Problems with SB Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro and autoexec.nt and running games. HE

Hey, this is my first post here so Hello all!
Just wondering if anyone can help me.
Ever since i've installed my SB Audigy 2 zs platinum pro soundcard the following error has occurred whenever I attempt to play a dos-based game:
<location of game file>
c:\WINDOWS\System32\autoexec.nt. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications.
I've looked for solutions but I've only found things relating to old old soundblaster cards etc and not an audigy 2. One solution was to copy the autoexec.nt file from the windows\repair folder into the system32 folder. It tried it and yes it worked for the games, but I then had no soundcard and had to move the file back, uninstall and reinstall my audigy 2 all over again. The games still bring up this error. The error also occurred when I tried running Band in a Box .
So I'm really stuck.
Thanks for any help.

In that case, have you try updating the latest BIOS, chipset driver, USB driver(if any) from your mainboard website.

Microphone connection problems with SB audigy 2 ZX platinum pro

I am using an old SB audigy 2 ZX platinum pro purchased back in 2004. It is installed on a PC that I stopped using it in 2005. The pc has no problems and I have started using it again.My problem is that I cannot connect the microphone. Everything was working fine at the time I was this pc including the microphone.At that time I had installed win xp pro( no service packs were available). But after I had to move physically in another location(connection and disconnections etc)and a pc format I cannot use the microphone again. I am trying to connect it to the front panel and to the appropriate places as indicated in the user manual but nothing is happening. I have connected properly the sound cart and all other components are working fine. I checked whether the microphone is checked to silent mode and all other software/di'vers nonetheless everything is working fine. I am now using Win xp pro sp3. I have contacted Creative and they told me to check the mic boost option. But there is no mic boost option now. I clearly recall that there was one when I was using this pc in 2004 under win xp pro(again no service packs were available at that time).One solution I could think is to format again and install some old version of win xp pro (say 2003 or so) and then update to current. But I do not want to format again since I do not have that version of windows available(copyright issues may also raise) plus for some other reasons I do not think I should mention them on an Internet forum. I also tried to download the latest drivers ans apps form creative ,clean installation from the orginal cd including Daniel_K pack and everything someone could think without solving the issue.Creative during our last communication in a very polite way told me to stop emailing them and try to solve the issue on my own as this product is no longer supported. One thing I neglected to mention above is that the mic boost option is available in the motherboard sound chipset. I checked it in one of my attempts to solve the problem. But it disappears when installing the SB driver. I know that if I manage to configure mic boost in the driver settings I will solve the problem.But once again there is no such option. Could you please provide with some suggestions and solutions on how to solve this?. Thank you very in advance for any suggestion and help

Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro and Inspire T7700 does not recognize Mic on Audio Control

Hi folks,
I decided to hook up my headphone and mic sets to the Audio Control Pod for the first time recently to chat online. I'm not sure if I ever tried this when I bought the Inspire T7700 speaker system, but I cannot seem to get any voice to come through in Windows' Sound Recorder (the headphones work fine). I'm hoping that someone here can help...otherwise, I suppose I'll have to find an alternate solution than using my soundcard system.
Here are some specs:
OS: Windows XP SP2 and all current updates
Soundcard: Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro
Speakers: Inspire T7700 with Audio Control Pod (contains the headphone and mic jack)
Here's what I have tried:
. Updated drivers to: SBAX_WBUP2_LB_2_09_006.exe
2. Tested headsets and mics out on another one of my computers with a SoundBlaster Li've. They work fine.
3. Set each audio source with full volume in the Recording Control window as the source while recording in Windows' Sound Recorder (I know some of these aren't right, but I tried them all nonetheless):
- MIDI Synth
- Line-In 3
- Line-In /Mic (this should be the one, I think)
- S/PDIF-In
- Auxiliary (this might be the one for the Audio Control Pod)
- "What U Hear"
- Line-In 2
- CD Digital
- Wave
4. Installed the Creative software from the official CD to manage the audio and speaker settings. Retested the same as item 3 above within this software. Same results.
5. Disconnected the external I/O hub (since I am connecting to the Audio Control Pod, which connects to the speaker system and then my sound card). Interestingly, the Line-In /Mic input disappeared. All that I saw for an input (I believe) was Auxiliary. I tried even that as noted in item 3, but nothing.
Has anyone had any luck in getting a mic from a headphone set to work with the Audio Control Pod for the Inspire T7700 speaker system along with the Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Read the FAQ on top of the soundcard forum concerning SPDIF and digital out. The reason is very easy to find out if you read that. In short: the digital out can only send out a PCM stereo signal (which is why you only get FL/FR sound) and an encoded AC-3 signal.

Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro and XP

I have Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro and Logitech Z-5300 5. Speakers. When using XP SP, everything worked perfectly, then I upgraded to SP2. It has been a complete multimedia nightmare.
When using the diagnostic tools, each speaker works perfectly except will always have a faded voice to the point where I cannot hear the voice but I can hear something was attempting.
WinAMP or Media player or any other MP3 player to include tools coming with creative labs products, I get music only out of a single (Center) speaker. The rest lay silent. I upgraded my sound card drivers using Creative Lab's website. Any ideas how to get my system back to normal sound quality, as of this moment I am thinking creative lab's products do not work correctly under SP2.
Any help would be appreceated and for the money spent on the card, I kind of expect creative to have a solution.

Roaming,
Try cleansweeping and reinstalling the sound card. Sometimes after a major update (like a service pack) some hardware or software needs to be reinstalled. Here is a link to the article that describes how to cleansweep your card.

Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro and Gigaworks speakers

Greetings All. I was just wondering how the card and speakers connect. Does the optical on the breakout box get used or do you use the plugs on the actual card?
Also
What functions and imputs etc. does the gigaworks speakers have? Do they have an optical imput etc? A basic description would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance!!

I have just reinstalled my OS and have updated everything but have noticed the drivers off the website don?t give me the THX Console and a lot of other things that it did have with the drivers off the disc.
I have lost the install disc that came with the card so now I need to find some other way to get all the programs. I have tried the THX Console update file but that just spits out an error saying cannot find relati've components.
So does anyone know where I can get this program or anything that will do it'ss job because I really need to configure my 7. system as you can notice the difference when 7. is not properly configured in movies and games.

Audigy 2 ZS platinum pro and msvcrt.

scard: Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro
OS: Windows XP SP3
msvcrt.dll: 7.0.2600.552 located only in windows\system32 and windows\ServicePackFiles\i386
I tried to update the driver. (Full uninstall of the previous one as per the FAQ plus some cleaning tools like Driver Sweeper, Driver Cleaner, regcleaners etc) I started getting MANY msgs about "different".exe - ENTRY POINT NOT FOUND "The procedure entry point _mbsnbcpy_s could not be located in dynamic link library msvcrt.dll" (the"different".exe contains eg. CTRegSvr.EXE among others).
After restart the driver works but I don't have access to any Creative tools like the mixer for example. It's just the sound working. Nothing else.
I uninstalled everything again. After the previously described cleaning proccess I tried to reinstall the old driver from the installation CD. Same thing. Many errors during the installation proccess about "ENTRY POINT NOT FOUND on msvcrt.dll".
Any Ideas?
I appreciate the help

Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro and ASUS P5W DH Deluxe Motherbo

I am currently trying to get my soundblaster Audigy 2 Platinum Pro to work with this board. I have dis-abled the onboard sound but still no luck. Has anyone managed to get this to work? I am currently using the so called Hi quality onboard sound but it's nowhere near as good as my dedicated card. Any help would be appreciated.

Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro and Inspire 5.1 Digital 5500

Hi!
Why can't i connect this digital speaker system to the external connection box of the Audigy 2 ZS? I've tried the optical as well as the coax-connection. When i run the surround soundtest in the Creative software it only gives me stereo sound in front left and right speaker.
It only works when i connect the speakers by analog connection directly to the soundcard, but then the volume settings for WAVE-sound in the Creative control panel has to be reduced to almost nothing if i wish to keep my ears.
If these speakers are'nt supposed to use digital connection....then WHY CALL THEM DIGITAL?

