SB Live! 24bit Crackling so

Hello , Im new to this forum and I have problems with my new card.
First of all I have to tell I ve been dealing with this problem since last Friday and Ive also returned the card to the shop where I bought it.
They said no problem with the card and I was also there when they tested my card and there the card gave no problems.
After I come back home and put back into my machine the problem occured again.
And the problem is , when I try to play with any kind of game It starts crackling and popping and slows down my system.
The crackling starts at the beginnig of the game when the intro movies come.
But if I listen to my mp3 s there is no problem and everything is fine...
Would you mind helping me a bit...
I also reinstalled my system with win xp (sp2 equipped).
My config is :
Asus A7V880 (VIA chipset)
AMD Athlon XP Barton 3200+
Gigs of Ram
I have a SCSI card and a TV Tunner card.
And Ive already read through the FAQ's and the knoweledge base.

I think I may have a solution, but first let me tell you the problem that I had. I have the SB Li've! 24-bit sound card. Whenever I would play music, a graphic-intense game, or watch a movie on my computer it would usually start off with no problems. The problem came, for example, if I wanted to surf the internet while listening to my .mp3's. The sound would degrade to heavy static and almost nothing would stop it. So, I decided to look up the IRQ for my sound card and video card to see if there was a conflict. I discovered that my video card's IRQ was 6 and my sound card was set to 7. Obviously there was no conflict. However, I decided to try and achieve an IRQ for my sound card?that was not so close to my video card's IRQ. The next thing I did was take the sound card out of it's PCI slot and simply place it into another PCI slot. When I rebooted my computer I checked the IRQ for the sound card and it was now set to 8. Finally, I decided to test it out and so far I have had no static problems. I hope this hel

Differences between live 24bit and audigy se?

hi!
anyone knows whats the exact differences between the creative soundblaster live 24bit (found in the k8n diamond and p4n diamond) and creative soundblaster audigy se (found in k8n diamond plus)? the chipsets seems to be identical among each other. the specs are also identical.
pls advise.

Why my device control on my K8N Diamond plus did not have the decoder tab?
Maybe that's why I can't get 5.1 sound from my digital speaker...

Looks like you don't have the right software drivers installed. Instead of the nVIDIA Audio drivers, you should be installing the Creative Labs drivers from the enclosed driver CD-ROM, the separate one from the MSI disk. Next go to Creatives site and run all the updates from their Auto-update service.
You should be able to select the tab shown above as I also see it. Each selection also works for me so I can say that the Dolby decoding does work.

Soundblaster live USB 24bit, crackling with dvd/cd drive.

I know there are a ton of you out there with crackling problems however I haven't really been able to find anyone with a problem identical to mine. I only get crackling when I play a video on a cd or a dvd. I've played the same file twice, once when it was on my harddri've and once when it was on a cd. ON the cd it crackled, on the harddri've it was fine.
I've downloaded all the updates from creative but am pretty much stumped from there.
Any suggestions?
Kyle

A primary CD dri've would be D: A secondary would be E: and the third could be anything really, but I would guess F:?
Go into the bios and dissable S.M.A.R. T. Then in the bios cheak the DMA is set to auto.
under PnP set PCI latency to 64.
If this fails. Remove your secondary and third dri'ves and try just D:
Remove that little grey wire thingy that runs from the CD dri'ves to the sound card if you have it in use also as you may well be running it via this. I am not to sure how or why but its worth a try. I never bother with this cable with any new system I build as I am yet to find a use for it.
Also, the main volume control and the WAVE volume control turn them both down to 95%. At max they can give a gain effect much like a Guitar AMP can if you up the master volume.

SB Live 24Bit External: Reproducible System Freeze after installing Windows Upda

I have a SB Li've! 24Bit External and am quite content with it. However, my Windows Update has recently installed the following updates:
- Cumulati've Security Update for IE, KB9282
- Cumulati've Security update for OE, KB9567
- Tool for Spyware Removal, KB890830
- Security Update for Windows XP, KB90853
- Security Update for Windows XP, KB9562
I suspect one of the last two ones to be at fault. Afterwards, my computer froze completely on the Windows startup screen whenever the SB came up. I could verify that it was the SB by removing the USB cable (which solved the issue) and plugging in again later to the running system (which brough the freeze again).
A was able to get a running system again by using the System Recovery, but I'd *really* like to install those updates (. to be a little more safe and 2. because the Windows Update nagging me about those updates is really annoying).

