SB Live! 24-Bit External Software doesn't work!

Hi all.
So I bought myself an SB Li've! 24-Bit External soundcard because I'm constantly switching between my desktop and laptop PC's. I need a 5. capable soundcard for my desktop anyway, so I this is what I went with.
Anyway, the sound works fine in 2. for both the laptop and the desktop; however, none of the software, such as EAX, diagnostic tool, surround mixer, or speaker settings works! So, even though I bought this thing for 5., it's not deli'vering!
What can I do to make the software work, and allow me to enable the 5. feature? All of my physical conections are good.

    How to produce 5.1 sound with logitech z5500 running on iMac 10.5.8 with sound blaster live 24 bit external.

    First off your operating system version is obsolete and not being updated for security issues from Apple.
    OS X 10.4/10.5 need to upgrade, 10.6.8 ok still
    So at least you need to upgrade to 10.6.8, and that will make your machine secure again.
    However if you decide to upgrade further to 10.7 or 10.8, be forewarned your PPC based software of old is not going to work any longer. and your machine may require more RAM.
    Check here to see and download the free MacTracker to see your machines true RAM potential and specs. There are videos online at YouTube, it's really easy to install yourself.
    http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    I checked out the z-5500, apprantly the optical out shouldn't be a problem, however the surround sound decoding is a problem as the Mac doesn't do it, just passes it through for decoding on a receiver via the optical out port if your Mac has one.
    Use the free MacTracker to find out or when you upgrade OS X, there is a option in the System Preferences > Sound.

    The Sound Blaster Live 24 bit doesn't do Dolby 5.1 according to Wikipedia. More info on it is here.
    http://support.creative.com/Products/ProductDetails.aspx?catID=1&prodID=10702&pr odName=Live!%2024-bit%20External&CatName=Sound+Blaster
    If it's able to accept optical toslink cable from the Mac's toslink stereo mini port (if it has optical output) and then send that to the z-5500 via the analog speakers, then you should be fine.
    I'm afraid you'll have to do some more digging to get it to work.
    The only surround sound your going to get is by playing DVD movies that have it, then it can't have Dolby 5.1 as the Live 24 bit can't decode it.
    So do your research on what surround sound formats the Live 24 can decode, then compare your DVD collection for those movies that have it, then get it all connected and enable it on the movie preferences at the menu.
    Good Luck

  • I have purchased the Adobe Creative Suite 4 and now my first dvd of the software doesn't work anymor

    I have purchased the Adobe Creative Suite 4 and now my first dvd of the software doesn't work anymore. My computer doesn't want to read it anymore. I want to mention that I also tried on some other computers and still the problems continues. How can I solve this? On the Adobe webpage I can't find anymore the download for Adobe CS4. Thanks. Marius Lupu

    You can download the software from http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html and can serialize it with the serial number you have.

    Hi,

    When I try to start e.g. Lenovo Toolbox I get the error message "ThinkVantage Toolbox doesn't work...". A View into the Windows solution center offers the following message:

    The rest of the software mentioned above works great and fast. Only the Lenovo software doesn't work. This is rather annoying, because I can't change e.g. important property values in the power manager.
    I've deinstalled and installed (manually) again graphics driver as well as the troubleshooting software without success.
    What shell I do now?
    Regards

    Moderator edit:  Title adjusted to better reflect message content

    Dorian,
    You found me! Thanks for the logs. They confirmed what I was suspecting: a font problem is causing any application built on Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) to crash. Based on our research there are two potential issues. The fixes are pretty easy.
    One or more of your installed fonts does not have a proper date/time
    The Registry may have some invalid font path entries
    To Detect and Fix the Font Invalid/Missing Date Problem
    Open an elevated command prompt (CMD.EXE) and navigate to C:\Windows\Fonts\
    Save a font listing to your desktop with the command:  DIR *.* /tw /od > %USERPROFILE%\desktop\fontlist.txt
     3. Open fontlist.txt with notepad.
      4. Remove any fonts with a missing or invalid date (January 1, 1601 for example). Easiest way to do this is by opening Windows Explorer, going to the fonts folder (C:\Windows\Fonts\), and removing the offending fonts.
     5. Open LTT or one of the other TVTs to see if the problem is solved. If not, continue with the next section.
    To Detect and Fix the Font Registry Problem
    WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. I cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk!
    Open the Registry Editor (REGEDIT.EXE)
    Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts
    Scan the "Data" column for each font looking for any illegal path characters
    If any are found, remove the offending characters. Here are some blogs that may offer additional insight: http://code.logos.com/blog/2009/11/how_to_crash_every_wpf_application.html and http://alissonsol.blogspot.com/2009/02/when-wpf-applications-dont-start.html
    Let me know how it goes.

