SPDIF passthrough with Audigy SE and Digital I/O Car

Does anyone have this working or know if its possible with Vista 32bit's?Comparing my pc (built-in soundcard) with my new PC that has the Audigy, it looks like there are some tabs missing in Control Panel in the Playback->Digital Output Device screen, but I'm not sure if thats relevant or not. Maybe its possible to set SPDIF passthrough somewhere else?

Ok, well...can anyone tell me, for certain, which cards work with SPDIF passthrough in Vista? I really need this working, and if I have to buy another card, that would suck, but I need it for my htpc.

  • Audigy 4 and digital NAD L70 surround system - No surround?

    Hi guys and girls.
    I have a fine Audigy 4 sound card and an even more fine NAD L70 A/V surround system (DVD player and mid-powered surround amplifier - The baby brother of this one: http://www.nadelectronics.com/av_rec...73_framset.htm ).
    I have 4 speakers connected to the L70, 2 front and 2 rear.
    My problem is, that I cannot get any sound out of the rear speakers, when testing e.g. the Creative Speaker Calibrator.
    I've connected the computer to the L70 via the Digital Out on the Audigy 4 and the Digital Coaxial In on the L70.
    I've set the Input Selector to Cable/Sat.
    I've set the Speaker Configuration to
    - Front: Large
    - Center: None
    - Surr: Large
    - Sub: None
    I've set the Creative Speaker Settings to "4/4.1 Speakers".
    Where am I doing wrong? Why is it so hard to set up to work correctly?
    And why cant I find a "Digital Out Only" button as with my old SB Live! 5.1
    I've tried several (all?) possible combinations on the computer side and on the amplifier side, with no help.
    I can get music from the computer to go to all speakers by switching between the surround modes on the L70.
    Has anyone tried anything like this?
    Very best regards

    Lex,
    The information I gave Felix2 is not "horrible" or wrong, they are the truth. There is no need to start attacking again, if you are not clear on the information I gave in his thread, ask for more clarification, but do not attack.
    If you are having problems getting it set up, it's best to provide some detail on what settings you have changed, how everything is configured, and someone will probably be able to help you.
    The start of your post isn't very clear, do you have a standard Audigy 4 or an Audigy 4 Pro? The Audigy 4 Pro does have an optical output on the external dri'vebay, the standard Audigy 4 (just a card) does not have an optical output. You would need to connect through a coaxial input (minijack to RCA, then RCA-RCA).

  • Multiple Issues with HTC 8X and Verizon Doesn't Care

    I have had this phone for three months and had this issue the whole time.  Searched Verizon and Windows forums and found the same thing.  Only Verizon HTC 8X having this issue.  On top of that I am now having hardware issues.  Phone SIM not showing up as connected and have to restart or re-seat the SIM.  Battery life has gone down drastically.  Overnight charge gets me 11 hours tops without using my Data plan with WIFI off and other major apps closed out.  Shouldn't have to do that to utilize features on a smart phone.  As soon as I begin using my data plan the 11 hours is cut in half.  Not to mention if I use the phone for GPS navigation it gets drained in 30 minutes to and hour.  Then the software is now freezing.  Either freezes completly and have to restart or applications i try to open, stall and then go  back to the start menu.  I have to then power off the phone which freezes and 15 minutes later powers off.  3 months into the phones contract.  Ridiculous.  Bought from Letstalk.com and they told me I am SOL.  14 days for return and 30 for exchange.  Go see HTC.  HTC says i'm SOL.  Go to Verizon and get a new SIM.  Factory Reset the device as  well.  If that doesn't help, ship it to us and we will repair.  Are you kidding.  I am a consultant for a major merger and acquisition company that deals with infrastructure practices all day.  Send you my phone for repair on a 3 month old phone.  Are you kidding me.  Finally talked to Verizon.  They are not consciously aware of the HTC 8x missed call three beep scenario when it has been on there forums since December of this year.  With all my issues they told me I'm SOL.  I don't want to send it in for repair.  That is ridiculous.  What will that solve.  A couple of the issues.  What about the three beep issue the has plagued me for months. A refurbished of a different model from two years ago, no thanks.  I received a new phone three months ago.  So you wanna make it my fault and tell me here take an iphone 4 from two years ago from 300 dollars.  I am furious with this and want to proceed with making sure this lack of decent service for an issue like this is resolved and others don't have to face this type of treatment.  I paid good money for a smartphone with reliable service.  So far i'm being told to bend over and take it from everyone.  I feel that the three beep issue alone is a breach of the contract I have with Verizon and I should be able to constitute that right and terminate this disease.

