Windows/Creative sound sliders don't change sound?

Been trying to figure this one for?weeks. I have the Fatality Xfi attached to the Logitech Z5500 speakers via digital optical cable. In Windows Vista if I click on Playback Devices, it shows Speakers Creative SB X-Fi(Speakers) or SPDIF Out Creative SB X-FI(Ready). While sounds are playing the green bars up and down next to Speakers to show that it's getting sound.
My problem is this. If I click on mute on the little speaker icon in the lower right side of the task bar, it shows the circle with the line throught indicating that sound is muted. However the sounds is still playing. Also if I adjust the sound up and down with the slider in their it doesn't affect the sound level at all. If I click on mixer I CAN change the sounds of the various applications it shows in there, though it's kind of weird.
Also since I can adjust the sound with the main volume slider, I also cannot use the Volume Up/Volume Down or Mute button on my Logitech Illuminated Keyboard.
Been playing around with alot. Seems like it has something to do with the optical connection to my speakers? If I switch the default Playback Device to SPDIF Out, I get some sounds but not all, it does however let me use the Main Volume Slider and Mute button.
I just want to use the main volume slider with the speakers. What am I doing wrong? Is this a driver issue? I've searched the web high and low looking for a solution. Even though I found quite a few people with the same issue nobody has presented me with a solution. Any ideas?
Any help would be greatly appreciatted.

That's a bummer. I'd rather have the sliders than DTS or DDL. Guess I'll connect it with the analog. I so use the PC as a HTPC but my video card (Radeon HD4870) sends sound and video via HDMI to my LEDtv so I don't need the optical cable for the speakers. I just use it to reduce wire clutter. Thanks for the input.

Creative Audigy 2 and Windows Vista: Sound volume turns down when I try to turn it

I have a strange problem with my audio in Vista. I have a Creative Audigy 2 and Creative 6700 speakers. My full system specification is below but please note I did not have this issue in my previous Vista build - its only happening since I did a reinstall. Anyway, when I swich on the speakers using the remote control unit for the 6700 speakers the sound comes on but then it turns down. I have to then increase the volume by a large amount for it to start playing sound again and then turn it down to listening volume. This issue is not application specific - it happens in everything: Winamp, WMP, games, etc etc?I'm using [color="#000000"]Creative Sound Blaster Audigy series Vista Driver 2.2.0002 and I've tried reinstall several times. I've tried doing diagnostic startup etc using msconfig in case something was conflicting and its still happening.

Have you checked the volume button? It might be physically stuck. To determine whether a hardware repair is needed, you need to follow these steps:
1. Try doing a hard reset:
Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
After that: test the device to see whether the issue is solved.
2. If the issue is not solved, you should backup the device and restore it as new.
In that case, use: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup.
If the issue persists after restoring as new, you should offer the device for service.
If you get specific error messages/codes in iTunes when updating/restoring, check this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694 for causes and solutions
Good luck

P6N Diamond - Creative Sound Card / Windows 7

Hello everyone,
Couldn't find anyone else with a similar issue so figured I'd post here. I'm using a P6N Diamond (obviously) and here's the issue:
Originally this PC had Windows XP installed. When I upgrade to Windows 7 x64 Pro(1-2 months ago), my computer became unable to recognize the integrated Creative sound card. I've tried the following:
1.) Using provided driver discs (Using Vista x64 drivers, closest match)
2.) Downloading various Creative programs, drivers, etc. to add drivers
3.) Checked MSI's site and downloaded various drivers, updates etc.
None of the following worked. I primarly use a USB headset, which works perfectly. However, I'd like to be able to use speakers as well (used to be able to do it when Windows found my soundcard).
Anyone have any ideas for resolving this? I really appreciate any help, thanks!

If I follow you correctly, this problem only starts after you have upgraded to Windows 7, right? If that is the case, it is obviously a driver issue. Though you have tried many drivers and it seems that they are not the right ones. What you can do is to try contact MSI support and see if they can help you.

