Software Developer API into Creative Sound Mi

Hi All
Not sure whether this is the right forum to ask software development questions but couldn't seem to find an appropriate forum.
I was wondering if Creative supplies an API (application programming interface) into its Surround Mixer Application.
The reason being that I have an Audigy 2 ZS and I want to programmatically adjust the volume on each of the 6 output channels (5.).
Thanks in advance.

Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio (PCI-Express) + Vista 32bit an media pla

Hi folks,Maybe someone here can help me with this issue, I recently bought a Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio 7. Sound Card - OEM (PCI-Express), it arri'ved with the cd with software and drivers on it and i installed it into my vista 32bit without any problems.On rebooting my sound was working normally and as far as i could tell all was great untill that is i went to play some mp3 using windows media player, wmp kept telling me it couldnt play the file type then i tried to play a wma file an got the same thing, basically almost all audio types will no longer play in wmp. I rolled back the driver to use the microsoft driver (high defination audio device) and everything is playing in media player again.Only now i cant use the software suppiled with the card. Anyone have any idea how to use the creative driver and get wmp to play properly thanks in advance.
(in addition) after some messing around with various settings i discovered that this seems to be caused by the sb enhancements, when i disable them in speaker properties wmp plays as it should, althought i am rather disappointed that i have to disable the features on the card inorder to get it to work properly.

Hi Orion,
You might want to get in touch with support to enquire about the CD.

LR develop module disabled/Creative Cloud App crashing

Hello everyone. The Lightroom develop module will is not functioning for me. It only give me the message "The develop module is disabled. Please restart Lightroom to sign into creative cloud." When I try and sign into my Creative Cloud app, it will not open. I've uninstalled and reinstalled CC twice and tired restarting Lightroom with no resolution. I'm using LR 5.7.1 on a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.10.2 . I've purchased my licenses outright to LR5 and CS5 and so do not have a creative cloud membership, and am not currently planning to upgrade. I downloaded the creative cloud app in order to download Lightroom and PS when I purchased a new computer. Any help appreciated, thanks in advance!

If you don't have a creative cloud subscription, then you can't download Lightroom from the creative cloud and install it! It doesn't work that way. In order for that installation of Lightroom to function properly you must have a currently paid creative cloud subscription. Otherwise, the develop module WILL be disabled. You must remove that installation of Lightroom from your computer and download and install from this website:
Adobe - Lightroom : For Macintosh : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1
This is the trial version of the latest release for the Mac. After you install it and run the program, a trial screen will appear. One of the options is to indicate that you have a serial number. Choose that option, and you will be guided through the process of entering your serial number. In the future, do not try to download and use anything from the creative cloud unless you decide you are going to subscribe.
And you cannot use Photoshop from the creative cloud either. You have a license for CS5, which is old software that is not supported by Adobe anymore. Photoshop from the creative cloud is Photoshop CC, at least two major upgrades since what you are licensed to use. You will have to use the installation disk for Photoshop CS5. Then you can update the Camera Raw through the help menu. You will be able to update to Camera Raw 6.7. But that is as far as you can go. The creative cloud is totally irrelevant as far as you are concerned. Forget about it.

Programmatic Control of X-FI ??? // Two Creative Sound Cards on Same PC ???

The pc about below is currently running WinXP, but I plan to replace it with a Vista based machine in early?200.
1] Can someone please point me in the right directions? I would like to use something like an API or some other interface method to control the volume level of the X-FI usb device. Hopefully to be able to control the volume of?each of the 5 channels independently as well as the master volume. In other words,?have a dotNET program (or VB script, etc etc) that will interface with the X-FI via something running on the same pc. I would prefer it to interface with one of the SoundBlaster or Creative softwares so as to not reinvent any wheels, but that is an option. The simpler the better. I don't need anything fancy and probably just the controlling the volume?levels will work fine.
Alternately, it might be possible to control the X-FI with an IR remote, but I am not aware of IR functionality in? the X-FI.
2] I am also wondering: How do I run two different Creative sound cards on the same pc without issues? The rational for this is that I want to improve the sound quality of our home theater pc to 7. Creative quality level, but I need the X-FI to control audio for the home automation software that runs on the same pc. The home automation software generates Text To Speech audio which does not need to flow through the high quality Creative sound card. I was hoping to use the X-FI in a simple mode to route the TTS speech audio out to 4 or 5 sets of speakers as monaural voice. During different occupancy times and night time, its very useful to lower the volume level (especially upstairs when sleeping).
I have a hunch the X-FI would be a truly awesome device to use for this purpose. There are many other people who would like to do this same thing. It would be nice to have a device like the X-FI that is widely available.
Thanks much for any and all help. Sorry if this is so 'newbie', but I just don;t know how to start.

