy CPU usage?Could it also be, that the driver causes some lags, after you copy a file (the end sound, copy is finihed, but takes more time for "final finish", than without the drivers) - I know that Vista has some problems, on some PCs with copy, and that MS has an inoficial Patch (but dosent help for my PC so far)

Sound problem with the Audigy 2 va

Hi, I have asound problem with the Audigy 2 value. most of applictaions I played got sound. however, when I play FS2004, the sounds come on only the ATC voice in game playing, 5sec after the voice over, the sound is gone, and only when another voice is playing, the sound comes out. please helps out.

Shedden,
I would suggest going ahead with a cleansweep and reinstall of the card. Here are instructions on how to cleansweep and reinstall your sound card:

Audigy 2 ZS ------ No sound with games when choosing EAX 2 or EA

Got problems with Audigy 2 ZS besides those mentioned above, pc keeps crashing during games.
Windows doesn't recognise the driver even though i have the latest drivers. Disabled onboard Audio, but still no progress. To get sound with games have to choose other sources.
Any ideas?

Sounds like an IRQ conflict. Change the PCI Slot in which you have your card installed.

Distorted user sounds with Audigy BETA driv

Not sure where to post this except here - let me know if there's a better place.
I installed the Audigy BETA drivers to use with my Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro and Vista Premium 32 using the 4. output with CMSS.
I found that the system sounds worked fine but the wavs that I added myself - "You've got new mail" etc - distorted heavily.
After spending some time on this I found that the "cause" was that Vista's built-in sounds are all recorded in stereo and the wavs that I was using were mono. Editting the samples to create pseudo-stereo (I used Audacity) solved the problem.
I thought that this might be useful info if anyone else has the same problem.

I have this same problem with the beta drivers and I am using X-Fi Xtrememusic. All my mono desktop wavs are distorted. Even my Xfire "Click" to let me know a friend has signed on is all static (must be a mono sound as well) What gives Why would Mono files cause this static
Just to add a note: These same files will play fine through the Windows Media player.
Another Note: The Text to Speech feature must be in mono, because this is also distorted. People that leave and enter my vent use the TTS and it is all distorted. Any way to make this stereo Or do we know why mono would be distorted

Flash player 11.3 to 11.7.700.169 crash my sound card Creative audigy LS 5.1

flash player 11.3 to 11.7.700.169 crash my sound card Creative audigy LS 5.1, I Updated the sound card drivers, I run Windows XP pro, dirextx 9C 3GO ram, since winxp don't detected more then 3 GO over 4ram, I have a Nvidia video card but the video is not the issue here the audio is, ever since i updated flash player to 11.3 my sound keep crashing and no updated so far fix anything, I even tried to lower to 16 bit 48 mhz as suggested and that din't fix anything, I keep crash, also the only way to foix it I must manualy empty the temporary internet files and the temp files otherwise not even a reboot work, after i empty those files I need to reboot and the sound get back, I even tried to use the flash uninstall program before installing any updated, nothing work, i still get my sound card to crash...anyone know how to fix this issue? .I hope this will be fix soon, thank you.

As I say on my previous e-mail the problem started when I install the 10.3, and I did updated it every time there was an update t'ill now 11.7.700.169.
The problem started to happend only after I download flash player 11.3 , and still remain even after all the update to 11.7.700.169.
I can watch video the sound is good on firefox 20, that it not the problem here, the problem is after I have use flash player on blog or youtube , after I close the browser the sound card crash on all my device crash, I can't play mp3, or avi, the only sound I still can hear are the waves sound of windows.
I updated my sound card drivers, I even tried uninstall flash player using the program they sugess to download to uninstall flash player device.
I even try running the computer few days to see if my sound card was going to crash, I wasn't able to look any youtube video then, it was telling me I had to install the latess flash player device plugin to watch them, but everything was running fine with out any problem , my sound card never crash then, on the mean time flash player did an updated so I download it, and right after it was install the same sound card problem start to happend all over again.
If I open my browser to watch a video on youtube or I go to a blog with webcam, right after I close the browser "wich is firefox 20 since I also updated firefox everytime to make sure it's not the problem" The sound card crash, and the only way to make it work again is to before I reboot, I need to empty the temporary internet files manualy and the temp files, other wise even if I reboot the sound card won't work, if i don't empty those files, the problem remain.
I don't really understand how this happend and why, but I know that it's after I install the flash player that all my sound card problem started to happend.
Now I would gladly go with out flash player if I could still blog or look youtube, this way the problem was solved for me, but I can, and it's very annoying to go to all this process everytime to get back my sound.
Thank you.

No sound with Flash 11.3 - Sound card conflict?

