Sound blaster roar audible hiss

Does anyone else notice an audible hiss when music isnt playing?
By hiss i mean it sounds like air being released.
Volume controls dont seem to affect it, the hiss is constant. It exists while plugged in either AC or USB or unplugged.
After 20 seconds of no input the unit goes into a standby mode and the hiss disappears. If it wake it up the hiss returns. For me it doesnt affect the sound quality too much unless i play music at a low volume and then i can hear it.
Just wondering if this is normal?

I agree, hiss is loud and distracting. Was expecting better execution from Creative in the update (ie. SR20A) to original (ie. SR20).

    Turning on Roar is not enough.
    You need to connect Roar to computer and press and hold Play button:

    Hi Kuen,
    Glad to know your recorded audio is now working!
    Unfortunately, yes there needs to be an audio file in the root directory for you to be able to play recorded audio from the "Voice" folder.
    If in case disk space becomes an issue on your end, you may place small sound bites on the root folder (mp3 files that have 1-2 second durations) instead of song audio files which may take up around 3-5mb. Or you can just transfer your recorded files out of your MicroSD card (a little more troublesome).
    Also, thanks for your input on the Roar being "recognized as a storage". This is actually one of the impressive features that I like about the Roar, because I dont need to purchase an SD Card reader anymore when transferring files to my PC!
    Cheers!

  • Sound blaster live with live drive XP install h

    Does anyone know how I can get my sound blaster li've platinium with li've dri've setup to work under XP? I have tried almost everything, ran the updated which I downloaded from this site and nothing. The li've dri've unit gets no sound out of the headphone port, not even a hiss. I can get sound if I connect directly to the ports on the card, but that defeats the purpose. Under 98 this thing rocked, but it has never worked under XP.
    Thanks in advance....

    Provided you installed the card and it's up and running, it should work. Double-check the internal connections to make sure nothing's come loose. There should be a flat cable going from the soundcard to the dri've, and a small (floppy type) power connector going to the dri've.
    Remove the little cover on the optical output to check for power, if the light shines there then there should be power going to the dri've.

  • Intel HD Audio vs Sound Blaster Extigy

    I am wondering what is a better soundcard.
    The built in Intel HD Audio soundcard or the Sound Blaster Extigy USB?
    I am outputting to a Logitec Z5400 via the optical output of the extigy and the input of the Z5400.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I have to agree but I doubt most people notice. Not a lot a audiophiles anymore. Intel HD specs are typical of a low costs digital to analog converter. You won't find many laptops that spend a lot on sound quality. Although their are a couple PC's that have certified sound with better sound cards. I would think your Macbook like mine has a optical digital connection through the audio jack. If you really want better D/A conversion you could buy a external D/A converter and connect through the optical output. Personally I use a pair of SkullCandy Hesh 2's and find the sound very good. I certainly have heard worse. At least S/N ratio is pretty good. Some laptops I have had in the past really had some nasty background hiss.

    Before Posting:
    Is your sound card not working? Do you need advice on what to try to fix it? Then you are at the right place. Before posting your question, there are a few things you will want to check first.
    Perhaps your question has already been asked and answered. Thousands of questions have been asked and are all stored here on the forums. Right above that orange navigation bar is the search bar, try searching for what you are experiencing. If there is a thread but it doesn't answer your question, check the date, if it is several weeks since the last reply it would be better to name a new thread then resurrect the dead thread.
    Also before posting collect as much information about your card as possible. Get the model number off of the card/device itself and also the inkstamp number (found on an inkstamp or silkscreen on the non-chip side of the card) if you have a sound card. Please note that if you have a card that was preinstalled in your computer by the manufacturer or you bought the card in a brown box or static bag that it is most likely an OEM card. In cases like these it may be best to contact the retailer or the manufacturer (don't forget to check their forums if they have them) for support as the cards can be very different from the retail versions.
    Lost CD, Need Drivers:
    Standalone drivers are available for many of our sound cards and devices on our website. The best way to check is to go to Support/Downloads and select your product from the list and click next. Then you select your Operating System from the drop box (keep the other options on their defaults) and click go. The very first section should be the driver listings. Just because a driver says that it is an update, doesn't mean that it isn't a standalone driver. The best way to check is to click on the details button and read the requirements section. If it doesn't say that it requires previous drivers then it is most likely stand alone and is worth installing. These standalone drivers usually include a configuration utility called "CTpanel.exe" that a quick search of your drive after install will locate. You can use this to set the card up.
    If your card does not list standalone drivers then you will want to contact support to obtain an install CD.
    If your card is OEM, you will need to contact the manufacturer of your system or the retailer you purchased it from for the install CD. There can be major differences between retail and OEM models and the retailer or manufacturer are provided with drivers specific to the card they are distributing.
    Standard Troubleshooting:
    If you are going to ask a question, there are a few standard troubleshooting steps that are suggested for almost any problem. You should really check them out before posting a question as it can save you a lot of time waiting on replies.
    First off, try a cleansweep and reinstall of your card. Often all that the card needs is a fresh start. The steps for this are found in these Knowledgebase articles:
    Uninstalling Sound Blaster Drivers and Applications(Windows Vista)
    Uninstalling Creative Disc Detector
    Uninstalling Sound Blaster PCI Cards
    Uninstalling PCMCIA Sound Blaster Devices in Windows XP
    Uninstalling ExpressCard Sound Blaster Devices in Windows XP
    If that doesn't work, not all is lost. There are many standard troubleshooting steps that are used for almost all problems. Fortunately we have a separate Kbase article that covers these steps. It even has suggestions for specific problems. Here is that link:
    http://support.creative.com/kb/showa....aspx?sid=2538
    Popping Clicking, Hissing, and Other Sound anomalies:
    Perhaps your question is about a popping, clicking, or hissing sound that your card seems to be generating. If so, then this article is for you. The sound optimization article:
    http://support.creative.com/kb/showa...aspx?sid=46913
    If Nothing Above Works:
    One last thing to try would be to clean boot your version of Windows. Perhaps an application is getting in the way of the card working correctly. Try it and see if the card works when clean booting into Windows. If so then something that is starting up is interfering with the card.