    Hello,
    I received my new "reconditioned" phone to replace my 6 month old Droid 4.
    The replacement phone only holds a charge for 6 hours or so, with minimal
    use (no internet).
    I am VERY unhappy. I left a message with the store employee who helped me
    activate the replacement
    phone, but have not heard back. This is really disappointing. I paid a lot
    of money AND signed an additional
    2 year contract in order to purchase my Droid 4. Now I am stuck with a piece
    of junk phone as is my other
    employee who has a replaced Droid 4 as well. The store even told me they had
    "issues" with this model (battery completely died on my phone 619-XXX-XXXX
    as well as on 760-XXX-XXXX).
    We concluded that when both our Droid 4 phones died within a couple of
    months of each other.
    AT the very least, we should have our phones replaced with new, so they can
    at least hold a charge and be used for
    our business as the purpose they were purchased  for.
    I would think making this right, since this is quite obviously NOT our fault
    would be clear if you expect to retain customers.

  • Digital Connection with Audigy 4 and DTS5

    Hallo Everybody
    I have the same Problem with the nice man in this post. (Felix2)
    http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=soundblaster&message.id=46632&vie w=by_date_ascending&page=
    Exactly same problems! I emaild the Support and they replied me just trash.
    So my base problem and thats in the linked thread above is to get a standard audigy 4 not a pro! optical connected to the dts 5500 er Station.
    Please do not tell something of 5channel sound and ac3 and ac3 and ac3 its useless.
    Please do not ask me about my system config, all works fine, the audigy4 works fine, my dts works fine and the speaker too. (Ive testet it with the 3 pole minijack connecters of my audigy 4).
    So all works, but the opticalDigital connection not. (And i dont want to get 5. sound, i just want to get some sound, at the moment no sound comes out)
    se give a statement why optical/digital connections not work on your products.
    -Please give a statement why this is that difficult/confused to connect.
    And a big bravo to Felix2. I wouldn't stay that cool like you if I get some horrible and wrong answers, especially of a "professional". Maybe you have a solution do get the DTS 5500 and audigy 4 get optical connected?

  • No rear speaker sound with Audigy 4 and Vista x64

    I recently upgraded to Vista x64. I downloaded the 6.0..24 driver for x64. I also loaded MediaSource for x64. I am using analog 5. surround speakers from Dell. This setup works fine when I boot into XP pro (with the XP drivers), but I only get front, center and Sub in Vista x64. Does anyone have any ideas for this?

    Not sure what to tell you, hopefully someone will be able to help. One curious thing though is that according to my Sound properties in Control Panel SPDIF is working on my Audigy 4,

    unfortunately I don't have anything that uses SPDIF to be able to test it.
    Also have you tried installing the X-Fi drivers yet? Download, extract with Winrar (or whatever you use) and navigate to the Drivers sub-folder and run the Setup.exe there.

  • No sound with Audigy 1 and Vista Ultim

    Ok.. so I know you cannot use the SPDIF output on the x64 version... so I installed the reg x86 version and I still cannot get the sound to work on my Audigy with my old DTT2500 5. creative speakers..... Is there some setting that I am missing?... While playing an MP3 I am able to see the green bar move up and down on both the Speaker output and SPDIF output but neither of them produce and sound... speaker test works perfect as does my normal XP boot.. please help.. thanks in advance.

  • Audigy Value and Digital Out probl

    I read the faq.
    I have the Audigy Value card with the digital I/O mini-jack. I tried using a standard optical cable with an adapter mini-jack "cap" to pop on one end to plug into the sound card, and the other end into my digital in on my stereo. I still can't get any sound, is there some setting I am missing.
    I pop in my Hercules sound card that has a normal type optical out and everything works fine without me messing with it, so I know it isn't the stereo input.

    Fuzzylogic,
    These articles should help explain what is going on:

  • Problem with Audigy 2ZS and Logitech z5500 speakers

    Hi, all. I've had my Audigy 2ZS for a while, and I've been using Creative 4. speakers. I just got the logitech z5500 5. speakers, and I've been trying to get them to work properly with my soundcard, but it's giving me headaches.
    The setup: I'm using the 3 direct inputs to go from the sound card to the speakers, so all the various digital issues I've read about *shouldn't* be issues for me.
    The problem: When I do my a sound test using the Speaker Settings controller, my rear speakers are reversed, and one of them doesn't play at all! I've confirmed that all my speakers work, and I've used the diagnostic tools that come with the speakers to make sure that the speakers themselves are set up and working correctly.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm really frustrated...this seems like it's either a card or software issue, but I'm just not certain how to fix it.
    Thanks!

    I had the same problem with two different X-Fi extreme music cards. I fixed it by running the speaker test for individual speakers and changin the speaker settings ad nauseum. 'tis an issue with the jack sensing on the drivers.
    If you unplug all the connectors and plug them back in, you'll find that some other channel gets screwed up.

