No surround mixer!!! soundblaster audig

Hello everyone,?I'm from Holland and i have a problem with surround mixer. I have a Creative soundblaster Audigy 2 with no install cd's. I have downloaded the newest drivers and my sound works. The onlything i can not use is the surround mixer. There is the mixer off windows but there i can not change the front, rear and center speakers. The EAX console i can use. I looked offcourse for solution and there is one. See http://www.tymes.net/swenum/fix-swenum0.htm. The problem is that i must install the Plug and Play Software Device Enumerator. The thing is, i dont know what Enumerator is or do. Can somebody try to explane this or translate this. I think this is the problem. What i have to know is the dutch for "Plug and Play Software Device Enumerator"?Can somebody help me please?Greatings,?Fred

Just select custom install and only install the apps you want, and make sure to uncheck the driver.

How do I get my old Surround Mixer recording sources back?

I recently had my computer repaired where I basically had a complete overhaul. In the process they installed a second soundcard (the one that went with the new motherboard) alongside my original Creative Sound Blaster Audigy card (Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum eX). Before, when I would record audio into my computer, I opened the Surround Mixer software and in the record pulldown menu it showed all of the inputs as they relate to my Audigy interface (SPDIF, Aux In 2, Line In 2, etc.). Now when I open the Surround Mixer software, I only get generic options such as Analog Mix, CD Digital, Microphone, etc. and therefore I can't get any outside audio into my computer.
I figured the computer?was defaulting to the?new sound card so I disabled the onboard audio in my BIOS and then installed the Creative Sound Blaster Series 2 Driver. I clicked on the driver and it said that it needed to uninstall another driver that was already there. The install went a little funny and it got hung up a couple of times. Then, I couldn't get Surround Mixer to work at all so I went to the Creative website and installed Software Auto Update. I downloaded and installed all the critical components?but that also went a little funny. It took about three tries and it didn't seem like it actually finished installing, but when I checked on Auto Update again, it said that I was up to date and that everything had installed. I noticed at the beginning that it installed a new version of Surround Mixer but when I opened it later, it still had those same generic options, not the the ones that match my external interface.
What do I need to do to get my original settings back?

>Re: How do I get my old Surround Mixer recording sources back?p audiodrome,
Is the external Audigy Dri've properly connected? Does the Plat Ex have the rear jacks? If so, can you record from the rear LineIn or mic jack and play sound files through headphones or speakers? What happens when you run the Creative Diagnostic? What does Device Manager show? Otherwise, yes, uninstall and reinstall the Creative software. If your install CD has a repair option, try that first. However, you may find you need to remove the Audigy from your PC, reboot without it, and then reinstall everything. Some Soundblaster cards don't play well with some integrated soundcards, so you may also want to disable the integrated soundcard in BIOS.

Audigy 2 ZS and Surround Mixer in Windows 7

+?
Ok, I just installed Windows 7 Enterprise on a new HP XW 4600 workstation (NL, Dutch). This is a clean install. I have a Audigy 2 ZS (SB0350) and I dont have the surround mixer. Here is what I did:
?Install Windows 7 Enterprise and take all the pathes from Microsoft.
2.
?Intall the Audigy 2 ZS soundblaster? card in the computer
3.
?After the boot up I ingnore the message ?found new hardware?
4.
?I go to the Creative website and download the following programs
SBAX_PCDRV_LB_2_8_00 and WAVESTD_PCAPP_LB_7_2_00? which are recommended for my sound card.
5.
?I cant find the surround mixer, it is even not installed
6.
?I try the ?webupdate? there are some updates and I install them all
7.
?Again no Surround Mixer.
Can someone explain what I do or did wrong ?
I realy need the Surround Mixer !!

/Re: Audigy 2 ZS and Surround Mixer in Windows 7? i got problem with recording any sound. Recorded sounds are terrible. Sometimes playing sounds are terrible too. i should restart pc for fix playing terrible sound.
i found 2 third-party driver but i didnt tried. Because of decription of 3rd-party driver ;
There is no DirectSound hardware acceleration on Windows XP 64-bit (x64)
The Audigy driver does not support 64-bit addressing, disabling the DirectSound hardware acceleration and causing multichannel sound to be played only in the stereo channels (front left/right).
Workarounds:
- install the 32-bit (x86) version of Windows XP.
- limit to less than 4GB the amount of RAM available to Windows.
- enable the ?Memory Hole? setting in the BIOS Setup, if your motherboard supports it.
Microphone issues on Windows 7/Vista 64-bit (x64) with 4GB?of RAM or more
Audigy driver does not support 64-bit addressing, resulting in random issues with the Microphone (static, robotic or distorted voice, white noise).
Workarounds:
- install the 32-bit (x86) version of Windows
- limit the RAM available to Windows to less than 4GB
- enable Memore Hole in BIOS Setup, if?your motherboard supports the setting

SB Live Value - Where can I get the Surround Mixe

I just reinstalled my Windows and am trying to find a way to install the Surround Mixer for the SB. I can't find the original CD, and have been looking online for a couple of days already. The software used to be available in the Creative site, I think I downloaded it from there (here) the last time.. It should be available, right?

