XFI Xtreme Gamer New Old Prob

Hi guys first off an apology as this is going to be a long ass post
Right i have a problem with my XFI card which i know is not a new problem, but for me it is first off a bit of background..
My old machine which was as follows:
DFI Lanparty NF4 SLI-DR-Expert
AMD 64 3700+/4200+ X2
2 GIG OCZ Platinum EL DDR 3200
2 X 7600GT in SLI
XFI Xtreme Gamer (both old and new version)
with the old version (no heatsink) big card i couldnt get anything to work couldnt get drivers to install and sometimes couldnt even boot to windows. after plenty of arsing about with drivers bios update and bios settings i got fed up with it and like a muppet i bought another Xtreme gamer (new one with heatsink), and to be fair everything worked like a dream, i have read over these forums multiple times and basically read the main problem with these cards was when paired up with a NF4 motherboard so even tho i was annoyed at having a dud card which no body wanted to claim responcibility for, i was quietly content with the fact i had a working XFI card on a NF4 board. All was great the sound was excellent with my speakers and fatalty headset, games like bf242 FEAR etc sounded better than they ever had before.
Then i came into some money and decided for a big pc overhaul which was as follows
ASUS M3A32-MVP-Deluxe
AMD64 6400+
4 GIG Corsair XMS TwinX 6400
Nvidia 8800GT
I decided as it had worked so well up to now and the fact id had it less than a year, i kept the same XFI card
Got everything setup and installed latest drivers bios and everything, then i hit a problem. ANY GAME that claims to take advantage of the XFI etc has crackling problems. in bf242 when artillery goes off anywhere near me the crackling is INSANE. explosions in FEAR result in INSANE crackling. now this new board i use is a QUAD crossfire board socket AM2+ etc all the latest stuff and yet still this crackling problem persists 2 YEARS+ after the card came out.
now i have gone thru so many posts on so many forums and absolutly EVERYTHING i have tried has done NOTHING to resolve my problem.
CAN ANYONE HELP ME? CREATIVE IM LOOKING IN YOUR DIRECTION...
your company has had alot of money out of me in the last few years so some help would be appreciated.
so many of your customers have gone to other companies for soundcards since the XFI appeared and i will be one of them if i cannot get a result here. what annoys me is WE the CONSUMER pay YOUR wages, without us you will not exist so PLEASE HELP ME HERE. as i will no longer tollerate this. i think its pretty simple fix this long standing problem or A:give us our money back or B:replace this defunct piece of hardware with something that WORKS. ist not much to ask.
before anyone tries to blame my board as the problem i know people with just about every chipset going that has had problems with these cards its all over the forums. i have also tried a SB0220 5. li've and a audigy card in this exact machine with NO PROBLEMS at all. so clearly there is a problem with the XFI?
ANY IDEAS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED but i would like to hear from someone from creative here as user input is getting me (and probably alot of other people) NOWHERE
LEE ?

just wanted to let you know how to solve this or any other problem with this XFI or any other creative card?
do what i did?
TAKE IT OUT YOUR PC AND USE SOMETHING ELSE?
as soon as i did this and wnent to onboard sound maX HD audio all my problems went aways?
that was my last creative sound card thats for sure?
anyways Auzentec have got some nice cards?

Microphone Problem SB XFI Xtreme Gamer

& I have a headset that has a microphone. When I plug in the mic, I can't record any sound. I see a red light coming from the port, which leads me to believe that it is set to digital out. How do I change this so it recognizes the analog microphone [email protected]

*Re: Microphone Problem SB XFI Xtreme GamerK Hi necrochaos,
I think this is the same problem I had for a while, which had me pulling my hair out until I found the annoyingly simple solution. Hopefully it'll work for you too.
In the Creative Console Launcher (this is in Game mode, guess it's different for the other two.), open the Mixer tab and then under the slider bar that has "REC"in red, click the little drop down arrow and select microphone. This is all I needed to do I think. Test it with Windows Sound Recorder.
Also in Settings (very bottom-center of the Creative Console Launcher)I noticed that there's a category called "Digital I/O" and under that Flexijack Mode with the option to select between Digital I/O and Mic/Line-In. It's greyed-out on mine but maybe that'll work for you? Hope that hel
ps.

N800 os2008 combined: settings lost over reboot, U...

Loaded the combined os2008 onto my n800. Wifi worked (unlike the n800-specific version), lots of other things worked. But there are differences.
- word choice and word prediction during typing used to be defaulted on; now off. Turn them on, they work fine and still use my saved information from before. Turn n800 off last night, turn it on today, and the settings have all been lost - I had to turn them on again.
- concern - what other settings are getting lost over reboot?
- auto capitalization used to UPSHIFT the keyboard to indicate that it was shifting the first letter of a word. not now. caused me problems with a password until i realized i had turned it on along word prediction.

I've got the same thing happening on a newly flashed N800. The settings seem to disappear at random. I haven't been able to discern a pattern yet, but, like you, seem to lose them always over a power cycle.
I've had my N800 three days and seeing your post makes me think I don't have a defective unit. When and how does suspicious new behavior turn into a bug?

