CD Audio problems on K7N2-L Delta with Audigy 2

In case anyone else is having the same problem with machine lock ups and inability to play CD's in Media Player 9 when this motherboard is installed I thought I would report my solution.
Symptoms; CD Plays for a few seconds, then sound cuts out, then comes back a few seconds later (or machine locks up).
Solution; Close PC Alert(System Tray motherboard monitor).
This solved the problem on my machine.
My machine has also been locking up a lot, I will report back if this has cured that too, though I have another thread on that problem (just search for my name).
Whilst we are on the subject of PC Alert, there is a problem with this in Win XP Home SP1 when using more than one user. If you log on a second user when the first user has not signed off, you get an error when PC Alert tries to start and the second user will not be able to run the alert software. (NB Asus's Probe software suffers from the same problem)
Can one of you moderators add all this to your bug lists and report it back to MSI?
Kit on my machine as follows;
MSI K7N2-L Delta (5.2. Bios)
2 x 256MB PC2700 Ram (Corsair).
AMD Athlon XP (Barton) 2500+
Geforce 4 TI 4200 (8X AGP) 44.03 Drivers
Audigy 2 (Latest Drivers)
TV Card (Happaugue PCI Nicam)
Memorex 32x CD-RW
LG DVD Rom
IBM 80GB Hard Disk
IBM 40GB Hard Disk
Network - NVidia - on Motherboard.
Win XP Home SP1 + all patches.
The sound on the Nvidia MB is disabled, as is the parrallel port and serial port

Hi Stephen!
I really hope this works out because im having the same problems that you are having. Lock ups and freezes in games. I have been looking in the inet for days to find a fix. i also narrowed it down to my Audigy 2 sound card. If i take it out everything runs fine. I tried all sorts of things that were written in the Creative forums but nothing worked. The strange thing is that it doesnt always happen. Yesterday i was playing all day long and not one single crash. Today i booted up and had a lock up with screeching sound while playing. I really do hope it is just the MSI software because i was really thinking about exchanging this board for something else. Cant imagine it just being the software. It would be to easy..hehe. I dont really want to give up my Audigy 2 card because its a great card. Awsome sound for games. What PCI port do you have your Audigy 2 card in now? I have mine in 2 and my Network card in Slot 3. In the User´s guid i think it says there that PCI slot 2 and 3 are not shared. Not really sure to be honest. Never really had probs with other mainboards. I put the devices in and they worked. I never really had live update 3 running and still had lock ups  but do have PC alert running which i just shut down. Hope it works out for us both. Gonna go try some Raven Shield now and see if it crashes. Thanks for the tipp.

    Hi,
    not sure if coincidence or the same question, but the same question got asked internally. The seeded option is required to get the OJSP filter installed. Here's the internal response
    ADF View integration with MDS not configured
    In web.xml, you need to have mds-ojsp intg enabled to load jspx base + customizations from MDS. In your web project in Jdev, go to ADFv project properties and select “Seeded customization” property. It would enable mds-jsp engine configuration in web.xml. If you want to use user personalization feature at runtime, you would need to select “User customization” property as well which would enable ADFv change persistence config in web.xml.
    Warning: Some of the metadata under ... is packaged as part of both WAR and MAR. This metadata cannot be accessed from WAR using MDS.
    For these two packages, you are including the files in both WAR & MAR. This warning conveys that since these base files are being put in MAR, at runtime they would be read from mds repository & not from WAR.

  • Apple LED 24" Cinema Display audio problem under 10.6.8 (with post fix)

    Hi all,
    I'm using an Apple LED 24" Cinema Display with a 2010 MBP 15" and had been using 10.6.8 without problem. After installing the post-fix I now get static noice on (clipping?) when music contains lots of base. If I switch the output to my MBP's built-in speakers then the audio is fine.
    Is there any way to un-install the 10.6.8 post-fix?
    Thanks,
    Yanik

    Solved the issue. This issue coming up after installing the 10.6.8 supplemental update was just a considence. I ended up tracing the issue back to my Atlona AT-MDP21 Mini-DisplayPort KVM switch and after fiddling with cables the issue went away.