Can't run Surround Mix

Yesterday i updated SB Audigy drivers to version 6.0..36 through creative automatic updates and installed the patches for surround mixer, audioHQ and creative recorder.
Everything work fine except for surround mixer which doesn't want start.
I've italian version so the english tranlsation should be similar to this:
"An error occurred during the initialization of one of the mixer modules. Mixer will be closed."
Is there a solution to make Surround Mixer working again, or it is a well known problem?
Thanks

Good afternoon. I see that this thread hasn't got a response, but yesterday I updated drivers for my Soundblaster Audigy Platinum and encountered this same problem.
The surround mixer has stopped working and I get this error message:
"An error has occured while initializing one of the mixer engine. Mixer will now exit."
(The poor grammar is part of the error message, not my own.)
This prohibits me from controlling the volumes of the various inputs to the Audigy, and most importantly, from adjusting the individual input properties in the custom environments.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Surround Mixer miss

This is so insane. I have a Soundblaster Audigy 2 Platinum EX and I just reinstalled windows ... now I need Surround Mixer so that I can control it. Surround Mixer isn't part of the downloaded install files and Creative's site is so unbelievably crappy that I can't find it anywhere. The fact that it's not part of the install files is unbelievably crappy too. I paid $200 for this?
Does anyone know how I can download Surround Mixer back onto my computer? Thanks so much.

you can use the cd here

No longer able to select speaker type in Surround Mixer (Audigy Platinum Win XP P

Hi, all. I have an Audigy Platinum. Normally I have no issues using my 5. speakers with this card; however, today I noticed my sound was "tinny" and the reason is that the surround mixer is locked on Headphones. I cannot click the arrow to change it to 5. surround or anything else for that matter. I've gone into Control Panel and unchecked the mute other speakers when headphones are plugged in option, but that hasn't seemed to help. Any other ideas?Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply. That did the trick.

Live!Surround speaker setting not showing in surround mixer for SB Live Platinum

the Li've!Surround option for speaker settings in not showing in my Surround Mixer
i have:
Windows 2000 sp4
SB Li've! Platinum 5.
ASUS CUSL2
Sound Blaster Li've! - Li'veDrvUni-Pack (English) SBLW-XPWEB-W4-US 28-Feb-03
Installed the speaker preset for li've!surround but the only headphone, 2 speaker, 4 speaker, and 5. speaker shows up on speaker configuration of the Surround Mixer
i've played the AC3 files on the cdrom and Dolby pro logic surround, I get sound from all fi've speakers on my Denon D-850 w/ Dolby surround pro-logic
I can't use the surround mixer to test all the speakers, only front left and right speakers work on the test, i have to open to wav files directly to test the center speaker, the rear speaker test doesn't work from the wav file
My Denon system only has analog stereo inputs, so this is my only option for letting Sound Blaster know I have 5 speakers.
I've uninstalled all SB Li've software and drivers from the unipack, and reinstalled the orignal drivers and apps from the CD-ROM SBP5-CDSD-W-US MID : 32680 5-Sep-2000 and the Li've!Surround speaker setting reappears in the Surround Mixer.
Is the Li've!Surround setting no longer available in the new Surround Mixer in Li'veDrvUni-Pack (English) SBLW-XPWEB-W4-US 28-Feb-03 ?

so I found this post...
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...7?dmode=source
it seems Li've Surround is no longer supported in the new drivers
....so what would be the best setting to play ac3 files or DVD's through my receiver with only 2 analog inputs (left and right) available w/ Dolby surround prologic. Should I set it to 2 speaker or 4 speaker setting in the Surround Mixer in order to send the best signal to the prologic decoder on my receiver with 5 speakers (2 front, center, 2 rear)

Surround Mix with Logitech Z-5500 Digital

Hello,
I have a project for a 3D animation short movie, and I'll also make the score and sound effect for it, to make a DVD.
I don't have Logic Pro yet; I have Logic Express.
Is it possible to use a Logitech Z-5500 Digital set to do the surround mix with Logic Pro ? Using the optical digital out ?
I have a very limited budget, so I'm looking for the cheapest solution possible, with the best possible sound.
I'm waiting for a Mac Pro 2.66 with an ATI graphic cards (for Motion and 3D).
Thanks.

can't you pick the surround soundtrack in the control bar that is displayed close to the bottom of the movie window when you start one in iTunes? If theres no surround track, it cannot be done, furthermore, the speakers must be run from a surround home theatre receiver. Messing around with it on one of my desktops, I can choose the surround channel, but since it only has 2 built in speakers, I obviously won't get 5.1 (L/R front, center, L/R rear, and subwoofer). I agree iTunes should have preference that surround is automatically decoded when a surround track is available much like it's a preference in DVD player. I still haven't figured that one out.