All settings lost after startup

hello,
unfortunatly my pb keeps losing all settings(mailaccounts, bookmarks, dock etc.). after i set everthing as it was before it disappeared again.
anyone knows what to do?
thanks

I sounds like you may be setting up prefs/settings for one account and logging on another account, but not quite. Any chance you lost, deleted, or misplaced your Home folder?
Read the Apple kbase Article:

Do you have file vault turned on?

Complete list of all settings lost when Aperture prefs are removed?

Hi. Does anyone have a complete list of what is lost (and needs to be reset) after the Aperture preferences file is deleted? This would be useful, no?

Hi Kirby,
It would be very useful, yes, but I do not know of any official document.
But from experimenting I found, that the preferences file contains
all settings you set from the Preferences panel (surprise, surprise)
the "recent directory" lists
the path to your Aperture library
the layout of the GUI
I always keep the original preferences file for reference, when I need to delete it. You can read the preferences file with Xcode, a free download from the AppStore and check the older settings.
Regards
Léonie
P.S. It is far easier to say what is not in the "Preferences" file: All settings that you find in "Your User Library > Application Support > Aperture", but you probably know all that

[Solved] Catalyst Control Center settings lost after reboot

Hi
After having a working desktop I decided not to use xinerama because it wouldn't work with the composite extension. So i decided to start from scratch. After following the wiki on making a dual-head setup in my xorg.conf file it kind of worked (cloned display 1280x1024). I changed settings in ccc and all was perfect (Big desktop 3200x1080). But then after restarting all ccc configuration was lost.
xorg.conf:

Section "Monitor"

And here is the log:

Does anyone know how to fix this or have a better solution on dual-head without xinerama?

I just realized that I wont need to be able to drag windows between screens. heh
I got it mostly right now. It's just that my second screen is black. You can move the mouse there but thats it. I will keep on working.
My .xinitrc
cat .xinitrc
#!/bin/sh
# ~/.xinitrc
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
[ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
done
unset f

setxkbmap -layout se
exec awesome
The xorg.conf.d should be untouched
sudo ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
10-evdev.conf 50-joystick.conf 50-vmmouse.conf
10-quirks.conf 50-synaptics.conf
The main issue and reason I started over was that Composite wouldn't work when xinerama was enabled.

ITunes settings lost after reboot

I have a problem where after a reboot the settings of iTunes are back to default. For example:
it loses the account for the Store (I have to re-enter email address and password);
it loses the wifi sync settings for my devices
it shows the iTunes tutorials screen, as if I'm starting iTunes for the first time
settings under preferences are lost
Other things are not lost:
the library is still there;
iTunes remembers the devices (when connecting it is handled as a known device) and knows what playlists/apps/.. to sync with it.
Since I'm not rebooting my Windows 7 PC a lot, the problem is not occuring a lot, it doesn't keep me from using iTunes, it is just annoying. Now after rebooting I decided it's enough and I would post the issue (since I can't seem to find a comparable issue).
Also worthwile noticing is that the problem is already there for some time, though I can't exactly pinpoint anymore when it started. Possible when iTunes 9 or 10 were realeased.
Now I'm using:
Windows 7 64-bit (completly up to date)
iTunes 10.5.2.11
Thanks for any help!

All settings lost on Mail and Safari

I walked away from my computer for about 10 minutes, and when I came back to check my email, I found that all my account settings were reset, and all my bookmarks, etc. gone in Safari. Any ideas why this would happpen? I am in New England with this big storm going on, would that have anything to do with it?

Not sure what the situation is now. Is your mail really gone from ~/Library/Mail/? Hasn’t it “reappeared” there, just like some of your settings?
The only thing that’s usually necessary in cases such as yours, after having fixed all the filesystem issues, is to re-create or restore com.apple.mail.plist using one of the following procedures:
(1) Restore ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist from a backup if you have one. Mail shouldn’t be running while you do this.
(2) Set up your mail accounts again. If given the option to import existing mailboxes or something like that, don’t. Just enter the account information and Mail will automagically rediscover the data in ~/Library/Mail/ when done. You’ll also have to re-configure most of your settings in Mail > Preferences. For spam-related security reasons, the first thing you should do is go to Preferences > Viewing and disable Display remote images in HTML messages if it’s enabled.
(3) Mail may have renamed the old preferences file to com.apple.mail.plist.saved. If that’s the case, you may trash the new com.apple.mail.plist and rename the old com.apple.mail.plist.saved back to com.apple.mail.plist. Again, be sure Mail isn’t running while doing this. Since Mail decided to discard it, I would expect this file to be corrupt (I don’t understand why would Mail discard it and create a new one otherwise), but apparently that often is not the case and the settings can indeed be restored by just renaming the file.
If your mail is gone from ~/Library/Mail/, however (something I find hard to believe, as you apparently didn’t have serious filesystem issues), and it’s not on the server, then you’ll have to either restore it from a backup or try to salvage as many deleted *.emlx files as possible with a data recovery tool such as Data Rescue II, TechTool Pro, or FileSalvage. Of these, the only one I know for sure that can currently recover deleted *.emlx files is FileSalvage. Stop using your computer right now if you want to try that, as anything you do with the computer may cause the deleted files to be overwritten.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.

