I Have had a problem for ages. I have the Audigy 2 ZS Platinum and Inspire 5. digital 5500.
I have copied the advice I received/didnt recieve from creative.
Best of luck
Dear Martin
Thanks for your reply
I am sorry for the problem you are facing.
To achieve outputs from all the speaker during speaker test, you will need to have an analog connection, or digital DIN connection.
That will be possible if you connect the three line out jacks on your soundcard, to the three audio input (analog jacks->green,black,orange) on your speaker, if it has this connection. Or, you may connect them using Digital DIN, if they have this connection.
If you are using digital connection (coaxial, optical), there will be no way to achieve sound output from all the speakers during 5. speaker test, as they carry stereo signal.

Hi
I understand you must be busy, so no problem.
No I do not hear EAX when in Pro-logic mode. I only hear (depending on the game in question)
Half life two: front left-right and centre. NO rears
Fear: Front, left, right, & centre. No rears
Farcry Front left, right & centre. No Rears
When I run your speaker test HISSSSS, No Rears, no front left or right
Beats me?

Dear Martin
I apologize for the delay on the answer.
If you select Dolby Prologic mode on the decoder, are you able to listen
the game audio, with EAX, in all of the speakers?
Regarding to the optional bay dri've, you can purchase it from ou

Hello
Your email was helpful, unfortunately, not for my unit, you see I would
have
connected the Jack leads in by now if the inspire had Jack lead inputs
as
you describe
Please don't think I am being sarcastic, but from reading the
correspondence
below it would seem as if your department is having difficulty
understanding
my problem.
Also it would seem your department doesn't have the necessary technical
information on your very own product, so to help with your dilemma I
have
taken photos of the input/outputs on the Inspire unit.
You will clearly see the inspire has no inputs other than Coaxial and
Optic.
This leaves me back to my last post. I think the solution would be for
me to
purchase the correct processor, which would have come with the original
sound card had I not been a little tight on the money front.
I have attached a photo of the sound card with the processor, I would
love
to buy this processor but find myself unable to locate this product on
your
web site. Would you possibly be able to send me the correct link to this
item so I can buy this Processor Please?
Kind regards
Martin

Your soundcard is Audigy 2 ZS
Your speaker is Creative Inspire 5. Digital 5500
You will need to have a 3:3 cable(with the color green, black, orange)
to connect your soundcard to your speaker, to achieve the 5. effects
with games.
Below is the connection:
- Connect line out jack of Audigy 2 ZS
to 'Front' of Creative Inspire 5. Digital 5500 using the green color
connection
- Connect line out 2 jack of Audigy 2 ZS
to 'Rear' of Creative Inspire 5. Digital 5500 using the black color
connection
- Connect line out 3 jack of Audigy 2 ZS
to 'Center/Subwoofer' of Creative Inspire 5. Digital 5500 using the
orange color connection
Once you have done the correct connection, play the game DOOM3.
Ensure you have selected either the EAX or surround option in the game
settings.
Does it work?

You have lost me. Your sound card clearly states that I can have EAX
surround decoding from the sound card I have purchased.
All of the games on your web site claim to give me an environmental
effect
that will blow my mind, hence EAX.
All I have done wrong is NOT buying your decoder that comes with the
sound
card. My mistake.
All I want to do is re-address this issue and buy the correct
decoder/processor.
Can you point me to the correct link on your web site so I can buy the
correct decoder/processor?
As for the PCM out of the above cables, this foxes me as my other
equipment
only use Optical cabling on my Lexicon processor and from that I have DD
7., DTS 7. and meridian 5. lossless.
My issue is more to do with NO EAX from the rear and centre channels
while
in-game.
Kind regards

Dear Martin
Thanks for your reply
All commercial digital connection eg. optical or coaxial cable will only
carry PCM stereo signal. If you want to output the signal to a surround
5. with extra EAX environment effects, it will not be possible at all
since it is only restricted to stereo channel signal.
As per current industry limitations, we are bound to follow the standard
one-signal output for all our SPDIF and Optical output jacks. This is
something that is currently shared by all vendors for all products.
Please note that all games are not dolby digital, even they are , it
will require certain motherboard to encode it to dolby digital signal,
which our soundcard does not support.
You can only use analog connections to gain true 5. surround for
gaming..

