Re: Sound Blaster Xtreme Audio missing Stereo MixK I think I'm having a similar problem with my Windows 7 Professional system.
I'm am getting sound out of my card.
When I right click on the "speaker" icon in the task bar I see the following list of 5 options
Volume Mixer
Playback Devices
Recording Devices
Sounds
Volume Control Options
However when I click on "playback devices", "Recording Devices" and "sounds" nothing comes up.
What I did do is completely uninstall all traces of any installed Creative software and in the device manager did an uninstall for the SB Xtreme Audio Card.
My recording device is the integrated microphone in the Logitech Quickcam/IM that I have installed. If I go to accessories and click on "sound recorder" it doesn't start up either.
The other issue that I see is that when I go into Control Panel and click on Sounds, nothing happens.
Something is definitely going on but I can't seem to track down the cause.

Help! Sound Blaster Audigy - bass and tre

Hello! I had a Sound Blaster Audigy. There are any problems in the control with the Creative Surround Mixer. It cannot to set the bass and treble. Why and what is problem with it's Thank you!?Problem with the Sound Blaster Audigy - bass and treblehttp://icq299885550.mysinamail.com/Photo/Creative.jpghttp://icq299885550.mysinamail.com/Photo/Creative2.jpg?Message Edited by mrchan2002 on -7-20062:27 AM

What's the model number of your soundcard? Certain series of Sound Blaster doesn't support adjusting bass and treble so you have to use the Graphic Equalizer software instead to adjust it.

Sound Blaster Audigy Drivers and Applications CD-Rom

Does anyone know where I can get or download?the "Sound Blaster Audigy" "Drivers and applications" CD-rom?
I have included a pic below:

jay23,
First extract the RAR file you downloaded using WinRar. During the extraction, WinRar will create an ISO file which is an image of the installation CD. If you don't want to burn that ISO file to a CD, then download and install MagicDisc from the link I gave above. MagicDisc lets you mount an ISO file as a virtual hard dri've. You should be able to install from that virtual CD just as if it were a real hard copy CD, but I've never tried that so can't say for certain.

Creative Sound Blaster Audigy LS and soundfo

Hi! i got an Audigy LS, is it possible to use soundfonts with Cubase For example?
i didn't notice any instrument lik synt A or B like Sbli've did.

Massimo

I'm not completely sure of the answer, but the Audigy LS specs have both wavetable synthesis and soundfont support listed. That indicates to me that it should be possible.

Sound Blaster Audigy software CD probl

For a few years now, I have been running the old Sound Blaster audigy card, and have never needed to upgrade as it's such a good card and it does everything it's required. The problem comes in the form of the original software CD distributed with the card. (I've already read the faq and have already found a solution) The software CD is very terrible, in the great many years I have had to reinstall my system for various reasons, the part where I install my audigy card software is by far the most tedious, and completely unpredictable.
When I say tedious, the installation takes forever, even if you set the most minimum of installation requirements. On top of that, if the program in itself loses focus, it halts the installation, so no playing Freecell in the background to pass the time. Otherwise, the installation generally halts at around the 97% mark and says "updating drivers..." I've left this one night and gone to bed and it's still been at 97% over 0 hours. This one really gets me, there's no error message. So the only way around this is to ctrl-alt-del, and uninstall, and then restart.
On the other hand, as I recently found out, installing of the playcenter that comes with the CD, often stalls the installation completely. During the install playcenter wants to know which media formats to assosiate. The problem is, it brings that screen up behind all the windows, and the only way you know it's done that is by clicking "show desktop". It's not possible to bring it to the foreground, so basically the installation has to be killed.
But then I get to the unpredictable part, half the time the installation isn't complete, and if you open up the surround mixer, most of the information is missing, no speaker settings or EAX.
So for a long time I looked for a remedy to this problem, often downloading the Webupdates didn't seem to always work, they too had their similar problems. And only now have I finally come up with the answer, the new OpenAL beta drivers. Completely different installation program, and works perfectly. To think an installation of the size of around 20mb has fixed such a long problem, thankyou Creative I can now chuck out this completely useless CD and replace it with the quick and very easy OpenAL beta. I thought it was supposed to be the beta products that were more buggy.
Anyone else noticed these style problems?

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.

Sound blaster audigy midi p

Hi karloch,
Pardon me for saying that I did not detect the noise you mentioned in your attached MP3 file. I can't be sure it's the noise or is it part of the music; especially towards the end of the playback. I'm using VLC player btw.
Perhaps, you may like to test it with another media player.

