Sound Blaster Upgrade External Console-Anyone Famil

I have had?the External Console for a while, past the warranty period but never utilized the 'phono /aux' RCA in jacks in the rear. A couple of days ago, I plugged in my turntable into the jacks, I am not getting any sound? I have the Extreme Music internal sound card and have updated drivers for both, I would appreciate some guidance. I'm cabled from the internal card? to the console through the AD_Link, there isn't much more. If I connect my turntable directly to the internal card, it works fine? Don't seem to have any other options?

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
ps.
:/About to make another topic pretaining to that ina few though.

Can my sound blaster support external audio amplifi

Hi all,
I have got sound blaster audigy 4.
Yesterday, I purchased a pair of high quality speakers from a PC store.
The speakers somehow look like these two speakers in the picture:

No I am planning to buy an amplifier so that the speakers can be connected to my
sound blaster.
But I am just not sure if my sound blaster audigy 4 supports external audio amplifier.Message Edited by kwokwai on 06-28-200708:52 AM

Strictly speaking, it actually needs an external amplifier (whether it's integrated in a speaker set, A/V receiver?or as a standalone device). You shouldn't have any problems as long as you have the correct cable to connect the card to the amp (normally a miniplug-to-RCA Y-cable).

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.

Any ISOs for Sound Blaster Arena CD?

Hi, I got my Sound Blaster Arena headset last year when I started gaming. The drivers installed right away, so I didn't think I needed the CD. Recently, I've been reading on how to improve quality on the headset by installing some things that are on the CD, but now I can't find it. I think I might have thrown it out with the box (not that I have a CD-rom drive anyway).
Can anyone tell me what programs would be on that CD that comes with the Sound Blaster Arena? Does anyone know if I can get the ISO or the programs from an external source?
Thanks for any help

Hi,
You can find the drivers in the download area but some of the applications aren't available for download. If you are looking for the installation cd, you might want to write to Customer Support to see how they can help you with this.

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 External card and Windows

I recently up-graded from W/98SE to XP I have an external sound card Model SB0270, I have the card (USB) plugged directly into the back of my computer. My card was working just fine until I installed XP now my computer doesn't see my sound card. I have uninstalled and reinstall, re booted afterwards, shut down every running program before hand, everything you should and could do but still no sound. I do a diagnostics and it fails every time. I have tried to download software and driver upgrades but that too has failed because my computer says I need to allow pop-up. I have allowed pop up ads as directed, checked my firewall and it will allow junk in but still no up-dates and no sound. Under Control Panel, devices, Sound and Audio Device, hardware, Creative Sound Blaster, Properties, the message there is "this device is working properly" and it says "Use this device (enabled). I don't understand, Is there any help for this card, it is only 3 month old.
very frustratedMessage Edited by frustratedNJM on 0-20-2004 09:26 PM

FrustratedNJM,
Try running DXdiag on the card and see if the card passes the sound tests. Go to Start/Run and type Dxdiag into the run box then click Ok. Go to the sound tab and run the Direct Sound tests. Does it pass them? If so you may want to try to cleansweep and reinstall the Audigy 2 NX after finishing the USB chipset updates. Here is the article that deals with cleansweeping the drivers out.

Sound Blaster External USB Headphone J

Hi. I have a pretty old Sound Blaster external card--So old, in fact, that it's just called Sound Blaster. No subtitles or anything. Anyway, I've been using it for years, and in the last two it's developed a short of some kind in the headphone jack. When I lose audio in the right or left earpiece, I need to fiddle with the volume dial next to the jack very carefully until sound is properly restored. I'm almost certain my only trouble is a short, so I was wondering if there was anything I could do to get this fixed without actually opening it up myself (I don't want to ruin my card).
Any ideas?
Thanks, in any case.

Procrasticus,
Well, if you tried other headphones and other USB cables and get the same problem, then my next guess would be a defecti've headphone jack. (And after that a defecti've volume pot.) This is where it helps to be handy or have a friend who is handy with a soldering iron because it's really a very simple job. Else, you might take it to a small consumer electronic outlet (e.g., a Radio Shack or maybe a TV repair shop) and ask if there is anyone there who would solder a new jack in place for you for a fee. However, at the end of the day, it might be time to buy a new soundcard.

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 Extreme Music do not detect changes on the console

I'm using the sound blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic with Logitech Z-5500 and the Flexi Jack, connected on Digital mode (Using Coaxial and Optical). The OS? Is Windows Vista Ultimate 32 Bits.
The problem at this moment is that I can not make any change on the console configuration, I mean, if I change the speaker connection or change any parameter of the configuration has no reaction,I even change the EAX effects, the CMSS-3D ad nothing happen, all that I can control with the console launcher is the volume.
I reinstall the drivers and download from the website the latest drivers I found and same problem.
?Any help?
THANKS?

Choose Soundblaster in the dropdown box and you will see XFi listed , you will find the latest drivers there....Seems rather strange to me since this is a XFi card, but hey I did not design the Website......

How i can connect my home theather on my sound blaster extern

Hi acidhouse,
Thank you for your message. I'm so sorry about that. We could still try other settings based on your current configuration. Check the "Control for HDMI" setting on both your soundbar and blu-ray player.
To go to the Control for HDMI setting on
BLU-RAY:
1. Go to SETUP
2. Select System Settings
3. Select Control for HDMI
4. Select ON.
SOUNDBAR:
1 Press AMP MENU to turn on the AMP menu.
2 Press left arrow (return)/ up or down arrow (select)/ right arrow (proceed) repeatedly to select the item
and press center button to decide the setting.
3 Select HDMI
4 Select C.HDMI, select ON
5 Select P. THRU, select ON
4 Press AMP MENU to turn off the AMP menu.
See if turning these settings on might help you with the type of configuration you want for your components.
If you have anymore questions, kindly recommend visiting our Sony Global Web site for information on contacting the Sony Support Center in your region at http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/Support/.

Using Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 as a decoder for an external DVD-pla

Can the Sound Blaster Li've! 5. soundcard be used as a dolby digital decoder for an external DVD-player? The way I was thinking to do this is to use an RCA to 3.5 mm audiocord from the DVD-player and plug it into the soundcards line-in. Will it decode the dolby digital signal and pass it to the speakers?

the line in (2.0 channel) can never decode a dobly digital signal you need an coaxical or optical cable to pass it trouch the soundcard and listen with you speakers, and btw and audigy li've 5. cant support digital input you need a newer soundcard like a audigy 2, 4 or xfi with the external dri've bay

In order to keep the good behavior here (I`m really pissed off !)

Aaaaand ..... **bleep**. When I play?any track it CRACKLES. Again problem appearanced with many here. I tried to find out here what is the problem but unfortunately as u can see my english is quite bad?so I cant understand?what I need.I really like Creative but if they cant manage this problem I will?no longer buy their stuffs??JUST PLEASE SOMEBODY ANSWER ME IS THERE ANY SOLUTION FOR THIS OR NOT.