Making free software development profitable

OK, this maybe rather off the topic of GNU/Linux but bear with me
Free software has come a long way and all thanks to generous contributions of numerous souls who have put in their most valuable asset, time, to develop a huge body of software we can all enjoy.
Now a good number of free software developers work for commercial companies and get paid to do what they do. That is cool too. In fact that is great! If one could live off money earned by developing free software ... I mean that is fantastic. Financially benefiting in addition to helping the community is certainly better than one or the other alone. But this kind of job is rare.
What if more (or every) free software developer could be financially compensated for their contributions? I'm sure there is a good amount of pessimism about the idea of expecting money for something that can otherwise be obtained for free. And that's justified, except there is always the assumption that the developer makes something and then asks for money. That is the trend (and perhaps has been). I'm referring to donations. There is always the software before the donation button. There are two issues with donations:
1. you have to have something first before getting paid for it (which provides little to no motivation for those able to contribute but whom don't have time due to their commitments to their paying jobs)
2. donations are not directed at anything specific, you don't know if the $5 you sent to that great girl/guy is going to his project A or B (which provides little motivation for users to pay because of uncertainty)
Now a model like that of kickstarter.com would solve less than half of the issues here. I personally think that kickstarter like services are geared towards creative projects, projects for which there is not necessarily a need at first. In free software communities however, it's very prevalent for users to be looking for something they need but not quite finding it. It could be a feature they need, a bug that needs fixing. Do you see where I'm going with this? Yep. Issue trackers with a twist!
A service which allows users to submit bugs/requests/ideas and offer money to whoever can get it done. But (a big but), the end result of the software has to be free software (otherwise you got yourself a rentacoder kind of service). A simple (or complicated if necessary) reputation based system would create trust in developers not to steal money and in users to pay what they pledged. This sounds like fundraising and that's exactly what it is. The difference is: it's focused and streamlined. You know who/what/why you're paying.
What's the incentive for the user to pay? Well they *need* something that doesn't exist. They can file a bug report and hope someone will take notice. Or they can get attention by offering to pay for what they need. From view point of some, this kind of transactional environment goes against the values of free software. It may seem unfair for those who can't afford (or want) to pay as much to get equal attention. This and other kind of issues are what I like to discuss with you.
I believe a well thought implementation of such system can change face of free software and accelerate its development.
Thoughts?

This is interesting. I hadn't come across these guys before, either because they have poor SEO or I am incompetent in searching
Having looked at some of the projects, it seems to be more or less active (not sure if they're thriving). I also had a read of their process and FAQ. What I have in mind seems to differ quite significantly with what those guys are doing in regards to the funding and the general process. They're doing it in a collaborative manner using an organic approach of allowing change to requirements and funding along the way. I'm thinking of the same type of collaboration in planning and design stages, but with a more stable state past the funding stage. In particular, I think kickstarter.com method of goal based time limited fundraising to be more successful in attracting developers to work on a project. I would describe the process I have in mind as follows:
- a user/developer submits a project idea (could be as big as an entire app or as small as a bug fix)
- other users can discuss the project, or create sub-projects and discuss those
- users also indicate on each project how much they're willing to contribute financially (without commitment)
- developers can submit proposals on any (sub) project
- proposals must have clearly indicated specs and deliverables as well as a funding goal and deadline
- proposals can be discussed just like project ideas and developers amend the specs as necessary to reflect the discussions
- developer decides it is time to finalize and start fund raising
- at this point the specs are frozen and a time limited fund raising window is open for users to "pledge" (kickstarter's term)
- if the funding goal set by developer is met, all the funds are transferred from users' accounts to the developer's account, otherwise no one's charged
- developer starts to work on the project, checking in regularly to post status updates
- a reputation system awards or takes away reputation points from developers based on their ability to meet deadlines, deliver what they promised, etc.
- developers can be permanently banned (based on their billing details) from the site if they simply don't get any work done or otherwise violate a term
- developers are limited on how much funding goal they can set based on their reputation (this helps building trust)

