SB Live 24-Bit prob

I'm having the SCP issue as well, but mine only started about four weeks ago after installing MicroS*** updates that I had previously been avoiding. I've ran with the SB Li've for over a year with no problems until this point.
My hardware/software when SCP began:
ECS 74GX-M mobo
PCI SB Li've 24-Bit
AGP ATI All-In-Wonder
52MB Ram
Windows 2000
Atomix MP3 (pro DJ software)
My DJ software can use multiple cards, one for main audio and one for cue.
I was using the SB Li've as my main output and the onboard Realtek AC97 for cue until the SCP started.
I tried swapping to use the SB as my cue, but then the SCP transfers to the Realtek.
If I switch to using only the Realtek for mains and no cue, the SCP vanishes.
Also, if I use the SB as the main output (and don't select the Realtek for cue), the SCP mysteriously disappears!
I've updated from the SB Li've to the SB Audigy (no change), added another 52 MB Ram (no change) and defragged all my dri'ves (no change).
Whatever is causing this isn't in the SB or mobo hardware. It's almost gotta be a MS software conflict related to using both audio outputs. The next trick is going to be tracking down exactly which POS software is causing it. If it were hardware or driver related, I should be experiencing the SCP even if I use the SB by itself.
I have a new hard dri've where I'll be loading up a fresh copy of Win2K, the MS updates and my DJ software. I'll report back on if the problem still persists after this fresh install or not and go from there.
If it still happens, my next step will be to reinstall again, start with just the basic drivers needed to function, then update one step at a time until it shows up.

Latest....
After reinserting the ATI card, I was not able to test before driver installation due to low resolution video.
I tested after installing the latest ATI driver and still had zero SCP issues.
I then uninstalled the original driver from the SB Li've CD and reinstalled the latest driver from filename SB24_WEB64_LB__04_0055
SCP is BACK!
This DOES seem to indicate a major change in the Creative drivers from original issue to current issue that are not in spec.
My SB Li've model # is SB040.
The information from the p7.inf file on my CD is as follows.....
; Apache INF file
; Models : SB030, SB032, SB0399, SB037, SB043, SB040

Perhaps the Creative team can examine any changes between this driver and the current version to see what's going on.
Hope this helps some of the rest of you out there in SCP City!

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

Integrated SB Live 24 bit on K8N Neo4 SLI Plat and custom EAX

I want to be able to create some custom EAX settings but I can't seem to find any way to do that on the SB Live 24 bit that's integrated on the K8N Neo4 SLI Plat board. Is anyone able to do this or is it a limitation of the integrated SB Live 24 bit? I hope it's not the latter... Thanks.

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

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.
https://logitech-en-ap.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/9693/section/trouble shoot/crid/409/lt_product_id/224/tabs/1,3,2,4,5/cl/sg,en
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

Live Cache config prob!!!!!!

Dear All,
I have just installed IDES of SCM 5.0 and scheduled and released the default jobs from sm36. But from sm37 I can see that the jobs are getting cancelled .
1)" Connection to LiveCache Failed " .
2)" LiveCache Lock Server not Accessible " .
I have installed ABAP + JAVA and logged in client 001.
Please advice ........
Regards,
Souren

Hi Natalia,
Thanks for the reply.
Ours is win2k3 32 bit system where we have installed :
(1) Oracle 10.2 &
(2) SCM 5.0 server (Central System Installation).
During Installation, SAPinst asked for Live cache related details (eg, Live Cache ID - we have given LC1, Control user's Pwd etc) along with the installation DVD for the same - where we have given the DVD 51032259_11 (NW 2004s SR2 liveCache 7.6.0 Windows Server on IA32 32bit).
The installation completed successfully. Our SCM system id is SR3.
**Does this mean that Live Cache Server got installed ??
After the above installation, we have referred the "Installation - SAP liveCache Technology on Win - NW 7.0 SR2" and tried to do the post installation steps (Assuming that Live cache got installed )
We created the RFC user with all the authorizations as described in the SAP note for the same.
During the post installation step :
dbmcli d <SID> -u <controluser>,<password> db_offline,
we got the following error:
ERROR! Connection failed to node <LOCAL> for database <SID>:
Database instance not found.
We tried with both SR3 & LC1 as SID but the result is same.
Further, we tried the next post installation step using LC10.
After Integrating LCA,LDA & LEA, when we tried to "monitor" the Live Cache (by clicking the Live Cache: Monitoring button), we got the following error:
DBMRFC Function : DBM_CONNECT
Error :DBM Error
Return Code : -4
Error Message database instance not found
How should we proceed now??
Thanks & Regards,
Souren

