Audigy 5.1

I'm currently searching for help on this board, but I will pose the question and maybe someone can provide insight I haven't found yet.

I am currently running SCS 9.1.6a (After finding 9.2.7 just too unstable to rely on). 916a seems stable and has everything I need for this particular show.

However, I am having particular trouble getting the 5.1 Soundblaster Audigy card to work properly.

When tested through the hardware (The Audigy utilities) is works fine. All channels separate and send properly. However SCS does not. It can't break the front and Rear channels up, and sends front/rear simultaneously. I searched and found the FLOATING POINT solution on this board, but it simply does not work. When I click the FLOATING POINT option, and restart SCS, I get the same problem.

Does anyone else have any other advice for me? This is a real pisser.

Thanks in advance.

If you look at version 9.1.6a under "Recent Changes" on this website (and the SCS helpfile) you will see that, in addition to selecting "Do NOT use floating point for audio channels", you should clear "Force enabling of speaker assignments", which is selected as the default.

If you have done both and still have problems, you may have to wait for Mike when Australia wakes up.

Yes. Whatever it said to do (I'm not in front of the actual machine at the moment) I did, and still no luck.

I have an E-mail to Mike. Hopefully he will shed some light on the subject for me.

Thanks JMG

There are three settings that must all be set correctly for the Audigy to work. These are:

Do you have all three of these set as above?

Yeah, we got that alright. I'll fidget with it some more. Worse comes to worse, we run all the sound out of FOH. But it's not ideal.

(I wish I had more time to play with it, but we were only able to get into the theatre yesterday... 2 days before our show)