My Past, Present & Future with Creative Sound Blaster cards

I wrote a small product review of a Z-series card i regrettably purchased and creative responded. I replied to them and copied+pasted it here. First and foremost please understand this is just an open letter talking about my love for and mostly positive experiences with the Sound Blaster line of cards since the mid-late 1990s.
Attached is an annotated picture of almost all the Creative hardware I've bought over the years.
Take a good long look at that picture. Think about how many songs have been played through those devices, think of how many movies have been heard through those devices, think of how many games made me jump out of my seat from sound effects heard through those devices, and lastly think how many thousands of hours this amounts to.
STOP READING and LOOK at that attached PICTURE.
I use the word 'almost' because it does not include the card I recently purchased off e-bay, which was listed as (and was) mint condition new, and cost me $250.... a Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Champion Series card.
If the direction Creative is going to continue to go is the direction that it's been going over the past handful of years this will be the last Creative product myself or anyone i influence or make purchasing decisions for will ever buy. Being in my mid 30s I'd say you'll miss out on at least another 20-30+ years of future product purchases.
Below is my address of your reply to my review of your product in a piece by piece layout:
"Based on user feedback we've done the following:
- Take up less disk space"
I run two 128GB SSDs in a hardware based (LSI Logic 8704ELP) raid-0 array so the disk footprint of drivers and software is important to me but whatever space you reduced your driver to is trivial.
%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Creative\(ALchemy, AudioCS AutoMode Switcher, Console Launcher, Shared Files, ShareDLL,THX Console, Volume Panel)
in total take up about 100MB of space. reducing this means NOTHING because it does not allow for more hefty software (Games or Design/Drafting/3D-Modelling Software) to be installed. Now if say your driver and software had a 1GB footprint and you reduced it to 500MB that would be significant because 500MB is enough space to account for one or 2 of average installation footprints of the products in the Adobe Creative Suite. Reducing the size from 100MB to 25MB/50MB/75MB is moot.
"- Optimized controls for touch screens"
This point is amusing, why? because you are making the same mistake Microsoft made with Windows 8 & Metro. Most people who buy a creative sound card are putting it in a PC and do not have a touchscreen. I don't manage a lot of computers but the ~200 i am responsible for bypassed Windows 8 (maybe even Windows 9, we'll see) and either moved from Windows XP to Windows 7 or they will be staying with Windows 7 for the foreseeable future. The touch centric design of Windows 8 is a significant part of this decision despite all the things Microsoft did that i think are steps forward (like better native support for multiple display devices to name one example).
"- Streamlined the interface so it's easier to navigate (removed "modes" and have all controls available regardless what you want to use the card for)."
Dumbing-down a product to reach a greater audience is walking the fine line of Quality vs. Quantity. Why you've sacrificed significant Quality to increase Quantity i do not know. While I will agree making 1 interface instead of 3 can be a potential step forward you did more than streamlining the user interface- you removed prominent, useful, and important features.
"- Better tie in with the Windows audio sub-system."
Through out the decade the only problems I experienced with Windows and my Creative products i can count on one hand. The first would be when Microsoft abandoned DirectSound and moved to an UAA based audio stack in Vista forward and your company dropped the ball and Daniel_K picked it up and made working drivers for your products and you went after him... I was one of the people who used his working drivers to make your sound card work properly when you failed to do so. Second was the fact that you people charged for ALchemy when the move to Vista occurred... this was truly a sh*ty thing to do. The third was the X-RAM causing a BSOD (STOP 0x50 - PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA) in windows on a regular random basis because of your device drivers and the best working solution was to disable using the X-RAM on the card- a selling point of the cards to begin with (albeit in years prior).
Allow me to elaborate some more while I have time since it's sunday night and the family is busy with other things and will be off to bed thereafter.
Creative's device drivers and software has always been a point of contention. You don't make the install discs available for download on your website for starters. This is a fascist move on your part. Your driver installation procedure and reliability is hit or miss. I personally have not had a lot of trouble with the drivers (only a few hiccups here and there) but i have read on the forums where all sorts of other people have (I'm not in disagreeing that their problems are partially their fault, but that's the price of running Windows instead of buying a Mac). My experience with your driver software suites over the years have been mostly (A) "When it works as expected it's sheer aural bliss beyond that of any other sound card in existence! THIS is why 'Sound Blaster Compatible' was what other companies put on their products, because Creative set the standard for everyone else to meet." but also sometimes (B) "everything installed and worked fine but now something is corrupt and not all the speakers have sound coming from them or the sound is all screwed up and the driver won't uninstall/reinstall/update correctly because it's corrupt and it's not deleting the driver files because windows has the files locked and safe mode isn't helping so now i have to physically remove the card from the PC and try to completely clean out my system of the Creative software. I can't believe they went after Daniel_K the way they did, i wish he'd come back and fix their drivers. Now which box did i put that install cd in...."
