Sound Blaster Z headphone gain and other questions, Help Please

Hello all, I recently installed a Sound Blaster Z on my msi z77a-gd65 board running windows 8.1 and using the latest driver.
I want to use the sound card for gaming via my headphones, but am running into several issues.
1.The first is that it appears that my Headphone gain is set to high. I cannot set lower volumes correctly via headphone as it appears to go from very quiet to very loud and its only on 10 in windows. Ive looked through the Sound blaster control panel but have not found a setting to remedy this.
Any help or tips with this problem will be appreciated.
2.Also I use TeamSpeak 3 while gaming and it appears the surround effects are being applied to this voip program making people very difficult to hear.
Is there a setting or a way to avoid this?
3. Since I have to setup my speakers to 5.1 surround for the surround effects to take while in headphone the problem arises that while im back using the desktop speakers I will have to set the speakers back to stereo to get proper sound.
Is there a way around this?
Any help with any of these issues woukd be greatly appreciated.
Thanks to all.

You haven't found a way to change this?
The sad part is that I really like the sound it makes through my headphones, its just to ****ed loud. Its really defeating the whole porpoise of purchasing tis audio card in the first place.

  • Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS and Logitech 5.1 Surround So

    Hello everyone, this is my first post on these forums, so I thought I'd just start out by saying hello.
    I also have a bit of a problem. For the past several months I've had a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS and a set of Logitech X-530 5. Surround Sound speakers hooked up to my computer. For a these past few months, only two of my speakers have been functionable.
    I know they're not broken, because I can plug in separate cables into a certain plug and either my two front speakers will work, my two rear speakers will work, or my center speaker will work. And yes I do have the most recent drivers for my card. :P
    If anyone would be able to help me with this problem, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
    By the way, here's a picture of the X-530 Speakers I'm using, just in case anybody needs to see them for reference:

  • Problems with Sound Blaster Live! 1024 and Windows 2000 Profession

    Hello everybody, and thank you since now for your help and support.
    Please, forgive my english (I'm italian) not so good, but I hope you can understand me the same.
    I have a Sound Blaster Li've! 024, and so far everything works fine with <EM>Windows 98 SE</EM>, but lately I have installed <EM>Windows 2000 Professional </EM>on my PC, and now nothing works.
    Nothing, neither the softwares, they don't even start!
    Here is what I tried so far:
    - First, I tried to install the old version of the programs, the ones that I had in the CD-ROM when I bought the sound card. At this point, I couldn't even uninstall the softwares!
    - Then, I tried to update the drivers, but it seems that they're already updated when you install Win2000, and the uninstallation didn't works yet.
    - At last, I have downloaded the new software pack, Li'veDrvUni-Pack.exe, but nothing even so. But with this, at least, I was able to uninstall everything from the PC (even if not perfectly).
    - Today, I tried to install only the new pack, Li'veDrvUni-Pack.exe, but still nothing works. When I start running the program (e.g. AudioHQ), I can see the hourglass for few seconds and then everything aborts.
    Please, help me! What can I do? I really don't want to buy a new sound card, even because my SB Li've! 024 works perfectly until now.
    Thank you very much for the attention and for your suggestions.

    That is because you got a new computer. You can only sync all media from one syncing computer. You can sync from any computer to iPod using the manual method but that does not sync from iPod to computer.

  • 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.

  • Sound Blaster Z headphone/mic not working. I am sad :(

    Hello I bought a Sound Blaster Z yesterday. I am running Windows 8.1
    I have a Turtlebeach X12 headset and when I plug the mic/headphone jacks into the Sound Blaster Z I get no sound when swapping to headphones in the SB-Z control panel and also my microphone is not detected. I am using the latest drivers, I have disabled my on-board audio and uninstalled its drivers, and my X12 usb is plugged in for power. I also have double checked the connections from the headset to the SB-Z itself several times.
    Sound comes out of my speaker setup and btw its crystal clear and I am extremely impressed with how much better the SB-Z sounds over onboard audio.
    Thank you for help.

