Surround Mixer miss

This is so insane. I have a Soundblaster Audigy 2 Platinum EX and I just reinstalled windows ... now I need Surround Mixer so that I can control it. Surround Mixer isn't part of the downloaded install files and Creative's site is so unbelievably crappy that I can't find it anywhere. The fact that it's not part of the install files is unbelievably crappy too. I paid $200 for this?
Does anyone know how I can download Surround Mixer back onto my computer? Thanks so much.

you can use the cd here

Sound Audigy 2.....Microphone option is not showing up in Surround Mixer!!!!

I just updated the Sound Card Driver and when I finished with it and restarted my computer. It reset all my settings in Surround Mixer. I got them back to where i had them but not I can't get my microphone option back. I can only get What U Hear. The drop down menu is missing the microphone option. How can I restore this?
What started this all was from getting a new Logitech G5 keyboard. My sound was all crackling and some things was repeating itself while playing World of Warcraft. So i was told to update the driver, which didn't help but now my Surround Mixer is giving me heck.

Vista? Control Panel -> Sound -> Recording (tab) and make sure only ! device is set as the default, this should resoter your ability to choose the mic in the audio [email protected]

What happened to the Audigy 4 software?!!?!?! (Surround Mix

Ok I just bought a 2nd Audigy 4 SE soundcard and I after installing the software I go to the Surround Mixer and treble/bass is greyed out. Speaker Calibration is missing... And everything looks like its been stripped!!! Where did all of this go? I'm so confused...

Audigy 2 ZS - Surround Mixer - REC setting greyed

Hi! I can't select my sound input device in the surround mixer anymore. Here is a picture:
<img alt="mixer" width="500" src="http://img95.imageshack.us/img95/09/mixeriq.jpg" height="302" title="mixer">
As you can see the slider is greyed out. My microphone works just fine, but I cannot adjust the volume anymore.
I'm using Windows XP, I recently installed Skype and TeamSpeak (checked both programs, the input settings are NOT on "automatic", so the Creative Surround Mixer should be where I adjust the input volume)
I can use the windows settings to select another recording device and adjusting the volume also works, but I want to use the creative mixer, this worked in the past and I want it back
Any ideas? Maybe I'm missing something important.

Hmm no but I reinstalled the latest driver (7 Jul 08)

Is that one bugged? Should I downgrade to the driver on the CD?

Installing surround mixer T

I just reinstalled XP. I have an Audigy 2 ZS. I downloaded the drivers and everything works fine except that I'm missing the Creative Labs tray icon with surround mixer, speaker settings...etc. I'm assuming it just wasnt included in the driver download. Where/how can I get this installed? Any help is appriciated.
By the way, the driver file I installed was:
Filename: SBAX_WEBUP_LB_2_08_0004.exe
Thanks

I have renewed my primary HD.
I have installed OS Windows XP Professional and reinstalled sound card drivers (everyone and up to date).
My sound card is (again) Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum.
I inquiry to test (Creative diagnostic, System in Control Panel, ecc ecc)....
every answer tell me that's all ?OK? but ...<only Wave Studio work fine!!!
I attempt a lot of solution but "control fader" show me only a red cross in tool bar, "surround mixer "don't march, ecc ecc

Install Surround Mixer separat

so I just downloaded and installed the latesat drivers for my Audigy 4 (SBAX_WBUP2_LB_2_09_006.exe), and I found that the tray icon (with the Speaker Settings, EAX Console, Surround Mixer and stuff) was missing. Apparently it's not bundled in the downloadable drivers
how can I get these back? I tried popping in the Driver/Apps disc and install every app separately, but it only gives me an error message (error -6003). If I choose "Install Audigy 4" from the Autoplay I guess it will also install the older drivers, and override the new ones?
The only thing I have now is the AudioConsole, which lacks some of the features I want (such as Bass Redirection)

Cirap,
No Custom tab? What did you see there? Did you at least see a Modify or Add tab? If you can see those, you can use that.

How To Restore Audigy Platinum ex Surround Mixer EAX Default Environments, e

Does anyone know how to restore the default Surround Mixer Environments (such as Cathedral, Ballroom, etc.), Advanced EQ, and Special Effects without doing a reinstall of all the Creative software?
Some unknown application on my system is somehow "deleting" those default items and none of them appear in the Surround Mixer. The Surround Mixer itself works, only the default EAX items are missing.
If I knew what files/links that information was being stored in I could make sure my backup includes those items. Having to go back and reinstall from the CD and then applying all the updates is getting to be a real nuisance, especially since I haven't determined yet what is causing the problem.

Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum ex

I had a similar problem with XP Home/Audigy Platinum Ext - some inputs on the Li've Dri've not showing up in Sonar 4, Li've Dri've MIDI ports not working at all. I had to reinstall the card from scratch three times before it all got back to normal (because I did not fully unistall the drivers !) Sorry, I don't know the cause of this problem, but in my case reinstallation cured it.
Good luck.

No longer able to select speaker type in Surround Mixer (Audigy Platinum Win XP P

Hi, all. I have an Audigy Platinum. Normally I have no issues using my 5. speakers with this card; however, today I noticed my sound was "tinny" and the reason is that the surround mixer is locked on Headphones. I cannot click the arrow to change it to 5. surround or anything else for that matter. I've gone into Control Panel and unchecked the mute other speakers when headphones are plugged in option, but that hasn't seemed to help. Any other ideas?Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply. That did the trick.

How do I get my old Surround Mixer recording sources back?

I recently had my computer repaired where I basically had a complete overhaul. In the process they installed a second soundcard (the one that went with the new motherboard) alongside my original Creative Sound Blaster Audigy card (Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum eX). Before, when I would record audio into my computer, I opened the Surround Mixer software and in the record pulldown menu it showed all of the inputs as they relate to my Audigy interface (SPDIF, Aux In 2, Line In 2, etc.). Now when I open the Surround Mixer software, I only get generic options such as Analog Mix, CD Digital, Microphone, etc. and therefore I can't get any outside audio into my computer.
I figured the computer?was defaulting to the?new sound card so I disabled the onboard audio in my BIOS and then installed the Creative Sound Blaster Series 2 Driver. I clicked on the driver and it said that it needed to uninstall another driver that was already there. The install went a little funny and it got hung up a couple of times. Then, I couldn't get Surround Mixer to work at all so I went to the Creative website and installed Software Auto Update. I downloaded and installed all the critical components?but that also went a little funny. It took about three tries and it didn't seem like it actually finished installing, but when I checked on Auto Update again, it said that I was up to date and that everything had installed. I noticed at the beginning that it installed a new version of Surround Mixer but when I opened it later, it still had those same generic options, not the the ones that match my external interface.
What do I need to do to get my original settings back?

>Re: How do I get my old Surround Mixer recording sources back?p audiodrome,
Is the external Audigy Dri've properly connected? Does the Plat Ex have the rear jacks? If so, can you record from the rear LineIn or mic jack and play sound files through headphones or speakers? What happens when you run the Creative Diagnostic? What does Device Manager show? Otherwise, yes, uninstall and reinstall the Creative software. If your install CD has a repair option, try that first. However, you may find you need to remove the Audigy from your PC, reboot without it, and then reinstall everything. Some Soundblaster cards don't play well with some integrated soundcards, so you may also want to disable the integrated soundcard in BIOS.

Live!Surround speaker setting not showing in surround mixer for SB Live Platinum

the Li've!Surround option for speaker settings in not showing in my Surround Mixer
i have:
Windows 2000 sp4
SB Li've! Platinum 5.
ASUS CUSL2
Sound Blaster Li've! - Li'veDrvUni-Pack (English) SBLW-XPWEB-W4-US 28-Feb-03
Installed the speaker preset for li've!surround but the only headphone, 2 speaker, 4 speaker, and 5. speaker shows up on speaker configuration of the Surround Mixer
i've played the AC3 files on the cdrom and Dolby pro logic surround, I get sound from all fi've speakers on my Denon D-850 w/ Dolby surround pro-logic
I can't use the surround mixer to test all the speakers, only front left and right speakers work on the test, i have to open to wav files directly to test the center speaker, the rear speaker test doesn't work from the wav file
My Denon system only has analog stereo inputs, so this is my only option for letting Sound Blaster know I have 5 speakers.
I've uninstalled all SB Li've software and drivers from the unipack, and reinstalled the orignal drivers and apps from the CD-ROM SBP5-CDSD-W-US MID : 32680 5-Sep-2000 and the Li've!Surround speaker setting reappears in the Surround Mixer.
Is the Li've!Surround setting no longer available in the new Surround Mixer in Li'veDrvUni-Pack (English) SBLW-XPWEB-W4-US 28-Feb-03 ?

so I found this post...
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...7?dmode=source
it seems Li've Surround is no longer supported in the new drivers
....so what would be the best setting to play ac3 files or DVD's through my receiver with only 2 analog inputs (left and right) available w/ Dolby surround prologic. Should I set it to 2 speaker or 4 speaker setting in the Surround Mixer in order to send the best signal to the prologic decoder on my receiver with 5 speakers (2 front, center, 2 rear)

