Odd sound change in some games

Background: I recently installed Windows XP, and updated the drivers using the Creative Updater on the support site. since then whenever i run a specific game (DiabloII in this situation) the sound automatically gets louder and degraded. Previously I was running windows 98 with the .vxd version drivers without any issues. This occurs regardless of whether EAX/AudioHQ is installed or not. Originally I tried a driver upgrade installation, since then I've also tried a clean installation of the drivers with the same results..
sound card: Soundblaster Audigy (not mp3, platinum, gamer etc...) / 5.2.5.44 version drivers.
I've seen a couple of posts regarding the EAX control panel and settings while running some games. In the posts I've read, when AudioHQ is installed there is no ability to change the EAX settings while the game runs. Previous posts have suggested a clean installation of the drivers to remedy the issue, which does not seem to work in this case.
Mostly this is affecting me due to the fact i run a minidisc player on the line in jack. Even though I change the source of the line in settings, so that the line in doesn't use the master settings, the line in is still affected. In windows 98, if a game attempted to override the eax settings this was the fix i used.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Is it all apps or just some games. Some games have their own sound settings. If it is all apps, you may have system sounds muted.
If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.

[iPod 4] No sounds at some games

I bought an iPod. When I play some games I get no sounds. The same games on my old iPod 3 do have sounds. Anybody have the same thing happening?

The answer i think (don't no if its technically right but it worked and makes sense)
there are 2 individual sounds the game and the ringer/alarm sounds.
The games makers use the ringer/alarm channel for sound so the player can turn on/off music and on/off soundeffects.
So... thats it: I turned the ringer/alarm on highest volume. And now I got sounds in my games!
Problem fixed but I still find it weird that there's a relation between my alarm/ringer and game sounds. Should be seperate channels

My ipad is no longer playing sounds on some games

Some games won't connect to the Internet.

II've found that suddenly, some games and other apps can't access the Internet. They'll sit there, then finally give me a "Can't find a connection" message, even though I can surf the web. I've reset the router several times, but no change.

Hi Jwl3gg,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like you have an internet connection but some apps are having trouble. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.

AC97 Sound support in DOS games

I want to play some games and emulators in pure MS-DOS and/or FreeDOS using my KT3 UltraARU, but it doesn´t have any of that "DOS Legacy Audio" settings that appear in other mainboards' BIOS. Since there are no DOS specific audio drivers for the AC97, how do I get my computer sounding in a DOS environment ?

Those autoexec setting are valid when you can "activate" the DOS SoundBlaster emulation feature in the BIOS. The problem is that there's no way to activate that BIOS feature. I dont know if it is discarded by the BIOS programmers as DOS is obsolete nowadays. But, if you wish to do some emulator stuff with your computer, maybe DOS is the best and more stable choice. That's what I want to do, but MSI BIOSes do not let me use the integrated AC97 chip in pure DOS mode.
The question is: is there any workaround for my problem ?
Anyway, thanks for your interest.

Some games in pogo will not fully load

certain games look like they are loading but then the game screen will not come up but yet i can play some games i have look at every thing and not sure how to fix it

+it made a weird sound...+
Hard to say, but it may be his hard drive. Have him do do a hard shut down (hold the power key down for 5-10 seconds until it's off), try resetting the pram and SMC, then boot up with the 'Option' key down and hopefully his drive will appear as something to start up from. Failing this, I'd try starting to the Install DVD (hold C on startup with DVD in the drive) and when the top menu appears, run disc utility to verify/repair permissions and the drive itself. ....if the drive is recognized that is. If it's not, then that may be the issue. Seeing as you have an iMac, you could also try to access his drive via Target Disc Mode.

Poor sound quality on some iTunes songs

Downloaded some songs from iTunes and realized a really poor sound quality on some files.
The worst example is "Precious" from "Depeche Mode" (Album version). It seems to me that the AAC file is encoded at a much too high level, so its overdriven and distorted.
If i burn the song to CD and than analyze the track in WaveLab it is obvious that the song was encoded with a level more than 6dB over the usual level and i can see a lot of clippings.
Downloaded another song of another band that i allready have on CD, just to compare... and this song was much better. Even this was 3dB over the original CD level (and the song on CD had a peak level reserve of only 0.1dB), but while listening that song i heared no negative effects...
So from my point of view iTunes is not really an acceptable offer if i can't rely on a minimum sound quality of the songs that i pay for!
So, the question is:
Is this normal or is the "Depeche Mode" album only one rare bad example???