This has got to be the craziest IRQ table that I have ever seen. Windows will not let me change any of the settings. It doesn't seem kocher, and I am pretty knowlegible from other systems I have set up, but not this one. I have been keeping a few charts to see if anything changes, and these have changed since this morning, though nothing else has been installed. I know they shouldn't share as they do, but it won't let me have control over these. Am I am doing something drastically wrong. On USB is Epson 760, Logi cordless opticle mouse, and MS Internet KB with combo PS2 / USB 2 port hub. I have the mouse plugged into KB. HERE GOES:
IRQ 0 : Sys timer
IRQ 1 : Keyboard
IRQ 2 : Prog Interupt Controller
IRQ 3 : Com 2 (yet I have disabled in bios)
IRQ 4 : ACPI IRQ HOLDER FOR PCI IRQ STEERING
IRQ 4 : STD OPEN HCI USB HOST CONTROLLER
IRQ 5 : ACPI IRQ HOLDER FOR PCI IRQ STEERING
IRQ 5 : NVIDIA USB 2.0 ENHANCED USB CONTROLLER
IRQ 6 : FLOPPY
IRQ 7 : EPSON PRINTER PORT LPT1 (MY HP540 IS HERE)
IRQ 8 : SYS CMOS / RTC
IRQ 9 : SCI IRQ USED BY ACPI BIOS
IRQ 10 : ACPI IRQ HOLDER FOR PCI IRQ STEERING
IRQ 10 : ACPI IRQ HOLDER FOR PCI IRQ STEERING
IRQ 10 : NVIDIA NFORCE MCP NETWORK CONTROLLER
IRQ 10 : NVIDIA NFORCE PCI SYSTEM MANAGEMENT
IRQ 11 : ACPI IRQ HOLDER FOR PCI IRQ STEERING
IRQ 11 : ACPI IRQ HOLDER FOR PCI IRQ STEERING
IRQ 11 : SB LIVE
IRQ 11 : STD OPEN HCI USB HOST CONTROLLER
IRQ 12 : ACPI IRQ HOLDER FOR PCI IRQ STEERING
IRQ 12 : NVIDIA GF4 INTEGRATED GRAPHICS GPU
IRQ 13 : NUMERIC PROCESSOR

Soundblaster Live 24bit Prob

Hi i've been having problems with my new Sb li've 24bit card, having problems in some games that i can't seem to remedy was hoping i could get some help or ideas to try.
Heres the problems i have, when playing 2 of my favorite games Il2 Forgotten battles, and World War II Online I experience crackling , some sounds are to faint and some are to loud.. sounds are more loud if i look up appose to looking forward or to the side at objects making the noise.. Some sounds are missing altogether.
I think both these games use Directx for there sounds. Must be a problem with directx.. I've tried everything to fix the problem and nothing makes a diffrence. I've reinstall the drivers 4 times, tried playing with all the settings for the soundcard like speaker settings, equalizer, EaX, bass booster, lowering hardware acceleration for sound in directx, tried diffrent settings in the games setup and nothing seems to help.
I alos have windows Xp Pro fully updated and directx 9.0c, and all other drivers are updated including my motherboard drivers. it seems like to me.. that maybe its not positioning the sounds threw my headphones correctly.. even thou i have headphones selected in speaker settings sounds like its working in surround sound threw my headphones and missing some of it.. i donno.. But anyways thx for any help in advanced.

Yes i updated the drivers for my graphics card as well, i have tried 2 diffrent video card drivers . I've updated every driver for my system and tried some older drivers for my motherboard to. I've tried everything in that knowledgebase article as well over the last couple days and nothing seems to make a diffrence. I don' have another system to try the card in at the moment but today i put my old SB li've Value card back in and tested these games and the sound was perfect.. maybe this card just dosen't work well with certian sound technologys? or maybe its just defecti've i donno.. Is there anything else i can try?
Thx for the reply

Onboard SoundBlaster Live 24bit probl

I just recently got a MSI nforce 4 motherbaord (platinum SLI) with onboard Li've 24bit. It works fine for low quality sound, but if i try and utilise it fully in games, like Halo, then it lags and only plays parts of the sound. I was wondering if it could be that the hardware it not fully accelerated but i'm unsure where to find that option.
I'm running XP with the latest drivers. Please help.
Cheers, Mcphie

i guess creatives products are just cack then! all i have read on these forums is how people from a variety of different soundcards, experience this pop and crackle noise. but yet, no proper drivers fix for most! and the fix they suggest rarely seem to work. certainly not for me!
quite frankly, im rather anoyed that creative are being allowed to get away with this. i for one will NOT be buying anything in your range again.

Using Live 24Bit With Vis

Hello there,I have SoundBlaster Li've! 24Bit with Inspire T7900 7. Speaker System. I upgraded to Windows Vista 32Bit, used the latest Creative Driver (Feb 2007)?and now I have sound and speakers test is working....but not in music playback and stuff... I was confused reading all the threads here, I know everybody has this problem... but is there a BETA driver or a way to make my 7. works again?cause reading the threads about the previous drivers confused me more!?thanx for help!

I was the same way. Of course my setup is not 7. but 5.also my speakers are not using a digital connection...and when i went into media centre i had zero sound and same with music playback till i went into the control panel/sound window and selected digital connection...which again i am not using but this seemed to fix everything sound wise... maybe they got it backwards..who knows. but i'm trying to find out if you can get the cmss or eax stuff back. this having no treble or bass or equalizer or anyhting but plain ole sound..well.. sucks. I mean I might as well be using my onboard motherboard sound..

