Audigy 2 ZS Notebook boot iss

I have an Audigy 2 ZS Notebook card that I have been using for my laptop for a while now. It works perfectly and I really love it. I got a desktop recently and wanted to use my Audigy in it, so I bought a PCMCIA to PCI adapter so that I could put my Audigy into the desktop. I'm having issues with booting up my computer while the Audigy is inserted into the slot, however. The computer freezes during the "welcome" screen (Windows XP) and I have to reboot and remove the card for it to boot properly. When I put the card in after the desktop is fired up, it works fine.
Is there a way to boot up my desktop without having to remove the Audigy every time?

Hello?

When Recording a new track, previous track is copied to the new track as well

I have an Audigy 4 Pro. I am experiencing a problem when I try to record a multi-track project. I have a microphone plugged into the "Line-In 1/Mic In" input. I can record the first track fine, but when I record the second track, the audio from track one is copied onto track two along with the new audio. This occurs in both Cubase LE and Magix Music Studio 11. I am following the software instructions very closely, so I don't think the problem is there. It seems to me that the Audigy is probably mixing the playback signal with the input signal before sending it to the recording software, but I don't know how to correct this. I am wearing headphones, so the track one audio is not being picked up by the microphone. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You're propably using non native ASIO drivers w/ .rec source set to "What U Hear" or native ASIO drivers w/ rec source set to "Mix L".
Use native Craetive ASIO drivers (you should have there Creative ASIO, SB Audigy 4 ASIO and SB Audigy 4 24/96 ASIO to select from) and set input to "Mic n" for microphone, "Analog Mix L" for line source.
There are some explanation on ASIO drivers (it's made for Audigy 2 Plat eX but, I suppose it's about the same w/ A4 too.) behind link -->
http://forums.creative.com/creativel...essage.id=1726
You can also use below settings for microphone when using CT ASIO:
Also, on Cubase LE, remember switch the Input Monitoring (speaker button on every track header) "ON" when recording and switch it OFF when playback/mixing.

Audigy 2 ZS notebook 24bit sound card

Hi,
I would like to use Creative Audigy 2 ZS (PCMCIA slot) 24bit sound card to generate sine, square, noise signals and my Labview version is 5.1 RT.
I' m looking for a VI that allows me to use this sound card as variable freq. signal source.
Could someone help me.
Many thanks
antonio

I haven't had 5.1 installed for a long time. Have you checked there are no shipped examples through the example finder or its equivalent.
This link http://zone.ni.com/devzone/devzoneweb.nsf/opendoc?openagent&F48CD397F4802D548625683A000BA37A&cat=DF6... is supposed to have the LVSOUND vi's but its under review what ever that means.
A search google lead to this http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/niepd_web_display.display_epd4?p_guid=B4B316D82B8F01FEE034080020E74861&p_...

Audigy 2 Z2 Notebook PCMCIA Card cannot install Creative Mediasource 5

. Every time I try and install CMS5 on the Audigy 2 Z2 Notebook PCMCIA Card, I keep getting this ERROR:
[color="#ff0000"]DoInstall Fails to Launch C:\Windows\CRF002\CTXInst\Setup.inx DoInstall return error code is - 2472332
here is the file name of the install: CMS5-BRNR_PCAPP_LB_5_0_44.exe
I have re-installed, all creative drivers, I even clean installed them, and i still get this error, any ideas?
EDIT: I fixed the problem, you have to install the older CMS5 before the latest new driver will work............well duh!

