*UPDATED* Unofficial Audigy Series Software CD for Win2000 / XP / Server 2003 / Vista 32/64-bit

2007 September 12
by nomoregoatsoup

Daniel Kawakami has just posted an updated installation CD for Audigy Series on the Creative user forums. The CD has been compiled for Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista 32bit and Windows Vista 64bit. He’s put a lot effort in, and produced a great multi language installer. I’ll try and arrange some alternative file hosting, but for now Daniel’s original links are located at the bottom. Enjoy!

Unofficial SB Audigy Series Software CD for

Windows 2000 / XP / Server 2003 / Vista (32/64-bit)

by Daniel Kawakami

Fully integrated and automated install, supporting Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista (32-bit and 64-bit), installs proper drivers. Includes all latest software available.

It is MANDATORY to disable UAC (User Account Control) before installing the package on Windows Vista (specially the 64-bit version).

Known “Windows Vista only” issues (so far):

- Diagnostics is incorrectly available in Setup under 64-bit. It does not work under that OS.

- “Speaker Settings” crashes during uninstall; just close the “Windows encountered a problem” and uninstall will proceed.

- Environment presets acts as Karaoke presets (effects are applied to Microphone).

- Advanced EQ and Special FX presets are available through “EAX Settings” application. You can edit and save the presets, but you can’t delete or edit them once saved.

Known issues:

- The Microphone controls may be disabled in Karaoke player. Just use the Windows Mixer and “EAX Settings” / “EAX Console” and to adjust the Microphone volume and effects, respectively.

- Do not install Entertainment Center unless you have one of the supported remote controls (RM-900, RM-1000, RM-1500, RM-1800), otherwise it is useless.

Revision 2 release notes:
- Removed “Diagnostics” from 64-bit systems.
- “Smart Recorder” for Windows XP now works with MP3 files and has a more friendly “My Recordings” interface.
- Includes “MP3 write” codec, the latest free version included in Audigy CDs, doesn’t work with WaveStudio 7, though.
- Updated the Windows Vista driver to ver 2.15.0002.2 (build 6.0.01.1302), latest version for X-Fi which also works with Audigy cards.
- Removed old WHQL driver and non-WHQL multilanguage driver to save space.
- “Creative Engine” installer and modules updated. Installers of applications using this engine were updated as well.
- Do NOT use this new CD to uninstall or add components of a previous installation, remove the old version completely before using this new version (see note above).

    Bro want 2 ask, is there any creative AUDIGY 2 Sourround mixer for vista?i’ve checked the creative official site, but theres no any update for vista. help me i need the EAX console n Sourround Mixer for vista.

  2. 2007 September 18
    nomoregoatsoup permalink

    This package will provide all software, but remember to delete all Creative registry and system files properly before install -otherwise it won’t work.

  3. 2007 September 19
    Agni permalink

    but the sourround mixer didn’t mentioned in ” software for vista ” it only mentioned in ” sofware for Windows 2000 / XP / Server 2003 “.

    is it will work if i install the sourround mixer in vista???

  4. 2007 September 22
    hshah permalink

    As soon as I installed this, I started getting BSODs :(

    Maybe I did something wrong?

    Can the updated drivers allow CMSS 3D 2? I need this and not too low a volume in Vista, on my 5.1 speakers… and it will be perfect :)

  5. 2007 September 23

    The Surround Mixer is not featured on my Vista install, no.

    This version has a CMSS3D page on the “EAX Settings” panel. It contains the options for “CMSS” and “CMSS2″.

    You will only find “CMSS” available in the Audio console though.

    If you’re having BSOD, please check this guide to make sure alll you old Creative files were cleaned properly. Most cases like this are software conflicts with earlier versions.

  6. 2007 September 23
    hshah permalink

    Alright… I will try and reinstall the drivers, although the BSODs have stopped for now :)

    I still have the issue with low volume though. My speakers can no longer go as loud as they used to be able to :(

  7. 2007 September 23

    Yes, many of us have noticed XP sound is much louder than the Vista sound.

    If everything is set to maximum in the Vista Sound panel, there’s nothing else I can suggest apart from turning your speakers up. Not a big help, but if you have neighbours like mine, it’s not an issue. :p

  8. 2007 September 24
    hshah permalink

    One more quick question… what are the main differences between this CD and the standard driver pack? I have no use for most of the software… I just wanted CMSS2 working but my system still seems to be having issues with this CD installation (I have used the new cleaner program)…

  9. 2007 September 24

    The “No More Goat Soup” driver pack is compiled from the latest Creative X-Fi driver installer, the Dell decoder and the Installer from Audigy 2.12.0002 drivers. It won’t provide CMSS 2, from memory.

