Problems With Sound Blaster Audigy: New Sys

I just received my new computer from Dell:
Pentium D 3.0ghz
Geforce 7800 GTX 256mb
2 GIGs ram
Windows Xp Prof x64
SoundBlaster Audigy
My problem occurs in my game called Nascar Racing 2003 Season. The sounds play fine, however when It comes time to load more 3dimensional sounds (like cockpit), the sounds turn into a high pitched buzz, and then freezes my computer so that not even ctl-alt-del works. Sometimes this happens when exiting the game as well, and my system does a complete memory dump and then shows this file: ctoss2k.sys..
I've reinstalled the drivers, the game, and I'm out of ideas. I don't have any other games to test this one, but I've run the Dell diagnostics and run the dxdiag for the sound and it passed with flying colors. If nothing can be done here my next idea is getting on the phone with Dell and having them fix my new computer!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
P.S. On my last computer I had Sound Blaster Li've! and that worked perfectlyMessage Edited by mciarlo on -0-2005 04:05 AM

Noticed your setup (XP PRO 64)
Correct me if Im wrong but I dont think there are drivers for 64bit yet Right?

Problems With Sound Blaster Audigy 2

The Problem that I'm having is this:
Every time that i bring up the volume console to do whatever, once i move the mouse cursor into the window, my computer either restarts or locks up. Now I have tried over and over again to update all drivers and software for this sound card. Even thinking that it might be a compatibility issue with other cards (video, wireless) i updated their drivers as well. Doing so made me run into other problems, like opening up office Word, just locks up. I never had these problems before at all until i installed this sound card. Now, the card works perfectly! Sound comes out in all respecti've ports and microphone and line in works as well. Its the software that I cant seem to use. I just don't understand why, this is a brand new card with its own software. But to add lastly to this, I formatted hard dri've, installed Windows XP home, then immediately afterwards i installed the drivers and software for the sound card and it worked like nothing was wrong at all, software and all. But once i installed my video drivers and software, either the sound card software didn't work or the operating system would lock up right after the splash load screen. Please, can someone let me know anything that i can do to fix this problem! It's been very bothersome and annoying as all! Thank You.

Alright, I once again formatted the hard dri've. This is what i've done:
Windows XP Home w/SP
All Motherboard Drivers
Disabled On-Board Sound
Installed Audigy 2 ZS Drivers and Software
Removed Wireless Card and Video Capture card
And all Windows OS updates
Direct X 9.0c
But what i haven't done yet is installed the drivers and software for the video card. I have a ATI 9800 XT 256mb AGP card, getting updated drivers for the card is not a problem. But I also didn't install service pack 2 yet either. im trying to figure what is really causing the problem now. But as of now, the sound card and software is working properly. thats pretty much where i stand now, so if there is anyone out there that might now what i can do from here, or what should i NOT do, please let me know!
Thanks again

Error with Sound Blaster Audigy 2 installation...driv

Hi
I am really stuck with this issue and was wondering if someone out there could help. I have an Audigy 2, and have had it working for a long period of time. I had to re install Windows not so long ago and since then I have found a number of errors with my sound.
Firstly there are a lot of pops and clicks when either gaming or playing audio files. Admittedly the pops and clicks happen a lot more when gaming (multiple sounds playing at once ?).
Therefore I decided to come onto creatives site and download the new drivers for my sound card. I was still running the original drivers from the CD supplied, so felt it was about time.
I downloaded the file SBA2_PCWDRV_LB__84_55-R, which is the correct update for my card and tried to install it.
It comes up with a message:
Setup could not detect and Sound Blaster Audigy 2 on you system.
Please ensure that your sound blaster hardware is properly installed before running this setup program.
setup will not exit
After that message i was a little confused, because as far as I was concerned everything was working ok, sound was coming out and was coming out correctly from my 5. surround system.
So i double clicked on the Creative Volume Control to check everything was on.
I'm not sure if this is an error but a long the top where you select the output device mine says:
SB Audigy [A000]
I'm not 00% sure but I don't think it said that before, I think it said something else, but I could be wrong.
I decided to uninstall my sound card and re-install. Everything installed absolutely fine from the CD, recognised the card and no complaints.
So I tried to re-install the driver update, and same message. (And the output device is still SB Audigy [A000].
Again I uninstalled and tried the Beta patch on the off chance that that would work, still nothing, it does not recognise the card in my computer.
I definately have an Audigy 2 and it has worked properly allowing me to update it before.
Sorry to have such a long message, but I am really confused about all of this and would really like to get everything working properly.
Any advice and help would be appreciated.
Thanks

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?

Everything seems to be OK so it's propably the drivers for your modem that is causing the issue. Just try if updating them helps anything.
Also, you can turn the MPU-40 (onboard MIDI/Game port) if you dont need it.

