Hi I was wondering if any one can clear up my problem. I have an audigy which on my old system (Tbird900, Via KT166 chipset) the volume thru the analogue and digital outputs sounded the same. But with my new system (XP2700, Gigabyte GA-7N400Pro2 mb, Nforce2 chipset) the sound out of the digital...

Hi, My front left speaker works fine when playing any kind of music, or even a DVD's but when I try to play a movie in divx format with AC3 codec it's just silent. All other speakers work fine, and I mean in the AC3 mode where you can really hear a closing door behind you in the back speaker(s),...

hi (and sorry for my english) i have a sound blaster live card in a computer under XP Pro. I just bought a 2.1 sound system (altec 621). I had used the creative mixer to put the correct settings but there is no possibility to choose a system with 2 satellites and a subwoofer, and the only choice...

(I've just stumbled onto this group, so please accept my apologies if I'm asking a typical newbie question, or if this topic has been addressed at length in other posts.) I had an Soundblaster Audigy 2 Platinum card installed a few months back, and while I'm real happy with the quality of...

What is the AC'97 codec. ???? I have to run this q'ion by you , cuz I am stumped. Usually I have no problem with drivers, but I cannot for the life of me, get my onboard sound on another machine, to work. (it was ok before format,and I have 2 diff cd devices to test for sound) the owners manual...

Does anyone know whether or not an Audigy 2 card will function correctly with my existing Live Drive IR? I have read an article at http://alive.singnet.com.sg/audigy/review/audigy-drive.htm which states that the Audigy 1 works fine with the drive, but does anyone know about Audigy 2? Cheers -- Mark

Hello. About two weeks ago, I installed the SoundBlaster Live 5.1. I had had an onboard sound card before that, and pointed all audio devices to use this new card. Everything worked fine for a bit, then suddenly I started having problems. The computer froze a couple times, and blue screened me a...

New mail in my hotmail inbox, using outlook express is always in duplicate, i.e. I have 2 copies of every mail wtf!!! anyone experienced this/ know of a fix? TIA Sean

My PC is: 3 OS: Windows2000, XP and 95. HD 40GB and 256MB RAM Soyo mainboard with AMD K62/400 Video NVidia Riva TNT 16MB There is no problem with my card under Windows95, but when I use 2000 and XP, there is bad sound when I read my HD or CD Rom, it sounds like little beeps from my sound card....

I just upgraded with the new drivers from Nov. 2003, but I'm still getting crashes like I did with previous ones. Does anyone have a fix for this besides going back to my original CD drivers? These newer ones offer better clarity and performance, but I've had 2 crashes in the past day.

Hi, My laptop computer supports 5.1 surround sound (at least the manual says it does), but does not have separate outputs for each of the speakers. It does, however, have a digital coaxial output - would this output all of the individual signals for each of the speakers? If so, is there any device...

Hi. I have Windows XP and I have the Sound Blaster Platinum Card. It works okay and is detected by XP, however, the software doesn't seem to be very well. The Creative Launcher at the top seems very unstable and flickers a lot. So much so, that it is not usable. You can't click onto it...

Looks like the problem was having the card in the wrong slot. I'm now getting sound, but the Creative diagnsotic fails. I installed all components in what looks like the latest version of the driver... LiveDrvUni-Pack(ENG).exe When I run the diagnostic, it says that the following have...

Hi. I've been trying to get my SBLive 5.1 Player(?) working under Windows 2000. First off, I tried using the original CD (the card was bought a couple of years ago). From the autorun dialog, I installed the drivers and the main SB apps, and then rebooted. When I tried the SB diagnostics, it said...

Sorry if this seems very simple to the experts out there. I want to get 5.1 sound out of the above card. What speakers will I need? DoI need a decoder? Which output would I use? Thanks Graham

I'm currently using a Creative Audigy but I'm thinking of upgrading to the Audigy 2. I only have a two speaker setup so is the Audigy 2 worth buying? Would there be any difference in it to the Audigy when used with just two speakers? Upon saying that, I may buy the Inspire 6.1 but I don't have a...

I am recording guitar & vocals using a soundblaster live 5.1 card, cool edit pro & an audiobuddy preamp on a 466 mhz computer with 256 RAM. I get static & crackeling (sort of like an old LP record) whether I record through my Sennheiser mic or feed the output from the electric guitar straight into...

hi. i've been using santa cruz turtle beach sound card for awile now, i wish i had never heard of the sound blaster live it replaced. i came close to goin with audiology 2 but am convinced creative labs software/drivers are still bloated junk. mabey i'll "move up" to audiology 2 someday...er...

I'm running XP Pro SP1 and Cambridge Soundworks FPS 2000 speakers. I go to the Windows control panel and set Quadraphonic or even Surround speakers, check the box in the Creative to Synchronize with control panel, restart and nothing. All the sound card will see are desktop speakers. In the...

I've put in an order for an MP3 player at Amazon that does line-in recording, but have just come across the Creative Labs Soundblaster MP3+ (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000A14S4/026-2356576-5556416) which seems to allow you to encode straight to MP3 too - and at higher bitrates than...
