Please Read this ! USB Sound Blaster 24-Bit External : The Story of the endless problem

In order to keep the good behavior here (I`m really pissed off !) I just?want to tell you something (this is ESPECIALLY for all the guys from the stuff)?Before 2 days I`ve decided to buy a new sound system for my room. I bought myself Creative Inspire t600 5. surround system. Cool. I was very happy. I?needed only to buy a sound card?working with 5. because I have a notebook DELL INSPIRON 50 who has only 2 canals. So in order to be everything beautiful I gave $70 for Usb sound blaster 24-Bit external. And from that time the problems began. In short :? I was using Vista but I found out that it wont work with this soundcard. The first problem : Didn`t identify the device. I tried with several drivers... Nope. No sound card with Vista.(This problem seems to appearance with many owners like me)?I pluged the usb soundcard in my old pc running XP and it worked . PERFECTLY. So I removed Vista from my notebook and intalled XP. This took me whole day to rebuild all my software. Finally it left to set up the sound drivers. The cherry of the icecream. Aaaaand ..... **bleep**. When I play?any track it CRACKLES. Again problem appearanced with many here. I tried to find out here what is the problem but unfortunately as u can see my english is quite bad?so I cant understand?what I need.I really like Creative but if they cant manage this problem I will?no longer buy their stuffs??JUST PLEASE SOMEBODY ANSWER ME IS THERE ANY SOLUTION FOR THIS OR NOT. I JUST WANT STRAIGHT ANSWERPS : Please do not delete my post. I know there are plenty like this. I dont want this crackles

well ?

Sound blaster 24 bit external (cracking)

Hey guys, i've recently reinstalled my 24 bit sound blaster as i noticed there was an update to make it compatible with windows 7. It's kinda working fine but my front left speaker is cracking/sometimes not playing at all. Any suggestions?
Also when i do the surround test my front left speaker is VERY quiet compared to the rest. Thanks

Hi.
Creative as an Audio Center to download for sb live 24 external soundcard, and they say this application restores the Line in monitoring function (that's what you want).
But it doesn't work!!!
I had the same issues and here is Creatives support team reply to my emails:
"Our Advance Support Group has confirmed that the Line in Monitoring
feature isn't supported under Vista with Live 24 Bit External.
Sorry for the inconvenience caused."
So my solution was to give up Windows Vista and install Windows XP on my laptop.

Sound Blaster Live! External ...Where is my softwa

I use the CD to install the drivers...ok.
I use the CD to install the software...ok.
I go to configure the speakers start/programs/creative/sound blaster li've! external 24 bit/ EMPTY!
Yeah...so I uninstall..and do it again. Nothing. So now my 5. system, is a piece of crap 2 speaker (un-configrued) waste.
Support? Nothing on the site that can help. Cant even download the setup from the site.
Any suggestions?

?Hi Pudi,
MS USB audio class driver is the driver that gets loaded for any USB audio device by default if you did not install any drivers that is provided by the vendor (in this case, Creative). To try this, you can do a full uninstallation of creative software for the Sound Blaster Li've External 24bit, then connect the hardware to your laptop again after that. The driver that will be loaded at this time would be the MS USB audio class driver. If you know how to look at driver publisher in device manager for the Sound Blaster Li've External 24bit, then you can also check that the publisher of the driver is Microsoft and not Creative if everything goes well.
Once you managed to do this, if you still have the same problem, then I would think that it is a compatibility problem with your laptop. For such cases, you can try to use a self-power USB hub in between the sound card and your laptop. This might help.

