2 issues with X-Fi Titanium software (Dolby Digital related)

These arnt anything major but worth fixing IMO.
1. There is a slightly noticable sound quality drop in nati've Dolby Digital sources when using the "Speakers" as the defualt device compared to using SPDIF in Windows playback devices.
For example I have a movie encoded in Dolby Digital, I use the optical input on my 5. and leave "Speakers" as default device in Windows playerback devices, this way I can add effects such as CMSS3D EQ etc, but leaving EVERYTHING off the SQ is not as good as selecting SPDIF in Playback devices, the major downside though is having SPDIF in windows audio panel bypasses any settings in the creative console.
I realise this may be an issue with Windows rather than Creative.
2. Dolby Digital remains enabled when Headphones is automatically Activated / When Dolby Digital is activated with headphones 5. sound is used but the center, sub and 2 rear channels dont get passed.
I have my entertainment mode set to 5. wich automatically switches to Headphones when I plug them in.
I used Windows playback devices to do a speaker check, this is always set to 5. and the creative console never overrides this.
When I test my headphones with DD off I hear all 6 channels in my headphones, when I enable Dolby Digital I only hear the front left and front right channel, if headphones mode is suppose to be automated it should automatically adjust for Dolby Digital either by disabling it until the headphones are unplugged or to pass all 6 channels to the headphones like it otherwise normally would.

Edit: I now installed the Dolby Digital Live drivers, that were hidden on the download page until I pressed "All".
The DDL option now appears under "Encoder", but still there's not sound coming through.

HI,
If your old version of iTunes is still working - then I sugest you stick with that.
iTunes 11 is a lousy update - It will not retain your playlists, you can't find and delete duplicates... and a whole arry of oyher issues. (have a look around this forum to see how many issues IT11 gives people)
Just a friendly advise and warning :-)

5.1 issues with X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty

Hi folks, how's it going?
I'm having several problems setting up 5. surround sound with my Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatalty Pro. I'm connecting to my DDTS-00 reciever via an optical cable, and using Dolby Digital Li've or DTS Connect (I get the same results with both technologies).
I can get surround sound working in Halo and Halo 2. However, I have to check the "allow applications to take exclusi've control of this device" box in Control Panel > Sound > SPDIF Out > Advanced tab to get them to work. This causes Windows Media Player to throw up the error "Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file" whenever I try to play an mp3. Yet if I uncheck the "exclusi've control" box, I just get stereo sound from my games but WMP works fine.
As an exception, with Gears of War, Trillian, and Windows Vista itself I only get stereo when the box is unchecked, and NO sound when I have the box checked.
So, any ideas what I can possibly do? I'm using all the latest drivers and software versions.

If I were you, I'd run the 5. analog outputs from the soundcard into the DDTS-00. The DDTS-00 has the 6 rca inputs for analog input. That should give you less grief when gaming and listening to music at the same time. That's what I do on mine, everything works good that way and there's no fighting over the SPDIF output. And with analog,?you also have more control over all the application volumes, with SPDIF out, you do not.
Using the SPDIF out?will never provide a perfect medium for concurrent gaming and movie/music listening, at least with Creative's (and others) current implementation.
Use EAX when available for games, and if required use Alchemy?if the game needs it.

Please verify the following and try again: 1. Ensure the handset is connected to the computer. 2. Ensure the BlackBerry software is running on the handset."

Captivate 8 - Issues with correct recording of Software Simulations in monitor 2 (of 2)?

I've been recording Software Simulations in monitor 2 (screen 2 of 2) and an application in monitor 2 to produce automatic demo, assessment and training output. It should be possible but the system doesn't capture all recordable actions (the result is 1 slide for each of demo, assessment and training versions with the ‘final’ screen view and one mouse movement). However if I shift my recording area to screen 1 (i.e. monitor 1) there are no issues. It can be worked around, however is there some other set-up option I'm overlooking?
Thanks in advance for any input.
Jenny

Thank you so much for posting your question. I would have never stopped to think that which screen I was trying to record might make a difference. I was having huge issues with a software simulation not capturing all the necessary screen changes (on Monitor 2), but after reading your post, I moved it to Monitor 1, and it's working as it should again.
You just saved me lots of frustration.

