Swap/ Switch Sub & Center (Audigy

Hi, I have an Audigy 2 NX (SB0300) and have recently 'lost' the sub/ center speaker switch (I think it was a tick box in the software somewhere!)
It was after a fresh install. I am running with the latest Drivers/ ap
ps.
Any suggestions or help most appreciated! Cheers

It's been a while, but I seem to remember there being a little check box which allowed the swap of signal between centre/ sub.
I just checked those from my notebook and there's no such checkbox.
Volume level settings for separate channels (Surround Mixer > Advanced) vary depending what speaker configuration you have selected in Speaker Settings but it doesn't have such checkbox, no matter what speaker configuration you select, only checkbox is for bass management which would enable cutting low frequencies from satellites and redirecting them to subwoofer.

No Center/Sub from Audigy using Klipsch Promedia 5.1 (analog) - NOT a CMSS/digital output qu

I am receiving no center/sub output from my Audigy Platinum card. I have had the card installed on the same system (P4 3.0/ASUS P4800 Mobo/Win XP Pro SP2) for a couple of years with no problems. I recently began experiencing intermittent loss of my center/sub channel. Since I have not changed the connections in quite some time, I was able to rule out an improper output connection. Also, I was able to independently test the speakers themselves and the center and sub are both functioning. Additionally, I switched my Klipsch volume/channel output controller to headphone mode and ran the Creative Speaker diagnostic and I hear four channels (FR/FL/RR/RL) in the headphones (as I do with my front and rear speakers) but I do not receive any signal for the center channel (i.e., no "center channel" speech signal). Based on all of the above, I am certain that the speakers are functioning correctly (I am of course using them in analogue mode), there is no "switch" on the rear of the subwoofer for 2/2., all of my Creative and windows software are configured for 5. audio. I have uninstalled and reinstalled all of the creative drivers and software (using Driver Cleaner Pro in Windows Safe Mode) and reinstalled from my original Audigy CD and then performed a complete Auto Update from the Soundblaster.com site. <Still no center/sub even in diagnostic test!!!!

I want to be clear: I am not confused about CMSS 5. gaming/audio issues; I believe this is purely a soundcard output issue. Despite all the grousing I read about the Creative driver series, I have been most happy with the Audigy Plat card. It has performed extremely well with the Klipsch 5. in gaming, DVD, and audio contexts for several years through numerous driver updates. I know how to configure the settings to get true 5. in any context. However, now I am completely stumped. Is there anything I have overlooked or might try so I do not have to conclude that this great card has just "crapped out" and now needs to be replaced?
Thanks for listening.

Thank you! I had my digital coax connected there with an adapter, but since that can only carry ac-3 and stereo signals im better of using direct 5 chan ( i don?t watch movies on my PC... that?s what the home theater is for) Most games use EAX or some other direct sound, so ill stick with 5. direct analog. who would have thought the digital jack was also for center/sub heh.

Thanks again man!

How to switch Game Center accounts?

I used to use my parent's Game Center and Apple ID for playing games, but now I have my own. The games are saved to their account, but how do I switch the data to mine? I've already asked support and they have not been of muh help...

you can't you can change the game center appleID but the progress and such is tied to the other appleID and can't be transfered around

Best practice switching subs on/off?

I have a DVD project with about 19 tracks.
Each track will be accessed from a single menu (and a menu can have several Tracks linked to it).
Now, there'll be a setup menu, where you can choose wether or not to play the Tracks with or without subs.
So, which way to go?
Easiest way is to use a pre-script for each Track, switching subtitle stream on, depending on GPRM set in the Setup menu.
Or is there any other way? I'm thinking of scripting the play for each track, like
if GPRM0=0 set subs off
if GPRM0=1 set subs on
Jump Track
I somewhere recall that pre-scripts should be avoided.
Any tips greatly appreciated!

I sent for the scripting. It was only 19 fracks in the project, so I did not consider it too cumbersome.
And it seems to work, too.