There are 2 reasons I've bought Creative sound cards for over a decade now. CMSS 3D when listening to music while working throughout the day and EAX in videogames at night.
I remember the moment when I experienced EAX for the very first time. I was in college and over at a friend's place. He had just got a new game called Thief: The Dark Project. I remember him telling me about something new called EAX and that only Creative cards had it and that it was supposed to be awesome. About an hour later after watching and HEARING him play Thief I was hooked. Creative had secured a place for it's hardware in my budget for every PC i built from that day forward.
Being that I've worked from home for about a decade now I will listen to music while I work and get in an hour or so of gaming at night as time allows. Straight off the bat the first time i ticked that box for CMSS 3D long long ago and heard music coming from every speaker in my home office i was amazed and overwhelmed. Then when you introduced the ability to set the individual speaker distance and volume from the listening position it was the icing on the cake. I was surround by sound. It was SHEER AURAL BLISS. This feature called CMSS 3D would become the second reason I purchased and recommended Creative sound cards for the decade to come.
As i stated in my review, the only reason i bought a new sound card was because the motherboard I was purchasing had no PCI slots (I remember when motherboards stopped having ISA slots as well...). Before making my purchase I read. I read a lot. I read about the changes you made with the X-Fi Titanium HD and then the Recon3D, and the more i read the more a feeling of apprehension began to take hold. Then i got to reading about the Z-series and read about some of the positive changes between it and the Recon3D line of cards and I became a bit more hopeful.
Sadly my apprehension was spot on... Listening to music was a worse experience when compared to my X-Fi Platinum (or even my old Audigy 2)... and did not even come close to justifying the purchase of the card compared to just using the integrated sound capabilities of my motherboard, an ASRock Z87 OC Formula/ac. But none the less I still had EAX to fall back on right? wrong... I installed a couple games, some new and some old, some with EAX and some without, and for about 2 weeks i played a bit of each one to see how the card handled new and old games. Sadly EAX compatibility didn't even matter because it was overshadowed by poor directional audio reproduction... that same front center speaker that was overbearing when listening to music was noticeable when gaming to the point that it was negatively affecting my gaming experience. I tweaked and toggled every setting i could and even uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers and software to try to mitigate this but to my dismay i could not. It was at this point I went weighing my options... and looking for an X-Fi Titanium (NON-HD!) and suffered the capitalist price gouging that occurs in such supply & demand situations... at least i talked the guy down from his original asking price of $300. I bit the bullet on this because chances are this is going to be the last Creative card i ever own...
I've had my Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Champion Series installed for just over a week now. Everything sounds precise and as it should when you have a quality piece of hardware paired with quality software. Directional audio in games comes from all speakers appropriately and not excessively from the front center speaker unless it's supposed to. Ambient music floats through the air all through out the day creating that familiar feeling of sheer aural bliss as it did before. The only downside is I'm getting to experience the problems other people have with this card (strange loud static-like warble EMI type noise coming from speakers, unaffected by windows volume control) but I have found a work around that I'm using on the rare occasion this happens (disable the device in device manager, re-enable device in device manager).
Chances are what i've written above is perhaps an opening soliloquy of the requiem for the Creative Sound Blaster, the card that defined an industry and the company that turned it's back on it. I don't expect anything to come from this letter and I don't expect a meaningful reply from you. You'll probably write me justifying your decisions you've made with your product line and offer some false sincerity about how you are happy i am enjoying my price-gouged discontinued soundcard i had to buy off e-bay because your current line of products are not a step back in your eyes because of the profits they turn. This generation of customers who buy your Platinum HD, or Reco3D or Z-series line of cards probably oblivious to what they are missing out on (through no fault of their own), funny how the bliss of ignorance works and lines your pockets...
It saddens me that i had to buy a discontinued product off e-bay because it's a better product than what your company currently offers. I wish this wasn't the way things turned out. When you dropped the fun presets and finite control of the EAX effects during the transition from the Audigy to the X-Fi line of cards I noticed but since they were not the main reason I owned a Creative card I tolerated it. But now you've gone and ruined the features that were the reasons i bought Creative cards, and this I will not oblige.
My Creative Hardware.jpg

