Need a little Help with my new xfi titanium
+Need a little Help with my new xfi titanium< A few questions here.
st question? Im using opt out port on the xfi ti. card and using digital li've on a windows 7 64 bit system,? I would like to know why when i use 5. or 7. and i check to make sure each speakear is working the rear speakers wont sound off but the sr and sl will in replace of the rear speakers. I did a test tone on my sony amp and the speaker are wired correctly becasue the rear speakers and the surrond? left and right sound off when they suppose too. Also when i try to click on? the sl and sr in the sound blaster control panel they dont work but if i click on the rear speakers in the control panel the sl and sr sound off. Do anyone know how i can fix this? So i would like to know why my sl and sr act like rears when they are not?
2nd question? How do i control the volume from my keyboard or from windows period when using opt out i was able to do so with my on board? sound max audio using spidf? Now i can only control the audio using the sony receiver.
Thank you for any help..

I'm unsure about the first question. Do you even have a 7. system and receiver? If you just have 5., you should be able to remap the audio in the THX console.
I do have a sony 7. reciever str de-995 its an older one but its only for my cpu. At first i didnt even have THX installed because it didnt come with the driver package for some reason until i downloaded the daniel_k support drivers and installed it. But it doesnt help in anyway.
I have checked every where regarding the first question and alot of people are having problems getting sound out of there rear channels and the sound being re-mapped to the surround right and the surround left as if there rear left and rear right.
I read somewhere that the daniel_k support drivers would fix this but it didnt for me and many others.
For the second question i assumed it would be becasue of the spidf pass through and that my onboard sound card was inferior to the xfi titaniums. But i wasnt sure and i was hopeing that someone would have a solution for that problem because i miss controlling the volume with my keyboard.

Need a little help with dial setup on CME
I've got a CME I'm using for testing and I think I need a little help figuring out the proper config to get the system to accept numbers I dial and have those numbers be passed on to an Avaya system (including the leading 9 for ARS in Avaya) via H.323 IP trunks. I have it working well for internal 5 digit extension calls across the H.323 trunks and I also have it working well for some types of outside calls that gets passed on to the Avaya and then the Avaya dials the call out to the PSTN. My only real problem is, I can't figure out how to correctly configure CME to examine the digits I'm dialing and only send the digits once I'm finished dialing....not as soon as it sees an initial match.
What's happening is this. I can dial local numbers in my area as 7 digits or 10 digits. The phone company doesn't yet force us to dial area code and number for local calls (10 digits). I can still dial 7 digits. But...if I put an entry in CME that looks like this....
(by the way, the 192.168.1.1 IP is not the real IP address, that's just an example, but the rest of this entry is what I really have entered in CME)
dial-peer voice 9 voip
description Outside 7 Dig Local Calls Via Avaya
destination-pattern 9.......
session target ipv4:192.168.1.1
dtmf-relay h245-alphanumeric
no vad
...Then it will always try to dial out immediately after seeing the first 8 digits I dial (9 plus the 7 digit number I called)...even though I have a speicifc entry in the system that accounts for calls to 9 plus area code 513. I would have assumed that if I put the specific entry in for 9513....... it would see that and wait to see if I was actually dialing something to match 9513....... instead of 9....... Understand what I mean? Because 9513....... is more specific than 9....... but it still tries to send the call out immediately after seeing the first 8 digits I dialed.
dial-peer voice 9513 voip
description Outside 10 Dig Local Calls Via Avaya
destination-pattern 9513.......
session target ipv4:192.168.1.1
dtmf-relay h245-alphanumeric
no vad
...BUT...here's the interesting thing. If I trace the 10 digit call in Avaya, I see that the number being presented to the Avaya PBX is only the first 7 digits of the number....not the full 10 digits...BUT I see a few more of the digits I dialed (like the 8th and 9th digits) after the call is already setup and sent to the PSTN. It's like the CME is trying to send the rest of the 10 digits I dialed, but at that point it's already too late. It setup the call as a 7 digit call (9 plus 7 digits), not 10 digit like I wanted.
I'm more familiar with how to setup dialing in the Avaya via ARS. My background is Avaya, not Cisco, so this dial-peer config is a little difficult for me until I understand the reasoning of how it examines the numbers and what I should do to make it wait for me to finish dialing....or to tell the system that what I'm dialing will be a minimum or a certain amount of digits and maximum of a certain amount of digits, like the Avaya does. I just need some pointers and examples to look at :-) I think I've almost got it....but I'm just missing something at the moment.
Just so you understand, the call flow should be like this: Cisco phone registered to CME > CME to Avaya via H.323 trunks > Avaya to PSTN via ISDN PRI trunks connected to Avaya. I have to be sure I send the 9 to the Avaya also, because 9 triggers ARS in the Avaya.
Thanks for your helpHere is a good document that explains how dial-peers are matched in the Cisco world:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk652/tk90/technologies_tech_note09186a008010fed1.shtml#topic7
In your case, it is variable length dial plan you are trying to implenent. To fix it, you need to add a T to force the system to wait for more digits to be entered if there is any.