    Hi KingCheese,
    Glad you got to resolve your issue!
    We would really appreciate it if you could post how you were able to resolve it (if it is not too much trouble on your side).
    This is so that other forum members who might experience the same issue can be referred to this particular thread.

  • 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

  • Crossover Settings Confusion and Other Questions

    Equipment is as follows:
    - LG 55-inch 55LH90 LED TV
    - Denon AVR-590 A/V Receiver
    - Klipsch HD 500 5.1 Speakers
    - DirecTV High Def Satellite Receiver/DVR
    Long story very short is that I hit a button on the receiver remote about two weeks ago, unknowingly changing the existing audio settings to something along the lines of Matrix or Direct or Stereo.  I'm not one to fool with trying to customize settings on equip. like this... I usually just use the very basic functionality in controlling the equipment, as that's why I paid money 1.5 years ago to have everything professionally installed and calibrated.
    Upon accidentally hitting that remote control button, my audio went to pot, was very muffled, volume was minimal, sound was hissy, etc.  Sounded like I was listening to $15 speakers.
    Had no idea what had happened, didn't want to fool with trying to figure it out myself, contacted the receiver manufacturer to explain what had happened, they recommended immediately that I reset the receiver and thought the processor had locked up.  Did the reset and that of course unfortunately scrapped all of my custom calibration settings that the installers had configured a year and a half ago.  Sound still not improved.  Recommended that I send the receiver in for repair.  I held off for a few days on doing that and finally found the likely cause / solution on a message board, clicked the same button on the remote that I'd likely clicked by accident a few weeks earlier, and the sound was back to a more normal level.
    However, now I'm left without all of those custom calibrations via the Audyssey stuff that was erased, and I'm lost as can be as to how to get our system sounding like it did prior to all of this happening approx. 2 weeks ago.
    I'm lost on the crossover frequency settings and what they should be, what the dials on the rear of the subwoofer should be set at, what the crossover settings for the front / center / rear surround speakers should be, etc.
    I ran the Audyssey configuration using the supplied microphone that came with the receiver, but the resulting sound just still doesn't sound at all like it did originally after the installers did all of the setup / configuration back in Aug. 2009.
    Audyssey sets the crossover levels of my front L/R speakers to 120 HZ.  Audyssey sets the crossover level of my center channel to 110 Hz.  Audyssey sets the crossover levels of my rear L/R surround speakers to 120 Hz.  In what I seem to remember is the "bass management" area of the receiver settings, the crossover for the subwoofer is set at 80 Hz.  I believe another setting for the subwoofer is LFE+Main, too.
    With the above in mind, I have no idea at all (1) if the crossover values are appropriate for the various speakers and the subwoofer in the mix to distribute high/mid/low sounds appropriately between the speakers and the sub, (2) I have no idea what the "Level" knob on the rear of the subwoofer should be set to (values range from Min to Max), (3) I have no idea what the LowPass (Hz) knob on the rear of the subwoofer (ranges from 80 to 100) should be set to, and am just very confused / frustrated that with the accidental click of a button on the receiver remote 2 wks. ago and then Denon's tech support recommending the most drastic solution to this issue in resetting the receiver's processor and erasing all of the custom Audyssey settings.  I'm left with very sub-par sound as a result of all of this and can't seem to get the re-run Audyssey calibration routine to get my system back to sounding as phenomenal / balanced as it did for nearly 1.5 years straight after the initial setup / calibration of everything back in Aug. 2009 by the Best Buy professional installers.
    Any explanations of what the crossover settings for all of my speakers and subwoofer, knob settings on the rear of the subwoofer should be (in general, mind you, as I know all situations / environments / listening preferences are different), or any other helpful recommendations are GREATLY appreciated.  I'm very frustrated that Denon's tech support didn't first have me see if I had accidentally adjusted the sound properties via the remote via an accidental button click as opposed to taking my receiver back to square one.  I'm not a technical master of this stuff and have no idea what I'm doing wrong in trying to get everything back to sounding like the great system it used to sound like.
    Thanks in advance for any clearly-explained suggestions / recommendations on all of this.  My last resort is to contact Best Buy and pay them to come back out to re-calibrate everything themselves if I can't figure out where my calibration settings / adjustments are wrong.

