XFI Platinum mic issue

Hi I recently purchased a XFI pLatinum sound card for my custom built computer that i just made like a month ago...and i cant seem to get the mic to work on my AHS55 altec lansing headset or anyother headset that i have tried. I use it on teamspeak client II and all of my friends say that they cant here me but ts says that there is nothing wrong with mic. I have it plugged into i believe is mic2/line2 (the front dri've panel) and i have tried the back but when i go to test it doesn't recoginize that i am even talking when i test just sitts there not getting any sound at all...also i can hear myself talk like the mic is echoing or something like that...
cpu: amd x2 4600+
sound card: xfi platinum
vga: 256mb bfg 7900gt oc
mem: corsiar ddr2 xms2 2gb (6400)
mobo: gigabyte ga-m59sli-s5

Yes, the power goes directly into the rack (2 in the picture), otherwise it doesn't work. [img"]http://img382.imageshack.us/img382/7563/iodri'vetw4.jpg">

Vista x64 / Logitech Orbit MP / XFi Platinum problem confirmed... PLEASE RE

I was wondering why my 7. option disappeared from my speakers configuration option. Turns out another person had the same issue with his computer and found out that unplugging his Orbit MP fixed the problem. (It was limiting his sound to 5.) Well I had the same configuration but took it a step further to disable the Logitech Orbit recording device in device manager.Problem solved! Im not sure if this is a Vista, a CL, or Logitech problem. I figure I'd throw this out there to let everyone know. Problem reproduced with: XFi Platinum w/ optical out going to external receiver 7.Logitech .5 Quickcam DriversXFi 2_5_0004 drivers (the newest ones) Would like to hear everyone else's comments on this. Thanks.

It's funny how some people say you can enable 5. with vista 64 using alchemy but for 10 days now I have yet to get a response.

Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum - Speaker issues not covered by FAQs

FSoundblaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum - Speaker issues not covered by FAQs? ?
Greetings..
Running into a bit of a issue here I can't seem to fix. I've gone through the troubleshooting guides and FAQs already and they aren't resolving the issue.
My normal setup is a couple of desktop speakers plugged to the rear of the card through the standard ports (non-digital) and a headset with mic plugged to the device in front that includes volume controls for both mic and speakers.
I've just did a complete reinstall of Windows XP (32 bit) including everything up through SP3 and a reinstall of the drivers and associated software applications for the card as well.
The problem I am having is that I can no longer make the rear speakers (desktop speakers) play when plugged in. The 2 headset speakers still play just fine that are plugged in the front however.
What should I do to resolve this issue so that I can have both the desktop speakers and headset speakers both playing? I'm fairly sure I'm just missing a setting somewhere but for the life of me I can't figure where to fix this.
Thank you,
Culann HS

JRe: Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum - Speaker issues not covered by FAQs0 I'm afriad that the CMSS3D option did not work? ? I still cannot get any speakers to play out of the rear of the soundcard.
As I said before, the goal is to try to get sound to play out of both the headset and the speakers attached to the rear of the soundcard simuntaneously.
The headset is plugged into one of those devices in the front that is in a 5 & /4" bay that has the individual knobs for adjusting volume for the headset and outbound levels for the microphone.
The speakers are plugged into the back of the soundcard and do not play any sound in any of the sockets, starting from the firewire port and counting 3 over.
Any suggestions? I? thought it might have something to do with the setting of the speakers from control panel - > Sounds and Audio Devices -> Advanced and picking the right choice there. No luck however. Same for the Creative Speaker Settings as well.
I'm at wits end and I'd be very thankful to whoever can resolve this for me. =)

XFI Platinum and Windows 200

Hi there,
Im looking forward for a new XFI Platinum or Elite Pro but in the system requirements only appears windows XP; I have windows 2000 installed and dont wanna change to XP, has anybody an XFI soudcard working with Windows 2000? Is it working ok? Any kind of latency in sounds and recording audio or Midi?
Please write me to [email][email protected]][email protected][/url]
Thanks in advance

Headsets or microphones with a USB connection cannot be connected to the input connections on a sound card directly. Instead, they must be connected to a USB port on a PC.
They are treated as a separate audio device by Windows. They will be listed as a separate audio device in Device Manager as well as in Windows Multimedia panel. To adjust the volume of the headset or the microphone, use Windows Volume Control.