    Boston Acoustic Digital Speakers or Prebuilt System With a Digital Live! Card
    Some name brand systems shipped with a special Live! Value card that was made to work with digital speakers. If you system shipped with a Live! Value and you have digital speakers you will need to use drivers provided by your system manufacturer. If you use the drivers on the Creative website your card will no longer work with your digital speakers.
    If you have a set of Boston Acoustic digital speakers that came with your system and they are not working with your sound card, make sure you have it connected to the digital out on the card. Also make sure that the digital out is enabled.

    There's a small discussion on the Asus forums about this issue here:
    http://vip.asus.com/forum/view.aspx?id=20052602425373&board_id=&model=A8V&pa ge=&SLanguage=en-us
    I'm extremely certain this has nothing to do with Creative. I recently tried a Turtle Beach Riviera 5. sound card in my Asus A8V board with the same poor result. Onboard sound works fine as long as you remove the PCI card. Oddly, the four sound cards I've tried (three by Creative) work fine on the same MB using Windows 98. Only Windows XP has this issue, but since it works fine if you restart/wake up from standby/or hit F0 after entering the BIOS, it's obviously directly related to the BIOS.
    Since this problem has gone on for so long with no acknowledgment from Asus, I'm not very hopeful this will ever get fixed. I've considered trying an M-Audio Revolution 5. and see if that works, but I know it's a long shot. I'm also not sure if I want to risk close to $00 on a sound card that I figure has a 0% chance of working.
    (If ANYONE out there in the world has a sound card that works with games on an Asus A8V - please, please, pretty please post in this forum so we can all go out and get it!)
    It absolutely amazes me that a problem this significant slipped by Asus during their supposed "4,000 dedicated man hours" of testing!

  • Sound very distorted at bootup with Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio

    I have a new HP Pavilion Elite e9180t PC with a Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio sound card, an OEM card offered by HP.  On two occasions, only two, so far, when the system is done booting the sound is distorted and it buzzes and hisses periodically.  Upon reboot it is fine.
    I have no idea what is going on and am concerned that this is a system of a pending failure.  Is there something I can check?
    Thanks.

    I have this exact same system with the exact same problems.  I called HP and got a woman who insisted it was all in my head.  She didn't say that, but she continuted to tell me that unless she personally heard the problem herself, she could not help me.  I told her it didn't happen all the time but usually at bootup and about every 6 hours or so as I was playing games throughout the day.  I am a computer professional also, which should be noted, and I have worked tier 3 support for many years so I know how much knowledge a tier 1 support person has, which is what she was.  I couldn't understand much of what she said due to the accent, which made it even more frustrating.  Additionally, she remotely got on my system and clicked a bunch of things that made absolutely no sense whatsoever to the resolution of the problem.  It seemed to me that she was trying to portray herself as "fixing" the problem so that I would agree it was now fixed and move one without her having to send me a new sound card, as I suggested.  She asked me the same questions over and over "so what exactly are you hearing?" and "How often does this occur?".  After the 4th time my frustration really began to show.  Especially after "I'm afraid I have to conclude that there is not a problem with your soundcard if I cannot hear it." and "the diagnostics say the sound card is fine so it must be your speakers" even though I have swapped out the speakers several times and it also occurs on the headphones.  Additionally, I bought TWO identical systems, one for me and one for my husband and his does not have the same problem.  She tried to tell me that our parts were not identical, even though I opened both computers and I will tell you they certainly ARE identical.  She is now calling me in exactly 6 hours because I told her that the issue occurs every 6 hours or so -- clearly she does not understand that that was an estimate of how often it occurs, not an exact timeline.  I am really frustrated.  She also told me there were no other complaints for this issue and now I find this forum.  I also found a similar forum on the creative website.  hmmmm.  That tells me she was lying.  She refused to let me speak to anyone else, also.  Where are the award winning service and support technicians in all of this??  I mean, I work with HP from a business perspective all the time and I get better service.  I am extremely frustrated.

