Latest Update Causes Problem with Creative Sound Card?

I installed the latest Quicktime update (7.3.1) and Windows Media Player would no longer work, giving me a message that my sound card (Creative Sound Blaster Audigy) was broken. I ran the sound card diagnostics and indeed it failed several of the the test (particularly wav files). I also tried streaming music via my XM radio subscription and that also did not work.
I reverted my system to its previous state (before the Quicktime update) with Norton GoBack, and now everything works again.
Anyone have a similar problem? Is this a bug or perhaps was there a glitch in the installation that caused this?
Thanks,
wasaguru

I'm not having that problem, but I am having a problem of my computer being locked up once it goes into sleep mode.

Latest update causing problems with my itunes update on my computer,

Have had to delete itunes on my computer to try to get this update to upload. I cannot even access an earlier version. I have tried everything from uninstalling to cleaning my hard drive and still it will not install.

ITunes update 11.1.4 would not install and I received the following error message.
"The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem".
A temporary solution was to restore my system to a date before the 11.1.4 update was applied.
This worked and I was again able to use iTunes except that synchronisation between iTunes, my iphone and ipad was frustrated. I received an message to the effect that “you need to turn on synchronisation in isync preferences before you can sync contacts and calendars.”
Further research on these boards revealed that this problem too was apparently caused by the Apple update could only be resolved by installing the latest version of iTunes i.e. 11.1.4
Thus a clean install of iTunes 11.1.4 was obviously necessary for complete functionality.
Thus I followed the procedures detailed by Turingtest2 here
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6562
I carefully deleted all of the Apple related programs and folders I could find as suggested.
I had problems deleting Apple Mobile Device Support. I eventually managed it though by variously
using CONT-ALT-DEL to enter Task Manager and then Processes and then halted(ended) any Apple process I was able to find. It eventually deleted but not without a struggle!
I then performed a clean installation as described ensuring I right clicked on the download and selected Run as Administrator.
Itunes 11.1.4 was then installed with no loss of previously downloaded material – books music etc.
Not impressed with this Apple update at all…… a seemingly very cavalier approach to customer care.

Problem with the sound card

Hello everyone,
So here for 2-3 days, the sound of my Macbook starts beuguer (buy in October 2014). So when starting the mac when I listen to music all goes well, I can adjust the sound using the keys on my keyboard, and when I ca defois support appears to me that the sound is cut off, I think it 'is a problem with the sound card. But as soon as I plug in headphones, not set I have to go through the system preferences. By unplugging the problem remains the same on his fate, but impossible to resolve through the keyboard. I tried to put the volume icon on the top bar but even by setting it does not work here. The problem resolves itself after 30 minutes-1 hour. It's very annoying. Thank you in advance for your answers.

Hi, Dolve
This could be either hardware or software, so let's start with trying to get all drivers and software up to date. This page has updates for all your system. I would recommend getting at least your latest audio driver and BIOS downloaded. Following the installation, try using your sound again and see if the issue still persists.
Best,
Adam

Did you download and install the latest Realtek Audio drivers from the Realtek site?
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownT...
Accept the agreement. Download and install the first or second driver on the list depending on whether you installed W7 32 or 64 bit.
If that doesn't work, I don't have any other suggestions for you to try.

I thought I'd share my most recent visitation of the digital poltergeist that is the Audigy 2 SB024x.
I was looking around my WinXP system panel and noticed that some program had changed the PERFORMANCE->ADVANCED->MEMORY USAGE from PROGRAMS (default) to SYSTEM CACHE.
Keep in mind as I detail this to you that this build is only a week old, and I've installed very few programs on it, drivers and test utilities mostly...
Anyway, I change the setting back to the default value (PROGRAMS) and hit OKAY. That very instant, the machine reported detecting new hardware, an Audigy! Given that I already had an A2 installed and mostly functional, this came as quite a revelation.
I checked the Device Manager, and sure enough, there it was. An Audigy was indicated as having been installed in the place of the newer model.
I reboot the computer, and when I revisit the Device Manager, the Audigy2 is back, BUT there is a problem (ROLMAO), the card's firewire adapter is all of the sudden marked as broken, so I uninstall it and reboot.
The machine goes through its startup, and I check the firewire and its okay, NOW, in Device Manager. Good, me thinks.
Then I go back and run 3DMark03, looking for my error message: FMOD error in FSOUND_SetPaused: Not enough memory
The benchmark completes without incident three times and the problem is solved. No more messing with my memory timings or sound accelartion. Hurrah!
In closing, I want to apologize to anyone whose patience that I may have tested with this mini-testament.
I have no idea why this series of cards http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=290217 is so difficult to configure for the K8N, but its really kind of a nightmare, IMO, and MSI really needs to take a look at it.
Please guys, there is a problem here, so would you please check it out for us.
Thanks,
Moe

