Problems with Mic with Audigy 2 zs Platinum (with external b

<IMG height= alt="" src="http://forums.creative.com/i/p.gif" width= border=0>
I'm having problems with my mic settings when using built-in game comms such as Half Life Counterstrike source and Battlefield 2...
I have my mic connected to Line / Mic on my Audigy External Panel which works fine when using voice comms such as Teamspeak and Ventrillo but when i load up any of the mentioned games it changes my settings from Line / Mic to just Mic, there is another Mic connection to the soundcard at the back as opposed to the Line / Mic connection on the external Panel but it doesn't appear to be working. Any ideas ?

Nevermind after extensi've searching in forums using several keywords i found this.. http://forums.creative.com/creativel...id=5203#M29642
Bit disapointed I didn't get a reply from any Creative tech heads though, as it is the 2nd time I posted about this same problem when Counterstrike Source originally came out
So I have to concede that i will think again when purchasing a ?40 product from creative when there is a lack of basic support :smileyindifferent:

Creative Audigy 2 Platinum with WHAT YOU HEAR & MICROPHONE shows "Currently Unavailable"

I re-used my Creative Audigy2 Platinum for my new built PC used on Window7 64. Somehow, the latest Creative Sound Blaster Audigy series driver 2.18.0017 "SBAX_PCDRV_LB_2_18_0017.exe" on Creative Website (http://support.creative.com/Products...rodName=Audigy 2 Platinum&subCatName=Audigy&CatName=Sound+Blaster&V ARSET=prodfaq:PRODFAQ_150,VARSET=CategoryID:1 )for my old Audigy2 Platinum has some kinds of "bug" problem. It keeps disconnecting my internet access. Also, both "What You Hear" & "Microphone" in Recording show as "Currently Unavailable". And with that, the microphone and music does play fine on speakers or headphones, but I could not use its for talk live through the internet (i.e. PALTALK) or mixing music.
Please help and Thanks a lot!!

Using Audigy 2 Platinum with Gigaworks

Hi All,
Just a quick query!
I have an Audigy 2 Platinum (not ZS or EX or Pro); it's the one with the white, internally mounted front panel.
I am going to invest in the Gigaworks 7. set plus the DDTS-00 decoder unit.
Does the Audigy 2 Platinum support 7. surround, or will i have to upgrade to the Audigy 4?
Many thanks
Jake

I *think* the Audigy 2 platinum is also "just" a 6. card. For the full support of 7. you need either the Audigy 2ZS or the 7. Li've version or... the Audigy 4. But the S750 will work with your current card.

New Mic + New Audigy 2 Platinum = Lots of Background No

I just purchased a new microphone and the Creative SoundBlaster Audigy 2 Platinum. I linked the microphone I'm using below. 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.

Problem with EAX in audigy 2 platinum

I have the soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS When i listen to music i always have the pop effect on on eax console. there are quite a few times that when i turn the effect on i cant hear any sound on my computer. the problem does not exist with the environmental effects (like theater , concert hall etc) only with the advanced EQ. had this problem for ages. i installed countless times new drivers but no luck. that used to happen with my old soundblaster platinum too

fedepolito,
I assume that you are running WinXP with Service Pack 3. Did you do a clean sweep of all the Creative Software and reinstall from the A2ZS CD? Do you get sound then?
Me disculpo que no entend?a que todo que usted dijo en su poste. Asumo que usted est? funcionando Windows XP con el Service Pack 3. ?Usted hizo un retiro del barrido limpio de todo el Creative software? (Busque los foros para el "clean sweep." ) ?Despu?s de eso, cuando usted reinstala del CD de Audigy 2 ZS, usted consigue el sonido?

The ZxR has asio according to Creative's product sheet.
Maybe you should contact tech support again and put in the above link and ask why they say that there is no asio support !
I don't use asio so I don't know more about it.

S750 + Audigy 2 Platinum ZS external

Hello guys,
I have external Audigy 2 External Platinum Sound card and planning to buy S750. Will I need DDTS-100?I am confused about the decorder, I spoke to the tech support at creative and he said the speakers are not digital, so you won't get digital sound. He did sound like he was lost.
Would it be right to say that if I have Audigy Sound card I don't need DDTS-100? Thank you kindly

okay let me get this right, you own a audigy 2 zs platinum pro-that is a pci sound card with an external break out box, with several input and output's headphone and microphone jacks and remote control? If so and if you own any audigy 2 zs products, then if you want to plug in the s750's then you will need to connect them via the 3xanalogue jacks. The s750's don't have digital input, only analogue, which isn't a problem because they sound fantastic any way. To put it simply the sound card does all the work, decodes dvd audio via the onaboard dolby digital or dts decoders, creates 7. output from games and other audio then outputs the sound via the 3xanalogue outputs to your speakers. The only reason you would want the creative decoder module is if you wanted to plug the s750's into a game console or external dvd player. The external decoder module has in built dolby digital and dts decoders, but because your sound card already has these, there is no point in buying it.
cheers

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.