  • Sound Blaster ZX mic muffled and low volume

    Hey guys!
    I'm having a bit of trouble with the microphone bundled with the ZX card. The ACM mic that is.
    I'm not sure if it's the card or the mic, but my problem is that when recording or talking on Skype/TeamSpeak, my voice if very low (even tho I have all sliders maxed out) and it's muffled. It basically sounds like I'm talking in to a pillow.
    If I connect the mic to the built-in Realtek crap on my motherboard, the sound recorded is sooo much clearer though.
    I got to have both the volume and the mic boost maxed out in the Sound Blaster control panel to even hear myself at all. If I turn the noise reduction off the sound gets a bit clearer, but the static noise gets so bad it's unbearable.
    Is my card faulty or is this a driver issue?

    I have exactly the same problem. On Teamspeak my friends were complaining that I was barely audible and sounded muffled/distorted. I tried plugging my logitech desktop mic into the soundblaster, but this didn't solve the issue - so I presume the problem is not with the ACM mic. I also tried playing with the settings in the control panel, but this had little effect. Increasing the boost to 30db improves it slightly, but then the mc also starts picking up my fans and even movement from the headphone cable. Possibly a driver issue???
    Like you I have had to resort to plugging my microphone into the onboard sound card.
    In fact I've just realised that this problem is being discussed in another thread: http://forums.creative.com/showthrea...=699346&page=2

  • Very low audio output Sound Blaster Audigy Fx

    I have been having problems on my PC with windows 7 having no audio output. So today I picked up the audio fx sound card hoping to solve this issue. I have sound now but even after cranking up all of the options in the sound blaster control panel, my audio is barely audible. I have updated to the newest drivers. Any solutions to this problem? The headphones that I am using work fine on my laptop.

    Yes that is disabled. The only way I have been able to turn the audio up enough to be able to hear is to hook up my guitar amp to the sound card and then use that to crank up the volume and use the headphone jack to my headphones. But the sound is super crackly and whiney.
    When I am playing audio, on the volume mixer, under sound it shows the volume level at 100% but whatever application is playing sound will never go above about 50%.

  • DVD-Audio and "can not detect sound blaster card" with Audigy2 Va

    I recently purchased an "Audigy2 Value" card from an eBay user, because I recently purchased some DVD-Audio discs. I downloaded the Audigy2 drivers from the website, and the Creative MediaSource player. 5. Surround sound worked fine for me, though sometimes the driver would reset to the default 2/2. sound and I would have to re-select 5. sound, which was annoying.
    Then I was completely unable to get the MediaSource player to recognise my DVD-Audio discs, and the EAX functionality of the player would never work. The EAX logo never appeared in the player. When I tried installing the MediaSource player from an install disc, I got the message "can not detect sound blaster card". Then I discovered the world of EEPROM problems.
    I followed advice from some other threads, including using ScanPCI to get information on the card, which yielded the following result.
    When installed on my machine (Asus A7A266 motherboard) the ScanPCI reads:

    (Just a note: above you can clearly see that it does not say I have an Audigy, it thinks it is a SBLi've. Is this normal? The card IS an Audigy 2, it says so on the card.)
    So, I put the card back on my own PC, thinking this has fixed my EEPROM, but I get the same as before. Subsystem ID 0002h. And of course the install software will not detect the card.
    I realise that I could go back to using the web drivers, but this still leaves me with MediaSource not recognising the card and not enabling DVD-Audio or EAX, which is why I bought the card in the first place!
    I have heard that the VIA chipset is possibly to blame for the EEPROM problems on the Audigy cards, and certainly it seems like it is not permanent, since it gave different information on the other PC. So now I am seriously considering getting a new motherboard.
    Do other motherboards cause this same problem? I don't want to buy another board and get the same trouble. All I want is to be able to install my MediaSource and have it recognise my card so I can listen to my DVD-Audio discs.
    Cheers,
    Russ.

    Figured out my problem. Installing the drivers from the web to begin with was a bad idea. They just did not work properly with the card.
    The "card not found" problem has gone as well, after installing it in another PC. I am also using the proper install disc now, as the other one I was using turned out to not be for the Audigy 2 value after all, but was an Audigy 2 install disc. That easily explains the "Card not found" error. The differing results from the ScanPCI program are still bizarre, though.
    Thanks to all of the people on the forum who posted information in other threads to help me deal with this issue. For now I am sticking with the original drivers from the disc and I am not upgrading.