@To the OP:
I own a X-Fi Elite Pro for the past 8 years now.
Since there, this card has faithfullly seen me through 3 major PC upgrades.
I'm currently at a point where, very sadly, much of what you've described is also weighing on my decision to not go for a Z line.
@Creative:
I do hope you're listening and can come up with a solution to a simply design feature - namely a fully working Stereo Surround, like the one that was available in the X-Fi line of cards via CMSS-3D.

Multiple Creative sound devices in one system

-Multiple Creative sound devices in one systemrHello community, I recently tried to get two X-Fi Titanium PCI-Express cards to work in one computer. One card worked well. As soon as i plugged in the second card and booted the system, i got a quite reliable bluescreen SYSTEM_EXIT_OWNED_MUTEX, which indicates improper handling of shared ressources by the driver. I performed extensi've testing on two different machines with both Windows 7 64-Bit and Windows XP 32, freshly installed and patched, latest drivers, no other software or sound hardware present, but the problem persisted. I contacted support an was told that a such a combination is neither tested nor supported by Creative. So now I am stuck with two expensi've cards, that don't work together. Is there any information from Creative which devices will work flawlessly together if combined? For example the X-Fi Go!. It's USB. How many of those will work together in one system? (if more than ) Can I plug in a Soundblaster Play USB device simultaniously? Does Creative test for things like these? And why ist there a "Select Audio Device" option in the Creative Console application if multiple cards don't work?

Hi Suresh
Generally it is not possible to activate two industry solution in
switch framework .(transaction SFW5) ..But we can make the activation
of industry solution as client dependent and client independent . if we
make it as client dependent then we can activate different industry solution
for each client
To know whether the activation is client dependent or client
independent you need to check table SFWPARAM for any entries. If it
does not have any entry then its client independent (repository changes)
It affects all the clients. Please make entry in table SFWPARAM
and try !
I hope this information helps

Windows 7 sound configuration

Hello everyone~
Labview 2012 seems having very limited accessibility to Windows sound configure and mixer control. There are 2 major limitations:
How could Labview control the mixer in 64bit Win7 or Win8?
How could Labview change the Windows Sound Device Configuration? Such as default number of channels, level, balance, sampling rate and bit depth.
These functions has been discussed in WinXP system but the old day solutions seems not working on Win7 and Win8.
Is there any Labview expert have these solution?
Thanks in advance.

