Subwoofer not working with Audigy

Unlike most posters to this forum, I have only a 2. speaker setup connected to my 2ZS. I recently upgraded to Vista Ultimate (32-bit). The beta drivers for my sound card are working ok, in that I can get sound (with reasonable quality), but I'm not sure if the subwoofer is working. The Vista control panel only offers 2.0, not 2. sound. Is there anything special I need to do to make the subwoofer work?

I need help.. anyone got an Idea?

  • Subwoofer not working with THX cons

    Ok here's my problems,
    When I updated for the last drivers, my subwoofer stopped working when I calibrate my speaker. When I don't use this options, I can have a good sound. but when I turned in on I loose all my base. So when I play games, I don't have any loud sound on. It's becomming anoying. I've tried to uninstall and install it for 6 times, and have error from plvcore.plx or something like that, and got throught it. But now event if I uninstall physically the card. there's no way out I don't have any loudness when Calibrate the speaker.
    I ran a speaker test from the speaker options and it worked (I didn't use my computer that test)
    when I use my computer as soon as I have my calibrate settings I don't have my subwoofer working.
    It's not the EAX redirection 'cause I used it and didn't notice a change when I jplay Games (CS) only when I listen to music.
    I have a Audigy 2 zs Platinum with a Z-5500 from logitech

  • External subwoofer not working with Satellite C55t-A5222

    When I plug in an external speaker system into my laptop, the speakers work, but the subwoofer does not. I have tried two different speaker systems and have the same problem. I know the subwoofer works, because when I connect an ipod or iphone to the speakers through bluetooth, the sound is great. How can I get the same sound when the speakers are connected directly to my Satellite C55t-A5222 laptop? I have verified that I have the latest driver for my sound.

    I was having the same problem, so I called Customer Service. The Tech diagnosed the problem with the Realtek HD Audio Manager. I had upgraded to Windows 8.1 from 8.0 so some of the drivers and devices my not have installed correctly, he guessed.
    He went Control Panel > Hardware and Sound
    Under Devices and Printers he selected Device Manager>Sound, video and game conroller>
    He seleced Realtek High Definition Audio
    He went to the Driver Tab and selected 'Uninstall"
    He uninstalled the Realtek Device and rebooted my laptop.
    After the Reboot, he went back to Control Panel>Hardware and Sound  and went all the way at the bottom selected "Realtek HD  Audio Manager. I don't recall if it was there before, but I assumed it wasn't since he was not able to find it previously.
    The then opened up the Realtek HD Audio Manager and selected  DTS Tab and clicked the 'Launch' Button. He then selected 'External Speakers and 'Viola' My External Cyber Acoustics CA-3602 2.1 Speakers including the Sub Woofer were 'shaking' my office again!  YEAH!!
    He said that each time I want to use the External Speakers and Headset I might have to select it in the Realteck HD Audio Manager if it is not working!    THANKS "SAM" (my Toshiba Tech Guy's psuedonym)
    Hope this helps you guys

  • Prey: EAX not working with Audigy 2

    I can't play Prey (the game, not the demo) with EAX enabled, with my Audigy 2 ZS.
    At the Audio options Menu it says I need to update OpenAL, but I have already updated to last version available: .9.
    <BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr>
    OpenAL Version .9.
    The OpenAL Installer for Windows will install the OpenAL . library, enabling support for core OpenAL operations as well as extensions such as EAX and EFX. The installer supports both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows.
    Version note -- Installs OpenAL32.dll version 6.4.357.3 and wrap_oal.dll version 2.0.8.0.
    [/quote]
    On all other games (FEAR, FarCry, Half-Life 2, etc. ...all last games) EAX is working fine.
    -Audigy 2 ZS using SBA2_PCDrvBeta_LB_2_08_0002 drivers
    ?should I use last SBAX_LB_2_08_0004 instead?
    -Windows 2000 SP4, all last updates-AMD Athlon XP 2700+-ASUS A7X8X-E Deluxe BIOS 03, last drivers-Kingston 52x2MB PC2700 (333)-XFX GeForce 7800 GS Extreme 256MB FW 9.3

    -4 IDE Hard Dri'ves 7200 rpm 440 GB total-Thermaltake Butterfly 480W-Viewsonic G73f CRT-TRENDnet TEW-43BRP wireless router

    <Comfirmed: the solution is to install last official drivers: SBAX_LB_2_08_0004 and then be sure you still have the last OpenAL or reinstall it (I had to)
    I had install the Beta drivers instead of the last drivers cause they said they were specifically designed for games and I have the games installed in a separate partition, just for games, on a multiboot system
    why have they the Beta drivers at Creative downloads if the new official ones would be better?
    anyway, thanks folks

  • Microphone Not Working With Audigy Platinum

    I used creative surround mixer to enable Mic2 on the external device for my Audigy Platinum Ex. I tested it using sound recorder and everything works fine. However, everytime I try to play a game (BF2, CS) it doesn't work, and when I go back into surround mixer Mic2 is gone and it goes back to Microphone.
    This keeps happened even though I'm putting Mic2 where it belongs on the right side. When I checked windows volume it is still located there under playback and recording. But for some reason it keeps disappearing in creative surround mixer. Anyone have any suggestions?Message Edited by amoretto on 2-08-2005 02:28 AM

    amoretto,
    That's because some games do not support secondary mic in port. Those games would usually always default audio mixer setting back to what it does/can support. Games like CounterStrike have some workaround tweak that you can find here in their forum but I'm afraid BF2 does not have a similar tweak. You can check up EA support page for BF2.