SB Live 24bit reverts to 2 speaker m

Every time my computer is rebooted my SB Li've (Previous 5. and now 24bit) return to 2. speaker configuration. This is despite the fact that I have selected 5. or 4. in speaker selection. How do I get it to stick to 5. or 4. on reboot?
Running Win2000 Pro on SP4
On board Audio has been disable in Bios.
Thanks
Andrew

It seems after doing a search on this forum that this has been a problem for a while. It would be nice of Crati've to get this addressed.
It was not a problem in the older Mixer/Effects consoles so I am assuming this is a software related problem.
Anyone have any answers?
Thanks,
Andrew

In favour of quality sound and protection to the speakers it is not necessary a fast connection than usb .
does not usb . connection lose speed to transfer data for the purpose i describe, comparing to PCI card?

Sound Blaster Live 24bit External - No B

I am hoping that someone can help me here. I am running Windows Vista Ultimate and have my PC setup purely as a Media Center machine. It has an onboard Intel 5. Sound Card that was producing average sound, but works 00%?I have since installed my Li've 24bit External, I first ran the CD and then realised that it was not Vista software so I downloaded the updated drivers and software. First I removed the old software and then installed the newer version. Now everything seems to work and when I test all the speakers via the?drivers / control panel?they all work - including the sub. When playing anything via Media Center or Media player, I get no bass what so ever. - I have even tried 5. DTS DVDs?I have subsequently plugged the speakers back into the onboard card and the sub works. Any suggestions?Thanks in advance.

Yes, it will work. It'll wind up setting your USB ports to 6 bit by default, because it's going to be taking alot out of them, but it'll give you some beefy surround sound none the less. On the down side of this external card though, it's giving me a ton of **bleep** about ventrilo and fra

Genius SW-HF5.1... on Live 24bit and Audigy

Hi all,
I've tested this set of speakers on those two sound cards ans when I try listening to music or a DVD I still have no sound from both sub and middle speakers. I'd like to have some help please. I tried the same set on my onboard sound card and it works well (an Asus A8N-E Deluxe). I'd prefer my Audigy but it does not work even in BF1942. Tried to update drivers with no result.
Thx anyways guys.

My Question is: Li've 24bit or Audigy LS.
Yes I noticed that, but couldn't find any Audigy LS card.
Is it a discontinued model?
I found it priced about the same as Audigy 2 Value
(Audigy LS + Hitman 2 = ~66? vs Audigy 2 Value ~40?)
So why get LS?
For the game shake?

SoundBlaster LIVE 24BIT.....Microphone ISSU

Alright, Alright...... I have Been playing United Offensi've for quite some time now with an Onboard Soundcard and i just got sick and tired of having to listen to my games through 2 pissant speakers.

I decided it was finally time to get myself something bigger, so i went to staples and purchased a Soundblaster Li've 24Bit Sound Card with a 5. Logitech Surround system, WORKS AMAZING......untill.........................


When i get onto the game or hop into my Voice Server, everytime i push my "Talk" button for my microphone they hear everything my comptuer is doing, wether it be from my AIM sounds, or music in the background......and thats with my headset pluged into my headphone port on my speakers,.....acually well it does it either way , pluged into the headhphone port or unpluged, i thoguht it might have had something to do with my speakers being too loud, and just my microphone was picking up background feedbakc, but NOPE!!!!

The "What You Hear" setting in my "Creative Surround Mixer" seems to be allowing my freinds on the other end to hear every little noise my comptuer makes, If...i turn it all the way down....thinking maybe they wont hear it........ THEY NOW CANT HEAR ME TALK!!!!!.....there is no way around it.....or is there? :angry:

If anyone would be so kind as to help me out with this little problem it would be wonderfully appreciated, i cant handle playing Online games without overwhealming sound and my **bleep** microphone!

Thanks: Cory. *aka* Gafston

Sound blaster live 24bit full volume buzzing soun

hello ,??i just recently bought sound blaster li've 24bit, i have got 2.0 alteclansing VS220 speakers(no subwoofer), wanted to ask when i turn my speakers to medium volume ok no buzz , no problems but when i turn it to max. loud buzz comes from speakers, is it my speakers or is it the sound card signal to strenght ratio thing i don't know help me out.

Type in run " msconfig" and look for the startup item for the app, in your case?CTsysvol . Place a check in the box next to it.
Also type in run "services.msc" scroll down and enure that anything for Creative is set to Auto.
Try that and see how ya go.

Soundblaster live 24bit, distort

Hi,
just purchased a new computer with a Soundblaster Li've 24 bit. The problem I have is that a while of playing sound the kard starts to produce static crackles and distortion. If I run a cubase project, it's fine in the beginning, but after some minutes, there will be a small scipping of the sound and the static distortion starts to appear. After closing the project and re-opening it again, it works fine for the next few minutes.
Any idea how to fix that?
Thanks,
Andreas

Try increasing the playback latency (can be set on software you're using for audio playback).
Try other playback drivers (from MME, DirectSound, WDM, (/WDM/KS (Kernel Streaming), ASIO/). If your audio application is not capable other than MME/DS drivers, then you can try Foobar2k (select the special installation) or MixVibes 6 (demo) (these apps are capable for WDM/KS and ASIO).
If still these issues, try to decrease PCI latency for graphics card (you'll find information on how to do this, by searching this forum).