In need of immediate help with FCP new user taking over colleagues position
Good Morning. I am in urgent need of some help with a specific final cut pro question. My coworker and I have been working on a video project for our employer, a university. He ran the editor (FCP) and I ran the logistics of setting things up, keeping the contacts and scheduling, etc.
He has left until late August and there are two major typos in his work which is posted to the web at the moment. I need to correct these typos and have less than a faint idea of how to do it.
First of all, what is the file's last three letters? (.doc, .mov, etc...)
Second, can I edit this as easily as I think I can? Just click in the text file along the bottom timeline and edit that way?
How do I export the movie as an mp4 file after i have edited it.
Anything else that would be deemed helpful is always appreciated!
I really appreciate the help. I was never trained on this program because I never needed to be. Unfortunately, as it turns out, I did.
Thanks for the help!You need to locate the Project file. Which will be somewhere in your colleague's User space.
In the Finder, press command and F to activate the Find function.
Make sure the following parameters are set:
Search *This Mac* and Contents
Kind is Documents
Type the project name.
The icon looks like this:
Double click it to launch Final Cut Pro with the project.
To locate the text overlay, click on the Timeline to make it active. Use the down arrow on your keyboard to jump from one cut to the next. The text overlay will look similar to this:
Double click on the Text clip. This will place it in the Viewer (the left "monitor").
Click the "Controls" tab above the Viewer and make your changes. Press Return.
Clicking anywhere in the Timeline once more will update it.
Make sure that no clips are selected and the Timeline is the active window.
Go to the menu bar: File > Export > Using QuickTime Conversion.
In the window that opens, make sure that Format is set to QuickTime Movie.
Click the Options button. Look at the top of the next window.
Does it say Compression Setting: H264? If it does, great.
If not, click the settings button and choose H264 from the *Compression Type* button.
At bottom left, drag the Quality slider to Best. Click OK.
This brings you back to the previous window.
Click on Size if you need to change something -there are a number of presets, but you can choose a custom size if you wish. Click OK.
That window is dismissed and returns you to the Save dialog.
Type a name and choose a destination for your file.

