Hi erikrn,
I'm afraid the EVO ZxR is not designed for that purpose. However, you may explore software that controls from audio source and to achieve what you want.

  • Sound Blaster Evo ZxR SBX being weird

    Alright, so I got a Sound Blaster Evo ZxR recently, and I love it. My first copy from Amazon was defective, though (Bluetooth and TT buttons were broken) so I got another one. Anyway, I'm having a great time with it EXCEPT for the fact that whenever I get a Skype call, my SBX will instantly turn off and I will be unable to turn it back on (the light on the headset won't go on and audio quality will be horrible) and when I turn the headset on and off I can't get audio from anything except for the 7.1 test in the control panel. It's really annoying to have to restart my computer whenever I get a Skype call to get the high quality sound I paid for.

  • Sound Blaster EVO Control Pannel do not recognize EVO ZxR correctly

    Hi,
    I have a problem since some days and I don't understand why.
    Before I begin, yes I did uninstall and re-install drivers/control panel.
    So, normally the EVO Control panel would recognize my Headset EVO ZxR correctly and give me all the option linked to it, as Clear voice, SBX, if ANC is active of not, change the modes (game, music, film), etc...
    This per USB and not Bluetooth by the way.
    But I don't know why, since some days it will no more, and only give me few option in the control panel.
    What I have now is only this :
    (In this one I can't even test the sound if I select 7.1, but if tested from windows sound control pannel it works fine as 7.1)
    and as you can see, it is up-to-date :
    Not to mention that the Headset has the latest Firmware too.
    So Any advice to find again this :
    It was all working and at some point no more, and I don't know why.
    Again, re-installing did not help.
    It is perfectly working via Bluetooth on my phone though.
    OS : Windows 8.1 Pro.
    Any advice, idea would be much appreciated.
    Thank you.

    I can now confirm what the problem is. After reformatting my whole operating system I was indeed able to get the software to work properly again, however after a windows update the software will not work properly again. Confirmed same thing about the windows update on my other pc as well and the only way to get it to start working again to to do a system restore point before the last update.
    I am sorry but this is unexceptionable! So I have to stay on an old version of windows in order to use this product...

  • Sound Blaster EVO Zx - Not recharging

    When I bought my Sound Blaster Zx it starting to produce a loud whine in the audio while it was charging. Once charged the whine went away and I just made sure to keep it topped off.
    Well recently the whine has been constant ... when I checked the application it showed the battery completely dead and charging. I turned off the headset an allowed it to charge (blinking red LED as normal) for 10 hours. When I plugged it back in to the PC it showed completely dead still and it started whining again.
    I have only had this headset for a couple of months. I have made sure it is the latest firmware and application.

  • How to fix a conflict between PnP ISA and Sound Blaster?

    There is too much nonsense talked about HDMI cables. For a start they shouldn't be sold as 1.2/1.3/1.4 etc compatible, the HDMI standard expressly forbids this. There are standard (cat 1 - < 75 MHz) and high speed cables (cat 2 - < 340 MHz) and both will work with the Apple TV.
    Strictly speaking a cable should meet the HDMI standards before it can be sold and if it doesn't work you should ask for it to be replaced. Higher cost cables cost more because of quality, quality that is represented in quality control or tolerance, higher price cables will likely have a lower failure rate, but that doesn't mean cheap cables shouldn't work when you buy them.
    Uniformity in diameter and in length are paramount. If one component is 1/3200 th of a mm longer than another the signal will become out of sync, variations in diameter can cause the signal to bounce back along the cable.
    Personally, I'd never buy an expensive HDMI cable but I'd also avoid the ultra cheap ones, they should work out of the box, but throughout their life they will likely be pulled, bent, tripped over and run over with the vacuum cleaner, better cables are likely to have greater resistance to such treatment.

  • Sound Blaster Rage VoiceFX Test button not working

    I purchased my creative sound blaster Tactic3D Rage headphones today and so far I am really happy with them. The only thing that bugs me is that the test button for VoiceFX in the control panel doesn't seem to work. I press it and talk through the mic, but nothing happens. I know the VoiceFX works because I tested it out through Skype test call. Only the test button in the control panel doesn't seem to work

  • Sound Blaster ZxR - Whats going on, where is it?

