Audigy 2 NX resumes from hibernation on mute

**drrayray** · 06-18-2007, 03:37 PM

I have an Audigy 2 NX. When I go into hibernation everything works fine. When I come out of hibernation the device stays stuck on mute. If I close SD it turns back on playing my Sirius input. When I reopen SD everything is ok. What can I do for it to work on resume so I don't have to close SD. I really like having it come back from hibernation already playing music.

I have this problem to. I havent found a complete solution to it - although muting and unmuting on hibernate helps.

Is there a fix in one of the upcoming updates? Is there a batch file I can stick into SD? ..... Anything?

You could try using the kx drivers. I use it with that soundcard and it resumes fine.

I have the same card and the same problem... any news?

I tried 6 different drivers. They all help a little, but the problem never goes away. Some would fix one thing and not the other things. All and all none of them fixed the muting issue. I think its something to do with SD. Within 10 seconds of me closing SD the sound card unmutes, but as long as SD is open it will not.

Is it a problem with just media player? StreetDeck closes and mutes all open line inputs on shutdown and reopens and unmutes them on startup. It shouldn't touch the mute state though.

Thats exactly what happens with me as well... its really ******* aggravating and I wish there was a way to fix it. To Chuck: How dose StreetDeck interface with the computers audio hardware? and have you been able to reproduce this problem?

I got so fed up with it. I spent hours trying to figure it out and just when I thought I was close to a solution another thing would happen. I just pulled out the sound blaster and went back to using onboard sound. When new updates for SD come out I will put it back in and see how nice they play.

It doesnt actually change the windows mute state - by muted i presume he means it literally doesnt output any sound.

I doubt this is an SD problem - what's happening probably is that when SD closes it's closeing (giving a kick up the backside) some audio driver lines which resets the soundcard and makes it work.
