Which Sound Cards Have Coax SPD

I am looking for a very cheap 5. sound card that has a SPDIF coax output.

I cant belei've this, it seems the only way to get basic coax spdif support through creative is to buy a $300+ card with rediculous features that no-one needs. or buy an hideous add on for the cards that should already have a coax SPDIF as standard.
Id be better off to shell out $300 on a high end motherboard that manages to squeeze in a coax SPDIF jack amongst all of the other things it provides.
I dont think Creative will last very long using theyre current business strategies to try and make consumers pay more. lol they already have a bad rep because of theyre realtime Dolby Digital patent, preventing onboard soundcards from implementig it.

Which sound card is best for top quality voice to CD recordi

Hi?I want to produce very good quality voice recordings on my computer to then burn to CD, I'm baffled by the range of soundcards available. I dont need theatre suround sound etc, I just want to make mono low noise recordings (using Audigy). Your recommendations would be much appreciated. Regards?Tony

Rfdillon
I would suggestion the new Creative Professional line of cards by EMU are designed to work with professional equipment which have an Optical, Coaxial SPDIF, Midi I/O etc...... on them. More information can be found on these cards at www.emu.com and they are listed as Digital Audio Systems.

Which Sound Card Driver?

Hi All,
I have a MSI KT3 Ultra2 (MS-6380E) and since updating my WMP10 I have no sound. I think I need a new driver but am unsure what I need. It would appear that I have a VIA AC'97 Enhanced Audio Controller - can anyone tell me what I need to download.
TIA
Cheers

Hi, just download live update from the MSI site.
Live update determines what stuff u have, which drivers u use for it and looks for new drivers.
Good luck.

Help with Live!Drive IR + Which Sound Card to Use (Live! vs Audi

Hey guys-- Recently a friend and I started recording music, my neighbor gave me a few cards, and this Li've!Dri've IR.
First, he gave me a Li've! 5. (SB0060) and an Audigy (SB0090) Card. The Li've!Dri've IR (SB000) isn't even listed on products on the Creative American Site. Instead, it is only listed on the HK (Honk Kong) website.
However, neither on the HK site, or the American site, can I find drivers for the dri've. When I say drivers, I honestly don't know if it has item specific drivers or if it functions without them (like a USB hub) but I am missing all of the Creative Suite (Play Center, remote, etc..) The American Site has a bunch of driver UPDATES but not the actual package for the bundled software... I only got 5. drivers off of there. I also have a remote that came with it.Additionally, I was wondering if I could (or should) use the Audigy Card over the 5. card.. I tried to look on the site to compare the differences but they are both so old it was hard to tell. I read that both cards would work with the AudigyDri've but I'm not sure about the backwards capabilities to work with the Li've!IR Dri've.ANY help at all would be wonderful.Note: I am running SONAR 4. if that makes any difference. Thanks,-Mike

Li've!dri've works with both Li've! and audigy card. You will need to get the installation CD to install all the necessary files to works with the li'vedri've. What they have on the support pages are only updates and not standalone installation. I suggest you contact their support and get from them a installation CD. If not, I have the iso of the CD and it's 540MB. If you have ftp then I can upload it to you.

I accidentally uninstalled my sound card driver and cannot retrieve

I tried a system restore but it said a group of people is not allowing it. Anyway, that is beside the point. I lost the CD along with the box, but the sound card is still in my computer, how do I install a driver so I am capable of using the sound card again? Thanks.

creativeness,
Which sound card do you have? If you need to order a replacement CD you can check with the Direct Sales Department. Their phone number is -800-998-000 and it is option #. They are open from 9:00AM to 6:00PM (CST) Monday to Friday.

Recommended sound card for Oracle Redhat Linux 64 bit?