    Hello everyone looking for some answers here.
    Wanting to know when the ZxR is going to be out in the UK. Everything I have seen has spoken about early December, this is now the last day of. So what's going on here? The release date has passed and I still cannot find anything explaining it from you guys? I have been waiting nearly a year to upgrade my faulty Sound Blaster X-Fi that has finally died after years of hardcore service and to be honest none of the recent creative cards have been worth swapping it for. Honestly if this card isnt out soon I'll just have to buy a Xonar or something I have always been a creative customer never bought anything other than your sound cards but this is just a joke now and is definitely going to lose your company customers.
    I would like some actual information on when it is coming out or if you don't know the proper reason why it isn't out. If its due to faults or issues your customers would want to know this, it would make them happier that you care about quality of use for example. Ignoring us just makes people get annoyed and turn away
    Look forward to a reply
    Greg M
    Glasgow, UK

    That's still the bare minimum of information, and still as vaige as it can be... Can't you guys do better than this? where the f... is the customer satisfaction? this is almost funny how bad this is :/
    I suppose I will wait 14 more days if I cant get it by the 18th I'll just go get a card from another company. It wont be what I want but atleast I CAN get one and the customer service will be a bit better Creative you need to pull yourselves together I am very disappointed with this company lately. Can't even get a good sound card from my favourite manufacturer. I will just have to keep listening to my Zen Vision:M YES I HAVE ONE OF THEM TOO!!!

  • Creative Sound Blaster ZxR Optical s/pDIF Surround Recording

    I just downloaded and installed Audacity for Windows version 2.x.x (the latest Audacity version).
    I'm recording my xbox 360 game play sound and possibly some OTA Antenna receiver Dolby 5.1 Surround through a Toslink optical cable input on the daughter card of the SB ZxR sound card.
    I'm using an Intel Core i7 2600 in an Asus p8p67 deluxe running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 using the Creative Labs Sound Blaster ZxR.
    It works fine for Xbox 360 dashboard System Settings, Console, Digital Audio, set to Stereo (2 channel sound), but does not when xb360 is set for Dolby Digital 5.1 output since the Audacity drop down list box for the recording device has only the options for Stereo or Mono--even when 5.1 Surround is being output by the xb360.
    When the incoming audio stream of 5.1 surround is recorded by audacity, the sampled sound is a huge amount of loud almost white noise of random digital static sound.
    What audio device capabilities enumeration is being used to determine if incoming AC3 multichannel digital optical signals are more than stereo since this stream could, in theory, change on the fly depending on the program material being sent by the source device?
    Is this the fault of the sound card driver from Creative Labs and is being reported improperly to MS Windows intermediate level device driver layers, that are in turn reported to audacity in its enumeration of the device's input stream contents?
    To see the physical appearance of the Creative Labs Sound Blaster ZxR DBpro daughter card with its gray output Toslink female socket and its black input Toslink socket, do a Google image search as follows:
    "sound blaster zxr" optical in dbpro "daughter card"
    http://goo.gl/ewO6ha
    Is there any way to circumvent this sad state of affairs as a temporary work around for this problem with an interim software source code revision?
    Could a software layer or function be added in audacity to parse the incoming data stream to determine the streams' characteristics (possibly on the fly -- in real time)?
    When in the Creative Labs SB ZxR software control for mixer, etc, I have the settings for the card sometimes set to "listen to this device" for the Optical Toslink input port, and the sound coming out of the Speaker Outputs does not get sent to the Optical Output Toslink port to go to my Dolby digital audio receiver--my default Windows sound device--so that I cannot hear any of the supposed input audio stream at all.
    Why is this effective pass through functionality not working?
    I have two or more Hauppauge ComputerWorks High Definition Video capture devices with Toslink optical inputs, and they work fine to capture higher level multichannel AC3 optical streams.
    What is wrong with the Creative Labs Soundblaster ZxR recording capability for such streams?
    Can the driver be updated to fix these problems?
    I have posted a few hours ago on the Audacity software's web forums to see if anyone there has any answers as to what can be done and what is happening and what is at fault in this process...
    http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewto...p?f=46&t=84846