    Daniel K’s Unofficial CD (first release) was based on the X-Fi Vista Software CD. It contains many, many applications for XP and Vista. The CD used to contain slightly older drivers, but has now been updated to contain the same (English version only) driver set as the “No More Goat Soup” drivers. As I’ve already mentioned, The unofficial CD does indeed have CMSS2 listed on the EAX panel but not on the Audio Console.

    I have no Idea if CMSS2 works of not. I must confess, myself I use the “No More Goat Soup” drivers and turn CMSS off.

    It’s worth pointing out that FnF has kindly updated the Guru3D.com Driver Sweeper to fix TONS of Creative issues. If you dont have the latest version, it won’t clean Vista files fully.

    Sorry I can’t be of more help,

    Goat

    hshah permalink

    Cheers for the confirmation mate :)

    I find that the CMSS2 sounds better… but at the moment I am trying to solve this low volume problem.

    If I keep the speaker volume up (Logitech Z-5500) you can hear the humming when the computer isn’t playing any sound :(

  11. 2007 September 25

    I’ve just installed the Unofficial Software CD on XP (media center) and it lists CMSS, CMSS2, Stereo Surround and Off.

    I’ll enquire as to why these options aren’t available in Vista.
    Wish me luck!

  12. 2007 October 4
    agni permalink

    so the unofficial driver didn’t contain sourround mixer?

  13. 2007 October 4

    No, NoMoreGoatSoup’s driver packs contain drivers and Audio Console.
    When new drivers are available, most people want to download 20mb drivers rather than an entire Software CD!

    I have this great CD installed, but I chose not to install the older drivers. I did a custom install and unticked the option to install drivers from this disc. I used the latest “Audigy Series Vista Driver Pack 2″ drivers. They both work together great for me.

    I have a problem.
    I installed drivers under Win Vista 32bit. But list of speakers types in “Speaker settings” and “Audio console” is empty. So I can’t select my 5.1 type and only 2 channels working.
    Have no idea how to fix it =((

  15. 2007 October 11

    Sounds like you need to do a FULL uninstall of Creative software and try again.

    The “empty speaker selection bug” is probably the most common bug, caused by Creative entries not being replaced when new drivers are installed.

    We’ve compiled a guide on the site that fixes this issue, 100% sure. You can find it here!

    I’m more than a little confident this will fix your issue, it always does for me.

    Hi ive installed these drivers on my Audigy 1.. and for some reason the creative bass management tab that enables the subwoofer bass redirection and cutoff freq. settings isnt showing up? is this a bug? is there a way to enable it via registry? On the official release i was using the surround mixer program to adjust bass redirection and cut-off… but now without bass management i cannot do this..

    thanks.

    Kudos to you bro,
    Just wanted to say thank you for all the time your putting forth to provide the community with a driver set like this. I took out a similar mission back in early 2000 myself with creative stuff……..

    As we all know creative is very user unfriendly when it comes to OS compatability and usage..

    Daniel, it really did work! I tried without dropping UAC (http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/disable-user-account-control-uac-the-easy-way-on-windows-vista/) and it didn’t work, just like you said. So then I dropped UAC, used Guru3D, restarted, and installed the CD I burnt. Worked!

    I’m still not sure why there is a part 1 and a part 2 since I only burnt part 1 to CD for installation.
    Anyways, if anyone still has problems, just follow all the instructions Daniel left and thanks again for putting this together.

    Music again!

    I don’t see any porpose of this drivers/app without CMSS2 support. I did full uninstallation of drivers/soft and when installing -Audigy Series Vista Drivers ver 2- couses “blue screen”, but after reboot sound is present. Even on my audigy/vista32 CMSS1 doesn’t work at all. I have slider but chaging it couses no action.

    PS
    very sorry for my poor english

    I want to download version 2 files. Unforunately the file host reported request error. Do you have another host? Thanks…

  23. 2007 November 14

    You can download an updated version of this install pack from Creative Labs User Forums. The page contains links to FileFront and RapidShare hosts.

    Hope this helps

    Thx a lot for releasing this software cd! It has helped me fix my problem with my Audigy 2 ZS using Windows Vista :D

    I have a Speedlink Medusa which had crappy sound in Vista because of bad driver support from Creative. With help from your software cd, my Speedlink Medusa “rumbles” again when a signal is sent to the subwoofer :)

    See the above post :)

    Grtz, Andy

  25. 2007 November 19

    Does anybody know how to boost the subwoofer signal on a Audigy 2 ZS? Ive seen it elsewhere on .IE the X-Fi and Audigy SE (correct if wrong).

