Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Internal Drive (Upgrade Opti

I own a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS, and in the instruction manual and on your website you mention a Internal Dri've Upgrade Option like the one that comes with the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum. My question is i have found similar products available for the Sound Blaster Li've series, but i have not found that product available as an upgrade for the audigy 2 zs. Could you tell me if it is not in production or if the li've di've IR is compatible with the audigy 2 zs. Also the manual noted a adapter needed for the spdif out, were is that available?

Anoddin,
The Audigy 2 ZS dri've is here:

    Yes it is called trying to install the wrong driver for your card. Will work much better if you try installing the correct one,
    SBAX_PCDRV_LB_2_8_000.exe
    Also helps if you click on the "Show Details" link on the download page, then you would see that the one you tried to install doesn't support your card,
    Requirements:
    Microsoft Windows Vista 64-bit, Windows Vista 32-bit, Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, Windows XP Service Pack 2, Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 or Windows XP Media Center Edition 2004
    Sound Blaster Audigy Value/SE/LS, or Sound Blaster Li've! 24-bit audio devices
    whereas the correct driver shows the following,
    This download supports the following audio devices only:
    Creative Sound Blaster Audigy including Platinum and Platinum eX series
    Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 including Platinum, Platinum eX, and Value series
    Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS including Platinum and Platinum Pro series
    Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 4 Pro and Sound Blaster Audigy 4

  • Creative Sound Blaster Audigy Value/SE/LS Driver 01.04.0

    Creative Sound Blaster Audigy Value/SE/LS and Sound Blaster Li've! 24-bit Vista Beta Driver 0.04.0055
    Yeah, 32-bit, wooo.
    When will a 64-bit version be available?

    Has anyone tried the "AMD64" Driver for the Audigy Value (I assume this is the SE?) that is on the bundled CD?
    I tried different driversets from the download/support site to no avail.
    I didn't think about the CD driver until I got to work this morning.
    Really wishing I picked up the Li've! (yesterday) instead of the Audigy Value now
    ...expected this card to have a better chance, especially with "x64 drivers" on the box.
    Oh well, I'll give it one more shot tonight with those CD drivers... hopefully something will work.Message Edited by abz on 2-07-200604:08 PM

  • Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi I/O Drive Upgrade Kit ( 30SB02510000

    When you see prices marked on items in the states then that is without any tax.Depending on where you are in the states the tax you pay can be different.State, county and whatever other tax is payable. Also you have NO way of getting a replacement if something goes wrong with it. Good that you buy/import/get shipped to the UK from the states cannot be replaced outside of the states.

  • Sound Blaster X-Fi I/O Drive upgrade

    Hi
    http://us.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=3&subcategory=55&product=4659
    Will this work with my X-Fi XtremeGamer (NOT Fatality version)? It says it only works with XtremeMusic and the XtremeGamer fatality, but there's almost no difference to the fatality, so will it work with the XtremeGamer non fatality card, or not?
    thanks

    I am getting the exact same problem. Just downloaded the "Creative Sound Blaster Audigy unified series Beta driver with OpenAL support 2.08.0002" for my soundcard which is an Audigy 2 OEM (Model No. SB0240).
    I am using WIndows Media Center Edition 2005, but when I try to install the beta drivers, I get the following error message:
    "Setup is unable to detect a supported product on your system. Please ensure that your product is properly installed before running this setup program
    Setup will exit."
    My Device Manager shows Creative SB Audigy 2 (WDM) with driver version as follows:
    Driver Provider: Creative
    Driver Date: 23/06/2004
    Driver Version: 5.2..444
    I am currently hearing sound fine (so the soundcard is installed correctly), but the sound keeps cutting out from games that use OpenAL.
    Anyone else getting this problem? How did you fix it's