Windows Vista - Sound Blaster 24 Bit Usb - No Microphone Playback Real Time Kara

Hi,
I don't no if this problem was just discussed in another thread, if so please giveme simply the link...
I'm Italian, so sorry for my poor english or bad translation...
PC: Laptop, "Toshiba Satellite A 200 24E"
OS: "Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack " - All update done.
Dev.: "External Sound Blaster 24 Bit Usb" - Driver downloaded from Creative Web Site
At the very beginning I tried the internal Sound Card (Realtek) to do karaoke in spare time, but couldn't hear anything coming from Microphone. So I tried to buy an external sound card. The result is the same.
On "Record Device" I can see the Microphone Device, the level is on top, when I speak in the microphone I can see the green bar light up, if I record my voice I can hear myself when I playback, but no sound in real time.
I read that a lot of people have similar problems, but everone solves in a different manner...
I tried:
- I read in other forums advices about to do something like unmute microphone on "Audio playback devices" >> "Speaker" >> "Levels", but I don't see any checkbox, I can see only Speaker Level Bar...
- As read in other websites, to add a registry key (something like EnableInputMonitor in a specific path), but nothing changes. I cannot find other Device, not in Playback Devices, and not in Record Devices.
Please help, all was great with the same microphone, on old Packard Bell Laptop, old Sound Blaster mp3+ usb, and old Windows Xp.
If no solution, I 'm going on buy an old laptop with Windows xp, or an external Mixer, but I'm disappointed on spending more money...

well ?

I?m having the EXACT SAME problem. I thought it was something isolated, but apparently it isn't.
Sound just "pops" and "shutdowns" at an irregular interval of time, which is extremely annoying. I've noticed that it depends highly on the usage I'm giving the PC at the moment. When it's jsut sitting there plkaying music, it rarely happens. But if I'm browsing the web, with sites heavy on images or working on several tabs at the same time, it turns into a 0 second thing, making music almost unbareable... installing ANYTHING at the same time kills anything, 2-3 second pops and fades.
Before you even suggest it, I have a rather high end PC, phenom II 4 cored PC with 4GBs of RAM and a Caviar Black Hard dri've, so it's NOT that the PC can't handle the load. Its jsut browsing with music in the background... with half decent drivers, a 5 year old Celeron PC should be able to handle that...
I've read those troubleshooting guides over and over, and it's amazing how they suggest to shutdown/disable numerous things tha twill kill performmance in other areas, so we can have a functional audio solution. The only suggestion that makes a lot of sense is IRQ sharing with components, such as video cards/SATA dri'ves. I haven't checked/tried that, because unfortunately I'm not quite sure how/where to change the IRQ values... any help there?

USB Sound Blaster C

I bought a new Creative Labs USB Sound Card 24 bit i believe. When i test for voice recording on mic I can playback and hear recording. When try to play music over the microphone and to see if it works I get no music on the recording. I did the hardware test on the new sound card and i'm getting any mic or music. The thing is the mic records just fine just not the music. When i use the mic during the test the volume bar does not move at all like t should. I have wave out checked in my volume options. This worked with my old card. Isn't there supposed to be a what U hear option for sound blaster cards or does the usb sound card not have this on it's I have all of the defaults set to use soundblaster for recording and playback.

Jo kinda covered this but just one thing to keep in mind...
Check what version of USB the card needs and also what version your motherboard supports. If you need say USB2.0 to get full use of a card, and you mobo only supports .0 or . you could just get a PCI card to add some new ones Here's an example:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E68506007
As far as external vs internal... I've heard people say you get better quality from external because you don't have as much electrical interference or something, but I have never had a problem with the sound from internal. I currently own both a SB-Li've!24bit and an Audigy2ZS Plat. (Li've! is in a box now in case I need it for an emergency)

XP Drivers For USB Sound Blaster 0490

% After searching this site for hours, I can't find XP drivers for my USB Sound Blaster 0490. Any ideas? Or do Creative not support legacy hardware. Or could they just do with a search section to find drivers on their site.
Kind regards,
Hemlock

Hi Hemlock,
Are you talking about this driver if you are running 64bit.
Edit: I am not sure if you are running Win XP 32 or 64 bit so I included both.

USB Sound Blaster MP3+ and Vi

My USB Sound Blaster MP3+ performs fantastically using the nati've drivers on Win2K and WinXP.
On Vista, however, there is a chirpy/buzzy distortion piggybacking on any signal passed through the A-to-D (line in, specifically). I've tried two different Vista PC, different powered USB hubs, and with and without the Creative USB Series Windows Vista Driver .0.0002 to no benefit.
I'm an engineer and a programmer, but not a Windows programmer. Can somebody tell me why this nearly generic USB Audio interface doesn't work with Vista I have other USB Audio devices that work fine with the nati've drivers on Vista.

