cookiemonster,
Open the surround mixer program and click at the down triangle that's just next to the "?" at the top right hand corner. There's some options there for you to display the volume icon.

Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Sound Card H

I have been using this card for over year now and its a great card. I have all the latest updates for it. But for some reason when i turn on or restart my computer the Creative Volume Control Icon does not come on in the task tray when the computer boots up. It is set in the start up list and in the Surround Mixer settings.
Can some one please help me on this?
Thanks

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?

XFI Sound Card Prob

When I try and run BF2 Sound with Hardware rendering set to Ultra High after a out 20min's of playing All I get is a lot of sataic. I'm using a Creative Labs XFI Fatality Pro Series Sound Card. Latest drivers ( only drivers ). It's the only game that does it & it only does it when I set BF2's sound to ultra High. I have the latest patch for the game ( .4 )
So what could be the problem ?
System Spec:
DFI Lanparty UT NF4 Ultra-D Bios Ver: OCZTony 704-2bta
AMD Opteron 65 .8Ghz
Zalman CNPS9500 Led CPU Cooler
2GB OCZ Platinum Edition EBs 2 x GB
OCZ5002048EBPE-K PC 4000 @ 3-3-2-0 with 2.7v }
ATI Sapphire X800XT ( Stock )
2 Seagate 200gb Dri'ves in Raid 0
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatalty Pro Series
600watt Enermax Noisetaker { EG70AX-VE } {W}

Sorry no one could help you. Assumming you RMA'd it, hopefully when you get a new one back it doesn't do the same thing. I've had my x-fi xtrememusic for about a year, and never really had any problems with BF2 (until I got my RMA'd ati radeon x700pro back ? ),?or BF242 for that matter. Great games, even better w/ X-fi so hope you got it fixed.

Since Vista doesn't work correctly on XFI Pro Elite.. What other sound card solutions do wo

I am not looking for a flame war - just to honestly get some advice from others on what other solid sound cards do you know that work properly when hooking up optical inputs and such and have a wide selection of inputs like the creative xfi elite pro's breakout box. M

Ok an update. I am very persistant - was up to 4am trying to fix this and trying to go through every possible problem. That right there shows there is some serious problems with creative's software and drivers. It is suppose to be easy, not require someone who has a master's degree in computer science 2 hours to sort through the problems. It would help if there was just a clear install guide telling exactly what needs to be done - or better yet - gasp - an installer than actually did all the complicated things for you. (Creative - see Installshield and an expert consultant - they can help you. It will be worth outsourcing your efforts to get a clean view on things. I suspect the people putting these driver packages at creatives have been there a while and have lost perspecti've). It is possible to get the soundcard working to a degree on Vista. Things to realize (the following works if an only if you only have one creative product installed. Otherwise it could screw up your system):?
Make am imagine of your Windows before and after this. Before because its easy to screw things up. After because once you get it working you will never want to do it again.<
Order or find on torrent the Official Vista Install CD [do not install it yet]. Download it. Its large - or order it and pay $9 for shipping and handling. (I think they are paying a courier to hand deli'ver it and also bring me coffee since it is so expensi've). You can not get this from creative's online site. (Imagine that).<
You must uninstall manually everything that creative installs at all before going to next step.<
You must uninstall everything that is nati've audio to your system (e.g. built on the motherboard).<
There must not be other audio drivers or audio software installed.<
After you uninstall all this - make sure you also uninstall creative's drivers, any other drivers of an audio nature, and make sure you check the box that says "delete drivers" when you uninstall.<
REBOOT<
Remove any other audio products from the system if possible. If built on a motherboard - see next step.<
Go into the BIOS. Disable anything that is audio related. Save your settings.<
REBOOT (again).<
Go delete every registry setting that is in your registry hi've using regedit that is creative xfi related. (This can take some time because there are many sub devices, and not everything says "creative" on it.)? Good luck.<
Delete everything in your program files under creative (remember to make sure you do this as an administrator with adminstrator permissions - thanks UAC).<
Delete everything in users/[every user name here that runs on your system]/appdata/local/creative<
Delete everything in users/[every user name here that runs on your system]/roaming/creative<
[another words - delete everything you can find creative related to the xfi] - again be careful if you have more than one creative product - you could screw your system.<
Install the Official Vista CD. Install ALL the software with ALL options. Click yes to a thousands OK yes I agree to install. Make sure you install this with administrati've privliedges.<
REBOOT (again).<
Register (why not - you did everything else)<
Update all the software that it says to update. This will take?a long time because all of the software that is on the CD is out of date. <
Alchemy will not update because you will have just updated a new set of drivers. So...<
REBOOT (again).<
Update all of software again that it says to update. (Creatives update manager works decently).<
Alchemy will finish installing.<
REBOOT (again).<
Do not use control/panel/sound to adjust things - its useless<
Make sure you use the Creative XFI Volume Panel (It is not the same as the Windows Volume). Great job naming this guys... Set what you want... the sound should be working.<
NOTE:? SPDIF seems to be not available in Games (Sorry folks who run PS3 Optical through this device - your SOL - thanks Creative). To do this you must use it in Entertainment mode - but wait... SPDIF is disable by default. You must go to the mixer and enable it.<
Now with this being said - many things still won't be functional. E.g. there is no dolby through SPDIF, etc. Many of the features that were sold with this card - simply are not available in the Vista drivers. Also note that to use the latest Alchemy that is on the web site (not through the updates) you have to hunt down and find beta drivers and install those - which automatically expire later on in the year. Good jobs guys with this too... not very smart creative.<
SO there you have it. I am sure I may have missed a step - so if someone trys this and has a question - I will try to help. This is ridiculous though that someone has to go through this. A Windows service pack for the OS is easier than this. Creative get a clue - - fire some of your developers and get some that can do a decent job programming the drivers after 2 years of alpha's and betas and release - and create a decent install product. I shudder to think of the poor souls who bought more than one creative product. Good luck sorting through the directory, shared files, registry hi'ves, etc. to get your software working. If I hadn't paid a large some of money for this piece of hardware I would have never spent so much time on it. I figure even at $30 an hour - its about $400 in effort just to figure the above out, search through all the registry, hunt through the multiple directories of Vista, download the software, find out which software you have to download, etc. I am posting it here so that the average person who spent a couple hundred bucks on this card doesn't spend hundreds of dollars of time trying to get it to work on Vista.
My advice for newbies to computers - go to best buy - spend $50 for install and tell them to get it all working perfectly in your PC. Best Buy is overpriced on everything now adays anyway... they wanted $40 for a hdmi to dvi converter when you can order one online for $5. They seem to be the 7- of Electronics.
Please creative - clean up your act.

