Sound blaster audigy platinum ex constant static sound, PLEASE HE

hey, i just got my sound blaster audigy platinum ex sound card today and the second i installed it and plugged in my speakers i got this static noise that would come out at all times, when i would play music you could hear the music softly, but still the static dominates. I disables my onboard sound and tried reinstalling in a different pci slot but still same problem. This is my first time buying a creative card and it has not been a pleasant experience so far. Can anyone please help me?
My pc is
windows XP pro
amd 3000+ 64
Asus K8V SE deluxe socket 754 via k8t00 ATXASUS

siruis,
go to the mixer settings and one of the sliders. the one
beside the wave slider to the right and slide it down to about 40% and try it, while playing if static still present
slide it down more while the track is playing, i had the same prob wwith li've 24bit 7. and this cured it for me.
hope this helps you.

Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Problem: Static no

For some reason since I've switched from my Sound Blaster Audigy card to my new Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS card, I've been getting a 'static' noise in the background of my speakers. I'm not sure why it would be causing this, and I've already updated my drivers off the creative website, so I'm not sure what my next step will have to be, so I decided to post here and see if anyone knew maybe?

I'm having a similar problem as well i've had my card for a year now and its just this high pitched sound. it doesn't happen right away but it happens after a period of time of using sound of any type music, games....it getting iritating and gives me a headache i think we have a simlar problem i've looked into the drivers and i'm not all to sure what i need none seem to mach my needs? does anyone have any idea's please help!

Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum EX

Hello, I have a Sound Blaster audigy platinum EX-, me and bought a new PC and have put my targeta SB, but in the installation as soon as this one quite made, when I want to calibrate my 5. puncturing in Mediasource's icon there goes out a mistake that he says: his targeta is not compatible with this controller. I have put him Win XP with SPack 3, as I have seen it is not drivers for this targeta with SPack 3, only it is with SPack 2, which I must do , do I put a SPack 2 Or is it drivers for SPack 3
I m Spanish, a pardon for my English

Hi Specter,
Don't worry, it's better to ask questions and get the answers you need, than to be confused or unsure
The first question is a bit subjecti've, some people may notice the difference, but the quality/SNR on those cards is very high so it shouldn't make much of a difference really. It will sound better aswell as you'll be hearing the full effects, in the proper speakers, instead of just stereo.
As far as the second query goes, I can't really recommend any particular application to you personally, but others can add their input there. The full versions of the various applications should all pretty much have the same options, at least the ones I've tested generally allow you to change the audio option which is what you'll need if you want to connect digitally (most DVD applications now have a built-in decoder, but if you want the audio to be sent over the digital connection you need to turn off the decoding option, so it outputs the signal untouched, to your receiver). Trial versions don't have as many options though, so on some you might not be able to adjust the option you need, but that shouldn't be a problem on full versions.
Hope that helps,
Cat

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!

Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum creating hard re

Greetings. Looking for insight on what I might do to alleviate a problem I am having with a Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum sound card and dri've.
This is the original Audigy Platinum. I am running windows XP pro with all sevice packs installed.
Installation of this new unit went well. No hardware or software conflicts and the card and audio "dri've" worked on the first attempt. All software also installed properly.
Unfortunately, when playing any audio through the system continuously for over a minute or so, the system begins to have trouble. This trouble is exerienced independent of what software or media type is playing the audio.
First, the sytem will have momentary "hangs" where the audio will be interrupted by a monotone electronic beep lasting from a fraction of a second to a couple of seconds long. The audio will then resume from the point it had left off when the tone began. If I continue to play audio after these tones begin, the system will shortly thereafter go through a hard reset. (By hard reset I mean an immediate return to memory count, bios screen and then startup as if I had pressed the reset button or the power had been interrupted)
The ONLY time this takes place is when I have been playing some sort of continuous audio.
As I said, if anyone has experienced this and has any insight as to the cause or more importantly the remedy to to the problem, I would appreciate the input.
Thanks.
JP

No comments on this?
Just hoping someone will be able to help me so I can use my audio files once again.

Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum

Hi there I just had a quick simple question. I am interested in buy one of the Sound Blast Audigy Platinum eX sound cards with the external portion as well. I am wondering if the external can double as a receiver so I can just hook up a set of speakers to the PCI card for my TV and my Personal Computer. Is this possible, even if I do need to purchase extra adapters? I have an RCA cable I can run from the L/R of my TV to the External Card, but can the External card provide an output to the speakers? Basically all I am asking is if the TV sound can go out of the PC speakers...lol Sorry if I made it sound more complicated than it really is.
Sincerely,
Matt

Creative Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum

Im having issues with this card when I bought it it was great but now after reformats and installing from the software disc I frist recieve an error saying it cant find the remote reciever then I recieve an exclamation mark next to the audio media controller in system device manager although my sound still works on desktop (but not using computer based programs like cubase sx 3)....thinking it was may be needing an update I came to the website and it told me to update to all latest driver and patches to which I did..rebooted and still same problem this time added problem being I have no sound at all. So why? has this all of a sudden happend... I am coumputer literate enought to uninstall all older software before installing new software from this website but all to no avail...why is there no audio media controller in all the software thats available to download from here... Ive also tried having the realtek audio 97AC driver installed before installing all creative software and also installing it after installing all media from creative but either way it tells you to?uninstall this driver as it can cause conflicts to which I do and its still no sound ?..it resolves the issue of the exclamation mark next to audio media controller in device manager but theres still no sound...So why dont I get any errors when installing the software from the disc it all goes smooth then gives me the no remote reciever detected (tried new batteries in it)....then again same problem with audio media controller...please help me as this card at the time of buying cost me nearly ?200....

It sounds like the card isn't installing correctly, when it is installed it should be listed in the Device Manager with the correct name (so not a generic audio device or unknown device). It would be best to disable your onboard audio to make sure that won't conflict.
What happens when you run the installation CD? Does it seem to install the driver? It may help to uninstall the card, and move it to another slot if it isn't getting picked up correctly. It'll force it onto other resources, reinstall the CD then.
When the card is installed, check in Control Panel -> Sounds and Audio Devices. The card should be listed there so you can select it as the preferred device (for playback and recording).

Can breakaway box from Audigy Platinum eX connect to Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium HD?

I have been happily using the Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum eX for a decade or so but it is now time to build a new box. The Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium HD seems to be the card for me and it does have a multi-pin connection that seems to match the one on the legacy card. The legacy card has the best external box I have yet seen, the perfect combination of inputs, outputs, and controls and I would dearly love to keep using it. Does anyone know if the two items are compatible?

Thanks, I was afraid that might be the case. Would the legacy card work with Windows 7 perhaps or has the audio stack changed too drastically from Windows XP to Windows 7? I am loathe to give up this breakaway box, I have never seen another with this many i/o ports and features.

Pin Specifications for Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SB1394

;Pin Specifications for Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SB394 I have a Sound Blaster Audigy SB934 CA000-IAF Creative Tech '0 AA299J basically a Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum (wiouth the front bay for conectivity.)? And since I dont' have the front bay for heaphone and mic conectivity I was wondering if there is a spec sheet for the 40-Pin conectivity that is used for the front bay. I was wondering if anyone could provide me with such spec sheet so that I can try to conect my frontal Intel board plugs for headphone and microphone (would like to use my headset.)
There are a lot of pins on the card and well only about 8 in the conector for the front plugs. So if any dev from the forum is reading this I would greatly apreciate it if I could use my front Intel sound plugs on this old model card.
Thank you for all your help.

That will help you with the pin assignments.......
And you can also try one of these to connect a lot more easily to your front panel audio jacks.......