Capturing laserdisc AC3 signal with Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum

I'm considering converting my laserdisc collection over to DVD.
As far as PC hadware is concerned, I have the ATI All-In-Wonder 9800 Pro and the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro.
My system in a 3.2G P4 on a Intel D875PBZ board w/ 2Gig of memory. Connected are 3 dri'ves, (2) 250G SATA dri'ves and () old 250G IDE dri've that I keep archi'ves on.
The laserdisc player has the following:
AC-3 Bit Stream / PCM Optical Output AC-3 Bit Stream / PCM Coaxial Output PCM Coaxial Output
I was planning to use the optical input of the soundcard but was unsure what to use to capture the digital stream to capture the entire surround channel info. Normally audio is captured as an uncompressed WAV and then converted to AC3 which to me is a wasted step since it's only going to wind up as AC3 again
I've used Virtual dub in the past to capture TV broadcasts, but I seem to be at a loss on this current venture. Any assistance will be great

Alright, let me just double check...
As long as the output from my laserdisc is 48K then things should work fine and I should receive the entire unadulterated stream, no data padding or modification. If it's not 48k then it won't. This is as long as I save it as 2. PCM audio stream
The audiobitrate for AC3 should be at 384k, and this will be preserved using the above method?
From what I'm reading, this unprocessed stream should sound like white noise. Once processed by cooledit , Soundforge or besweet I should have the DD 5. soundtrack intact and not a 2 channel AC stream?
Sorry if I am rephrasing things but I just want to be absolutly certain when I start this project .

Problems with Sound Blaster PCI 128 at Wi

Hello,
I've a Sound Blaster PCI 28 Sound Card from Creative. I never had any problems with it when I was using it at WinME. But now I had to install WinXP Prof (incl. SP + SP2) for using some new programs and the soundcard doesn't work at all there.
The card is shown at the device manager at "Other/Unkown devices" as "Audio Controller for Multimedia". I downloaded some drivers from the archi've of the creative homepage witch were said to be for this card used at WinXp. Here are the links for this drivers:
For example:
http://de.europe.creative.com/support/downloads/download2.asp?MainCategory=&Product=864&dlcentric= 843&Product_Name=PCI+28&OSName=Windows+XP
http://de.europe.creative.com/support/downloads/download2.asp?MainCategory=&Product=864&dlcentric= 255&Product_Name=PCI+28&OSName=Windows+XP
http://de.europe.creative.com/support/downloads/download2.asp?MainCategory=&Product=864&dlcentric= 976&Product_Name=PCI+28&OSName=Windows+XP
But none of this drivers can be installed. When I start the installation after some time of loading there appears an alert with says:
"Setup wasn't able to find a Sound Blaster Audiocard on your system. Please make sure that your Soundblaster hardware is installed correctly before starting the setup. Setup will finish/exit now."
Does anyone know how to get this card running on WinXp?
Does anyone know some alterati've drivers witch could be suitable for this card and WinXP?
Thx for help!

Go back to the download link and download the Waveset file. After which, follow the steps from this Knowledgebase article SID930 to install the waveset.

5.1 problems with Sound Blaster L

Hello all!
I am having problems with my new 5. setup. I have the Logitech X-530 5. system with 5 satellites (Front: L/R/C, Rear: L/R) and what I believe is a Sound Blaster Li've! 5. card. The model number on the card is CT4780 and it has fi've ports on the back (plus MIDI).
I connected the ports by color and only the Front L/R and sub work. I unplugged Black/Orange, and everything still works. I swapped the orange/black, still nothing. I updated the Windows profile to be 5. surround instead of 2 speakers, that doesn't work. I updated the Creative Labs drivers, that didn't do anything.
I am only getting sound from Front L/R and sub, nothing from Center and Rear R/L. All the connections are secure and in their correct places. I have rebooted 0 times, that didn't do anything.
I am totally lost. Does anyone have any pointers?
[edit]: I am trying to get the sound out of Winamp. I have "Hardware Acceleration" on and have tried everything. The DirectSound plugin shows that only two channels are being used.

I tried resetting the card AND the this:

Nothing worked.
Please help! I am using the Logitech X-530 speakers.

Problems with Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 and a freshly reformatted windows 98se

Hello.
Lets get right down to business shall we? I've recently reformatted my computer and reinstalled the somewhat outdated OS windows 98 second edition. I've only recently managed to get my network card and modem working with my refreshed machine again but now I'm having problems getting my sound card (Sound Blaster Li've! 5. Digital) working again too. Its as if the computer CAN'T recognize the fact that there is a sound card inserted into the port. What do I do?

Try the card in another PCI slot to see if it will pick it up then.
Which model is this exactly (like Li've 5. Player, Li've 5. Digital, or another)? Do you know which model number is printed on the card?
It's possible the card doesn't have Windows98 support, newer cards do not support that Operating System so it may not have drivers on the CD for that OS.

