GERv / AKUMA ANYoNE HELP !!!!!!!!1

OK !. I bought the audigy 2 zs... It is in mint condition, no damage, transit was safe ect, installed the latest drivers, ect.. NOw here is the problem, on my speakers (creative t7700's), all I hear is this horrid scratching noise, and faintly in the background you can hear the music, just barely, and it sounds distorted and as if it is fluxing..... I have fooled around with the channels to no avail, muted the other outputs ect..to no success.... & it is running in analog with the speakers, not in digital mode (like it should be for my speakeras...).. The card works great on my headphones, sounds quite decent I must say, but when I hook up my speakers well..... I get that issue.... If you have any solutions, please post in detail, I have been using Turtle Beach & Hercules products for the past 7 years... Not creative.

(i also swapped pci slots, ... this did not fix the problem.

I recently bought the same card but I haven't had that problem. One thing that I have noticed is that all of the music plays only plays on the two front speakers (I have 5.1 surround). And when I do a diagnostic all of the sound comes through just one speaker. However, when I play BF2 etc, the surround seems to work fine. Strange.

I never had this problem with my old Audigy card.

I was thinking about calling Creative tech support. I just haven't had the time.

*edit* also one reason I haven't called them is that I figured they will tell me that I have to disable my onboard sound or something. I use the motherboard sound for TS so I don't want to change that.

Shorthand, other than making sure you have the plugs in the right holes, I really can't help you on this. Try hardforum.

Colonel, the reason your music only plays on two speakers is because it's encoded for stereo speakers. There are 5.1 MP3s out there but they sound pretty goofy... BF2 has surround sound support so you're going to have function of all 5 speakers.

I've had similar issues when their were problems with the audio-in jack on the comp. Make sure it's plugged in the whole way and maybe try rotating it a bit.

That's kinda what I figured but with my old card it played stereo but through all four speakers and when I did a 5.1 diagnostic all the speakers worked right. Now they don't. (at least not during the "diagnostic" - which really doesn't diagnose anything except for whether you have the plugs in the right holes.) Dagnabit!

Do your speakers have a little remote thing for adjusting volume and stuff? On Logitechs there is a button for turning on matrix which gives you 2.1 sounds out of all speakers.

why dont you just disable onboard sound? there is a mic slot on the audigy cards. oOo:

When I first got Teamspeak I thought it sucked that the game sounds and TS conversations came through the same speakers. I couldn't hear people talk whenever there was gunfire etc. About three years ago, or more, Jasper showed me how to have TS go to my headset through the onboard sound and the game sounds come through my sound card to the speakers. These new sound cards might separate it all by themselves, I don't know, but I've been doing it this way for a long time. That's why the VoIP in BF2 bugs me so much. It comes through the sound card/speakers and the voices sound weird and their all mixed in with the game sounds. Plus, the other night some guy started cussing and asking everybody in the squad to perform oral pleasures on him ... and that came blaring out of my speakers with my daughter sitting right behind me. ed:

hrm...I should try that with the onboard sound. I know I HAVE onboard sound, but I don't think it's ever been enabled.

I should look into that.

PROBELM = friend fucking mislabled the ports... (put zee stickers in the wrong places............. So it works now and sounds fucking INSANE. So clear and precise. A peice of art, it matches my car SQ wise, (bass is lacking due to my the t7700's system subwoofer blowing balls.)

My new problem...

MY Problem = Front Right & Mid Rear Left channel = not functioning. The windows CP is set to 7.1, the Creative control panel is set to be configured for 7.1 as well. (set to it..) Yet these channels refuse to work, NOW I had some luck, I was able to get the mid rear left channel to wor when i set the system to 5.1 and hit the upmix bottun on the back of my speakers. But then my right front still stayed off and my mid rear right channel went out.... (I have gone back to 7.1 since then and I am suffering from the same problem which is front right & mid rear left = offline nothing.) I tested these speakers in other ports, they work.. So this has got to be a config thing.. I am just wondering if anyone here has any clue on this ? It must be a common problem with t7700 users & the audigy 2 zs. I also tried fooling around with the sub's upmixing.. (aka 5.1 upmixed to 7.1 ect) still to no avail on any setting.

ALSO my right front channel on the sound test (testing each channel) seems to play a bit of bass(the subwoofer mind you) when its turn comes up on the sound rotatation test....odd...
