USB Live! Sound Blaster 24bit with poppi

Hi. A month or two ago I purchased my usb connected Li've! Sound Blaster 24bit from CompUSA. It has worked fine with my logitech 5. speakers. Yesterday, I bought a 60gig Maxtor harddri've from compusa, also USB. Since I installed that, my sound has been having loud pop sounds once in a while, especially when data is being transfered to the harddri've. I have a 400watt powersuply, amd athlon single core processor, gig ram, onboard harddri've, a geforce nvida 7800gt graphics card. The video card has a printed requirement of 350watts. The harddri've has its own powercord, and the usb that connects it to my PC, and so do the logitech speakers I have both the sound blaster and the harddri've plugged into the rear of my PC.
The poping sound happens about twice, then the sound blaster box makes a click sound and turns off. When I unplug, then plug it back in or press the mute button on it, it comes back on, but I have to restart whatever application that was playing the sound because it no longer works. For instance, if I'm listening to music on iTunes, and the card turns off, I have to close iTunes and reopen it or no sound will come from that application, same goes for media players, web based sound i.e. youtube. When the card turns off, the green and blue light on the front turn off, while I can still see a red glow from the 'optical output' slot.
The only change I made with my PC is plugging in the harddri've. The popping/shutting off of the card happens both when I play sound thats stored on the external dri've, and stuff like my iTunes which is on my internal. The model number of my card is 580490 and the box had a sticker that said '5. home theater audio for your PC' plus another sticker that said '64 bit, Windows XP Pro x64'. I downloaded the drivers for this, but when I tried to apply them, it said they didn't need to be updated. I don't know how to uninstall them.
Thanks, asukar

AmusedToDeath,
It's not referring to the cable. That information is referring to your computer USB controller. If your computer USB controller is only USB . then you will face the limitation.

WinFast PVR2000 and Sound Blaster 24bit Live crackl

Hello dear colleagues.
I am monitoring the crackling issue with Sound Blaster cards for some time now.
I have Sound Blaster 24bit Li've sound card. It crackles rarely, every 5-0 minutes maybe one small crackle or peak pop.
When I am recording with Adobe Audition on LINE IN when crackle happens it is not recorded in the main signal so that is ok.
Now, I am using also WINFAST PVR 2000 cad (TV card).
When I am recording COMPOSITE or SVIDEO with WINFAST from time to time there are crackles which are unfortunately recorded inside the file too during the capture.
I am wondering has anyone noticed those crackles with WINFAST and 24bit li've...
I have by the way updated Bios, SIS video card driver, WINFAST PVR driver and Blaster 24 bit driver. They are updated but crackles with WINFAST are also there.
I am wondering is there maybe solution with some kind of latency setting for WINFAST card or Blaster card? They are all set as 32 by default.
Or there are some other solution. Any other WINFAST and 24bit users out there how are noticing similar problem with crackling during COMPOSITE and SVHS capture?

You can also check up this little Knowledgebase article SID4863 guide which may be helpful to you. Of cos, it still depend on the type of connector your TV have.

DVD-Audio and "can not detect sound blaster card" with Audigy2 Va

I recently purchased an "Audigy2 Value" card from an eBay user, because I recently purchased some DVD-Audio discs. I downloaded the Audigy2 drivers from the website, and the Creative MediaSource player. 5. Surround sound worked fine for me, though sometimes the driver would reset to the default 2/2. sound and I would have to re-select 5. sound, which was annoying.
Then I was completely unable to get the MediaSource player to recognise my DVD-Audio discs, and the EAX functionality of the player would never work. The EAX logo never appeared in the player. When I tried installing the MediaSource player from an install disc, I got the message "can not detect sound blaster card". Then I discovered the world of EEPROM problems.
I followed advice from some other threads, including using ScanPCI to get information on the card, which yielded the following result.
When installed on my machine (Asus A7A266 motherboard) the ScanPCI reads:
Vendor 02h Creative Labs

On another machine (specs unknown, it's a "house pc") I got this (with 3 entries!):