My Past, Present & Future with Creative Sound Blaster cards

I wrote a small product review of a Z-series card i regrettably purchased and creative responded. I replied to them and copied+pasted it here. First and foremost please understand this is just an open letter talking about my love for and mostly positive experiences with the Sound Blaster line of cards since the mid-late 1990s.
Attached is an annotated picture of almost all the Creative hardware I've bought over the years.
Take a good long look at that picture. Think about how many songs have been played through those devices, think of how many movies have been heard through those devices, think of how many games made me jump out of my seat from sound effects heard through those devices, and lastly think how many thousands of hours this amounts to.
STOP READING and LOOK at that attached PICTURE.
I use the word 'almost' because it does not include the card I recently purchased off e-bay, which was listed as (and was) mint condition new, and cost me $250.... a Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Champion Series card.
If the direction Creative is going to continue to go is the direction that it's been going over the past handful of years this will be the last Creative product myself or anyone i influence or make purchasing decisions for will ever buy. Being in my mid 30s I'd say you'll miss out on at least another 20-30+ years of future product purchases.
Below is my address of your reply to my review of your product in a piece by piece layout:
"Based on user feedback we've done the following:
- Take up less disk space"
I run two 128GB SSDs in a hardware based (LSI Logic 8704ELP) raid-0 array so the disk footprint of drivers and software is important to me but whatever space you reduced your driver to is trivial.
%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Creative\(ALchemy, AudioCS AutoMode Switcher, Console Launcher, Shared Files, ShareDLL,THX Console, Volume Panel)
in total take up about 100MB of space. reducing this means NOTHING because it does not allow for more hefty software (Games or Design/Drafting/3D-Modelling Software) to be installed. Now if say your driver and software had a 1GB footprint and you reduced it to 500MB that would be significant because 500MB is enough space to account for one or 2 of average installation footprints of the products in the Adobe Creative Suite. Reducing the size from 100MB to 25MB/50MB/75MB is moot.
"- Optimized controls for touch screens"
This point is amusing, why? because you are making the same mistake Microsoft made with Windows 8 & Metro. Most people who buy a creative sound card are putting it in a PC and do not have a touchscreen. I don't manage a lot of computers but the ~200 i am responsible for bypassed Windows 8 (maybe even Windows 9, we'll see) and either moved from Windows XP to Windows 7 or they will be staying with Windows 7 for the foreseeable future. The touch centric design of Windows 8 is a significant part of this decision despite all the things Microsoft did that i think are steps forward (like better native support for multiple display devices to name one example).
"- Streamlined the interface so it's easier to navigate (removed "modes" and have all controls available regardless what you want to use the card for)."
Dumbing-down a product to reach a greater audience is walking the fine line of Quality vs. Quantity. Why you've sacrificed significant Quality to increase Quantity i do not know. While I will agree making 1 interface instead of 3 can be a potential step forward you did more than streamlining the user interface- you removed prominent, useful, and important features.
"- Better tie in with the Windows audio sub-system."
Through out the decade the only problems I experienced with Windows and my Creative products i can count on one hand. The first would be when Microsoft abandoned DirectSound and moved to an UAA based audio stack in Vista forward and your company dropped the ball and Daniel_K picked it up and made working drivers for your products and you went after him... I was one of the people who used his working drivers to make your sound card work properly when you failed to do so. Second was the fact that you people charged for ALchemy when the move to Vista occurred... this was truly a sh*ty thing to do. The third was the X-RAM causing a BSOD (STOP 0x50 - PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA) in windows on a regular random basis because of your device drivers and the best working solution was to disable using the X-RAM on the card- a selling point of the cards to begin with (albeit in years prior).
Allow me to elaborate some more while I have time since it's sunday night and the family is busy with other things and will be off to bed thereafter.
Creative's device drivers and software has always been a point of contention. You don't make the install discs available for download on your website for starters. This is a fascist move on your part. Your driver installation procedure and reliability is hit or miss. I personally have not had a lot of trouble with the drivers (only a few hiccups here and there) but i have read on the forums where all sorts of other people have (I'm not in disagreeing that their problems are partially their fault, but that's the price of running Windows instead of buying a Mac). My experience with your driver software suites over the years have been mostly (A) "When it works as expected it's sheer aural bliss beyond that of any other sound card in existence! THIS is why 'Sound Blaster Compatible' was what other companies put on their products, because Creative set the standard for everyone else to meet." but also sometimes (B) "everything installed and worked fine but now something is corrupt and not all the speakers have sound coming from them or the sound is all screwed up and the driver won't uninstall/reinstall/update correctly because it's corrupt and it's not deleting the driver files because windows has the files locked and safe mode isn't helping so now i have to physically remove the card from the PC and try to completely clean out my system of the Creative software. I can't believe they went after Daniel_K the way they did, i wish he'd come back and fix their drivers. Now which box did i put that install cd in...."
