I own a Dell E50 Dimension computer with the Sound Blaster Audigy MB Advanced component. When I updated my Windows Media Player from 0 to ,?the graphic?visualizations that I had with my equalizer,?while listening to my music cds, doesn't exist any longer. Is there any way I can bring this feature back to this component? Everything else seems to work fine.
The disk?Dell?included with my?system is of no use.

I got a problem to,I bought a dell dimension 950.
As default I got soundblaster audigy advanced MB.After I format win xp and reinstall the comp,I get an error when I try to install the audio drivers from the cd, I only see a emty box..and nothings happens, when I open the cd's and find the setup,the program gives me an error and a new box want me to write the activations key, when I wrote the **bleep**ing code, I get and error .....can not connect to internet.

  • Soundblaster Audigy 2ZS Has Problems with

    I recently purchased a PS3 and I use the optical out and connect it to my sound card and from the card to my klipsch speakers. I get 5. sound from my ps3 via the route I have listed above when I play a ps2 game or if i am to hover over the preview of a demo of a ps3 game. Blue rays will work as well. I don't get any sound when I play the demo of a ps3 game or play a ps3 game or even when I play a dvd. When I called Sony (2 hour phone call) they came to the conclusion after lots of trial and error with the ps3 that my decoder did not support the Dolby Digital that the PS3 was outputting.
    Other information that you may need:
    The PS3 is updated.
    I have tried sound through the hdmi cord and using an optical from the tv (same problem as above).
    I can get 2 channel sound from the tv though through the hdmi when I play these things.
    Oh and yes I have the latest drivers for my sound card.
    If you need any other information I will be happy to give it.

    I suppose you have the audigy 2 zs platinum or the platinum ex? Did you turn on the SPDIF In-decode option from the soundcard decoder option?

  • Dell Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS - Read T

    Note!
    Dell ships stripped Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS cards with their computers. They stripped the DTS decoder in order to buy them cheaper.
    Thank you Dell! :robotmad:

    h?h?h?h?h?, and they also modify firmwares in a funny way: I remember when lefting my first IT, the computers administrators were crazy because their brand new Dell PC with an excellent CD 48x writer was tweaked to burn only at 48x.
    Simple lesson : NEVER buy a PC from a big manufacturer. Order a PC with original pieces is the only way no to be swindled.

  • SoundBlaster Audigy,DR

    Presently using the Soundblaster Audigy, DR sound card with Bose speakers on? Windows Vista Premium OS. I have to go beyond halfway?on the volume setting to really get? good sound. Have installed the latest driver from Creative for Vista. As stated cannot use the original software for my device. My other system with Windows XP Pro does a marvelous job with the sound on my Bose speakers. Anyone know what the problem might be other than purchasing a new sound card?

    i MUST REMOVE THE AUDIGY 4 to play the games and sent to third world as present...
    Anyone can support me?
    I think it's the TRUST 800 DV PCI KIT fireware 400/800 that goes in conflict with Audigy..MAYBE (but i need it for hd fw)? Anyhelp?