    I noticed the following when I more closely examined the SB ZxR Mixer settings...
    The Toslink / optical s/pDIF input levels, even when an AC3 surround 5.1 channel stream is being input displays level control sliders for only Left and Right channels, when there should be 6 channels.
    Creative Labs Dolby is improperly being handled within both their driver and application software for the sound card, or the card itself is designed NOT to handle properly multichannel AC3 in a dynamic fashion as provided by the source optical device.
    Why?

  • Sound Blaster ZXR Creative Audio Control panel

    Hi. I bought a soundblaster ZXR. I uninstalled the driver for the old sound blaster X-Fi card, then shut off my computer and installed the ZXR card (which fits into a different slot than the X-Fi did), then restarted the computer and installed the software for the ZXR.
    My situation is as follows: when I click on the Creative Audio Control panel, I get a message saying "The audio device supported by this application is not detected". I looked thru the internet and the general advice seems to be that the software for the older X-Fi card is not easily removed, and to remove it, I should uninstall the ZXR software, remove the ZXR card, re-install the old X-Fi card, then use some rather advanced techniques to make sure all of the software for the X-Fi card is uninstalled, then turn off the computer and take out the X-Fi card, then install the ZXR card, and re-install the software for the ZXR card. With some reluctance, I was about to do that, but then I noticed a folder called Sound Blaster Z Series was installed, so I opened it and clicked on Sound Blaster Z Series Control Panel, and a program opened up which allows me to make some changes to my sound set up.
    My question is - When I click on the Creative Audio Control panel, am I supposed to get a message saying "The audio device supported by this application is not detected", because the Sound Blaster Z Series Control Panel is taking it's place? ...or does that error message tell me that there's something that I should address to avoid any future problems. I want to learn how to work with various sound programs, like sound forge, cakewalk, acid pro, kontakt, etc. and I want to start with a proper setup to help me avoid any unneeded frustrations. I have a fairly new computer with an ASUS P8H77 motherboard. Under Device Manager - Sound, Video and game controllers, I have the following entries:
    High Definition Audio Device
    Sound Blaster Audio Controller
    Sound Blaster ZxR
    Sound Blaster ZxR DBpro
    I right clicked the High Definition Audio Device, then disabled it, but that didn't help so I enabled it again.
    Thanks.

    The Creative Audio Control Panel is a single entry leftover from your old X-FI. Uninstall just that. Then you can make a shortcut to the other you were speaking off and put that shortcut wherever you wish. I uninstalled an X-FI before and I had that control panel left over even after uninstalling what I thought was everything.

  • How to install the olds special effects of voices EAX in the Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatal1ty Platin

    Dear forum Members:?
    Today I acquired the new Sound Blaster X-Fi Fataty Champion Series Platinum, but I have taken myself the surprise that the sound effects EAX - that in?the old card included voice effects like? ZEUS, Man -> Woman, Woman -> Man, Squirrel, etc., - they are no longer in the options of?EAX, and the sound environments only come.
    For my it is very important that EAX has those?special sound effects that he had the old one?version of Audigy, since with them we took place?voices distorted in a radial program that?we transmit every Friday for Internet, since 6 years old.
    Without those effects, a complete block of the program - the humor block-, it won't be been able to make,?and this will be a great loss for our?transmission and our auditors.
    For it, I request them earnestly that me?indicate how to be able to install the old effects?special of EAX, particularly the Voices?
    distorted, since it is fundamental for?our work, and without them the purchase of this?new card will provoke us a bigger problem in?time of solving it.
    I request everyone them to assist?this request?to the brevity?possible, since really we need the effects?special EAX to work in our radio.

