I get no sound when I attempt to play *.mid file or from a midi device (Yamaha PSR-170 keyboard). In the MIDI device drop down menu, SBLive! MIDI UART is the only option. I can play .wav, .mp3 files no problem. I loaded Voyetra's "Teach me piano". Everything seems to work just fine except that...

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

Ever since I installed an OEM SB Live Value! 5.1, I noticed my system boots up much slower + I have to disable UDMA on my hard drive to eliminate crackles/pops in the sound. I heard that the 5.1 Live is a "bus hog." Is the slow bootup a result of this? Are the Audigy cards any better?

I have had a Soundblaster Audigy Platinum for some time and have had to reinstall my operating system. For months I have been struggling to get my Audigy to pass the speaker test that comes with the software. The only channels that I can actually hear are the front right and left. I have followed...

I've had a Soundblaster Live! Value card for ages, and for the most part have been perfectly happy with it. I'm considering upgrading to an Audigy 2 ZS, but am not sure I need to. Putting aside the 5/6/7.1, better efficiency, and bells and whistles, this is currently what I need it for (and solely...

I am in need of a BCB 3.0 compatible Console 32 application that programs the SB Live 5.1 PCI 32-bit sound card FM-Synthesizer to play a tone at a given duration. Minimal requirements: Using FM-Synthesis (OPL3(2)), generate a tone of 800 Hz for 1 solid second. Executed as a 32-bit Console...

Are the built in effects driven by software or hardware on this card? I would like to know if using these effects take much of my CPU resources. Thanks in advance. D.R.

Hi Can anyone advise how to remove Disk Detector? It doesn't seem to achieve anything apart from preventing me from playing Homeworld 2...! Thanks in advance. JJ (UK)

Hi- Does anyone know of a way to get a 128 bit audigy soundcard to work with 2003 server? If not, do you know of anycards that work w/2003? My onboard sucks, want to upgrade. Thanx.

here's a dumb question: Why doesn't my microphone work? Im using a soundblaster live value card and have a microphone plugged in to the proper input. In volume and recording controls I have made sure that the mic is not muted. I have tried a second microphone just to make sure. Im sure there is...

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...

Anyone have any idea what happened to the Sound Site? Can't find it anywhere, I'm assuming it's down.

Cant get any midi files sound. there is no eroor when I play them. I am at loss to see where the setting may be already switched off?

Hi Sorry about the mistake I made regarding the number of the sound card it should be the creative 1024 5.1 live and I would like to know what would be the very best set of 5.1 speakers that my son could buy for it. THANKS TO ALL IN ADVANCE FROM EDDIE IN SCOTLAND

I want to send one mp3 file to the front speakers and a different one to the back speakers. (I'm a programmer, I want to do this in code not with some utility). Is this possible? DirectX? ASIO (hah!)? WaveOut? Thanks.

Are these groups dead? Why?
