SB Audigy2 Value Card and Line

I recently installed this card in a radio studio computer which line-outs to the mixer board and has a line-in feed from the mixer's monitor.
The problem is in the Windows mixer. Turning on the line-in for recording does not receive any input. I have to turn on the line-in from the playback mixer, not the recording mixer. The end result is total feedback when the acti've line (ie: cd player) is brought up to 0db on the mixer board.
Any way so that the line-in is acti've from the record mixer in Windows XP? or do I have to install the extra sound blaster software to make it happy?

If I understand correctly, you're saying that because you have to un-mute Line-in playback, the Line-in is passing through to the Line-outs. If that's the problem you're describing, then my Audigy 2 ZS acts that way too. But in the Creative mixer, if I choose Line-in (included in "Analog mix" for the ZS), the red "+" above REC gives the option to "Record without monitoring," so that the input sound is not passed through to the Line-outs (e.g., speakers). For my A2ZS, the option also is available in the Windows Volume recording controls for Line-in on the Advanced button. See if you have an option like that (it might be worded differently), and if not, you might want to install the Creative applets if you haven't already and see if the mixer offers that option.Message Edited by Katman on 03-09-200605:58 PM

Audigy2 Value card corrupted my CD-Rom driv

Purchased a brand new Audigy2 Value sound card and installed it in my system (Dell Dimension 2400) along with the card's software from the CD. Earlier that day my system was working just fine and I was able to use my CD-Rom dri've and my CD-RW burner dri've as well. After I installed the new card and its software I was able to play MP3 files from my hard dri've and I was very happy with the great sound coming from my new sound card.
Later that day I wanted to play a CD to see how that sounded and that's when the trouble began... My computer no longer was able to access either of my two CD dri'ves. When I checked them out in my device manager it stated that their drivers were now either "corrupt or missing". Not hard to figure out how this occurred seeing as they functioned normally earlier that day before I installed the new Audigy2 and its software. I read the trouble shooting steps on the Creative Knowledge Base section and tried to follow the advice given for this type of problem but it was of no use. Phoned Creative support and the best the techs could suggest was to erase all of the Creative software and yank out the card and see if the dri've's come back. Didn't help. The drivers that operate the two dri'ves were still "corrupted or missing". Now my only option was to download new CD-Rom drivers from Dell.Com and try and get my CD-Rom back in action with new drivers. But... the new Dell drivers require that you copy them onto a bootable floppy disk to start the computer with so they will install properly with the system and its bios. Great, the Dimension 2400 does not come with a floppy dri've and Dell says there is no other way to install the new drivers except with a floppy disk which is hard to believe in this day and age of so many systems being sold without them. So now I can't reinstall the drivers to make my CD-Rom work and I can't use my master CD with the drivers because my CD dri've doesn't work. It's looking like I'll be purchasing a **bleep** floppy disk external just to try and get my system back to normal.
Just wanted to share this experience with other Audigy2 Value card owners or potential buyers. Great sounding card but certainly not worth this kind of trouble and pain!

if your using winxp, try the system restore feature. go back to the last restore point before you installed the creative drivers and see if that recovers your old drivers.
if that works, reinstall the creative drivers using the custom install and don't install any of the dvd stuff or any other program you don't need to run.

Audigy 2 Value card starting to

Well like clockwork, my second Audigy 2 Value card is starting down the path of death. I've had this second one for close to 6 months, and like the first one I had when it started dying, mysteriously changed the speaker settings from 5. to 2.. My first Audigy 2 Value card did this after about 4 to 5 months, and then popping and crackling came. I don't hold any breath that this, my second Audigy 2 Value card will hold the speaker settings and won't have popping and crackling sooner or later. I don't get this one bit, as I've just recently built a dual core AMD machine and here are the specs. ASUS A8R-MVPAMD Athlon 4200+ X22GB of PC3200 memoryATI Radeon X800XTSB Audigy 2 Value card20GB Western Digital SATA harddri've, & a 200GB Western Digital Serial ATA harddri'veLG 6X DVDROM, and an LG DVDREWRITERWindowsXP Service Pack 2 with all updates?I've checked, and I'm using the January drivers for my SB Audigy 2 Value card, and for all my other hardware, including the ULi serial ATA controller on the motherboard. I just can't figure out why after close to 6 months, that on my second Audigy 2 Value card, it has started dying like the first one. I'm about ready to bail out entirely on Creative Labs soundcards.