Need a little help with RAF logic
So Im making a program to give different users, different rights. This is the method that appends them to file and Map
* Writes the players rights to the appendages
* @param playerName Player to update
* @param playerRights Rights to give the player
* @param pointer The lines index in the files
* @throws IOException If a read/write error occours
public void writeRights(String playerName, Rights playerRights, long pointer) throws IOException {
rightsRAF.seek(pointer);
rightsRAF.write(("\n" + playerName + "::" + playerRights).getBytes());
if(rightsRAF.read() != '\n') {
rightsRAF.seek(rightsRAF.getFilePointer()-1);
rightsRAF.write("\n".getBytes());
rightsMap.put(playerName, playerRights);
}1. The RAF goes to the predetermined index in the file, pointer, which is the line the users name starts on. Entries are stored in the file as "name::RIGHTS"
2.It writes out the players name, and rights
3. It checks to see if it accidentally wrote over the \n
My problem now, is that some rights are longer than others. For example, if there was already an entry, "name::MODERATOR" and you overwrite it, with "name::OWNER" then it would turn into "name::OWNERATOR" because the rest of the line wasn't overwritten.
I need some help with logic to determine how to overwrote the entire line, because sometimes you could go from a short one, to a long one, and need to append a new \n character, and sometimes you could go the other way around from long to short and end up with two words fused, I cant figure out how to determine whats a word that got partially overwritten and whats a new line totally.
ThanksAs pointed out you need to have fixed size records, or at least a maximum size.
You also have another problem nobody commented on yet (I don't think) with the getBytes() calls. At that point in your code you will mangle most unicode Strings.
All things being equal here I think your best solution is to use an embedded database like JavaDB with JDBC. I think you will find an XML solution to slow for your purposes.
If you decide to continue the RAF route though here is an example. I know this is not exactly what you are doing but you can extrapolate from this...
public void updatePlayerName(String playerName, int playerIndex){
int recordlength = 200;
byte[] buff = playerName.getBytes("UTF-8");
if(buff.length>recordlength){
//truncate bytes. this is also not great because a character at the end could be mangled
byte[] temp = new byte[recordlength];
System.arraycopy(buff,0,temp,0,temp.length);
buff = temp;
long pointer = playerIndex * (recordlength+4);// plus 4 bytes per record for actual length
raf.seek(pointer);
raf.writeInt(buff.length);
raf.write(buff);
public String getPlayerName(int playerindex){
int recordlength = 200;
long pointer = playerIndex * (recordlength+4);
raf.seek(pointer);
int lengthToRead = raf.readInt();
//length to read should be checked for sanity or bad things will happen next
byte[] buff = new byte[lengthToRead];
raf. readFully(buff);
return new String(buff,"UTF-8");
}And then of course you'd have to add storing the "rights". It gets complicated in a hurry. I do really recommend the JDBC route. -

Need a little help with Slimbox (Lightbox clone) and Spry data sets
Hello guys!
First of all let me say that I'm not a programmer in any way,
shape or form, and somehow I managed to build me a dynamic
thumbnail gallery that reads data from an XML file and displays it
on my webpage using a Spry data set and a slider widget (yay!)
This is of course only thanks to the many great examples
provided by the Adobe Spry team, and me being stubborn enough to
keep at it, even though I don't really understand what I'm doing :D
But I got to this point where I have basically everything
working, except that I can't get the Slimbox (Lightbox clone)
script to work with the Spry-generated thumbnail gallery.
From what I could understand from other threads on this
forum, is that I need to add an observer somewhere, only that I'm
not sure where and how (those threads are pretty old and the
examples aren't available anymore).
I'm sure you guys know what I'm talking about, anyway, here's
what I got so far:
http://www.riotdesign.com.ar/misc/gallery/test1.html
I have the thumbnail gallery populated from the external XML
file, a basic page navigation using the Sliding Panels widget, and
the Slimbox script which works only on the static test image.
Okay I guess that's it for now, sorry for the long post and
of course any help with this will be GREATLY appreciated :)
Thanks & bye!Kev,
Where exactly does the .evalScripts = true; text need to go?
Does it go in the href call?
<a href="ManageNotes.asp" title="Manage Notes" onClick="this.blur();
Modalbox.show(this.href, {title: 'Manage Notes', width: 575}); return false;">View your notes.</a>
Thanks for any assistance.