    Ive tried Audio Center & various apps, but no success yet…

    Thx in advance!

    Well I can tell you I was some excited to find this possible way out of fooling around with drivers etc. and am downloading the two part software cd. Now why is it set up so that I have to download WinRAR, which is going to hound me to buy the paid version, when the two parts come in well under 700mb, and I don’t want PowerISO either because I usually burn my ISO’s with Nero. Just wondering…

    To No More Goat Soup:

    Thank you! This is the first time I’ve returned to a site with helpful software, spent the last ten minutes trying to google you. Downloaded your driver/software CD package and everything works great! I have my speakers calibrated again (thank God) and using all the features I thought lost since I lost my original CD.

    Shame on Creative for being so incompetant and unhelpful (only providing the updates??) but it created this opportunity, and thank you so much for taking the time to release this. Rest assured, I’ve already made backup copies of your CD image, just in case I have to do another format :)

    Thank you!!

    I have Windows Vista Premium and worked installed official creative driver for Creative Audigy 4. After i uninstall official driver step by step how you say:

    1) Firstly begin by totally uninstalling anything with the Creative tag on it.
    Control Panel > Control Panel Home > Programs > Uninstall a program

    2) Next we need to remove any tricky start up entries, again anything Creative must go.
    Control Panel > Control Panel Home > Programs > Change startup programs

    3) Now we need to remove Creative registry entries, and there’s quite a few.

    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Creative Tech
    * HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Creative Tech
    * HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Creative Tech
    * HKEY_LOCAL_Machine\Software\ASIO

    4) Remove these files/folders:

    * C:\Windows\System32\BMX*.rfx
    * C:\Windows\System32\Data
    * C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Data *(64-bit only)
    * C:\Windows\{*.BAK
    * C:\Windows\{*.CDF *Under Vista, requires additional actions to be successfully deleted, see below.
    * C:\Windows\CTDCRES.DLL
    * C:\Windows\System32\cttele32.dll
    * C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CTOSS2K.SYS
    * C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CTSFM2K.SYS
    * C:\Program Files\Creative (delete whole folder)
    * C:\Windows\CTXFIRES.DLL
    * C:\Windows\CTPRES.DLL
    * C:\Windows\Updreg.EXE

    After that restart PC and install unofficial CD. And now install reinstall any driver but Vista say in sound mixer No Audio Device found. I try install official but that not help anymore. In the Device Manager all is OK, device found and work correctly, bat sound mixer say NO FOUND and ALL. In the control panel Sound settings as default is set microphone and no way to set Line out/in or SPDIF.

    Please HELP what this is ???????

    Dear Daniel!

    Thanks for the ISO. I contacted with Creative in the past, becouse they dont did normal Vista Drivers for Audigy series. Creative Sound Cards are the best in audio quality, but I don’t like them like a company. :(

    Thanks the installer ISO. It works perfecty under Vista, not like the s****d Creative “webdrivers”!!! :)

  40. 2008 April 1

    Sketchyfish – I think you’ll find the installer looks like it’s made for Audigy, It’s not compiled by me and I don’t own an X-Fi. I have no idea how I’m expected to know this. :D
    Hardware supported:

    - Audigy
    - Audigy 2
    - Audigy 2 Value
    - Audigy 2 ZS
    - Audigy 2 ZS Notebook
    - Audigy 4
    - Audigy 4 Pro

    Try it and let us know if you want. :p
    As for the new stuff, I don’t think daniel_K will make one. If “a good one” does surface -expect to see links posted.

    Keke – SB230 is Audigy I believe, so yes it should work. Nothing ever works for everyone, so who can say? Try it maybe and let us know how it works out.

    yer think i might as should work looked on some other sites that have this driver and they have got same names xfi and audigy on same title so must be reason why they put the 2 names on same page title???

    all i want is the dodbly support that i payed for but creative doesnt even sale the I/O module that ua need to use real in/out digital on my cards..xfi cards have the digital port but not optical as far as i no?? need the add on module but i tryed to buy 1 from the U.S but they wouldnt ship me 1 buggers lol…

    Glad I stumbled across this thread. I am wondering if these drivers will help me get a digital signal though my Audigy Platinum Pro soundcard’s external box digital optical out to my Logitech Z5500 control pod?
    I have tried everything on the current Creative drivers: setting the output in the options to Digital, Using SPDIF bypass in the EAX console and AC3 filter, and am tearing my hair out trying to get a digital signal to the Logitech’s. All I get is PLII Pro Logic which is a real pain.

    Drivers ale excellent, but in Creative Media Source 5, DTS:Neo6 plugin doesn’t work.