There are 2 reasons I've bought Creative sound cards for over a decade now. CMSS 3D when listening to music while working throughout the day and EAX in videogames at night.
I remember the moment when I experienced EAX for the very first time. I was in college and over at a friend's place. He had just got a new game called Thief: The Dark Project. I remember him telling me about something new called EAX and that only Creative cards had it and that it was supposed to be awesome. About an hour later after watching and HEARING him play Thief I was hooked. Creative had secured a place for it's hardware in my budget for every PC i built from that day forward.
Being that I've worked from home for about a decade now I will listen to music while I work and get in an hour or so of gaming at night as time allows. Straight off the bat the first time i ticked that box for CMSS 3D long long ago and heard music coming from every speaker in my home office i was amazed and overwhelmed. Then when you introduced the ability to set the individual speaker distance and volume from the listening position it was the icing on the cake. I was surround by sound. It was SHEER AURAL BLISS. This feature called CMSS 3D would become the second reason I purchased and recommended Creative sound cards for the decade to come.
As i stated in my review, the only reason i bought a new sound card was because the motherboard I was purchasing had no PCI slots (I remember when motherboards stopped having ISA slots as well...). Before making my purchase I read. I read a lot. I read about the changes you made with the X-Fi Titanium HD and then the Recon3D, and the more i read the more a feeling of apprehension began to take hold. Then i got to reading about the Z-series and read about some of the positive changes between it and the Recon3D line of cards and I became a bit more hopeful.
Sadly my apprehension was spot on... Listening to music was a worse experience when compared to my X-Fi Platinum (or even my old Audigy 2)... and did not even come close to justifying the purchase of the card compared to just using the integrated sound capabilities of my motherboard, an ASRock Z87 OC Formula/ac. But none the less I still had EAX to fall back on right? wrong... I installed a couple games, some new and some old, some with EAX and some without, and for about 2 weeks i played a bit of each one to see how the card handled new and old games. Sadly EAX compatibility didn't even matter because it was overshadowed by poor directional audio reproduction... that same front center speaker that was overbearing when listening to music was noticeable when gaming to the point that it was negatively affecting my gaming experience. I tweaked and toggled every setting i could and even uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers and software to try to mitigate this but to my dismay i could not. It was at this point I went weighing my options... and looking for an X-Fi Titanium (NON-HD!) and suffered the capitalist price gouging that occurs in such supply & demand situations... at least i talked the guy down from his original asking price of $300. I bit the bullet on this because chances are this is going to be the last Creative card i ever own...
I've had my Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Champion Series installed for just over a week now. Everything sounds precise and as it should when you have a quality piece of hardware paired with quality software. Directional audio in games comes from all speakers appropriately and not excessively from the front center speaker unless it's supposed to. Ambient music floats through the air all through out the day creating that familiar feeling of sheer aural bliss as it did before. The only downside is I'm getting to experience the problems other people have with this card (strange loud static-like warble EMI type noise coming from speakers, unaffected by windows volume control) but I have found a work around that I'm using on the rare occasion this happens (disable the device in device manager, re-enable device in device manager).
Chances are what i've written above is perhaps an opening soliloquy of the requiem for the Creative Sound Blaster, the card that defined an industry and the company that turned it's back on it. I don't expect anything to come from this letter and I don't expect a meaningful reply from you. You'll probably write me justifying your decisions you've made with your product line and offer some false sincerity about how you are happy i am enjoying my price-gouged discontinued soundcard i had to buy off e-bay because your current line of products are not a step back in your eyes because of the profits they turn. This generation of customers who buy your Platinum HD, or Reco3D or Z-series line of cards probably oblivious to what they are missing out on (through no fault of their own), funny how the bliss of ignorance works and lines your pockets...
It saddens me that i had to buy a discontinued product off e-bay because it's a better product than what your company currently offers. I wish this wasn't the way things turned out. When you dropped the fun presets and finite control of the EAX effects during the transition from the Audigy to the X-Fi line of cards I noticed but since they were not the main reason I owned a Creative card I tolerated it. But now you've gone and ruined the features that were the reasons i bought Creative cards, and this I will not oblige.
My Creative Hardware.jpg