Surround Mix with Logitech Z-5500 Digital

Hello,
I have a project for a 3D animation short movie, and I'll also make the score and sound effect for it, to make a DVD.
I don't have Logic Pro yet; I have Logic Express.
Is it possible to use a Logitech Z-5500 Digital set to do the surround mix with Logic Pro ? Using the optical digital out ?
I have a very limited budget, so I'm looking for the cheapest solution possible, with the best possible sound.
I'm waiting for a Mac Pro 2.66 with an ATI graphic cards (for Motion and 3D).
Thanks.

can't you pick the surround soundtrack in the control bar that is displayed close to the bottom of the movie window when you start one in iTunes? If theres no surround track, it cannot be done, furthermore, the speakers must be run from a surround home theatre receiver. Messing around with it on one of my desktops, I can choose the surround channel, but since it only has 2 built in speakers, I obviously won't get 5.1 (L/R front, center, L/R rear, and subwoofer). I agree iTunes should have preference that surround is automatically decoded when a surround track is available much like it's a preference in DVD player. I still haven't figured that one out.

Surround Mixer for Audigy and Windows 7?

Hello,
I've just installed Windows 7 and I see that the old XP Surround Mixer is no longer working.
I know that?Windows has a sound?mixer, but it is?really annoying and incomplete.
Is there a functional Creative Surround Mixer that I can use with Windows 7?

I would like answers to your question also. Since re-installing, & losing surround mixer, I have sacrificed?most functions with regards to 5./7. sound. As you say, Window's own software is sub-standard when using the card. I love the Audigy2 ZS Platinum and want to get it up and running to its full glorious potential.
?PLEASE PLEASE CREATIVE?PROVIDE US WINDOWS 7 USERS WITH A NEW UPDATED?VERSION OR A VIABLE ALTERNATIVE.
Yours in anticipation
Dave

Surround Mixing - Can't enable 7.1

I am playing with surround mixing for the first time. When I select 'Surround' as the output of my channel the 'Sound Panner' appears and allows me to write surround automation to my track.
It defaults to a 5.1 panner, but when I go into 'Preferences/Audio/Surround/Input' and select 'Show as: 7.1 (3/4.1)' as that what I'm interested in mixing in the 'Sound Panner' still appears as a 5.1 version in the channel strip...
Even if I assign surround to a new channel. Or start a new session with these defaults I can't get the 'Sound Panner' to appear as 7.1.
Any thoughts as to why..?
Many Thanks,
Ped.

SB Surround Mixer Volume Bind Keys/Quick K

Howdy,
I was wondering if anyone knows if it's possible (either with an external program or not) to assign quick keys or bind keys to functions within the Surround Mixer for my Audigy 2 Platinum.
For example, I have a Logitech keyboard with a scroll wheel on the side and I within the Logitech software it is possible to assign it to control the master volume, but for my purposes I would like it (or even some regular keys on the keyboard) to control the gain slider for the the Auxiliary 2 Input. This would be helpful to me, so I can mix the volume of my audio coming in via RCA into Aux 2 on the fly, while Im in a fullscreen application that is also running audio that doesn't take kindly to being alt tabbed - which makes it difficult to open the Surround Mixer Window every time I want to change something.
Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks.

- the Thinkvantage button.
It has no symbol on xev, and acpi_listen says:

I have no idea what to do for that.
From [ibm-acpi-devel] ThinkVantage key on ThinkPad X61
Is the mask value for this key 0x00000080 or 0x00001018?
Neither. In the documentation, you'll see a table with an entry for
each key. The table shows the "ACPI event" code (0x1018 in your]
example) and the "scan code" (0x17 corresponds to that event).
The documentation mentioned above is the README of the ibm-acpi,
where you hav ACPI events and scan codes explained. But, that's low-level thingy.
To configure the ThinkVantage button, simply follow instructions from the How to get special keys to work. For example, Open an application
where you can find out keycode with xev and map desired action with xmodmap.
(On my T400, under X11 the ThinkVantage button generates event with keycode 156. You need to check yours using xev.)

Check the ThinkWiki article above, there are audio buttons explained too.

Hi guys, I have an SB Audigy.
Unfortunately, my installation cd was ruined and i had to get a new Hard dri've.
I have successfully installed drivers and the Creative audio console, but i cannot find anywhere the original installation files for Surround Mixer. (ie, not the stupid little updates it has on the support page)
