  • Vista and Sound Blaster Audigy

    Okay I am getting desperate. I have been searching all over for this odd occurence but I havent found anything. I am running a dual core amd processor with Vista 64-bit, 4 GB RAM, and a Sound Blaster Audigy. I purchased this card off of ebay, so I dont exactly know the model (it is the one with a firewire ( ) port on the actual card, and a tan/white i/o box that goes in my cd dri've bay; the box just plainly says Soundblaster Audigy). Anyway, the card had been working great with the drivers at first, and I then had a kernal file fail on me. Well, after recovering successfully with the Windows disc, I came back to find out my drivers had messed up. I tried many combinations of uninstalls/reinstalls, different packages, etc and nothing seems to work. However, the odd part is that sound works within the windows environment (system sounds/clicks/etc), and also through the line in on the breakout box, AND in FLStudio/Reason/Windows Media Player. However, I am not able to get sound through flash movies, Winamp, PC Games, and media things of the sort. I was wondering if anyone else has had this odd occurence, and knew how to fix it. Thank you.
    PS
    The error I get on Winamp is Bad Directsound driver. Please install proper drivers or select another device in configuration. (I have also messed around with the Winamp output with no luck).

  • Problen with dual core and sound blaster audigy 2

    HI.
    Installing drivers for windows XP 32 or windows 64 in both cases when I play an MP3 file or playing any games when it starts i heard a terrible noise and after a few seconds sounds normal. The problem is basically at starting mp3 songs or any program even Excel. When I am listening a song and start a program like word the noise comes out.
    When I was using this card with a pentium 4 2.6 GHz with an intel mother board 875PBZ never had such a problem and windows XP 32 bits.
    I would appreciate any help on this matter. Actually I am using Windows x64 and i've downloaded your last version driver and still got the problem.
    In my opinion should be some synchro problem in your driver with processor intel D830 clock.
    please help me i dont know what to do.
    my pc:
    Pentium d 830 with d945gnt mothercard. 52mb ram and nvidia 6200 video card.

    There was a recent thread posted regrding turning off of the cores during certain music ap
    ps.
    I'll try and find time to search for it later, and edit this thread with details.

  • Vista drivers problems Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Noteb

    First thing to do: haveyour systemchecked out, if windows says the hardware is failing there may really be something wrong with it.
    If the SB card works in an XP machine there may be a problem in the the PCI slot or controller on the motherboard, either way have a tech shop look at it. If thehardware allchecks out: before putting the card back in completely delete the old driver and software, download the new one without installing it, then put the card in and windows should try to auto-install with the new driver.P.S. the platinum version is the one with thecontrol panel that slots into a dri've bay, if you have one of those, it's a platinum, if not, it's a regulHi all, how are you
    I have a Sony VAIO VGN-SZ430N/B notebook, and I'm trying to install Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Notebook on it (Unfortunately, the notebook came with windows vista business from factory).
    This notebook has a Texas Instruments PCMCIA controller.
    Under "Device Manager" the PCMCIA controller is described as "Texas
    Instruments PCI-8x2/7x2/6x2 CardBus Controller", but on Sony's
    webpage the driver that seems to be related to it is "Texas
    Instruments PCI74 Integrated FlashMedia Controller Driver".
    It is kind of all in one solution from Texas Instruments (PCMCIA
    controller, Memory Card reader, and Firewire controller).
    Please, may someone help me to answer the questions bellow
    1)Are there any kind of compatibility problem between this notebook PCMCIA controller (described above), and Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Notebook
    2)I've already brought this notebook to Sony's support service, so they could verify if there is any kind of hardware problem with the notebook. Sony's technician wasn't able to find any hardware problems on it, but I'm experiencing the problem described below:
    2.)Every time that I plug this sound card on my notebook, and I try to install Creative's latest windows Vista drivers(Creative Sound Blaster Audigy series Vista Driver 2.2.0002), thus It leads me to a Blue Screen during the driver installation process. Please, Does somebody know what could be this problem root causeIt is very weird, even if i try to install this sound card on clean windows vista install, then it leads me to blue screen. Besides, I have another PCMCIA card from another manufacturer, and I was able to install its windows vista drivers with no problem.(It sounds that Creative labs' vista drivers is the problem root cause as I've tested this sound card on a different notebook with windows xp and It worked fine).
    3)Does anyone know if creative is planning to release a windows vista driver that allows the users to use all of this sound card featuresSo far the latest driver available doesn't support even DVD-Audio. Have creative labs discontinued this product
    I appreciate any help you can give me,
    thanks in advance,
    Rogerr ZS.

    The best advice I can give is to fully remove ALL Creative software.We've compiled a list of entries that will cause problems here. It's very important before installing newer files.http://nomoregoatsoup.wordpress.com/...tall-problems/Then install some better drivers and see if that cures your issues. The 2.2.0002 drivers are really, really awful, 99% of people I've spoken to had problems with them. I personally like 2.5.0002 Hope this helps.

