Everything worked fine, except my mic in ventrilo for WoW. So I disabled it, enabled and installed the drivers for my onboard sound. Then a few days ago I switched to windows 7. 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.
This works great. 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 switched back to vista shortly after, but continued to use the onboard sound. Now Im back on 7 again. I wonder if its just a win7 issue and not a audigy issue?
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.
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.

I would just set it do cd quality and poof, the chop was gone no noticeable drop in quality either. Joined Jul 22, Messages 4. Sorry for the old bump but it's still an issue. I have Audigy 2 ZS on Win7 x However I know how to fix it temporarily each time until you reboot etc Just stop and start the windows audio service until it corrects itself.
Also, I've found that opening vent or TS and using the test feature, then closing it if it is garbled, then reopening it and testing till it works is also another option. Hope that helps. Joined Sep 1, Messages Just thought i'd add i have exactly the same problem. Audigy 2 ZS Win7 64bit Mic sometimes works fine, other times it's the same problem you're all describing. It's all the same hardward as i was running with winXP 32bit, so it's either windows or the drivers, so far it's looking like a driver issue along with 64 bit found that people had the same issue on vista 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.
Of all the other bugs i saw, this is the only one marked urgent under the staff comments, so they do know of issues. Often sound playback becomes jittery, choppy and noisy and recording fails to work. Sometimes you can record sound, but it's horribly noisy and scratchy. This happens with the latest bit drivers for both product series, under Windows XP bit, Vista bit and Windows 7 RC1 bit and other bit Windows operating systems.
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 bit Windows operating systems. Consider this report a collected issue observation for bit Windows systems with more than 4GB of RAM installed and usable.
This is a serious issue, affecting all bit Windows systems. It is severely hurting customer trust and the Sound Blaster brand. Thought i'd let everyone know that i've had success in "fixing" this issue with the mic sometimes being complete garbage. My system is Win7 64, Audigy 2 ZS and 4gb of ram. Creative appear to of acknowledged that 4gb usable ram and upwards so will only show on 64 bit machines causes varying issues on their cards.
As i have only 4gb and not more, i was able to try the memory hole remapping "check" disabled it in the bios This of course now makes windows only see 3. But, it has also stopped the mic issue, one that would plague me a few times a day, has now not occurred in the days since Saturday 4 days? As for me, rather than fork out on a new sound card, a new USB mic will get round the issue so i can enable my remaining half gig of ram again, until they update the drivers Hope this helps some people.
Confirmed that re-enabling the memory hole mapping so 4GB or more ram and using a logitech USB desk mic has worked round the problem fine. I have even tried the OSS kx drivers, which simply would not produce any sound at all. My onboard audio works great, and I have it hooked to my logitech z hunded something w 2. Absolutely no noise on the line at all, and the mic input works equally well. I also like to have the headphones using a dedicated input so I can have bass boost and some other tweaks apply to it, without messing up my regular speakers settings, without having to constantly change the settings or having to switch plugs when going from headphones to speakers.
My speakers have a headphone out port on the volume controller, but the audio is not of the same quality as it is coming directly out of the audigy 2. I found once that I uninstalled the creative software, but had left just the driver file itself running the aud2, and I finally had no noise! Im just going to try manually installing the driver file only via device manager, and if it works without any problems, firing up TF2 ot something that has EAX, and testing it.
Good luck to me! Even people with recent X-FI's are having similar problems with this setup, not to mention the many tens of thousands of owners of all the audigy series cards. I mean, onboard soundis good for almost all circumstances with a quality mobo read reviews on teh forums before you buy! Still, its nice to have hardware sound and eax in games, I dont really notice the diff at all on my speakers, but you can really make use of the directionality and features of EAX with headphones with a decent soundstage!
I mean come on, more than 4gb and a 64 bit OS is basically the norm for any enthusiast, and the regular market will be there very soon if not mostly there already. So come on creative, get your act together, fix the freakin drivers please. Having to run a bare driver file and get none of the other driver features is a pretty crappy work around. This aud2 was quite pricey back when I bought it, and strangely enough my audigy 1 on the emu10k1 works just fine.
If I really cant get this working to my liking very soon, Ill just pop the old aud1 back in for my headphone source, but I really prefer the sound and driver features present on the audigy 2.

However, if you read my posts in this thread, you'll see what can be done to work around it.
I'm still successfully using a USB mic as i only suffer the mic issue, otherwise i'd drop my ram to under 4gb usable and that also fixes it. Yeah, Same thing happened to me, I'd fix it by changing the format in the playback devices then half an hour later everyone on Vent would be like "your mic is doing that thing again" If I didn't break my headset I would've read all the posts, Kind of wish I didn't bust them because when you have no headset you notice how much you really need one I'm dying here I picked up a new headset from Newegg a minute ago, USB only, removable microphone so hopefully it works because I've noticed over the past year or so if I open my case and barely bump the Audigy card then turn the PC on the card somehow is no longer detected yet it is screwed in there I can finally retire the card after 4 or 5 years of use.
Joined Feb 7, Messages I have 6gigs of ram and, no, my mic doesnt work. I enabled my onboard sound and plug my mic into that. Moussaka, sounds like you used the work around successfully, i could of used my onboard sound, but, i really didn't want to Vasta, sounds like the case isn't allowing your car to sit square and fully in the pci slot, i've had that happen may times over the years. It could be the case causing it or even just a dodgy pci slot, maybe try re-seating it in another slot?
Easiest way to tell is get the case on your bed or something and lie it on the side, don't screw the card in, just insert it straight to the pci slot, then notice how close or far the back plate is from lining up with the case back plate. Ran some video and music and messed with the settings, and not a single damn pop so far!!
Hope this sticks I missed eax and good sound thru my headphones This is after trying the kx drivers, daniel k driver pack, various ways of manually installing just the driver, and multiple versions of that driver.
Try using the actual Creative release drivers from their website now you've made this change. Should be no need for beta versions. I'm interested if this made a difference too. Just to update you all I have Win 7 x64 and a Audigy2 ZS - updated to the drivers released in April and still the underwater mic problem exists But yes, the problem still exists with the April drivers.

Despite this topic being made May , I'm annoyed this sound issue still is present in some form, even today! While significant progress was made identifying the problem, Creative took no steps to resolve it. It's been up to the 3rd party fans to resolve the issue themselves!
This is unacceptable from Creative's point-of-view, and needless to say I will NOT be buying another Creative product. This issue is not only effecting Audigy cards, but some of their other sound cards as well. We need to resolve this! Their latest driver still doesn't resolve the issue! In short, this is what I did to partially resolve mine.

Thread starter strat Start date Oct 28, Joined Nov 8, Messages I have an odd problem, I am running Windows 7 Enterprise My problem is the mic input on my audigy, I cant get it to pick up sound in ventrilo or any program for that matter. Before anyone replies with "Make sure its the default device blah blah blah", its not that.
The weird thing is audio sounds great, my guitar through line in works great, I can hear myself if I unmute my mic, but it will not work in programs, neither will "What you Hear". Just today I installed the newest Daniel K pack, which fixed other issues but not my mic.