Enabling same Line out on my sound card (XFI Music)

3Enabling same Line out on my sound card (XFI Music) Hello all,
This must be possible! My main problem here is that I cannot find anyway to clone my main output, let me explain.
I have my digital piano plugged into Line in
I have my headphones plugged into the first Line out (these work fine)
I have my TV (plugged in via 3.5mm jack) plugged into line out 2 (the one next to the green one)
My TV is setup as a second monitor so I can watch films etc. All I want to do is get what I hear in my headphones on the television at the same time. I don't want to have to plug my TV into the green lineout everytime I want to use it.
While we're on the subject, is there anyway I can remap the inputs, at the moment if I wanted to plug in my digital piano and a mic at the same time I can't. The irony is I upgraded from my absolute rubbish Realtek AC97 onboard audio device which could do all of the above. Surely this is possible?
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Trinitrotoluene

Can Creative confirm if DDL will be officially enabled on all XFi Sound cards at a

There's an old post in another thread which indicates that Dolby Digital Li've! would be supported on all Creative XFi sound cards - and support would be coming in August for $4.72.
Can someone from Creative comment on this? I don't think the X-Fi series Driver 2.8.0004 has this support yet.

Hi,
See my comment on your other post.

Rear sound goes to front speaker with DDL/DTS Connect (Xfi Platinum)

DRear sound goes to front speaker with DDL/DTS Connect (Xfi Platinum)T Hey there,
I just installed the newest modded driver from [url="http://forums.creative.com/t5/Sound-Blaster/X-Fi-Auzen-2-20-0002-0-RC4-2-dated-5th-November-2009/td-p/540790">here[/url] and now I have the problem that when using DDL/DTS Connect (yes I have it activated!): the rear left channel gets output on my front left speaker, and the rear right goes to front right. My externaldecoder is correctly identifying the output stream as DD/DTS and the front speaker and subwoofer works fine. Also when using my Xbox 360 the sounds correctly get to the rear speakers, so this is likely not a problem of my decoder.
Anyone had a similar problem to this? Any idea why this happens?
My system:
Windows 7 x64
Intel Core2Quad Q6600
4 GB RAM
nVidia Geforce 9800 GTX+

H I noticed this doesn't just happen with DDL/DTS Connect. The same behaviour happens when I connect my headphones to the plugs on the back of my computer. The rear plugs don't output anything, while the front plugs have "double" output.
I tried all kinds of different drivers, always removing the previous ones and restarting before trying a new one. Right now I'm with the official 2.8.003 X-Fi driver.
Please, somebody help!

Want To Purchase Creative Sound card(XFi, Audigy Series) plz sugg

Hi,I want to purchase a new sound card. but i am confused with the wide range of creative products. my purpose of purchasing new sound card is music & games.please can u suggest which card i should purchase. i have creative 6. sound system. these are the list of sound card please suggest me which one to buy :-.X-Fi Elite Pro2.X-Fi Fatalty3.X-Fi Platinum4.X-Fi XtremeMusic5.Audigy 46.Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS.
I want a sound card which has digital output, so that i can upgrade my speaker later.
ThanksManish

Audigy 2 ZS provides best cost/performance ratio. It is suitable for all modern games and delviers great gaming audio experience. X-Fi is waste of money. These card are good, yes but too expensi've and are not so powerful as Creative claims. Oh, and they come with awful software with no updates. Nevermind crappy MediaSource...
X-RAM is useless. There is not a single one evidence of claimed by Creative Labs performance gain when X-RAM is being used. Correct me with a link for any review if you like. Oh, and good luck with looking for one.Message Edited by crazyandlazy on -24-200606:29 PM

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.

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?

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.