Issues with the latest N86 software update

As the title says, i updated my n86 software to the latest version with the pre-instaled application in my phone..And then the troubles started...The themes effects such as fading when rotating the screen takes like 10 and i repeat 10 second to finish, the camera starts after too much time and i'm always asked to connect to the internet..what happened?
With the 11.43 software i did not found any problem..suggestions?

The light sometimes remains on, even if i lock the keypad. Beside this, i noticed take my battery lasts like 1 hour while the light is on. This happens few times, but is really annoying.. Also, i now that the theme effects are not essential, but i want to keep my phone fully functional, so i'd like to know what's this issue about..
@metalfan I didn't expected a quick answer, i was only preoccupied for these problems
How can i to restore the original firmware?
I tried to remove my sim(also i don't use a memory card), but nothing changes...

Poll: Who is having no sound issues with X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Pro?

Several weeks ago I purchased an? X-Fi Titanium Fatalty Pro. I have the latest drivers/software installed for all of my hardware and am using Windows 7 64-bit ultimate. There is no sound when the computer resumes from Standby or hibernate. I have to disable the driver in the device manager and then re-enable to restore sound. It seems the X-fi driver is not initializing when the computer resumes from these states. Problem does not occur during a normal cold start or restart.
i have an open ticket with creative support and need to find out if others are having the same issue on windows 7. Several folks having the same issue at this link with little to no success at fixing. I don't know if this is a driver thing, an IRC conflict or what. I have no had this issue on the same hardware with any other sound cards I've I had, to include an HT Omega card and the onboard sound; which leaves me convinced it is something with the X-fi card.
Please respond to this posting if you are having the same issue. If you have found a way to fix it, please say so as the creative support folks are still investigating and have asked me to give them more examples.

Just to confirm that deselecting entries in the "headphone detection" tab the creative audio panel seems to provide a temporary (but not an acceptable permanent) solution.
"Automatically mute speakers" provides the workaround but "automatically enable headphone settings" also needs to be deselected otherwise the PC will set to "headphone" on resume (rather than "5:" for example).
So it could be that on resuming from standby it is setting some internal headphone settings to mute the speakers.
I have created a support ticket hoping that this and the other post above might bring about a driver update.
Will keep testing and post any updates.

Issues with 2007-004 AirPort Software Update

Hello - I saw some threads around this re: other updates.. however, I have a MacBook Pro 15.4" with version 10.4.10. This weekend, Auto Software Updates updated the Mac OS with the 2007-004 AirPort patch. Prior to this, I had perfect 801.11NG connectivity with my router (D-Link DIR-655 N-Extreme) - all 4 bars lit up no matter where I was in the house. However, since this patch, my connectivity has become very flaky. Sometimes I'll have strong connectivity for a few hours, then it will suddenly drop (will go from 4 bars to 3 - then will have performance drag on my applications or drop completly).
I notice while watching my router statistics page that throughput drops from 50-60mb down to 11 when it drops.
We have an iMac in the house which is NOT experiencing this issue (it is on 2007-003). I also have 2 Apple-Tv's, neither of which are having this issue either.
This is extremely frusterating - as not having stable wireless on a laptop is very painful. I've noticed threads where this patch was suppose to fix this problem for people who had 2007-003 patch. For me, it has caused the reverse.
Any recommendations or thoughts? I'd like to roll-back to 2007-003, but it's not clear how to do this - but if I could, I could at least isolate it to the patch, and not some other coincidence.
Thanks, Ed

Mac Mini DVD issues with 3rd party player software

New to the forum. I have a Late 2012 Mac Mini with 16GB RAM and 256 SSD (Crucial) fitted and the latest version Yosemite OS. I get a slight jerkiness when playing DVDs from an external Panasonic UJ265 USB3 Blu-ray drive using either Aurora or Macgo software, however Blu-rays play fine and the jerkiness disappears with Apple's native DVD player. Any ideas what might be going on? Many thanks.

