Alchemy Killed sound in Vis

OK Part of this is my fault but not all... I was trying to get the EAX working and reading about Alchemy here..http://connect.creativelabs.com/alchemy/ Along the top of that page it shows "Beta Drivers - Windows" So I click on that and see a download for Sound Blaster X-Fi Audigy Beta Driver 200707No I have an older Audigy card but the link looks like its for both so I download and try to install.
Vista gave me a warning about not being signed but kept going... untill installed stopped...
Seemed to grind away forever and then rebooted...
Now No sound at all
Tried to uninstall Alchemy but it doens't exist (Probably due to the failed install)
I removed the card from devi've manager, deleted all drivers that I could find, and uninstalled anything sound or creative oriented.
Tried rolling back to restore point - nothing
Tried reinstalling just the audigy drivers about 6 times and nothing......
Started poking around and discovered that there is a sepereate di'ver for the Audigy series for $0 which I don't have a problem paying for but I don't want to waste the money if it doesn't work.
Any ideas on how to get basic sound back first
I have wasted the better part of /2 a day on this already and don't want to continue wasting time.
Would I be better off going back to onboard sound and removing the audigy card all together
Thanks
Todd

Windows sound is already cranked.... and I messed with the system setups over oand over.... Tried system restore - no go...Beta Alchemy - no go is for xfi onlyTried the other version of the Audigy Driver that the link was posted to above - no goCleanedTried the Official Creative Labs Driver again still no go It's really wierd because sound can be heard other places just fineParticularily No Sound for the menus and suchStrating Vista, Shutting Down, etc Thats all enabled in the sound settings as wellEven tried selecting no sounds, rebooting, went in and changed to default, rebooted and nothing. Then had a friend zip his windows/media/ folder (Where the system sounds are) and tried those - no change.... Is it possible that a diffenert codec overwrote a deafult setting for .wav files or something What should the default association be for those any idea

Missing Sound Output VIs

Hello all,
I'm trying to create a DLL that reads incoming sound data through my DAQ board and translates it for my sound card. Unfortunately, when I run the control program (LabWindows), I get error messages saying that the LabVIEW Sound Output VIs are missing. Do I need to add another library to my LabWindows project, and if so, which one? If not, why isn't LabWindows (or the LabVIEW runtime engine, if applicable) finding the VIs in my DLL project library?
Thanks!

Hi Michael,
Sorry for the confusion! Guess they don't call me Slowpoke for nothing...anyway, let me see if I can clarify matters.
The problem is not with the control program, per se. The problem only manifests itself when I call my DLL (created in LabVIEW) from the LabWindows control program. When I call the DLL from a LabVIEW control program, the DLL works perfectly. When I call the DLL from the LabWindows control program, the front panel of the called VI has a broken "run" arrow. When I click on the broken arrow, I get the LabVIEW error message popup. The LabWindows control program itself flags no errors.
I mentioned those VIs only to offer some context for the problem, i.e., in case you were wondering what their functions and purpose were, since they appeared in the error popup; if I muddled things up for you instead, again I apologize. Hope this is clearer!
Thanks,

Flash updates kills sound

I have a Mac 10.6.8 which on the last Adobe Flash update killed my sound.
I know nothing of computers - it is a glorified typewriter to me, so please advise how to remedy this in simple terms.
Technical terms are the death for me!

Hi,
Could you please let us know some more details?
Please go to the following page and let us know the Flash Player version and browser you use: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html#main_Find_the_Flash_ Player_version_installed_on_your_machine
Do you mean to say you don't hear any sound at all?

Killing sound on page exit

I have a .swf that plays audio clips on top of the animation
in a web page and everything works fine as far as the swf is
concerned. However, if the user clicks the navigation buttons ON
THE WEB BROWSER the sound continues to play to completion.
How do I stop sounds when the user leaves the page?
Thanks!

look at the Sound classes events.
Better yet, look at the events for MovieClip.
I'm thinking you can define an onUnload event for _root.
In that method you could manually stop your SOund class.
Basically you need a way to know when the SWF is being
"unloaded," or left by the user.