Dear Experts,
I'm trying to install the latest Oracle Redhat 5.
64 bit. On a certified Asus motherboard.
It will be a dual boot windows/Linux machine.
And I'm having an awful time with the sound card for my new server.
(It will be used for learning, at home. It's important to
have sound for some instructional videos that I will also watch.)
Other installs, sound has installed and worked fine.
I believe it's partially because the sound came directly off
the motherboard in those cases.
But with this new server, it came with a sound card, no onboard.
The sound card works with windows. But not with Linux.
I've been swapping three sound cards in and out, trying to get
one to work. Each has some partial success, but none meet all
of the requirements (below).
What is really frustrating is that I want the sound to go
to the green headphone jack on the front of the computer case.
To do this, there is a cable that connects the sound card, to
the front of the chassis.
The existing sound card that I have, has a connector for this.
It is an "HD audio", or an AC 97 connector. There two rows of
five pins, with one pin blocked up, so that the connector is
inserted in the correct manner. The cord is hard wired to the case.
You can see some images of the pins and the cords here:

http://www.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=27289176
You would figure that whether the connector existed or not would be a standard
feature that would be listed for sound cards. But it's rare to find it listed anywhere.
When I went to the computer store, I had to open all the boxes to see if it
was there or not!!!! Manufacturers, this is not that difficult!!
At this point, after a couple of days of struggle, I just want to buy a
simple sound card that works right out of the box.
Here are the requirements:
- gets instantly recognized by Linux (Oracle Redhat 5) 64 bit, and plays sound
with the standard Linux drivers. I believe I have all of the drivers installed,
because a few cards do play with them automatically. During installation, I
installed Every package available.
- no installation of special Linux drivers required.
- the other big requirment is that the card have output to an HD Audio,
or AC 97 connector, and will play music through the headphone jack.
(Believe it or not, I have one card that works fine out the back,
but won't work through the HD Audio. But it works fine in Windows)
- will also work with Windows 64 bit.
Does anyone have any good sound card recommendations that will meet all these requirements?
Thanks a lot!

Almost a year later... what have you been listening too? :-)
I have to admit that I'm not an expert for "sound" under Linux. I think you may find http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page interesting. It also shows which sound cards are compatible.
ALSA is pretty much standard under Linux and stands for Advanced Linux Sound Architecture. Together with pulse-audio it provides audio and MIDI functionality to the Linux operating system and is, by default, also included in RHEL and other descendants. You can install pulseaudio support using the EPEL repository following the instructions at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL
wget rpm -Uvh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/x86_64/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
sudo rpm -Uvh epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
yum list alsa* pulseaudio*

Sound Card with 2 audio lines IN/

About to build new computer which will contain a large 'Jukebox'. To run through my home theater and receive inputs from my tape player & vinyl record player I need left & right lines in & out. Most sound cards have only one line in & out. What is best option to handle this?

This site (http://harness.gadgetscope.com/view/XFIH-002) sells a cable for this purpose that will work with any SB card with the ten pin white connector on it. Bit expensi've but should do the trick.

What is my sound card?

hello.
i would like to know which sound card i have, and what its specifications are. this machine is a `late 2007' macbook. in this
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacBook#Specifications
wikipedia table, the machine in question is at the far right corner.
also, is there a way of finding this out via the terminal?
something along the lines of `cat /proc/cpuinfo'?
thanks.

something related to audio is not working.
and this may be because i'm following a setup that works with (i quote) ``older Macbooks (before Autumn 2007)''. i was wondering what makes the late 2007 macbooks different from their predecessors as regards to what you call the `circuitry' for audio.
i can't say that i'm looking for something in particular. i guess i'm looking for the differences between the new and the old circuitry.
thanks for the replies.

NEW SOUND CARD NEEDED FOR HOME PC, HOW TO CHOOSE AND INST

I am running Windows XP on Home PC bought 2003. The sound card is integral with the motherboard. Now the soundcard is not working. I have done tests, including headphones to output jack in the PC, no sound. No mute buttons are ticked. The speakers seem fine. So question is: can I buy a Creative sound card, and put it in the PC myself? I have Video Logic ZXR-500 5. Channel Speaker System. Motherboard info: Gigabyte 7VAX, KT400, DDR, 8X AGP, USB 2, LAN, 6Ch AC97. Sound Card info: Onboard 6 Channel AC97 Audio. The company who built the PC have closed down. I would like to use my PC to play CD and listen to Radio, Video cli
ps.
I do not use it for gaming. Please let me have your advice. I could pay somebody to fix the new sound card, which I should like to buy from Creative, but also not sure which sound card to buy, or if this is possible, since the existing soundcard cannot be removed. Maybe I could try an external sound card via USB? Many thanks. Halton

Hi Halton,
For listening to music and internet radio any of our cards should be fine, the budget cards are for instance
Sound Blaster Li've! 24-bit
Audigy SE
Audigy 2 Value
Regarding disabling the onboard audio, I can't give you a set of specific instructions, as this can differ per motherboard. Usually you can get into the BIOS by holding the Delete key (when specified) during the boot process. The BIOS screen is usually a blue background with white text. Onboard audio could be listed as "AC97" (which you set to enable or disable). If your PC or motherboard came with a manual, it may have some detail on how to change this.