AFAIK, common PC mic inputs are mono, usually plus condensor power (I think it's tip=signal, ring=power, sleeve=ground). This doesn't make a stereo mic "useless," but you'd have to use only one of its signals and rig up an adapter of some sort to use one.
Perhaps you can enlighten me about what a stereo mic is by industry practices where they are commonly found? It is 2 mono mics in a package, or a mono mic with duplicated outputs (for connection convenience I suppose)?
A USB mic probably won't be well-integrated with use of the soundcard. Soundcard mic amps don't have the best reputation for quality. If you're serious, a better approach is probably to either use an external mic preamp, or a mixer mic input, and connect the preamp/mixer line-out to the soundcard line-in.

Problems with Audigy2 Value and CMS

I have an Audigy2 value sound card running on windows xp with sp2. My speakers are 4. Creative 4400. I installed the drivers that came along with the card and they work fine. The trouble is that unless I turn on CMSS 3D, I get sound only from the front left and front right speakers. Only if CMSS 3D is on does the rear channel activate.
This is very odd considering that I had a SBLi've! before this and I had no such problems with my speakers. I've tried tweaking the software but to no avail. Also tried reinstalling - but no change.
Please help.Message Edited by shadowfall on 0-06-2005 05:59 PM

You are a victim of the align to pixel grid option.
Starting in CS5 if when you chose a new document profile of web, that feature gets turned on. Select All and remove uncheck "Align to pixel grid".
Adiitonally uncheck Align New Object To Pixel Grid, so this does not come back when you draw new objects.
Now if you are working on a web image, then that option is good to have on, but work in units of pixels, and all should be better as long as you work in whol pixel numbers.

How to make the values of a combination graph (bar and line) visible always

Hi ,
I am using jdev 11.1.1.6
i have created a combination graph which has a bar and line.
The data with respect to bar and graph were only visible when i keep the mouse pointer on it.
i need to set the values visible always.
kindly let me know how to make it.
In pie graph its by default showing the data always.

Is there a sound card with a Microphone AND Line In jack on the boa

I have been looking through Creative's cards and it seems like they all share the Microphone and Line In on one jack. I need 2 separate jacks because I need to use both at the same time. I do not have a free dri've bay for a bay device either, so I need the jacks to be on the card itself.
Does Creative make a sound card like this? Or should I look somewhere else?

Line connection between PCI-6527 card and instrument

Sorry for my foolish. My poor electronic knowledge prevent me from fully understanding what you explained in your last reply and need more help.
In fact, we plan to control two instrument switchs, one is for the Magnetic_Suspension_Control(MSC) , another is for control the Weight-changing-Device(WCD).
The instrument manufacturer provide a cable for the MSC and WCD. The cable looks as follows: there is one connection to the computer(25-pin subD-plug) of which two cables lead away, one to the MSC(6-pin Lemosa)and the other to the WCD(15-pin subD-plug).
The interface of the MSC is internally realized by using only two simple optocouples(OC). Their input-pins are connected directly to the 25-pin SubD-plug of
cable as follwing:
25-pol.SubD; meaning
Pin 9 anode of OC1-LED
Pin 7 anode of OC2-LED
Pin 23 cathode of OC-LED
Pin 18 cathode of OC-LED
Because of the optocouplers draw some current from the NI-card, the manufacturer let me make sure that the NI-card can source circa 7mA(better 10mA) on each pin.
The interface of the WCD consists of three simple TTL-level inputs, which are also directly connected to the 25-pin SubD-plug of our cable as following:
25-pol.SubD; meaning
Pin 4 TTL-Input (remote) (0-1V/3.5-5V)
Pin 3 TTL-Input (weight 1) (0-1V/3.5-5V)
Pin 2 TTL-Input (weight 2)(0-1V/3.5-5V)
Pin 5 common ground
The current drawn by the TTL-inputs is not worth mentioning.
By controling the logic state of these above pin states through labview, I then can control the instrument switch.
Based on above information, how should I choose right resistor for achieving the suitable v
oltage and current on each pin and How should I connect line between PCI-6527 card and 25-pin sub-D plug(I plan to use port 3 of PCI-6527 card).
Thanks, your help is greatly appreciately