  60. 2008 April 21

    Michele: I don’t have an original copy of the CD, or any other links -sorry. BURAOT has provided links, but I have no need to download them myself. Given the size of the ISO (a CD image in one file) download, it would take me ages on this connection. Scan everything you download! Good luck!

    Hi,

    I want to download the Updated Driver Iso, but the Filefrontlinks doesnt work anymore =(

    Are There any Mirrirs for the UPDATED iso?

  62. 2008 April 23

    I downloaded this iso by daniel_K, however, it won’t let me install giving error that I don’t have windows Vista installed. I do have XP installed, and I thought this was installer XP compatible. Help!!!

    Mr.Gentleman: BURAOT has posted some links. He seems like a nice guy -but scan for viruses to be safe.

    Mr.Lost: I’ve read of this issue several times, but never seen it first hand.

    Hello, I’ve installed these drivers and they work just fine. Thank You.

    Anyway I thought it might be possibile to get a real STEREO-SURROUND sound, but I’am afraid you can’t. I bought a used Audigy 2 ZS exactly for this purpose. If these are Xi-Fi features I am also TERRIBLY DISAPPOINTED of that. My old Sound Blaster Live 5.1 was able to do that in a perfect stream copy of the forth front in the surround channel. And the Xi-Fi isn’t able to do that. That’s hideous !

    Guys,
    I am running XP pro SP 2. I only have the latest Audigy drivers from creative installed…was wondernig If i need to uninstall them before installing the unoffical software? Can I keep the official drivers and install the unofficial software?

    thanks,
    Ken

  73. 2008 May 5

    Have some problems with appz.

  74. 2008 May 5

    A lot of the apps were “persuaded” in to working under Vista. Others were simply added to the installer, I think.
    I, myself, feel that the less Creative Software needed the better. I don’t have any applications installed apart from the Audio Console.

    Bare minimum FTW!

  75. 2008 May 7

    Yeah, I must admit. I have an Aud2Plat, and this so-called entertainment center or what was totally new for me. Oh well, let’s take out the batteries from the remote…

    Hey, i’ve got an Audigy 2 NX, is there any posibility u will make te drivers compatible with that soundcard ? would be much appreciatet

  78. 2008 May 23

    OMG! Thank You! Daniel and all the others involved in providing this fix, you have done allot of us Audigy owners a good deed, I discovered these drivers when I was looking for a fix too get my Audigy 2 ZS card DD and DTS hardware decoding working in Vista 64 although I do believe this is still an issue and DD and DTS hardware decoding is not working still on, but I am almost speechless too see almost everything I had lost from the transition from XP to Vista almost fully restored.

    My thoughts on Creative are mixed at best, I admire there quality in hardware but there support for it as best said on the internet as a whole, really sucks, they want to spout off about there IP rights, when I have to ask them what about my rights as a consumer, my rights to have everything I paid for still functioning and working, and to think Creative slapped together some quick fix which left me with functions no better than there cheapest sound cards, Im really glad other companies such as the auto industry don’t follow these types of support guide lines like Creative or we would be forced to buy a new car every year a new model was released, as a fact this type of behavior from a company just pushes me away from buying from that company ever, and my money is going to were the support is and that means full support for drivers and functions I paid for, and no i dont expect them to support something forever but in this case the Audigy still has a good bit of life left in it.

    Xi-fi 2, I see it wont be long if not now the original Xi-Fi owners will be getting the same deal as Audigy owners before, little support of software and driver functions and features they paid for sounds like the same broken loop will be repeated once more.

    Thank god I found you guys. I have audigy 2zs video editor, its NEVER worked despite buying it near 13months ago, been on creatives website, they dont give a toss.

    firstly guys i am a bit stupid, and am struggling with all of this.

    i installed installion cd using xp compatability, the creative said to use an updated driver and vidcap. did this finally gets a preview but the capture button is ‘ghosted’ out.

    tried to unstall software, now it won’t.

    tried to download daniel k’s file but it takes me to a website with no clue on what to download (sorry i am dim)

    installed driver sweeper guru thing, it won’t work,

    i am running vista 64ultimate.

    please help me cause I am loosing the will to live

  86. 2008 July 1

    We’re working on a newer release, but sadly x64 systems really, really hate Creative software. The driver signing issues in Vista 64, are almost facist.

    I know we’ve been promising a release for sometime, but we really want a better driver to work with. So far Creative have fixed 2 issues, and added another 10. July’s official driver will be make or break.

