SB Live 5.1 Platinum RemoteCenter Problems in

<SPAN>Hello,
<SPAN> I purchased the SB Li've Platinum back when I had Windows 98 running. It worked like a champ. I was able to use all of the software that came with the card, and was very pleased with it. Since then, I've built up a few other PCs and had left my Li've card out of the mix. I just built up another PC for my girlfriend. A big part of what I'm trying to do with this PC is set it up to be a "media pc" for her. That being said, I thought this would be a perfect situation to use my li've card with the remote center. Well, apparently the remote center and XP SP2 don't play well together.
<SPAN><SPAN>So here's the skinny on what I've tried so far. Maybe I've missed something, but I kind of doubt it. First off, I've installed the hardware properly. There's not much to it. Put the card in, attached the li've-dri've via ribbon cable, and powered the li've dri've with a floppy power connector. After that, I powered the system up and loaded the software from the "Installation CD" which was shipped with the SB Li've card to being with. I did this ignoring the prompts that the software was incompatible with XP because I intended to update all the drivers and software with the downloads available on the creative support site, and wanted to ensure that all the multimedia apps that came with the original software were installed. After installing the original software I then installed the Li'veDrvUni-Pack update. After the UniPack, I installed Playcenter 3 for SB Li've, and Remote center .40.26. Now every time that I boot the system, I get an error stating that rcenter needs to close. If I try to configure the remote center, it fails to detect my infrared receiver. I've also uninstalled all of the drivers and original software, and attempted to just install the updated software, also to no avail. In addition, I've gone through all of the driver settings, and could not track down anything that made a difference. HEEELP! I've seen on some other posts that people are having similar problems in XP. It would appear to be a compatibility issue. Does Creative have any plans to update the software for this card? Can anyone provide me with some other things to try? Just an FYI, I work as a network engineer, and have copious amounts of experience troubleshooting pc problems. I've been working in the field for 7 years now, and would be considered a very advanced user by just about anyone. At this point, I would say that there's nothing more that can be done without a software update, but I've been wrong before. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
<SPAN>
<SPAN>Regards,
<SPAN>tsu

I have been having the same trouble since I upgraded to XP about three years ago.
Now I have a new system and like you said I want to dedicate this older mechine to being a media pc and started looking into things again.
I wanted to update drivers and see that I missed an update in July of 03 or I could use a new patch but my drivers are from march of 03 and I can't find the other update.
Come on SB where is the support we pay a premium to get.

  • Driver problem with SB LIve 5.1 Platinum card

    This card is fine even at 6 to 7 years old, however after installing Adobe Audition 3 to do some mixing for gaming I noticed the front speaker headphone jack had no sound. I can't say if Audition was the fault or not but I did remove the program and all entries in the registry using the microsoft? tool. I have reinstalled the SB drivers for this device 3 times and after a fresh driver install the jack works perfectly but after shutting down and re starting the next day the no sound problem is back and nothing I do corrects it. At the rear of the card the output is just fine and I can even go up to the 5. surround system headphone jack and it is fine, just the front li've dri've is no sound. There is no static or any indication that something may be wrong with the jack , when it works it is perfect.
    Is there a registry entry that may be corrupting that causes this. I have the DVD sound turned off in the hardware driver section as it should be to hear from the front jack. If I re installed the drivers again for this card I would have sound at the front jack, so who do you have to know in Creative to get some help with this. I am dissapointed that a software issue is not important enough to give support to a past product. I use four of these cards and the next time I choose new cards you can bet I will give a lot of thought to the support. I don't want a new card just some drivers that work.

    I disabled the onboard audio ac97.
    I checked the sound card in my friend's PC.
    It worked.
    when using creative diagnosis, it says hardware working, drivers properly installed but
    while checking the speakers i am not able to listen to "Left Channel" or "Right Channel" etc.
    I my friend's system, the same card worked.
    Speakers Creative PC works LX520 5. speakers work...
    So the card works.
    My doubt is
    PCI slot is working or not, but i tried with all 3 slots.
    If PCI slot doesn't work, then my os Win98 and WinXp won' t have shown the "New device PCI Multimedia Audio device found", it is not the case , I recognises the card, installs the driver.
    Will there be any specific patch or Hotfix for Krypton BKS700 Motherboard ?
    Thanks

    Well the PC is having shutdown problems again!!
    I dont know What's going I installed a fresh WindowsXP just in case and the problem stays the same
    I can only think of a defective PSU if that is the case why with Bios 1.9 and 1A have that specific problem?
    Can somebody give me an idea?

