Petition for Creative to provide updated THX console for Audigy 2Z

Hi everyone
I do not wish to upset the apple cart here, but I felt something had to be posted on this very forum. Yesterday I installed an X-FI Fatalty FPS soundcard for a client, and might I add it is a very fine soundcard indeed. I noticed the software/driver CD contains an updated and unreleased version of the THX console found on the Audigy 2ZS/4 driver CD's.
Now I can understand you might think so, who cares if it's newer?
Well this all new THX console application has a bass profile tab where you can configure the level of your sub and the size (radius) of your speakers, but the real must have feature is this new THX console contains profiles for several Creative Brand Speakers. E.g. instead of just having generic 7. speakers you can chose to Gigaworks S750 or Inspire T7700 from the menu. In fact it includes speaker profiles for a lot of speakers.
Since the 2ZS/4 are already THX approved soundcards which include the THX console software application I think it is only fair Creative release an updated version of this application for us to, because it is far more useful than the one bundled on our CD's
Might I add I also like the new Entertainment Centre.
Please add your name to this list and if we generate enough attention, who knows maybe Cat will pass on to the software team our interests.
Remember we have just got the updated version of the DVD Audio Player, so almost anything is possible.

Hi <SPAN>johnston2
Thanks for offering to help. I copied the THX console off my clients driver CD onto my USB Pen, unfortunately it does not work with the Audigy 2 ZS, for some reason it does not install and I do not know how to get it to run
I would very much appreciate any help you are able to offer, but obviously for a kosher application for the Audigy 2 ZS/4/4 Pro by Creative would be awesome.

  • Creative THX Console sorfware for window

    Hello all.
    I am running a Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS and using Windows XP Pro 64. Can anybody tell me if I can get a version of the "Creative THX Console sorfware" for my OS?
    I Found the software really handy when I was running windows XP 32bit. could I use the software that came with my soundcard driver CD with my 64bit drivers.
    Thanks for reading my silly noobi question
    Oddsodz

    I don't know about the X-Fi, but Creative tech support told me that with the Audigy 2 ZS I should?completely uninstall all the software from the CD since it would not work correctly with the newest drivers. If the same situation applies to X-Fi cards, you might find that the THX console doesn't work correctly with the new drivers anyway.
    Creative told me that the new drivers were designed to put everything in the new "Creative Audio Console," which is a regular "windows like" panel that contains adjustments like EAX, effects, etc. They would not give me direct answers to some of my questions, but the idea appeared to be that they were moving away from the proprietary "Creative" versions of the adjustments, like the Creative Mixer and so forth.

  • X-Fi THX console for windows vista? (need low pass to subwoof

    Hi, back on XP the installation CD included a THX console that could be used to setup a LFE or subwoofer channel. Since I've "upgraded" to vista x64 I haven't been able to find a working version of this nor a workaround. I have a plugin for foobar which accomplishes this task; but, I'd like to take advantage of it while watching dvd's and gaming.
    Does anyone know where I can find a THX console for Vista x64 or any other way to do this uni'versally?
    Thanks,
    Rob
    ps: this is for the x-fi xtrememusic

    Let me try to explain it again. First you install the old windows xp. Go to the sound blaster install folder. Look for the THX console folder. Save it to a disc. Install windows vista. Put the saved folder back on your computer it can be anywhere. Install the vista driver and then you will be able to open the .exe file in the THX Console folder and it should work. It works for me. Hope it works for you.

  • Thx console for x-

    I need to redirect my bass singal ...
    i have been told that i can switch that on in the thx console ... but well ... I cannot download that app for my x-fi...
    is the thx console even available for the x-fi?
    ty in advance!
    Greetings
    Grim

    I am trying to find out where i can get this software for THX configuration. I bought an XFi Extreme Music card. However, the Driver/software CD was cracked when I opened the box. This didnt bother me too much as im on XP64 and it probably would have been of little use to me. Now I hear about this THX Config software, I would like to try it. Is there a version that supports XP64. Also where can I get the documents that explain the features of the Driver configuration utility for XP64. I did find one help file for the XFi, but its about the hardware not the software.
    Thanks for any help

    Let's face it. THe creative zen touch needs something to protect it. I found Creative's skin as protecti've but not truly portable. THe other one from vaja just costs too much. I think we should start a petition for iSkin to create a skin.
    Here's the website for everyone to petition them for the skin. We probably need around 0,000 e-mails like the iRi'ver owners had for their skin. Thanks for your support everyone.

    you just go to http://www.iskin.com/store/I2feedback.tpl and tell iSkin that you want them to make a case for the Zen Touch. Make sure you explain to them that they could stand to make alot of money.