Zhou,
My best recommendation is that you find someone who can give you a better and more direct advise in electronic circuiting. We don't have in our hands the manual of your instrument in order to clarify what it needs and where, although you gave some pin numbers we cannot take the risk of advising something that we don't have the absolute knowledge of. We can give you all the details you want about our card and what does it gives, but you have to decide how are you going to connect it to your instrument. If you recall your email about the manual, in fig. 3-6 page 3-12 you can see a picture of how to connect a TTL driven device, in the last email we gave you an option of how to connect the resistor and where, please read it again, basically I am going to repeat the same, we feel sorry about not been able to give you more help, but is opt to you to find help in electronic theory. Remember in my last email that I told you the 3 cases in which your instrument may need either voltage, current or both, and I told you how RL will change and what new resistors you may need to connect. Review that and make tests with your switch, your question about how to choose the right resistor is answered in the previous email and how to connect lines between the board and the cable of your instrument you have both pin outs... match them... the person who has in his hands the manual and the instrument is the best person to choose how to interfase both appliances... we are sorry Zhou but if we advise you about pin connections of your device with our blindness we have of your device we may make a mistake, we told you about our pins and how to choose resistors.
If you need more direct assistance on this Zhou you may better try to call us, by text messaging is limited and this requires direct guidance. If you decide to call us you can find instructions at www.ni.com/ask hope you move forward in your application as soon as possible.

I need to move my Audigy2 sound card to another PCI slot and...

Hello everyone , hope everyone is doing well today. (and everyday!)
As the topic says I need to move my PCI Audigy2 card down slot , got a new BFG 6800 Ultra and need to make some room.
My question is how should this be done with as little trouble as possable , I really want to (if possable) avoid at all costs an XP reinstall.
I think if I try to remove the card through DM then shut down and move the card to another slot and then start the PC (I have my BIOS set to plug and Play OS) it should detect it and reinstall it in the other slot. But with IRQ problems being what they are , all that should be sometimes isn't.
I have once before tried to remove all creative drivers , then uninstall the card and move it to another slot on another system (NForce chipset) and wound up doing a major reinstall because it would not see the card , but I have an ASUS K8V SE Dlx (VIA Chipset) now and it seems to be a more trouble free board than Nvidia.
Well thats about all I have for now , if anyone has ever doen this before I would really appreciate any help/tips before I take the plunge.
thanks ,

Finding x and y values of a Line Chart

Hi,
For instance, I had a line chart with x and y axis. When I move mouse to the line chart how can I determine x and y axis values? With mouseMoved metod i can find the coordinates but coordinates doesn't help me to find x and y values of the line chart.
How can I find x and y values of a Line Chart?
Thanks in advance

Translate from model to view and back. Another way to do this is to create an
AffineTransform for the modelToView and use it to transform the points. Create an inverse
transform to use in the viewToModel method. Add a ComponentListener and reset the transforms
in the componentResized method to keep them updated.