    As I said in my first post in your other thread "you changed a setting the receiver and speakers are fine" <- not word for word but close to what I said LOL.  I knew from what you described thats what it had to be.  I do have a  concern about the phase issues and the distance readings but that could be placement of mic or if your speakers are facing straight out instead of being slightly faced inward.  May I ask where did you place the mic and was it on a tripod? I suggest either borrowing or buying a camcorder tripod for this.  I answered your questions below in blue.
     Also before ever doing a reset on any piece of equipment check the internet for some ideas as it could save you a lot of headaches.

    Okay... stayed up late last night running through the Audyssey calibration routine.  Took several tries at the calibration routine, as it kept on coming back saying I had phase issues with various speakers (it bounced around between telling me the phase issues were with the Front Left, the Front Right, and the Center Channel).  I just kept on re-running Audyssey until it finally ceased telling me some of the speakers had phasing issues.
    Before I continue, I can't thank you enough again for reading through my posts and offering your suggestions... really do appreciate the assistance!
    While I'm thinking about it, I determined why the sound qualities / volume / etc. got so poor all of a sudden about 2-3 weeks ago.  I apparently accidentally hit one of the buttons on the receiver remote that changed the sound setup from whatever it had been set on forever to something like "Virtual" or "Direct" or "Stereo" or something like that, as opposed to Dolby Digital or whatever it had been set on forever.  I unfortunately went through the recommended Microprocessor Reset procedure on the receiver per their tech support's recommendation & that's why I lost all of the original Audyssey calibrated settings from August 2009, when all along, I could've just resolved the audio issues if I'd known that I'd accidentally clicked a button on the receiver remote, and had known I just needed to re-click another button to get the audio back to what it was normally set on. Here are the results that were set by the Denon AVR-590 via the Audyssey calibration.  Note:  Before beginning the Audyssey calibration process, I had the volume level knob on the rear of the sub itself turned halfway to the 12 o'clock position, and the LowPass knob on the rear of the sub turned all the way to the right (I believe 160 was the value).  I ultimately turned the volume knob on the rear of the sub to about the 10 o'clock position as I re-ran the Audyysey calibration multiple times, as the dB values being shown for the sub were coming back at - 12.0 db or close to that with the sub volume set at the 12 o'clock position.  The sub dB value got closer to the desired 0 dB value (as shown below) with the sub volume knob set to the 10 o'clock position.
    * Speaker Configuration Check    *
    - Front Speaker                 Small
    - Center Speaker              Small
    - Subwoofer                       Yes
    - Surround Speaker         Small
    - S. Back (Preout)             None
    * Distance Check                 *
    - Front Left                         0.1 ft                     (this should seemingly be more like 15.0 ft)  is the speaker facing slightly in
    - Front Right                       1.3 ft                     (this should seemingly be more like 15.0 ft) "  it should be                             "
    - Center                               14.7 ft                   (this seems accurate)
    - Subwoofer                       16.3 ft                   (this seems accurate)
    - Surround Left                 8.0 ft                     (this seems accurate)
    - Surround Right               8.7 ft                     (this seems accurate)
    * Channel Level Check            *
    - Front Left                         + 12.0 dB  Lower this to about 2 or 3 db below the center channel
    - Center                               +  2.5 dB
    - Front Right                       + 12.0 dB Lower this to about 2 or 3 db below the center channel