Need a little help with G3 Clameshell...Please
I just received this Clameshell, and it only has OS9 on it, I haven't used 9 in forever, and really need to get OSX on it. I have retail Panther cd's. But I hear I need to update the firmware, if it isn't updated yet.
I know I can find out which I have in System Profiler, but I can't find it in there. Is it called something else? What part of System Profiler is it in(in OS9).
Also, I have Cable net, this Clamshell was always used with dial up, how can I switch things around in it so I can hook up my ethernet cable and run with it? Is that possible with OS9? Or will I have to update the firmware a different way.
I am stuck. Need lots of help.
Thanks!!!
veganjusticeIs it called something else? What part of System Profiler is it in(in OS9).
It is in the field called "Boot ROM".
...how can I switch things around in it so I can hook up my ethernet cable and run with it?
Open the TCP/IP control panel. Configure it to use Ethernet and DHCP to get an IP address. -
Hi all, I’m having a little issue with After Effects. I’m a second year Computer Games Design Student and I’m in the process of wrapping up my various modules for the year.
One of my modules is 3D and animation, I’ve rendered my final animation out as PNG’s. There are enough to run at 24 frames a second to suit the 22 second audio clip. When I put the images into After Effects as a PNG sequence the sequence is only 18 seconds long, and renders out at 18 seconds.
I set the composition to 22 seconds long and made the frame rate 24 seconds when I first started the comp. I have a layer of the PNG’s ( The frames you’ll see) and a second layer of PNG’s (A Zdepth render from 3D Studio Max) to create a depth of field effect.
How do I get those PNG’s to render out at the speed I want? They always render out too quickly.
This will probably turn out to be something really simple, I apologise if it is! I tried looking online for other people asking, but I’ve got too many deadlines in the next week and can’t afford to spend time looking around. I’d greatly appreciate if someone could give me a hand.
Thank you.Make sure that you're interpreting the still-image sequence footage item at the right frame rate. Read this page.

Need a Little Help with Understanding How Layers Work in PSE
I have PSE version 5 and I am using it on a PC with Windows XP.
As I get more into editing photos, I am enjoying it, but confusion is also starting to set in. My question is about layers. When I go to edit a photo for web/email use only, I start by resizing it to 72 ppi and then reducing the pixel dimensions quite a bit. Then after that I normally go through this process of editing the photos by using normally about three different commands. One is Levels, then I may go to Shadows/Highlights, and then my last command is always sharpening. I used to do this all on one layer, but then finally learned to put each one of these editing features on their own layer so I can make changes/deletions without too much trouble.
When I started doing the separate layers, I was just making a copy of the background layer each time and then touching that particulay layer up with Levels, Sharpen or Shadows/Highlights. But I noticed that depending on the order in which the layers were placed, some changes would be obscured. If I put the Levels layer on top, and then the Sharpen layer and the Shadows/Highlight layer below that, the sharpen effect and the shadows/highlights effects were no longer there. I could only see the levels effect. The photo was still not sharp and so on. If I put the Sharpen level on top, then the photo showed the sharpen effects, but now the Levels and Shadows/Highlights effects were no longer visible.
So then I started to make a copy of the background initially, do a levels adjustment here, then, instead of making a copy of the original background layer again, I would make a copy of the layer that now has the levels changes on it. Then do the sharpen effect on this layer. This way I had all the changes on one layer as long as I put that layer as the top layer. But then I realized that I once again fI didn't have a layer with only one fix on it. Finally, I started to use an adjustment layer for Levels, put this as the top layer, make a copy of the background layer, do shadows/highlights, copy background layer again, do sharpen, and this seems to work a little better. But even with this way, depending on what order I place the sharpen and shadows/Highlights layers, one of them still seems to get obscured by the layer above it.
Can someone help me to understand how layers work in this regard. I am obviously a little confused here.
Thanks,
LeeYou really aren't working efficiently. First of all, do your editing on a full sized version of the photo, since you have more data for PSE to work on and will get better results. Use save for web to make your web/email copy when you are totally done. You can resize it down on the right side of the save for web window.
Duplicating a regular layer makes an opaque layer that obscures the layers below it. It's best to start off by not working on your original image, so that you don't have to worry if you mess up. If you're working on a copy, you can work right on the background layer, or only duplicate the layer once and apply your changes to that. So you'd apply both shadows/highlights and sharpening to the same layer.
Finally, you should use an adjustment layer for levels. Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Levels. This will put levels on a transparent layer above your image, but you will need to click the layer below it to get back to a pixel layer to apply other changes (you can't sharpen an adjustment layer, for example). -
Need a little help with JFrame
I have looked all over the net for my answer but guess i am just not putting two and two together.
I want to be able and edit the size of this JFrame but can not figure out how to set the default size and i know it is something simple but just a little over my head as i am a newb. I appreciate any help offered.
class Browser extends JFrame {
private JButton button;