Surround Mixer for Audigy and Windows 7?

Hello,
I've just installed Windows 7 and I see that the old XP Surround Mixer is no longer working.
I know that?Windows has a sound?mixer, but it is?really annoying and incomplete.
Is there a functional Creative Surround Mixer that I can use with Windows 7?

I would like answers to your question also. Since re-installing, & losing surround mixer, I have sacrificed?most functions with regards to 5./7. sound. As you say, Window's own software is sub-standard when using the card. I love the Audigy2 ZS Platinum and want to get it up and running to its full glorious potential.
?PLEASE PLEASE CREATIVE?PROVIDE US WINDOWS 7 USERS WITH A NEW UPDATED?VERSION OR A VIABLE ALTERNATIVE.
Yours in anticipation
Dave

Surround Mixing - Can't enable 7.1

I am playing with surround mixing for the first time. When I select 'Surround' as the output of my channel the 'Sound Panner' appears and allows me to write surround automation to my track.
It defaults to a 5.1 panner, but when I go into 'Preferences/Audio/Surround/Input' and select 'Show as: 7.1 (3/4.1)' as that what I'm interested in mixing in the 'Sound Panner' still appears as a 5.1 version in the channel strip...
Even if I assign surround to a new channel. Or start a new session with these defaults I can't get the 'Sound Panner' to appear as 7.1.
Any thoughts as to why..?
Many Thanks,
Ped.

Sound Audigy 2.....Microphone option is not showing up in Surround Mixer!!!!

I just updated the Sound Card Driver and when I finished with it and restarted my computer. It reset all my settings in Surround Mixer. I got them back to where i had them but not I can't get my microphone option back. I can only get What U Hear. The drop down menu is missing the microphone option. How can I restore this?
What started this all was from getting a new Logitech G5 keyboard. My sound was all crackling and some things was repeating itself while playing World of Warcraft. So i was told to update the driver, which didn't help but now my Surround Mixer is giving me heck.

Vista? Control Panel -> Sound -> Recording (tab) and make sure only ! device is set as the default, this should resoter your ability to choose the mic in the audio [email protected]

SB Surround Mixer Volume Bind Keys/Quick K

Howdy,
I was wondering if anyone knows if it's possible (either with an external program or not) to assign quick keys or bind keys to functions within the Surround Mixer for my Audigy 2 Platinum.
For example, I have a Logitech keyboard with a scroll wheel on the side and I within the Logitech software it is possible to assign it to control the master volume, but for my purposes I would like it (or even some regular keys on the keyboard) to control the gain slider for the the Auxiliary 2 Input. This would be helpful to me, so I can mix the volume of my audio coming in via RCA into Aux 2 on the fly, while Im in a fullscreen application that is also running audio that doesn't take kindly to being alt tabbed - which makes it difficult to open the Surround Mixer Window every time I want to change something.
Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks.

I have no idea what to do for that.
From [ibm-acpi-devel] ThinkVantage key on ThinkPad X61
Is the mask value for this key 0x00000080 or 0x00001018?
Neither. In the documentation, you'll see a table with an entry for
each key. The table shows the "ACPI event" code (0x1018 in your]
example) and the "scan code" (0x17 corresponds to that event).
The documentation mentioned above is the README of the ibm-acpi,
where you hav ACPI events and scan codes explained. But, that's low-level thingy.
To configure the ThinkVantage button, simply follow instructions from the How to get special keys to work. For example, Open an application
where you can find out keycode with xev and map desired action with xmodmap.
(On my T400, under X11 the ThinkVantage button generates event with keycode 156. You need to check yours using xev.)

Check the ThinkWiki article above, there are audio buttons explained too.

No surround mixer support for Audigy 4

I have spent about 3 hours trying to find ways to get surrond mixer to work, and i dont have the cd. It looks like creative didnt even put any support on their downloads for managing speaker channels. Which makes the card useless for people who want SURROUND SOUND! Am I the only person have problems, i check all the downloads and there is no surround mixer to my knowledge, why is this so?