  • Error with Sound Blaster Audigy 2 installation...driv

    Hi
    I am really stuck with this issue and was wondering if someone out there could help. I have an Audigy 2, and have had it working for a long period of time. I had to re install Windows not so long ago and since then I have found a number of errors with my sound.
    Firstly there are a lot of pops and clicks when either gaming or playing audio files. Admittedly the pops and clicks happen a lot more when gaming (multiple sounds playing at once ?).
    Therefore I decided to come onto creatives site and download the new drivers for my sound card. I was still running the original drivers from the CD supplied, so felt it was about time.
    I downloaded the file SBA2_PCWDRV_LB__84_55-R, which is the correct update for my card and tried to install it.
    It comes up with a message:
    Setup could not detect and Sound Blaster Audigy 2 on you system.
    Please ensure that your sound blaster hardware is properly installed before running this setup program.
    setup will not exit
    After that message i was a little confused, because as far as I was concerned everything was working ok, sound was coming out and was coming out correctly from my 5. surround system.
    So i double clicked on the Creative Volume Control to check everything was on.
    I'm not sure if this is an error but a long the top where you select the output device mine says:
    SB Audigy [A000]
    I'm not 00% sure but I don't think it said that before, I think it said something else, but I could be wrong.
    I decided to uninstall my sound card and re-install. Everything installed absolutely fine from the CD, recognised the card and no complaints.
    So I tried to re-install the driver update, and same message. (And the output device is still SB Audigy [A000].
    Again I uninstalled and tried the Beta patch on the off chance that that would work, still nothing, it does not recognise the card in my computer.
    I definately have an Audigy 2 and it has worked properly allowing me to update it before.
    Sorry to have such a long message, but I am really confused about all of this and would really like to get everything working properly.
    Any advice and help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    fedepolito,
    I assume that you are running WinXP with Service Pack 3. Did you do a clean sweep of all the Creative Software and reinstall from the A2ZS CD? Do you get sound then?
    Me disculpo que no entend?a que todo que usted dijo en su poste. Asumo que usted est? funcionando Windows XP con el Service Pack 3. ?Usted hizo un retiro del barrido limpio de todo el Creative software? (Busque los foros para el "clean sweep." ) ?Despu?s de eso, cuando usted reinstala del CD de Audigy 2 ZS, usted consigue el sonido?

  • Sound Blaster Audigy Drivers and Applications CD-Rom

    Does anyone know where I can get or download?the "Sound Blaster Audigy" "Drivers and applications" CD-rom?
    I have included a pic below:

    jay23,
    First extract the RAR file you downloaded using WinRar. During the extraction, WinRar will create an ISO file which is an image of the installation CD. If you don't want to burn that ISO file to a CD, then download and install MagicDisc from the link I gave above. MagicDisc lets you mount an ISO file as a virtual hard dri've. You should be able to install from that virtual CD just as if it were a real hard copy CD, but I've never tried that so can't say for certain.

  • Sound Blaster Audigy and STAL

    I've got the following problem. In game called "S. T.A.L.K.E.R" i can hear very lound sounds of shooting and very silence people conversations.
    I've got "Sound Blaster Audigy" and Creative Speakers.

    Hi,
    There are several choices if it comes to Audigy (emu0kx) drivers;
    First you can use the last official Creative Labs' driver for the Audigy series which you can download on the official driver download site here at Creative Labs' site, but you will loose a lot of apps/softwares, but it should work;
    The second one would be the mentioned Daniel_K's driverpack 3.8 for the Audigy series which works pretty good, although I dislike the individual installers/uninstallers for each applications which makes uninstallation of the driver very annoying.
    The third one would be the Project KX driver which is very light in size but very powerful, especially for recording and other music related purposes. There's a learning curve since it really looks different (interfaces for example), but once you have found out how the KX driver works you will be happy you own an genuine Audigy emu0kx soundcard.

    does this card work on windows 8?

    Re: Sound Blaster Xtreme Audio missing Stereo MixK I think I'm having a similar problem with my Windows 7 Professional system.
    I'm am getting sound out of my card.
    When I right click on the "speaker" icon in the task bar I see the following list of 5 options
    Volume Mixer
    Playback Devices
    Recording Devices
    Sounds
    Volume Control Options
    However when I click on "playback devices", "Recording Devices" and "sounds" nothing comes up.
    What I did do is completely uninstall all traces of any installed Creative software and in the device manager did an uninstall for the SB Xtreme Audio Card.
    My recording device is the integrated microphone in the Logitech Quickcam/IM that I have installed. If I go to accessories and click on "sound recorder" it doesn't start up either.
    The other issue that I see is that when I go into Control Panel and click on Sounds, nothing happens.
    Something is definitely going on but I can't seem to track down the cause.

  • Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS and Logitech 5.1 Surround So

    Hello everyone, this is my first post on these forums, so I thought I'd just start out by saying hello.
    I also have a bit of a problem. For the past several months I've had a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS and a set of Logitech X-530 5. Surround Sound speakers hooked up to my computer. For a these past few months, only two of my speakers have been functionable.
    I know they're not broken, because I can plug in separate cables into a certain plug and either my two front speakers will work, my two rear speakers will work, or my center speaker will work. And yes I do have the most recent drivers for my card. :P
    If anyone would be able to help me with this problem, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
    By the way, here's a picture of the X-530 Speakers I'm using, just in case anybody needs to see them for reference:

  • Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS: Listen and play separate trac

    Hi,
    I recently purchased the Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS card for my laptop, however I was wondering if it is possible to play one track and listen to a separate track while the first is playing. The reason being i am using the laptop for mobile dj'ing, so really want to queue up the next track before playing it blindly. If someone could let me know if it's possible and if so how to do it, that'd be much appreciated. Thanks,?Jason

    As you mentioned laptop, I assume you are speaking?of Audigy 2 Zs Video Edition (USB) or Notebook (PCMCIA)?None?of?Audigys?is?good for this type of use?but, you could try with some DJ software as like the Nati've Instruments Traktor in ASIO mode.- http://www.nati've-instruments.com/index.php?id=djline?(demo available)?jutapa

    What's the model number of your soundcard? Certain series of Sound Blaster doesn't support adjusting bass and treble so you have to use the Graphic Equalizer software instead to adjust it.