(Just a note: above you can clearly see that it does not say I have an Audigy, it thinks it is a SBLi've. Is this normal? The card IS an Audigy 2, it says so on the card.)
So, I put the card back on my own PC, thinking this has fixed my EEPROM, but I get the same as before. Subsystem ID 0002h. And of course the install software will not detect the card.
I realise that I could go back to using the web drivers, but this still leaves me with MediaSource not recognising the card and not enabling DVD-Audio or EAX, which is why I bought the card in the first place!
I have heard that the VIA chipset is possibly to blame for the EEPROM problems on the Audigy cards, and certainly it seems like it is not permanent, since it gave different information on the other PC. So now I am seriously considering getting a new motherboard.
Do other motherboards cause this same problem? I don't want to buy another board and get the same trouble. All I want is to be able to install my MediaSource and have it recognise my card so I can listen to my DVD-Audio discs.
Cheers,
Russ.

Figured out my problem. Installing the drivers from the web to begin with was a bad idea. They just did not work properly with the card.
The "card not found" problem has gone as well, after installing it in another PC. I am also using the proper install disc now, as the other one I was using turned out to not be for the Audigy 2 value after all, but was an Audigy 2 install disc. That easily explains the "Card not found" error. The differing results from the ScanPCI program are still bizarre, though.
Thanks to all of the people on the forum who posted information in other threads to help me deal with this issue. For now I am sticking with the original drivers from the disc and I am not upgrading.

Sound Blaster Audigy with 5.1 Speakers prob

I have 5. speakers with a sound blaster audigy sound card. I've installed all the drivers and additional programs but it looks like my 2 rear speakers are not working. I thought maybe it was some kind of speaker problem but when i switched the 2 rear with the 2 front then the rear worked but front didn't. In the surround mixer i tested the 5. and here are the results:
- Front Left (Sound: OK, Speaker: OK)
- Center (Sound: NO SOUND)
- Front Right (Sound: OK, Speaker: OK)
- Rear Left (Sound: OK, Speaker: NO - The sound comes from the center speaker)
- Rear Right (Sound NO - It sounds very strange... bearly you can understand the words, Speaker: NO - The sound comes from the center speaker)
The wired are set correctly i checked it and I dont know what it might be wrong. Drivers are ok and everything are installed. Help please.

"I thought maybe it was some kind of speaker problem but when i switched the 2 rear with the 2 front then the rear worked but front didn't."
Does this not indicate two of the speakers are not physically working? Or have a mis-interpreted?

Usb portable sound card conflict with a game called rise of lege

can anyone help me with a conflict issue i have with my usb sound card and the game of rise of legends

Great Question!
To know the answer to this question you usually have to be knowledgeable with multiple series of ATI, Intel, AMD & NVIDIA graphics cards & CPUs but I have a couple ideas for you to save time.
The first is to visit PassMark Software, there they have almost all desktop/notebook graphics cards & CPUs benchmarked in an easy to read graph with higher meaning better. When you have the chart up just do a find on the page and put in 4800+ for the CPU or X1800 for the graphics card depending on which chart you have up. That will you your line on minimum specs you will take on a machine. I think you will be happy with the results! =)
Second, if you already have the machine in front of you go to the Game-O-Meter website and run its diagnostic, after it has given you a baseline just pick one of the hundreds of games available in their list to see if yours is qualified or not. Not only will this give you your answer for Singularity but any others you might have been wondering about.
Hope this helps!

Sound blaster Z with no sound from Optical S/PDIF output

Hi,
I'm trying to record music from a Denon DTR-2000 Digital Audio Tape deck. I have connected a optical S/PDIF cable from Optical Out on the DAT player to the Optical In on the sound card but I'm not hearing any sound.
I've also tried with a CD/DVD player using optical out and still no sound.
My only concern is that whilst there is a definite click when the TOSLINK cable is plugged into the CD/DVD player it doesn't seen particularly well connected in the sound card.
If I start Smart Recorder with Source as Digital-In (SoundBlaster Z) and press Analyse there is no movement in the sound level bars. Presumably there should be.
Hope you can offer some help please.

Just to clear this up. The original cable was fine but the quality of the connectors left a lot to be desired. The plugs needed to be pushed in quite forcibly.

Perhaps Asio4All or USB-ASIO (LX not said to be supported) driver is needed to be installed to get a sort of ASIO support for that USB device.