  • Creative SoundBlaster Audigy Advanced MB software activation probl

    Hello!?I bought?a software named Creative SoundBlaster Audigy Advanced MB, when I ordered my notebook Inspiron 720 from DELL, on the 8th? of September, 2007. They provided a CD for the software, which I installed, and it worked. But then later that day (when I recieved the laptop), I formatted the hard-disk for the following reasons - ) It only had 2 partitions for the entire dri've, one of which was a recovery partition, and I wanted to create more.2) I wanted to remove MediaDirect.3) I wanted to remove bloatware that DELL gave me with it, ie, DELL Quickset, DELL Support, DELL this, DELL that, Norton AntiVirus etc.4) I wanted Vista installed by my way. After I had done everything I wanted, I started to re-install the Creative software, the same way like I did before. But this time, when it took me to the transaction page and asked me for the reason of re-installing this software, it said "The CD Key has expired."?I have tried 2 different browsers,?I have cleared my cache, I have penta-checked my CD-Key before each install and have done anything a Computer Software engineer (me) would do, with the help of the Internet as well. But my every effort went in vain. Then, I did something I didn't want to do, I contact DELL technical support. Their solutions ranged from installing the latest drivers (yes, drivers for a software), to removing and re-installing the latest Internet Explorer (yes, they asked me to REMOVE IE) to put the HARDWARE in some other machine. Quite clearly, the 4 support executi'ves I talked to there at DELL had no clue as to what is going on and what is the problem. Then, after a 2 hours chat with another one of them, I was told that they just provide the software, and it is Creative's duty to handle everything later and asked me to talk to you. The email support page do not have the option of support for this software, so I selected some other product but sent my problem.
    It would be very nice to know if there exists a solution to this problem, and how should I approach it. It has only been 20 days since I bought this software. Thank you!

    Finally, I got a reply from the email team, and they sought some further information, which I duly provided. Then, they provided me with a new CD Key. But here is the thing, they say after 3 times of re-installing the software, I will have to pay for it. What?Why would I pay for something which I bought, again and again? The whole world knows about Windows Vista, how incompatible it is with more than 80% of the software, and it will be the same till SP is released. I have since this Sunday gone have re-installed vista 4 times, once due to the fact that AHCI in the BIOS was not enabled by default, and I had to re-do the installation, then it was SATA drivers not presentonthe Vists disk, then the nVidia drivers had problem with Vista and it crippled it and won't go and then the Windows Media Player , quite clearly still not fully functionable, made my system bust. And I can say that it will happen again, so why do I have to pay some part of the software's price again? I am not using it on any other machine, and that is checked by it's CRC checker anyways, I am not using it for any business project, which shouldn't be a problem even if I did, as I own it. If any of you guys have an answer to this, please let me know.
    Thank you, and have a very nice day all!

  • PLEASE HELP: installing my Soundblaster Audigy LS-soundcard with the latest hardware(bundle)drive

    Problem:
    I have a Soundblaster Audigy LS Soundcard in one of my PCI slots (I already tried the other slot with the same result). I run Windows XP professional SP2.
    When I install the hardwaredriver-bundle version: Sound Blaster Audigy LS .04.0055, I have no problem, but when I install version .0.4.077 (in this example: or I install version 055 or I install version 077), I have the following problem: (through Control Panel) in system properties/hardware/device manager, I find PCI Device listed in " other devices " with a black exclamationmark in a yellow circle, while the SB Audigy LS is listed in the group " sound, video and game controllers ". The soundcard works, which is great but why is the exclamationmark showing? I already tried a different PCI slot, IRQ assignement in BIOS, but is still shows. The strange thing is, if I install first version 055 and then version 077, the problem is gone. A new problem that occurs if I do so, is that the PC hangs when starting Windows (but I'm not sure if that has to do with the fact that I install version MediaSource 5 Player-Organizer 5.20.23 over version 5.0.38, just to keep the MediaSourceGo! Toolbar (because it's no longer part of the softwarebundle version 20.23 - which has been confirmed by the support of Creative), the same with version of CD Burner Plugin 5.0.44 over 5.0.3 because it's not really clear on the website, if you need the previous version or if it's a full "update"). Please URGENT (with detailed info on every explained problem/issue - so I can try to resolve it) help.
    Thanx,
    Oli4

  • Soundblaster audigy platinum jack panel compatibility with audigy 2 or audigy 2

    Can I use a Soundblaster audigy platinum dri've (the front case jack panel) with an audigy 2 or audigy 2 zs sound card? Is it compatible? This is so I don't have to by a platinum version of the audigy 2 or audigy 2zs and spend the money on another dri've panel just to upgrade the sound card.