I'm having a similar issue as well with my Mac Mini (Macmini 4,1) connected to an HP LP3065 via the Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adaptor. I also have a Dell 2407WFP connected via the the HDMI->DVI connector:
Summary:
When the Mac Mini wakes from sleep, the display for the Dual-Link DVI connection is set to the wrong resolution and cannot be modified in System preferences.
Details:
In my case, this manifests as a blank screen and flashing green power led on the HP, which is how the it indicates the display resolution is set to something other than 2560x1600. The Dell still wakes up, but is now in Mirroring mode. At this point, Displays system preference shows a generic "Display" with a resolution of "640x480", plus the HP2407, with no option to change the resolution for the generic Display)
The only thing that seems to fix the problem is restarting the Mac Mini.
This seems to happen about 30% of the time the Mac Mini wakes from sleep. The rest of the time, everything works fine. It's extremely annoying.

My iPod won't sync because of issue with the back-up software

I have recently purchased an iPhone 4 and synced it with my itunes library on my PC and then updated the software to 5.0. I already had an iPod touch (4th generation) and now when i try and sync it with the library it says "back-up corrupt or incompatable with iPod, please delete back-up and try again"...i followed the instructions and now have no back-up and it restored the original factory settings to the iPod. I am now trying to re-sync it to get my songs back and the same message is appearing. How do i back-up my iPod ??

the version of your ipod shouldnt stop it from syncing

Syncing Issues with ICAL & Missing .Mac Icon... related?

We have been having problems with our ICal syncing for weeks, to the point where we have just stopped using our ICAL all together.
But now, my .mac icon, which I use to access my backup database is missing off my computer as well, and also missing off one of the other network computers.
Are these things related?
Any updates on when the syncing problems will be resolved?

As an IT consultant, i'm in agreement with Mr Utts.    The promise of "it just works" died with Steve Jobs.   Mac OS has been in freefall since 10.5 .    I need a fully functional OS, not an iPad on my desk. ( this means YOU Forstall !! )
Why break Samba ( a standard ), why break WebDAV ( a standard ), why break CalDAV ( a standard )??    Apple has done ALL of these things and they seem to be doing it on purpose.
The Apple "ecosystem" is just fine, but removing functionality as fast as you can, and removing interoperablity as fast as you can... if Apple products ONLY work within the ecosystem... people can and will leave Apple.    You've already run off the business users by refusing to make a real Server or real Server software.   You ran off the video user with Final Cut Pro X.   Dumbing down (and breaking) the OS is running off the IT User.
Mac OS used to easily walk the line of "hard core enough for a Unix Guru, easy enough for your Mom". Now they just want the Moms.
And i disagree, we are ALL "qualified to say what Apple might do about this...", they will do nothing.   They don't beleive they have made a mistake. They beleive WE are the problem by stubbornly insisting that things that used to work should continue to work.

Issue with multiple digital signatues in form

Hello all-
I'm having an issue with a form that has multiple digital signatures. The form additionally has a listbox in which the user can select recipients to email the form to. My objective is to be able to send a form to various users by email to sign digitally. After extending the features for Reader, I inserted a standard Livecycle digital signature by clicking on one of the digital signature fields. However, after inserting the digital signature, I can't perform any other actions (email the form by selecting recipients from the listbox, clicking a different digital signature field for signature insertion, etc.) It is as if the digital signature instertion made an uneditable snapshot of the form, which I do not want to do. What can I do to rectify this process?
Will upload the form if necessary.
Thank you and happy holidays.

Mr. Kumar,
The desired workflow is for
1)      Firefighter 1 to complete the top portion of the Agreement
section, sign in the Firefighter 1 signature field (which locks the top
portion of the Agreement Section), then select Firefighter 2 from the
e-mail drop down list and e-mail the PDF form to Firefighter 2;
2)      Firefighter 2 opens the e-mail and the PDF attachment,
completes the second portion of the Agreement Section, sign in the
Firefighter 2 signature field (which locks the bottom portion of the
Agreement Section), select Lieutenant 1 from the e-mail drop down list
and e-mail the PDF form to Lieutenant 1;
3)      Lieutenant 1 opens the e-mail and the PDF attachment, checks
the approved box, signs the Lieutenant 1 signature field, select
Lieutenant 2 from the e-mail drop down list and e-mail the PDF form to
Lieutenant 2;
4)      Step three continues through Lieutenant 2, Battalion Chief 1
and Battalion Chief 2
5)      Battalion Chief 2 sends the fully completed form back to
Firefighter 1 who copies the completed form to Firefighter 2
Note: if any of the officers disapprove the agreement the disapproved
form is immediately sent back to Firefighter 1