Thank you for the reply split0,
as for the informati've post, thank you for the compliment, i tend to not open a thread at all unless i have spent enough time on the problem and searched around enough for solutions, and after that i only post if it has enough info regarding everything in inside the thread.
In regard to the known incompatibility list, unfortunatly this is one of the things i checked beforehand already.
The PCMCIA adapter in my laptop is a Texas Instruments PCI-8x2/7x2/6x2 CardBus-controller.
Which is one of the most common controllers and should normally not cause any troubles at all, also in another thread on this forum i found a differant driver for it, i even tried that with no result sadly.
At the moment personally i am thinking the whole problem lies within not being able to uninstall the onboard sound card to full extent somehow, and while i posted here i also have all this info in a direct message sent to creative, and even acer for that matter.
In hopes of some kind of solution for this so i can keep my hopes up for not having to return the card itself.
What bugs me is that there is option at all to disable the onboard sound through the bios.
Because right now whenever i install the ZS notebook card it checks hardware for the onboard first installing it again, then setting priority for the zs notebook.
This is what seems to result in the crashes through a conflict in drivers in my idea, but thats just a hunch which i cant do anything about currently in regard to testing unless someone has an idea for me to try.

HELP! Audigy 2 ZS Notebook used with Vista and can't reco

I just installed my Audigy 2 ZS Notebook PCMCIA card and cannot figure out how to record in both Adobe Audition .5 and Sony Acid 6.0b.

Audigy 2 ZS Notebook MIDI playback problem

Hi guys, I have a following problem. I recently obtained PCMCIA SB Audigy 2 ZS Notebook. I'm running it on an older DELL Inspiron 5160, Win XP (latest possible service pack and drivers), P4 3.0GHz, 2 Gigs of RAM (max). Onboard audio SigmaTel is disabled.
I had no problem installing driver from Creative CD, playback and recording works fine. I can even play midi files in Windows Media Player. I knew I had to install drivers from CD in order to be able to use soundfonts, latest drivers do not support that.
There is the only problem - when I try to use the software keyboard in the Bank Manager, where I loaded up my sf2 banks, it does not make a sound. For writing midi songs, I used to use old MidiSession program. I can't hear anything there either. Strange thing is, when I play any midi file in the Widows Media Player - at the exact same time, both things mentioned above work, keyboard or MidiSession. I have no idea why that is. I tried to uninstall and reinstall Creative drivers and software, nothing. Since I can't update to a newer driver, I'm at loss here.
I used to have the same setup on my desktop (except the PCMCIA version) and all worked just fine.
Does anyone has any idea what could be causing this? Thanks.

? A soundfont cannot contain alle drumkits, and it is not nessecary at all. I dont know a soundfont bank wich contains a complete set of drumkits, too. There are only some soundfonts like the crysis soundfont (to big for its "bad" quality) wich have some dummy-drumkits/ entrys or slightly modified sounds for each than usual. If all drumnkits would be stored in high-quality, the soundfont would be huge... Every synth i know uses the standard drumkit, if the chosen one is not existent. This is not optimal, but it will guarantee, that the the MIDI file or Program/ game will work. The KXDrivers wont do this. SO they are not useable for General MIDI. Only for MIDIs and soundfonts fitting together. But thats not the point of General MIDI. CMSS isnt working with these drivers, too. Dolby decoding/ encoding isnt possible with them, either. These drivers are not bad, but if you want a completely working card, KXdrivers are worthless.

Multi-track Recording with Audigy (input level adjustment of 6 tracks)

Hi,
Has anyone used an Audigy (or similar) to record more than 2 channels?
I have an Audigy 4, which I use for 24 bit recordings. Usually I just use 2 channels, and an ASIO4ALL v2 interface which probably uses the "WDM:SB Audigy 4 Audio [D880]" driver.
However, there's another driver I can select which is "SB Audigy 4 ASIO 24/96 [D880]", and this gives me 6 input channels corresponding to the R and L channels of the inputs line , 2 and 3. This is great, and seems to work OK, but whereas I can control the levels of the incoming signals (on line 3 L/R) with the 2 channel driver, the Creative surround mixer doesn't have any control over the input levels in the 6 channel case, so I'm stuck with having to adjust the level of the incoming signal externally.
Has anyone found a solution to this difficulty? I've updated to the latest drivers.
I'm using Windows XP pro. and the recording software is n-Track 5.1.
Thanks,
Peter