  • Error with Sound Blaster Audigy 2 installation...driv

    Hi
    I am really stuck with this issue and was wondering if someone out there could help. I have an Audigy 2, and have had it working for a long period of time. I had to re install Windows not so long ago and since then I have found a number of errors with my sound.
    Firstly there are a lot of pops and clicks when either gaming or playing audio files. Admittedly the pops and clicks happen a lot more when gaming (multiple sounds playing at once ?).
    Therefore I decided to come onto creatives site and download the new drivers for my sound card. I was still running the original drivers from the CD supplied, so felt it was about time.
    I downloaded the file SBA2_PCWDRV_LB__84_55-R, which is the correct update for my card and tried to install it.
    It comes up with a message:
    Setup could not detect and Sound Blaster Audigy 2 on you system.
    Please ensure that your sound blaster hardware is properly installed before running this setup program.
    setup will not exit
    After that message i was a little confused, because as far as I was concerned everything was working ok, sound was coming out and was coming out correctly from my 5. surround system.
    So i double clicked on the Creative Volume Control to check everything was on.
    I'm not sure if this is an error but a long the top where you select the output device mine says:
    SB Audigy [A000]
    I'm not 00% sure but I don't think it said that before, I think it said something else, but I could be wrong.
    I decided to uninstall my sound card and re-install. Everything installed absolutely fine from the CD, recognised the card and no complaints.
    So I tried to re-install the driver update, and same message. (And the output device is still SB Audigy [A000].
    Again I uninstalled and tried the Beta patch on the off chance that that would work, still nothing, it does not recognise the card in my computer.
    I definately have an Audigy 2 and it has worked properly allowing me to update it before.
    Sorry to have such a long message, but I am really confused about all of this and would really like to get everything working properly.
    Any advice and help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    fedepolito,
    I assume that you are running WinXP with Service Pack 3. Did you do a clean sweep of all the Creative Software and reinstall from the A2ZS CD? Do you get sound then?
    Me disculpo que no entend?a que todo que usted dijo en su poste. Asumo que usted est? funcionando Windows XP con el Service Pack 3. ?Usted hizo un retiro del barrido limpio de todo el Creative software? (Busque los foros para el "clean sweep." ) ?Despu?s de eso, cuando usted reinstala del CD de Audigy 2 ZS, usted consigue el sonido?

  • Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS - Driver is

    Hello,
    Recently my creative speaker settings and all my THX controls stopped working. I removed all my drivers, then reinstalled the following from the creative website.
    . Creative Sound Blaster Audigy, Audigy 2 series and Audigy 4 series Driver 02.08.0004
    This reinstalled the creative media center as well as the creative audio console, but it did not install the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS folder or application etc, which is what has all the Creative Speaker Settings and THX control and all the other creative options. I tried using the driver installation disc which came with the soundcard, but although it shows the creative settings/ THX control installed, whenever i try to open those applications, I get an error message saying that it cannot open that audio device, install audio drivers. I searched for the right drivers and even did the automatic updater, yet it did not work.
    So basically could anyone help me find the right driver to download so my creative speaker settings, THX console and all those other apllications will work?
    Thanks for your time.

    Even using just the CD drivers, shouldn't the applications still work?
    right now when I try to open creative speaker settings I get the error:
    The Audio device selected by this application is not detected. The application will exit.
    Does that mean anything?

  • Sound Blaster Audigy SE Driver Prob

    I have a problem with Sound Blaster Audigy SE,
    Im using newest from creative download site SBA_PCDRV_LB__04_006.exe drivers.
    After I turn on a game like ut2004, fear combat, even dxdiag (sound test) or pause sound in music/movie player system stops reacting or process "System" uses 95-00% of my CPU.
    After few tests I discovered with help of KrView (kernel view soft) that p7filt.sys uses such big ammount of cpu If in Speaker Settings, Bass Redirection and Subwoofer Gain (+5) is turned on. (5. speakers)
    I installed a bit diffrent version of drivers (from cd and even later I tested SBSE7_XP_Jul2005 additional driver). But then Subwoofer Gain option isnt working at all
    its written Subwoofer Gain (+0) and with sub gain +0 sound quality very poor like in AC97 audio.
    Ive also checked friends sound card on my pc and also i've tested exactly same thing on other computer.
    I have xp sp2 with updates, newest bios, directX, etc etc...