    Bredbandsbandit,
    The headsets for it will need to use /8'' minijack connecters (or up to /4'' if you get the Platinum/Fatalty/Elite Pro versions). USB headsets use their own software codec, basically making them software based sound devices which would bypass all of the advantages of the X-Fi.
    A really great headset choice for this would be the Creative ProGamer Headset NC22 however if you are looking for headphones I have used the Creative HN-505 Noise Cancelling Headphones with the X-Fi (I hope to have some impressions up in a few days) and they work absolutely amazingly. Basically you would do best with closed ear headphones with a good quality microphone.

  • Sound Blaster ZxR latency problems

    I bought SB ZxR last week and I'm using it for gaming, recording and just rehearsing guitar playing (my preamp is connected to sound card AUX in). I'm having trouble getting the sound in sync with my playing. In fact it's pretty much impossible to play properly, because the sound is always some 20-30ms late. I understand that when I output to optical output, then there might be some delay, but the delay is there also when outputting to analog outputs (though not so bad, but makes playing impossible still). I've tried all the settings in ZxR control panel and I haven't found working combination. Seems like the card is doing some processing to incoming signal in all occasions. I'm really disappointed, since the sound quality is otherwise excellent. I haven't had this kind of problems with my previous sound cards (Terratec 6fire, X-fi Elite pro, Auzentech Prelude). Prelude created latency when enabling DD live or DTS encoding, but disabling those made latency almost zero.
    Has anyone tried playing any instrument live with this card and maybe found a solution for these latency problems?

    Incorrect in my experience.
    I've just installed a Sound Blaster Zx - purchased because it is supposed to have near zip latency.
    and it was so - with 92000 sample rate and 192 samples! Latency was near zero.
    Before it was near 10-20 milliseconds with my old SB Fx 1270 THX
    My keyboard is so fast it's weird getting used to it.
    Notes:
    1. select the Sound Blaster SBZ series ASIO, NOT the "Creative ASIO".
    2. Be sure to remove all old Creative software before installing. I tried it without doing this cleaning, and got odd silences in my browsers at random-seeming times. It seems to work better now.
    3. Measuring tool: DPC latency checker V 1.2.0
    (CEntrance latency test did not work)
    Results: Average latency 26 microseconds,
    peak latency 1120 microseconds when starting up Kontackt 5 (note: Micro, not Milli-seconds)
    I'll let you know here if I have problems -

  • How do I monitor my 'line-in' recording with my Sound Blaster USB Mp3

    I'm recording tracts of my band from a MD via line in. How do I monitor what's being recorded (in real time)?
    Sound Blaster USB Mp3+
    Thanks,
    Mike

    my problem seems similar to prior post.
    I have attached Creative USB Sound Blaser MP3+ a.k.a. SB0270 to a Compaq Presario 700 lap top computer via its USB .0 port. I'm running WinXP Home with SR-2 update.
    I have found that I CAN record audio using Creative's Wave Studio by first selecting "Line-In" in Microsoft's "Volume Control" software Options/Properties/Recording. "Line-In" then appears as the label on the record level control in Creative's Wave Studio. This was not the intuiti've choice as music fed in through a USB port supposedly uses the SPDIF (Sony Phillips Digital Interface Format). Selecting the SPDIF in Microsoft's "volume control" doesn't work.
    However, although I can record the audio, I can not find any way to monitor the level of the audio while recording. When recording using Creative's Wave Studio, an indicator (lower left of screen) shows it is in the recording mode, but the level indicator is a straight line at zero / baseline. Furthermore, the input signal can not of been too small to be seen, because the graph shows nearly full modulation on playback.
    How does one monitor the recording level while recording?

  • How does one enable Stereo Mix on the Sound Blaster Arena Surround USB Gaming Headset

    I'm usually streaming games and I picked up this headset to replace my old gear.
    I've noticed in 32-bit XP Pro I do not have the option to enable stereo mix which was how i was able to stream game audio and commentary on.
    Does a work around exist to enable stereo mix or to otherwise transmit audio from both the input and playback sources?
    BTW I've also posted this on the Livestream forums to see if I can get a bite.
