Using an Audigy Platinum Live Drive bay with Windows 7

6Using an Audigy Platinum Li've Dri've bay with Windows 7` I bought this card/bay a long time ago:
http://support.creative.com/Products/ProductDetails.aspx?catID=&subCatID=205&prodID=484 6&prodName=Audigy%20Platinum&subCatName=Audigy&Cat Name=Sound+Blaster&VARSET=prodfaq:PRODFAQ_4846,VARSET=CategoryID:
Unfortunately the Li've Dri've panel, which was pretty much the entire reason I bought it, hasn't worked since I installed Windows XP years ago. Now I'm up to W7 64 bit and I'm wondering if there's any use trying to reinstall the hardware and make it work or if I should just get rid of it.
In XP and possibly in Vista I could get basic functions out of the card, but the EAX control panel didn't really work anymore. I used to use the remote control, plug in my guitar and use effects, etc. I'd really like to be able to do that again. Anyone know?

Compatibility of Live Drive II with Windows

Can anyone out there help me? My soundblaster card worked fine when I had Windows 98. When I upgraded to 2000 it ceased working and in the end I gave up. Now that I've upgraded again to Windows XP home I'm trying again but when I try to initialise the recording device it tells me it doesn't recognise the soundcard.

Try installing the Li've Uni Dri've package from:
http://uk.europe.creative.com/support/downloads/download.asp?sOSName=Windows+XP&region=3&Product_N ame=Li've%2+Platinum&Product_ID=3203&modelnumber=& driverlang=033&OS=0&drivertype=0&x=33&y=
The default XP drivers won't recognise the dri've I think.

Audigy 2 live-drive with X-Fi

Is there any way that I can use my Audigy li've-dri've with my X-Fi eXtreme music?
Thanks in advance,

EDIT: Nevermind, it works now...For some reason it took three reboots before it started working.Message Edited by doktaphex on 07-20-2006 03:35 PM

Soundblaster audigy platinum jack panel compatibility with audigy 2 or audigy 2

Can I use a Soundblaster audigy platinum dri've (the front case jack panel) with an audigy 2 or audigy 2 zs sound card? Is it compatible? This is so I don't have to by a platinum version of the audigy 2 or audigy 2zs and spend the money on another dri've panel just to upgrade the sound card.

As both the Audigy and Audigy 2 lines report they are compatible with WinXP, is there any reason I wouldn't be able to use my Audigy Platinum system I bought in 200 with a suped up new Dell Dimention desktop system I just bought? I guess the question behind the question is, what's the difference between the Audigy and Audigy 2 besides just the parts not being compatible with each other and the true bit thing fixed? Thanks!

MOVED: Driver problems with Windows Professional XP 64bit Edition

This topic has been moved to Operating Systems.
Driver problems with Windows Professional XP 64bit Edition

Well, after looking around the forum here I found an answer that works! I wish I could remember who to give credit too though. I installed the latest Vista drivers and I got static all the time. I tried another members suggestion of disabling the X-Fi device in the Device manager every time I log off and then enable the X-Fi the next time I log in. I have great sound as long as I do that. Also, for connecting to a home system I am using the DTS-60, $00 on this website, but it works well if you havea DTS decoder. I am using the X-Fi extreme Music edition. Good Luck, hopefully another driver is on the way.

Hi. I have set up the trial versions of Photoshop CC 2014 and Lightroom 5.6 (ie the Photography plan) on a desktop that I have added a new drive to with Windows 7. Everything works fine BUT it is an old computer and I'm thinking that it may pack up unexpectedly. These things happen. I want to sign up for the Photography plan but I also have a Windows Vista laptop, and that is old too so I may want to put the apps on a new desktop and a new laptop, having already installed on my desktop. That makes three activations. Am I allowed to do this? Cheers. Paul

You cannot have three activations. It's simply not technically possible. If and when the time comes, you simply deactivate/ sign out on one of the old systems and install on the new one. If the system goes belly up, you contact support to reset your account. No need to make it more complicated than that and overthink it.

Lot of addons are not working even after uninstalling and reinstalling them. Using 3.6.12 version of firefox with windows

I am using 3.6.12 version of firefox with windows OS. Recently, lot of addons not working and not showing in task bar like IE tab, RC Search, Answers, Better Privacy, AdBlock plus, etc. I have some 15-20 addons installed of which only 5-6 addons are working .Please help

Update to 3.6.17 in the first instance by clicking '''Help '''| '''Check For Updates'''.
The main reason for this is because there was a security breach at Comodo which is an SSL certificate provider recently whereby a number of fraudulent certificates were inadvertently issued. These allow a hacker to impersonate any site including online banking and the Firefox version you're running at the moment will not warn you that the site is a fake. The fraudulent certificates were blacklisted in v3.6.17 and beyond.
See: http://blogs.comodo.com/category/it-security/data-security/
It's not a good idea to install an ActiveX control in Firefox because you expose your machine to exploits which target that Microsoft technology. If you need to use Internet Explorer, then do that rather installing the IE Tab.
You may find your other add-ons start working properly after you update Firefox, so do that first.

I am using Adobe Reader X on a laptop with Windows Vista OS and Adobe Reader XI on an older laptop with Windows XP OS. While filling out the same form on each computer, I have found that I can save info on the older laptop, but not on the newer one. This is a big problem. I must be able to save on the newer computer. Do I need to buy a new computer with a more up-to-date OS? Please help.

Adobe Reader X can only save reader-enabled forms. Adobe Reader XI can save all forms.

When I use SGD4.4 on HP 8400 workstation with windows XP? The color is bad.

