A retarded ape could make a better driver

I paid $80 for my x-fi titanium and getting this piece of crap to work has been a nightmare. I'm not a retarded user, have been working intimately with computers most of life. I know my crap. The hardware is fine, but the drivers for this card are frankly the work of a drugged up monkey.
Here's what I want to do: Get stereo s/pdif output working at 44.Khz and have my microphone not play through my speakers leading to ear-splitting feedback. A simple task, one would think. Not so with these drivers.
Issue the first: getting s/pdif output working at 44.Khz. Audio control panel in windows set to only use 44.Khz and 48.0Khz. For some reason, Creative does not obey this. No problem, you might say. Just change the setting in the creative audio control console. Oh wait, there's an option to force digital output rate, but it is not available. One question: WHY? Why can't I force this god forsaken piece of crap to output at the rate that I choose? Maybe my receiver doesn't support 96.0Khz output rate? Jesus, please help me change this.
On my mic: there's no option in the volume control for mic playback volume. there is no option anywhere except creative's piece of crap audio console. Except that every time I make a change, this gets reset.
I'll seriously eat my hat if anybody can tell me how to make this work. Honest to god, Creative should be embarassed at the driver support for Windows 7. This is a load of crap.

I'm suffering just as much as you and everyone else. I tried older drivers and they don't work on Windows 7 anyway. I am currently using this weird beta driver that everyone swears by. It actually gets rid of the distortion, but now two of my speakers don't make a sound (I have 5. speakers). So this beta driver obviously doesnt work well. Plus on Battlefield 242, the X-FI option can't detect my card!? What a joke!? I just emailed Creative and I'm sure tomorrow they'll give me some bogus response that they are "currently working on the issue."? I cannot believe that the biggest sound card company in the world doesn't have drivers that work properly on windows 7. It appears that everyone I know who is using an Intel chipset?board does not have this issue. It's pretty much all of us who are using boards that have the Nforce chipset. Here's some food for thought... my best friend is using an Nforce chipset board and he recently bought an X-FI Xtreme Audio card. It works beautifully in Windows 7.
Well, it turns out that the X-FI Xtreme Audio card usese a totally different Windows 7 driver than the Titanium, Platnium, Xtreme Music, and Xtreme Gamer editions. So if Creative can make a very good driver for the Xtreme Audio edition, why can't they do the same for the other ones?
!!! I was almost ready to can my Xtreme Gamer card and get an Xtreme Audio card. But I don't wanna give another dime to creative anyway.

[X-Fi Xtreme Gamer] Makes strange noises - then nothing. Beta Driver won't go away... *he

Hi Folks
I got some Problems with my xtreme Gamer:
When I started my PC yesterday everything was fine, but after a while the sound produced some strange failures? ending in just making a horrible high noise.
I tried kinda everything I could think of (Restart, install new Beta Driver (October 7th) but nothing helped either the sound constantly was this Noise or nothing. I couldn't even see that something is playing in the Vista Sound menu. After installing the beta driver I could at least SEE that something should be playing (but only in general, not app-related) but nothing comes out my speakers.
So I tried to went back to try the latest official release (2.8) I had 2.6 before. But the Setup always tell me that I have a never Driver installed and just let me confirm some EULAs and want me to restart without installing anything. After the restart the same...
I tried to remove any Creti've Data from my system: uninstall the device in the Hardware-manager, uninstall the driver software, delete all files that could be related ti creative on any HDD and the registry, used CClenaer and Driver Cleaner Pro...
but it still tells me that i have a newer driver in stalled... (in the Hardware-Manager I got the yellow sign)
So my questions are:
st. How do i swap this Driver off my system?
2nd. How do I get my sound working again?

How could I make Siri better?

On the Siri official page, Apple states that Siri gets better by learning owners' accent.
Here comes the question: how does Siri get better?
I mean, once you used Siri and found the words are slighty off from what you actually said.
Most people might just launch Siri again and re-spoke the sentence again until Siri finally got what they wanted.
Is Siri able to learn the accent from this action?
Siri sometimes got wrong on certain names especially they're ones Nickname and probably not even a complete word.
Then Siri tried to make the whole senetence logical by changing the entire sentence which will result something completely off the original given command.
Anyone knows how to make Siri better and more personalized?