LINE CARDS AND PPPoE SESSIONS

HI
Dear all
I have a problem of    understanting the concept of LINE CARD on a router. On our network we   are running C7203 and C7209 routers. The maximum sessions are :
• Maximum number of IP and PPPoE subscriber sessions supported per line card is 16000.
I want to know if we buy additionnal card the number of PPPoE subscriber sessions supported will be multiplied by 2.
Here is my problem. We have have connected a DSLAM of 862 subscribers behind a C7203 router. We translate private ip addresses with a pool of 30 public ip addresses and we have a CPU usage of 72%.
We   have 5 others DSLAMs connected to a switch . These 5 DSLAMs support   4500 subscribers. Is it possible by buying 3 additionnal line cards on   my C7609 to have 64 000 sessions.
Also when CISCO says
• Maximum number of IP and PPPoE subscriber sessions supported per line card is 16000
does it means that in my case i have to connect each DSLAM on one particular line card?
Is   it possible to connect the cable from my switch on a C7609 router (with 3 additionnal line cards ) and have a maximums PPPoE subscribers   sessions of 64000
Thx

could someone please advise me on the problem i have with my new audigy 2 card. i would like to get it working and not have to get another card. i got this one because my onboard sound is so junky with midi music and has a poor s/n on recording. the blaster card seems to meet my expectations except for the reboots.
i have read on forums about this same issue with ati video cards in the 9200+ range so i thought that might be the cause but i went back to the onboard audio and the problem went away.
at random my system reboots. i get an error.. irql_not less than or equil or something like that and then it reboots. i let it submit to microsoft and they only say its a problem with a device driver. i have all the updated drivers for all my hardware at this point. i have all the windows updates as well. my xp is legal. i dont think its the power supply but.. could it be? the readings with my digital meter are normal. i have an older but quality digital multi tester. got it when in college. so i know its accurate. it reads 4.9 on 5 and 2.2 on 2. all this info because of the information i have read already. is the audigy a power hungry card? cause i dont get any reboots when i use the onboard sound and my ati video so what ever is going on it has something to do with the sound card.
i cant find a newer driver on the driver site for it except for the beta. so i assume there is no updated driver for the card.
i have a ups backup system. it has come on but it has never caused a computer hang when it has. its a 250 watt unit with plenty of battery backup. same battery backs up my ham radio equip. i am going to reinstall the card and see if in some chance it is munipulating the waveform to the supply. the power to the machine reads 22 volts.
i have had some issues with the power company recently. they had to do some major repairs because i was having problems with flickers. but they fixed... [Show more]

thank you for your reply to my problem.
sorry i missed that detail in my information. that is one of the things i checked. video is on 6 and audio is on 7. i dont see any other devices sharing those irqs in the device manager irq information. or any other devices on same irqs or i/o
before anyone mentions it i also have 3 fans sucking air. my case is actually an old server case with lots of vent holes in front and side. i was thinking of getting some of the slot fans and blowing on video and sound card. could this be the issue? the monitor app says my sytem temp is 82 degrees. 27 on processor.
i appreaciate the input. i ran it all night last night with nero media player running with visulations on. the music was still playing but the video was locked up when i checked it this morning? nothing but mushrooms on my screen from the visulation. i dont know if something happened with nero (most likely this time) but thats the first time that error came up. the odd thing about this really is that it may go for hours and not do this but it seems to do it more when we play demanding games. i ran the machine yesterday for hours on my inverter (ups system) from the batteries with no problem. its output is just a little hotter than my house voltage 27 volts and my line volatage is about 9. but it may reboot before i get this post completed. it ran without problem for 7 hours with all the major games i have until the batteries ran down. (two high capacity 2 volt deep cycles on the outside deck)its really odd. its almost at random. at this point i suspect that i have a power supply problem of some sort. im gonna get a new supply by friday and see if that hel
ps.
i have to wonder who makes the best supply? anyone have any sujestions? perhaps whats really causing this is the capacitors in the supply cant sustain a clean output with the shaky power supplied by aep at my home. aep says that they fixed the problem but i still see flickers. i dont have any problems with the power on anything else in my home. im a little particular. lights that flicker bug me. its not a serious flicker just a slight diming that i have tried to catch with a dvm meter and cant. i have a 350 watts supply but its probably not the best made supply out there. i bought it at a local place that sells off brand computer parts. my fault i guess.. i've had it for maybe 3 years. i had a supply go bad back then and ruin a hard dri've on me. im bad for giving more info than needed but im just a yacker. thanks for the help..