  • Console Launcher/THX-Console do not recognise X-FI Titanium

    Hi,
    I bought a PCI-E SB X-FI Titanium yesterday. Unfortunatly I have got some major Problems.
    First no sound was played, but I managed to fix it. Then I tried to install the Creative Console Launcher & THX. No Chance.
    The Installation either won`t recognise that i have got the newest Media Player or it told me that no suitable soundcard is installed (tried different versions), although Windows recognises it as SB X-FI and sound works "fine".... Also my mic isnt working. After a whole day of searching and severals reinstallations of several driver versions I am now using the daniel k drivers .. Console Launcher and THX-Console are installed now, but if I try to start them, it tolds me that it hasnt recognized a suitable soundcard again....Mic also still isnt working, but sound is really fine. (I found a solution for the mic problem, but the console launcher is required...). Right now I'm really pi... off, and considering to send the card back and buy another one, but hopefully someone can help me, because the sound seems great to me.

    Thank you for your help in advance and sorry for my bad English.

    Here is a _repeat_ of a post I did awhile ago which may be useful to you for making Titanium work and I hope it is of some benefit to you:
    [color="#0000ff" size="2">Ok, good news. I was able to install the Titanium again on my Vista 32-bit home premium machine and the mic volume is loud and fine.
    [color="#0000ff" size="2">Because of the way that Vista works with hardware you must have at least one time previous to this procedure gone into Control Panel/Performance Information and Tools/and click on link called Update My Score and Vista will run a 2 min hardware test and adjust itself for your hardware.
    [color="#0000ff" size="2">Make sure your?microphone is plugged into the soundcard in the appropriate jack during this whole procedure (may or may not make?a difference).
    [color="#0000ff" size="2">) Went into BIOS and made sure the onboard audio thing was disabled.
    [color="#0000ff" size="2">I believe I also disabled the 394 port (may or may not matter).
    [color="#0000ff" size="2">2) Went into Device Mgr and removed 2 of the High Definition Audio Device things in Sound and Game Controllers section and removed 2 of the High Definition Audio Device things in the System Devices sections as well.
    [color="#0000ff" size="2">If you see the Soundblaster listed there too then right click it and uninstall it from there at this time.
    [color="#0000ff" size="2">3) I rebooted then checked Device Mgr and it had put the High Definition Audio Device things back. I did not disable them or uninstall them this time.
    [color="#0000ff" size="2">4) Using Windows Explorer I searched for and deleted any Soundblaster Drivers I could find from my system.
    [color="#0000ff" size="2">5) I cleared out all of the files in my Recycle Bin.
    [color="#0000ff" size="2">6) I went to www.soundblaster.com[color="#0000ff" size="2"> and downloaded the latest beta driver that ends with 2_7_0006.
    [color="#0000ff" size="2">7) I extracted the drivers to a new folder I created on my C dri've. I named the folder SBFix.
    [color="#0000ff" size="2">8) I made sure my antivirus program was all disabled and not protecting me.
    [color="#0000ff" size="2">9) I went into?SBFix folder and double-clicked the Setup Application.
    [color="#0000ff" size="2">0) It came to a menu that offered me the option to install the driver or uninstall all drivers. I selected the option to uninstall all drivers. It looked like it found some and was uninstalling them. If it asked to me to reboot I did so but I don't remember if it did or not.
    [color="#0000ff" size="2">) Next I found that Setup Application again and this time I told it to install the driver. I did not select the option to overwrite any files if it found them.
    [color="#0000ff" size="2">2) It installed them then wanted to reboot and I did and then I right-clicked the little speaker icon in the bottom right of my tray and click recording devices and I took a look and it looked like the soundblaster things were there. The Microphone FP and Line in were there but not the Microphone because one has to use the Creative Console Launcher to make the Microphone selection possible and I did not have that installed yet.
    [color="#0000ff" size="2">3) I went back to www.soundblaster.com[color="#0000ff" size="2"> and downloaded the appropriate Creative Console Launcher and ran it.
    [color="#0000ff" size="2">4) I rebooted then opened the Creative Console Launcher, went into the Settings button to make the selection for microphone.
    [color="#0000ff" size="2">5) I ran the Setup Microphone wizard thingy in Windows and I could see that the volume levels were high.
    [color="#0000ff" size="2">6) In the end there is no place you can do a checkbox for +20db boost however it is that loud anyway as if a +20db boost option had already been selected. After you've done the Setup Microphone test locate the mic volume slider and slide it all the way to the right again because the Setup Microphone test will have automatically moved the slider toward the left during the test.
    [color="#0000ff" size="2">My system has the ASUS Rampage II Extreme x58 chipset motherboard. Intel chipset.
    [color="#0000ff" size="2">Not an NVidia chipset motherboard. Somewhere I had seen somewhere on the Creative support pages that some motherboards only allow video cards to be in the PCI-e slots. I believe the NVidia chipset motherboards may be this type. This is the 2nd Intel chipset motherboard that I've been able to install the Titanium on and get proper loud mic volume. The other motherboard I got it to work fine on was an ASUS Maximus Extreme that had the x38 Express chipset.