  • "A How-To" on the steps to FIX the Problem of NO Sound Card DETECTION with AUDIGY 2 and Win XP

    Note#: When restarting the PC each time, shut off the main power switch on the Power Supply then back on.
    Note#2: You will need the Windows XP CD WITH the SP2 on it or have the download SP2 Install file from MS on your PC. I have it on CD.
    . Remove the sound Card
    2. Use the Removal/Un-installation Procedures for the drivers in Knowledge Base Under Windows XP Step by step. Restart to get all the files deleted in the Creative folder if necessary.
    Here is the (Solution ID#) for the Uninstallaion found in the Creative.com Knowledge Base: SID72 "How to uninstall Sound Blaster drivers and applications?"
    Alternati'vely, Click on the Sound Blaster Picture Box under the Knowledge Base Main Search Page and the article should be in the resulting list.
    3. Use the DCProSetup_.exe from http://files.trunetworks.com/utilities/
    Use it carefully Selecting [Creative] then Check the box for Muntiple Cleaning Filters, and remove the Creative Audio Drivers by Clicking on Start.
    4. Go into the Registry by Typing Regedit in the Start>Run.. Menu
    Navigate and remove the Entry for CTCMSGo.exe, it is running in the back ground otherwise and i believe it interrupts the re-installation of MediaSource Files.
    HKEY_CURRENT USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
    The file link/tag, it will be on the right half of the screen, Delete it. CTCMSGo.exe=(Creative Technologies Media Source Go)
    5. Restart the PC, dont forget to switch Power Supply to off while powered down and on before powering back up.
    6.Go to the Win XP SP2 CD or the file downloaded, select re-install but choose UPDATE, not New Installation. Let the Install run and update your pc, this procedure has no data loss or settings changes in Windows.
    7. Restart PC
    8. Turn off PC and install the Audigy 2 Card. Then turn on the PC. At this point you might get a plxcore.plx Error of file missing. Not to worry.. copy the file from within the Creative Drivers CD and paste it into the Creative Folder In C:\Program Files\Creative
    The Knowledge base Article on the steps is: SID287 "Error: Program could not load because Plxcore.plx cannot be found"
    9. Power up and see if you get PCI Device, and Audio Controller Detetion. If you dont then do the following:
    A) Remove the Sound Card and Re-install the Win XP SP2 Update a number of times ( I did this about 5 times until detection) Each time restart and install the Sound Card into any of the empty PCI Ports until detection.
    If that does not work after a number of times try the following:
    B)Power off and switch the PCI slot of the Sound Card (to all the PCI slots if necessary with complete power off each time) Without Re-installing XP SP2 Update.
    0. After you get Detection, The Windows Auto Installer for Drivers will pop up..select Find Drivers Automatically, then Install then install the drivers it finds. It will put in some basic Audigy Drivers from the CD or online i'm not sure where it gets them from. Keep your Driver CD in the CD Dri've.
    .Restart the PC, then install the Drivers and Media Source Files from the CD (it may not all get installed and may give an error and you have to shut down and re-install the drivers and Media Source over again and over again so it fills in the gap of missing files/drivers until it all works without deleting the previously installed parts).
    2. Only install this update from the File/ Downloads Section on the Creative website: EAX4DRV_AUDIGY2__84_50.exe Dated 29 July 04. The new beta one that was released is what started all my troubles, so plz i urge you to wait for it to be official.. unless you really want to test it out at your risk.
    And there you have it.. in 8 Hours and some ideas from friends and relati'ves concerning detection problems of other hard ware they have had i decided to play Roulette all night and this combo works. I had to play Roulette switching the PCI slots (5 of them), and then towards the end play Roulette with the Creative Driver CD install... until they all work perfectly. WHEW!!!
    Notice: I hope if you are really ticked off at having no sounds and want to try this at your own risk and responsiblity go ahead, and I wish you luck. None of the proedures are too out of the ordinary. I dont know if it will work for you but it worked for me and maybe it will possibly for other similar Sound Cards as well.. like ZS or Li've! etc. with similar problems. Happy Sound Blasting!!!

  • Problem with Audigy 4 and Asus m

    I own an Asus A8V motherboard, and just purchased the audigy 4 non-pro. While playing the game F.E.A.R. (main reason I bought the soundcard) with acceleration to the max, I will receive a BSOD (blue screen of death) with the 0x0000007F error code. When I turn the acceleration down 2 notches ( above the lowest) I am able to play the game without getting a bluescreen, but I will hear sounds a second or 2 after an event so this is a big problem, and have screeching problems on some ma

    I've heard that some Asus mobo's and the newer Creative cards have issues, any way to fix? I'm using the latest drivers for both my mobo and my sound card.

