Soundblaster Audigy SE static and low volume problems...

Well, after failed attempts at getting my onboard ich5 chipset to work (which turned out to be Alsa 1.0.10 and 1.0.11 as 1.0.9 worked fine with it.) I decided to get a new soundcard. I purchased a Soundblaster Audigy SE.
The card is detected, there are no errors, and I can actually hear sounds coming from every application that plays audio. The only problem is, there's a loud static over these sounds which makes the sounds barely audible. Loud static, low sound. I've tried several different options in alsamixer but it doesn't help the static. By the way, the only options in alsamixer are for IEC. There are no "Master" or "PCM" sliders. (Not sure if this is what these cards do or not.)
Is there anyone out there that has this card and has been successful with it? I'm definitely having no luck with the sound thing lately. If anyone has any information or experiences with it, let me know please. I've googled around but really found nothing that helps as far adjustments and whatnot.
NOTE: I have read of success with this card in some other distributions.

maybe you can set it manually with amixer.
amixer -h
probably something like:
amixer sset Master on
amixer sset PCM on
and to increase the volume:
amixer sset Master 30
amixer sset PCM 30
but it prolly don't work... Have you checked out the links at the bottom of: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/All … nd_at_once ?
Also i seem to be getting louder sound from the oss emulation kernel module for some reason... maybe you can up the audio in audacios or something for the oss sound and have it affect the whole system? that's just a shot in the dark..

Iphone 3gs Speaker Low Volume Problem.

I Have Iphone 3gs. When I Updated It To 6.1.3 The Speaker Low Volume Problem Starts. When Anybody Call us It Rings But When We Accept The Call The Low Voiume Problem Starts. So Please Help Me To Fix This Problem.

Nope. Can't say that it does. I think I have about 100 charge cycles on it and it still performs like near new. How long have you had your 3GS?

Soundblaster Audigy ZS 2 and teufel decoderstatio

I want to buy the teufel decoderstation 3 for my Surround-system Teufel Conzept E. I have the Soundblaster Audigy ZS 2. My Question: Does the Audigy 2 ZS work with the teufel decoderstation 3.
Here is the link for the decoderstation:

Here is the link for my Surround-System:
http://www.teufel.de/de/Multimedia/s_38.cfm
The Sites are in German.
thx.

It will work for DVDs or any other source which is pre-recorded in Dolby Digital/DTS. Games and stuff will work in stereo if you connect digitally via SPDIF ( coax/optical ).
I don't think it has 5. channel inputs. It appears to have a lot of stereo inputs for connecting different stereo souces as well as an optical and a coax input.

Soundblaster Audigy 2 EX and Time coded Vi

Hi there,
I use a sb Audigy 2 EX and the program Virtual DJ 4 and two turntables with Time coded VInyl.
The first turntable is connected to the line in port and the second turntable to line in 3.
Line works fine but I don't get a signal on line 3..
Is there a difference between the line in ports? (I am not using the Microphone input).
What could I do wrong?
Thanks for your thoughts.

Static and locking up problem...

I've had my 4 gig iPod Mini for over a couple months now, and tonight it started messing up. It was playing fine and then out of nowhere there was constant static and the controls starting locking up. It's pure static, and sometimes the controls lock up but most of the time it's a really long delay. Like, I scroll down or click on something and it takes a bit for it to follow through. I've restarted and reset numerous times and it still does it. I've even tried three different pairs of headphones, but nothing. Is it screwed or is there a fix?

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

Lenovo X220 and low volume [specially in Linux]

Hi everybody,
i've googled this issue and found it affects other users, but didn't find any solution.
Problem is the audio level of my Lenovo X220 is very low, in the sense that there must be zero noise in the room to be able to hear the sound. I found the same happens in Windows, but in that case there's a workaround using some setting from the Control Panel.
I am on Chakra-Linux (but I had the same problem in Opensuse) and use pulseaudio (but the same occurred even before i switched to it).
Any suggestion? Thanks!
Paolo

I use VLC media player, which allows me to boost the volume beyond the 100% listed level. I believe that when I was using an Xseries, I had pulseaudio installed at the same time as VLC.

SoundBlaster Audigy Value: Delay and echoing of sound output from head

I'm having problems with the sound output of my voice when chatting using a headset.. I can hear echoes and there are delays occasionally. I first thought the problem was with the headset, and so I changed it. However, the problem persists!
When I plugged my headset in my laptop instead of the desktop with the Audigy Value installed, I didn't encounter any problems at all with the sound. So I thought the problem is with the Audigy Value souncard.
What could be causing these problems?

