Sound Blaster Tactic3d alpha problems

Hi, i have some problems with installing Sound Blaster Tactic3d alpha drivers.
First is that i don't have pannel after installing drivers and second one is that my microphone is muted. Can someone help me ?
*EDIT*
Problems fixed (downloaded and installed this : http://www.userdrivers.com/Sound-Card/Creative-Sound-Blaster-Tactic3D-Alpha-Pack--0-000-for-Windo... ), but now control pannel is freezing on pop up.

Hi,
This could be caused by residual files from previous installation. It would advisable to uninstall and reinstall the package with a clean boot of your system. This article may help.

First of all, Using the link prvided doesn't work it just won't find the firmware.
Second, when I do it manually I get to a link for may snap crackle pop-Sigma and I download it.
BUT...
The link states the firmware should be 538,64 KB, but when I download it I get something that is 05 KB.
And it's NOT a Win32 program...
Is Creative doing this to see if they can annoy their customers or what.
THANK GOD that I don't have anyone responsible here att this moment.
BTW, I have been in contact with Creatives support and since they assume that everybody using their products doesn't know **bleep** about computers, I will probably not get anywhere with my crappy Sigma headphones until Jesus is reborn or something.
**bleep** I'm angry now.

Sound Blaster Tactic3D Wrath Wireless

Hello,
Seem to be having an issue with my headset, the Sound Blaster Tactic3D Wrath Wireless. I've had it wired up to charge now for that past 12 hours or so but decided to watch a movie whilst the headset was charging (Watching the movie with the Headset on giving me sound). Now the Headset has cut out and every time i press the power button, it comes back on for a few seconds then cuts out again.
Anyone got any ideas on what the problem is?
Regards,
Gerard

Cant hear any audio from Sound Blaster Tactic3D Rage Wireless headset

after getting the Sound Blaster Tactic3D Rage Wireless headset i red through the booklet inside and saw that i could download software for it so i went to the address it gave me and downloaded the firmware for windows and after it was finished and i had restarted my computer the headset and USb connector would both flash nonstop. as well as this i cant hear any audio from the headset. help me if you can

Just discharge it and then charge it. Should work then, and never ever try those firmware updates they are the terrorists of these headsets

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 -

Sound Blaster Arena Headphones Problem - On and Off

I have a problem with my Sound Blaster Arena Headset. Its been working perfectly until yesterday. It keeps turning on and off in the playback devices but it stays off unless I replug the USB or switch USB ports. Then shortly after it works again it turns off again. When it says "No audio output device installed" on the list of playback devices, there is a static noise coming out of the headphones like a beat of a pulse. I tried reinstalling numerous times and still no difference. I also tried plugging in the USB in the back of the computer, but with same results, the headset becomes "unplugged" again. Thanks for reading and please try to help.

Yo, if you ever come back here(you last visited in March) We can probably help one another. The wires you are talking about are:
red/blue = V+ or volume up
red/green = MIC switch on/off
green/copper = G (ground for the LED)
FULL red = L or left earphone. I have this associated with tp7.
I have no wires connected to my circuit board. I have been using trial an error to identify what goes where. However I have been given ONE godsend. When the wires were ripped from the circuit board the white sheathed wire left a little section on the circuit board identifying it as tp5.
IF all you have is the four missing connections you could easily use trial n error. Touching the missing wires to each node.
for the mic switch. Open up ventrilo and get it listening for the mic.
process of elimination. Then you can do volume up. or get the led working by touching the ground to the nodes(possibly the easiest)
I'm going back to the drawing board with the the red wire.

Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE problems

Alright first of all I am new to Linux in general.
I have two soundcards in my computer. One is an onboard card (Intel) that is faulty and doesn't work; another is a Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE which does work.
My problem, of course, is getting the latter to work.
So I realize this is nothing new, searching the forums and reading ALSA's wiki. However there seems to be some issues with making this work on ALSA, so is there a way to configure this with OSS?
"lspci | grep audio" returns both soundcards:
00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02)
01:00.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs CA0106 Soundblaster
"ossdetect -v" returns:
Detected Sound Blaster Audigy LS / Live7.1
Detected Intel AC97 (ICH5)
USB support available in the system, adding USB driver
Detected Generic USB audio/MIDI device (BETA)
I use "soundoff" and "soundon", then "osstest":
Sound subsystem and version: OSS 4.1 (b 1052/200903241101) (0x00040100)
Platform: Linux/i686 2.6.29-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Apr 8 12:47:56 UTC 2009

*** Some errors were detected during the tests ***
Basically it seems like it detects the crappy onboard sound (which is unusable, I stress) and not my soundcard. I really don't know how to fix/configure this and sound is really important to me if I'll be using Arch.
Thanks for any help offered, if more information about something is needed I'll be more than happy to oblige.

I would start by disabling the on board sound in your BIOS if you are not going to use it. As a novice user much of the documentation kind of covers the simpler case and this might help you navigate them better.
Keep in mind the Audigy SE is not a real Audigy (like Audigy 2 which has very good linux support). If you are just looking for straightforward playback you should have no trouble, but you will not get hardware mixing with SE IIRC.