  • Had to reinstall my system and now software doesn't work

    Hi, my powerbook recently died or something, so that whenever I switched it on some code would show up. Well I reinstalled mac os x, and I'm able to get back on. But lots of the software doesn't work. That includes itunes, safari, firefox, garageband, and all my photos that I had in iphoto are gone. Some told me to reinstall those programs or update them from apple's website, but the only browser on my computer that works is internet explorer, and it won't finish loading the pages to instal safari or itunes. So I can never get to them. I tried firefox, but once I download the image and try to mount it, it says failure and corrupt image.
    I also can't even get on to some other websites, like hotmail.com, so I can't even check my email for some reason.
    I'm kind of at a loss here for how to get back my old photos, use my old programs and basically do anything on this laptop. I tried using software update to update mac os x to 10.3.9, but that didn't change anything.
    By the way, I don't have internet at home so I've been going online at starbux to do this stuff. I appreciate any help someone can give me.
    *it seems I accidently posted this in the wrong category since I have a 15-inch. I don't know how to delete this or move it, so if someone could help regardless that'd be great.
    Message was edited by: Homer Papadopoulos

    Yeah I have the original CDs. And I have backed up some stuff. But shouldn't things like safari and itunes be working anyway? The applications are there, they just won't open. Someone told me would lose my preferences and just had to update them again, but I can't do so cause safari doesn't work and internet explorer won't let me get on certain sites...

  • Enabler software doesn't work

    The 802.11n enabler software doesn't work on my Intel iMac even though it should according to the Apple site info. I get a message that says
    "Your computer does not meet the hardware requirements for this update."
    Anybody know what gives?

    Use the information in this article to determine which model of iMac you have; the AirPort Extreme 802.11n enabler requires a Core 2 Duo processor, and isn't compatible with Core Duo iMacs or the 1.83GHz Core 2 Duo model.

    After I have upgraded to the new iOS 6.1.2, the email software doesn't work and is not downloading.  While before it was working fine.
    How to fix this?

    There seems to be massive amounts of problems with every aspect of iOS 6. From what I understand all you can do is try and reset your device and pray that Apple bequeaths working software next time or allows users to revert to iOS 5 while they search for someone who knows what they are doing. Perhaps you will need to use an alternate email app until then? (Although, Gmail seems to be the only one that works properly)

  • Traktor 3.3 & SB Live 24-bit External in Windows Vista, Problem sol

    Hi!, I'm from Mexico, I'm a dj, ok, few hours ago, I solved the poblem with my SB Li've External in Traktor 3.3 of NI, I use Windows vista in my tablet PC, and when I boutght it, Traktor never show me the 5. channels... I think the problem is with the driver for windows vista, one week ago I recovered my tablet and I install Windows XP, but my AMD Turion 64X2 runs bad the traktor 3.3, today I decided to install my SB Li've in W. Vista, again, And?I decided USE THE XP DRIVER CD, I had't installed any software of music in my PC, only the traktor 3.3, when I?trying to set the Audio COnfiguration in traktor I find one?option in Audio Device: ASIO4ALL v2,?and others options.the most unusual is that de option ASIO4ALL had't show me before. ok but this option allows us to use 8 outs of the SB Li've , & 2 for?front, ....etc. the last 2 outs (7 and 8), I thing that?are for the Digital Output(please confirm me it). I don't know how my?PC detected that option in traktor, I had another SB Li've External, & make the same steps & never show me that. my?NEW SB Li've Ext. I boutght it'stoday, I don't see any?unlike. Fortunately for me?traktor & SB LIVE Ext. runs great in Windows Vista. . maybe the XP Driver CD is new, I don't know! (for these news steps I never install the VISTS Driver CD).
    When you configure Ur traktor Outputs, select ASIO4ALL and push the Control Panel button, Traktor will run another windows with many options.
    I use this options in my PC (if U recommend me other please tell me):
    Audio Device: ASIO4ALL
    Sample Rate: 4400 hz
    Audio Latency: 23.ms (configured in ASIO4ALL control panel)
    ------in ASIO4ALL control panel:
    .-Select SB LIVE 24-bit Ext. and clic on enable button. if there are other please disable it.
    2.- mark Always Resample at 44. Khz <-> 48 Khz, and force WDM Driver to 6 bit (optional)
    ?clic on exit.
    go to output routing, and U will find the 8 outputs.
    Note: in ASIO4ALL control panel I see a web page for support, cheak it: www.asio4all.com, maybe U will find more options.
    I hope this hel
    ps.
    with my first SB LIve I visit this forum and many people have the same problem. . good Luck! and happy Mixes.
    for questions please contact me:
    [url=mailto:[email protected]">mortal_csw@hotm ail.com[/url]
    www.trancemx.com
    And Sorry for my bad english jaja. BYE!

