How To Restore Audigy Platinum ex Surround Mixer EAX Default Environments, e

Does anyone know how to restore the default Surround Mixer Environments (such as Cathedral, Ballroom, etc.), Advanced EQ, and Special Effects without doing a reinstall of all the Creative software?
Some unknown application on my system is somehow "deleting" those default items and none of them appear in the Surround Mixer. The Surround Mixer itself works, only the default EAX items are missing.
If I knew what files/links that information was being stored in I could make sure my backup includes those items. Having to go back and reinstall from the CD and then applying all the updates is getting to be a real nuisance, especially since I haven't determined yet what is causing the problem.

Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum ex

I had a similar problem with XP Home/Audigy Platinum Ext - some inputs on the Li've Dri've not showing up in Sonar 4, Li've Dri've MIDI ports not working at all. I had to reinstall the card from scratch three times before it all got back to normal (because I did not fully unistall the drivers !) Sorry, I don't know the cause of this problem, but in my case reinstallation cured it.
Good luck.

Audigy 2 ZS - Surround Mixer - REC setting greyed

Hi! I can't select my sound input device in the surround mixer anymore. Here is a picture:
<img alt="mixer" width="500" src="http://img95.imageshack.us/img95/09/mixeriq.jpg" height="302" title="mixer">
As you can see the slider is greyed out. My microphone works just fine, but I cannot adjust the volume anymore.
I'm using Windows XP, I recently installed Skype and TeamSpeak (checked both programs, the input settings are NOT on "automatic", so the Creative Surround Mixer should be where I adjust the input volume)
I can use the windows settings to select another recording device and adjusting the volume also works, but I want to use the creative mixer, this worked in the past and I want it back
Any ideas? Maybe I'm missing something important.

Hmm no but I reinstalled the latest driver (7 Jul 08)
http://de.europe.creative.com/support/downloads/download2.asp?MainCategory=&Product=495&dlcentric= 058&Product_Name=Audigy+2+ZS&filetype=&OSName=Wind ows+XP
Is that one bugged? Should I downgrade to the driver on the CD?

Install Surround Mixer separat

so I just downloaded and installed the latesat drivers for my Audigy 4 (SBAX_WBUP2_LB_2_09_006.exe), and I found that the tray icon (with the Speaker Settings, EAX Console, Surround Mixer and stuff) was missing. Apparently it's not bundled in the downloadable drivers
how can I get these back? I tried popping in the Driver/Apps disc and install every app separately, but it only gives me an error message (error -6003). If I choose "Install Audigy 4" from the Autoplay I guess it will also install the older drivers, and override the new ones?
The only thing I have now is the AudioConsole, which lacks some of the features I want (such as Bass Redirection)

Cirap,
No Custom tab? What did you see there? Did you at least see a Modify or Add tab? If you can see those, you can use that.

Audigy 2 - EAX-Console crashes everyti

Hi,
I own the Audigy 2 ZS and have some trouble with the EAX-Console.
When I want to change some settings there (CMSS f.e.) the software just hangs up.
Like 80% of the time and I am not able to restart it, until I do a reboot.
I have the latest drivers, so I tryd that already.
Any suggestions?

I am having the same problem as you guys, I have Audigy2 ZS retail and everything was working fine until I got Silent Hunter 3. It was suggested I re-install the soundcard drivers/software so I tried that. Now my EAX console, Graphic Equalizer, surround sound mixer, creative speaker settings will not open. I've also tried a system restore, uninstall, re-install using the cleansweep method, drivers from disk and online got all updates. I've repeated this four or fi've times and Still nothing. When I tried to open the EQ an error pops up that says nothing in it except a red X. EAX console says "no components registered".
I hope I don't have to re-install Windows just to get this soundcard software working properly agian.
Thanks

Where is my EAX CONSOLE on AUDIGY 2 in Windows Seven 64bit??

?as i said, i really need eax console to increase or decrease volume of any of ma speakers. CREATIVE please help me to find solution. Sometimes i need [color="#ff0000"]concentrate all of sound to one speaker ex. rear left whiteout eax console i can't do that.
I buy AUDIGY 2 to have a nice sound and to use all of its features but whiteout proper software and programs is is worse than my nvidia sound on mother bard.
regards and waiting for your soon reply with an solution

Hello jmacguire,
I read your hint above a few weeks ago and then bought a used Audigy 4 Pro card with the intention to use it under Windows 7 x64 (because of missing features in the X-Fi software regarding EAX; compare my thread over there).
Your hint (copying the three files in the EAXCon setup directory) together with Daniel K.'s newest v3.8 Audigy Support Pack worked and I could successfully install EAX Console on Windows 7 x64. I used the same trick to install things like Surround Mixer from the original CD, too.
The driver itself works. The problem is, as soon as I start the installed Creative applications, they either immediately quit with "no supported hardware found" or show up with a GUI, where nearly everything is deactivated; cf. the following screenshot. Only the speaker settings seem to work correctly/as in XP:
How can I get back the functionality like editing EAX profiles, CMSS selection, ... in W7x64. Considering even Creative published a new Audigy series driver on 9th April 2010, which explicitly supports Windows 7 x64, there must be a way to get the software for this card running again, must it not?
Please help me, if you can. Thank you,
orthoceros.