    As both the Audigy and Audigy 2 lines report they are compatible with WinXP, is there any reason I wouldn't be able to use my Audigy Platinum system I bought in 200 with a suped up new Dell Dimention desktop system I just bought? I guess the question behind the question is, what's the difference between the Audigy and Audigy 2 besides just the parts not being compatible with each other and the true bit thing fixed? Thanks!

  • Z68A-GD65 (G3) - Motherboard's not booting with a PCI Soundblaster Audigy 2.

    Hi everybody, as thread title says I've got some trouble with my motherboard, Z68A-GD65 (G3) and a Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS that a friend of mine gave to me. I gave a try in both PCI slots avaiable on the motherboard but as i place the SB in PCI slot 1 or PCI slot 2 the system do not boot up. As soon as i take it off, the system works great as usual.
    Of course i disabled the onboard audio to avoid resource sharing between the two. This is the only hint i had reading around on MSI trobleshootin.
    The only other parameter i can change regarding PCI is latency in the BIOS. I found to be 32 cycle by default and i did not modified it.
    The Audigy works flawlessly on another Intel P45 Board from a different brand and with the same video card in the PCI-E Slot. Of course Cpu end Ram ar different. When i did the try i disconnected everything unnecessary for the boot process.
    Any hint would be very appreciated.
    Thanks, Daniele.

    As i read on manual, the PCI setting into the bios is not something can cause instability:
    PCI Subsystem Settings
    Press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu.
    PCI Latency Timer
    This item controls how long each PCI device can hold the bus before another
    takes over. When set to higher values, every PCI device can conduct transactions
    for a longer time and thus improve the effective PCI bandwidth. For better PCI
    performance, you should set the item to higher values.

  • Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS - Vista - speaker calibration etc

    Hi,
    I've searched but I can't find an obvious answer to what I suspect is a common question.
    I've got an Audigy 2 ZS Pro which I've just installed using the drivers from the site. It's working ok but there is no applciation for set up of the speakers in a room - as there was in the original CD that I used with XP.
    Can anyone help? Or am I just imagining that a utility did exist when I last installed this on an XP machine?
    Thanks

    JRe: Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum - Speaker issues not covered by FAQs0 I'm afriad that the CMSS3D option did not work? ? I still cannot get any speakers to play out of the rear of the soundcard.
    As I said before, the goal is to try to get sound to play out of both the headset and the speakers attached to the rear of the soundcard simuntaneously.
    The headset is plugged into one of those devices in the front that is in a 5 & /4" bay that has the individual knobs for adjusting volume for the headset and outbound levels for the microphone.
    The speakers are plugged into the back of the soundcard and do not play any sound in any of the sockets, starting from the firewire port and counting 3 over.
    Any suggestions? I? thought it might have something to do with the setting of the speakers from control panel - > Sounds and Audio Devices -> Advanced and picking the right choice there. No luck however. Same for the Creative Speaker Settings as well.
    I'm at wits end and I'd be very thankful to whoever can resolve this for me. =)

  • Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS - static no

    Hi,
    I have a Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS soundcard in my Dell Dimension 4700 computer. Recently I started getting a lot of static - like rice crispies crackling.
    It would go away sometimes after powering down, but come back after a few hours. After reading some of the posts here I tried moving the card further away from the video card. This seems to allow me to run longer without the static - a few days was my last try. But the static did come back and I had to power down to get rid of it. Now I am static free for several hours, but I think it will be back. I can't move the card any further away now - it is in the last slot. I'd appreciate any feedback on ways to fix my problem and what exactly my problem is. I don't really understand what is causing the static. Thanks in advance,Steve