Creative Entertainment Center works with Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro

Creative doesnt seem to hav plans to release Entertainment center for Audigy 2 ZS. But theres a way to install and use Entertainment Center with AUDIGY 2 ZS Platinum/Pro. I first installed the Audigy 4 Modded PAX drivers for Audigy2 ZS with all softwares(i downloaded Audigy 4 ISO) , Then i uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled Audigy 2 ZS drivers , and again installed Entertainment Center, Guess what now Audigy 4 doesnt prompt me that i dont have the required HARD WARE before installation starts, and i can install ny Audigy 4 software(nothing much new though , only Entertainment center and Smart Recorder). and i am now enjoying ENTERTAINMENT CENTER with my Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro and with Audigy 2 drivers!!!!.
I think its not proper on part of CREATIVE not to release Ent. Center for Audigy 2, as the IO box and remote control of Audigy 2 and Audigy 4 are the same( RM-500 remote). so wats the point in keeping Ent. Center just for Audigy 4 and Up?

Just set your software DVD player to SPDIF output and make sure the A2ZS is set for SPIDF decode.

Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro Prob

Recently I've purchased the Creative Power Pack Pro 7., it included the Creative GigaWorks 7. S750
speakers, and Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro soundcard. I've installed my Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro card and setup my Sound Blaster GigaWorks S750 speakers but so far after many attempts haven't gotten them to work. I've tried all updates off the Creative site and gone through the cards settings. For some reason in the speaker settings it only lists Headphones, 2., 4. and 5. speaker settings, leaving out 7.. I've checked all plugins and hookups, and am stuck for now. I have a brand new Sony Vaio computer, so i know that my computer is not the problem. I read through all the forms and I was only able to find one other question like mine, one person answered saying that the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro is not compatible with 7. speakers. I have no clue why Creative would sell the Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro and GigaWorks S750 7. speakers if they are not compatible with each other. Someone please help me. Thanks.

Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro Drivers

Hi everyone
?As I?m writing this, I?m losing my sanity. Never in my life a computer hardware has created this much problems for me as this card has. I have Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro and yesterday installed a 32 bit Windows XP professional again on my PC. I installed all my drivers and finally got to the Sound Card. I have serious problems with the drivers that are on the CD; if I only install the drivers from there, every time I click on EAX my computer restarts. This was a problem that I had since I bought this hardware 3 years ago. Last time (which was couple of month ago) I found an updated driver in creative website and everything worked fine until I re-installed my windows but I can't find that driver anymore.
?
First let me say finding drivers for this Sound card in creative support section is an absolute nightmare. Nothing is where it should be. The section doesn?t even have my sound card in their sound blaster list. What a joke.
?
As of yesterday, I have been unable to find any drivers for this product; nothing. I don?t have sound on my computer and if I go with the original CD installation my computer crashes.
?
Finally after searching through the forum (do I seriously have to search the forum to find drivers?!!) found a driver called ?SBAX_PCDRV_LB_2_8_000.exe? but my god that is even worse! Nothing works after the update. I don?t have any sound on my computer. EAX and other functions are not working. It gives one error after another. I can't even click on them.
?
I don?t know what else to do. I want to break this sound card to pieces but I paid 320 dollars for it. I know I?m screwed and stuck with this ?thing? but please, if anybody has a driver or knows where I can find the drivers, post a message here. I just want to listen to music on this 300$ sound card. Why did I buy this is what I?m asking myself right now. I?m going insane.
?
?

Oh man, thank you thank you thank you! I could kiss you if you were here! After month and years of having problem with this card I can finally listen to what I want with no pain.
?
Thanks again

My problem - and this I explained even to creative - is that I had to build a support/call center for a small telephone company. Everything just fine and cool with soundblaster under WinXP Pro. Now they want me to change ALL stations to Vista!?BUT I cant get the microphone on a testing enviroment running! Feeling really stupid after 22 Years in these branche. Is there ANY workaround available? You would help me a lot. Thank you for any support. Juergen