SB live 24 bit external most features won't run on my new compu

I need? advice how? to enable all features of? the SB 24 bit external card on my new computer., i just? get sound? from 6? channel setting on decoder but not? features of the card its? self, nor? digital

You should probably just download the trial version of pse 12 and see if you can live with it.
Download a free trial or buy Adobe products | Adobe downloads
That being said, have you tried to install pse 1 on your computer?
How much free space is on your hard drive?
Do you have Internet Explorer 10 or 11?
Pse 1 can run on windows 7 x64, provided certain conditions are met.

MSI Media Live: TV-Out Probs in HDMI-MCE-Fullscreen-Mode

Hello Folks,
maybe anybody has a hint: my MSI Media Live @ Toshiba Regza 42X3030D loses video-output after switching to full screen mode.
The screen supports acc. to manual via HDMI following modes: 1080p, 1080i and 720p
In Windows mode everything working fine in 1920x1080 interlaced and non-interlaced - but after pressing the green button i got a no-signal-blue-screen (not a BSOD). Hitting Windows-Key i can go back and kill the wmc-task.
Does anybody know in what resolution at which frequency runs mce-fullscreen interface?
Is there any possiblity to edit a config-file to set a resolution/frequency-mode to avoid auto-testing/ajustment?
I would be grateful about every hint.
Thanx

Sorry but your are doing something wrong with your ML.
I just installed the Screensaver ver 3.0beta on my ML and it performs without any hickups or troubles at all.
I'm using the following:
Athlon X2 4200+
2x 1GB DDR800 cheapest I could find
Onboard video 1680*1050*32
XP SP3
Standard MSI supplied drivers.
I did notice you are using 4x memory sticks at DDR800, you should know that the AMD CPU you use doesn't official support 4 (dualsided) sticks at DDR800.
Have you tried running with 2 sticks or reduced speed to DDR667 and 2T commandrate?
Or tried with Vista32 bit?
It's strange you have to put another card in there.
Also, I have altered my CPU-fan direction as the box gets way hot, my CPU fan is now blowing out instead of sucking air in and fill the box with hot CPU-air.
That way the box stays very cold.
It's very easy to change the direction, simply take the top of the cooler off (put a screwdriver in the 4 holes and it comes off) then slide the fan out and turn it around.
Maybe it helps you too.

Sound Blaster Live 24-bit PCI Sound Card and Creative Sound Blaster PCI Card not detect

Ok here is my problem. I bought a Creative Sound Blaster PCI sound card a while back and it was working fine but recently when I would boot up my computer and try to play music say off of Winamp it says Bad DirectSound Driver. When I check device manager it shows no sound card there and in sounds and audio devices it says no audio device. Now my brother believed this to be a card fault so we went to Frys and bought a Sound Blaster Li've 24-bit PCI card. I uninstalled the old drivers and installed this new one but yet it's the same problem. My assumption was that Windows XP had something conflicting so I reinstalled the OS. It found the card and I installed the latest drivers?off of this site but now it does the same thing yet again with a fresh install of Windows XP. The card has been in all 3 of my PCI slots and it will detect it for a moment but then acts like as if the card was never installed. Like I never installed a sound card into the computer. The onboard audio has been disabled for a while now but I do not know what the problem could be. I did Scan for hardware changes but it doesn't show up. Sometimes when the card is detected if I do scan for hardware changes and the card is there it will just magically disappear from the device manager as if it was never there. Even when I try to load music and I see the card is detected it will not play the music and ends up locking up Winamp to the point that sometimes will go BSOD. Now I would really like to find out what the issue is because I am planning this weekend to swap out my motherboard with a duplicate board to see if that will end up fixing the problem but I want to find out if there is any other way to fix this issue. Thank you.Message Edited by AuXoIs on 02-25-200808:28 PM