Yes, of cause, tried all.
EQ off, or EQ with all sliders a little below 0dB.
With my tests i saw no effect of the EQ to the CD burning quality.
Only if i change the CD burning options (in german "Lautstärke anpassen", something like "adapt volume" or so), than i get a CD that has the same bad quality, only at a lower volume.
The same distorted and overdriven sound with clippings at a lower level (peak -12dB).
What if it's really a bad file?
Do they fix such files?
Will i have a chance to download it again? (without paying another time?)

Odd Sound Behavior After 10.6.2 Update

I've had a few odd sound issues since updating to 10.6.2:
1) Volume is set at 50% after some reboots (I normally have it set at 12.5%). This has happened about 1/2 the time after reboots (which have unfortunately been much more often in 10.6).
2) While iTunes is playing the sound stops and the sound icon in the menu bar greys out. iTunes keeps 'playing' but I don't get any sound. This lasts for 5 - 10 seconds and happens a few times an hour but without any predictability.
It may happen at times that iTunes isn't playing and I just don't notice it. It has happened while the system as announcing the time as well. This may be the cause of sound issue #3 but I haven't caught the sound icon in a 'grey state' when the notification sounds don't play yet.
When the sound icon is grey I get the beach ball and Safari doesn't respond (standard 'Application not responding' message). Other apps seem to work while this is happening (Finder, System Prefs - including sound panel, FireFox, etc).
3) Some expected sounds used for feedback in Finder & Mail don't always work. This is very intermittent and may be happening more often then I notice these are notification sounds and I don't realize that I've missed them. I don't know if it's associated to the sound failure mentioned in #2.
~
I've also had some other odd behavior:
* System won't wakeup from sleep (not always but often enough to require several reboots in the last week).
* Safari just eats up RAM.
* Safari has locked up for no apparent reason (no clue as to what sets it off).
* Safari has locked up while using a Java applet. This only happens on occasion but always happens when launching a GoToMyPC session (GTMPC works fine in FireFox, even while Safari is locked up). This is separate from the Safari issue noted above.
I'm using 10.6.2 w/ Safari 4.0.4 & iTunes 9.0.2 (Flash not installed)

You could try [these grey sceen, etc., troubleshooting steps|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570] ignoring any duplicaion of what you already have don. And, you could try [these general troubleshooting steps|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1394] again ignoring duplication.
If all above fails, then I suggest you do a repair install of Sno by installing Sno over Sno as in an upgrade install. Such an install, while usually very safe, still is an install so be appropriated backed up if you proceed.

Can't hear sounds in videos and games

Can't hear sounds in videos and games? Hello. I have some problem with my SB Li've!. I'm using a Sound Blaster Li've! 5. Digital (it writes Model: SB0220 on it) sound card, attached on a Gigabyte Intel 945 S-Series motherboard. And I've installed the driver and software from the cd that i got out of the SB Li've!'s original box (Creative SB Li've! series, Release 5.2.3.296), and also installed my motherboard's onboard sound card driver (Realtek High Definition Audio Driver, Release: 5.0.0.5567). I'm running Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP3, using 4. Creative speakers.
I'm okay when listening mp3's or Windows system sounds, but when it comes to play a game or watch a video;
I cannot properly (or sometimes completely) hear sounds, if my EAX Equalizer is set up to something else from "No Effects",
I can hear every sound properly if my EQ is set up "No Effects".
Can anybody tell why this happens? I can give more information about my hardware and software if needed. Thanks so much for your time =)

No sound comimg from the games

I bought some games application from itunes store,the games are working but there is no sound coming from there. i had already check the sound settings from my iphone3Gs,but still no sounds coming from it.the games are NFS.ace combat,pacman,and etc,HOW CAN I ENABLE THE SOUND from this games.thanks

Let's start simple - is the ring/silent switch on the side set to silent (orange dot showing)? This affects only some games (depending on whether or not the developer chose to respect the ring/silent switch when coding the app).
Also, some games use the separate game volume control - so, try turning up the volume while playing those games (still the rocker switch on the side, but it's context-specific, so there are separate volume settings for headphones, speaker, ringer, and games).