Is there anyone with experience with this sound card, recording and Vista?

Chosing the right USB Sound Blaster C

Hi all,?I have a simple question for anyone who cares to respond. I have purchased Adobe Captivate 2 (formerly Robodemo). I want to add an audio narrati've to my Cap projects. Turns out that Captivate is not compatible with the Realtek sound card that came with my Vaio laptop. As you know, it's a pain to upgrade the sound card on a laptop since everything is embedded in the motherboard. So, I'm going with an external USB sound card.
I won't be doing any high-end game stuff, so I don't need the fastest card in town. Can anyone suggest the best USB Sound Blaster card for my purposes?Thanks,?Guy

Jo kinda covered this but just one thing to keep in mind...

Constant crackle with USB Sound Blaster 5.1. I'll reward you with cookies if you help

Hey guys,
I got the external USB Sound Blaster X-Fi 5. Surround sound card for Christmas, and I've heard a constant, uninterrupted crackle/popping sound since I've installed it. It's incredibly aggravating. I ran through the FAQ, but most of it wasn't applicable because this isn't an internal sound card.
I'm running Windows 7 with 4 gigs of RAM. I can provide other specs if necessary. I'm about to return this card if I can't figure out the problem, so any help provided would be most appreciated. Thanks!

I am curious to learn, what kind of processor do you use?
I use the same product but I have, afaik, not noticed any crackling or popping, certainly nothing constant.
If you use Winamp, the following tips might not help, but at least I get to mention it. In the preferences, under plug-ins and under Output, one can in the device tab change the eh uh device.
Mine was set to primary sound driver, and I set it to "02 Speaker (Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5. Pro", though I do not think it make any difference. Edit: I see now that there is a message here saying "FAQ 0 "primary sound driver" refers to preferred sound device selected in windows control panel".
Someone mentioned that one could try checking the "create primary buffer" in that same tab.
In the next tab called "Buffering", there is the option to "enable cpu usage control". Not sure what good that is for.
Edit2: If you use Winamp, you might want to try out this DSP plugin "enhancer", only works with win7 with this guys work on it (old plugin allegedly unsupported):

Audio and video skip after installing USB Sound Blaster Audigy 2

Hi community,?Since installing my USB Sound Blaster Audigy 2 NX, audio and video skip when being played with either windows media player, winamp, iTunes, neroshow, winDVD 7, creatives own media players etc. in fact anything I can try, won't work. Games are fine, in fact the sound is brilliant. I'd be really grateful for any feedback on this, not being able to listen to music is driving me crazy. Thanks.

Hello thebro90,I had the same problem.After tryed everything, uninstall, reinstall audio drivers, etc, I finally manage to solved it by updating the CPU drivers... I have a AMD Atlhon X2 4800+Never had the problem again.Best regards.

Ipod not connecting again, apple please read this.

First let me state that I made posts awhile back about my Ipod touch not being able to be recognized by itunes at all and just as a camera by windows. Now every single guide did nothing to help and the FEW people that posted had posted things I already did that did not help.
HOWEVER the version of Itunes that was prior to the one I just downloaded connected PERFECTLY with no issues.
But I just updates and wouldnt you know it, the connection problem is BACK. Apple please read this, the last version of Itunes had something different with how it connected to the Ipod...PLEASE bring that back, its so inconvenient not being able to connect to my own Ipod
If someone wants to post a reply that might help feel free...but everything on this website and even a few others not posted here have not worked, this is mostly me praying that Apple reads it...that tiny difference on how it connected made a huge difference with my computer.

Thanks. I worked out a simpler method of turning off the internet access - just switching off my wireless modem. Either way, this works and with the PC not connected to the internet, all three Apple devies will sync.
Thinking about it now, I had a similar problem a few versions ago which I recognised because with Home Sharing on and connected to the internet iTunes was trying to find files from someone in another hotel room who also sharing the hotel's wireless network. My devices would not sync then either. This seemed to be resolved with subsequent itunes upgrades until now ....
Thanks for the advice. Let's hope Apple's next 'update' actually updates itunes so it can sync Apple devices whilst simultaneously connected to the internet (not a big ask really).
