SoundBlaster Audigy 2 Platinum eX card

My computer has been crashing for some time and I could not figure what was causing the problem. ?I ran a diagnostic test with Systems 9 Professional and during the "multimedia sequencer test" the computer crashed and then rebooted. ?During the second test, the sequencer was okay, however, the "wave audio test right speaker" froze up the computer and I had to hard boot. ?My speakers are the Klipsch with a sub-woofer. ?Any help at this time would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
JoeCool

I found your link BadBoy :-)
Thanks for the effort in putting all CD-ROMs in to ISO.
A bookmark for sure.
Creative should make it their duty to do this though.

SoundBlaster Audigy 2 Platinum Softw

Hey,
I just reinstalled my OS (WinXP SP2) and need to install the drivers & software for my SoundBlaster Audigy 2 Platinum card. I no longer have the cd and the drivers & software on Creatives' site is only upgrades... Anyone have an idea how I can go about installing the drivers and software without the CD?
Thx!

A couple of things.
There are websites out there with full drivers for hardware out there. Usually, they take the installer off of the manufacturer's website (with consent) and post it on theirs. If the manufacturer decides to discontinue download services for their drivers, these websites will still have the drivers on there. Do a Google search and find out. MAKE SURE, however, that you download Creative-signed drivers (otherwise, they're bootleg).
Or, you can go to a local hardware store (where you got the sound card) and ask them to tear open a box for you and install the software. If the store is like a Best Buy or Circuit City, they may have a copy of the driver sitting behind the desk at their customer support/computer service area. They will install it for you, but they may charge.
One final thing, check the Creative website again. They may actually have the driver on there, I tend not to look hard enough the first time, so I always double-check.

Soundblaster Audigy 2NX External Sound Card Fidelity Degradat

I get a muted, out of phase, tinny sound along with the music being played; sounds ok for a while then this happens regurlarly. Closing player & reopening stops the problem temporarily but recurs. I've uinstalled/reinstalled software & updated as well. Any suggestions?Message Edited by Vince8 on 0-22-2005 09:50 PM

You should insist to have the installation CD. There are several essential software in the CD which may not be avaibale for download. Alternati'vely, you may want to contact Creative technical support to get/buy the CD.

Audigy 2 Platinum random rebo

I got the Audigy 2 Platinum shortly after it was originally released. It worked for several months beautifully, then started randomly blue screening and making a terribly high-pitched noise before rebooting itself. I tried different pci slots and it kept doing it whether I was playing games or typing a paper.
Eventually, I built a new computer with a new motherboard and figured that would cure the problem. It didn't take long before the reboots started. This time I assumed it was actually the card to blame. I found a replacment platinum card on Creative's Ebay Store and installed it only to still suffer from the same problem.
I have the latest drivers and latest software via this site's support links.
If anybody could share any light on this matter, I'd deeply appreciate it as my onboard sound is nothing compared to the brilliance of the Audigy 2 Platinum.

MSI Neo4-F
AMD 64 3000+
Connect3d X800XL PCI-E
Soundblaster Audigy 2 Platinum
2 x 200GB SATA HD
024MB OCZ Platinum Revision 2 (2-2-2-5)
Also, I've disabled onboard sound but the problem still occurs.Message Edited by gillbell on 2-3-2005 0:6 PM

New Mic + New Audigy 2 Platinum = Lots of Background No

I just purchased a new microphone and the Creative SoundBlaster Audigy 2 Platinum. I linked the microphone I'm using below. I have installed all of the drivers for the Audigy card and noticed when I am trying to record voice, I hear a substantial amount of background noise even in a completely silent room. I have included a link to a test mp3 and wav below where you can hear what the mic sounds like. I have the mic plugged into the back of the soundcard.
I have also attempted to move the microphone closer to my mouth, farther away, facing different positions, etc... Nothing really seems to work. It also sounds a bit quiet even with the volume turned all the way up.

Neo4-F + Audigy 2 Platinum issue

Hi all!
I've had an audigy 2 platinum sitting around my house since it originally came out. I never installed it on my new board because I was lazy, and impressed with the onboard sound. I'm a musician and gamer and it is time to get that crisp sound back.
I installed the card and about 20 minutes later, my computer blue screened and made a horribly high pitched noise until it rebooted itself. After rebooting, the frequency of these reboots increased. I turned off onboard audio and switched pci-slots, neither solved the problem. I figured the card was static-shocked or simply dying, and I bought a replacment. The replacment does the exact same thing!
Now that I'm on my second card, I leaning towards a compatibility issue with the motherboard. My computer runs oh so sweet until an audigy is placed in it.
The blue screen refers to something like "IRQL_LESS_THAN_OR_NOT_EQUAL." That may not be exactly it, but I think its close.
I've live-updated the board and have the latest BIOS. No overclocking.
My machine in a nutshell.