Problem with XFI platinum fatal1ty sound from panel but not from c

Hi
I just got an XFI platinum fatalty card with front panel, I have only been able to get sound out of the ports on the acctuall card for about 3 minutes then it screetched and went off. Since then the most I can get is an EXTREEMLY quiet (I need to turn up my speakers and the card volume to full) and distorted sound from my center and rear left speaker (5. set). However the wierd thing is when I plug in the headphones into the front panel it works perfectly, the thing is if i switch it back to speakers i have to restert before the headphones will work again.
I have tried to update the drivers but there are no newer ones, I figure I have it seated correctly or I would have no sound from the panel, I just dont know what to do.
its plugged into a Asus Crosshair nForce 590 SLI AM2 Motherboard, I have tried it in 2 different PCI slots and nothing changes, I'm running XP.
Help please, it would be much appreciated, I went through hell to get this card deli'vered and not its not working properly!!!
Any ideas?Message Edited by C4TS on -09-20072:42 AM

Is there anybody with any idea what the problem might be?

Is anyone having Mic issues with iPhone 5?

Is anyone having Mic issues with iPhone 5? Speakerphone works but not the mic, on phone calls and memos.
Took it to local Genius campus and after taking off the back screen and case, they blew air into the mica and it worked for about 20 mins.
I can't have a ready can of air around every time the mic goes out.
Anyone else had similar issues?

I am having a similar problem. I had the iPhone 5 delivered yesterday. On most of the calls I tried, the person on the other end could hear me just fine on speakerphone, but not on the regular mic. It was garbled, or I would cut in and out. I could always hear the other person clearly.
I just got back from a Genius Bar appointment where they gave me an entirely new phone. The issue exists on this one also, though now it seems like the audio is more muffled than garbled or spotty. Again, speakerphone works, and I can hear the other person clearly.
I had originally restored backup from my 3GS, but before I went to the Genius Bar I restored to factory settings just to be sure it wasn't a software issue (it wasn't, apparently). I did not restore from the old phone for this new handset either.
Thanks for any suggestions...frustrating, for sure!

XFi Platinum Not Detected

XFi Platinum Not DetectedMOkay, so I just?received?a XFi platinum from a friend. Anyways, the problem with the card is that when I put the card into my computer, at times my computer would freeze when attempting to install the drivers. I also had troubles at first when the card would not post causing my computer to not post. Anyways, its gone now and I can go into my desktop, I've tried installing the latest .5 drivers from creative and the old .3 drivers, when I do install them, it goes into "updating windows drivers" and goes straight to asking me to restart my computer. When I restart my computer however, it still doesn't work and dxdiag is not picking up a sound card as well. And to add even more bad luck, I can't seem to find the drivers on my computer at all. It seems like the drivers lied to me or something as I can't find them anywhere, I even tried installing them on safe mode as well. Help, I really want quality sound instead of this crappy onboard I am stuck with. I've also unistalled my old onboard drivers and disable onboard sound on my bios so I don't see what the problem is.

Help?

Windows 7 - Audigy 2 ZS Mic Issues

"Windows 7 - Audigy 2 ZS Mic IssuesG Ok, i've seen so many posts on this issue but am now suffering from a headache after spending 3 hours trying everything I could find in google to fix this.
The mic works when it wants. When it does work (rarely), its garbled or lagging like crazy.
I have read, and searched this forums, but besides seeing "Doesn't work" or "Use daniel_k's drivers" i cant find any definate fix (or even links to something new that I haven't already tried).
I tried daniel ks drivers and they seems to be pretty darn good, however it still did not correct my issue.
I record music, and I play games. . . and absolutely love win7. . . but am forced to use XP (limiting my amount of memory used) when I want to do any of the above.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

&Re: Windows 7 - Audigy 2 ZS Mic Issues? The support pack does absolutely nothing to fix the mic issues.
Does this driver improve sound quality or performance? Are there any tweaks?
No, this driver does not improve sound quality nor increase performance.
No, there are no tweaks.
If someone states that its driver improves sound quality and performance, you are being fooled, cheated.
It is even worse that the so called tweaks come from a person who is not EVEN technically acknowledged, does NOT know anything about Windows internals, software engineering and?sound?fidelity that all audiophiles always look for.
If you "feel" the sound better, that is the infamous placebo effect and there is no real proof that any tweaks work.
In fact, I have yet to see a driver that states in its release notes that it improves sound quality.
I've disassembled about every single .SYS driver, .DLL libraries and .EXE executables and found nothing.
There are some undocumented registry values, but nothing related to sound quality or performance.
Would the so called tweaks even exist, they would be in my Support Packs, you can bet that.