Upgrade kills sound

I upgraded to Leopard 10.5.7. Now I have no sound except the usual startup hum sound. My sound indicator shows that everything is muted, but the mute check box is greyed out and not uncheckable. I have tried system sounds and YouTube videos to see if anything makes noise; no joy.
The time coincidence makes me almost certain that this sudden sound disappearance is related to the upgrade, but that's about where my savvy ends. Any ideas? thanks very much.

This is a very common update issue with G5s and Intel Macs:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300832
Sometimes zapping the PRAM can also help:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
If neither helps, you create another user in Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Accounts and login to that user and see if the issue persists there. That would tell you at least if it is a system wide issue, or a user specific issue. Let us know your findings please?

Ios7 update killed sound

Connexant drivers killed sound, downloaded patch, now what?[SOLVED]

I installed the conexant drivers for my modem and my sound stopped working. I knew this might happen. I went to www.linuxant.com/alsa-driver and downloaded a patch, and I don't know how to apply it.
Any help. This is probably simple.

[SOLVED] gnome update killed sound on kde 4.9.2 system

the recent gnome-updates in testing seem to have broken my sound on kde 4.9.2. My sound system relied on pulseaudio, phonon-gstreeamer and gstreamer0.10. Since the update there ist only a 'dummy' entry in my soundmixer and no sound anymore. Did anybody experience the same?
Edit: Just downgraded with pacman -Syuu with all testing repos disabled. Sound is there again. This IS an update problem.

Neo4 Platinum BIOS 1.8 killed sound in WinXP

I have a Neo4 Platinum where the sound worked perfectly fine, both output and microphone. We use Antec Sonata ATX cases, they have a 380W PSU, I think only 20 pins.
We flashed the latest BIOS 1.8 and upgraded the CPU to an A64 X2. Now, without changing anything in Windows, the sound is gone. There are no unknown devices, nothing. We've tried to upgrade the driver, both using RealTek and nVidia, but it doesn't help. Still no sound devices.
This has happened on two identical machines that we both upgraded BISO to 1.8 and CPUs to X2s.

Quote from: Danny on 08-September-05, 09:23:26
I was referring to the onboard sound. With my hearing there is no point in buying anything better.
I have the same problem and I am neither able nor willing buying anything else.
On one hand I want to use all functions the boards offers
one the other hand I have no slots left.
I am using this board as a developing machine so the only use for the sound is playing CDs.
Therefor I hope and demand that MSI fixes this problem.

Sound IO run time

Hi,
I have a program which utilises the Sound I/O and Sound File functions from under the graphics and sound pallette.
I intend to build this into a distribution / installer.
When building it seems like I require the Sound and Vibration run-time engine. I believe i am not using any components of the sound and vibration toolkit as the Sound vi's are available with the standard LabVIEW platform. Also if this does need the sound and vibration run-time engine then it appears that there is a charge for S and V run time for each target machine. If this is the case then this is completely unfeasable for my intentions.
Why do i need the sound and vibration run-time engine if I am not using the sound and vibration toolkit?
Do I need the run-time engine at all? (It appears that i do)
Will i have to purchase multiple run time engines if i Intend to distribute an application which uses these vi's ?
If i do have to purchase then i suppose all sound operations will have to be done third party

LabVIEW 2012

The sound card VIs are installed with Labview base. So they are not part of sound and vibration toolkit. Try to build an exe from one the sound IO examples. If this goes OK then you have a sound and vibration VI(s) some place else in the system. If you find such a VI. You may get around this by using copy the block diagram and paste into a new VI, and rebuild the connector pane. Do this also for the sub VIs.
Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted
(Sorry no Labview "brag list" so far)

Need to play and stop sound file with 1 ms resolution

Hi,
I'm trying to open a .wav file then later play it at a time when another parallel loop activates a boolean local variable which controls playback in my "sound" loop. I need high time resolution in stopping the playing of the .wav file, ~1ms. From what I've gathered, I can't use the "sound output write.vi" because it locks the loop until it finishes outputting a set number of samples. Because of this, "sound output stop.vi" has to wait until the next iteration, which is more than ~1 ms.
In the help menu of the Sound Ouput VIs it says you can set the task ID for the "sound output start.vi" using the "sound output configure.vi." Unfortunately I've only been able to use the "sound output start.vi" following "play sound file.vi", and I don't really know why this is the case.
I can't start my sound with the "play sound file.vi" because it locks the loop its in until it finishes playing the sound. Oddly this only happens when there is a parallel loop running, if I run it by itself, with no other loops, it doesn't lock the loop. I thought it might have something to do with the local variable, but the loop doesn't lock when the loop restarts the sound using the "sound output start.vi."
After opening a .wav file, can i use the "sound output configure.vi" to create a task ID for the "sound output start.vi" to work? Or do I have to use the "sound output write.vi" after calling the "sound output configure.vi." The help menu makes it seem like the prior suggestion is possible.
Thanks a lot!