Hi Joong
I don't fully understand your email, but I do get the gist of what
you're
saying and understand I need to connect the analogue cable to fully
appreciate the sound in EAX.
Would you be able to tell me what product I could buy from your
catalogue
which would marry up with the sound card I have, as I understand now
that
the Inspire 5. will not do the job.

Dear Martin
Thank you for the reply.
Computer games written with support for 3D audio do not require a Dolby
Digital Interacti've Content Encoder (DICE) to output multichannel sound,
with no exceptions. Sound devices that support the real time encoder
technology from Dolby will simply receive the multichannel wave file
output and encode it in real time to a somewhat modified Dolby Digital
bitstream. Creative does not support the Dolby Digital Interacti've
Content Encoder on any of its sound cards.
The only difference between a Sound Blaster card and an audio card that
has a real time encoder, is that you can make a one-wire, digital
connection from your audio card to your home theater receiver and enjoy
discrete multichannel sound from the game. However there will be a
continuous, slight delay, known as "latency", as the encoder is creating
and transmitting the bitstream, and of course the compression scheme
being used is "lossy" (i.e. not bit-accurate).
If you want to enjoy 3D audio in 3D enabled PC games in multichannel
surround sound with a Sound Blaster card, it is recommended that you
connect the analog outputs of the sound card directly to the analog
inputs of the receiver. This will require 3 cables for 5. surround
sound, one for front right and left, one for rear left and right, and
another one for front center and subwoofer. Though it requires more
cables than a real time encoder system, it will not have any latency
issues. When connecting PC audio to a home theater receiver, Creative's
latest sound cards such as Sound Blaster Audigy, Sound Blaster Audigy 2
are likely to provide higher quality audio than any Dolby Digital real
time encode system available for the PC today.

Hi
One particular game which has "in-game" DD is Farcry; I used this as my
benchmark disc for DD and to push my Nvidia 7800 GTX GPU's (I have tried
it
on friend's machines and they get the full surround effect so I Know
this
version is ok. I also have ALL of the game patches & updates.
I would like to point out that while playing Doom 3, Half Life 2,Fear,
Colin
McRae rally 04,FIFA 2004,Meddle of honour pacific assault, Rome, Shadow
ops, All these games have EAX HD, which is enabled within the options
menu
"in-game", But I do not get ANY use out of the rear's and I might as
well
listen in stereo.
No, inspire 5500 does not automatically switch while "in-game" when DD
is present as you would expect, but does if it was a Movie, which makes
me
think the DD stream isn't getting to the processor.
I originally thought I could put all this to rest if I could buy the
control
panel that would have come with the Sound card if I had not tried to
save
money, but every time I search your accessories site I get completely
lost,
it really isn't user friendly, the sub-menus are very time consuming and
point you in the wrong direction because they are not categorised as Joe
public would understand
I downloaded your TEST Movies and creative demo player utility, ran it
but
still no EAX HD or DD if that were present.
I want to put this card and Processor into my boys computer (which is
the
same Spec as mine and I will update to the FX series, but I am unwilling
if
I cannot find a logical reason why this set-up cannot work first.
Would it have anything to do with the pins on the Digital out on the
sound
card plug, the one I bought and was attached to the last email? Only
sending
certain channels down to the processor?

Your speakers are fine as you mentioned that there is sound from all the
speakers when you are playing movie.
May i know what game are you playing when there are no sound from the
rear speakers?
Have you done the appropriate settings in the game to achieve the 5.