Microphone issues on Windows 7/Vista 64-bit (x64) with 4GB?of RAM or more
Audigy driver does not support 64-bit addressing, resulting in random issues with the Microphone (static, robotic or distorted voice, white noise).
Workarounds:
- install the 32-bit (x86) version of Windows
- limit the RAM available to Windows to less than 4GB
- enable Memore Hole in BIOS Setup, if?your motherboard supports the setting

4s microphone has always malfunctioned (people can't hear me) for first 10 seconds of outgoing phone calls. I've synched w healthy Macbook Pro, replaced SIM cards, replaced iPhone 4s, called Applecare (no mic issue admitted). OS problem?

4s microphone has malfunctioned on most outgoing calls for many months. People can't hear me for first 10 seconds of outgoing phone calls. I've synched w healthy Macbook Pro, replaced SIM cards, replaced iPhone 4s when Apple Store thought it was probably a hardware problem, called Applecare (no mic issue admitted). OS problem??? I think so! [Possible] good news: for the past 2 days, since updating to 5.1.1, no one has reported problems hearing me!
I'm concerned Applecare folks did not admit to me that so many other 4s users also has malfunctioning mics.

Why would that even matter?
The device obviously has a hardware issue and is under warranty, take it to Apple for replacement and move on with life. No reason to make things difficult.

WoW Gaming headset mic issue!!

Hello!
I keep hoping to see an updated driver or "fix" for the mic issue. My headset is the wired version and I'm told by my fellow Ventrilo users that they hear an odd "electronic" noise when I talk. Intermittant and unpredictable ... and very annoying. I'm still holding out hope for a fix for this issue but cannot wait too much longer before returning my headset and buying Sony .....
The sound through the earphones is wonderful and what I expected from Creative. The mic issue, however, leaves me very disappointed. One hundred and twenty bucks is a lot of money to spend for a headset only to have a poor quality microphone.
Is the mic on this headset borked? Or can we expect a fix from Creative?

having a mic issue aswell, sometimes if i'm watching a youtube video, the people on skype can hear the video through my mic, yes the headset is on my head when they can hear it.
I've tried the 8% trick but when I do that, they can hardly understand me on skype, come on creative, why don't you just make your products like you should. Constantly had issues with my Fatalty headset aswell and now it's the same, but with a headset that costs 00 euros more, so creative, more support would be great...

XFi Platinum - RCA Jacks - Arrrgggghh

On the recommendation of my local PC specialist I purchased the XFi Platinum for my music production needs. I currently own an M-Audio card but no Vista drivers are available so I was looking forward to sinking my teeth into something new. However, on getting the new PC home I found that my Fostek monitors have no where to plug into the card. They are powered speakers with standard RCA Jacks. When the Xfi was recommended to me I noticed some RCA Jacks on the front panel and thought all was sweet. Am I missing something? Is there a way to get these monitors working with the XFi or is it a lost cause? I fear I may have to resort to some cheap Logitech things to get me up and going. Please, someone, show me the light......

How come people buy sound cards and NOT read the info/instructions?When I looked at the I/O dri've bay for mt X-Fi Platinum I could see that it said L-Aux IN 2-R and to me that says ?INPUT and not output and anyway, why should anyone expect there to be RCA connectors for connecting speakers to be on the front?.ALL the speakers I have ever owned have always had regular jack plugs.

Xfi platinum prob

Greetings.
I removed a fan from my chipset Nforce4 to put a zalman, i rebooted my computer,
and since that i can have no sound out of the PCI device of my Xfi platinum.
The front panel works fine and i get the sound, but i plugged my speakers on the rear as usual, and now it doesnt work, even with the phones i use on the front panel...
I tried to reboot, to reinstal drivers, and nothing change...
Could you help me please ?

well it has nothin to do with the zalman (but i want to get one too, is it the gold color one? how is it's) but besides that since u opened your case up and then it started, try taking your card out and vacuuming the PCI slot, the card, make sure all dust is clean, i opened my case once and my audio was horrible after but its because the dust jumped around and got into places, i blew it out and it was fine, give that a try, also blow out the ports too.