    Hi,
    I had the same problems.
    installed with the help of the Diskette (also 2raidO HD), en then the drivers from the CD.
    problem still there.
    I then upgraded to 3.7 bios & 6.66 msi nforce (downloaded from MSI website): problem solved.
    I later upgraded to the Nvidia 3.70 drivers, no issues.
    I do have a problem about the Sound and the Digital Decoder of the DTT3500 Cambridge Soundworks.. (already posted in this tread):
    Can't get 5.1 sound running! (with digital output, like on the SB LIVE! 5.1)
    quote below:
    I have bought a new PC with an MSI k8n sli platinum MB. this mainboard has a built in soundblaster live!24-bit chip onboard. it works great on headphones and normal 2 set speakers (analog connection).
    however, when I try to set them up at the DTT3500 speaker set, trouble begins.
    before continuing, just want to say First that my older PC is standing next to it, with a Soundblaster live! 5.1. If I connect with this PC to my speaker set, via the digital uitput, everythin works great. (5.1 surround).
    In the DTT3500 manual, when Digital DIN is blinking, it says it isn't recieving any signal, or not the right one (like AC-3). (I know this when on my old PC when I switch to headphones, the digital din is then blinking, which is normal as I disabled Digital output in Windows)
    now my questions:
    Is this digital port is ac-3 signal or somthing else on the Soundblaster live! 24-bit?
    Do I need to use another type of cable, like SPDIF Din Cable? (I now have a minijack to Din cable)
    I tried with optical, it works, but only with 2 speakers (left and right / digital output is on). is this normal? If i look at the manual, it's typical used for gameconsoles with stereo left and right. I guess this is so with the DDT3500 decoder...?
    if I try Digital Din on the Decoder, it doesn't work. the Decoder Led keeps blinking. Yet in Windows, digital output is on and 5.1 speakers is selected.
    In short, exact the same setup on the Decoder and PC as my older PC.
    My guess is the the soundblaster live! 24-bit is an enhanced version of the soundblaster live! 5.1? Am I wrong, I don't know....
    I do know that the reviews said you could use the digital port (orange one)"
    NOTE, yesterday, I disable the onboard SB live! 24 bit card, plugged in the SB live! 5.1 card from my other PC. This works ok like it should.
    I would apreciate any help, as i'm really stuck at the moment & I just hate to disable this lovely onboard card.

  • K9N Platinum Motherboard problem???

    Hello. I got a K9N-Platinum motherboard and AM2 X2 4600+ CPU. However, I often got the following problem:
    My system sometimes froze, no response at all, couldn't use mouse and keyboard of course.
    1) I set up the system to shut down monitor after 60 minutes. However, sometimes the system couldn't
    recover, all parts stopped working, including hard disks.
    2) When the hard disk is transferring, such phenomenon could happen again.
    Finally I found a solution. I had to manually set up the CPU voltage to "1.35V" in BIOS which can resolve my problem completely.
    This problem only happened when the cpu voltage was set to "auto".
    I thought it was a power management problem, so I installed hotfix KB896256 and KB924441 and all dual-core
    cpu optimizers, the problem still existed.
    My system is as follows:
    K9N Platinum with BIOS 1.6 (601-7250-070********)
    AM2 X2 4600+
    Geil DDR2 800 1G*2
    Inno3D 7900GS
    Western Digital Raptor 37G
    Liteon 18X DVD burner
    500W PSU
    I want to know whether this is a defect of my motherboard. Any advices would be appreciated.
    Thanks.mate.
     

    Quote from: cxy1808 on 13-May-07, 09:43:20
    Can understand the question "what CPU core do you have"?
    I have the AM2 dual core 4600+ CPU,Windsor core, 89W watt.
    yep that i have asked, well there is nothing to worry about voltage applied manually matched with your default CPU vcore.

    BIOS v7.4b2 is a BETA-Release of the BIOS-Series that prepares the upcoming v7.4 Final Version. It is not available for public download and MSI Live Update is not programmed to find it for you.
    Also, as every Windows based flash is inherently risky and much more dangerous than any DOS based flashing mething, I suggest you do not use MSI Live Update for BIOS Updates.  Unless you are prepared and ready to face the increased risk of a bad flash resulting from using this tool, it is in your own best interest to choose a flashing procedure that will update the BIOS from a plain DOS environment.
    I have uploaded the 7.4b2-BIOS (BETA) in the following post.  Flash it at your own risk!

  • MSI X48c Platinum boot problem

    Hi,
    I recently bought a X48c Platinum and it was working fine for the last 3 weeks, but when tried to turn on my computer this morning, it failed.  (I did not change anything in my configuration.)
    The power led turns on and the HDD led blinks at a fixed interval.
    All the fans start and keep going at full speed.
    After a while the computer turns itself of and goes into a "reboot" loop, it turns on for half a second and shuts down again and repeats this every 5 seconds.
    At the moment the only thing installed on the motherboard is the CPU (and the PSU connections) and it's still not working.
    Is this a known problem, has anyone ever had the same problem, or is my motherboard just dead?
    Mandatory info (although probably not relevant):
    Intel q6600 @ 2.4ghz (arctic freezer 7 pro)
    X48C Platinum (MS-7353 ver:3.0)
    GEIL, DDR2800, 2*2GB
    Ati Radeon 4870 (512mb)
    Western digital 1tb 5400rpm / samsung spinpoint 500gb 7200rpm / kingston SSDnow 40gb
    Windows 7 64bit (ultimate)
    OCZ600SXS (3.3v/36a, 5v/30a, 12v/18a)

