OS X Sound Glitch In ALL Games! Help!

Hello,
Recently all of my games suddenly stopped making sound! I don't know what is going on. A few nights ago I installed some DivX Codecs, and an AC3 sound codec, I thought maybe that has something to do with it but I'm not sure. This is in all of my games, such as Wolfenstien: ET and Knights of the Old Republic etc...
Any and all help will be much appreciated!
Thanks,
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I solved the problem by reading up a little bit on the crash and the solution is to open Audio Midi setup utility and to set the output to 44100 Hz

So just to be clear on a few things:
Should partitioning the hard drive not work is it undoable?
Will this have any impact on doing a complete erase and reinstall and will that restore it back from the process?
Is there a limited amount of space that makes this process ineffective?
I have never had to do this sort of thing so I just want to be sure I don;t wind up in the dog house *)
Thanks again

Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.

TS3274 My apps sound has stopped working. Music and Internet sound is fine but all games have no sound

My sound has stopped working only on games
Works fine for Internet and music
How do I fix this?

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.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

SB Titanium HD + Logitech Z5500 No Sound at all, PLEASE HELP

SB Titanium HD + Logitech Z5500 No Sound at all, PLEASE HELP:Yesterday i replaced my SB X-Fi Titanium Fatalty Professional Serier 7. Sound Card which was working perfectly fine with the new Titanium HD, i did a fresh install of Windows 7 and deleted my partitions so started completely from scratch. Installed the drivers that it came with, had no sound at all. Updated the sound driver to the latest one 3.00.004 and still no sound. I'm using the optical cable for 5. as i have no choice so i thought as i wasn't using opitical before maybe it doesn't work but then when i uninstalled the creative drivers windows installed it's own driver and i all of a sudden had sound, but it must have been using the onboard sound on my motherboard. Then i tried installing the latest Creative driver first instead of the one from the CD provided and still no sound. I spent 6 hours trying everything i could think of, on Creative's website it mentioned trying to change the frequenzy sampling rate to match your speakers, well i went through all of them in the settings?and still no sound. I've even taken the sound card out and reinstalled it again, still no sound. I'm really lost and could appreciate some help. Do you think the sound card could be faulty?
In device Manager the sound card shows up so it is being reconised, also on the opitical at the back of the card it glows a red colour.
The specs of my machine are:
Windows 7 Home Premium (orignal not a copy!)
Gigabyte P67A-UD7
Intel i7 2600k 3.40Ghz
Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR PC3-5000C9 866Mhz
ATI Radeon 6970
Also i've updated Windows 7, but to be honest i had no sound before the updates and no sound after installing all the updates and uninstalling the drivers and then reinstalling them. I feel like i'm a beaten man and it's so annoying, any advice PLEASE?

Please ignore my post, sooooo embarrassing, user error (hands up). Nothing wrong with the hardware or drivers.
As i didn't have to do this before when i was using my Fatalty card without using optical i honestly didn't give it a second thought but i had to go to the encoder settings from the creative audio software and change to Dolby or DTS, it was switched off so i chose Dolby at first and then my Logictech Z5500 5.1 LCD Panel changed to the Dolby sign and then there was light (sound). I felt very stupid indeed.
However it would have been REALLY helpful if i could have spoken to someone in person, it took me 6 hours before another kind poster from another website told me where i was going wrong, Creative really need to have a technical support phone line as their knowledge base is VERY limited!

DV8T - Sound Works Half the Time - HELP!

Hello,
I have had my DV8T-1200 for about a week now and this problem has existed the entire time I have owned the computer.
Sound works fine for an hour or so. Then, it gets into this strange situation. Sound stops working. If I look at the windows volume mixer, and it shows that whatever program is playing sound (Chrome, Rhapsody, WMC, WMP, Internet Explorer, etc.) has sound coming out of it (I know this because the volume indicators show the green sound bars bouncing all over), however, under the device sound in the mixer, it shows that no sound is coming out.
However, there is one very strange temporary fix - if I go to the control panel, open up the sound card settings dialog, and go to the "enhancements" tab, and then do the following procedure: disable enhancements, apply, re-enable enhancements, apply. Then sound starts working again 80% of the time. However, it only works for ONE more song, then immediately inbetween tracks some glitch happens again, and the sound goes back to not working. Usually I can do this enhancements-trick as many times as I want, and it will work. However, sometimes it does not work, and there is a different fix - if I tell the sound card options that a different device is the default, then reset the main sound as the default, sometimes this is the fix..
Here are the diagnostics I have tried:
I know nothing is muted.
I have tried headphones, problem is there as well.
I have updated the IDT drivers
I have updated the BIOS
I have went into the IDT HD audio configuration panel, and messed around with ALL the audio enhancements.
I have went into the control panel, to the sound options, and have ensured the the correct device is checked as the default.
I called HP, and they said "well we need to wipe your computer clean, and go back to factory settings. problem - it didnt' work them either, and the only thing I have installed is Rhapsody, and Microsoft office. So I just don't think this is a good fix.
PLEASE help! Is anyone else having these problems?

I also have a dv8t-1200 with windows 7 64 bit for less that a month now. As soon as I got it, I noticed that sound would work sometimes and not others. Usually when I use other audio sources like iTunes, or www.amazon.com mp3 samplers or the installed Corel Movie Wizard. I can usually fix it by starting and stopping all the programs, or bringing up the IDT audio control and doing some tests. It does not always occur the same way or the same time or under the same conditions that I can tell, but happens a lot. I think if the audio chip were going out, I could not easily play extended audio which is no problem. It is only when the mixer gets involved. Like you, the mixer shows the audio is still there, just not coming out of the speakers.
I HAVE noticed it happens ONLY (when I try and use one or both of the dual headphone jacks for external speakers.
I've tried all the fixes you have except wiping the system. I've also checked the option to let programs take exclusive control of the audio. Nothing works.
HP, are you listening, you have a problem here. Please fix it or I will have to return the PC.

