Creative Surround mixer Problems by aNILEator on 05-21-2005 at 10:32 PM

Well it will not allow me to change from 2.1, i click on the box which normally brings up a drop down box to change the speaker settings and it just does nothing.

I've tried re-installing, it still doesn't allow me to do anything with it, changing in the control pannel also fails

(I wish to change to 5.1)

Creative Surround Mixer Version 2.00.51
Creative Sound Blaster Live (don't Laugh too much :$)

any help?


RE: Creative Surround mixer Problems by squall_leonhart69r on 05-21-2005 at 11:00 PM

why laugh? i still have a Soundblaster Live myself and find it just as good as the Audigy2,

just coz it hasn't got the extra speakers don't mean anything

to be honest.. i can use EAX3 on my SBLIVE which was originally released with EAX1 :P

now have you tried updating to the latest set on the Creative site?

or uninstalling and reinstalling em

- make sure its synchronized with Sounds and Audio Devices in control panel.
- make sure you drivers and evevrything esle with Creative is up 2 date
- If it doesn't help go to device manager and disable your audio card and then reenable it and restart. (could help)

I have a problem like this, every time I restart my PC the settings turn back to 2.1 although its supposed to be 5.1

Ive got a SB Audigy 2 :p
Mixer version 3.00.58

For some reason its only been happening since I updated the drivers...

BTW s7a5 ive done 1 & 2, and ill try 3 later. Ill post my results.

[Edit] Nah, dont work... Any other sugestions?

[Edit 2]Wow, theres quite a few updates on the site, didnt notice, ill check em out.
It worked, but now everytime I start up the logon sound is all messed up, everithing else works fine.

So, just try updating everithing...

Any ideas now....


RE: Creative Surround mixer Problems by The Napster on 05-22-2005 at 12:16 PM

RE: Creative Surround mixer Problems by aNILEator on 05-22-2005 at 01:28 PM

RE: Creative Surround mixer Problems by The Napster on 05-22-2005 at 01:44 PM

see :)
the logon sound will be a little messed up after your 2nd restart it will get to normal
cheers

btw
When updateing Creative components try to follow this order
1. Drivers
2. Media Source
3. EAX Console
4. everything else

I really don't like their update funcionality and have emailed them many times back then, but it wasn't quite effective as you see. They seem to release patches all the time instead of releasing full drivers that include fixes from previous drivers.

"Windows XP and Dell User"
There are your problems..
RE: Creative Surround mixer Problems by aNILEator on 05-23-2005 at 09:53 AM

WEll i've not had this problem for long, the website says i'm all updated so i have no idea what is going on


--- AT uberdosis---
I don't use a Dell Computer and Windows XP is perfect for the average computer user, as many open minded people will say.

"I challenge you to make a multi million selling Operating System that actually works flawlessy!"

But then i see your ratings and think why do i bother?


RE: Creative Surround mixer Problems by squall_leonhart69r on 05-23-2005 at 11:58 AM

hey fufafly, add me, to your msn and i'll go through it with you in realtime,

seems most likely the driver profile is damaged,

i'll also check the latest package is actually the latest for you

where in the world do you live, and i need Exact specs on the soundcards SPU and EAX COSPU

you can use Everest Home 2.0 to get me the details


im trying to work out how you have release 1.4.0 and i only have 1.3.0....

nope, its still messed up. Anyone think I should rol back & update. Might the problem be that the auto Update updated software 1st and then the actual driver?

Oh well i'll live... :cry:
RE: Creative Surround mixer Problems by s7a5 on 05-23-2005 at 07:39 PM

hmm, well maybe it's bc we have different audio cards (I have Audigy 2 ZS Plainum). When I install drivers and restart my pc I hear the star up sound a little interupted by time (messend up), but then when i restart again it's back to normal.


RE: Creative Surround mixer Problems by squall_leonhart69r on 05-23-2005 at 08:05 PM

its a latency bug

don't worry about it