You need set the ASIO latency through CT ASIO panel and not through Audition settings. ASIO Panel has only settings as milliseconds so if you select 10 or lower value your delay problems should be fixed.

Low Volume Problem

Since updating to 1.2 the maximum volume on my ipod seems much lower than before. I have the volume limit set to maximum and soundcheck turned off, but the maximum volume is definitely noticeably lower than before the update.I have tried resetting but this doesn't resolve this problem. Anyone else have this issue, and if so, any solutions?
Sony VAIO K115M Windows XP Service Pack 2

make sure if ur using itunes to have its volume control also set to max. otherwise it overrides it

When is the low volume problem going to be fixed? ZTE Open C Firefox OS 1.3

Listening to youtube videos on this phone is near impossible, they're barely audible. I've had to make another post about this cause the other one isn't easy to find. Also the volume could do with being a bit louder on media files. Would appreciate a fix for this problem.

Hi Syex,
There is a bug tracking the issue of volume on headphones and stereo-out on Firefox OS:
* [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=822874]
I would also suggest reaching out to the manufacturer directly to get this looked into, in case it's a device-specific issue.
Thanks,

1.1.3 firmware and low volume (European model)??

Anyone know what happened to the max volume for the iPod-part of the iPhone since 1.1.3? The volume is so low, the iPod is pretty much unusable.... Checked all max vol settings and stuff, it just got a LOT quieter... this *****. Anyone knows a way around this, or whether this is been worked on?
Thanks,
i.

Try a Reset first by pressing and holding the Home key and Sleep/Wake or On/Off key simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release ignoring the slide to turn off prompt when doing so. This does not affect any data or settings.
If no change try a Restore.

Headphone and speaker volume problem. Volume is not memorized.

I have the Helix i5 and the problem I'm having is that when I plug in my headphones, the volume does not automatically adjust. If my speakers are on full volume, so are my headphones when I plug them in. Please help me fix this. My Microsoft Surface never had such a ridiculous issue like this.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try.
Control Panel --> HW & Sound --> Realtek HD Audio Manager
On the top righthand side press "Device advanced settings"
Choose Multi-stream mode
For me this unlocked separate volume sliders for speakers and headphones

User home folders Upper and Lower case problem in FPN

Hi Sdn,
I am facing a wiered problem in FPN. I configured FPN between EP and BI portal.
EP is using UME as LDAP
BI portal is using UME as ABAP
configured KM folders on to EP using Webdav scenario
now when I try to save KM book marks, it is saving perfectly in EP
the problem is saving bookmarks in the userfolder with Uppercase like USER
the KM favorites iView with the path (/alias/userhome/<user.id>/favorites)is trying to look into the userfolder with lowercase like user and displaying nothing
plese help me in solving this for KM iView to ignorie case
Thanks!
Regards
Srinivas

Hi Simon,
I understand that this problem is because of UME as LDAP and ABAP .
I tried to create a KM Navigational iView for favorites folder /alias/userhome/<user.id>/favorites.
but here problem is I am not able to convert user.id to Ucase
As per your suggestion, it is not possible to create one KM navigational iView to peep into multiple folders
for this the solution might be in two ways. creating KM iView to ignore case and look into the user home folder
if so, How to make the iView to ignore case
second option is to configure BEx broadcaster to publish in USER.lower folder
is so, How to achieve this
being people started using FPN most frequently and moving BI to seperate Portal and use ABAP as ume.
users will start encounter this problem most often. SAP has to come out with solution for this

My volume button for higher volume(F12) is not working whereas mute and lower volume(F10 and F11) buttons are working, what should I do?

My volume button for higher volume is not working

I think there is a Windows bootcamp application that will recognize those keys. The bootcamp stuff is here: http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
I think it is called bootcamp assistant. Look here: http://www.mac-guides-and-solutions.com/boot-camp-assistant.html

Lock button and lower volume button not working.

Any advice if a button stops working? I don't know why either

Did you try resetting/rebooting the iPad by holding down on the lock and home buttons at the same time until the Apple Logo appears on the screen. I realize that involves using the lock/sleep button, but if it is a software issue, it might help. Give it a try.
Without knowing more about the problem, your next step might be resetting all settings and then restore the iOS software after that. If those fail to help, then a trip to an Apple Store should be the next step for you.
It could be a hardware issue and since both buttons are on the right side of the iPad, there might be some connection between the two buttons that is causing the problem.