    I went back to the store and got a new motherboard, after I got back it still wasn't working.
    Bought a new PSU and it's working again, my motherboard, PSU and DVD drive were all broken 
    Probably a power surge or something.
    Anyway, thought I'd post how I "fixed" the problem 

  • Adobe Live Cycle 8 grace Period Problem

    I had Adobe Acrobat ver. 5 which I was unable to uninstall due to some corrupt files.
    Then I tried to install Adobe Acrobat Professional ver 8 . It popped up an error message that You already have a version of adobe which is to be removed. Hence I formatted my C: drive and then successfully installed Adobe Professional Ver 8 . It was a trial version for 30 days.
    But when I tried opening Adobe Live Cycle which comes with it, a message popped up saying that Grace Period is over . Please download e-license. My friends who earlier had installed Adobe Professional from the CD are not getting any messages .
    Any Ideas to solve the problem.
    P

    I think you can do this two ways:
    1. Use radio buttons and chnage the appearence to look like checkboxes
    2. Add some Java script to the checkboxes to set the other checkboxes to null (use the rawValue property)

  • SB Live 5.1 Platinum- The LIVE Drive2 Not Working On Windows Vista 32

    SB Li've 5. Platinum- The? LIVE Dri've2 Not Working On Windows Vista 32BIT?i need halp?tnks

    You mean you get audio at all??Heh. I did hear of Windows Update giving some sort of 2. sound so maybe that's what you have. Since Creative isn't going to do any work on the old Li've series (non-24bit), I suggest you try the latest beta kXProject drivers from the driverheaven.net kXProject forum. 3538l is Windows Vista compatible. Just install it with UAC turned off. Don't know how much is working, but it's possible that your Li'veDri've is one of the things. See for yourself. Better than the basic Microsoft implementation, especially for your 5. speaker support.

  • X-FI platinum, huge problem please help. entertainment mode distortion,screeching Vista 32

    My x-fi platinum just out of the blue stopped working. When it was working it still had problems of not being detected by the computer till i restarted it several times. Now when i play any kind of sound when its on it plays distorted screeching sounds or just completly stops, this is in Entertainment mode. now when i switch to audio creation or game mode. It plays fine for a bit, and then screeching, static noises start playing. It use to work fine on entertainment mode but for some reason everything has halted. I play my music/sounds through a external receivor which my sound card is connected to. I think it might have something to do with a spdif output problem, but im still not sure. I tried unplugging my other pci cards other then my cga and i still have the problem. I dont know if some setting in the bios was disabled or enabled or what as im pulling my hair out over this issue.Message Edited by plokkr23 on 2-04-20070:02 AM
    Message Edited by plokkr23 on 2-04-20070:08 AM

    im getting something similar. Can you check your Sound Control panel and tell me - when the distortion is most evident - if microphone is MUTED or Not. I have NO SOUND issues when Microphone is muted, but when it isn't - whether the microphone is plugging in or not - i have tons of distortion. It began out of no where, within the last 3 days.
    I've found minor temp fixes that don't fix the problem and I wish i knew a long term one, or even what the hell caused it.

  • :K8N Neo4 SLI Platinum bios problem

     I have a strange problem with this bios, it goes back to default when you shut it down for awhile.
    The date goes back to Jan 1 2004 and all settings go to default.
    I've changed the battery thinking sure that was the problem, I've heard they've had some problems.
    The funny thing is if you shut it down and then restart it it's ok, but if you leave it for awhile it goes
    back to default. I flashed to 3.7 bios thought that might do it, but no such luck.
    MSI said just get the board or bios serviced, has anyone ever got a new bios chip from MSI?
    I'm trying to get this fixed without all the hassle, but it's not looking good.
    I like the board everything else has went fine, I guess I could leave it running 24\7's.
    When you make changes in the bios all works great, no problems except it won't hold them.

    I checked the sticky's (which I should have done to start with) I see there have been a lot of
    problems like this.
    Most of the problems have been with the K8N Neo4 Platinum, mine is the sli platinum but the problem
    seems the same.
    The bios shows the new energizer I put in at 2.86.
    I will try to fix this as it was a refurbished board from Newegg.
    I tried the cmos button several times and it made no difference, most of the complaints were having
    to change batteries every 2 to weeks.
    The new battery I put in didn't last the next morning when I booted it up it was right back to default
    and didn't even see the raid setup.
    It only takes about 1 minute to reset it but thats a pain in the butt, as I said if you just shut it down
    for a little while it saves the bios setting's fine.
    I like the board, it overclocks fine if you can keep the settings.
    I'm going to take the board out where I can get a good look in the batt. holder and see if I can
    see anything that might short the batt.
           Thanks for the reply  and any other suggestions   

  • Audigy-2 ZS Platinum Application problems with New driv

    All the issues you guys are talking about have been reported in beta stage of these new drivers. I would say none of them has been fixed yet. The only solution for now is to use previous drivers which work fine or use some modified drivers which fixes some issues, but not all. Your choice.