Hmm what other options is there for the bios on PCI slots?Also anything you connect to the motherboard can have oxidization (I think its that) build up on the connection. Check the connector on the card and get a eraser (Pen eraser is better) and give it a good cleaning. The connector might have alot of build-up on it and you can see it by a dark yellowy colour. I cleaned my graphics card and ram connectors after they got alot of the build-up on them. On a older computer my graphics stopped working and this fixed it. Also I went away for a while (like a month) and came back to see that my puter didn't display anything. Opened it up and saw that the graphic card had alot of corrosion? on the card connector and in the slot. Does that if you computer is turned of for a long time. Had a heck of time trying to clean the slot out. One other thing that it could be is the sound card is faulty. I had an audigy 2 and it died a while back . It picks it up and then try and use it computer freezes and the after restart it's not there anymore. Hope it's not that problem. Hope this gives you something to go by.

Sound Blaster Live 24-bit is PCI-X compila

Will the SB Li've 24-bit work in PCI-X slot?
From picture I can see that PCI connector on SB Li've card have two keys
and looks like it supports 3,3 V PCI bus (two keys usually mean Uni'versal PCI device).
Does someone know it for sure?
I read some threads where were thoughts that SB still needs 5 V PCI bus.

Sound blaster live 24 bit ac3 passthro

I can not find a way to select ac3 passthrough. I need this so when I play dvds,my surround sound receiver will decode the ac3 instead of my sound card. One would think that creative would been a little more creative & made this a little easier. Can anyone help please?

stephen302000,
The Li've 24 bit sound card does not have inbulit AC3 decoder. It already have all the AC3 signal bypassed. You should check the DVD playback software for such option to have the AC3 passthrough to the external decoder.

Live 24-bit ---- Line-In -- ignores custom suround

Computer HardwareHP Pavilion - PIII 500 - 384 ramLi've! 24-bit (internal)Inspire 5800 speakers
Non-Computer HardwareSony External DVD Player
My point in this project was to set up a surround sound system for my TV. To that point I bought RCA -> Stereo Mini plug and have my DVD plugged into the Line-in of the Li've! 24-bit sound card. After futzing about and finding the CMSS input I was able to get the rear channels enabled. My problem is that it Line-in seems to be ignoring the custom mix levels of the surround sound. Because of the proximity to the speaker while sitting on the couch, we set the Front(s) & Middle to 00% and the rear channels to ~45%. These settings are honored when playing MP3's, AVI's or DVD's from the computer; however, anything from the line-in ignores these custom percentages.
Am I missing something here or just mis-interpreting the way Line-in works. Is it driver related? Should I check the Drivers from the KXProject?
My current drivers are the "Creative Basic Audio Suite for Creative Sound Blaster audio devices" (35.59 MB) right off the downloads, dated 5 Jun 05. I never even tried the Driver CD that came with, I immediately upgraded to the newest.
Message Edited by nekron99 on 06-28-2005 2:47 AM