After updating to Flash 11.3 (11.3.300.257) on a Dell desktop on April 10 there was no sound in Firefox, Chrome or Safari. There was sound in Internet Explorer (IE9). I think I have determined that the source of my sound problems was some kind of conflict between Flash 11.3, my sound card and the three browsers above. My sound card is a Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE.
If audio was output through the Dell's built-in sound there was sound with Flash 11.3. If audio was output through the sound card there was no sound with Flash 11.3.
I also have an HP notebook computer (no sound card; HP says current notebooks use built-in sound) running Windows 7 (64). I downloaded Flash 11.3 from: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ on April 16 and have sound on Firefox, IE9, Chrome and Safari.
There have, however, been two crashes reported on Firefox.
On two computers my experience has been that if audio is being output through the computer's built-in sound that sound works all right in Flash 11.3 .
If you are having problems with sound in Flash 11.3 please describe the problems, system information and details about any sound card you are using.
Maybe the good people at Adobe will provide some guidance about what information they would like to see here.

Here are more details in case these might help users or the Adobe team.
Prior to updating to Flash 11.3 I had 11.2 on Windows Vista (32) on a Dell E510 desktop with external speakers connected to the sound card. There were never any problems with sound with Flash 11.2 or previous versions. Drivers on the sound card are up to date.
I filed a bug report about the sound issues on April 11, number 3210981.
Also, there are 15 crash reports on my Firefox browser from April 10 to 14 (accessed by typing "about:crashes" in the address bar) .
I reverted to Flash 10.3 on April 14 and there was sound in IE, Firefox and Safari. There was no sound in Chrome which had automatically updated to Flash 11.3
On April 17 I did an experiment.
When external speakers were connected to the Sound Blaster Audigy sound card (and the sound control panel was set to "Speakers SB Audigy") there was no sound in Chrome (Flash 11.3).
When the speakers were connected to the computer's built-in sound output (and the sound control panel was set to the computer's built-in audio, "Speakers SigmaTel...") there was sound in Chrome (Flash 11.3). Note: restart may be required for changes in the sound control panel to take effect.
There was sound in Firefox with Flash 10.3 with either configuration.
Finally, I physically removed the sound card and connected the speakers to the computer's built-in output. (I probably didn't need to physically remove the sound card but I wanted to anyway.) I updated to Flash 11.3 and now I have sound in Firefox, IE9, Chrome and Safari.
It remains to be seen if there will still be crashes on Firefox.

Problems with my Audigy X-FI Platimun

Recently I bought the Audigy X-FI Platinum for my pc, replacing my old good Audigy Platinum.
These are my rig specs:
Asus A8N SLI Premium
AMD 64 3800 X2 Processor
ASUS GT6600 vcard
80 GB SATA Drive
60 GB SATA Drive
OS: Windows XP Professional SP 2 32Bit
Desktop Theater 5.1 DTT2200 Speakers.
The problem is that when I am viewing a DVD, playing any game or just listening mp3 the audio just go. I have to "play" a little with the cables that connect my speakers to the audiocard in order to get sound again. But when I hooked the speakers with my Audigy Platinum again I do not experience any kind of problem.
Any help would be appreciated!

No modified .inf file will enable the DTS or Dolby tabs in the Dell OEM XremeMusic. No hacked drivers will do either (maybe in the future).
I have the same card, and I've experimented a bit with it (I bought it to use it rather than to spend my time trying to enable functionalities that I actually don't miss), with the help of some "experts".
The only way to enable those functions involve component soldering/de-soldering on the PCB and firmware flashing.
This is not big issue as there's no warranty to void. Creative won't support this card, neither will Dell unless it was shipped as part of/upgrade of one of their systems.
But if you don't have the relevant skills and tools, unless you want to start hard-modding as a hobby, is just not worth it.
BTW, in my case the total cost was $9.00 deli'vered, so... what can I say? :P
Edit: I just saw in your screenshot the shortcut to "Owner's Manual" so I guess yours is a Dell system. Forget about hard-modding if you don't want to void your warranty big time.
And don't bother downloading the retail CD either. Save the bandwith for something else. There's a hack to install the applications of the retail CD on OEM cards, but it will make no difference whatsoever. It won't enable any extra functions on the card.
You can pick up the phone and complain to Dell if they didn't tell you about this "little" issue though. I have never bought a Dell desktop, so I can't really tell if they warn the customers about the card being OEM and limited in functionalities or not.Message Edited by MrToad on 08-23-2006 05:32 PM

Best EAX Effects with SB Audigy 2 ZS and Headset?