@To the OP:
I own a X-Fi Elite Pro for the past 8 years now.
Since there, this card has faithfullly seen me through 3 major PC upgrades.
I'm currently at a point where, very sadly, much of what you've described is also weighing on my decision to not go for a Z line.
@Creative:
I do hope you're listening and can come up with a solution to a simply design feature - namely a fully working Stereo Surround, like the one that was available in the X-Fi line of cards via CMSS-3D.

How do I know when a file loaded into a Sound object is invalid?

I'm writing an app that allows the user to play various sound files.
Some of these files are mp3, but some may also be ogg, wma, etc. The selection is out of my control, so I need the sound API to tell me if it can't play something.
To test, I loaded some test files into a sound object like so:
                var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://support.microsoft.com/support/MediaPlayer/wmptest/samples/new/mediaexample.wma");
                var sound:Sound = new Sound();
                var soundChannel:SoundChannel = sound.play();
Even though Flex doesn't play wma's there is no error information or null objects anywhere. Everthings seems to be fine to flex, I can even register for progress events and see the wma being loaded.
Just to see how far this goes, I loaded a gif instead of an audio file and the same thing happened. Progress went fine with no errors of any kind even though I registered for every listed event. As expected though, no sound played from the gif file.
What is the recommended way for checking if a file is not playable?

I'm looking more for an "is it playable" value (since it might be an FLA or FLV as well).
Even a meaningful length value would work (for some reason duration is set to a value even when loading a gif file - not sure what it means for a GIF to have a length of 96 milliseconds).
For now I'll have to filter on extension as you mentioned.

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.

I would like to use Java version 6.

Hi John,
I sort of remember Java 6 being IntelMac only...
Once you’ve gotten logged in, go to Downloads, select “Java” on the right hand side of the page, and download the Java SE 6 beta. Note: this is only available for Intel Macs running Tiger or Leopard — if you’ve got a G4 or G5, you’re out of luck right now

But here they are...

Can I do Java 6 development in OS X?...

Take a look at the following thread:http://forums.creative.com/creativel...message.id=994?That is the best you can get. Did you run WindowsUpdate to get the drivers installed?If you did, just change the speaker setup to?4 speakers, then check and uncheck the?Digital Output Only checkbox to get sound back.

Paste Develop Settings into multiple images ?

I develop a particular image that has similar light and exposure to many that follow, so I want to past those develop settings into the several images that follow. I highlight the several remaining images at the bottom shown thumbnails. I paste the develop setting. The setting seems to be applied to only the LAST image that I selected. Is this behaviour as expected?
I've only been able to manually paste the development settings into each of the images, ONE AT A TIME, which is quite tedious, compared to being able to do it to a group of images at once.
I would prefer to be able to paste the development setting to multiple images in one fell swoop.

Or use Auto Sync mode in Develop. Select multiple images in filmstrip or in Library's grid, then in Develop Ctrl/Cmd (Win/Mac) click the Sync button and it'll change to Auto Sync. Once it's on, it stays on. I almost always work this way - YMMV.
The modal thing is no big deal, just smoke thrown up by Aperture fans who're smart enough to spot differences and creative enough to twist them into a way of justifying their fanboyism. Library works on cached data, Develop accesses the original data. Once you get into Auto Sync, and learn your keyboard shortcuts, modal is nearly irrelevant.

Multiple Creative sound devices in one system

-Multiple Creative sound devices in one systemrHello community, I recently tried to get two X-Fi Titanium PCI-Express cards to work in one computer. One card worked well. As soon as i plugged in the second card and booted the system, i got a quite reliable bluescreen SYSTEM_EXIT_OWNED_MUTEX, which indicates improper handling of shared ressources by the driver. I performed extensi've testing on two different machines with both Windows 7 64-Bit and Windows XP 32, freshly installed and patched, latest drivers, no other software or sound hardware present, but the problem persisted. I contacted support an was told that a such a combination is neither tested nor supported by Creative. So now I am stuck with two expensi've cards, that don't work together. Is there any information from Creative which devices will work flawlessly together if combined? For example the X-Fi Go!. It's USB. How many of those will work together in one system? (if more than ) Can I plug in a Soundblaster Play USB device simultaniously? Does Creative test for things like these? And why ist there a "Select Audio Device" option in the Creative Console application if multiple cards don't work?

Hi Suresh
Generally it is not possible to activate two industry solution in
switch framework .(transaction SFW5) ..But we can make the activation
of industry solution as client dependent and client independent . if we
make it as client dependent then we can activate different industry solution
for each client
To know whether the activation is client dependent or client
independent you need to check table SFWPARAM for any entries. If it
does not have any entry then its client independent (repository changes)
It affects all the clients. Please make entry in table SFWPARAM
and try !
I hope this information helps
Regards
VV
