Sound Blaster Live External 24bit vs. Compaq 6735b

Hello guys,
I recently bought a new laptot Compaq 6735b with Vista installed on it. I dont like Vista so I installed my original XP home OS. When I connect my usb SB Li've external to it,? the sound crackles. I already tried updating all the drivers, but nothing heplped.
Do you have any idea that could help. I would be very grateful because I am going to DJ on my niece wedding and it has to be solved... Thank you in advance

?Hi Pudi,
MS USB audio class driver is the driver that gets loaded for any USB audio device by default if you did not install any drivers that is provided by the vendor (in this case, Creative). To try this, you can do a full uninstallation of creative software for the Sound Blaster Li've External 24bit, then connect the hardware to your laptop again after that. The driver that will be loaded at this time would be the MS USB audio class driver. If you know how to look at driver publisher in device manager for the Sound Blaster Li've External 24bit, then you can also check that the publisher of the driver is Microsoft and not Creative if everything goes well.
Once you managed to do this, if you still have the same problem, then I would think that it is a compatibility problem with your laptop. For such cases, you can try to use a self-power USB hub in between the sound card and your laptop. This might help.

  • Sound Blaster Live 24bit External (5.1) Mic-In / Line-In prob

    Hey, here's my setup:
    Virtual DJ Console Edition (3.4. updated)
    Hercules MP3 Console
    Creative Sound Blaster Li've 24bit external (5. card, using it as a 4. to get FRONT out to speakers and REAR as headphone queue)
    I need to broadcast using Shoutcast (the VirtualDJ internal broadcasting plugin wont allow to set up full details that SHOUTcast plugin for Winamp allows you to fill in.... i.e. Yellow pages etc etc)
    The problem is basically that when I'm using SHOUTcast for Winamp, it streams both my FRONT and REAR outputs, can't seem to choose for it to stream only FRONT...
    Now, I know I can send the FRONT to Line-in (and use a stereo Y splitter to get the sound also to my speakers), but then it seems my Sound Blaster li've disables my Mic-In... seems that it has shared Line-In and Mic-In even though they are separate holes in the box....
    so basically wondering if anyones got any suggestions as to how to be able to Broadcast only the FRONT output and use the Microphone... now it seems its either I can't use the Microphone when doing a radio show... or alternati'vely I can't use my headphone queue...
    I don't understand why would the card have a separate Line-In and Mic-In, but you can't use the Mic-In if you have something hooked in the Line-In? Could there be some software or driver update I could get to be able to do this? Or am I just having forced to buy something like an M-Audio card thats exactly the same, but doesnt share the Mic and Line-ins but lets you use both at the same time?
    Thanks for any suggestions! They are most welcome!

    at drivers?
    IF you mean those third part yASIO drivers they limit to 6 bit recording whic hisn't an issue wuth Acid pro, it's the bandwith and asio offset. DO you ahve a link?

  • Sound Blaster Live 24bit External

    Would a Sound Blaster Li've 24bit External work as a soundcard for my Logitech X-530 5. system? I'm looking for something to upgrade my crappy intergrated soundcard.

    Yes, it will work. It'll wind up setting your USB ports to 6 bit by default, because it's going to be taking alot out of them, but it'll give you some beefy surround sound none the less. On the down side of this external card though, it's giving me a ton of **bleep** about ventrilo and fra

    In favour of quality sound and protection to the speakers it is not necessary a fast connection than usb .
    does not usb . connection lose speed to transfer data for the purpose i describe, comparing to PCI card?

  • How to produce 5.1 sound with logitech z5500 running on iMac 10.5.8 with sound blaster live 24 bit external.

    How to produce 5.1 sound with logitech z5500 running on iMac 10.5.8 with sound blaster live 24 bit external.