3750 as a router and a switch. sub-optimal routing problem

Objective: To limit the traffic on Vlan8. We are seeing traces from K1 or T1 to 192.168.1.4 like this:
1- 10.10.10.5
2- 10.10.20.1
3- 192.168.1.4
then
1- 10.10.10.4
2- 10.10.30.1
3- 192.168.1.4
or
1- 10.10.10.5
2- 10.10.200.1
3- 192.168.1.4
this causes the packets to travers vlan8 once to get routed by P61B then switched back across to reach the next hop 20.1 or vice versa.
How can we avoid this behavior?
Study the attached drawing carefully. Vlan 8 has 4 routers on it and the 3750s have routes to the 4 networks above them. packets are not routed between the 3750's

Hello Todd,
Could set up a debug ip icmp on the router 192.168.1.4 and ping it from both T-1 and K-1, I think this problem would be more clear to everyone.
If not mabybe you could provide the output of "show ip route" on the routes on this issue,at least on the routers/switch 192.168.1.2 , 192.168.1.3 and 10.10.10.4 and 10.10.10.5 and T-1, K-1.
for routes like 192.168.1.4, 10.10.10.2-5 and 20.20.20.2-3
Hope thats not to much info.
Thanks,
Vlad

Need JUST Creative Remote Center (Audigy Platinum

I need to install just the Creative Remote Center, but of course because of the way that Creative bundles all its drivers together ("Oh you want to install that optional component now? Here, let me install these years-old drivers and some other useless crap you don't want!") I am unable to do so off the CD. Could someone provide just the Creative Remote Center, or a link to a viable alternati've that will work? I tried copying the Setup.exe and _Setup.dll from \Audio\English\Setup to a directory on my hard dri've that contained a copy of everything in \Audio\English\Remote and was told that "Setup requires a different version of Windows. Error 02." This is running Windows XP SP. Compatibility modes to not affect this message.

It sounds like the card isn't installing correctly, when it is installed it should be listed in the Device Manager with the correct name (so not a generic audio device or unknown device). It would be best to disable your onboard audio to make sure that won't conflict.
What happens when you run the installation CD? Does it seem to install the driver? It may help to uninstall the card, and move it to another slot if it isn't getting picked up correctly. It'll force it onto other resources, reinstall the CD then.
When the card is installed, check in Control Panel -> Sounds and Audio Devices. The card should be listed there so you can select it as the preferred device (for playback and recording).

CMSS 5.1 Analog on a Audigy Gamer, not possible b/c no analog center/sub outpu

Hi I have an Audigy Gamer there is outputs for only 2 analog stereo jacks ( Speaker Set , and speaker set 2) there is no third jack for the that last connector Sub/Center. What gives? I thought the Audigy was compatible with 5. systems? I guess they only mean ac-3 digital audio output huh. If this is the case, what is the cheapest SB card I can upgrade to with the standard 3 sets of analog jacks so that I can get proper full surround with the triple (Green/front pair, black/rear pair, black/center and sub) analog wires?
Thx in advance

Thank you! I had my digital coax connected there with an adapter, but since that can only carry ac-3 and stereo signals im better of using direct 5 chan ( i don?t watch movies on my PC... that?s what the home theater is for) Most games use EAX or some other direct sound, so ill stick with 5. direct analog. who would have thought the digital jack was also for center/sub heh.

T7900 7.1 No Proper Sound On Front Center with Audigy 2 Va

I've had these inspire 7. speakers for about 4 years now, bought this audigy value 7. sound card on saturday, and the front center speaker, wont produce sound, and when im playing games, i get Very Low distorted sound from it, so i cant hear the sound in games properly.
i have swapped the front center speaker around with the front right one, and the speaker itself is working fine, im sure the fact i have no tone (bass/treble) control,?is the issue, because the speakers all work fine with my onboard sound and my old Audigy 5. SE, messing with the graphic equalizer also does nothing.
the software and drivers are fully updated for the sound card, and everything else is also upto date on my system.
im running XP Pro' SP2
P4 Northwood 2.8Ghz
2048 Dual Channel DDR 3200
ABIT IC7 Mobo'
Any Help PleaseMessage Edited by Samwise47 on 04-8-2008 0: AM

*Update*
i've just installed one of my favorite games, that does in fact support 7.,?and its still the same, also still the same with a dvd i played last night..
?only solution is to set my speakers to 4. mode, but why should i have to do that, and why has no one replied to my post??

Suggestions on best way to switch b/t Analog and Digit

I Just finally got myself the Logitech 5450's Speaker which support analog and digital 5. but Im a bit of a novice when it comes to audio stuff and Im just realizing that as great as digital sound is for movies (which support it of course), that unless a games specifically supports Dolby or dts digital output (which most do not), Ive got to switch back to using an analog connection.
The two annoyances Im left with whenever I need to switch from analog to digital (or vice versa) is swap cable on the sound card (between a coax digital and the "Sub/Center channel" plug of the analog 3-set plug) and Ive got to change the output setting on my sound card to enable/disable the "Digital Output Only" setting.
Im wondering if anyone has any suggestions on the easiest way to manage these settings so that i can swap between these two modes as easily as possible.
Thanks in advance!!