Hi,
Post your computer's complete PSU (Power Supply Unit) specifications. These can be found on a label in the PSU itself.
Also, please make a signature with your complete computer specifications on it, including floppy, optical drive(s), hard drive(s),
graphic card(s), RAM manufacturer and ammount, and any other add-on card installed.

Once this is done, I'm sure the folks here will be more than happy to help.

Will the external hub of an audigy 2 platinum pro ZS work with an X-fi Xtreme Mus

Topic title says it all.
I recently bought a new pc with a Soundblaster X-fi Xtreme Music, I love the new features of the card however I don't really want to shell out on getting a usb hub.
With my old pc I had a Soundblaster Audigy 2 Platinum Pro ZS (phew that name is long) and it came with a very usefull external hub with midi and audio inputs, the works. I was wondering if it is possible to hook these two up?
Thanks in advance

No, they aren't compatible. The X-Fi card doesn't have any AD_Link connector to link up with the external I/O console you have.

Hi
You may first need to patch the driver package by using ctcomp.exe to get std. drivers (eg. not Dell specific) installed to your Dell PC. Search this forum after ctcomp.exe --> there you'll find some instructions too.
You can also find a link to the latest drivers available (I personally use Audigy 4 drivers from november 2005 --> can be found from creative support pages) by searching this forum (I think the latest WHQL version is .~62 for the original version).

?Your card is not "udigy 2 Value"? but "Audigy 2 Platinum" series card. So if you try install drivers go from CT support then select Audigy 2 Platinum there. IIRC, there are/were some problems to install original drivers for OEM cards ... resolution was/is to go to the vendors (dell in this case) support pages and install?drivers from there if you find ones. You may also try to install?HP OEM driver or patched Audigy installation. You can find both by searching here. jutapa?

Inspire P7800 connected to Audigy 2 Platinum

Help please. I properly (as far as the diagram shows) connected my new speakers to my existing Audigy 2 platinum sound card (not the front console but the sound card itself) but I do not seem to have the original sound card CD so downloaded the newest driver from Creative downloads and installed that. No matter what I do I can only get sound out of one speaker. What am I doing wrong?

There is only one choice. To get digital on the Z-5500, you have to use it's decoder (because you cannot turn it off). If you try to use the Audigy 2's decoder, you will get no sound. You can't send a decoded signal to another decoder.
In the Audigy 2 settings, select "spdif passthrough". This will disable the Audigy 2's decoder and just send the compressed digital signal to the Logitech Z-5500 control pod and it will then do the decoding (that's if you have the "coax" setting on in the control pod. Also make sure to have the DVD player software also set to "spdif" for the speaker selection.
You will be then be good to go. You can use the Z-5500 to switch between analog and digital (do not disconnect the 3 analog cables from the Audigy 2 to the Logitech Control Pod).

Creative Soundblaster Audigy 2 Zs help

Before I start rambling on about my problem here are my specs (BTW I'm not incredibly computer literate; my dad helped me install everything before I left for school):Cpu: Intel Duo Processor 2.66 GhzRAM: .5 GB DDR2Video Card: ATI Radeon 9600 (soon to be one of their newer models)OS: Windows XPSound Card: Creative Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS?Ok so I was reinstalling everything after I had to format my computer. I get through installing my creative sound card and figure everything went great. I was playing my music when I had realized that I forgot to configure my sound card for them, as I was getting mono instead of stereo (was only playing out of left speakers). So I go into speaker setup and click on "calibrate speakers" or something like that. Anyway, the speaker calibrator says that It could not be ran for some reason (i forget). I figure that it wasn't working because I hadn't updated anything yet. I update, and I still get the same message. So I reinstalled the software and updated it again and now when I try to run ANY of my creative software related to the sound card (I.E. EAX console, Speaker Setup) it says that "The Audio device supported by this software is not detected. The Application will now shut down."? Now remember that I'm not great with computers, so my solution now will probably sound stupid. But anyways I figured that I had installed the wrong sound card software (it gives me three choices on the disc). I uninstall everything and choose another setting. I still got the same problem. So I try the third choice and I get the same problem. Any suggestions? I've tried all three choices and I still get the same problem.