Windows Vista vs. Sound Blaster Audigy Value = Problem

I am facing problems with SoundBlaster Audigy Value when using it with Windows Vista. However i have downloaded and installed latest drivers (Version No. - SB24_VTDRV_LB__04_0077) supporting this card but still it is functioning as good as it worked with windows XP .
Prob # : I can hear sound from my TV Tuner device but cannot perform recording , an error ("Cannot render audio capture system") is generated whenever i try to do so. I also tried to set recording control of my Tv Tuner device to sound card's "line in" parameter as i used to do in XP but in Vista my device shows nothing. Why ?
Prob # 2: Can you tell me where I can find "creative graphic equalizer" for this card which supports windows Vista or please provide a link to download it's
Prob # 3: Why we cannot enable "Bass Boost" using new Creative Audio Console while using Creative Inspire 4400 (4. Channel Speakers) like i used to do in windows XP ?
I will be extremely thankful to you if you please provide a solution to these problems.
Thank You........

altho i tried this with audigy se u might wanna check this

Sound Blaster Tactic3D Rage Wireless - Driver and Firmware update, now it's frozen?????????

Just recieved my headphones yesterday - plugged it in and charged it = works. I then decided to download the newest drivers and firmware and went straight to bed. This afternoon, suddenly no sound is detected, what so ever! The USB Power LED flashes slowly and a constant red glow is showing at my headphones.. When I try to re-pair it, the USB Power LED flashes rapidly as it should, but neither the Mic Mute button, nor the Connect Button on the headphones responds.. It feels like the headset is simply just frozen right after the new driver/firmware installation.
I've tried everything pretty much.. Went from Wireless to USB to see if that helped, but it didnt. Tried to remove / setback the drivers, still dosn't work. Headphones is just completely frozen with no buttons working and a constant red glowing light - can't be turned off or restarted!!!
WHAT TO DO?!?
Cheers,
Alexander

My headphones just ran out of power during the day = it resetted itself. I then connected it again and re-paired it. Atm it's working perfectly fine again. I will now try to reinstall the Control Panel, not the driver though, hopefully it will work this time and wont make the headphones go into "non-responding-retarded-mode" once again :-)
Conclusion: For me it felt like it was either the Drivers or the Firmware update, maybe both, which made my headphones "crash", or atleast not respond to any command / buttons pushed. If anyone faces the same or similar problems as me, due to installation of drivers/firmware, let your headset run out of power (if you as me, don't know how to remove the battery manually) and just reconnect it :-) Should work then.

Creative Sound Blaster Tactic3D Rage Wireless crackling sound

Tactic3D Rage Wireless crackling sound all the time when playing any sound on the headset.
Work OK on laptop and other PC in the home. Just not my PC lol. Motherboard: Zotac H55-ITX Wifi. CPU Intel i3.

Pauleley,
Welcome to the forum!
Sounds like an "interference" issue to me. Definitely not an issue with the headset as it is working perfectly fine on another machine. The transmitter operates in the 2.4Ghz frequency spectrum so you might want to check out what other devices runs on the same spectrum near to your computer (just a thought).

Sound Blaster Tactic3D Rage Wireless Firmware update fail

Hey guys,
As the title says, I have a bit of a problem. I just bought the Tactic3d Rage Wireless headset, and decided to update the firmware as I like to have the latest drivers when I get started on new hardware. So I update the transmitter while the headset was turned off. No problem.
Then when it came to the headset I removed the transmitter and plugged the headset directly to the computer and started the appropriate application. At the end of the upgrade it said it failed to load the system after the new drivers was installed or something similar, and now it's just there flashing blue all the time. It doesn't respond to anything, and if I try upgrading the firmware again it says it can't find the headset.
So I'm wondering A) Did I do something wrog here? and B) How do I fix it? Is there a way to restore the factory settings of the headset somehow?
Please help! Thank you in advance.

Sound blaster zxr mic problem

Hi,
I know this issue has been discussed, but still no solution.
Problem is that when i use mic on skype, my friends says my voice sounds damped and bass rich. It helps if i turn crystalizer off but then it gets static noise from somewhere(like fan humming).
Too pricy card to have this kind of issues unsolved.
Software related?

Can you retry your ZXR microphone with Skype again but with the SBX ProStudio effects turned off? I think your noise cancellation wedge setting in the control panel may be too narrow, so you get the muffled voice sound instead of a light, airy sound.

Sound Blaster Tactic3D Omega Wireless PS3 issue

I don't know if I am the only one who is having this issue, but the headphones works fine on PS3 EXCEPT some games like God of War, Evil Within, Journey, Wolfstein, Sniper Elite 3 , what the hell !!! these games support Dolby Digital 5.1 but there is no sound on my headphones
Does anyone here know the solution for this, I am aware that this headphones doesn't support DTS which I wasn't aware about when I first bought the headphones , or AC3 audio format when I play videos on my PS3 , But hey DTS does work on PC which I can't find explanation for this

Hi Eyadisho,
Check out this article on Creative's support site. Maybe you can try to select Linear PCM 2 Ch. 44.1 kHz and Linear PCM 2 Ch. 48 kHz output for audio as stated in the article.