    OK..first of all the Audigy SE lacks any form of hardware acceleration, so turning on features like bass boosting/sound post-processing etc. will take away a lot of CPU time. The file you mentioned just acts as a software real-time filter, although it should not go up to the point of bringing a 2.4 Ghz Pentium 4 to its knees.
    The sound quality will be altered even with every "DSP" effect (quoted because there's no actual hardware DSP, it's just emulated in software) set to 0, as long as the "DSP is considered acti've.
    That's because the sound output is first converted from the time domain to the frequency domain (in poor words, the continuous sound wave you hear is broken down in many different frequencies like in those 80s ghettoblasters spectrum analyzers) because it's easier to amplify bass/treble that way, and then converted back to time domain (in even poorer words, a continuous sound wave you can hear/record/playback).
    It's obvious that doing that thing in real time has a CPU cost, and even more obvious that the procedure is lossy and the input will not be the same as the output even with no effect applied, as long as the this double conversion takes place.
    If you really need bass boost, turn any sound processing on the card OFF, and use speakers which have it. Also, if the CPU usage is abnormally high, try updated or a specific older version of the drivers that has more reasonable CPU usage/doesn't have that bug.

  • Sound Blaster Audigy 2: Can't install updated drive

    Creative Media source was getting a error and disallowed me to access the EAX console.
    So i did a clean sweep and uninstalled Audigy 2 and its components (Media Source etc).
    With that i lost my updated drivers. I resently downloaded a updated driver from this site
    Audigy2/2 zs Web update WDM. But... when i try to run the setup for the update i get this errror:
    Setup did not detect a driver version supported by this web update: The installation will now close.
    also another file from a different source:
    Setup could not find any previous version of Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Web Update WDM Drivers
    Installed.
    My sound card is obiviously a Audigy 2. It displays this information:
    Creative Audigy Audio Processor WDM (CF00)
    Driver Version 5.2..328 (Version from the Installion CD)
    Please help me get new Drivers!!!

    You can't install this if you have not install the EAX4 driver first. Read the detail information in those download page first.

  • Help with an Older Sound Blaster Audigy Card! Computer freezing on driver upda

    Hey everyone,
    I'm new to these forums and dont know if anyone still has experience with the older cards.
    I've had a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum for about 6 years now and noticed some popping and sometimes the card began to emit a high pitched whining sound. Thus I decided to install the newest drivers (can't hurt can it's)
    However, when I finished installing the drivers, my system refuses to start. Sometimes it's at the Windows login screen, sometimes right after.
    I finally got something that may be the reason why my system is hanging. I have a message that pops up that says:
    Box Name: ReadReg Application :Version 6.0..36
    Message: Completing installation of your audio card
    ??? Please wait.
    My computer is now frozen.
    Here are my system specs if it helps
    P4 2.66Ghz
    ASUS P4S800D-X
    PNY 6800GT
    SB Audigy 2 Platinum
    GB Corsair XMS3200C2PT (2x52MB)
    Windows XP Pro
    DVD+/-RW DL
    DVD ROM
    After I did a system restore, the sound driver was missing. Said Creative Audigy in the driver section with the yellow exclamation mark. I installed the new drivers again with the same problem.
    Any help is welcome!? Thank you for your time and consideration.

    I would:
    Pull the sound card.
    Start up.Enter the BIOS setup utility to make sure your MB recognizes the change.
    Save the BIOS
    Start again.
    If Windows works.
    Run a thorough virus scan (I hope you're running some reputable anti-virus software!!!)
    Install Service Pack 3.
    Re-install the sound card..
    I'll bet Windows finds a driver for it that works. If not, run Windows update manual and see if there's a driver update for the card.
    If none of the above helps, well... I confess, I reinstall Windows at the drop of a hat and that usually solves all problems. Do it on a Sunday so you can watch football while Windows churns.
    Power Quest Dri've image has saved me from the Windows install horror on many occasions. I think Symantec has pulled the program but there must be something similar out there. Buy it. And in the future, remember, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!
    Good luck.

  • Sound Blaster Audigy ADVANCED HD Audio??