    Hi Ricardo,
    Thanks for posting the chart XML and associated information, as it's proved very helpful in deciphering the issue you've hit.
    Firstly, in #1 you've attempted to create a "Spline Area" chart, according to your XML. This chart type is not one of the chart types that we have licensed from AnyChart. Only those chart types exposed via our Create wizards are covered by our license with AnyChart. If you wish to create such a chart type in your application, you will need to contact AnyChart and chat with them about obtaining a license for that particular chart type. In earlier releases of APEX, it was feasible to generate unlicensed chart types, such as "Spline", via the "Custom XML" region. However, that was not supported behaviour and was not the intended usage of the "Custom XML" region. Since 4.1, that option is no longer available. To resolve your issue, I recommend that you update the chart XML to use one of our licensed chart types.
    Secondly, in #3 you are referencing an SWF file called "anychart.swf", however the SWF file that we incorporate in an APEX installation is called "OracleAnyChart.swf". To resolve this issue, I would recommend updating the SWF reference to point to the AnyChart 6 file that we've incorporated with the release i.e. /i/flashchart/anychart_6/swf/OracleAnyChart.swf. NOTE: you would also need to update the reference to the associated JS file, to /i/flashchart/anychart_6/js/AnyChart.js.
    I hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Hilary

  • Audio problems when publishing to YouTube with Adobe Captivate 5.5

    I was using Audacity to record audio, then importing the audio into Adobe Captivate 5.5. One I recorded earlier, before my computer was changed, but published into YouTube after it was changed published fine. But now, after doing recordings with Audacity and within Captivate itself, on different computers and everything, I am getting no sound when publishing to YouTube. It sounds fine in Captivate, but I get zilch sound in YouTube. I have tried different computers to record and listen to the video, different microphones, different audio levels, but to no avail. What am I doing wrong?

    Hi there
    I'm a simpleton at heart.
    Have you tried ensuring that the speaker icon isn't muted?
    Cheers... Rick

  • Audio problems for online videos played with HDMI hookup

    I have a pavilion dv4 1155se notebook with vista os, and i have been having some sound problems when i hook my computer up to my hdtv. my knowledge about computers is fairly limited so bear with me please. whenever i hook my notebook up to my tv (using hdmi) to play online videos the sound will only come out of the speakers on my laptop, not the tv. the sound comes through the tv's speakers for everything else (music, games, etc) and it used to work for the online videos but the last couple times i've hooked my laptop up the sound only comes out of the notebooks speakers. the digital output device is enabled like it should be, it's just this one thing that is not working right. if anyone could help me out with this i would really appreciate it.

    Re-export the .mov using QT Pro's iPod preset. If you song is in there, it will play. Make sure that 'Make Self Contained' is checked.

  • Audio problems continue with 7.0.1?

    I am still having the same audio problems that I was having with 7.0. Is anyone else using Windows XP having the same problem? Is there a work around?
    Thanks,
    -Rich

    Unfortunately, audio skip continues to affect my itunes after downloading 7.01.08. Seems to occur when new songs start. Mouse & keyboard freeze coincides when this occurs. Lasts for about ten seconds before clearing itself. Song quality seems to be better but, I miss 6.05. I would like to hear from Apple support as soon as possible. Help!!

  • My computer has some serious problems, my iphoto only shows thumb size pics when I try to open them, i tried to rebuild my files from folders that had the pics in them. originally all the photos has a large delta with a question mark. also I can't back up

    my computer has some serious problems, my iphoto only shows  only shows thumb size pics when I try to open them, i tried to rebuild my files from folders that had the pics in them. originally all the photos had a large delta with a question mark. also I can't back up the library file because its not there. I went to time machune and tried to find the file but I can't find it or I am looking in the wrong place. I also lost my Idvd file, only have broken chain showing.

    Details please
    What version of iPhoto and of the OS?
    i tried to rebuild my files from folders that had the pics in them.
    Exactly what did you do and how did you do it? this ay be the cause of your issue but without details we can n=ony guess
    my iphoto only shows  only shows thumb size pics when I try to open them,
    where do you see htis? In the iPhoto window? what does "try to pen them" exactly mean?
    originally all the photos had a large delta with a question mark.
    Ok - this usually has a simple solution - do you still have a copy of the library that has this problem?
    also I can't back up the library file because its not there.
    This makes no sense at all - all of your previous statements indicate that you do have an iPhoto library but have some problems with it
    By default your iPHoto library is located in your Pictures folder and is named iPhtoo library - if tha tis not the case the you have moved or renamed it and only you know what you did until you tell us the details
    I went to time machune and tried to find the file but I can't find it or I am looking in the wrong place.
    Again unless you actually share what and how you are doing thing but continue to simply state abstract problems it is no possible to assist you - details on using Time Machine are here  --  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US   --     and   --    http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html   ---
    I also lost my Idvd file, only have broken chain showing.
    This would be better addressed in the iDVD forum - but again unlesss yu share detailed information no one can assist

