Problem with Audigy 2 Platinum eX (Germ

Hallo Leute !
Habe seit kurzem ernsthafte Probleme mit meiner Audigy 2 Platinum eX. Vielleicht hat ja jemand die rettende L?sung, denn bislang hat keine Hilfe gefunzt.
(Board: Asus K8V, Boxen: Logitech 5., OS: Win XP)
Problem:
System schmiert momentan mitten im Betrieb ab bzw. bleibt einfach stehen (Maus geht nicht mehr) und es ist ein permanenter Pfeiffton zu h?ren. Das passiert unter XP Desktop, aber auch mitten in Spielen bzw. beim MP3 h?ren.
Zur Anmerkung: Die Audigy 2 Platinum eX Karte lief mehrere Monate lang ohne Probleme, bis es auf einmal losging. Wenn ich die Audigy Karte ausbaue und die On-Board Karte nutze, dann l?uft alles ohne Probleme und ohne Abst?rze. Wenn ich die Audigy wieder einbaue (und dire On-Board abschalte) dann habe ich wieder die Probleme und Abst?rze.
Bislang wurde schon folgendes probiert:- System komplett + neu + sauber installiert (Windows XP, egal ob SP o. SP2)- s?mtliche alten + neuen + Beta Treiber von Creative probiert- aktuelles Direct X (Diagnose bringt keine Fehler)- BIOS upgedated- VIA 4in Treiber upgedated- PCI Slot gewechselt- keine sonstigen Hardwareprobleme o. Konflikte (ASUS K8V Board)
Alles ohne Erfolg.
Ist die Soundkarte denn wirklich defekt und muss eingeschickt werden ?!

  • Problem with Audigy 2 Platinum Front Panel Input

    0Problem with Audigy 2 Platinum Front Panel Input? Hey everyone,
    Here's the background of the issue. I got a PS3 over the holidays for literally free
    I had my computer out in a testbed style. Plugged the PS3 into my monitor HDMI --> DVI cable, and Red/White into the front RCA jacks of the Front Panel (Aux 2). As soon as I plugged in the cable, I got sound out of my speakers and was able to enjoy my PS3 in 720p
    I put all of the components back into the case after cutting exhause and intake fan holes. I brought everything back to school, fired up the PC and PS3. Lo and behold, there is no more sound from the PS3. I know that PS3s are temperamental in moving, but I hooked the audio up to my TV and the sound came out just fine. The AD Ext cable looks like it's secure and in place. When I hooked up a mic and headphones to the front, they worked fine as well. However it seems to be just the AUX 2 RCA inputs that dont work anymore. Any ideas about how to fix this issue? Is there a function I have to turn on now in the software to allow sound to pass through? Any information would be wonderful!? I'm going to try an optical cable in the near future, just need to borrow one from a friend =/

    Problem Solved.
    I had moved my cards around for better airflow. I moved the SB Audigy card from the bottom PCI slot to the top. Thinking this might be the problem, I moved the video card back to the top slot PCI-E and the sound card to the bottom PCI slot. Sound is now working again. Thanks for the thread views?:smileytongue:
    Think that when I have to buy Win 7 for real if the problem would still persist if I moved the card again? Or is this a hardware limitation?

  • Line-in volume problem with Audigy 2 Platinum

    I have a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum Ex with latest drivers and I have an Avermedia TV Box 5 conected to the rear line-in RCA input.
    The problem I have is that despite having the Avermedia Box at max volume, I hear it very low on the speakers (I have 6. Creative ones). So if I play an mp3 or whatever I can hear it pretty well, but TV Box sounds pretty low.
    My question is: Is there a way to make it sound a little loud? I've messed with line 3 input volume in the creative mix panel but I cant make it sound like a normal mp3 or sound.

    Problem Solved.