HI, I dont know if anyone has had this happen to them or not. I Have a MODEL # SB0090 Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy with 394 PCI Sound Card with the front controls. I have used it for years. I just re-loaded it into a new computer and loaded the new driver. When I had the old driver loaded I got a very harsh repeated ......BLAP.....BLAP.......BLAP.......BLAP it was very nasty and sounded like a cd skipping. I loaded the new driver and that got rid of the BLAP skipping thing. Now with the new driver when I bring up the windows play and record controls and when I have the Mutes all off and say for example AUX 2 selected, as soon as I arm the track in Sonar the AUX 2 on the windows play control auto mutes right before my eyes I can then de-select mute and the track stays armed, BUT as soon as I hit record it will auto mute again yet the meters still move and it still records and I am able to de-select mute again while recording and it does not effect the recording. It is a very big hassle during a recording project. ANY IDEAS WOULD BE AWESOME!!!!
Are you using ASIO (or asio4all), WDM/KS or MME32 on Sonar?
Not sure but have you checked how the "Record Without Monitoring" (or similiarly named ) option is set (Start menu, Run..., sndvol32 /r).
On Sonar you may need to enable Input ECHO ( [color="#339966"][)))]? button on track headers).

Creative Audigy 2 ZS Notebook install probl

Lets start off with the system owned:
Acer Aspire 9920G, Windows Vista Home Premium x86 32bit, Intel Core 2 Duo processor T7500 (2.2GHz/FSB: 800MHz/4MB L2 cache), 4GB DDR II RAM (2x 2GB), 2x 250GB (5400rpm S-ATA), NVIDIA GeForce 8600M-GT 280MB TC.
With a realtek onboard HD soundcard.
Now here's the problem:
I purchased the Creative Audigy 2 ZS Notebook last monday, went home and read the instructions.
I made sure to disable and uninstall the onboard card before hand and then pushed the card into the PCMCIA slot and press cancel on the automatic driver search vista gives me, afterwards starting the installation of the vista drivers that i downloaded seeing a small sticker on the box notified me that the installation cd would only work on XP.
Mind you, this is on a clean install, i reinstalled the whole system in the weekend and made a full backup that can be put back in less then 40 minutes in case something would go wrong.
Anyway, next thing i know after starting the install the system freezes entirely at the point where the installation says: "Updating windows drivers".
Hard reboot is the following action ofcourse, system freezes up and refuses to boot only giving me all the nifty blue lights and a black screen.
I pull out the zs notebook and reboot, works fine, however the second i push in the zs notebook the whole system freezes and i have to pull the plug yet again to force it to reboot.
Only action left is putting the backup back and everything works fine again and now i can actually push in the zs notebook card again without the system crashing.
I have tried multiple things after that reinstall so far with multiple results:
- Installing the drivers listed for vista in the drivers section: install freezes, have to reset by cutting the power, but i can reboot with the card still in the laptop, however its not installed at all nor are any programs installed.
- Installing with daniel's drivers: install freezes, cut power to reset and laptop refuses to boot with the zs notebook card in the slot and when in windows the card is pushed in the laptop freezes up yet again.
- Installing either of both drivers in safe mode results in a normal correct install: no freezing or crashing however the second i boot up in normal mode the laptop freezes before loading windows and the power has to be cut yet again.
So far every time this is fixed by using the recovery backup i made to have everything to normal again.
Probable cause that i was able to find:
If i install in safe mode the onboard sound card doesnt get loaded at all, then the installation of the zs notebook runs correctly.
However, in normal mode even if i disable and uninstall the drivers for the onboard card when the install runs it triesto install both the "Creative Audigy Audio Processor (WDM)" drivers for the audigy zs notebook, but it also tries to reinstall the realtek onboard, and i have no clue how to get rid of that since there is no option to disable the onboard soundcard through the bios at all.
Either way, the only time the laptop actually freezes is when the "Creative Audigy Audio Processor (WDM)" gets installed.
If that process doesnt manage to install itself the system doesnt crash, but doesnt see the ZS notebook card either.
Any ideas of random throughts that might help me solve this problem
Also, sorry for the long post, but i tried to make everything as complete and detailed as possible because i really want this fixed seeing i own both an older 5. creative sound set and a logitech z5500 with THX and would like to be able to run both on my laptop when i am at home.
Either way if i end up not being able to fix this i might end up swapping in the audigy 2 zs notebook for the x-fi xtreme audio notebook, problem there is though that it does not have THX and that i'll aslo have to seperatly buy the docking cable.
With regards,
Natharneal.