Is there any game patches that you will need to update?

work correctly)
when I enter the set-up menu within the creative
software you supply with the sound card and select
5. speaker, digital only, test the speakers via
the white noise function, all i hear is left and
right noise. no centre, no rears.
I phoned you tech support line, the boy on the
phone didn't have much of a clue about your
product and I had to tell him what connections sit
on the inspire 5. series amp/processor.
I want to build another PC for my son, I want to

Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro- Breakout Box/ AD_LINK Cable Broke

I purchased an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro from Creative's eBay store this past January. It was described as refurbished with a -year warranty. It worked fine for several months under both Windows XP 64-bit and Linux (amd64 arch). Then, the breakout box just stopped working. At first I thought it was a driver issue, so I tried reinstalling everything- no luck. Then I realized that not even the power light came on on the box. I tried putting the card in another PCI slot, rearranging cables.
I contacted Creative several months ago and after several email arguments and hour-long phone calls, I gave up. They insisted that they only offer 90-day warranties for their ebay auctions... Being so much later, the ebay auction link was dead- no way for me to prove anything. Creative's best offer was to RMA it for $0+shipping or something ridiculous like that.
I don't want to buy a whole new card because I now it works to some extent- it shows up under 'lspci' in Linux and in Windows Device manager. I suspect it is either the cable or the breakout box but I really have no idea.
Any way I could test this- and even if, how can I purchase just the box or the cable by themselves- I couldn't find anything online.
Any ideas?Message Edited by phoneloserchi on 2-22-20072:28 PM

No, I'm afraid it is not, the X-Fi does not have the same connector for that breakout box.

Audigy 2ZS Platinum Pro - breakout box not work

I have an an external external breakoput box which was working fine in my old computer. I upgraded the mother board and cpu and installed the Audigy as before. The actual card works but the break out box doesn't light up. If I plug the external box firewire cable in to another firewire port on the computer the power LED lights but that's all. Any ideas anyone?

I am sorry to bump this topic but it is the same as my question and does not seem to have been answered.
I have a Audigy 2ZS Platinum Pro - my old one which I decided to use in lieu of the on-board sound. I installed the latest drivers I could find SBAX_PCDRV_LB_2_18_0017.exe (after unistalling the existing ones)
The card itself works fine but the external interface box is as dead as a doornail. The power for the interface is supposed to come from the two connectors.
No lights no nothing - obviously I have checked the leads and the seating of the card itself. Playback is fine on MP3, midi, wave files etc. I have disabled the on-board sound in the BIOS of course.
Unfortunately the jacks on the back of the card are 1/8 in. outputs only and the external interface provides the inputs which I need for recording etc. They are 1/4in proper ones - guitar lead size which are much better.
I know it is an old card but I like it. The last time I used in in my old computer it was fine. Card/drivers show up in the device manager. I have installed this both on a Win 7 partition and a Win XP partition on my 2 HDDs with the same result. :mansad:
<font color="#0000FF">Any ideas appreciated! Is there something I am doing wrong? Thanks.

Audigy 2 ZS Platinum - Can't get breakout box to w

Hi, I bought an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum from a friend, and he had lost the driver CD. I connected it and used the drivers I got off Creative's website, and the card works perfectly, but I can't get the breakout box to work. I connected it internally to the card, I don't know what else is left to do. Are the drivers the problem, do I need a specific app to make it work, or is it maybe a connection problem?

Hey!?Big Problem... my break-out-box doesn't work any more, too.... but it is powered on!?There is no possibility to use the mute function, IR-control, CMSS-Control or to do anything else with it... simply dead, although it is powered on. LED is green and at the optical out i have a red one shining. I tried cleansweap and reinstall drivers, nothing changed the situation. Cable are correctly connected, i didn't change the last years. I'm also missing the extended connection possibilitys in my "sound and speakers" options... formerly there where a lot more, now there are only?fi've or six controller bars.WHAT HAS HAPPEND? Is it normal that there are three steps with the CMSS options like: CMSS, CMSS2 and STEREO SOUND? I remember that formerly there was also CMSS3... correct? Maybe this is another wrong thing... Any hints regarding this box and controller problem?Thanks a lot in advance,Alabaster