  • Midi/browser playback problem with Audigy 2 platinum (Cannot set Default Device for some reas

    Currently I'm having problems playing back mid files in Mediaplayer and various other default programs. I can play midifiles in Winamp by setting it to the proper Directsound device. However in control panel/sound setup (MIDI music Playback), It only lists the MIDI Out Devices instead of the playback one and is defaulted on BLANK when I enter it. I have a feeling this is the main problem.
    DX Diag plays back the midi fine. I have tried reinstalling the latest drivers and the drivers from the disc with no luck at all. Also the default language has been stuck on Japanese as well. I have no idea why it started doing this but it seems to also affect any sound playback in my web browsers since I don't even get sound from any Flash files or Google video.Message Edited by zoglog on 06-23-2006 :38 PMMessage Edited by zoglog on 06-23-2006 :38 PM

    Ok, well I did a clean sweep and clean reinstall of the drivers that fixed my language problem. However I cannot get the proper "Midi music playback" Default Device. Whenever I change it to something it reverts it to a blank no matter how many times I change it or uncheck "Use only default devices"
    It does the exact same thing for "Voice playback"
    I'm not sure if this is related but I don't get any sound from any web-browser Shockwave flash files.
    This is really starting to get fustrating. Any help input would be greatly appreciated. I think the worst part about this is I know the midi works, it just won't let me assign the device....
    Oh yeah, also even if I set the "place volume icon in taskbar" option in the sound and devices properties it wll not show. Not sure if this is related...Message Edited by zoglog on 06-23-2006 :44 PM

  • Problems with Audigy Platinum and Firew

    Hi,
    I've been running my Soundblaster Audigy Platinum on my Win2k-System for some years and have just encountered some weird problems with the Firewire-Connector. When I connect an external DVD-Burner everything works fine. But when I connected an external harddisc for the first time recently, the system completely flipped and rebootet without any messages. When I connected the dri've via USB it wasn't recognized automatically (what it should have after the manual) but after installing the Drivers on the Disc. Afterwards also the Firewire-connect was possible, the dri've was recognized and appeared in the Explorer. So far so good.
    But now, everytime I try to copy files larger than some Megabyte the dri've stops copying and I get an error message. Then the dri've disappears in the explorer. When I connect the dri've to my Laptop (XP Pro System) everything works fine. I already tried to google the problem and found some users with the same problem, unfortunately no answers to their posts. Is there someone who can help me (us)?
    By the way, I already tried to re-install the drivers for the audigy...

    hi kakarocht, tks for help me.
    My mobo is new, i buy all the config recently.
    i'm searching in the forum, and found this topic https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=85631.0
    my HD SATA is the same of this, i will try to remove it, and then tell here for you.
    sorry for my english again.

  • Mic Problems- With Audigy ZS, the one with the external Sound ca

    hi i brought this sound card about a year ago and just been using it for recording using line3, but now i want to use a mic, and so i plub in a mic into line/mic and all i get is static, so i plug into line2 and i fully yell just to hear a wisper, when using a wave recorder, or teamspeak. i have heard people have alot of problems with mics and this sound card and others no prob. i was wondering if any has had the same prob and how they over come this tech problem, i have little computer mics, through to big professional singing ones. help plz.

    <A class=auth_text style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold" href="http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/view_profile?user.id=5369" target=top>KristianK[/url],
    Is it an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro you have (with the external dri've)?
    Did you check the mixer settings when you connected your mic? As long as the recording source is set up correctly you should be able to record from that input. Did you test that with a standard computer microphone aswell? You mentioned you have several mics.

  • Problems with Audigy 2 ZS ASIO driv

    I have some problems with ASIO drivers in my Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro. I use the program Cubase SE. When I select the SB Audigy 2 ZS ASIO 24/96-driver, it works for some time but then the sound starts cracking and popping and eventually doesn?t work at all until you reselect the driver. And with the SB Audigy 2 ZS ASIO-driver I can only record in mono, even though I checked the inputs. I think the Creative ASIO-driver had the same problem. Actually the ASIO Multimedia Driver has functioned the best. What could be the problem?