With the set up you are doing you will not get true sound sound. Currently you are only getting a stereo signal from your DVD player. Ifyou put it into the Line-In on the speakers the audio will only come outof the front speakers. If you plug the DVD player into the Li've 24 Bit's Line-In again you really only are send a stereo signal to the sound card. However will CMSS enable it will upmix the stereo signal out to the other speaker as what it thinks is the rear and center audio but it is just simulated so depending on how the audio tracks are cut inthe movie then it may not sound the same as a true 5. surround sound. Now one thing you want to check is in Speaker Settings make sure the card is set to 5. not 7.. If you have it set to 7. the CMSS may try to send some of the audio to the side speaker and since you have a 5. system you may lose some of the upmix.
Now if you would like true 5. from your DVD Player you could hook the 6channel analog outputs to the speakers. However most likely you have a newer one that does not have the 6 channel analog but it should have a digital output of some type. If it does all you will need is something that will decode the 5. digital signal. With this you will get your true 5. surround sound from your 5. encoded movies. There is 2 thing you can get to do this ether you can get one of our Audigy 2 ZS PlatinumKits. The front dri've bay has connection for digital optical and coax connections. Another option is if you are not able to exchange the cards is get our DDTS-00 Dolby Digital Decoder.
http://us.creative.com/products/prod...6&product=9468
I have one of these myself. This would connect between your sound card and the speakers. What you would then do is plug the DVD Player into the decoder box and it would decode the 5. signal and send it out to all your speaker with out you having to run the DVD Player to your computer. Also you can hook up your other audio devices to as well. This is what I use as the receiver in my living for my Entertainment Center. If you have any more questions let us know.

Live Monitor URL prob!!

When I try and use "Live Monitor" it now says "The URL is Invalid"... i know I can update via "Live Update" ok, but what happened to the Monitor???? i like my taskbar utilities....
Thanks...

I had the same problem. I think it was when I was using bios version 1.5.
But if you have the latest bios and live update it should work properly everytime as mine is currently working, I just checked.
Also, if you uninstall and reinstall the version of live update that you have, it should work at least one time, then you can view last result as many times as you want. Why it does this I don't know. The reason I mention this, is if you want to use the utility to GET the latest bios and live update.

Help I need to locate a driver for my soundblaster live 24 bit soundcard

My son has been given the following PC games for christmas:-
Command & Conquer 3,
Command & Conquer Red Alert 3,
Arma; Armed Assault,
Medal of Honour: Airborne
The problem he is having installing these 4 games is this. About half way through installation an error message appears that quite simply states "The software you are installing does not bear a WHQL signed driver. This software will not be installed".
The PC we are running is a Dell Dimension 900, that we purchased about 4 years ago, and it was bespoke.
I have run DxDiagnostics and it tells me that the driver for the graphics card is called p7.sys and the sound card are not WHQL logo'd, so how the hell do i download a driver for my soundblaster Li've 24 bit, that does? bear a digital signatre that is WHQL Logo'd. I hope you can help, me please.

Re: Help I need to locate a driver for my soundblaster li've 24 bit soundcard? I guess you and your son are currently using windows xp. Well, what you can do is now is ignoring the WQHL pop-up window and choose the "install anyway" option during the installation of the soundcard driver, since WQHL only means the driver is tested by Microsoft and nothing more; drivers without the WQHL qualification does not mean they are bad drivers, they usually works as good as the WQHL ones.
Ofcourse you can also download the official drivers for the mentioned Soundblaster li've 24bit at Creative Labs support/download site.
here is it:
[url="http://uk.europe.creative.com/support/downloads/download2.asp?MainCategory=&Product=035&dlcentric= 025&Product_Name=Li've%2+24-bit&filetype=&OSName=Windows+XP">Creative Sound Blaster Audigy Value/SE/LS and Sound Blaster Li've! 24-bit XP and Windows Vista Pack .04.0077 (63.39 MB)?[/url]
The driver is for all Soundblaster Audigy Value, SE, LS and Soundblaster Li've 24bit, since they are all based on the CA-006 soundchip (with other words Creative Labs renamed the soundcard several times). Also this driver should be WQHL-ed (if not, choose "install anyway" option during installation of the soundcard driver). Make sure you have uninstalled the older driver before installing the new one. For troubleshooting use utilies like "Driver Cleaner" or "Driver Sweeper" (google for Guru3D and go to the site and their download section to get the utilities/tools) to clean up the junk files of the older driver that are left in the Windows OS.
Good luck and Merry Christmas!!!