    ok, in output routing you will find all options to configure your outputs, for the cue?monitors select 2 outputs of the SB Li've, in my setup I have?3 &?4 outputs (C/Sub estereo output), for master I have & 2 (Front), & for Booth 5 & 6 (Rear). maybe your problem is that you have not?deactivated your old sound card, and haven't enable the SB Li've, U can use both at the same time, and get more outputs . U can configure Ur outputs?as U Like, if U use a external Mixer with 2 or 4 channels, select in output routing - mixer mode "External" and send the channels A, B, C & D in a specific?output. good Luck

  • Installation CD for Creative Sound Blaster Live 24-bit External SB0490

    Hi,
    I've bought this old external soundcard without the original installation CD, because I thought I can download all needed software here on the creative site. But no, only the drivers and some simple program updates are available :-(. With the creative drivers installed, I only get hacked sound on the digital coax output, SPDIF is also not working correctly. I suppose I have to do some configuration in the creative suite software, but this suite can only be installed from the original installation CD...
    Is here somebody who can tell me where I can download an ISO of this CD or perhaps make an upload of it?
    Kind Regards
    Steven

    HRe: Sound Blaster Li've! 24-bit External (SB0490) choppy background sound? I've been having the same problem with mine. ?At first, all it would take is unplug the laptop end of the USB, wait a second, then plug it back in. ?A sound (incoming mail, reminder, general Windows sound) had to initiate the sound. ?It's almost like a CD skipping, but the sound played has no bearing on the popping sound. ?It's always the same pitch, timing, etc. no matter the sound that caused it.
    I've blue screened a couple of times too over the past couple of weeks. ?I've only been able to catch 'USB' during the blue screen before it reboots, so I don't have a code number to chase down.
    I'm using Windows Vista Premium Edition on a Gateway laptop that's about two years old. ?I'm being lazy, and not looking, but I'm pretty sure it's got a .6GHz DualCore proc, I upped the RAM to 2GB, I had to replace the HDD and I honestly don't recall the brand.
    It's gotten to the point now that even unplugging and then replugging doesn't really affect it anymore. ?I know that I've updated the driver a couple of times. ?The first time Vista whined about it. ?Going to see if there's a more current version, but I don't really have any further help or suggestions.
    Hopefully something will come up.

    Download a free trial or buy Adobe products | Adobe downloads
    That being said, have you tried to install pse 1 on your computer?

  • Sound Blaster live 24-bit external hardward possible quick

    i have a?Sound Blaster li've 24-bit external, it worked without any problems, accept slowing my computer down, but i only have 256 Ram and .4 GHZ CPU, so it wasn't a surprise. But then, the clips that hold the USB port in place came loose. They didn't break. They just came loose. The result being that?the port is back inside the card itself. Everything still looks just fine, but i can't get the?USB port to stay still so i can plug the cord into it. So I'm wondering if using a little glue,?or some kind of torch, might harm the device. Because I'm fairly certain the warranty is voided(cause it looks a little ruffed up), and i don't feel like paying shipping, repair, and all that, so i don't want to send it back, but there is a chance that it hasn't. Any advice is welcome. Oh and if any CL people are?reading this, the sound card was magical before the clips came loose, you guys rock!

    that problem got fixed, but now there's another. every time i plug it into my computer, it says that 'there has been a power surge on USB hub' and then i have to reset the port and remove the cable. i tried looking on the database, anybody got any ideas?