    - Surround Right               +  2.0 dB
    - Surround Left                 +  2.5 dB
    - Subwoofer                       -  2.0 dB
    * Crossover Frequency Check      *
    - Front                                  60 Hz                    (seems low... not sure...) Set to 80 hz
    - Center                               120 Hz                   (seems reasonable... not sure...)you can leave it or set it to 80 hz
    - Surround                          150 Hz                   (seems high... not sure...) again leave it  or set it to 120 or 80 hz
    - S. Back                               None
    Okay, I've made the following minor adjustments thus far post-Audyssey calibration, as noted below:
    - SW Mode:                        LFE+Main  set to LFE only
    - LPF for LFE:                      120 Hz
    - Sub Volume Knob         Left sitting around the 10-11 o'clock position on rear of sub
    - LowPass Knob                                Left sitting at max setting to the right on rear of sub (I believe value is 160)
    - Front Left                         15.1 ft. is now what I've set the distance chk. at manually, as opposed to 0.1 ft
    - Front Right                       15.3 ft. is now what I've set the distance chk. at manually, as opposed to 1.3 ft.
    So there we are... ANY additional insight you may have on any of the values I've reported to you and whether or not they seem reasonable or completely out of whack is greatly appreciated.  My main concerns/questions are the various Crossover Freqency values set by Audyssey and whether or not they should likely be manually adjusted by me to better utilize/distribute the sound between the various speakers / sub, and secondly, why/how did Audyssey so incorrectly set the distance of my Front Left & Front Right speakers and was it likely wise of me to have set them to what they should be w/a new distance setting now of around 15 ft. for each of the Front Left and Front Right speakers?
    Here are my questions in a nutshell now.  I'm probably overanalyzing things now since having experienced this audio issue a few weeks ago and now I'm prob. hyper-sensitive to all aspects of the home theater sound I have at present.
    (1) Why do commercials seem to have expanded sound using all speakers whereas just you plain ol' TV programs seem to use fewer speakers and just mainly the center channel aside from some occasional applause and such coming out of the Front Left and Front Right speakers?
    The commercials are most likely broadcast in stereo instead of surround sound.  The receiver will switch from dolby digital to stereo and you won't even notice it except for the sound.
    (2) Why would I hit the "STD" button on the receiver remote to choose Dolby Digital vs. when
     to hit the "SIMU" button on the receiver remote to select "5 Channel Stereo" or other options via that "SIMU" button?5 Channel stereo is just that, Its 2 channel stereo being output through all 5 channels.  It is not 5 channel surround.  Standard give you Dolby digital, Prologic II etc.  Simulation gives you 5 channel stereo, Matrix, Hall and the other simulated surrounds. You want to hit the standard button.
    (3) On rear of subwoofer, I've set the LowPass knob all the way to the right, assuming that the "LFE +Main" and "LPF for LFE = 120Hz" settings override the LowPass knob on the rear of the sub, therefore having that knob turned all the way to the right to allow the settings for the sub in the receiver itself to control the LowPass / Crossover stuff.  Correct. As long as the sub accepts LFE signals the receiver will send anything lower than 120hz  directly to the sub. If not that is why you are setting it to the highest setting.
    (4) With Audyssey Crossover Frequencies set as shown above, are these reasonable/appropriate values to where all speakers are utilized properly for the equipment I have in distributing all low/mid/high frequencies appropriate between the various speakers / sub without audio drops and so forth?  The Crossover Frequency stuff is probably the most confusing part of all of this to me.
    Again, I can't thank you enough for your help and any additional recommendations you can make regarding my situation.