The best way is to use Migration Assistant. When you start up your new machine you will be asked whether you want to migrate data from another machine. This involves connecting them by Firewire cable and starting the source machine in FireWire Target Disk Mode. (New updates may allow doing this via USB, but I don't know how this works).
You should do this before setting up any user accounts on the new Mac, and should choose to import the user(s) from the old one. You can choose whether to bring applications over: if it's the same version of Leopard this would probably be OK, but many people feel it's better to reinstall. In any event it won't over-write the included Apple applications such as Safari.
When you have done this you will find your Home Folder there intact, and registered programs will still be registered (unless the registration depends on the particular computer); all your data will be there, including bookmarks and contacts etc.

4-pole Minijack-toRCA? (Digitally connect Audigy 2 SZ to Inspire 5500 speakerset)

Hello forum/Creative,
After searching and searching, I'm just confused. And I'm quite an audiophile and I know quite a lot about cable and connections. I still have a problem getting (Dolby) Digital from my Audigy 2 SZ card, to my Creative 5500 (Digital) speakerset. There's a couple "paradoxes" if you will so I hope someone (of Creative) can explain this to me.Because my situation is different than everything I read before.Now the "problem" is that the 5500 digital speakerset uses an external Dolby Digital decoder that is connected to the subwoofer by a DIN-to-DIN cable. Then there are the 3 minijacks (output) that connect from the decoder to the sub. (This also enable volume control per channel via the external decoder/remote) Then there's a coaxial (digital) input that goes from the decoder to any digital out source, which at first was at the coaxial out of my DVD player, which gave the Dolby Digital 5. channel sound as it should. No problem so far.But then I bought an Audigy 2 SZ card for my pc and the problems is that the Digital Out of this card is not a coaxial one, but a minijack output.Strangly however, the 5500 speakerset includes a minijack-to-rca cable, so I can connect the coaxial input on the decoder to the minijack digital out of the Audigy 2 SZ card. Then I got just front L/R channels. I realized the included cable was a 2-pole minijack, with one ground connection and audiostream (Front L/R) What I need is a 4-pole Minijack-to-RCA (. ground 2. Front L/R 3. Rear L/R 4. Sub/Center) , but I dumbfounded so far and I wonder if this cable even exists. After looking in the manuel again and checking the Creative forum and other audiofora, all I can see is a 4-pole minijack-to-DIN (digital din)Here'smy problem with that:st of all my external decoder is connected to the subwoofer via a DIN-to-DIN cable. So if I would get that 4pole Minijack-to-RCA my external decoder becomes nothing more then a nice piece of decoration. Since power from the sub goes to this decoder via the DIN cable (do I wonder if it's a Digital DIN at all)But since this decoder is also used to control volume (per channel) and has the infrared remote receiver + Dynamic Mode setting which can only be set via the remote, I would loose all these functions?I know the Audigy 2 SZ has it's own Dolby Digital (EX), DTS (ES) etc, but I don't want the soundcard output alone and not use the external decoder (again, since this decoder does more than just decode alone).Now a 4-pole Minijack-to-RCA would solve all these problems and I REALLY hope these exists. (Should be possible at least).Currently I have unplugged the 3 minijacks-to-minijacks from the external decoder and plugged them into my Audigy 2 SZ card for Analog Surround. But it doesn't sound good (well at least compared to real Dolby Digital) and via this setup I lost volume control (per channel) functionallity of the external decoder.So please help me out on this. I would really appreciate it.Regards,Felix.

P.S. The 4pole Minijack-to-RCA I mention is a female RCA connector to accept the male-to-male coaxial RCA cable. I also noticed the Audigy 2SZ Quick start manual states to hook up 5. digital speakers to use a 4pole minijack-to-4pole minijack, but this is impossible since there is only a coaxial input and minijack output.So a minijack-to-minijack cable is completely wrong. After (again) checking my Inspire 5500 user's guide, I noticed ONLY THIS manual has the ONLY correct solution to hook up the set. The aformentioned 4pole minijack-to-RCA (female).Creative, why do you supply a useless 2-pole minijack-to-RCA for the digital connection of the Inspire Dolby Digital 5500 speakerset instead of the 4pole one?I mean, you buy the Dolby Digital set to get real Dolby Digital sound, but to get that from your own Audigy (2 SZ) card, you need another cable!! (and when you get it, the other cable will never be used for anything else, since it can only transfer the Front L/R signal!!