    Indeed, if you think it's something that might be useful to others aswell, then it would be nice to have it up here

  • Problem with MSI X58 Platinum SLI - IOH temperature !

    Hi guys.
    I have this PC configuration:
    - MSI X58 Platinum SLI ( Bios Version 3.8 - http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/6707/161020101249.jpg )
    - Intel Core i7 930 2.80 GHz box ( with Intel Turbo Boost running sometimes at 3.06 Ghz )
    - MSI GeForce GT240 1GB DDR5 128-bit HDMI
    - Corsair 6GB DDR3 1333MHz CL9 XMS3 Triple Channel Kit ( sets to AUTO and running at 1066 Mhz )
    - Corsair CMPSU-750TXEU
    - Ordinary case ( http://img828.imageshack.us/img828/4200/161020101246.jpg & http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/8480/161020101247.jpg ).
    - Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.
    I bought my PC components 2 months ago, so they are new.
    Now, guys I think that is a problem with my motherboard. When I turn on the computer in Bios I have this temps: CPU – 30 C (86 F); IOH – 71 C (159 F); System 30 C (86 F) - http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/394/161020101242.jpg. After 2 minutes the temperatures are: CPU – 34 C (93 F); IOH – 82 C (179 F); System 41 C (105 F) and 2 more minutes later the temperatures are: CPU – 34 C (93 F); IOH – 84 C (183 F); System 43 C (109 F). After 30 minutes of doing nothing I have this temps: CPU – 35 C (95 F); IOH – 85 C (185 F); System 42 C (107 F) -
    Guys it is normal with IOH temperature ? I am a little worried about it ( to be honest I am more than “a little” … I am worried a lot ).
    Ok, I know I don’t have a good case but in 3 weeks I should receive this Thermaltake Spedo Advance Case (http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/Product.aspx?C=1121&ID=1829) and I will buy a new CPU cooler ( I don’t know yet wich one – maybe Corsair CWCH70 or Noctua NH-D14 but I have to see the case first … to be sure there is a plenty of space for those coolers ).
    Pls help me with that IOH temperature. It is normal ? What if I intend to make a little OC ( lets say CPU to 3652 Mhz and RAM to 1333 Mhz … but also I will ask for your support ! ) my motherboard will burn ?
    If it is necessary I will contact my retailer and send him back the motherboard but … I like MSI a lot.
    Thx guys for your support !