  • Audigy WORKING with 5.1 AND software(EAX, THX console, bass redirection) Vista 32

    This has taken me a week of fiddling, but now on Vista Ultimate 32bit I have most things up and running...
    EAX effects and environments from the control panel work, THX console works, surround mixer, speaker settings work..Also I'm getting proper surround output =]
    This isn't a complete fix; EAX console and the EQ don't work, and also it only lets me set 6bit@96khz in the control panel, 24bit isn't there =[
    I'm using an Audigy 4...
    First, I installed creative official vista drivers. Then uninstalled the drivers but left audio console installed.
    Install Pax-Apps 2.32sp2 http://www.youp-pax.org/viewthread.php?tid=443&extra=page%3D
    Reboot...now my audigy was not working here but all the creative apps were installed. THe youp-pax drivers caused a BSOD after the reboot but after another reboot it went into windows just without the sound working.
    Run the Pax installer again, select remove drivers and remove them but leave the software, reboot.
    Install the official Creative windows XP drivers. This is the hard step, I had some problems and had to reboot and uninstall-reinstall about 0 times before I finally got it working...but now it works.
    Still, I want my 24bit and my EAX console =[

    I have this (well kinda) problem also. Sometimes my system (see below) will work fine, but then suddenly the channels will swap or the sub just won't give any bass.
    Have tried contacting both Creative and Microsoft support for some insight but nothing apart from the standard stuff so far. I guess its a vista/4Gb RAM issue. Looking forward to using WaveRt drivers in case they give a difference.

  • THX Console doesn't exi

    I have scoured the forums up and down, and I've seen similar problems, but none have been resolved satisfactorily.
    Simply put, I have an X-Fi and no THX Console. None. Nowhere.
    As a matter of fact, the only thing that got installed (along with the drivers) is the Audio Console. I have the original install CD, and I can see the THX Console on the CD, but can't install it directly. Anyone have the same problem? Know how to fix it's? I may end up just downloading a new installation disc ISO and hoping that gives me the option to install all the other apps that are on the CD.

    RyanJW wrote:
    None of the Vista drivers come with anything more than the basic audio console (the thing that looks like a generic Windows application) as far as I'm aware. What I had to do to get the THX console and everything else (the EQ adjuster was most important for me) by downloading the youpax drivers off BitTorrent.
    The youpax drivers as far as I'm aware basically the apps modified a bit so they work on Vista. I don't believe you can normally download it anywhere so a crash course in BitTorrent may be necessary (or so pro Googling).
    First of all you are assuming they are referring to Vista and not Xp. Also look at the date when this thread was started, March , 2006; doubtful the OP was talking about Vista (or ever came back here either). And as far as the apps for Vista did you miss this,?http://us.creative.com/products/prod...7&product=6743?which you can also find on most torrent sites. Not only that but you get ALL the apps, and not just the ones that youP managed to modify.

  • THX Console - Callibration does not remmebered setti

    Hello,
    i have creative audigy 2 and work very well, but THX Console -> Callibration does not rememmbered my setting and after reboot every time i must reconfigure it. How i fix this problem? I have lattest THX Console.
    Regards,
    John Smith

    Hi folks!
    Well, it's been a long time, since this thread was created! Unfortunately, I'm forced to re-open the topic once more - though, I don't think I'm getting any helpful replay anyway, or? ;-)
    First, Jeremy, AV may be the solution, but in most cases it isn't! In fact, you can pretty much mess around in the registry, without being bothered by any AV or FW alerts (eventually, Windows itself will refuse the change settings due to some access-restrictions) - I know it, believe me!
    Second, John, I do have the same problem with my Audigy 2 ZS (now for a pretty long time!). Creatives is well aware of the problem, but just did nothing (or almost) to change it. When I bought the card and installed the drivers, no THX-settings were saved at all. It was just because of bad drivers! Although Creative offered a patch soon afterwards, the problem was solved only partially.
    Because I don't think, Creative will improve the drivers anymore; I actually was hoping to find anyone knowing where in the Windows-registry one can find the parameters (distance, dB, angle) of the THX settings!?! Does anyone?
    Help would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!!