IOS 8.0.2 update causing problems with wifi connectivity..please help

latest update having problems ...please help..!!!!!!!!!!

Just a quick snapshot of my chain of events. I’m currently on my fourth iPhone 6 Plus 64GB here in London, UK. Every time I have spoken to AppleCare and told them that I have gone through all the Wi-Fi troubleshooting methods possible they have asked me to get a brand new retail replacement as I’m within my 14 day return period. I’ve been experiencing the following issues:
Wi-Fi disconnects and switches to 4G (Restart required for temp fix)
Wi-Fi is still active but there is no traffic or activity– often when in sleep mode for long periods of time. (Toggle Wi-Fi on/off for temp fix)
Wi-Fi disconnects and cannot find any networks (restart required for temp fix)
This has been occurring on both iOS 8 and 8.0.2
The issues are the same on both my 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz networks
This is affecting my ip6+ and 5s (5s used to work perfect on ios7 on same networks) – My MBP-R and all other devices run perfectly on my network.
I spoke to AppleCare again yesterday and asked for their advice as its now my fourth iPhone in just under a month. This time they said that apple were fully aware of the Wi-Fi problem and that new repair tickets were not being raised for their engineers as they are already working hard to get this resolved. They also said they could see all the issues raised on the apple discussions boards which they usually don’t admit too! I asked what to do next and the advisor apologised and said this is clearly a software glitch and will be resolved in the next update. I asked for a timescale but unfortunately none was given.
As stated above I have tried all the troubleshooting methods discussed on forums and on tech websites but the only thing that gives me a stable connection without any disconnects (especially on my 6 plus) is turning cellular/mobile data off when I know I’m going to be on Wi-Fi for a sustained period of time (e.g. at home or work). I appreciate this is annoying but it’s the best temp fix until an update comes out.
Hope it helps everyone who is having issues with their devices that have cellular functionality.
Any comments welcome

:( I stilll have problems with my sound card

OK, I finally got the right drivers for my OEM soundcard and everything works fine. Of course, the one thing that doesn't work is the thing I bought the sound card for. In games like Battlefield2, whenever I choose Creative X-Fi it says I don't have the right hardware, but I do. Any ideas on what is wrong? (also, I made sure all the other settings were correct)

I have a dual boot dv6426us fwiw, but when I tried to UPDATE an audio driver under XP, I experienced similiar problems with the headphone jacks and also some goofy behavior with the quicklink touch mute button. I reverted back to Conexant High Definition Audio 3.26.0.50 11/09/2006 and I was back in business. My point is I guess, is that the wrong driver WILL and CAN cause issues that "I" wouldn't have guessed to be driver related

Multiple problems with Creative Sound Blaster Live X-Gamer CT4

First I'd like to point out that I'm lacking the installation CDs, the manual, etc.
My problem is the following: I've downloaded what I think are the appropriate drivers for this sound card from the Creative Labs site. Correct me if I'm wrong or if I actually have to re-download a driver installation package from some other place in particular
Ok, concretely, my problem is that the drivers either are not matching, or there's something wrong with my card (it slows down my system on the startup)
Here are some pics of my current situation:

Please forgive me I'm having some type of problem with uploading images and showing them here directly.
BTW, there's some type of "cord" in the sound card that isn't plugged into anything in my computer. Do I need to connect it somewhere?

Try this. I also have the ISO image for the CD and I can send it to you but it's 540MB and require you to provide me a place to upload to.