    Hey guys,  
    Here is a nice cheap alternative.
    Here is my story about the same issue.  I found it after looking at why my computer freezes sometimes. Not very often but enough for me to do some investigation.   I noticed my IOH temp was a whopping 117 degrees Celsius. lol.  Surprised my mobo didn't burn out by now.  I wanted to evaluate the situation with the heat sink and decided to take it off.  After taking it off I found extremely crusty purple compound on board the chipset and the heatsink.  I took me FOREVER to scrape it off. it was almost like a cement which I found odd.  After scraping and cleaning the surfaces with alcohol, I placed some silver compound on and proceeded to put it back on.  
    Well, upon hooking everything back up I was still at 95 to 103 degs.   Now I started to really look at the options to replace this.  I had SLI config which means I had to do something clever with the southbridge as well.  A nice thermaltake chipset solution w/fan and a low profile copper southbridge with shipping was about 45 bucks.  Hmm ... This is a sure fix from the threads I have read and its really kid of expensive to fix a simple defect. the problem is not necessarily with the heatsink not being sufficient.  Its the combo of the compound used vs the amount of pressure applied between the heatsink and chipset.  It was completely unacceptable.  I knew this right away when I was watching the temp and then I would press on the top of the IOH heatsink and I would watch it drop another 15 degrees in less then 10 seconds. The springs are extremely weak and not effective at all in transferring the heat from the NB.
    Here if my fix.  Cost me less than a dollar at the hardware store and it works ideal thus far.  Do this at your own risk.  Doing this will probably void any warranty too.   All my problems are solved and I am running at 57 degrees, YES, 57 degrees with the stock heatsink and no additional cooling.
    For one scrape all that old crap off like I did. Apply your new compound. But when you go to replace your heatsink, use the following method.  The trick is to use metal screws with a mobo washer, original springs from the plastic studs and a nylon locknut.  Use screws that are the same diameter and length (maybe a tad bit longer) as the plastic retainer studs.  Also grab a few of those red nylon mobo washers too, were gonna need them as well.
    After scraping and applying compound, reassemble as follows.  Screw with washer inserted into the back of the mobo so the threads are out front.  The plastic/nylon washer is betweeen the screwhead and the back of the mobo as a insulator. Put the heatsink on. With the threads thru the heatsink already, put the springs on and start spinning on the locknut.  I torqued the nut down on the spring until the spring almost became fully compressed.  The purpose of the spring here is really to prevent you breaking something and at the same time using the max force of the spring since it weak to begin with. Thats why we need to compress it down pretty much all the way. There will be little to no room in the spring at this point.  The heatsink at this point should be pretty solid to the board as well.  I noticed with the plastic studs before the heatsink would wobble if you gave it a little rocking back and forth before.  Not this time. Shouldn't move much if at all.  Remember not to torque down too much. You don't want to go beyond the springs compression. Even if you did by accident, its better then not using a spring at all. If you feel that it starts to feel tight when torquing, you torqued too far. Stop an backup a 1/4 turn or so.  It is also very important to make sure both torques are equal on both sides as well. Alternate sides when torquing down.  I could tell by how much thread I had left on both sides and by looking for any uneven sides.
    To summarize, the compound is a problem no doubt.  After you resolve the compound issue, its all about the adequate pressure between the heatsink and the IOH.  Much like the amount of pressure needed between your CPU and your heatsink give or take. And the pressure that would be as an aftermarket solution like the thermaltake chipset cooler. You dont see cheesy springs on that.  Wake up MSI. Simpy using a more effective spring could save MSI some cash in the long run. I envision a leafsprin design like the thermaltake chipset one.  The heatsink design could be better, sure, but the design itself is not the problem. Replace the heatsinks if you would like to, if your overclocking and stuff.  Funny, this board I have is a refurb too and only had it for a few weeks. Figured they would have done something about it.
    Sorry the pics are not the best. Here is about as close as I could get to the finished product

  • Itunes 7.0.1 skipping problem with audigy soundcard

    Hi, I have an audigy se soundcard and running itunes 7.0.1. Whenever the cpu usage spikes (opening applications and loading animations on webpages) and I'm playing music in itunes, the music skips and cracks. I don't think it's issue with soundcard/driver cuz winamp works perfectly fine with no skips. I've tried changing audio pref (tried 8, 16, 24 bit and 32, 44.1 and 48 khz) in quicktime, all of which did't work. I don't want to change the process priority for itunes cuz i have to do it every time. Any ideas? This doesn't happen with onboard audio so it's really weird. I want to be able to use my soundcard. Thanks.

    Did you try turning your hardware acceleration setting down? I was having the same problem with the previous version of iTunes and was advised to change my acceleration setting from "full" to "basic". If you want to try this, go to the control panel>sounds and audio devices>audio tab>sound playback advanced button>pull the acceleration lever down two notches from Full to basic. Restart itunes and see if that helps.