Sorry for my english, im portugueseMessage Edited by soundblaster99 on 09-0-2006 03:54 PM

Here's a link on how to use Add/Remove software in Control Panel. After removing the software, remove the soundcard from the computer and reboot. If that boot has no problems, then put the soundcard back in the same slot or a different slot and reinstall.

You don't say what drivers your using.
2 threads to look at are http://forums.creative.com/creativel...ssage.id=25677 for drivers, and http://forums.creative.com/creativel...scending&page= for something that might help.You have a SB0228 according to that prefix.

Problems with Sound Blaster Live! 1024 and Windows 2000 Profession

Hello everybody, and thank you since now for your help and support.
Please, forgive my english (I'm italian) not so good, but I hope you can understand me the same.
I have a Sound Blaster Li've! 024, and so far everything works fine with Windows 98 SE, but lately I have installed Windows 2000 Professional on my PC, and now nothing works.
Nothing, neither the softwares, they don't even start!
Here is what I tried so far:
- First, I tried to install the old version of the programs, the ones that I had in the CD-ROM when I bought the sound card. At this point, I couldn't even uninstall the softwares!
- Then, I tried to update the drivers, but it seems that they're already updated when you install Win2000, and the uninstallation didn't works yet.
- At last, I have downloaded the new software pack, Li'veDrvUni-Pack.exe, but nothing even so. But with this, at least, I was able to uninstall everything from the PC (even if not perfectly).
- Today, I tried to install only the new pack, Li'veDrvUni-Pack.exe, but still nothing works. When I start running the program (e.g. AudioHQ), I can see the hourglass for few seconds and then everything aborts.
Please, help me! What can I do? I really don't want to buy a new sound card, even because my SB Li've! 024 works perfectly until now.
Thank you very much for the attention and for your suggestions.

SB LIVE! 5. DIGITAL

I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!

Trew,
Did this card come preinstalled in your system? If so this may be an OEM model and you will need to contact the company you purchased your computer from for drivers for it. If this is not the case you may try moving the card to a different PCI slot and trying the install from there.

Problems with sound blaster live 24 b

Hello,
I have some problems with my sound because i'm using a 5. configuration of speakers it works perfectly but if i put my PC on hibernate for example, when i turn it on the configuration changes an the program put the confguration on hearphones and so the sound is very bad. I don't know why it changes alone.
I have a sound card Sound Blaster li've 24 Bits.
Could somebody help me?
Thanks.
Message Edited by dolu on 07-28-2005 :36 AM

dolu,
Your post isn't very clear. When you come out of Hibernate, is the configuration wrong? Or doesn't 5. work then?
Can you provide some more detail on what exactly happens, and also what kind of system (PC) you have.

Problem with sound on my new Satellite L655-1FO

Hello
I bought a new Toshiba Satellite L655-1FO before 5 days , I install all driver on XP an my sound work ok , but today I connect my headphone and I didnt hear sound like music just some scratch sound and when I disconnect my headphones , there was no more sound from my PC .
I restarted but the problem stay. Whats happen with my pc , is it broken?
I need to know because I have 7 days to back it and get new or to contact with service?
Thanks

You must understand that nobody here can say for sure if something is broken or not. We an just speculate what the problem can be.
I recommend you to install WXP one more time to see if this issue will be fixed. If not contact your local dealer and ask for replacement.
In the headphones port there is small switch that disable internal speakers when external speakers are connected. Maybe this switch stuck somehow. Who knows?

Recording with Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Value! ag

Alright, I've been trying to record from various instruments and devices... (synth with /4 inch stereo output to /8 inch convertor, cd player with /8 inch output, guitar to amp to /4 inch stereo output to /8 inch convertor)Basically, I want to record in stereo sound.) Does line-in on the SB Audigy 2 Value card have stereo input? Whenever I've tried to record, I have only been getting the left channel. 2) Where's the game controller / midi input? Do I have to purchase the optical digital i/o 2 add on? And if I do, will this even work with the Audigy 2 value? 3) Does the SPDIF work as a stereo input for any of the devices I've been trying to record from at all? or does it require the I/O device I just mentioned?Thanks in advance,Tyler Pantella

You just can't record analog mono instruments as stereo without a stereo microphone.
If you mean to record a signal which 'stays in the middle' and not 'panned left or right' then you need
- mono to L+R (stereo) convertor adapter
or
- mono to R+L (stereo) cable
between (pre)amplifier output and soundcard input.
Note: Normally instruments are recorded mono --> easier to set instrument positions in final stereo mix.
) yes it is stereo
2) no game/midi on Value. Purchasing Digital I/O won't make any difference to this.
3) dunno, see yoyr user manual