<p class="MsoNormal">Please, help me to chose.
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks in advance.

Also its not available retail, it will be a OEM only feature for new systems.

Sound card for T6060 inspire 5.1 creative speaker

Which sound card will be most suitable for T6060 5.1 Inspire creative speaker?
Can we get the sound effect via this card same as of DVD player?

Try a set of headphones on the same output on the soundcard. If you hear static then, it's something on the card or PC that's causing it. If the sound is fine then, it must be something in the speakers.
Double-check the cable isn't damaged, it may be that it's faulty. Otherwise it's possible the center speaker itself (or the output on the sub) is broken. Contact Customer Support for assistance in that case.

MSI Z87 MPower Max on board sound card vs SS Sibera v2 sound card

Hey,
I've been wondering which sound card should i use, the on board sound card or the SteelSeries Siberia V2 sound card
thanks :D

Recently i made the following system for a custumor:
AMD 64 4000
K8N Diamond
2 x 512DDR 400 Elixir
128mb Geforce 6600GT (Sparkle)
2 x 250GB Maxtor 8mb on ide
DVD-rom Lite-on
DVD-RW NEC 3250
MSI TV@nywhere
12in1 Card reader
Floppy
Qtec 650W Tripple Fan PSU
In this configuration the system works perfectly but my custumor found the power supply to noisy. So I chanched it to an ENERMAX EG425AX-VE this made the system very quiet unfortunately too quiet because there wasn't any sound anymore
I thought it came from the power supply so I chanced it with an antec true power 550W EPS12V. But still there wasn’t any audio working. Then I tried an AOPEN 300W AO300-12APNFthen there was sound but after 2min there came I serious distortion on the sound…
I also tried a new win xp installation, Unplugging or removing devices but still no result the only PS that works is a cheap qtec 650W Triple Fan. Could you advice me on which PSU I could use in this configuration? Or would a bios update be a solution?

CUPC - "Phone Error. Could not place call because you have no audio device or sound card."

Periodically throughout the day, CUPC will not make or receive calls, but instead presents a dialog box with the message "Phone Error. Could not place call because you have no audio device or sound card." See attachment.
Signing out of and back into CUPC resolves the issue temporarily.
I have version 8.6.2 installed and I'm using a USB headset.
Does anyone know what might be causing this?

Hi Steve,
I have users reporting this as well with Jabra GN 2000 headsets. They claim using a different headset resolves it which I'm waiting to confirm but I was wondering if you were able to figure this out.
Thanks

Searching for sound card, which decodes Dolby Digital from S/PDIF-IN

As I wrote in the topic headline, I'm currently searching for a sound card, which decodes Dolby Digital from the S/PDIF input.
I.e. a DolbyDigital signal comes from an external device (here Set-Top-Box/Media-Recei'ver) and the sound card should send the signal to my analogue speakers.
Currently I have a Creative X-Fi ExtremeMusic, this card does not support this.
And yes, I read the thread "Digital Connection...".
Thanks for any replies!

HRe: Searching for sound card, which decodes Dolby Digital from S/PDIF-INE I'm still doing some research on this topic, although I'm already searching for 2 years now with no real solution. Several people say, that I can do that, what I described in the first posting, by using an I/O console from Creative. But Creative (support) says, it is impossible at all, they don't have any products, which can do this.
Can anyone tell me, whether it's possible or not? Important fact: I use Windows XP, not Vista. And I don't want to use modded drivers. I want to use the latest official ones.
The new soundcard "Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatalty Champion Series" has an I/O dri've. If I have this, can I decode DolbyDigital from S/PDIF-IN, if I plug the optical cable into the soundcard? Because this console seems to have no optical input.