I'd suggest:
1) don't have setNumeratorr and setDenominator methods. Make the numerator and denominator final fields in Rational. That is, make each Rational instance immutable.
2) Give Rational a constructor that takes two longs. One is the numerator and the other is the denominator. The constructor removes common factors between the two and stores the values in their most reduced form.
3) The add method can probably be cleaned up give (2).
4) Don't name the argument to add "object". Of course it's an object. Call it "operand" or even just "other".

SB Live 24bit external problems with windows 7 beta driver

Hi, I have a problem with my soundcard with the windows 7 beta driver. An unwanted sound come out when I'm doing something like chatting with Yahoo Messenger or buffering Youtube. I don't know what makes it like that, can you guys help me out, please
Thank you

Maybe you could start by donating something
I'm giving you something Creative would never do, so I think I deserve it, don't you think
Doesn't matter if it is $2 or $5.
All these Vista Support Packs prove my knowledge and are true modifications, not like the current Youp Pax crappy releases from a dumb person who doesn't even know how a INF file works.

How do I install the new "unified series Beta driver with OpenAL support" driver?

Hey guys, I'm going to reformat later today and I need instructions on how to install these latest drivers.
Once I reformat, I will install Windows 2000 SP4.
When I reboot, I will insert the CD that came with my Audigy 2 and I will select "Custom Install" and I will select to install everything EXCEPT the driver.
Then when I have installed all the Creative software from the CD that came with my Audigy 2, I will reboot.
Now I will install the "unified series Beta driver with OpenAL support" driver and then reboot.
Is that the correct procedure? If not PLEASE tell me!

My game music always (now I've asked for it!!!) seems to work; have you tried disabling cthelper in your config as that seems to ?$!&^ everything up; on my system it was causing crashes and also meant my system was taking 0 minutes to shut down!
And while we're at it, maybe someone from Creative could expand on the really useful info the guys above have given (thanks guys!).
Oh yeah, one last suggestion for Creative; maybe make the installation of "cthelper" optional in the installation program and/or have a check box in the Creative config software to turn it on off with an explanation as to why people may want to do this (ie may cause problems on some systems)...

Can you provide step by step instructions as to where to find and install a driver, and what if anything needs to be done to make the system find the MC8775. Many thanks.
Did you download and install this driver:

Download and run this file which will uncompress the installation package, but it will not install the driver. Then go to the folder "C:\DRIVERS\WIN\WWANUMTS\Driver" and start "MC87xx.msi".

Can I purchase Mountain Lion and make a flash drive bootable? I do not want to install it on my Macbook Pro. I have Snow Leopard on my Macbook Pro now, and due to my hard drive needing repair I need to boot off of another source, like my flash drive.

Can I purchase Mountain Lion and make a flash drive bootable? I do not want to install it on my Macbook Pro. I have Snow Leopard on my Macbook Pro now, and due to my hard drive needing repair, I need to boot off of another source, like my flash drive. I am in Paris and my Snow Leopard DVD is in Texas.

Mac OS X has a built-in disk diagnostic and repair program called fsck or file system consistency check. Here’s how to verify and repair your startup disk with fsck. As soon as you hear the startup tone, press and hold Command-S on the keyboard. Keep holding down those keys until you see a black screen with white lettering. This is called “booting into Single User Mode.” As the Mac boots in this mode, the screen reports each step of the process. The line should end in root#. Right after the root# prompt, enter the following: /sbin/fsck -fy
If repairing the disk in single user mode fails, it means one of two things. Either your hard drive itself is failing (a hardware failure), or the directory damage on your hard drive is beyond the capability of the built-in repair procedures in OS X.

HT201304 It would be tremendously helpful to be able to access, set restrictions, and make changes from the parents device to all devices under the same iTunes account, so that I could make changes to my kids devices without physical access.