    I had this for my Dell XPS M70 on Vista but now that i've upgraded to windows 7 i can't find anything on this.
    I tried to download the windows 7 driver("SB24_PCDRV_LB__04_0090") from creative's website but it says it does not detect any supported device on my computer.
    Am I missing something else here?

    I am unsure which driver to download for this sound card. Would it be simply the "Audigy Series" driver? This particular name is not mentioned in the supported cards.
    The Audigy Advanced MB isn't a device, it is an application that makes your onboard sound sound better. Therefore, it doesn't have a "driver", the only drivers involved would be the driver for your onboard sound, which you need to get from Dell.
    As for the application itself, it is my understanding that it's not ready for Vista yet, and I am currently trying to get an update on that situation.

  • Choppy sound in Windows 7 on Sound Blaster Audigy SE

    Hey all,
    I recently upgraded to Windows 7 and I love it with the exception of my sound card. Ever since I upgraded, all my sounds are super choppy (like every 5 seconds it chops). Of course I installed the new creative windows 7 drivers but it didn't fix the problem. Anyone have any ideas as to what could be causing this or other possible solutions to try?
    Thanks,
    Jason

    Re: Choppy sound in Windows 7 on Sound Blaster Audigy SEk What I meant was when you uninstall your graphics driver and use standart VGA drivers then the sound turns to normal without any crackling/popping. But of course you wouldnt want to do that or else you wouldnt have graphics accerelation. (You can't play video games and even watch any kind of video)
    For instance you freshly setup windows, dont install any nvidia/ati drivers, just with the big screen, install the creative drivers u wont have any problem with your sound.
    That's why I said that there's a kind of confliction between graphics interface and creative drivers. Because when u install any kind of display driver, crackling sound starts again.
    There's no solution for this except updated SB drivers. And that's why people get mad to creative on this forum. (Not only on this forum of course, it's a worldwide madness)

  • Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Probl

    Alright, so here's the scoop on my problem. I have a pre-built computer, an e-machines T4892 that I have been upgrading on my own. I added a Radeon 9800 PRO graphics card and that works just fine. Today for a late birthday present I got the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Sound Card I asked for. Before installing it I had the integrated audio of Realtek AC'97 Audio. I believe I removed those drivers but I'm not quite certain, I want to Add/Remove Programs and removed Realtek AC'97 Audio and it's now gone. Yet when I go into C:\Drivers\Audio the Realtek Icons are still there plus the Installation icon. So when I started up my computer after I put the card in, I bought this card from www.newegg.com by the way, the things in the bottom right hand corner that tell you you have new hardware popped up and all of that, it asked me to install from a specific location such as the installation cd or an advanced location, I clicked specific location because I put in the CD. It said it could not find it. So I just shrugged and went double clicked on the icon for the D: dri've and the autorun started. I installed the drivers and the Music player I forget the name. Everything was good, so I restarted my computer. When I log into my account (this is a shared computer) everything starts up fine except about 5 seconds later I look at my taskbar and Audigy.exe pops up and all of a sudden my computer restarts. I continued to log into my account and this kept on happening. So when I logged in for the last time I quickly did CTRL+ALT+DEL and went to processes, endeded audigy.exe and I was able to keep my computer on, this is currently how I am running. So I decided the audio driver was probably out of date so I went and downloaded the new drivers and restarted my computer. When I logged into my account, there's usually a windows sound that plays, that did not play, and 5 seconds later the computer restarted again. Plus when it restarted in the bottom right hand corner a little box would come up saying a Multimedia Audio Controller has been detected and it would come up and say Install the Software automatically (Recommended) and Install from a list or specific location (Advanced), before it would restart. So now I'm stuck with the problem of my computer restarting if I don't quickly end audigy.exe and I have no sound. If you could help me that would be great.

    I've been fiddling around in the Device Manager and it has Other Devices and under it is Multimedia Audio Controller, I can choose to either reinstall the driver udate the driver, disable it, or uninstall it. Here's what comes up on properties
    This device is not configured correctly. (Code )
    To reinstall the drivers for this device, click Reinstall Driver.
    Help would be appreciated here. I'm a big gamer and would like to have this up and running before our first CAL Match.