  • IDE/SCSI Problems with Neo 4 Platinum/Sli

    I am routinely getting Event 11 and Event 9 errors in my event viewer which are basically "The controller detected an error on device " then lists a controller and a harddrive.   I never got errors like this on my old rig (an Asus A7Pro Motherboard) and I'm using many of the same components.  I get controller errors on my Adaptec Card/HDD which is very odd since I'd imagine they were totally separate from the nVidia or Silicon Image SATA/IDE on the board. 
    New Rig:
    MSI Neo4 Platinum/SLI
    Athlon 64 3500+
    Thermaltake K8 SilentOrb
    1 GB (Dual Channel 512MB DDR) Kingson Hyper-X
    1 BFG 6800GT OC (PCI-E) (with an Artic Cooling NVSilencer rev2)
    Turtle Beach Santa Cruz (although I may change to the onboard 24bit SB Live)
    Adaptec 29160 PCI Ultra 160 Controller
    Belkin 54G Wireless Adapter
    Pioneer SCSI II slot load DVD-ROM drive
    Toshiba SCSI II CD-R/CD-RW drive
    500+ Watts Vantec Stealth PSU (with good voltages on all rails)
    74GB Western Digital Raptor (SATA connected to Slot 4 - nVidia SATA channel, no RAID)
    80GB Western Digital 8MB RAM, Special Edition UDMA 4 IDE HDD
    36GB Seagate Ultra2 Cheetah
    Old Rig had the WD IDE drive, the SCSI card and dvd/cd drives, the sound card, and the wireless card.
    I originally had a 40GB IDE Maxtor drive (which I replaced with the Digital Raptor) but it had all sorts of event 11 and 9 errors and exhibited slow IDE performance and even created conflicts with the WD IDE Drive outside of windows.  I had problems running the WD diagnostsics software (runs in DOS) when the Maxtor drive was set to primary master on either of the two IDE channels.
    What I'm wondering is if there is a BIOS upgrade or Driver release or anything that fixes these problems for people.  I'm using BIOS 3.1 (when I upgraded to Bios 3.4, my computer would BSOD in normal and safe modes, and I didn't feel like reinstalling Windows, so I downgraded back to 3.1)  The nVidia IDE drivers (6.53) caused massive problems with my drives (event 11 and 9 and endless lockups with the IDE light remaining on, requiring cold boots) so I ditched them for the windows default drivers.
    I'm curious if people have checked out their own event viewer (Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Event Viewer->System for all you non-power users) and checked out the errors listed there. 
    The only other stability problem sI've noticed is when playing Half Life 2 in 1280X1024 resolution (1024X768 didn't have the problem) would cause complete crash of the machine.  Monitor would lose signal and a cold boot was required... reset button didn't fix the problem.  I figured this might be a cooling issue so I checked temps and they were fine.  Then I figured it may be a power problem so I upgraded to the Vantec Stealth PSU (from my Antec 380W SilentPower)  I haven't tested HL2 extensively since, so I'm not sure if this problem has gone away. The other problem occurs when trying to rip a CD in iTunes with "cd error checking on"  System totally stalls out and a cold boot is required to get the SCSI happy again.  If I rip using error checking off, things seem to work, however I get a problem sometimes where a track will suddenly squeel and crack in the middle and then the remainder of the song will be the first track on the album.  The next track in the sequence will have a half second blip of the previous track on it, essentially meaning that two tracks are "broken rips"  Ripping in AudioGrabber with ASPI doesn't seem to exhibit these problems.
    Any similar experiences or sollutions/advice would be greatly appreciated.

    It's been fixed for the Neo2.  I am using a modded version called 1C3 EasyBios [rev.2].  I think it is based on the latest version or new beta of the official 1.B.  Read all about it:

  • Problems with audigy 4 softw

    hi ^^
    i have a problem with the software of my audigy 4 pro
    the programs don?t start because of a strange error:
    "Das von dieser Anwendung unterst?tzte Audioger?t wurde nicht gefunden."
    in english:
    "The audio device supported by this application was not found."
    what causes this problem?
    what can i do?

    An installation error causes this problem which in the first instance is addressed by ensuring that you have disabled the onboard audio. If this does not work in the second instance you will need to uninstall the card as follows:
    / Uninstall software and drivers either, through control panel or the installation CD
    2/ Move the card to PCI slot 3 (if not already there)
    3/ Manually remove registry entries as follows:
    . Delete the files from "\Creative".
    2. Delete the following registry node from the registry
    (a) HKLM\Software\Creative Tech\Software Installed
    (b) HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uni nstall\5CDDF96A- BC34-4D72-9ABA-EFFF0C39977
    4/ Reinstal the software and drivers.
    In the third instance we wait to see first.