When I use SGD4.4 on HP 8400 workstation with windows XP? The color is bad.
The applications's color is only 8bit.
The server is windows 2003 R2.
When I use RDP to connect the windows server, everything is ok.
Thanks.

what color depth have you specified in the application attributes? Ideally it should match the color depth specified on the application server.
Or, you could be running into the known MS issue with color depth and screen resolutions.
From: http://docs.sun.com/source/820-4905/chapter2.html#Z40002611001810
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Applications Limited to 8-Bit Color Depth for Large Screen Resolutions
Problem: For Microsoft Windows Server 2003 applications, the display color depth on the client device is limited to 8-bit for large screen resolutions. The issue is seen when screen resolutions are higher than 1600 x 1200 pixels.
Cause: A known issue with Windows Server 2003 terminal services sessions.
Solution: See Microsoft Hotfix 942610 for details of how to increase the color depth to 16-bit.

Audigy 2 zs platinum front drive bay mic2 not worki

hey all I finally got my AD_EXT wire to make my audigy 2 card work with the front dri've bay but the problem now is I am in vista ultimate 32bit, all drivers installed right, all cables plugged in but the mic2 is not working....... I'm using a dynamic mic Samson Q7 microphone with the XLR cable. This microphone I heard does not need a preamp so it should powered up.
I called creative and the guy supposed to send me a article to read to fix it but so far no luck in my email about it.
anyone staff members here know the link to that article?

Maybe this will help out:? Under Control Panel ---> Sounds and Audio Devices --> Hardware I have the following list. CD-RW SOHR-5239SDVD_RW ND-3550AMPU-40 Compatible MIDI DeviceUnsupported Standard Game Port - Location: on PCI BusCreative SB Audigy 2 ZS (WDM) - Location PCI Slot 2 (PCI bus 5, Device 7, Funtion 0)Creative Game Port - Location: PCI Slot 2 (PCI bus 5, device 7, function )Audio CodecsLegacy Audio DriversLegacy Video Capture DevicesVideo Codecs?All of them are listed as "Working Properly". The MPU-40, the unsupported game port, creative SB Audigy 2 ZS, Audio codecs, legacy Audio Drivers, and the Creative Game port were all uninstalled prior to my latest re-installation. When the windows install wizard popped up, I cancelled, so everything on that list was installed using the latest creative ZS Platinum driver for x64.

Dolby 5.1 with Windows 7 using an Audigy Platinum EX

Hello.
Long story short.
I've mashed together three old PC's to make one reasonably ok one as a media center.
I have an old MSI motherboard, running an AMD XP 2.GB Chip with .25GB of Ram and an AGP Video card (Soon to be upgraded to an ATI 4850 AGP Card with HDMI out.
My trusty Audigy Platinum EX has been re used (again!) and after finding some drivers, everything seems to be ok!
What's the problem you ask?
I cant seem to get true 5. surround, via the on board optical out (speaker calibration wont play front centre, sub or rear speakers.)
I'm running the lot through a Creative 5. Inspire speaker system (using the optical input) if i let the Inspire system sort out the sound, I can get surround, but only if i switch on the 5. manually, and like I said, it won't play via the speaker test in windows or the creative consul on screen.
Am I missing something real simple, or is this an issue anyone else has had dealings with?
Also (as if that weren't enough) there doesn't seem to be any support for the EAX and ESS systems, and I cant use the remote control that came with the Platinum EX.
If anyone can offer any sugestions, I'd be most grateful.
With Thanks.
Andrew. (UK)

Hello again.
I've got hold of a Vista Support Pack that supposedly fixes loads of the issues I've got with an old card on Windows 7, I've pasted the notebook specs and details that came with it, and if you've any idea how I can put a downloud link on this forum so you can download it from me, you are more than welcome to try it. I'm not knowledged enough to put a link on here, but others have done it, so it must be possible... Any Ideas?

Disable Advanced EQ and Special FX selecting ?No effects? before running the game or program.

It happens after you run a game with OpenAL support or using Creative ALchemy. This issue also occurs in Windows XP, so it is not specific to this Windows Vista driver.
When you restart the computer or run Equalizer, the saved setting is automatically loaded.
- No sound when CMSS is enabled using Audio Console (4. or more speakers)
Just move the Stereo Focus slider and set it back to the desired position, even if it is 0 (zero). Once the setting is saved, works properly. This issue does not affect EAX Settings.

Use this utility to change the MIDI playback device for 32-bit and 64-bit applications.
The driver installer automatically selects the first hardware MIDI synthesizer found.
Note: The Audigy 2 ZS Notebook (PCMCIA) does not have a hardware synthesizer.
Some screenshots:
- Equalizer:
- Stereo Surround:
- Decoder:
- Mplayer Classic: select ?SPDIF Out (Creative SB Audigy (WDM))? as the output device of
your player
- Mplayer Classic: configure the AC3/DTS filter to send the stream through SPDIF
- Hardware MIDI:
Hope this is of some help?
Let me know if you've any idea how to upload the programme!!
Kind regards.

It appears that you did not understand the post that I made.
If you purchase a high end notebook that has a chipset with sata controllers that support SATA3 then SATA3 devices will run at SATA3 bandwidth. Your notebook is not one that does.
It would not matter which brand you chose.
If you decided to economize and purchase a mainstream notebook, then the issue would still be the same.
Notebooks are not created equally. It is the same with desktop PCs.
That is why each manufacturer has a tiered structure to accomodate the economic means of the target market.
1) Entry level (basic chipset and CPU) $
2) Mainstream (mid level chipset and mainstream CPU) $$
3) High end. (high end chipset and high performance CPU, wifi adapter and even SSD hard disks) $$$