The color on the Onkyo Recei'ver end are Center - Green , Surround(rear) - Blue , Front - White
The color on the Creative Card end are Center- Orange , rear - Black , Front - Green
There is color difference between these two ends . Is it advisable to connect these two jacks ?
Please recommend the suitable cable type and name for this connection
Thanks

Hi
Colours may vary --> just connect by the instructions from both manuals.
There are good explanations for

- Connecting a multichannel home theater receiver
- cabletypes needed on connections
on User's Guide.
NOTE: This User's Guide can be found on your driver CD too.
Also, here is the Onkyo HT-S580 manual.

Can Garageband for iOS record 24bit? (24-bit)

Can garageband for iOS record 24bit? I see other competitors can so wondering if Garageband? Would be a shame
if it can't as of the whole scaling up opening sessions in Logic for further work..
Thanks!

I can't find a defitive support docuemnt from Apple, but as far as I can tell the camera kit can handle 44.1 or 48 kHz 16-bit audio. No evidence of 24-bit support in GB for iOS, either for import or export. Uncompressed audio input files are expected to be in 44.1kHz/16-bit.

Audigy 2 ZS Notebook or X-Fi Audio Extreme Notebo

Am looking at getting a sound card for the old laptop, and the 2 above have rather tickled my fancy:?http://uk.europe.creative.com/produc...8&product=6642[color="#800080">http://uk.europe.creative.com/produc...5&product=0769
?Have had a look but cant find much of a difference between the 2, can anyone point them out (if any) to me please? After buying the docking module cable which does not come with the X-Fi model, but does with the Audigy 2, the price of the X-Fi will rise to around ?75, ?25 short of the cost of the Audigy. So what else am i getting for the extra ?25?Cheers (would like to know asap as am trying to get this before the christmas post if thats possible!)?

I'll not go into tech details cause you just need to read the specs to see what each card can and can not do... What i will say is this, i have always had creative cards and with each upgrade have found the new card to be better in performance and sound quality. I have just gone from an Audigy 2 Platinum Pro ZS to a new X-Fi Elite Pro and the quality and performance is fantastic. I use this card in my studio for recording/producing music and for playing the latest PC games. Without question it is a far better card ...BUT ... the question you need to ask yourself is this... are these gains worth the additional cost to upgrade based upon what you intend to do with it. I paid ?75 for my Elite Pro ( a very good price i would say )because i use all of it's features**. If you are just going to use it's most basic features to play games and listen to music using a basic set of stereo speakers then what is the point spending money on a card that will never be fully used. If you want better performance and quality then X-fi is a great card but at a cost...
** X-ram is not related to how much on board ram you have in the way you think. X-ram is only of use if the application you are using has been written to use it. It's an extra " wow " feature that at this time only benefits a few games...but new titles should take advantage of this...
As a note... you will see on this forum that many users have various issues with their card ( crackle/pop ) is a common report. This was an issue i had many years ago with my early creative cards and was due to " Bus Hogging " A little tweak of the Bus Latency cured this. None of my Audigy cards ( of which i have had 3 ) or my new x-fi card have this or any other problem.
Bottom line .. For me the X-fi Elite Pro is perfect for what i want it to do and a much better all round card than the Audigy range...Message Edited by Pawpaw on -6-2006:58 AM