  • Microphone problems with Audigy 2 ZS/win 7 x64

    Hello.
    I have very common problem with my soundcard audigy 2 ZS on windows 7 x64 with 8gb RAM. A week ago installed win 7 (was xp before) and noticed that my mic is not working. When I turn on microphone in output device i hear crystal clear sound from headphones, as input device it is not working properly. After reboot it don't work, no reaction on any changes. Usually after 5-20 mins I can hear signal from it (even when I'm not doing anything). Still sound quality is terrible, lots of noises and bugs. So I can't use it. After reboot mic not working again.
    My microphone is fine, soundcard also worked on XP without problems (almost all A2ZS users have same problem). The latest drivers was installed on clean, fully updated Win 7 Ultimate. Tried danielK pack. Still no results, this is about 2 years old problem with drivers and I want to know any realistic way to solve it. All post on forum are outdated, or don't have any useful info.

    Krookut,
    Try these suggested steps when cleansweeping and reinstalling. They may help make the reinstall more successful:

  • Vista x64, CMSS, and Distortion Problems with Audigy Z

    I have an Audigy ZS 2 Plantinum, and I recently upgraded from XP x86 to Vista x64. With XP, I had no problems with the most recent drivers. I used CMSS-3D to output to all my speakers, mainly to make my music sound better when I played it (so it surrounded me, not just in front, even though its just Stereo).
    Well, after trying to install the drivers for Vista x64 and having a ton of difficulties getting it to even set to 5. speakers, whenever I have CMSS turned on, sounds within programs are scratchy/distorted (such as Aol Instant Messenger). Music is fine (I use MediaMonkey), and those sound .wav's from programs play fine when opened on their own in MM or WMP. When I turn CMSS off, there is no distortion.
    Does anyone have a solution for this I would like to have music played through all my speakers, but I am always using other programs when listening to music and I don't want their sounds to be distorted.

    If anyone else is having similar problems: For me it seems to be an incompatibility between Creative Audigy 2 ZS drivers and Philips amBX set drivers. I've started a thread on the amBX forums : http://ambx.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3797
    I still need help to fix these problems.

  • Serious problems with Audigy 2

    Several Threads here in the Discussion Forums and across the Internet reports that there are crackling/hissing/popping noises with their Audigy 2 and also the X-Fi Sound Cards.
    I have the problem since that day they where available in the austrian or german stores, but at that time i thought it was a problem of the motherboard or the internal raid controller on my abit kx7 raid board. At that time i tried the first problem solvings like putting the card in the furthest slot from the agb, dismantle the whole computer and only tried to run with the audigy. I even reinstall a new Windwos Xp and always used the newest drivers and bios upgrades. But there was no solution for my problem. Soon after that i found the first postings across the internet reporting the same problem. Time after time more users came across and speculated about the possible solutions. Its really awesome, the people put much effort in helping each other. I TRIED EVERYTHING, really. I dont know how much time i invested to get rid off this annoying problem, and so other great guys do and as im writing this thread. But nothing works
    Hey folks, come on, this cant be true. Not when there are so many people reports the same problem. They are all using different configurations but they all have the same problem: a hissing/crackling/popping sound. We all cannot say whats the real problem, we even can not say if its a problem with the soundcard.
    Sure, no one can make a product without failures, but there are so many people reporting the same problem over a serious period of time, that there has to be a reaction from Creative.
    I have to say i am very upset, i, or better many, feel to be left alone with a problem which we can't solve.
    Please dont let us folks alone and help us to solve the problems we have. We have a right for it, as you have the right to get good money.....

    Sorry for my bad grammar and mistakes :-)