Latest update causes problems on iPhone 3

The most recent update for iPhone causes serious problems on my iPhone 3. The screen size is no longer accurate; top or bottom text dissapears. Some apps are no longer useable. The speed of the iPhone dropped down to ridiculous slowness. Has anyone else experienced similar issues, and more importantly, has anyone found a solution? We just got a new Macbook Pro, the iPhone is not connecting, so we cannot remove the latest update. Kind of catch 22...

The screen size is no longer accurate; top or bottom text dissapears.
Did you happens to have Zoom: ON
in Settings > General > Accessibility >
Zoom: ON?
Large Text: ON?
If so, switch it OFF.
so we cannot remove the latest update
No, downgrading is never supported

Verizon is the 4.3 update causing problems with my phone because my phone is having problems

I have been having multiple problems with my GS3 since the 4.3 update including wifi connection issues dropped and frozen calls frequent unmounting of my sd card bluetooth problems to site the worst. I have updated and reset my router checked and reset my phone settings multiple times taken my baterry out of my phone 2 a day on average turned my phone off multiple times a day to reset it. I am now wondering what will fix all these problems because nothing i have read from your forums has done anything, how much longer do i have to pay full monthly prices for services i can no longer full monthly access?

Your phone is a mini computer, no matter what os it runs.
Software updates from various developers , patch and patch again. Adding to the original App software already on your device. Not only do updates apps take up more room on your device with each update, but imperfect updates and the communication with other services on your phone lead to many software "glitches".   When there are major software errors, the best remedy is to clean it out and start it fresh.
It is recommended for Apple devices suffering from battery life problems, app crashes, lack of device storage and other issues after the iOS 7 update.
Android devices are no different.
It is drastic, but sometimes unavoidable.   Don't forget to back up any information that is unique to the device.

Firmware update caused problems with HBD-N790W

Latest firmware update caused my DVD Blu Ray Home Theater to lose the ability to find internet video content. The unit shows that the 12/19 update was successful. I can access the internet and get web browser content--so there isn't anything wrong with my wireless web connection. My unit shows the connection to the internet is working. I made a YouTube video about it:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nqYNNVPcBA&list=UUNQaJbjyKQwFlZXY6832mIA The set-up feature does not work and I lost my video channels (Netflix, Amazon). I don't really understand why my connection to the internet works, my wireless works...everything works except getting updated media channels. I have tried plugging and unplugging cable, modem, wireless, unit, for ten minutes many times. I reconnect the unit to the web...get buttons that say that internet content can be updated...press the button...then the Sony logo and it stops there.

Hi, i work for a Service center for walmart and bestbuy and i have been getting this model in for service for awile now, after a firmware update the systems have reported to work good till there turned off the first time and then they dont book up all the way, you will get a Sony logo at top left screen and the Blue Bluray Logo in the center of the tv screen and thats it, no menu functions the controls on the player it self flash on and off slowly you can turn the system on and off with the remote but thats it, this looks like a failed firmware update but there seems to be no way to reflash these even with the firmware you can get from the sony site you have to burn a CDR disk but becuse there is no menu you cant get that far, i have 19 of these units stacked up 5 have been replaced with other brands to make customers happy, the rest on still in wait for a fix, its looking like replacement of main board will be the next step in this night mare. if sony tech wants to shine some lite on this now i would be very gratefull. Thanks Chris R.

Java update causes problems with color printing in Mac 10.5

Had a big problem with color printing for the last two weeks. Thought the printer was broken because it would freeze and refuse to be "seen", or would generate error messages. Bought new Samsung 315, and had the SAME problem. Bought new HP CP1518ni, and had the SAME problem. Not resolved after talking to tech support at both places.
Looked for software updates around the time of the onset of printing problems. on May 15 installed "Java for Mac OS X 10.5 update" (1.0) (am running on 10.5.8). Removed the Java preferences files (com.apple.java......plist) and restarted.
Problem solved! Clearly not the printer.

Hmmm. This is about the time my printer stopped printing too. I've now had two printers in my house and had trouble with both of them. What a pain we should not have to delete updates for our stuff to work together.