Sound blaster Audigy LS install probl

HI, I just bought a sound blaster Audigy LS, and after installing the card Windows finds the new hardware,but when I put in INSTALLATION CD I get "setup could not detect any sound blaster audio card on your system" I`ve disabled all onboard sound and old drivers,and tried ALL pci slots now as well. Im very sure the card is fitted correctly, the model no is: SB030. any advice would be very helpful. Thanks alot ` WILLEEEE `

All,
In order to give any helpful suggestions to these kinds of problems we will need a couple of extra bits of information:
) Steps already taken to resolve problem
2) System Specs including processor and chipset
3) Model Number of the sound card
4) Operating system and service pack
Willeeee provided most of this, however he has also done all of the steps I would suggest without knowing #2 and #4. In all of these cases it is worth trying to install the latest drivers from our website. I know that the original Audigy can be installed using only the drivers found on the webpage and I would suggest trying that first. Also make sure that you have tried different PCI slots in your system.

Sound Blaster Audigy Joystick/midi brac

I was wondering if anyone knows where someone can get the joystick/midi bracket for the Sound Blast Audigy cards (SB0090)? I am going to be upgrading some components (including mobo which I will then lose my joystick port) and I have a Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback joystick that works perfectly that I enjoy using when I play Battlefield 942 and some other games. Thanks?Steve

Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum BIG Proble

I have sound blaster audigy platinum and in few weeks I have got this strange problem that I?ve hadn't before. If I use old drivers for it, windows gives me blue screen with "bad pool caller" very often when I play or just listen music. With new drivers it gives me "driver irql not less or equal". At the same time in linux it works fine. In windows I've checked viruses etc. reinstalled windows many times, used memtest and so on. Finally 2 days ago I took my Sound blaster off my computer and ever since I haven't got any problems. So it obviously is the problem. But I just don't know what to do anymore to get it work? Now I use the sound card that comes integrated with my motherboard but it's not as good. Btw I don't use integrated sound card same time with sound blaster. Please Help!

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

- cabletypes needed on connections

Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS: Listen and play separate trac

Hi,
I recently purchased the Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS card for my laptop, however I was wondering if it is possible to play one track and listen to a separate track while the first is playing. The reason being i am using the laptop for mobile dj'ing, so really want to queue up the next track before playing it blindly. If someone could let me know if it's possible and if so how to do it, that'd be much appreciated. Thanks,?Jason

As you mentioned laptop, I assume you are speaking?of Audigy 2 Zs Video Edition (USB) or Notebook (PCMCIA)?None?of?Audigys?is?good for this type of use?but, you could try with some DJ software as like the Nati've Instruments Traktor in ASIO mode.- http://www.nati've-instruments.com/index.php?id=djline?(demo available)?jutapa

Okay, I did my best searching and I couldn't find anything that matched all your descriptors. I did do a search on both decoder numbers. SB0256 returned very little results, but with SB0466, I was able to find this ebay listing:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...6_fvi%3D&_rdc=
This card isn't a Champion like you suggested. And with my complete lack of knowledge, I don't know what I/O dri've bay means. But since it is PCI and the decoder matches the number you gave me, this card should be adequete, right?
Whether it works or not, my search indicated it might be very hard for me to find that card (or any PCI card for that matter). Everything I saw was out of stock. I know this is a forum for Creative, but are there any other manufacturers that will allow me to accomplish my goal, either with current cards, or discontinued cards? Thanks again
Oh, and I will vote on that thread. I probably won't wait for them to release the decoder since I need it now, but I still believe Creative should be giving the customer what they want

Sound Blaster Audigy and STAL

I've got the following problem. In game called "S. T.A.L.K.E.R" i can hear very lound sounds of shooting and very silence people conversations.
I've got "Sound Blaster Audigy" and Creative Speakers.

Hi,
There are several choices if it comes to Audigy (emu0kx) drivers;
First you can use the last official Creative Labs' driver for the Audigy series which you can download on the official driver download site here at Creative Labs' site, but you will loose a lot of apps/softwares, but it should work;
The second one would be the mentioned Daniel_K's driverpack 3.8 for the Audigy series which works pretty good, although I dislike the individual installers/uninstallers for each applications which makes uninstallation of the driver very annoying.
The third one would be the Project KX driver which is very light in size but very powerful, especially for recording and other music related purposes. There's a learning curve since it really looks different (interfaces for example), but once you have found out how the KX driver works you will be happy you own an genuine Audigy emu0kx soundcard.