  • Firewire audio problems with OS X 10.5.6

    Hello,
    I’m experiencing audio problems with Firewire 400 on my Macbook running Mac OSX 10.5.6.
    I’ve got a 2.4Ghz IntelCore 2 Duo with 4 GB RAM and 59 GB available on the internal HD.
    It’s hooked up to a brand new Mackie D.4 mixer with 2 Firewire outputs. The problems occur on both Firewire outputs.
    I’ve installed automatically from the software update (which I will never do again) to 10.5.6. I never tried the D.4 with 10.5.5 so I can’t tell if the problems occur there also.
    The main problem is that after a couple of minutes of recording the sound starts to break up and get really distorted. After a while the sound comes back again.
    The second problem is that Soundtrack Pro or Audacity don’t get any audio input from the D.4, although audio input is clearly visible in System Preferences – Sound.
    The only sound program that works with all 14 Firewire channels is Ableton, but also in Ableton the distortion occurs.
    An example of the distortion can be checked here:
    http://media.kaalslag.com/firewire-distortion-problem-mackieD4+Macbook.mp3
    I’ve roamed several forums and sites to solve the problem and I tried these solutions:
    I updated again to 10.5.6. with the full combo download from the Apple site. Restarted. Problem still there.
    I shut Airport off, because lots of sites mentioned problems with Airport conflicting with audio/firewire. Didn’t work.
    I did the work around with shutting the Macbook off, disconnecting the D.4, restarting the Macbook, opening Audio/Midi Setup, connecting the D.4 again, toggling the format frequencies a couple of times. Again, no use.
    Right now I’m using my “old” Macbook again to record from vinyl. This one is still running on OSX 10.4.11. No problems so far.
    I’ve had the distortion problems occuring before with an USB interface. Hoped that the Mackie Firewire would solve the problem, but it seems now that there’s a serious audio Firewire problem which is still not solved in OSX 10.5.
    Any help, tips and/or a work around would be much appreciated. Thanks!

    You could try using another computer in Target Disk mode (as an "external HD"), or you can connect the firewire cable and disconnect all other network cables (turning off airport). Then on each computer go to the "Network" system preferences and select "Built-in Firewire" from the list of ports and choose "Manually" from the drop-down menu next to "Configure". Enter the following IP addresses and subnet masks, apply the changes.
    _Computer 1_
    IP Address: 192.168.1.1
    Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
    _Computer 2_
    IP Address: 192.168.1.2
    Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
    After those ip addresses are entered and you've clicked "Apply", ensure that for both computers you have file sharing enabled (done in the "Sharing" system preferences), and then check the Finder sidebar to see if the computers can see each other (their names should appear under "Shared" in the sidebar--if not, try restarting).
    If the computers dont appear (even after restarting), using the "Connect To" option that's available in the Finder's "Go" menu. In there, to connect to another computer enter it's IP address as follows:
    afp://IP_ADDRESS
    If you're on the computer with the ip address of 192.168.1.1, you would enter 192.168.1.2 as "IP_ADDRESS". The "afp" is the protocol (just like "http" for web), and stands for "Apple Filing Protocol"...Apple's file sharing protocol.

  • Audio problem with one episode of iTunes tv show on two apple tvs but audio works fine on same show on iMac

    I have a season pass to Dr Who and all 30+ other shows purchased on iTunes work great. Last night's episode (Hide) has a hissing sound so loud it drowns out all the audio in the show when i try to watch it on my Apple TV.  I then downloaded the episode to my iMac and my iPad and no audio issues there. However when I tried playing it shared from my iMac to the Apple TV and the audio problem was there again. Same thing happened when I tried to AirPlay from my iPad to Apple TV.
    I have two Apple TVs. One is latest model w latest upgrade, the other is generation before without latest upgrade. Same audio issue on both. I have tons of iTunes TV shows and movies and this is the only episode with an issue. Something is wrong with this file that causes it to screws up the audio on Apple TV.
    Has anyone else seen this kind of audio issue specific to just one TV episode or movie?  Anyone know support path for iTunes problems?

    If other episodes play Dolby Digital fine this could be a file encoding problem - they sometimes get it wrong.
    I suggest you all contact Apple about the problem via itunes store support here:

  • Weird audio problems with Motion when exporting quicktime videos

    I have a Motion project with 2 video clips of people talking. When I create a RAM preview everything plays back fine. When I export a quicktime, the first second or so of each video clip (within the quicktime) have no audio. I've adjusted the in and out of each clip in Motion but I don't think that would make the audio disappear on export. Thinking it was just a bad export, I tried just exporting the audio and the same thing happens.
    Here's what i'm using:
    Mac Pro dual 3.0 Xeon
    10 gigs of RAM
    Motion 2.1.2

    hi,
    motion 2 had some odd audio problems that surfaced now and then. The only way round it was to bring the clip into FCP and edit the audio in there, and then export from fcp.
    Motion 3 might have fixed this. Not sure havent had the problem for some time, since I make sure all finnishing is done in FCP.
    hope this helps