Since it sounds like the problem you're running into is getting the data loaded from the file before you're ready to play it, look at the Files sub-palette, specifically the Sound File Read Simple VI. You can use this VI to load the data into a waveform and have it ready for use later in the program.
So in your overall program, read the file with Sound File Read Simple and configure the output with Sound Output Configure and call Sound Output Write when you're ready to play the waveform.

10.4.10 - no sound in browser

Hi guys,
Since updating to 10.4.10 (Power PC) I can no longer get any sound through my web browser (neither Firefox nor Safari - both latest versions).
I've heard of people having sound 'popping' problems but not a complete lack of sound. For instance, Youtube videos etc have no sound, nor do websites that are supposed to have sound.
Apart from that, software such as iTunes works fine.
Is anyone else experiencing this or can offer any advice?
Many thanks,
Rick

Sound Level Pressure with several channel

Hello,
I met a problem with the VI "SVL Exp Avg Sound Level.vi". It works perfectly if I make a measurement with a single microphone, but with more microphones I have some computation error with discontinuity depending on the buffer size.
The following message is given in Labview Help :
"The SVL Exp Avg Sound Level VI requires a continuous input data stream. An
internal mechanism automatically detects any sampling discontinuity and resets
the filters. "
I suppose that there is a link with my problem, but I have no idea to correct it.
Here is my VI which is composed of a producer/consumer pattern. The consumer loop computes the sound level pressure during the measurement and stores the measured data in a TDMS file.
I am not expert with enqueue and dequeue function, so maybe it is bad programmed and I have some discontinuity in my data stream coming from the dequeue function.
Thanks for your help,
Mathieu

Based on your screenshot, it looks as though your code may be computing the weighted sound level for each channel in a single For Loop. The Weighting VIs and the Sound Level VIs maintain state, so it is not correct to use it in a For Loop to process multiple channels. Instead, wire the entire array of sound pressure channels to the input of the weighting and sound level VIs. The polymorphic VIs will adapt to the input type, and if the input data is continuous, the warning will not be returned.
Interestingly, you may be able to simplify your code if you specify the read order to group measurement types. Here is some code that I was looking at when evaluating performance for some different approaches to grouping waveforms. The Group by measurement type case was the fastest.

Massive sound problems in Yosemite

Hi,
I have been experiencing massive sound problems with Yosemite. It basically effects everything except the sound control in the control centre.
What happens:
I can't control the sound volume anymore. Key board sound control does not respond (sound symbol is struck out), sound bar in menu bar in greyed out.
If sound symbols are not greyed out, the sound will stay on the level it currently is. Neither key board nor menu bar icon can change the volume.
When it happens:
When I plug/un-plug headphones.
When I use iTunes. iTunes will even stop playback... the only chance to get iTunes back to normal is restarting the app.
When I use Skype.
Occasionally on any incident... there is no app in particular linked to this.
What I do to get around it:
Restarting the mac... this will help until I sent my Mac to sleep or do any of the things above.
Accessing sound control via the control centre (which is work around, yet very annoying).
Killing sound via terminal does not do anything.
Btw. there is only one thing listed in the sound input/output menu.
This problem is very annoying and occurs several times daily, especially since I work a lot with sound and music. I know this an weary argument, but considering what I paid for this machine ... bla bla bla... I need a fix.
Thanks for any advice.
Andy

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
Yes, I have. It works pretty much like any re-start does. As soon I use headphones or send my Mac to sleep, it goes back to unresponsive sound control.
Edit: Just tried it again and it didn't do anything. Key board sound control is still greyed out...
Any other suggestions?