FAQ Comment on Audigy 2 Platinum Solution ID 1

First, I didn't see where else to put this. So...
I was experiencing noise and hiss problems with my 2400+, Audigy 2 Platinum card. Every time I moved the cursor, especially when editing sound files on on IE, there was a high pitched squeal which accompanied mouse movement. The FAQ suggested to completely uninstall the board, software, and drivers. With a bit of "hmm, can't do that and the like" the FAQ corrected the problem.
The FAQ however needs a bit of updating under the XP cleansweep:
. Step 6: The A2P has the setup.exe, same as the X-Fi card, but what it does not have is the Creative Driver Utility Update. Perhaps this is under a driver update but trying to make sense out of those is difficult.
2 Selecting the "Rate Solution" is limited to 300 characters even though you can type more. So I guess this is the right place for FAQ comments.
Thanks for the help.

Seems that nobody else has had this problem yet. In the meantime i have found out that just one channel is full of noise. Even under Ubuntu i have this noise so it's definitely the hardware. Must be something damaged indeed. the point is that i would like to know how can i avoid to happen this once again. In the last 25 years i am dealing with RCA Audio i connected the devices always not powering them off before. Seems that the problem is here. It could have shortcutted something inside the I/O box.

Audigy 2 Platinum prob

Hello,?Upon uninstalling the Bioshock demo today I noticed that my headphones were no longer functioning out of the Audigy 2 front port. I checked the volume and headphones, both those were working properly and nothing was muted. I can hear the sound out of my speakers normally. Additionally, if I now click on Surround Mixer I get "unable to change the sound device to your selected device."? I tinkered around a bit in device manager but did not find precisely what I was looking for evidentally to fix the issue. All the sound devices were set to Audigy 2, and that is where I get stuck!?Any advice as to where to look would be helpful.Message Edited by Platinumstorm on 08-22-2007:3 PM
Update*
I've been able to get to the surround mixer by reinstalling the drivers, but being able to get the headphones to work through the device still isn't happening... If anyone has any advice i'd appreciate it =D.

I just installed my Audigy2 zs platinum pro. When I attempt to utilize audiohq I get the following error:
AudioHQ Plugins Launcher has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

The same error applies to device controls, eax controls, and the autoregister program.
I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling, updating the drivers, rolling back the drivers, I'm currently downloading SP2 and will try installing that :_( and there are no conflicts listed in the device manager.

Audigy 2 Platinum driver corrupti

Before I get into the problem let me give some info on my system.
Audigy 2 platinum
Asus A7V333 mobo (revision A)
Athlon 800+ proc
Windows XP pro
Long story short the drivers seemed to have inexplicably bailed on me. I boot up two days ago and all games give errors that audio drivers are not detected. I get system sounds, but nothing else.
dxdiag gives the following errors:
-Sound tests: DirectSound test results: Failure at step 3 (DirectSoundCreate): HRESULT = 0x88780078 (No driver)
-Music tests: DirectMusic test results: Failure at step 6 (Activating the IDirectMusicPort): HRESULT = 0x88780078 (No driver)
I ran the bundled diagnostic utility as well and recieved the following:
Hardware detection: Pass
Wave Driver: Fail
MIDI Driver: Fail
Mixer Driver: Fail
DirectSound 3D Driver: Pass
Registry: Pass
Mixer Settings Check: Fail
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers from the retail CD. Same situation with the retail drivers. I also updated via the Creative software update and no change. (I really wish there was an up to date driver package instead of updates)
I did not make any recent hardware or software changes, and other than this problem, everything else with the system is fine.
Unless anyone has any suggestions, my next step is to uninstall the drivers again, as well as completely remove it from the registry. However I doubt this will help much. The last time I had an issue with these drivers (consistent .dll errors) nothing short of a full system reinstall fixed it.
Any suggestions?

Audigy 2 Platinum - Bad Sound Qual

Hi!
I've got an Audigy 2 Platinum with Sennheiser HD 650 headphones running under Windows Vista x64 with the Creative Labs Audigy drivers 2.2.0002 and sound quality is really horrific.
Sound quality was quite good in Windows XP, but it's absolutely horrific when I run Windows Vista. Everything sounds as if I was listening to an 28 kbit mp3 or maybe like the first generation of onboard sound chips.
It's so bad I'm wanting to squint after slightly more than a minute of enduring an MP3 on Vista.
Is this a known phenomenon?
It there anything I can do about it's
Thx,
-Markus-

The 2.2.0002 drivers were really nasty for me, and many other Audigy 2 owners. The link in my signature contains many different software solutions to be used as an alternati've to official 2.2.0002.
Hope this helps.

Problem with mic in on audigy 2 platinum

Hello,
When I try to record signal from my stereo microphone (for example sony ecm 959a) and I'm switchng to "mic in" only one channel is recording. When I'm switching to "line in " everything is ok (but then I can't use gain). "Mic in" in Audigy 2 platinum ex is mono or something?
Thx for help!

AFAIK it's mono.
You need to read something like [url="http://homerecording.com/sound_card_basics.html">this[/url].
I'm surprised you got both channels to work at all.

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?