Sound Blaster Live 24-bit PCI Sound Card and Creative Sound Blaster PCI Card not detect

Ok here is my problem. I bought a Creative Sound Blaster PCI sound card a while back and it was working fine but recently when I would boot up my computer and try to play music say off of Winamp it says Bad DirectSound Driver. When I check device manager it shows no sound card there and in sounds and audio devices it says no audio device. Now my brother believed this to be a card fault so we went to Frys and bought a Sound Blaster Li've 24-bit PCI card. I uninstalled the old drivers and installed this new one but yet it's the same problem. My assumption was that Windows XP had something conflicting so I reinstalled the OS. It found the card and I installed the latest drivers?off of this site but now it does the same thing yet again with a fresh install of Windows XP. The card has been in all 3 of my PCI slots and it will detect it for a moment but then acts like as if the card was never installed. Like I never installed a sound card into the computer. The onboard audio has been disabled for a while now but I do not know what the problem could be. I did Scan for hardware changes but it doesn't show up. Sometimes when the card is detected if I do scan for hardware changes and the card is there it will just magically disappear from the device manager as if it was never there. Even when I try to load music and I see the card is detected it will not play the music and ends up locking up Winamp to the point that sometimes will go BSOD. Now I would really like to find out what the issue is because I am planning this weekend to swap out my motherboard with a duplicate board to see if that will end up fixing the problem but I want to find out if there is any other way to fix this issue. Thank you.Message Edited by AuXoIs on 02-25-200808:28 PM

Hmm what other options is there for the bios on PCI slots?Also anything you connect to the motherboard can have oxidization (I think its that) build up on the connection. Check the connector on the card and get a eraser (Pen eraser is better) and give it a good cleaning. The connector might have alot of build-up on it and you can see it by a dark yellowy colour. I cleaned my graphics card and ram connectors after they got alot of the build-up on them. On a older computer my graphics stopped working and this fixed it. Also I went away for a while (like a month) and came back to see that my puter didn't display anything. Opened it up and saw that the graphic card had alot of corrosion? on the card connector and in the slot. Does that if you computer is turned of for a long time. Had a heck of time trying to clean the slot out. One other thing that it could be is the sound card is faulty. I had an audigy 2 and it died a while back . It picks it up and then try and use it computer freezes and the after restart it's not there anymore. Hope it's not that problem. Hope this gives you something to go by.

Creative sound card

Please can someone help and give me some advice - i am curently using the Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS -through the pci cardport for music and audio music recording. I bought a replacement laptop but don't have the pci card port to use the same sound card but have an express card port instead, does anyone know if Creative have another type of card for this slot but will do the same quality sound editing/recording job as the Blaster Audigy 2 ZS? Also need to be compatible with O/S Window Vista. Please help, much appreciated!!!!

Information is scarce for end of service life products, you might want to read about the specs here. Alternatively you might want to consider this model instead but you may need to do some searching since it's not available in the UK online store.

Duriong Voice Chat Voice is not Receiving from Creative Sound Card but going correct

Hi!
I have recently faced a problem in my Creative Sounce Card. When i play a sound, no? sound is coming from sound card, No?error message is coming but monitor screen is displaying the sound animations in?Windows media player. I have also tested my speakers & connections and no problem found in it. I also changed the Creative Sound Card Software's settings to default but all in vain. Besides when i?unchecked?the check box ("Only Show Digital Sound") in the Creative Sound Card Software, the analog music is being received, but it is only music without any human voice. The same problem is during voice chat.
Plz help me in this regard.
Thanks in advance.

There is no confusion (anymore) I'm just trying to get the word out that nobody wants to supprt these OEM cards. Not you and not Dell. Does Dell even have the rights to redistibute the apps to work with there versions of your cards? Card works, Drivers Work, No ap
ps.
.see my delima? Just a heads up to anyone else with this problem. I've looked to no avail for a updated set of apps for this OEM card. Really kinda anoyed by this. I mean why can't creative support there own card. I know dell bought it, but it is creative and you made money from it support it. Seems pretty cut and dried to me. Digrunteld Axe

Creative Sound blaster 5.1 prob

Hi all,
I bought a creative sound blaster 5. sound card yesterday to replace my onboard realtek alc655 soundcard hoping that i can hear a sound? from my edifier m3350 5. speakers but it failed me.
I done the creative diagnostic, all had pass. Then I test the speaker, front left have no sounds but there is sound from the subwoofer (voice: "Front left"); center is perfect i can hear it; front right is the same as front left it is coming from the subwoofer. Rear left and rear right have no sounds at all.
This is also my problem with my onboard realtek alc655, i only have a sound with the center/subwoofer and front that is why i buy a creative sound card.
All are connected in proper way,
Green (soundblaster) Green (speaker) Front
Black (soundblaster) Black (speaker) Rear
orange (soundblaster) orange (speaker) Center/subwoofer
thanks in advance,

Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE, 7.1 surround?