    I have the same card -- and the same problem -- in my Dell XPS Gen 3 system.
    Two weeks ago, I started getting constant static though my speakers. I didn't know what the source of the problem was and, since I have a year left on my warranty, I called Dell tech support. I subsequently embarked on a two-week troubleshooting nightmare which involved all sorts of fun stuff including:
    A system restore (rolling everything back to factory settings and having to reinstall everything)which did not solve the problem
    Determination that I had faulty speakers (which turned out not to be the case after the speakers were replace with brand new ones)
    Complete reformatting of my hard dri've and a full reinstall of the operating system (Windows XP Professional (turns out the XP professional disk I got with my computer actually contained XP Home, so I am looking forward to another round of reinstalling the OS once Dell ships me the proper software). The reinstall did not solve the problem.
    The Dell people finally had me relocate my computer and 6-piece speaker system to another room (to see if an electrical source was causing the static). Static was still there.
    They finally determined that the problem was in the Creative sound card, even though their diagnostics gave it a clean bill of health. My guess is that one of the input jacks developed a bad connection with the card after 2 years of use.
    I have not yet received the replacement sound card. I'm crossing my fingers that when the new one arri'ves, the static problem will disappear.
    So if you work through Dell tech support, do yourself a favor and cite my problem. It may save you hours and hours and hours of frustrating troubleshooting.
    To be fair, I have to say that the various Dell tech reps I worked with were very thorough, polite, and accommodating. They did things by the book, which is really the only way to approach a mystery problem like the one I'm having.
    The downside is, during the past two weeks, I've spent more time trying to get my computer back in shape than I've spent working (I'm self-employed). But it was also a learning experience and I now know a lot more about computers than I did before.
    I hope you get your sound card problem solved quickly with less pain and suffering than I went though.

  • Connecting Soundblaster Audigy 2 to 2 speaker syste

    Hi all,
    I am using a Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS. My PC is connected to a 7. Creative THX system.
    That is working pretty fine.
    I also have my LCD TV connected to my PC as secondary display and I've got a Teufel 5. system which I want to connect to the audigy.
    Reason: I want to watch movies played on my PC on my normal television. I could of course connect the audigy to the Teufel system, BUT this would mean switching cables all the time (from PC 7. to TV 5.).
    Is there some kind of high quality switch with which I could save this reconnecting of cables all the time?
    Thanks a lot in advance.
    and kind regards
    Sven

    Hello all,
    I am having a similar issue. I would like to connect my Audigy 2ZS to a Sony Reciever (STR DE-898) preferably via the digital out. The sound card and reciever are 25 feet apart.
    I have read that the digital out on the Audigy 2ZS is specifically for creative lab speakers, and that if you connect it to a normal reciever that it may damage the reciever is this true?
    Second, the other option that I have is to buy the 7. adaptor and connect RCA extension cables to the reciever.
    The last option is to connect it to the regular headphone jack out, and use an extension cable to connect to the reciever (This is what I am currently using), but the sound quality is terrible.
    Please help, I read the recent post on digital out ,which helped some, but still the question remains... if you connect the digital out on the Audigy 2ZS to a Sony receiver will this damage the receiver?Message Edited by asharabi98 on 05-27-2006 0:38 AMMessage Edited by asharabi98 on 05-27-2006 0:39 AM

  • Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum - Speaker issues not covered by FAQs

    FSoundblaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum - Speaker issues not covered by FAQs? ?
    Greetings..
    Running into a bit of a issue here I can't seem to fix. I've gone through the troubleshooting guides and FAQs already and they aren't resolving the issue.
    My normal setup is a couple of desktop speakers plugged to the rear of the card through the standard ports (non-digital) and a headset with mic plugged to the device in front that includes volume controls for both mic and speakers.
    I've just did a complete reinstall of Windows XP (32 bit) including everything up through SP3 and a reinstall of the drivers and associated software applications for the card as well.
    The problem I am having is that I can no longer make the rear speakers (desktop speakers) play when plugged in. The 2 headset speakers still play just fine that are plugged in the front however.
    What should I do to resolve this issue so that I can have both the desktop speakers and headset speakers both playing? I'm fairly sure I'm just missing a setting somewhere but for the life of me I can't figure where to fix this.
    Thank you,
    Culann HS
