2 X-Fi Surround 5.1 connected to one laptop, audio console only supports one?

M2 X-Fi Surround 5. connected to one laptop, audio console only supports one? Hi,
for multi room audio purposes I connected two USB X-Fi Surround 5. to a laptop. Windows detects the two sound cards correctly and via Winamp I can have both of them play simultaniously different music, which is great.
However, I can't seem to be able to make a selection between the two sound cards in Creative's audio console. I can only select one card, and of course, the sound settings only apply to that one card. How can I access the other card for sound settings such as 3D and crystalizer ?
The sound card selection menu allows me to choose between :
- Windows Standard audio
- SB X-Fi surround 5.
- X-Fi surround 5. Line / Mic in
- X-Fi surround 5. What U hear
I tried reinstalling the sound drivers as suggested elsewhere, but that doesn't seem to help.
Many thanks in advance !
Kind regards,
Cooled Spirit.

QRe: 2 X-Fi Surround 5. connected to one laptop, audio console only supports one?B Thanks, but that doesn't help, as soon as I unplug, the settings are "lost". It's the software that stores the settings, not the hardware.
My theory so far is, that this caused by?two identical?products : both have exactly the same?device name in Windows. I can imagine that when certain software tries to retrieve a list of available Creative?hardware, it might get confused when two identical names occur in the list, perhaps skipping one of the "duplicates". Windows device name is?provided either by the drivers or the hardware itself.
Of course, this is just a theory. Windows itself and software like Winamp seem to be able to handle this perfectly.
If I would have the technical know-how, I would try to rename the device name in Windows registry. Alas, the name appears at many places, I don't know which exact place to change the name, in order to obtain different device names. And that's assuming Creative software uses this...
Kind regards,
Cooled.

  • One work process can only process one user request at a time?

    Hi,
       How to configure the how many work processes for 80 concurrent users login daily.One work process can only process one user request at a time? Does this mean a login user has a dedicated work process servicing him. Or many login users interleave a work process's service? ,clarify the same.
    Thanku

    There are different types of work processes and the number needed depends on the number of transactions that will take place in the system. We are running 80 concurrent users with 15 dialog work processes. Please see the link below for an explanation:

  • Will only support one USB drive at a time

    Background
    This is happening with a Mid 2007 Mini, OS X 10.7.4.
    I use this Mini soley as an iTunes music server. The OS is on the internal drive. Music is on a separate drive, as is Time Machine. No keyboard is connected. I do all maintence wirelessly via screen sharing from another Mac.
    Recently I changed the drives from conventional ext. FW hard drives to ext USB SSD. The USB enclosures are USB2/3 "Hornet" brand. The SSDs are Samsung 256GB 830s.
    The Problem
    Only one USB drive will stay mounted at a time. Both drives will initially mount but once one is put into use, i.e., play a song or start a Time Machine update, the other drive will unmount and I get the nasty "You disconnected your USB drive improperly...." I've seen the threads on USB drives randomly unmounting. This is not that issue. My drives do not randomly unmount; one will unmount as soon as the other is in use. (The unmounted drive stays unmounted. It does not remount when the other drive is no longer in use).
    The drives came with USB cables that had dual ends, one for data/power the other power only. The problem occurs regardless of whether I use just the data/power or both.
    My initial thoughts are:
    1) It's a power issue and the Mini can't support the power requirements of both drives simulateously. I need an A/C adapter.
    2) It's an incompatible enclosure (even though it said Mac compatible, who knows if it was actually tested and not just presumed).
    3) Crappy cables.
    The Question
    Since testing any of these hypothesis will cost me $ (and time to buy -- and return if unsuccesful) I'm hoping someone here has experienced something similar to guide me to the fix a bit quicker. Am I close here, or could it be something else?

    I believe Bus powered drives are for the birds, & more often a problem on Macs than PCs, get a good AC powered USB hub... or two.

  • Audio drops only on one of my two airport express

    I recently added another airport express to my network and the audio drops randomly while the first airport express never does that...
    The one that works well is next to my cpu and the one that does not work well is about 30 feet away. Moved the cpu closer but no luck.
    What to do ???

    If your Airport Express devices are configured to "join" an existing wireless network, what is important is the distance (and type of obstacles) between your Mac and the main base station, as well as the distance (and type of obstacles) between the Airport Express and the main base station - not the distance between the Mac and the Airport Express.
    Another factor influencing the quality of the connection is radiofrequency inteference - yes, even if one Airport Express works just fine.

