SB Audigy 2 ZS Prob

I am having problems finding out how to configure it so I can get sound through my headsets, and also talk to people through my mic on programs such as ventrilo. Any help with configuring this to get it to work would be very much appreciated. Thanks,???

That didn't work. I have sound, but it isn't "crisp and clean," like it used to be before I reformatted. The only way I can get sound is if on the speaker control on Creative Mediasource is if it is set to 7. speakers, no other way, and in a headphone port way over from where I usually have it. The sound seems really mixed up in games like CS/CoD, and really lengthy. Also, I still cannot use my microphone. If there is anyway you know to set up everything to have it work properly, through mediasource/etc, please share any information. Thanks!

Audigy Player + DTT3500 prob

Hi there
Since this week i got a problem with my Audigy Player.
Everytime i test my boxes with the Surround Mixer, i can hear the voice from the front boxes, but from the center and the rear boxes you can hear nothing...
It seems to be a software problem, because all satellites working fine...
I searched this forum and I fond one guy, who had exactly the same problem one year ago :

Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Recording Prob

I recently re-installed my audigy, and for some reason I cannot get any sound when I plug my guitar into the Line-In on the front. I check the recording/playback setting, and everything seems to be ok. I'm wondering if it might be a problem with the hardware. Any thoughts?

Dee,
If the card came supplied with the PC, then you may need to contact Dell to get specific drivers or applications for it.
Is the card working correctly now? Is it listed in Device Manager, with no error messages? What did you use to reinstall, was it a CD, or a driver? If it was just a basic driver pack, then it's likely that doesn't include any extra applications.

Audigy 2 driver prob

Got this huge problem with the drivers for my audigy 2 card. Just formatted my dri've, clean WinXP install and threw in the latest drivers from this page (includes creative audio console). My problem, I get seriously crappy sound from my center speaker (really low, cant hear voices in movies), and neither can I install the surround mixer, EAX console or the Speaker setting program (which I wanna use to see if my fronter is working allright). I've had lots of trouble with the drivers before (subwoofer not sounding when I config my speakers, drivers just stopped working twice etc etc). I've run the automatic update tool here and it doesnt do me any good. Starting to piss me off, cant install the **bleep** tools, it says "Setup did not detect the required components." when I start the installer, and in that crappy "Audio Console" I cant do anything... Before when I was using Win2k (way better than xp, btw) I had this nice tool (blue window, could manage everything, surround mixer, speaker settings etc), the Audio Console just isnt ANYTHING like it. Using a set of Logitech Z-5300 if thats of any importance ... But even if its my speakers that are faulty, I should at least be able to install the tools to check! I've reinstalled the card several times, no luckMessage Edited by Wortex on 2-02-200606:48 PM

You need to install all software from Creative CD, bundled w/ your card.
If you don't have the CD, check, if BadBoy has this CD in his collection - http://badboy.filefront.com/

Audigy 4 mic prob

I cannot get my Sennheiser PC50 mic to work with my audigy 4 sound card in games like CS: Source. No matter what plug I put the mic into it does not work with CS. I can record things in the the EAX console if I use line-in /MIC plug and I have to turn up the volume on the mic with the knob on the right side of the I/O hub. But cannot get it work in games. Anyone know what to do? This is driving me crazy because now I have an expensi've sound card that will not let me do simple things that onboard sound will let me do without any effort.

I beli've you mean this from Steampowerd.

Sb audigy 2 value prob

Im having trouble installing the software for this soundcard. Ive downloaded all the new software available but i get the same error when trying to install. "Setup could not detect any sound blaster audigy 2 on your system", however my system detects an audio device. How do i go about correcting this?

Could you explain what you mean by you purchased it OEM?
Did it come with another computer or you bought it pre-owned from someone else's branded PC?

Audigy 4 / Network Prob

I am running a Tyan Thunder K8WE mother board and have 2 7900GTX running in SLI, so they cover the only standard PCI slot so i cant use that (the fans take up a slot to themselves).
My only other options are the PCI-X slots (not PCI-E as thats where the 7900s are) at the bottom of the board. When i plug the card into either of these my oboard network stops working. As soon as i take the card out, my network starts again. I am running Windows XP 64 so i cant change any IRQ settings untill i turn off ACPI, but i have been told if i turn off ACPI, i cant run dual CPUs. Ive gone through these forums, Nvidia's forums (as the board uses nvida dri'ves for the network) Tyans forums and as yet i havent found a solution.
I have changed the bios to only have on what i need and there isnt an old driver issues as i refortmatted and reinstalled after disabling the sound in the bios so the old sound hasnt been installed.
I have read similar posts on these forums about the cards disabling onboard networks, but none have any solutions so i thaught id try.
If i have been missinformed and can run dual CPUs with turning ACPI off, then that means i can change the IRQs and see if thats the problem.
Any help / suggestions are welcome as i've spent a while on this so far trying to get it to work, if it takes too much longer im goin to take it back

What happens, if you release more resources by disabling Floppy Controller, COM and the other Network Bus Enumerator (bolded on upper IRQ list)? If no effect w/ the st Network Bus Enumerator then swap to the other.