Best EAX Effects with SB Audigy 2 ZS and Headset?Hi,
I have reinstalled Windows XP SP3 lately and installed just the Audigy_SupportPack_3_8 as driver for my Audigy2 ZS. I have a Sennheiser PC50 headset.
Now I can't get EAX to work.
The EAX setting in game is enabled and it sounds different than without it but I can only distinguish left from right but not top from bottom and front from rear.
Am I lacking any driver component?
How do I setup the audio device in Windows? Headphones or 4 speakers?
Do I need CMSS 3D? CMSS or CMSS2? Even if the game supports EAX?
What about optimize 3D-Effects for headsets? I use a headset, so I should enable it's
And also I can't find the suround mixer, is this not included in this support pack?
I mean this one:
Best Regards
sanni

Re: SB Audigy 2 ZS and Windows 7 - Full Package driver?T While Creative has written new drivers and some applications for Windows 7/Vista for the Audigy, they have not re-written or updated all of the original applications on the CD. This card is very old now. What Daniel K. did was take all of the applications or most of them, and tweaked them to properly install and include themselves in the registry on operating systems other than Windows XP. For the full and most recent package, check here:
http://forums.creative.com/t5/Sound-...009/td-p/53838
If the application you want is not included in his package, then you can try downloading the official Creative version and install it on your system in "compatibility mode" by right clicking the file, and choosing properties, and then the compatibility tab and choosing "Windows XP service pack 2 or 3" and it may or may not function.

How to perform simultaneous multitrack recording with an Audigy 4 P

Dear Sir/Madam,
We are comming from the Uni'versity of Maribor, Slovenia. We recently buyed an Audigy 4 Pro Sound Blaster for our studio recording purposes. Here is the description of the problem:
We would like to record the speech database which will be used later to perform text to speech sinthesis (sampling rate of 96kHz, 24-bit resolution). Therefore, we need to SIMULTANEOUSLY record the stereo signals from 2 microphones located at different distances. That is, for each microphone we would have two channels which resulted in a requirement of recording 4 channels symultaneously!!!
We succeded to record the signals from either first or second microphone separately, but we couldn't record the stereo signals from the both microphones simultaneously!!! Namely, in the Creative mixer there is possible to select ONLY one recording input in a time. But we need to record the signal simultaneously from two inputs.
Our question are:
. How can we perform simultaneous, multitrack recording with an Audigy 4 Pro using two stereo inputs (e.g. from Line In and Line In 2 inputs)?
2. Which -from Creative recommended- recording software supports this multritrack recording? Namely, the recordings from the two microphones should be aligned in time as much as possible.
Thank you very much for your help!
Altair

Hi
You need recording software (Cubasis (not sure), Cubase, Sonar, etc.) which supports
ASIO drivers and a 'multichannel' microphone pre-amp/mixer to get microphone(s) connected
'separately' into Audigy Input's.
ASIO driver gives more 'Input sources' to choose from compared to WDM's one stereo/2 mono
channel capability.

Crackling Sounds with X-FI Extreme Mu

I got a wierd problem.
I got my new X-FI extreme music soundcard and i installed the cd drivers as usual.
I rebooted and everything sounded fine. The next day i turned my computer on, i can heard
a crackling / skipping sound. I do a software reboot (restart windows). And when
I have rebooted, the problem is gone. This distortion/skipping only appears when i
start the computer for the first time, i HAVE to reboot to get rid of the problem.
But if I do a hard reboot (power switch) the problem is still there. Very wierd?I have tried uninstalling, reformating..tried all kinds of drivers. Nothing helps!
Motherboard : Asus A8V
Atlhon 64 3000+

I have the EXACT same problem with my Audigy 2zs!! I also have an Asus A8V motherboard. I have to do the EXACT same thing to get rid of the crackling sounds!! I've also posted on the forums regarding this issue

But it appears no one has any solution, especially Creative, Asus, and VIA!!!

Sound Blaster 2 Audigy

Hello, I had to reformat my computer, and I am on the stage to install the sound blaster 2 audigy.
As I put in the CD, the installation wizard pop up, everything goes fine untill I click Install:
"Please insert the CD-ROM labeled Sound blaster audigy 2"
The CD-ROM is already inside, and I suppose this problem may come of scratches or so on the CD.
Is it anywhere I can download the CD img file which I can mount in for example Daemon tools?
Thanks

Loghar,
Unzip the downloaded file with Winrar. Burn the unzipped iso file to a CD as a disk image. This process will produce a copy of a Creative installation CD. Install from that.

Weird problem With my Audigy 4

Hi all, I have a weird problem with my audigy 4. When I install the Nvidia IDE and Sata driver for my motherboard, I get sound problem in BF2, It glitches, I don't here my gun, well it's all ****ed up. Does anyone know why?Thanks in advance.

I have had every iphone model ever made. I have never had a problem like this before. It appears that there are small spots all over the screen. Not to be confused with the "yellow spots" other iphone 4 user have been reporting due to the glue not drying before they reached the customer. This is a different type of spot. I would compare it to a petrie dish that scientist test for things in.
The only thing I can think of is something is happening with the coating over the glass (oleophobic coating maybe braking down?). It only happened on the front screen and not the back glass. You can get the spots to go away when you use a micro fiber cloth to remove the natural oil from your face against the phone. The minute you start using the phone again, they appear. They are kinda annoying and make your phone screen look dirty and have a weird glare in it when your in the sun.
I made an appointment tomorrow to go to the apple store to see what they can tell me. Hope fully its nothing major. The worst thing that could happen is the phone gets replaces by another. Ill keep everyone update.