  • 6303 micro sdhc and other questions

    1. in the phone specs its says "microSD memory card slot, hot swappable, max. 4 GB" (note that it does not say sdhc), yet in the compatible accessories the "Nokia 8 GB microSDHC Card MU-43" is listed. What gives? Is the phone compatible with sdhc at all? Is it compatible with 16gb cards. Is it compatible with "class 6" (faster) sdhc?
    2. During video playback the button stay illuminated which is quite unnecessary for long clips. Is there a way to disable it?
    3. Can a normal (3pole) stereo jack be used with the phone? Will the radio function when doing so? Is there a way to listen to the radio from the speaker?
    4. Can the phone display 30fps mp4 or is it down sampled (perhaps due to display limitations) . Can the phone handle mp4 with higher than 320x240 resolution (not that it makes any sense to encode them at larger resolutions).
    Thanks in advance
    PS. As a note to anyone looking to buy this phone, have to say then I am, so far, very happy with it. I bought it mainly as multimedia device and even movie watching on the 2.2 screen is very comfortable all things considering. Recommend to anyone on an average budget not wanting to sacrifice small form factor for media capability.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    hi there, 
    to answer your questions:
    1. all phones that suppor the microSDHC standard will take these memory cards up to a theoretical maximum of 32gb (these cards are not available yet, highest is 16gb). so the 6303 will accept 16gb cards, the only issue that would be present is if the correct amount of free space/used space on the memory card is displayed correctly by the phone. however, nokia has been doing a good job lately with their firmware updates so fully-fledged support for 16gb cards is usually taken care of.
    2. i am guessing this has something to do with the power saver features, i too had the same behaviour on my previous 5610, the lights on the slider key would remain illuminated while watching videos. so to turn this off, you will have to change the power saver and light effects etc in the phone/profile settings.
    3. my normal 3 pole stereo jack, what exactly do you mean by this. do u mean 3.5mm audio jack? i thought it already had a normal 3.5mm audio jack? the radio function requires headphones/earphones to be plugged in as a headset, as the wiring acts as the antenna. there should be a way to listen to radio through the speaker of the phone, however you do require the headphones to be plugged in as they act as the antenna. when you are in the radio application, the option to play via loudspeaker should present.
    4. i am unsure about the video playback capabilities of the phone, although a lot of the newer Series40 devices seem to be able to play mp4 at 30fps. however, i cannot vouch for this with certainty. i am also no expert regarding video conversion. however, i do think it requires 240 x 320 resolution and cannot play higher-resolution video, as it will need to be converted into the appropriate format first.
    hope this answers your questions somewhat.
    please throw some kudos our way, it would mean a lot to us   
    If you found this or someone's comments helpful or like what that person has to say, please give some Kudos to their post!

  • Both Sound Blaster Live 5.1 and Integrated Sound Card Does Not W

    Hi! I <B>just</B> installed a new mother board and cpu. Its an ECS 755-A2 mother board with a 3200+ AMD Sempron/64-bit CPU. It's not the best, but i was trying to save money.Before, I had a soyo and a 2800+ AMD Athlon XP and i had the Sound Blaster Li've 5.. Now with this ECS mb, the sound card doesn't get detected anymore, even in device manager. I downloaded the new driver for the Sound Blaster Li've 5. from their official website and when I came to install it... it said that there were no Sound Blaster cards detected on my computer even though it was securely pushed in IN a pci slot!!Then I decided that I don't need sound blaster so i installed the driver for the integrated sound card on my mb (realtek AC-97) and everything LOOKS fine according to their program and the control panel (sound and audio options) but i dont receive any sound from anything at all. I was planning on buying a NEW sound card but then i decided to test this Sound Blaster Li've 5. on my bro's computer. Ironically, it was detected on his .2 ghz AMD Athlon Thunderbird and now i'm puzzled as why it wasn't detected on mine.<B>What solutions have I tried?</B>I installed numerous drivers for both the sound blaster and the integrated sound card repeatedly and there wasn't any hope. I re-installed the OS twice (I'm willing to do a third though)I don't know what else I can try.. can anyone help and please don't say the mother board :[?<B>Specs:</B>3200+ AMD Sempron/64-Bit CPU (2.2 ghz)ECS Elite Group 755-A2 Motherboard52 DDR RamGeforce 4 Ti4200 Video Card

    If you had change the motherboard then I suggest you format your harddisk and start from a fresh install of the OS and not just reinstall the OS.
