This thing confuses me

nerdistmonk · Sep 26, 2011, 01:54 AM

Ok so I loaded Kxproject drivers up for my Audigy 2 soundcard, and I got it sounding good and all, but i noticed under the documents involving games that it says I would be best off setting to wave 4/5, When I set my default device to wave 4/5 in Windows 7 there is no sound.

Can someone help me? Im running the card in stereo (everything is set to stereo) and I am using the black jack on the soundcard, with the reverse setting on. If I stay on master mixer I have sound, but if i try to use any of the wave-outs I get nothing. What I am I missing?

The others 4/5 etc. would be for the other channels in a surround situation. You are running stereo so they would not be used. (my take on it, anyways..... ) For stereo use, try SPDIF/AC3, you will get better sound than Master Mixer in many cases.

So why does it say if your having problems in games to use wave 4/5? A few other small questions:

*On the new alpha drivers, I cant seem to open the ASIO control panel
*How do I set the soundcard for 24bit output and such?

Heres hoping this thing works with my games better than last time, I had alot of audio trouble in game (missing sounds, delayed, and such)

Anyways got it set to AC3.

That info is from older versions of kX. Wave 4/5 used to be (routed as) stereo front, but is now (routed as) stereo rear (so in a stereo only setup, you would not hear anything from Wave 4/5 unless Surrounder is set to downmix). The equavalent setting in recent kX versions would be Wave 2/3 (SPDIF/AC3 will work similairly in Vista/7).

For the ASIO control panel, try manually registering kxasio.dll from an elevated command prompt.
e.g.
regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\kX Project\kxasio.dll"

Or you can simply drag FXBusX Wave4/5 outputs to xrouting WaveL and WaveR inputs and you'll get sound with Wave 4/5 device.

I finally got the ASIO control panel to start breathing again,

Played some Battlefield: Bad Company 2, not bad, need to try rainbow six vegas 2 again since it was the one I had trouble with a month ago.

I guess next year need to buy that fancy soundcard creative is about to debut (dual core soundcard....wow....sounds expensive)

Anyways thanks for the help (I hope game support keeps getting better as I might just keep the audigy 2)
