I am fairly certain accidentally shorted two or more pins on the CT4830 cards AUD_EXT connector. The computer immediately froze when it happened. And ever since the card freezes the machine as soon as it tries to access card drivers. The card is detected by BIOS and Windows but if drivers are...

Can anyone tell me how I can disable the sounds that play when the Creative soundblaster starts up? I'd like to be able to switch on my computer without any noise - easy to disable windows sounds but the creative one puzzles me. I've got Audigy platinum live. Thanks Nick

My MegaWorks 510D speakers have become horribly distorted. I know that it's not related to my computer, sound card, operating system or software because I get the same level of distortion when I feed an analog signal through the AUX port with the speakers completely disconnected from the computer,...

Hi there, I recently bought an SB Live 5.1 and everything is working ok except for when I try to record from the microphone. It sounds clear when talking through it, but when I play back the recording its very distorted. The drivers are all installed ok, and have checked the record from setting...

Hi, I just bought Audigy 2. I thought it had ASIO 2 support, but it seems that it doesn't. On the other hand, Audigy 2 ZS does? I did the drivers update, but it's still only asio 1.0. My question is: Does the Audigy 2 have ASIO 2 support through drivers update or do I have to get Audigy 2 ZS to get...

I have a SoundBlaster Live! 5.1 Platinum which I have connected to a AV Amp via the Optical Outs on the Live Drive. This can then be used to watch DVDs and have the amp decode the signal to DTS or DD5.1 etc. Is there any way I could get an EAX signal from games to pass the right signal down this...

Every sound on my computer sounds like it's in a cave, maybe it's the reverb effect or something. How do I reset EAX effects? Don't have the original Creative CD.

I've got an Asus P4T motherboard and a SB Live 5.1, running on Gentoo linux. I get these annoying digital "tears" whenever I play sound (mp3, dvd, divx, etc) from my machine, I can't explain how. I didn't get them when using Slack 9 or some releases of Red Hat (I can't recall what versions, it has...

For the past month, my PC has suddenly rebooted itself about once every six or seven days. When XP has restarted, I get the usual "Your system has recovered from a serious error, would you like to report it blah blah blah ."

Have you heard of the ESP 1010 audio interface?. Its very similar in function to Layla3G with 2 mic pre's and 6 balannced TRS inputs, 8 outputs, rack mount and PCI interface but no auto sensing mic/TRS input and no well recognized name I guess. It can be had for $319 new w/warranty vs $414 for...

Anyone tried a USB external soundcard to improve sound quality of a laptop before plugging into an amp? Any brands/models suggested? Thanks Rock

I want to buy my son a sound card to use with Cubase - he wants to record multi-track wav and MIDI. Is the Soundblaster Extigy USB any good - how does it fare when considering latency when multi-tracking? How does it compare with the Audigy Platinum kit? Any useful comments welcome. TIA.