button = new JButton("Open Browser");
this.getContentPane().add(button);
this.pack();
this.setSize(500, 600);

this.setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

Thanks again for your help.iheartgeeks wrote:
I would suggest using GridBagLayout - this will allow you to specify the position of your components in the frame.As do all layout managers, to some degree.
As Michael_Dunn said, you're using two sizing methods which are, I suspect, giving you undesirable results. Delete the pack and see what happens. Delete the set size and see what happens. If you need further assistance, trying being more specific about the expected results, desired results and actual results.Good try, but not quite there.
Swing has a couple ways to specify component sizes:
PreferredSize -- This is the size some layout managers (pretty much anything but Grid) use to determine a default starting size when computing your layout. Most components will calculate this for you without you doing anything.
MinimumSize & MaximumSize -- Self explanatory
Size -- The current size of the component. This will be probably be wiped out when any layout managers start messing around with your frame
the .pack() call is actually more important than you think. It will compute the smallest container size that allows your components to be sized to at least their preferredSize. Note that this must be done before making the frame visible
So in short, when setting up a Swing layout
1) If you're using GridLayout, don't bother setting PreferredSize, everything gets the same size; otherwise, don't set PreferredSize explicitly until you need to.
2) Call frame.pack() before frame.setVisible()
3) Run your gui and see what happens. At this point, if any components need to have their PreferredSize set, do it now. -
Need a little help with an animated JButton.
I have a nice little button that on mouse entry runs a morf animation from one picture to another then stops.
On leaving the button it runs the animation in reverse. The animation is done with two GIF images loaded as
Icons using ImageIcon. Now this looks really nice, BUT it only dose it the first time the button is entered
and the first time the button is exited. After this is abruptly switches from the "un-entered" button icon to the
"entered" button icon (the end frame of the respective GIF animation's). I originally tried using the
setRolloverIcon etc. When that did not work I thought that I would be able to get the images to be loaded
each time by adding a MouseListener and using the mousePressed, mouseReleased, mouseEntered,
mouseExited etc. methods. This gives me the situation described above. In the MouseListener methods a
line like the following is used:
((JButton) e.getSource()).setIcon (new ImageIcon (MainWindow.
class.getResource ("images/selected.gif")));
How can I get the Button to run the animation every time it is entered | exited? The GIF from which the
icons are made are set to run the animation through once, not an end less loop which would not be the
desired effect.
Any suggestions would be great
Thank you
M Pratten.Well I guess I should of just kept trying "lunch helps".
Any way to get the image to reanimate each time the mouse pointer enters leaves the button I changed the
code in the mouseListener to something like:
ImageIcon i = new ImageIcon (MainWindow.class.getResource ("images/selected.gif"));
i.getImage().flush ();
((JButton) e.getSource()).setIcon (i);
I am assuming the flush puts the GIF animation back at its first frame so it has to redo the animation, which is
exactly what I want.
Now if any of the local experts know of a better way of doing this I would be happy to hear about it. But at
the moment it seems to work just fine.
Thanks to those that read my post.

Need a little help with a Jbutton not working out the way I planned
The following code is to fulfill an assignment I am working on. The problem I am having is with the btnCalc. For some reason when the button is used, the results I get is from another button. I think the variables are set right for the program to function properly but I am really hung up on this. Do anyone have any suggestions?