Lost my center channel on X-Fi (and recovered

That's the weirdest thing I have ever seen. I have formatted my dri've and reinstalled Windows XP with SP2 integrated. My machine is a Pentium 4 2.26 o/c at 2.7 (60 FSB), it's been working solid rock for years. Motherboard is Gigabyte 8INXP (Intel E7205 Granite Bay chipset) with Gb or RAM (2x52Mb OCZ).
Afer formatting and reaintalling, I configured the X-Fi Fatalty, I did speaker test and everything works fine, sound from all of them (tested under THX console). On saturday I started playing Doom 3 (EAX 4.0 patched) and I noticed that weapon sound came from front right speaker. I exit Doom, and I enter Battlefield 2, with nati've X-Fi support. Same thing, center sounds came from right speaker. I couldn't believe it.
I unplugged all cables from the subwoofer (Megaworks 550 THX 5.l), launched speaker test and started pluggin again every cable. Guess what?, I didn't get any sound from center speaker. I uplugged center speaker and connected it intro front left connector. It sound ok, so it's not speaker fault. I switch the center/sub cable with the front left/right, and I get sound from center speaker when I clic front left, so the amplifier seems ok.
So I have only one thing left: the X-Fi. I tried everything, shut down the PC, restart, change speaker settings and nothing works, so I start thinking about RMA. I take out the card from the PC, look at it (I was waiting to see some burnt chip into it, but it was perfect) and, as my last effort, I plug it into a different PCI slot.
It worked, and I still can't believe it. I haven't changed ANYTHING, just boot again and all speakers work. I'm sure if I place it into the original PCI slot it will work, because it was working when I just installed the OS.
If anybody can tell me what the hell happened here, I would be very, very grateful

same thing happened to me , but i lost my rear left , when i ran the speaker test the sounds for the left was comming the right , and the test sound for the right came out muffled trough the front right .
pissed out of my mind , i uninstalled all the drivers and deleted all the creative folders.
reinstalled and it was fixed ,
creative builds awesome sound cards , but awefull drivers .
im still trying to find out why my microphone is sending the feed back back to my speakers , even when im not recording anything or have any recording application open , resulting in a nasty feedback and screching noise when i turn on my spakers loud .
i solved this by connecting the microphone in the front of the platium panel and just puting up to having to listen to myself type in my earphones , and when i want to listen to my speakers i just turn down the microphone nob .
annoying , i dont think this card was ready to be released driver wise .

Audigy Platinum FR/FL speakers not working

I'm running the beta driver 2.8. on Windows 7 Ult x64 using a 5. set of Altec Lansing 25 speakers. These work great with my onboard sound on another pc but I can't get the Front Right/Left speakers to work with the Audigy. I get RR/RL,Sub & Center. No matter which set of jacks I plug into I can't get the FR/FL speakers to work. I've gone through the CL Audio Console to configure the speakers and it's set to 5.. Windows is configured for 5. sound.
Specs:?
Windows 7 Ult x64
Tyan Thunder K8HM
?Dual AMD Opteron 850 dual core
4G Ram
320G SATA HDD
Altec Lansing 25 5. speakers

it sounds to me like you have your matrix button pushed in. This button will try to make sound come out of all speakers. If it is depressed and you are testing a five to 1 sound, it will not play through the center channel. I have an old set of logitech speakers and with the matrix button pressed in, I get no center channel because it is trying to upsample stereo to all five speakers. Try that please.
Thanks

X-Fi and Center Speaker Prob

Hi.
First of all sorry for my bad english.
i have a problem with my x-fi card and my center speaker.
my soundcard is connected to a sony dolby digital receiver via analoge cable connection. so three cables going from the soundcard to the receiver. the problem is, that my center speaker gives no sound. this happens whatever i do with the pc (playing games, watching dvd, eg.).
sometimes the speaker starts to work if i turn up the volume very loud or it starts to play after a certain amount of time for example if i run a game or play music.
the speaker itself, cables and speakers are fully operational. tested it with other audio sources.
i installed the newest drivers and even newest nvidia drivers. problem still resists.
my system is a amd athlon 64 3700+ on an msi k8n neo 4 platinum board with nforce 4. i have two 52mb kingston memory modules running in dual channel mode.

Well... Try this: switch the wires on your receivers input, to make for example the FL/FR to get the Subwoofer/Center signal of the soundcard. If you hear the center sound from one of the 2 speakers normally, then the problem lies in the receiver. Otherwise it may well be a faulty cable! Try another wire, or switch the cables on both ends this time to see if it makes any difference. (ie. use the FL/FR cable to connect the Sub/Center of the soundcard to the Sub/Center of the receiver)
I really think this could be the result of a bad connection...