Audigy 4 feedback prob

I used to have a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz card and I recently switched to an Audigy 4 . (I got the SE version or OEM version - whatever you want to call it) With the old card I would open 2 instances of cool edit and have a file playing in one instance and record it in the other. I had my speaker output running through a compressor then back into the computer in the line in input so I was playing the wave file in one instance and record the line in on the other instance . This always worked fine. With the new card when I do this , if there is no sound coming into the input I get feedback . Once I start to play the wave file it records normally and when the wave ends the feedback starts again. I did notice that with the TB card in play properties I could mute the line in and in record properties I selected line in , but with the Audigy if I mute line in in the play properties it won't record. It's not really a big deal except I get this feedback until I open play properties and mute the line in when I'm done recording. I was wondering if anyone else had this happen or if my card is possibly faulty ? Thanks. I thought I would add I can play and record at the same time without a problem as long as the line in isn't involved . It's only sending the wave out of the computer and back into the line in and recording it from there that I get the feedback.

Audigy 2 ZS prob

I installed my Audigy 2 ZS sound card and it has some problems.
I first noticed the problems when Skype said that my audio settings were not configured correctly. I looked in the sound and audio devices in the control panel and found that the Audigy 2 ZS was not selected as the default device for any of the options, and in fact was not even shown as an option in any of the lists.
I ran the diagnostics test and it says that the Wave, Midi, Mixer, and Mixer Settings tests failed.
What could be the cause of these problems?
Thanks for your help, and sorry for the probably noobish question.

Have you try reinstalling the driver? Follow the steps in this Knowledgebase article SID72 especially the part on using the CTZAP software.

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.

Audigy LS freezing prob

While I am playing Half Life 2, my game always freezes up with a looping sound. I know for fact that it is the sound card because when I turned off my sound card in the game, the game ran flawlessly. How can I fix this problem so I can play the game and have sound without it freezing up?

I never have had a freezing problem when i played half life 2 with my Audigy LS and that was when i had my old AMD Athlon XP 700+ w/ my Asus A7n266vm motherboard and a Radeon 9200. I don't think drivers are at fault.

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.

Audigy 2 value prob

I have disabled onboard sound, removed the drivers then put my card into a pci slot. I installed installed all of the programs multiple times and moved pci slots but the drivers will still not work (obiously i restarted).
In device manager under sound, video game controlers it has the lovely yellow circle with the exclamation point showing that the device is not configured properly for the creative audigy audio processor (WDM).
other listed installed devices under sound/video and game controllers:
-audio codecs
-creative audigy audio processor (WDM) with yellow circle and exclamiation point
-legacy audio drivers
-legacy video capture devices
-media control devices
-compatiable midi device
-standard game port
-video codec
also when i run the diagnostic everything fails besides the hardware detection.
failed tests:
wave, midi, mixer, direct sound 3d, sound font, mixer settings
of course the 'begin fix' button doesnt work, it recommends i reinstall which does not work.
I'm using windows 2k with sp 4 and i have a asus mother board. I checked for updates but the one is not relevent to my problem. I also did not connect the sound card to my dvd dri've which I do not care to do at the moment, I just wish for my speakers to work on them.

:mansad: Similar problem as plainwlkr8 including the exclamation thingy in the device manager. I also tried disabling each one one the other sound devices listed with no result - I am running xp sp2 intel 95 and 6600gt pci express video card all which has the latest drivers (as in its only two weeks old). Each time i ran the install cd it completely locked the machine up after it got thru running instalshield. The only way out was to pull the plug on it - than after it kept locking up on reboot - thankyou Mr Gates for the ablity to run last known working config and System Restore.
Pulled the card back out tried a different slot. No change. tried letting windows instal the hardware and drivers no change.
The only hint of help that I had was under device manager it was showing a code 0 which I dont seem to be able to find any meaningful info about.
Sorry plainwlkr8 i am no help just in the same predicament - Did you disable any virus and/or firewall programs?

Creative SB Audigy 2 ZS prob

Hi.
I got a Creative SB Audigy 2 ZS.
My system is:
- XP Pro;
- 4GB Ram
- AMD Athlon 64
- Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe
I installed a new OS and the driver for the Audigy 2 ZS I downloaded from the web site.
My sound does work in games like CSS or WoW.
It doesn't work in Skype, Windows sound recorder, etc.
In Teamspeak I can hear people talking but cannot talk.
In the Windows device manager it shows that the driver for the Audigy 2 ZS is installed and that it works properly.
In the sound and audio devices properties the system doesn't see the Audigy 2 ZS.
Can anyone help me please.

Hi!
I appreciate the URL, but that is not what I was looking for.
I have that help files already. Also my unit is not the platinum.
I just have the card, and the picture I need is a closeup of the
rear bracket, so I can see, upside down, exactly what each connector is.
On most sound cards they are colour coded, and IF this one is, it is not visible.
And I have trouble seeing anyway ... OLD eyes LOL!
A few years ago there was an awesome full color, closeup, detailed photograph,
not a drawn picture on the net, somewhere, and I should have saved it then ...
The best laid plans! OH WELL!