  • How do I delete multiple copies of songs on my iPhone when my laptop's iTunes only has one copy of each?

    Hi, everyone.
    I've seen many versions of this question, but mine has some key differences.
    The problem is that my iPhone 4S has multiple copies of almost every song that I've selected to copy from iTunes. The easy answer is to delete all the music from the phone and then re-sync from the iTunes library, except that I don't sync, I manually manage, because I have a 9000 song iTunes library. According to iTunes on my laptop, I have 835 songs on my phone, but there are actually over 2000 on the phone due to the duplicates. The fact that the duplicates do not show up in the iTunes library means I also cannot use the "Show Duplicate Items" tool.
    I'm thinking that the only two solutions are:
    1. Manually slide and delete all 1200+ dupes on the phone
    2. Delete all music from the phone and then go back through the library and cherry pick what I want on the phone. This seems okay, but I don't know why this happened, so I'm afraid it will happen again.
    I'd be thankful for any advice!

    The cause was probably a USB glitch during a sync or when copying. The music resides on the phone in separate files. A master file contains a database with an index to the music, an entry for each track and a "pointer" to the file containing the track. Somehow the index got corrupted with duplicate entries. It's likely that the music itself wasn't duplicated, but some tracks had more than one entry in the database. I've seen this happen when syncing (rather than manually managing) also. In my case deleting the track from the Music tab in iTunes, syncing, then adding it back fixed it.
    A related problem I've seen is an album may be split, with some tracks in each of 2 or more album entries in the listing. Fixed the same way.

  • How do I fix syncing issues between my iTouch and iTunes? My iTouch shows I have two copies of one song but on iTunes it shows I have one copy. I only purchased one copy too so where did the second copy come from?

    Yesterday I purchased a few albums and CDs from iTunes to my iTouch. After charging my iTouch, I noticed some of the songs weren't there. So I checked my iTunes and they were still downloading so I synced them up to each other. For the 1st hour, there was only one copy of the song. Later on, when I hooked up my iTouch to see if my info corresponded to iTunes, I saw that there was additional copies of the same song on a few albums and some copies of individual songs. I didn't purchase them twice either. Now I have two copies on my iTouch but not my iTunes so I can't delete the additional copy.

    Right now, I tried deleting all of the music and resyncing it from my iTunes directly to my iTouch. Hopefully this will solve the problem.

  • Two video and audio tracks, only need one audio

    Question- I recorded an event- about two hours long. I used two cameras from two different angles. The main camera has the worst audio whereas camera two is best. I want to use the audio from the camera 2. I know how to do this by syncing them up, "turning" down the video from cam 2 and turning down audio from cam 1, BUT here are my questions:
    1- I want to make sure the video fits on a 4GB DVD when project is finished. Will the size of the project double because I have two videos on the same timeline? If yes, is there a way to delete the video or portions of from one camera to save on the size of the overall project after converting to Quicktime?
    Thanks to anyone who responds!!

    Will the size of the project double because I have two videos on the same timeline?
    No. It all gets rendered to a single video track.
    Whether your finished product fits on a DVD has to do with the running time. Two hours will fit easily.
    Your Final Cut Pro master file could be 300 GB for example, it all gets transcoded to MPEG2 video and ac3 audio for the DVD.

  • USB audio problem only in one user account

    I have my Macbook Pro 2.2 set up as a media center for my stereo. It's been working great, connected via USB to a DAC. Yesterday it suddenly started to act up and their was a very loud white noise sound mixed in with the audio (in all audio playing apps - Player, iTunes). This ONLY happens in my primary user account on this Mac OS X (10.5.2). I have another user account on the machine that sounds fine, and it's fine on my bootcamp XP. It's fine on my SuperDuper backup also (but that's a few weeks old and don't want to revert to it if I can fix this). Any ideas? If I could just copy some files from my backup or the good user account that would be great. I don't know what I did that might have triggered it. I didn't install any new software since it was working. It basically sounds like an extremely high noise floor. It also goes in and out like a bad FM signal. Audio from the built-in speakers is fine.
    Thanks.