Sound not right in games

im sure drivers will fix this in time, maybe try disabling EAX or 3d sound.... might help.

Windows 7 Update caused sound glitch

Hello
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium on a Dell Inspiron 1545.
I recently encountered an issue with my computer where there was some sort of memory leak that was causing constant freeze ups. Also, the sound on on any sort of media (iTunes, Netflix, youtube, etc.) would glitch every 30 seconds or so. By that I mean it
would sound as if the computer was lagging, but it was not always happening at the same times the computer freezing was.
After some research I determined that a Dell wireless driver was causing the memory leak, so I uninstalled it and the computer was no longer freezing up. However, the sound issue was still occuring. After a few days of great frustration, I decided to just
reformat my computer. The sound was working fine after the reformat, but then I installed all of the Windows updates and it is glitchy again.
I'm not sure what update did it as there were so many, but I uninstalled the service pack 1, but it didnt change anything, so I reinstalled it.
I have determined that it is a software issue and not hardware as if I plug headphones in I still get the glitch and when I did a Linux live boot, the sound worked fine.
I have run these tools, but they have found nothing:
Windows Memory Diagnostic
Windows performance troubleshooter
Windows audio troubleshooter
System File Check
MalwareBytes, Microsoft Security Essentials, Avira
I have also installed every and any driver I can find, but nothing has changed.
I am not sure what caused the initial problem before I reinstalled Windows as I hadn't downloaded anything or installed any new programs in at least 2 weeks. I've had the laptop for over a year and had no issues with it. This may sound crazy, but on the
day of the initial memory issues, there were high levels of Aurora activity due to a large solar flare; I have heard that the electromagnetic interference can screw with technology, but that seems a little farfetched to me.
If anyone has even the slightest idea what it could be, please let me know. I have been trying to fix this for almost a month now.
Thank you,
Jesse Ferland

Hi,
Regarding the issue, I would like to recommend you checking the issue in Safe Mode and let me know whether this issue occurs in Safe Mode.
Since you said this problem occurs after installing Windows Updates. I suggest you restore your machine to an earlier point then check the issue again.
Also you could contact your manufacture to check your sound card.
Hope that helps

The laptop fan makes sound when i play games on my laptop...what could be the problem?

the laptop fan makes sound when i play games on my laptop...what could be the problem?

Then install iStat Menus 4.04 so you can provide us with some temperature and fan speed data.
What about before you start the game? After you start the game do this:
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
If it's the game causing the problem then either something is wrong with the game or it's not compatible with Lion.

Sound lag when playing games

Hi,
My Z1 compact has sound issues when playing games.
There is a noticable sound lag of about a second (not much but is quite annoying), not only on newer games but also on the older ones, Angry Birds for example. My recorded videos or YouTube don't appear to have the same issue.
The problem seemed to occur after I had installed Worms 2: Armageddon when the phone got extremely hot and crashed. It was after the phone had reset and cooled down that I noticed the sound lag issue and Worms 2 was running at a very slow frame rate.
I then installed Worms 2 on my ASUS TF201 and it runs perfectly with no sound or heating issues.
I can't seem to find anyone else with this issue so i'm wondering if my phone is faulty.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
I suggest that you try to repair the phone software using PC Companion..
Before repairing your device you may want to backup your information first. Check out this topic for more information on how to.
How to backup?
If the issue should still remain I think that this needs to be examined and fixed at a repair center. For more information about how to submit your phone for repair and where, contact your local support team.

HP pavilion dv7 6165us windows 7 64 bit sound glitch 3-5 times an hour

i have a dv7 6165us and i have the sound glitch at least 3 times an hour it glitches for 2 seconds and interupts music video and games lagging.Ive talked to hp and ive done everything possible listed.
DRIVERS
REINSTALL SYSYTEM
TURN OFF DRIVEGUARD
TEST ISSUE WITH AC ADAPTER UNPLUGGED
UPDATE BIOS
HARD RESET SYSTEM
Ive tried everything and that annoying little glitch or pop or whatever is still there.the system is for my son for college so i dont have time to send it back to HP.does anyone and or HP have any suggestions.
By the way HP you are very quiet on these forums rarely interjecting with support.Whats the problem if youve solved this problem for only one person your system of support should be set up to pass these fixes on to other customers.Im not holding my breath for an answer but who knows maybe theres a HP tech who takes pride in there work thatll see this.
And if it is a known motherboard issue there should have been a recall and i never should have been sold a faulty machine.

You're very welcome.
You do have a point, and I agree wholeheartedly.
I'm sure folks have brought this up in the past, but I don't know why HP doesn't provide some official presence on these forums.
Sometimes some of the HP employee forum members will do things like get driver pages added for models with no support pages, but I have rarely if ever, seen where an HP volunteer forum member takes a techinical issue and "runs it up the flagpole," as it were.
Have you tried this driver (6.10.6365.0 (11 Nov 2011)?
It's a newer version of the one on your notebook's support and driver page.

I hope you can get the issue sorted out.

Sound quit on my game apps

I cannot hear the sound when I play my game apps. The side volume button is all way up and the sound bar on the sound scale (when tapping the home button twicw) is in the middle. What could be the cause? I have the new iPad.

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.