    Please can someone help?

  • Problems with Audigy Platinum and Firew

    Hi,
    I've been running my Soundblaster Audigy Platinum on my Win2k-System for some years and have just encountered some weird problems with the Firewire-Connector. When I connect an external DVD-Burner everything works fine. But when I connected an external harddisc for the first time recently, the system completely flipped and rebootet without any messages. When I connected the dri've via USB it wasn't recognized automatically (what it should have after the manual) but after installing the Drivers on the Disc. Afterwards also the Firewire-connect was possible, the dri've was recognized and appeared in the Explorer. So far so good.
    But now, everytime I try to copy files larger than some Megabyte the dri've stops copying and I get an error message. Then the dri've disappears in the explorer. When I connect the dri've to my Laptop (XP Pro System) everything works fine. I already tried to google the problem and found some users with the same problem, unfortunately no answers to their posts. Is there someone who can help me (us)?
    By the way, I already tried to re-install the drivers for the audigy...

    hi kakarocht, tks for help me.
    My mobo is new, i buy all the config recently.
    i'm searching in the forum, and found this topic https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=85631.0
    my HD SATA is the same of this, i will try to remove it, and then tell here for you.
    sorry for my english again.

  • Problem with Aperture 2 and Digital Camera Raw Compatability update 3.1

    Has anyone using Aperture 2 experienced problems with the Digital Camera Raw Compatability update 3.1. It may be purely coincidence but, since downloading this on March 3, I get the dreaded red screen and unsupported image format on my previously downloaded and edited RAW photos. I use a Pentax k-7 with which, once set up, I have had no problems until now!
    Please - any help would be very gratefully received

    That probably explains why any checks that your computer did to see if the Camera Raw update was okay to apply didn't stop it. You should probably contact Apple and explain that they broke something that was working fine previously.
    A few people have reported backing off Camera Raw 3.1 and going back to Camera Raw 3.0 for now. This note is one of the ones I've found describing how to do that, if you wish to try that. Or, you could head down the path Apple means to lead you on and upgrade to Aperture 3.

  • Error with Audigy SE and ps2 keybo

    Recently my G5 (usb) keyboard broke and I was forced to use a keyboard that I got from my older computer.
    However whenever I press a key the sound from the Audigy SE stops completely for about a fourth of a sec. This happens EVERYTIME I press a key, whether its in a game or just typng a message to a forum.
    If I hold down a key the sound stops until the key is unpressed. I have a A7N8X2.0 motherboard and this happens with all ps2 keyboards. Is there a possible fix to this or do I have to rush and buy a new G5 again?

    Can no one help me?
    Could it be something with my motherboards use of ps2 related items or something? I notice
    whenever I press a key my cpu usage jumps to about half or higher.

  • Big Problems with Audigy 4 and Vista 64

    Hi there,?I got the Audigy 4 running under Vista 64 Bit. The onboard Soundmax, connected to the speakers in my?Monitor?is acti've, too. The Audigy is connected to a 5. System from Teufel. With XP64 all ist working fine: The systemsounds come out of the monitorspeakers and the sound generated by mediaplayer etc. come from the 5. Sytem.Under Vista it is not possible to get a fine sound from the 5. System - if something is working, then only the satellites are working. The subwoofer is quiet. Also the sound from the 5. system is very bad, with a lot of breaks and so on. What?s this? How can I resolve this problem?By XP64 I have the possibility to change settings in Mediasoucecenter ... here I got nothing... rgds?McInternet?

    I'm running the Audigy 4 with Vista 64-bit and it's working okay for me. It's not great - and it's pretty substantially crippled, but I'm getting sound. I would love to have proper EAX support and just some simple bass and treble controls, but it is working for me (using the March 9th drivers).

  • Using asio4all with audigy 4 and i need to reduce to 44khz, tha

    greetings! i'm using adobe audition 2 with an audigy 4 soundcard. i have to a 2.53ghz intel celron, 52mb of ram, edirol um- usb midi interface windows xp sp2, 2 hard dri'ves with 300gb.
    My problem is when recording in Audition 2, i'll record say a piano and track 2 and when i click play the piano plays not even a second offbeat with the drums. it's barely off beat but it is off time. Also say with track 2 armed i hear a loud echo (no efx are running) so i press mute to get rid of the echo when recording----by the way when i click play it doesn't record the echo. After making a post on auditions forums the guy told me the problem isn't what i assumed it was (latency) he says the problem appears to be i need to adjust my settings to 44. but another guy said Audigy doesn't allow anything except 48khz? is there anyway around this? thanks
    here r the current settings.
    Asio Buffer size 52 samples
    latency compensation 32 samples in and out
    use hardware buffer is not checked
    resample 44 to 48khz