    First off your operating system version is obsolete and not being updated for security issues from Apple.
    OS X 10.4/10.5 need to upgrade, 10.6.8 ok still
    So at least you need to upgrade to 10.6.8, and that will make your machine secure again.
    However if you decide to upgrade further to 10.7 or 10.8, be forewarned your PPC based software of old is not going to work any longer. and your machine may require more RAM.
    Check here to see and download the free MacTracker to see your machines true RAM potential and specs. There are videos online at YouTube, it's really easy to install yourself.
    http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    I checked out the z-5500, apprantly the optical out shouldn't be a problem, however the surround sound decoding is a problem as the Mac doesn't do it, just passes it through for decoding on a receiver via the optical out port if your Mac has one.
    Use the free MacTracker to find out or when you upgrade OS X, there is a option in the System Preferences > Sound.
    https://logitech-en-ap.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/9693/section/trouble shoot/crid/409/lt_product_id/224/tabs/1,3,2,4,5/cl/sg,en
    The Sound Blaster Live 24 bit doesn't do Dolby 5.1 according to Wikipedia. More info on it is here.
    http://support.creative.com/Products/ProductDetails.aspx?catID=1&prodID=10702&pr odName=Live!%2024-bit%20External&CatName=Sound+Blaster
    If it's able to accept optical toslink cable from the Mac's toslink stereo mini port (if it has optical output) and then send that to the z-5500 via the analog speakers, then you should be fine.
    I'm afraid you'll have to do some more digging to get it to work.
    The only surround sound your going to get is by playing DVD movies that have it, then it can't have Dolby 5.1 as the Live 24 bit can't decode it.
    So do your research on what surround sound formats the Live 24 can decode, then compare your DVD collection for those movies that have it, then get it all connected and enable it on the movie preferences at the menu.
    Good Luck

  • Sound blaster live 24bit full volume buzzing soun

    hello ,??i just recently bought sound blaster li've 24bit, i have got 2.0 alteclansing VS220 speakers(no subwoofer), wanted to ask when i turn my speakers to medium volume ok no buzz , no problems but when i turn it to max. loud buzz comes from speakers, is it my speakers or is it the sound card signal to strenght ratio thing i don't know help me out.

    Type in run " msconfig" and look for the startup item for the app, in your case?CTsysvol . Place a check in the box next to it.

  • Sound Blaster Live 5.1 - SF1 damaged.

    houk
    Yesterday I've found on my SBLi've5. that subassembly signed as SF (near MID/Gameport) is corrupted (looks like burned out).. Is this little one correspond with using an eventual midi keyboard od game controller? What kind of component is that? Resistor? Or something else? If this thing is important for communication through MIDI/Gameport, and if yes - could it be repaired by changing invalid component?

  • BA7500G + Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit + Windows 2k = no sound

    Similar to the thread for Win XP, I have inherited a BA7500g speaker system, and purchased a new Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit card for my Win2k system. Cannot get the speakers to work, although the speaker test works from the BA control unit. Noticed the digital audio input cable is color coded, and I don't have the original card that matches this scheme. Could this be the problem?

    I have installed a new (not used) Soundblaster Audigy SE and BA7500G speakers and I'm running XP Pro. I'm getting no sound even when I change to Digital Out only? Not sure what to do? Is this sound card not compatible with my speakers? Do I need to purchase the Digital I/O Module that Creative is currently not in stock? I can find the Digital I/O module on Ebay if need be but not sure that's the solution. Please help!
    Thanks,
    Kevin

  • Sbl-soundfonts: soundfont midi lib for sound blaster live

    Something I needed for midi tests of my sound blaster live card.
    The first soundfont file was suggested as the best general soundfont library available for free (8MB). The second is from my sb live install cd (4MB). If you only want the first one remove second source file and second md5sum. You will need asfxload from awesfx package (http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?p=77155) to load the library.

    I recently answered about the same question:
    If you?use Vista or Windows7, then there is no official driver. You can only use alternati've drivers like Vista Support Pack by Daniel_K or the one from KXProject (better). But if you have more than 2 gigs of memory installed or an x64 OS, then both drivers will be half-working (as far as I remember, Daniel's driver won't work with more than 2 Gb of memory installed in any OS, and with KX-driver there will only be a problem with MIDI playback with more than 2 Gb AND x64 Win7).
