Why doesn't my new Audigy 2 ZS sound better than my old Vibra, and what does emulated me

Hi there. I've bought a new Audigy 2 ZS to replace my fi've year old Vibra PCI 28, and imagine my surprise to discover there doesn't seem to be any difference in the sound quality when playing games. I was wondering if there's something I haven't set up properly, perhapse something not mentioned in the instructions that newbies usually miss.
Also, with my Vibra I had the volume sliders nearly at the bottom, but with the new card I have to put them half way up to get the same volume. Does that indicate a problem? (I use headphones and I have headphones selected under Advanced Audio Properties)
And on Dxdiag on the Sound tab it says the Audigy is Emulated. Should it say that?
Thank you kindly. I just need to know if I should be worried about any of this or if it's to be expected.

Thanks, I'll try that and put it in a different pci slot also.
I noticed after the software installation there was a lot of stuff being loaded at startup and I removed those with a little program I've got. Would that make a difference to this problem? I tried a game before removing them and didn't notice a difference though. Perhapse I shouldn't have been so quick to remove them.
One question... could you tell me if this bit in the instructions...
"Go to Control Panel, System, Device Manager button and delete sound card entries in Sound, Video and Game Controllers as well as any previous sound card entries from the Device Manager."

  • New MBP's better than the old MBP's?

    i have a 2009 13" MBP and been none too impressed with it. i just had an issue with wake from shutdown and i am wondering if the new MBP's are any better than the old ones.
    i have been told i have issues because i am a "power" user (even though i don't really feel like i am and i don't do anything computationally intensive on the laptop) and i'm wondering if i have to get the 15" to get full power, if there is a machine anyone would recommend etc.
    i have been sort of hankering for the 12" that is rumored to come out in part for the form factor and portability but i am a bit scared that this will be a step down and mean i have additional problems.
    thanks for any advice.

    I also agree that the 12" not only has the best keyboard but is the best Mac ever, and I am not looking forward to the day that I have to put the ol' girl down.
    I still mourn mine. One tiny solder connection on the motherboard broke, and it is $800 to replace, but I sure loved that computer. Bought it the week it was introduced and it was wonderful.

    why doesn't my new Samsung s5 ring?

        @phoenixman
    It's important to be able to hear when someone's calling you!  I would love to assist in resolving this issue with your device.
    When did this problem begin?  Has the ringer on your device worked in the past?  Have you tried adjusting the ringer volume?  I'd also like to suggest soft resetting your device http://vz.to/1wDTX1Y.  Please let me know so that I can further assist.  Thanks!

    I recently downloaded the new iTunes version. Why doesn't my new uploaded music appear in the top of the "Music" playlist?

    First see if Finder Preferences has the box checked for... show CD, DVD, iPods checked.
    Sometimes dirty DVDs won't read, mine is ery particular about smudges and scratches.
    Try a SMC Reset:

    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
    Wait 15 seconds.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
    It is the 5 second timing that initiates the reset.

  • Why is the sound of my new ipad cutting out intermittently and what does Apple recommend to solve the problem in lieu of any updates?

    Why is the sound of my new ipad cutting out intermittently and what does Apple recommend to solve the problem in lieu of any updates? All of a sudden without changing any settings, the audio on my NEW ipad cuts in and out on applications/ games, keypad noise and lock sounds. The rocker button only seems to work while the sound is intermittently being heard before, after a few seconds of noise not doing anything when sound goes off.
    This is highly frustrating as I've noticed others posting about such issues as far back as April. Anybody had the same thing happen to them? Is this likely software (ios6) or hardware issue? What are the solutions Apple???

    Apple has no physical stores of their own in Dubai, so unless you mean that you purchased from the online Apple Store for the UAE, you purchased from a dealer, who may or may not have been authorized. You can check the expiration date of the warranty on your iPad yourself by entering in the serial number here:
    https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
    If it does indeed show the warranty has expired, then what you need to do from here will depend on who you purchased the iPad from and when you really did purchase it. Perhaps you actually purchased it in August and are just misremembering? Check your receipt. If you confirm that you did purchase within the last calendar year, tell us exactly where you got it and we can probably offer advice.
    Regards.

  • HT1771 why did apple erase ichat? its so much better than messages and now I cant video chat with my ichat buddies

    why did apple erase ichat? its so much better than messages and now I cant video chat with my ichat buddies!!!

    HI,
    Apple did not erase iChat.
    Messages in Mountain Lion is iChat +
    The plus bit is the fact you can iMessage iOS devices.
    All the other features that were in iChat are still there.
    If you upgraded Lion to get to Mountain Lion then in System Preferences > Mail, Contacts and Calendars you probably list all the iChat Accounts (Screen Names and IDs).
    You may need to enable them for Messages.
    They should also show up in Messages Menu > Preference > Accounts
    Once those accounts (AIM and Jabber) are Enabled they can be viewed in a Combined Buddy List
    Windows Menu > Buddies (Or using CMD + 1 Keystrokes)
    In the General Section of the Preferences you can Unlink these Buddy lists.
    The Green icons or highlight a Buddy and then using the Buddies Menu or the icons at the Bottom of the Buddy list can be used the same way to start Video or Audio Only chats.
    The iMessage "Account" is only for texting iOS devices or other people using their Apple ID on a Mac in Messages.
    It is an account "in addition to" rather than "taking over from" the services that iChat can join.