  • MFE Only supports one mailbox

    Nokia - I love your phones, you clearly go the extra mile when it comes to hardware and software integration.
    But this just stupid.
    Only a single mailbox is allowed for mail for exchange? Ugh! Useless!
    admin, support, [email protected] Makes sense? I guess not.
    Very very dissapointing only one mailbox can support true "push" email with MFE.
    To anyone considering getting a Nokia phone for Push email: Its just not there. You can only have a single mailbox with push email. Its very dissapointing. If you're thinking of buying specifically for push email: Don't! Consider a Blackberry instead.

  • Unlocked iPhone 5 only supports one Apple supported carrier

    I have purchased unlocked iPhone 5 in the UK(straight from Apple). I live in Lithuania, and was able to activate it only buy using a sim from an Apple supported carrier. If I insert other sims(from unsupported carriers) phone locks itself and shows "Activation required" or "SIM not valid". However all sim's work flawlessly in an unlocked iPhone 4S. Whats the catch?

    Perhaps the phone that you purchased from the Apple store was not actually unlocked, but sim free instead, which means that the phone will lock to the first sim card that you insert into the phone - ie Fido.
    To get the phone unlocked, you would need to contract Fido and see if they will unlock it for you.  Failing this, you would need to return to or contact the Apple store in Canada where you purchased the phone to see if the phone was truly unlocked or sim free and see what they will do about it.  If it was their mistake and the phone is still in warranty she should exchange it for you - if it was not an unlocked phone and you requested an unlocked phone, then they should still replace it for you.
    Do you still have your receipt for this phone?  If so, it should tell you on this whether the phone is unlocked or not. Check it and see.

  • Mt iPhoto library has disappeared from my laptop after syncing my new iPhone with the laptop. I now have a new iPhoto library with no photos. I have tried pressing option when opening iPhoto but I only get one library option and can't find my old one

    My iPhone4s was recently replaced by apple due to grey out on wifi. when I went to sync with my laptop my iPhoto library disapeared and I was left with an empty library. I cannot find my old library on my laptop. I only get one option for a library when i open iPhoto while holding down option key. I am worried I have lost all my photos. there seems ot be no iPhoto library on my iCloud either.
    Any suggestions?

    Syncing with an iPhone should not delete the iPhoto library on your mac. It only will upload photos to the phone (iTunes sync) or import (connecting by USB). How did you sync your phone?
    TD, do you know of any way, that a sync could delete an iPhoto Library on a Mac?
    You may have opened a wrong library or may be working from a different user account. Are you using the same user name and Apple ID as before?
    How have you searched for iPhoto libraries? Have you searched with Spotlight?
    Each iPhoto library contains a file called "Library6.iPhoto" - even if your iPhoto library should no longer be recognisable as photolibrary, this file should be found:
    Type "Library6" into the "Spotlight" search field in the upper right corner of your screen, like this:
    When you see a list of files, select one of them and hold down the key combination ⌥⌘ to reveal the path to the file.
    If Spotlight cannot find the file in the packages, use "FindAnyFile"  http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile

  • HT1351 Itunes says that 96 of my songs cannot be synced on my ipod since this computer is not authorized.  When I authorize it I am told that I have 5 computers.  I only have one.  please help

    When I sync my ipod with itunes i am told that 96 of my songs are not authorized on this computer.  I follow the directions to authorize and the message answers that I have 5 computers and this is the only one authorized.  I only have one computer.  How do I get itunes to sync those 96 songs???

    Hi eversonjm,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  If you are out of authorizations but only have 1 computer, deauthorizing all computers and reauthorizing your correct computer might be a good idea.  See this article for instructions:
    iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
    If after deauthorizing and reauthorizing your computer, you are still not authorized for the 96 songs, this article has some steps for seeing the account name that was used to purchase a song, in the event that a different account may have been used:

  • In my Thunderbird I have 2 inboxes and deleted folders, 1 set in local folders 1 set above. How do I get back to only having one inbox and one deleted folders.

    I have one account in my Thunderbird mail. Some days ago I discovered I had two inboxes and two deleted folders. One set appears in the list at the lefthandside above local folders and the other set is under local folders. My outbox also appears under local folders.
    I have deleted or moved all the mail entris in the inbox which appears under local folders.
    How do I delete the superfluous inbox and deleted folders? How do I move the outbox so it appears above the local folders in the list? Many thanks for your help.

    Surely as I only have one account, I should only have one inbox. How does my POP mail decide into which inbox to put my incoming mail? The two inbox icons have the downward pointing arrow. One inbox is the first entry in the list (below my email address) and the second is the first entry below local folders.
