Recording Music on Sound blaster Audigy/e

Any musicians/recorders have advice on getting good recordings using the audigy? Settings, or programs that work well with it, etc. RIght now I'm using acid music. I play mainly bass guitar, but I can't hear the full tone of the instrument as I did on a digital recording studio I purchased (and then returned). Pre-amp/EQ/compressor software or anything?

DarkJon64,
Creative Surround Mixer is the master volume control for most of our sound cards. This is included on the installation and application CD and should be installed by default. You can usually find it in the start menu section for your sound card.

  • Sound Blaster Audigy and STAL

    I've got the following problem. In game called "S. T.A.L.K.E.R" i can hear very lound sounds of shooting and very silence people conversations.
    I've got "Sound Blaster Audigy" and Creative Speakers.

    Hi,
    There are several choices if it comes to Audigy (emu0kx) drivers;
    First you can use the last official Creative Labs' driver for the Audigy series which you can download on the official driver download site here at Creative Labs' site, but you will loose a lot of apps/softwares, but it should work;
    The second one would be the mentioned Daniel_K's driverpack 3.8 for the Audigy series which works pretty good, although I dislike the individual installers/uninstallers for each applications which makes uninstallation of the driver very annoying.
    The third one would be the Project KX driver which is very light in size but very powerful, especially for recording and other music related purposes. There's a learning curve since it really looks different (interfaces for example), but once you have found out how the KX driver works you will be happy you own an genuine Audigy emu0kx soundcard.

  • Setup could not detect any Sound Blaster Audigy card on your system

    Hi from Barcelona!
    I've a Soun Blaster Audigy card (Model: SB0090)
    I tried to install the Audigy software and drivers from the original product CD but Setup was unable to find Augigy hardware and halted the installation!
    "Setup could not detect any Sound Blaster card on your system. Please ensure that your Sound Blaster hardware is properly installed before running this Setup program"
    By the way. Manually the sound drivers can be installed working only front speakers of the 5. Creative system
    I tried a clean installation of Windows XP and Windows 2000 PRO (reformatted the hard dri've) but Audigy install CD still could not find Audigy hardware.
    I've changed the card to a different PCI slot with the same results!!! Damaged?
    What is happening? I need a solution!! Many users have this problem to with other Sound Blaster cards and models...

    It seems to be an important BUG of Creative Sound Blaster Audigy cards related with EEPROM!!!
    Yes, indeed, that is my theory as well. After much ****hing and on-line research, it seems that this problem has been around since 2002. From Creative Labs point of view, it appears they view this as "pilot error" -- the user has installed the card in a system that is not fully compliant with the latest standards -- specifically Microsofts ACPI (configuration and power management). A wide variety of configurations and/or actions seem to cause the PCI subsystem ID in the Audigy EEPROM to be erroneously overwritten -- including certain older motherboards, certain older PCI cards, and perhaps other actions.
    Once the subsystem ID in the EEPROM is overwritten and has garbage information, many or all of the Creative applications cease working and various sound problems can arise. Attempts to reinstall the driver or update to the latest driver consistently fail becuase of the dreaded "Setup could not detect any Sound Blaster Audigy card in your system..." error message.
    There appear to be four fixes:
    ) Get a replacement Audigy card from Creative, but <EM>only</EM> after you perform their prescribed troubleshooting steps to prove that the card is indeed the source of the problem. Apparently, the steps include installing the card in another PC. Apparently, Creative in Europe is more willing to replace your card than Creative in the US. It's up to Creative Labs whether or not they issue you an RMA ("Return Material Authorization").
    However, this fix will fail if the root causes of the EEPROM error are not corrected. Apparently, Creative Tech Support isn't always a foolproof source of guidance, so the burden is on you. The root cause MUST be corrected before the new card is installed, or the same problem will happen all over again. Eliminating the root cause may involve replacing your motherboard, replacing other PCI cards, or manual configuration (disabling ACPI).
    2) Reprogramming the EEPROM. This is for advanced PC owners only, because it involves desoldering the EEPROM, programming it, and resoldering (and even lifting some pins to prevent reprogramming). There are instructions on how to do this posted in the German Creative Labs discussion board, by a Russian (!). I have links for those who are interested.
    3) Removing the Creative drivers and software (using Clean Sweep procedures and third party utilities), updating again using Windows XP SP2, then physically moving the card to different PCI slots (multiple times if necessary), until ACPI Bios writes the proper information into the EEPROM. You can then reload the drivers.
    Again, the root causes of the problem must be removed or your fix will only be temporary (a day or two). This solution also seems to be very dependent on the specifics of your system (motherboard, PCI cards, etc.).
    4) Some people have had success in by-passing the step in the driver installation process where they check for the Audigy card subsystem ID, using a utility called CTZAPxx on the installation CD. Then then manually install each of the applications they need to use.
    5) Use the open source driver from the kX Project (http://kxproject.lugosoft.com/index.php). This driver (and associated utilities) does not depend on the detailed configuration of the card (i.e. they don't check subsystem ID) and appear to work fine even with cards with corrupted EEPROM.
    This driver is aimed primarily at computer music applications, and opens up the on-card signal processing capabilities. The downside is that the Audigy 2 ZS does not have all of it's capabilities supported <EM>yet </EM>(e.g. Dolby Digital decoding, S/PIF passthrough, possibly some game sound features, THX, 24-bit recording, support for Hyperthreading CPUs, etc.). But scanning over the discussion boards, the user community seems to be MUCH happier with the performance and support associated with these drivers than with Creative's.
    This is the direction I'm going. I'm not a big gamer and I don't really care about the latest in home theater audio performance. Basic 5. surround sound is all I care about, and I'm much more interested in computer music capabilities.
    I have also lost faith in Creative Labs as a vendor to provide the support I want and need going forward. Just imagine if the Creative Labs were running the Space Shuttle program :smileysurprised:.

  • Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Microphone H

    Ok, I just bought a brand new Microphone, a Sennhesier pc-50 and a brand new sound blaster audigy 2 ZS. When i go to test my mic in a team-speak server of mine, the green button wont light up at all (meaning it wont work). The odd thing is, people in team-speak hear key clicks, my msn beeps, and music that i play, but not my voice. I've tried to switch the wires around while recording myself but it still wont work. I also looked to see if i placed my head phones in the right slot, and the mic in the right slot and it still wont work. The headphones are brand new, and work on another computer. Its just not working on this one. Please help

    Hello and welcome to the club. There are tons of use out here.. with the same problem.. Seems we have to sit tight.. they have not let us know a THING about our problem.. Whether or not they are looking into this or otherwise. No one has had the problem solved.. and if someone has and reads this .. LET US KNOW. At the moment, however, I have learned one thing based on this problem: Don't buy any more SB / CL Products!!!

  • Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum with Vista 64

    0Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum with Vista 64Y Hi
    I'm considering buying a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum (with front panel) off ebay, but first I'd like to know if certain features will be compatible with my system. I'm running Vista Home Basic 64bit (hardware is an Asus P5Q-E, Q6600, 2GB of RAM, ATI Radeon HD4850, etc). I'll be using this card for my PC's 5. surround sound system (using the stereo outputs), and more importantly, recording some music. I want to achieve this by using the optical S/PDIF port, as my bass guitar effects board has an S/PDIF output and I've got an S/PDIF cable. I'd also like to use the Line In and Mic inputs. The driver before the latest one for this card said that there was no S/PDIF passthrough for Vista. Has the latest driver got everything I need fixed, so I can just plug it in, install the drivers and then be happily recording through these three inputs?
    Thanks for the help?
    Message Edited by SuperMaximo on 05-22-2009 2:4 [email protected]

    I am brand new to this message system but I am so desperate for help I thought I would try it. After reading lots of comments I find that my problem may be more the rule than the exception. I have an Audigy @ Platinum card and all I ever get from it is crackling and popping. I have been around and around with Creative support but nothing they tell me results in a fix. I am so disgusted at this point that I am ready to just trash the whole thing. I have gone through the BIOS and checked so many settings its a shame. Still crackling and popping. I NEED SPECIFIC ANSWERS FROM SOMEBODY...not just the generic flip the wingle wangle to port xyz and move this to that. here has got to be an answer to this maddening problem. The other thing is that now I can't get my MIDI keyboard to play back. I must have turned something off in the set up process but now I have no idea what to do.
    If anyone has any solid answers for me PLEASE come forward with them before I kill someone!

  • Sound Blaster Audigy SE Driver Prob

    I have a problem with Sound Blaster Audigy SE,
    Im using newest from creative download site SBA_PCDRV_LB__04_006.exe drivers.
    After I turn on a game like ut2004, fear combat, even dxdiag (sound test) or pause sound in music/movie player system stops reacting or process "System" uses 95-00% of my CPU.
    After few tests I discovered with help of KrView (kernel view soft) that p7filt.sys uses such big ammount of cpu If in Speaker Settings, Bass Redirection and Subwoofer Gain (+5) is turned on. (5. speakers)
    I installed a bit diffrent version of drivers (from cd and even later I tested SBSE7_XP_Jul2005 additional driver). But then Subwoofer Gain option isnt working at all
    its written Subwoofer Gain (+0) and with sub gain +0 sound quality very poor like in AC97 audio.
    Ive also checked friends sound card on my pc and also i've tested exactly same thing on other computer.
    I have xp sp2 with updates, newest bios, directX, etc etc...