    I don’t know what’s going on with daniel_k’s filefront either. I think he’s packed up and moved on. :(

    To obtain a copy of the disc, you’ll probably need a bit torrent client like utorrent. It seems the ISO’s are now considered “underground” and only available from places like http://www.mininova.org/ or http://www.btjunkie.org/

    Remember to scan EVERYTHING you get from non-trusted sources.

  87. 2008 July 1
    The Spoilt parrot permalink

    i tried to install the program, i got utorrent. when it i get an error message saying ‘unsupported device’ or something, then the installer shuts down!

  88. 2008 July 2

    That error usually occurs because of driver “leftovers” left from crappy uninstallers.

    Have you tried running Guru3D driver sweeper, crap cleaner etc after uninstall, driver removal?

    I suspect you have some files like C:\Windows\{00000005-00000000-00000002-00001302-00000004-10021102}.CDF that are causing issues.

    Everything I’ve learnt about this phenomenon can be found here.

    Hope it’s of some use.

    I don’t have the original software/driver CD for my Audigy 1 Platinum and the drivers off Creative support page dont work properly. My card seems to work fine but the I/O panel that comes with the card wont work. Ive been looking round the web and see that you are supposed to have the original drivers from the original cd for the card to make it work properly. Will this collection of software and drivers make my card work?

    Well having some problem with my Creative Audigy 2 ZS, MP3 keep repeating, so I did a reinstall of the Creative CD, but noticed some new Drivers, install these but it stuffed up most things.

    So found this Posted ISO V1 dnload the one from Rapidshare as I had to cut back to Dialup, Broadband here has a very low Cap 2 to 10Gigs and dear.

    Did a Total cleanup of all Creative parts, including all registry and tasks that were running

    Running XP SP3 installed software no problems at all.

    BUT Noticed that a lot of thing would not run could not find compatible devise or some thing like that and the Diagnostics showed a Error with Multimedia Tests, System shows that no device for Audio just a Modem..

    The Other problem were program links missing like RDefault, CTwave32, CTMDcen, GSDemo, Audiohq & chkcolor.

    But not totally giving up decided to installed this updated Driver SBAX_WBUP2_LB_2_09_0016.exe
    .
    That fixed most thing except for the missing program links, but I think they have been left out on purpose

    >>>> But I notice some time later that it still locks up when playing MP3, keeps repeating..

    But the new features look great..

    Should I update to the latest driver and the Meadia Player thing..?

    Like these

    CMS5_NEO_PCAPP_LB_5_00_05.exe
    CMS5_PCAPP_LB_5_20_23.exe
    EAXC_Theme_PCApp_LB_3_10_13.exe
    SBAX_PCDRV_LB_2_18_0001.exe

    Thanks

  97. 2008 September 11

    SBAX_PCDRV_LB_2_18_0001.exe is the best driver available at the moment -for Vista users anyway. I’ve heard older drivers are better for XP. You never know until you try! :D

    As for all the other Creative crap, I’d skip it unless you really, really need it.

    Oh and the I/O panel is very, very unsupported in Vista -at least it was last time we tried. It’s the newer drivers -again older drivers might cure issues.

    I have a Big problem, All MP3’s that I have so far played get stuck in a grove, like a LP repeating the track over and over a gain, and MediaPlayer 5 shows that its not responding, WMP will play the MP3’s and MediaPlayer 5 Plays Audio CD’s ok..

    This was also before the new software.

    Plus one thing that is not Working is the DTS, device not supported, I have the file and will try and install it..

  99. 2008 September 11

    I’ve seen a lot of people complaining about looping sounds with MP3 playback. I’ve been unable to reproduce the problem though.

    …and yes the dts is broken -but AC3Filter cures that for me.

    I do get WMP “not responding problems” if I leave a DVD in the drive. Perhaps it’s related to removable devices too… hmm…

    How do I tell if I have the Rev 2 ISO, lots of links don’t say, I know I have the first one, but I have another but no info on what version.?

    I thing I read on another forum that its upto 2.14 but that could be wrong.

    The DTS thing does I think work after doing a Update of MediaPlayer 5, but I now have Smart Recorder not working, crashes from memory it did work.

    The MP3 thing I found that its a bit intermittent

    Hi NoMoreGoatSoup. Incredibly useful blog for SB users. I have an interesting question: Is there a way to use newest Audigy’s SBAX_PCDRV_LB_2_18_0010.exe and X-Fi’s SBXF_PCDRV_LB_2_18_0013.exe to integrate/update their respective unofficial drivers CDs? (released originally by Daniel_K)

    • 2009 October 19

      DanielK_FAN: The drivers will work to some extent, but the X-Fi drivers will work better. The applications from the driver disk probably will not work.