Please help!
It would be tremendously helpful to be able to access, set restrictions, and make changes from the parents device, to all devices under the same iTunes account, so that I could make changes to my kids devices without physical access.
I understand that I can set up a different Apple ID for the kids devices, or take physical control of the device and make the changes myself. However, my teenage son is technically savvy enough to have a job in Silicon Valley, as are most young people these days. However, in order to access his devices the current way, I first have to bypass the four digit pass code. This starts a fight of why I need in the device and continues to escalate. The argument that I am the parent will gain access but the fight is simply exhausting, and quite frankly shouldn't have to happen at all. He is not yet an adult, he did not pay for his iPad or iPhone and I, as a parent, should have not only have the right to change options at will, and from anywhere, but look at history or current activity when I feel like it.
I currently have the settings where app and in-app purchases require my password to be put in, and he must come to me to type it in, but I need more control and would like, and should be able to access any of our six devices and make individual changes simply by logging in to my account, with my password.
If I can see all my devices on the "Lost My iPhone" app, this technology should be easy to make happen.
C'mon parents! I have a pretty good kid, given all things that they can get into, but I am not stupid. For everything I see has been done, there is much more I haven't seen. I want my children to be kept safe and be able to know what they are looking at or listening to. We parents are the only ones who know our beliefs and what our kids can handle and when.
Thanks for any support or information that I may be missing in order to fulfill my request.

There are mobile device management solutions that can do this, including in Apple's OS X Server system, but most parents generally find that setting this up is more work than it's worth. If you're interested, though, there are a couple that at least purport to be free (I don't know if there are any hidden "gotchas"):
http://www.unwireddevicelink.com/features/
https://meraki.cisco.com/products/systems-manager
and Apple's system:
http://www.apple.com/osx/server/features/#profile-manager
I don't think any, however, allow you to see current activity or browser history. iOS doesn't expose those to access from MDM solutions, to the best of my knowledge.

Windows Could not find the Driver for your Apple iPod USB Device (5G 30GB)

I have a 8GB iPod Nano. My roommate has a 30GB 5G Video. Black.
My iPod syncs flawlessly. His is not recognized by Windows or iTunes. Every time we plug in the iPod, it prompts us for the driver. I tried to install the update apple mentions through the windows process, but after going through the tedious Windows Genuine Verification process, I was told that the update didn't apply to my computer.
We use a Lenovo Thinkpad T60p, which shipped with Windows Vista Business.
We are running iTunes 7.3.1.3, and there are no windows updates available for the computer.
I have...
...reset
...reinstalled 7.3.1.3 (over and over and over)
...tried different USB ports. (Early on, we saw it once after swapping ports).
...tried turning off the ability of the computer to 'Turn this device off to save power."
I have also verified that the iPod works on my work Dell Lattitude D620 running XP, and that it's not the cord, as we've used the cord that came with my Nano as well.
So, the problem seems to be with vista, as many people seem to have had. The best thread I found that deals with this was http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=995793.
But even after having tried everything, I still have an unrecognizable iPod.
When I run iPod diagonostics, everything seems okay, except for the iPod connection, which says failed. I've had difficulty working with the iPod service under Computer/Device Manager - it doesn't ever seem to stop or start, with the iPod plugged in or not.
And interestingly enough, the FAT32 external harddrive that I use to back up my data exhibits exactly the same problem ("Windows could not find the driver for your USB Mass Storage Device). This device worked great in XP, and even odder, I have a FAT32 partition of the main HD as a swap space between my VistaOS and my Ubuntu installation.
Do I have to chalk this up to another issue with Windows Vista? What bothers me there is that you're a ping-pong between windows support and apple support - no one really owns up the problem.

Bill, I've been stuck in this loop for 3 months since buying a new laptop with Vista Basic. I've tried everything to no avail. I don't know what else to do apart from buying a cheap PC running XP. Let me know if you manage to find a solution and I'll do the same.
Regards. Adam

My Photos app works the same on iOS 5 as it did on iOS 4 i.e. I can have a different track for each album. When I select a track for a photo album I then start the slideshow so that it shows the first couple of photos with the track playing - I'm not sure it's necessary to start the slideshow but I always do and it remembers that track for that album.

How can I change the insert SWF File, I need to add a few things and make it better? Is there an option inside of the dreamweaver menu that I am not looking at. It would make it easier on me if I changed some things around and didn't have to do it all myself each time I used it.

If I understand correctly, Sonic Kaboom.swf needs to be edited in a separate Flash authoring program and then reinserted into your HTML document.
As Murray said, Flash is dead. Nobody uses it anymore.   We use HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript animations which have universal support from Smartphones, Tablets and other web devices that can't support Flash.   Look at Edge Animate.

Read and follow the Bootcamp Installation instructions that you were offered to view when you ran Bootcamp Assistant.
Run Bootcamp Assistant again and select the option to download the Bootcamp Support software. Follow the instructions. Then boot into Windows and install the Windows Support software you downloaded and saved.