  • 10.4.9 - Major audio problems with digital audio

    I have a Digital XMPCR radio with Edirol MA-20D Digital speakers
    I now have major audio problems, the audio is garbled and doesn't sound as strong. Kinda like a FM radio in a car that is loosing signal when you are traveling.
    I use this XMPCR for a couple of hours a day and had no problems this morning prior to installing the update.
    I have a XMPCR that was modified for Toslink/Digital connection. I connect the XMPCR to my Mac Pro 2.66 with toslink cables and connect my Edirol MA-20D digital speakers with toslink cables. I use Amoeba's "LineIn" for audio pass through.
    I thought it might me the FTDIUSBSerialDriver so I reinstalled it, did not fix the problem.
    I also have a real bad "buzzing" sound going on in the background. When I quit JXM (the application for changing channels on the XMPCR), the "buzzing" goes away but I have a rapid ticking sound coming out of the speakers until I quit LineIn.
    Anyone else have any problems with their digital audio input/outputs?

    I dont use the digital XMPCR radio, but I use Digital Performer to record audio and MIDI and I use exclusively the Built-In Audio input and Output and everything is working fine after the 10.4.9 Upgrade.

  • Audio problems with SBLive! 5.1 and Windows XP Pro,

    I just reinstalled Windows XP Pro from a slipstreamed CD with SP2 on it. (That means I can't just remove SP2 without reinstalling Windows.) Now, when I play a game the audio skips and stutters for the first 5-0 min of gameplay. The skipping and stuttering goes away eventually, but its REALLY annoying. This is the only hardware problem I've had with SP2, and I would like to know if there is a patch in the planning to fix all the SP2 Sound Blaster problems, or do we all have to find our own work around for these things.
    If anyone has a solution for this please let me know. I've already installed the UniDriver thing, and it still acts up. I've tried removing and reinstalling everything, cleaning out my registry, and rebooting. Defragging my HD did not work either. Nothing seems to work.
    CPU= AMD Athlon XP 2600+
    RAM=704Mb
    Video=GeForce 4 MX440 AGP 28DDR
    Please help soon.

    I think I may have solved my problem. I recently installed Full Spectrum Warrior. I installed it to a different dri've than all of my other games. Lo and behold, no audio problems. After some further investigation, I believe that the audio problem lies in an old hard disk dri've that is in the beginning stages of failure. After I actually thought about it, my load times from this hard disk have been taking forever, but Full Spectrum Warrior loads very quickly. The dri've is going to die! But I guess it's ok, the dri've is almost 0 years old, and this is the 3rd computer its been in.
    Thanks for your help,

  • USB audio problems with 2013 iMac

    I'm having a strange audio problem with USB microphones and headsets. The issue with my Logitech H650e is shown in this screencast I recorded. In the first part of the screencast, I am not speaking into the mic—yet you can see the levels fluctuating as if there is static playing (not in a natural pattern that you'd see when someone is speaking). In the next part of the video I demonstrate that selecting the built-in iMac mic for input, and then re-selecting the Logitech headset temporarily solves the problem. You can see the input start to fluctuate normally as it should when I am speaking. But at 0:31 in the screencast, you can see the input levels freeze and stop registering anything. I continued to speak until the end of the screencast, but no input was detected. For this screencast, I was on a Go To Webinar call, but the problem occurs regardless of whether I'm using Skype, Go To Webinar, GarageBand or any other software.
    The problem with my Blue Yeti USB microphone is also different. In that case, the input does not freeze as it does with the Logitech headset. The levels appear as you would expect, and it seems to work. However, the person on the other end can hear static in the background, even though I don't hear it in my own headphones. I learned this because I just tried to do a Skype interview with the Blue Yeti, and the interviewer told me they could hear static. We closed Skype and called each other back twice, but the problem persisted. Then, suspecting the problem was related to what I described above with the Logitech, I unplugged the Yeti and then plugged it into my Macbook Air 2013 (also running Mavericks). Lo and behold the static completely disappeared.
    My Griffin iMic and Audio Technica lavalier mic (attached to the iMic) behaves similarly to the Yeti, except in this case I can hear the static when I speak with my monitoring headphones. The input works but I get a lot of cracking and static in the background. This was confirmed by calling the Skype Test Call number and recording a message, which is then played back.
    Here are the facts:
    All 3 of my USB audio microphones/headsets do not work with my 2013 iMac running Mavericks
    All 3 of these microphones/headsets worked fine with my 2008 Mac Pro running Mountain Lion
    All 3 of these microphones/headsets work fine with my 2013 Macbook Air running Mavericks
    In this other thread, several people are reporting similar issues with the iMac 2013 and Mavericks. At least two people did not have the issue when the iMac 2013 was running Mountain Lion. This of course suggests the issue is the combination of the iMac 2013 and Mavericks.