Graphic EQ/Surround Mixer/Soundfont Manager for Audigy 4

When I originally got my Audigy 4 SE OEM version, I downloaded the driver and software for it from this website. The cd that came with it had only the driver, and I figured the site would have a more up-to-date version of that anyway. The package I downloaded included the driver, the soundfont bank manager, the surround mixer, the graphic equalizer, and other useful bits of software.
I recently reinstalled Windows, and when I re-downloaded the driver package, I discovered it now comes with only the driver itself and the Creative audio console. I searched the forums looking for others asking the same question, but only found people linking to ISOs of the install cds, and the only one that was for Audigy 4 wouldn't install for me. I'd like to know where I can find the full package, and also, why has all this software disappeared from the downloads section of this site?

you can try here but I don't know if it has the CD for your card.

No longer able to select speaker type in Surround Mixer (Audigy Platinum Win XP P

Hi, all. I have an Audigy Platinum. Normally I have no issues using my 5. speakers with this card; however, today I noticed my sound was "tinny" and the reason is that the surround mixer is locked on Headphones. I cannot click the arrow to change it to 5. surround or anything else for that matter. I've gone into Control Panel and unchecked the mute other speakers when headphones are plugged in option, but that hasn't seemed to help. Any other ideas?Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply. That did the trick.

Error when Installing Eax-console as part of Audigy support pack 3.6

<div class="lia-component-body lia-message-body">Hey there, out of nowhere I have the following problem:
I have used several versions of this audigy support Pack up to now, both in Windows XP and Windows 7 RC and all worked fine for me. Most recently I used 3.5 and 3.6 in both OS for a short time.
now I had to format my harddisk an have installed a clean version of Win XP SP3. I installed an update pack (winboard.org), the latest direct X and drivers for nvidia motherboard and videocard. Then, when I tried to install this support pack, I get an error messagge I-00 when eax-console should have been installed, something about CTengine being unable to be installed.
I read through many of the solutions here in the forum, since this error seems to be not so rare. But up to now, nothing helped. This is, what my install.log tells me:
[EAX Console]
GUID={5B7E626-7885-4FC3-A66A-73548A4F0FD}
Warning=I-008 CTRegSvr fails to register C:\Programme\Creative\EAX\Karaoke.exc.
[Common Audio Driver Interface]
GUID={700932B3-A964-4878-82A2-96054622AF7}
Warning=I-007 RegSvr32 fails to un-register C:\Programme\Creative\ShareDLL\CADI\ctcadi.dll.
All other install.log from the other parts of the pack contain no warning. Everything except the EAX-console works fine, if I try to start that, I get an error "No components are registered", an I don't have a "karaoke" register, but otherwise it works well, I can use the effects and cmss.
What the heck could I do?
I made an new thread, since nobody seamed to react to my post in the support pack thread.

HRe: Error when Installing Eax-console as part of Audigy support pack 3.6o What you have is a missing file, or perhaps your system is wanting to install direct X redistributable or something similar. Do a search on your system for install.log and when you find the newest one, or second to newest one, open it with notepad. It will tell you exactly what you are missing. I was trying to install some components for my Elite Pro and it said in the install.log that it could not find DXREDIST. So I copied a version I had to the installing program's folder and it worked!? So take a look at that log and see what is missing......write back with your results if you dont mind. In the original post I had seen the registration problems with components. You can manually run regsvr32 with the /? switch and see how to unregister that yourself and then try the installation again.
Cheers,

EAX Console Application encounters errors (cant use it) - Audigy 2 ZS

I bought my Audigy 2 ZS in late 2006 and i used to enjoy the EAX Console, but its always been flaky. Often I have to reinstall it from the CD and that is total crap. I have the latest drivers and the EAX console crashes on me. Where can I get the newest version?
EAX Console Application has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
The Creative Volume console works fine, but I used to like messing witht he EAX console while listening to music, its much better than all the crappy winamp plugins out there, but it seems I can no longer use it.

I'm on Windows XP Pro SP3. I dont see why the app breaks constantly. Even when I got it brand new it failed within a month or 2. The only way I've gotten it to work is to install the drivers and app off the cd constantly. And that is ridiculous. The new drivers shouldnt break anything either, maybe they can update the apps and put them online. So what if someone that doesnt have the soundcards can attempt to use them, I paid good money for my card, because I had creative soundcards that were very good in the past. I just wish the EAX console worked, winamp plugins suck compared to the Creative EAX [email protected]

Cant install EAX console on Audigy 1 Platinum

Just going to the folder and double clicking the setup wont work. But you can copy these files from the root directory of the folder to the EAX console folder and install just it.

/Re: Audigy 2 ZS and Surround Mixer in Windows 7? i got problem with recording any sound. Recorded sounds are terrible. Sometimes playing sounds are terrible too. i should restart pc for fix playing terrible sound.
i found 2 third-party driver but i didnt tried. Because of decription of 3rd-party driver ;
There is no DirectSound hardware acceleration on Windows XP 64-bit (x64)
The Audigy driver does not support 64-bit addressing, disabling the DirectSound hardware acceleration and causing multichannel sound to be played only in the stereo channels (front left/right).
Workarounds:
- install the 32-bit (x86) version of Windows XP.
- limit to less than 4GB the amount of RAM available to Windows.
- enable the ?Memory Hole? setting in the BIOS Setup, if your motherboard supports it.
Microphone issues on Windows 7/Vista 64-bit (x64) with 4GB?of RAM or more
Audigy driver does not support 64-bit addressing, resulting in random issues with the Microphone (static, robotic or distorted voice, white noise).
Workarounds:
- install the 32-bit (x86) version of Windows
- limit the RAM available to Windows to less than 4GB
- enable Memore Hole in BIOS Setup, if?your motherboard supports the setting