  • Sblive not working with Cool n'Quiet, how about Audigy

    My SBli've will not work with Cool n'Quiet enabled. I tried moving it from slot to slot, I fumbled with the Bios (and every change made matters worse), memory is ok (at least according to memtest and prime95), kx drivers won't help either (but sound a lot nicer).
    Well, what gives, the card is a little over seven years old and has earned a retirement.
    I'm thinking about replacing it with an Audigy 4 (not pro) und would be very happy if someone could write about her or his experience with the card, esp. with Cool n'Quiet enabled.
    Btw. what kind of card is it anyway? Does it use a 0k2-Chip?
    thanks
    My System:
    AMD X2 3800
    Asus A8V (Via KT800pro, AGP)
    Nvidia 6600GT (AGP)
    024 Mbyte RAM (conservati've timing)

    I cant promize anything, but it should work. X-FI and Audigy 2 work just fine with C&Q enabled. So Audigy 4 should work fine too.

  • X-Fi Audio - Subwoofer NOT working in Vista 32-bit Ultimate!

    <X-Fi Audio - Subwoofer NOT working in Vista 32-bit Ultimate!I I have WIndows Vista 32-bit Ultimate and Sound Blaster X-Fi Audio installed and with the factory drivers (I tried another set earlier and they did not work, so I reinstalled the original drivers which worked, at least partially). Until now I only listened to music using my headphones, but I tried today to plug-in my 5. Genius system (50W RMS) and everything works fine EXCEPT the subwoofer does not produce any sound at all!! The ONLY way to make it work is go to Control Panel -> Sound -> Speakers -> press Configure and then click the Test button in the dialog that appears (or click the subwoofer icon to make it produce a very nice bass sound - which I absolutely love, but it's the only way to make my subwoofer work!!!). Please guys, help me find out what the problem is. All help is much appreciated. Thank you!

    Thank you my friend,I have done as you have mentioned (made sure the DLL did not stay there when I rebooted before I installed your version), and now I have the version which you have built. However, I am still unable to hear the subwoofer I am so sad... even my default on-board card supports the 5. just great, and I love the sound of that, but I was hoping for something better from Creative - instead, all I got was a soundcard I can only use with my headphones at the moment because of a faulty driver...
    Did you enable Bass Redirection?
    Run Console Launcher, click on Speakers and Headphone -> choose 5. Speakers.
    Then click on Bass (Bass Management) and enable Bass Redirection.

  • 2 of 4 speakers and Subwoofer not working for Altec Lansing Lucasfilms THX Surround (circa 2003)

    I am attempting to connect my Altec Lansing Lucasfilm THX 5.1 sound system to my HP ENVY All-in-one. I think the original audio card for the sound system came on a Dell with Soundblaster. 
    I have connected the green audio to the jack in the back which only gets 2 of the 4 speakers working (even after configuring the speakers). The subwoofer is connected to the sub jack in the back panel as well and is not working at all. I realize that I am trying to have an ancient sound system work with my fancy new HP Envy. Am I asking too much??  I thought maybe a driver update might be needed. But in theory, if those jacks are available in the back it should work (she says optimistically).
    Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.

    Not a problem.  Thank you for the additional information.
    It sounds like you have the speakers connected correctly.  If there is only one connector for all of the speakers, it may be that you will only be able to use two of them.  However, I am not certain why the subwoofer isn't working.  Is it selected in the Control Panel / Sound?  I realize that you said the speakers are configured in the Control Panel, but is the subwoofer separate?
    I have an old (2001) Polk Audio set of speakers.  I have only been able to get two of them and the subwoofer to work with my new HP computer.  It sounds fine without the other two speakers.

  • SB Live Digital I/O Card work with Audigy 2

    Midi Help!
    I recently purchased a new machine from DELL that included the Audigy 2 ZS, and it came with no way to connect MID cables. Can I attach the Digital I/O Card from the SB Li've (I have 2 of them from previous purchases) or will I need to purchase a separate accessory to connect midi cables? Will the (joystick) cables from the SB Li've work with whatever I might have to purchase? Also, if I need to purchase ZS accessories, where's the URL that I can specifically buy the accessories to make the ZS work?
    Thanks to whomever can help me!

    wouldnt put 2 sound cards in but you could try attaching the sb li've dri've to card, it will either work or it ownt, it will not work with remote, but it may just work as an io panle for your mid etc..
    However if it was my hardware i would try as thats my right and my hardware i may break, so you would do this at your own risk.

    Dear All,
    We have a strange issue in the our application (Oracle form) in the one of our client machine.

    Java Plug-in version 1.6.0_31 .
    Please any info will help us lot.

    Thank you for the quick replies Michael Ferrante and HamidHelal.
    But since its occurring for some users (perticulary indian users) and some times. And also its occurring in production environment not in development environment.
    Even the java control panel is not working with mouse.
    For other country customers everything working fine.
    So its difficult for me to apply the patch with these uncertainties.
    Checking with fresh java installation and let you know the status.
    Thanks.