I built a new PC for use as a DAW, everything works great, it's fast and silent. Everything but the sound card, an Audigy 2 Zs Platinum. My problems is with the "Platinum" daughter card, actually a breakout box. I have somehow lost the power adapter, a four pin, Red, Black, Black, Yellow connector. It probably left with an old power supply, it's been stored for a while.
I have another four pin connector that fits, but it is not keyed for my card. I can shave the keys off, and it will fit but I don't know which pin is the red, and which is yellow. If anyone has one of these, I would appreciate hearing the pin order. Is red inboard or outboard? This is how mine looks:

Audigy 2 ZS Breakout Box stopped work

Hardware:: Audigy 2 ZS (Internal Breakout Box)Im not sure what has happened, I had my power supply fail over the weekend and now my breakbox wont work, everything is hooked up correctly, Ive triple checked everything. I have read thru many other threads where people have had the same problem and have tried what everyone has suggested still not works. I have the proper drivers, volume is up, its getting power, I can see the optical out glowing red, Ive tried 2 different sets of speakers and headphones, still nothing. Everything works fine from the card its self. I even have a second card here that I tried using, still nothing. Could my power supply have damaged it's
----EDIT----
Ok, so 22 views now and no reply? whats going on? This is a great product but the support is total **bleep**! Not to mention all you poor people on vista, wow, I thought you guys were like the best of the best? A simple yes or no would suffice so i know if I need to buy a new one.Message Edited by CademiaX on 05-07-200706:28 PM

Try swapping with another power connector for the I/O dri've bay. Some other users in the forum mention before that swapping with another power connector for the I/O dri've help fix some problem they encounter.

Audigy 4 Breakout Box/Firewire Prob

Hi. Just purchased a new computer within the last month with a SB Audigy 4 Pro. I couldn't get the breakout box to respond after repeated attempts, so I assumed it was faulty hardware and had a replacement shipped. The replacement came and I am having teh same problem with it, no breakout box response. I tried plugging the firewire power supply for the breakout box into a free firewire port from teh motherboard, and got the power LED to light up, so assumedly the hardware/cable/PCI card are all working and it was a driver error. After I got the LED light, I went ahead and wiped the Audigy drivers, and reinstalled. After a reinstall, the breakout box powered on in both the motherboard, and Audigy firewire ports. It worked with limited functionality (Headphone/microphone jacks were not working) for about an hour as I toyed with settings to attempt to get those imput output jacks to respond, and after a certain settings change, the soundblaster software required a restart. Since that restart I am back to square with no functionality in the Audigy firewire port and a power LED light in the motherboard port. Is there somewhere I can download an updated firewire driver for the SB, and if I can get the box to work again, what could be causing the unresponsi've I/O ports on the front?

Alright some success again. After a little playing with the adlink cable and a couple restarts, I have the breakout box working again. TThe power and CMSS lights are on and the volume control knob works. I am still unable to hear any sound out of headphones, or to get any input from the mic port. I have tried 2 sets of heaadphones, and a second converter for the plug with no success. The sound is muted from the speakers when I insert a headphone into the jack, so the system is recognizing headphones as present, I just don't get any sound. Any suggestions?

Audigy 1 Platinum box compatible with X-

I've never seen this question asked so apologies if this has already been covered. I have an Audigy Platinum and now want to upgrade to X-Fi.
Is it possible to go for the XtremeMusic X-Fi and use my existing breakout box or have the interfaces / connections all changed now - the Fataty internal box looks the same as the Platinum's external box which is why I'm asking.
Thanks for any help received.

Ok thanks I'd thought as much as I ordered up an Elite Pro Yesterday.
Any further timescales for deli'very for the drivers - I'm aware of the fact that there is a workaround but I'd much rather get the proper drivers.
Thanks.