What are the latest drivers for Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE, 7.1 surround? I have have tried a lot of drivers and they don t seem to work...

I have a Sound Blaster Audigy SE on Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit operating system. So far this Gateway GT5404 duo core pc is having better audio capabilities with high end games like world of warcraft, with some noticable sound issues (Sigmatel audio). I bought this card to better the audio performance of World of Warcraft and get rid of these issues. I'm not sure if this card is any better than the on-board intergrated sound card on this gateway. Is this just a driver issue with the Audigy SE card? or is my on-board better? After putting it in world of warcraft's sound on the logon screen and throughout the game sound "stretched" from lag from the video card's high end performance (NVidia GeForce 7600 w/latest drivers). Any help or info would really do me good right now. Thanks,?PurePower

I was looking around my WinXP system panel and noticed that some program had changed the PERFORMANCE->ADVANCED->MEMORY USAGE from PROGRAMS (default) to SYSTEM CACHE.
Keep in mind as I detail this to you that this build is only a week old, and I've installed very few programs on it, drivers and test utilities mostly...
Anyway, I change the setting back to the default value (PROGRAMS) and hit OKAY. That very instant, the machine reported detecting new hardware, an Audigy! Given that I already had an A2 installed and mostly functional, this came as quite a revelation.
I checked the Device Manager, and sure enough, there it was. An Audigy was indicated as having been installed in the place of the newer model.
I reboot the computer, and when I revisit the Device Manager, the Audigy2 is back, BUT there is a problem (ROLMAO), the card's firewire adapter is all of the sudden marked as broken, so I uninstall it and reboot.
The machine goes through its startup, and I check the firewire and its okay, NOW, in Device Manager. Good, me thinks.
Then I go back and run 3DMark03, looking for my error message: FMOD error in FSOUND_SetPaused: Not enough memory
The benchmark completes without incident three times and the problem is solved. No more messing with my memory timings or sound accelartion. Hurrah!
In closing, I want to apologize to anyone whose patience that I may have tested with this mini-testament.
I have no idea why this series of cards http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=290217 is so difficult to configure for the K8N, but its really kind of a nightmare, IMO, and MSI really needs to take a look at it.
Please guys, there is a problem here, so would you please check it out for us.
Thanks,
Moe

A problem with ALL creative sound cards i am hav

All creative sound cards that i've used, three i think in the past year. SB Li've, SB Audigy 2 ZS, and the Audigy 2 Zs Platinum Pro. Every time i connect speakers or headphones to the jack, i get really REALLY low sound output, also before windows loads or shuts down i hear a "bump" coming from my speakers/headphones.... I have no idea whats going on....
Specs are:
p4. 3.0
DFI Lanparty 875 rev. B
gig corsair pc4000 dual channel
2x raptor raid 0
SB Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro
ATI Radeon x800pro
Headphones i use are bose acoustic 2 headphones
Speakers are logitech x-530
If anyone has had this happen to them before or if anyone has any possible remedies for this I would really appreciate, if this doesnt help im done with creative sound cards =/
[edit]: forgot to mention this is only for the audio jacks on the sound card itself, on the ZS platinum pro, when i connect to the jack on the hub, the sound is alrightMessage Edited by mrkuku on 06-2-2005 06:36 AM

figured out my problem, my built in sound card drivers were conflicting with the creative drivers. Thought that if i turned off the built in sound card from bios that i wouldn't need to delete the drivers also. Thanks for any that read this and tried to figure it out. Now its working like a charm.

Windows/Creative sound sliders don't change sound?
