My system is Win7 64, Audigy 2 ZS and 4gb of ram.Ĭreative appear to of acknowledged that 4gb usable ram and upwards (so will only show on 64 bit machines) causes varying issues on their cards.Īs i have only 4gb and not more, i was able to try the memory hole remapping 'check' (disabled it in the bios) Thought i'd let everyone know that i've had success in 'fixing' this issue with the mic sometimes being complete garbage. Hardware acceleration (Dsound2D/3D and EAX) not available on XP 圆4 edition with 4Gb of RAM Cannot record with system memory greater than 4GB 4 Gb on XP64 No hardware acceleration with 4 Gb+ RAM XP 64 bit Hardware acceleration (Dsound2D/3D and EAX) not available on XP 圆4 edition with 4Gb of RAM It is severely hurting customer trust and the Sound Blaster brand. This is a serious issue, affecting all 64-bit Windows systems. Consider this report a collected issue observation for 64-bit Windows systems with more than 4GB of RAM installed and usable. Many users have reported varying issues most likely relating to this, such as noisy input and output, corrupted audio and a complete loss of EAX and ALchemy functionality under all 64-bit Windows operating systems. Consequently, disabling Memory Hole Remapping on a 64-bit system with more than 4GB of RAM does not solve the issue, since there is RAM above the 32-bit limit of address space. On a 64-bit system with 4GB of RAM installed, disabling Memory Hole Remapping in the BIOS makes the issue go away, since there is no RAM amount above the memory hole address space. The issue goes away if the computer can see only 32-bit amounts of RAM, as in 4GB of address space minus PCI addressing.

This happens with the latest 64-bit drivers for both product series, under Windows XP 64-bit, Vista 64-bit and Windows 7 RC1 64-bit and other 64-bit Windows operating systems. Sometimes you can record sound, but it's horribly noisy and scratchy. Often sound playback becomes jittery, choppy and noisy and recording fails to work.

When using a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 series or X-Fi series sound card in a 64-bit Windows system with four gigabyte (4GB) RAM or more, various issues can be experienced. Issue affecting Audigy and X-Fi on systems with 4GB RAM or more If it doesn't work, here's a rough copy/paste Ĭreative Labs: Connect > Beta - Windows > Audigy Issues > Issue affecting Audigy and X-Fi on systems with 4GB RAM or moreĪudigy Issues: Issue affecting Audigy and X-Fi on systems with 4GB RAM or more Of all the other bugs i saw, this is the only one marked urgent under the staff comments, so they do know of issues. Not sure this link will work for everyone, but it appears to be a bug tracker internal to Creative, showing what's likely to be causing the issue. 7 seems to be modular as much as possible, which is very cool!

You can easily make different sound cards the primary/default device for specific purposes in windows 7, very nice feature.

For the time being though, if that does not work guys, you can just enable and install drivers for your onboard sound, use its mic input, and hook the rest of your stuff up to the audigy. There is a new audigy 1 win7 driver out just a week or 2 ago, I haent tried the mic in on the aud1 yet so I dont know if it fixed it. I wonder if its just a win7 issue and not a audigy issue? I switched back to vista shortly after, but continued to use the onboard sound. Now that I think of it, I might have been using windows 7 beta at the time when the audigy 1 mic in was not working right. I found out I could use both onboard sound and the audigy 1 at the same time, so I installed the drivers for both, hooked the speakers into the audigy 1, and the mic (and my headphones) into the onboard. Then a few days ago I switched to windows 7. So I disabled it, enabled and installed the drivers for my onboard sound.

Everything worked fine, except my mic in ventrilo for WoW. My audigy 1 (my aud2 I used for years died on me, still had an old 1 lying around) had this same problem a little while ago.