}This portion to be exact. All the buttons work for me except this one. I need to calculate user input and also use the fixed data that can be found in the dblTrmLoanRate array. When I choos to use user input instead, the program either crashes or for some reason uses the year7InterestRateBtn instead.
if (command == btnCalc)
//dblLoanAmount = Double.parseDouble(txtTotalMort.getText() ); // Loan amount
//interestRate = Double.parseDouble(txtInterestRate.getText() ); // /100 )/ 12; // Devides rate
intRate = (Double.parseDouble(txtInterestRate.getText() )/100 )/ 12;
//int intYearsMonths = Integer.parseInt(txtYearsInput.getText() );// * 12; //Multiplies loan length
int months = Integer.parseInt(txtYearsInput.getText() )* 12;
I was going to leave out the remed portion but thought it might help you with the navigation. I am sorry I did not use code tags, but I am going to go find out what those are and use them in the future. -
Need a little help with a trivia game
Hey guys I was wondering if I could get some help. I'm taking a class at school for java programming and its my first class. And I have to do a final assignment, which is to make a java trivia game. I have all the parts coded already pretty sure. Now be forewarned that I'm not "that" great at programming.
But the part that I'm stuck on and cant really get any help on is this: For the game I need to have a file with all the questions and answers, which is created already and works. The file writer has the question, choice 1, choice 2, choice 3, choice 4 and the answer written to it, in that order. We needed to implement a GUI and I coded that as a message label on top where the question will go, in the middle 4 radio buttons where the choices to the answer will go and on the bottom a next question, ok and quit button.
My question is this: How do I pull the information from the file that was written to appear in the GUI, such as the question and the choices for the answers for the question? ANY and ALL help would be appreciatedRead the information using a BufferedReader wrapped around a FileReader. Change your GUI using setText on the component you want to display the text.
Edit: An example that does both things
import java.io.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class FileAndSwing {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(
new FileReader("FileAndSwing.java"));
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
for ( String line = null; (line = reader.readLine()) != null; ) {
builder.append(line).append("\n");
JFrame frame = new JFrame("FileAndSwing.java");
frame.setSize(500, 500);
JTextArea field = new JTextArea();
frame.add(field);
field.setText(builder.toString());
frame.setVisible(true);
}This is also kind of a Quine :-).

Hi there... I need a little help with buttons and their actions using flex builder 4.5
I run a repo company and have zero experience in the developing applications and I could use some help from anybody that is willing to give it.... Here is a basic idea of what I need... let's say there are 3 states... state 1 has a question that says "car you read this?" and a "yes" and a "no" button... when you select either answer, you go to slide 2. Slide 2 with have a question like "Is the sky brown?" and a "yes" and a "no" button and when either button is selected, you are taken to Slide 3. Slide 3 needs to be some sort of a text form that is created by the user selecting the buttons and the screen would say something like "yes, i can read this. no, the sky is not brown", or "no, I can't read this. yes, the sky is brown" . I know how to get the buttons to take the user to the correct new slide, but I do not know how to get the buttons to insert specific text somewhere else when any button is selected.... Can anybody help me? Youtube is only getting me so far, and my kids are driving me nuts while I'm trying to figure this monster out... I've gotten several slides created and some screens have several buttons, I just need to see what I need to put in the code to get it to do this type of function
Also where can I read up on setting my .Xdefaults and xmonad.hs file? I ripped someones from this forum, and it works nice, but I want to make my onw, but cant find any decent documentation. Thanks.
At the moment, the best source for configs are those posted in the screenshots thread (for both Xdefaults and xmonad.hs), the xmonad config archive (and the available docs from the root page on that site), and our own thread. Unfortunately you'll have to sort of scrounge for good docs on the xmonad.hs at the moment, since most of the information was written for the 0.4 version of xmonad. The configuration has since been made MUCH simpler.
Hope that helps some.