    OK..first of all the Audigy SE lacks any form of hardware acceleration, so turning on features like bass boosting/sound post-processing etc. will take away a lot of CPU time. The file you mentioned just acts as a software real-time filter, although it should not go up to the point of bringing a 2.4 Ghz Pentium 4 to its knees.
    The sound quality will be altered even with every "DSP" effect (quoted because there's no actual hardware DSP, it's just emulated in software) set to 0, as long as the "DSP is considered acti've.
    That's because the sound output is first converted from the time domain to the frequency domain (in poor words, the continuous sound wave you hear is broken down in many different frequencies like in those 80s ghettoblasters spectrum analyzers) because it's easier to amplify bass/treble that way, and then converted back to time domain (in even poorer words, a continuous sound wave you can hear/record/playback).
    It's obvious that doing that thing in real time has a CPU cost, and even more obvious that the procedure is lossy and the input will not be the same as the output even with no effect applied, as long as the this double conversion takes place.
    If you really need bass boost, turn any sound processing on the card OFF, and use speakers which have it. Also, if the CPU usage is abnormally high, try updated or a specific older version of the drivers that has more reasonable CPU usage/doesn't have that bug.

    However when I click on "playback devices", "Recording Devices" and "sounds" nothing comes up.
    What I did do is completely uninstall all traces of any installed Creative software and in the device manager did an uninstall for the SB Xtreme Audio Card.
    My recording device is the integrated microphone in the Logitech Quickcam/IM that I have installed. If I go to accessories and click on "sound recorder" it doesn't start up either.
    The other issue that I see is that when I go into Control Panel and click on Sounds, nothing happens.
    Something is definitely going on but I can't seem to track down the cause.

  • Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Probl

    Alright, so here's the scoop on my problem. I have a pre-built computer, an e-machines T4892 that I have been upgrading on my own. I added a Radeon 9800 PRO graphics card and that works just fine. Today for a late birthday present I got the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Sound Card I asked for. Before installing it I had the integrated audio of Realtek AC'97 Audio. I believe I removed those drivers but I'm not quite certain, I want to Add/Remove Programs and removed Realtek AC'97 Audio and it's now gone. Yet when I go into C:\Drivers\Audio the Realtek Icons are still there plus the Installation icon. So when I started up my computer after I put the card in, I bought this card from www.newegg.com by the way, the things in the bottom right hand corner that tell you you have new hardware popped up and all of that, it asked me to install from a specific location such as the installation cd or an advanced location, I clicked specific location because I put in the CD. It said it could not find it. So I just shrugged and went double clicked on the icon for the D: dri've and the autorun started. I installed the drivers and the Music player I forget the name. Everything was good, so I restarted my computer. When I log into my account (this is a shared computer) everything starts up fine except about 5 seconds later I look at my taskbar and Audigy.exe pops up and all of a sudden my computer restarts. I continued to log into my account and this kept on happening. So when I logged in for the last time I quickly did CTRL+ALT+DEL and went to processes, endeded audigy.exe and I was able to keep my computer on, this is currently how I am running. So I decided the audio driver was probably out of date so I went and downloaded the new drivers and restarted my computer. When I logged into my account, there's usually a windows sound that plays, that did not play, and 5 seconds later the computer restarted again. Plus when it restarted in the bottom right hand corner a little box would come up saying a Multimedia Audio Controller has been detected and it would come up and say Install the Software automatically (Recommended) and Install from a list or specific location (Advanced), before it would restart. So now I'm stuck with the problem of my computer restarting if I don't quickly end audigy.exe and I have no sound. If you could help me that would be great.

    I've been fiddling around in the Device Manager and it has Other Devices and under it is Multimedia Audio Controller, I can choose to either reinstall the driver udate the driver, disable it, or uninstall it. Here's what comes up on properties
    This device is not configured correctly. (Code )
    To reinstall the drivers for this device, click Reinstall Driver.
    Help would be appreciated here. I'm a big gamer and would like to have this up and running before our first CAL Match.

  • Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS - No Sound

    $Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS - No SoundP First let me start off by saying I've had this card (Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS) for a few years and it's always done this on my comptuer. It works fine on my parents' Dell. My motherboard is an Asus nI8-SLi. I'm running Microsoft Windows XP Home and meet all of the system requirements for sound card. The piece of junk sound card that was in the computer finally broke down and I would like to see if I can get the Audigy 2 ZS installed.
    I've tried installing the card from a fresh reformat, installing the card after reformatting and installing Microsoft Updates and I've tried a number of different drivers. I've also disabled the onboard audio in the BIOS.
    When I plug in my headphones it makes the familiar static noise you hear when you plug in headpones. Also, on the cord of my headphones you can mute and change the volume. When I do either of these I hear a bit of static until I stop doing it. However, when it comes to sound: music, games, voice chat, the annoying jingle during the Windows XP welcome screen, there is none.
    Please help!

    (Re: Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS - No Sound? Try this:
    This is a software package created by a user, Daniel K. which includes most all of the software updates as well as the newest or second to newest driver for your card. This will install everything you need to use that card.
    Even if you had the original install Cd, this package is better, as it fixes some of the original incompatibilites with the software and includes their newer versions as well.
    http://forums.creative.com/t5/Sound-...28/td-p/535299
    The package is great. It installs fairly quickly for a package of its size. I have used it myself for quite a while so I know that it works very well.
    After installation be sure that you have at least? a two speaker set plugged into the green jack on the back of the card. Sometimes people plug their speakers into the wrong jack and then feel they have no sound for an unknown reason.