Midi ports line in ports Fire Wire etc on the Audigy 2 platinum, new Creative Driver for Vis

Hi, I have been using my Audigy 2 platinum dri've for a few years now and have been very pleased with it, the main things I do on my pc is music creation mainly Midi but also some analogue audio as well, I also do lots of video making. I am just about to build a new system with Vista ultimate as the platform, I currently use XP Pro. I have little use for Creative?s own software and personally I do not think it is that good, I know Creative have released a new driver for my sound card But, my question is will my Midi port connections and things like my line in and the auxiliary ports and the fire wire port on the front platinum panel work with this new driver, and without the Creative software installed on my pc, and as we all no by now it looks like we will not be seeing any at all, or not for ages yet. you see I am a wheelchair user and I can not readily fiddly about a the back of my pc that is why a bought the sound blaster so I can easily plug in and unplug what I like, can anyone give me some help or advice on this issue please. ??

Guess I wasn't clear enough. I have uninstalled the soundcard and reinstalled over a dozen times even going so far as making sure all the drivers that the device properties lists are really deleted from the system. I have resinstalled DirectX at least twice using the latest version from MS. The only thing I have not done with DirectX so far is installed the SDK version which I will be doing eventually anyway. I even uninstalled and then reinstalled my video card as it shared files with the sound card. As for getting the latest version of openAL I see little point in that as Windows forces openAL through DirectX anyway and none of my games use it. Nor does the device depend on it to work. Any other suggestions?

I have installed all of the drivers for the Audigy card and noticed when I am trying to record voice, I hear a substantial amount of background noise even in a completely silent room. I have included a link to a test mp3 and wav below where you can hear what the mic sounds like. I have the mic plugged into the back of the soundcard.
I have also attempted to move the microphone closer to my mouth, farther away, facing different positions, etc... Nothing really seems to work. It also sounds a bit quiet even with the volume turned all the way up.

New vs old Youview box picture

I am now in possession of a new and old youview box and have noticed that the new little box BT now supplies seems to deliver a less crystal clear picture than the older Humax branded youview box.
Anyone else notice this downgrade in service?

No. I have both the boxes and the new one produces pictures at least as good as the older box.

Connecting Audigy 2 Platinum I/O to new Audigy 2 ZS (urgent answers p

Hi everybody,I am currently using an Audigy 2 Platinum with fron panel. Because this card is 6. card and I have 7. Creative Speakers, I am going to buy Audigy 2 ZS (7.). But I don't want to purchase Audigy 2 ZS Platinum because I already I have front panel. So my question is; Can I use my Audigy 2 Platinum's I/O Front Panel with Audigy 2 ZS? Audigy 2 ZS has got AD_EXT Pins on its board but I wanted to ask you if it will work?And also does Audigy 2 ZX come with MediaSource 2 or ?Thanks a lot

Craigcharlie,
I am not sure exactly what the differences are, but my understanding is that some of the chips used may be different (and of course they are labeled differently). Functionally they are the same so there is no reason why you should have a problem with it.
The difference between the way the Audigy 2 and the original Audigy is quite a bit. This means that the dri've bays for the two are not compatible. Although connecting them shouldn't cause damage, they are not the same connection and there is always the possibility. Since the Audigy dri've won't work with the Audigy 2 or 2 ZS I would recommend not connecting them.

Steps/RisksConnecting BW with New ECC 6 while keeping old ECC5 box active

Hi Friends-
Right now we have current dataflow from ECC 5 to BW 7.0 for differnet countries .Now i have a situation where i have new ecc 6.0 box. and I need to move only one country functionality to new Ecc6 box and load data from new box to current BW box. So what are the pain ponts/Risks in doing this. My concern is all about master data, Can anyone suggest the best methodology to do this without effecting current dataflow or overwriting objects.
Regards,
Mark

Hello Mark,
Does your master data overlap and you can't easily make it unique from the individual source systems? If not you could compound with 0SOURCSYSTEM as described in the SAP note 184948.