Xfce4 Settings lost on reboot

Settings that I make for the the Panel such as Size/Position and launchers are not saved after a reboot, also settings made for Xterm are not saved.
I'm asuming these settings are simply saved in some file in my home directory?
So I'm not sure what could be going on here?
Last edited by action_owl (2009-09-18 02:26:56)

have you tried saving the session when you shutdown
you can try creating ~/.Xdefaults for xterm, like this for example.....

Settings lost after reboot (1841)

After learning the basics of this router over the past few days I can't get the actual setup/settings to remain saved after the router has been shut down for a day or two (still learning and experimenting).
Having set it up the way I want it, both through console and SDM I either save the config through SDM or "wr me" through the console and the settings are saved without any issues.
However, whenever I've turned it off and then on again I get the "Would you like to enter initial configration dialog? [yes/no]". I've always chosen "no". I get the message that the router has undergone a cold start and my interfaces are set in a administratively down state.
Doing a "show running-setup" reveals all of my settings have been reset.
What am I doing wrong?

Why all settings lost from turning off power to Airport Express?

QUERY: Am I required to keep the Airport Express unit powered continuously forever after now, or have to re-enter all the network names and passwords every time the power is turned off?
I just bought Airport Express station a few weeks back. It's downstairs next to the cable modem and my 7-year-old iMac purchased in 2004, which has no wireless capability. There is NO cable outlet OR telephone line upstairs near brand new iMac, which is WHY I BOUGHT THE AIRPORT EXPRESS; I didn't want to string a 100-foot ethernet cable upstairs.
Monday a very patient Apple tech guy talked me through getting it set up, which involved my racing up & down the stairs, re-setting the unit to clear my unsuccessful data inputs from the previous week, watching and waiting for the unit amber light to turn green, then in-putting the new data. With the tech guy's help, it worked fine.
Since the unit gets HOT while plugged in to the socket, I switched off the power strip. (My disabled brother and I live together, and we have to share a single connection to the internet. I'm away from home during the day, so this has worked fine when we used ethernet cables and a hub seven years ago.)
BUT now the very first time I've powered up the Airport Express since it was working FINE, it's NOT working. Amber light just blinks slowly forever.
I'm posting this from my SEVEN-YEAR-OLD iMac, 'cause the Airport Express evidently needs to be reset. Since following the instructions the FIRST time DID NOT WORK, I wanted to find out if powering down the Airport CAUSED the data to evaporate, before calling Apple again. Hey! I've been working with Macs, teaching computer graphics and working in interactive games for 3 decades! But clearly, there are GAPS in my understanding.
Thanks for any comments.

Hyper-V 2012 R2 - Linux Guest VLAN Settings lost after reboot

Hi Guys,
last night a have seen a strange behavior with a Sophos UTM 9.204020 Linux Guest VM. (This VM is based on SUSE SLES v11? i think)
So i have Setup this in my home lab and experienced the same problem.
----Setup-----
2 External VM Switches
Management OS is on VLAN 4093 with IP 192.168.20.1
The guest network adapter is in Trunk Mode, VLAN Tag (4093) is set in the guest OS with IP 192.168.20.100
Everything works until you kick off a reboot from the guest or hyper-v console, after the reboot you loose the connectivity on the network adapter with the vlan trunk.
If you shutdown the guest and start it everthing works again - this happens only on reboot!!
I have tried diffrent things (static mac, enable disable hardware features (vmq/offloading etc) on the vm network adapter but always the same error.
After some search on the net i have found this article: Link
This guy has the same problem with another linux vm (based on debian) his workaround was to trigger a powershell script with the eventlog after reboot of the vm, this works for me too but this must be bug?
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
André

Hi Andre,
I would suggest you to install the supported Linux guest OS on hyper-v , please refer to following link:

"Open With" settings lost on reboot

All file type associations are reset to their defaults when the machine is shut down. Where are the configuration files stored?

I ended up following the link at the end of that tip to find other solutions (I wasn't content with running a script when logging in), which, interestingly enough, linked back to the Apple support forums.
Anyway, I came across this post which works perfectly and doesn't require a script:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9468630#9468630
At the end of that thread, there are a few people who said that they no longer have this problem in Snow Leopard... Maybe I'm experiencing an edge case?
In any case, thanks for your help!

Photoshop Workspace Settings Lost Every Reboot

If Photoshop crashes, or if I restart my computer, my workspace settings are set back to default. Actions specifically, though other settings seem impacted intermittently. Add-ons (purchased actions) disappear. Any ideas would be appreciated.
On an aside, the removal of the 'oil paint' filter from CS6 to CC is really disappointing.
Thank you.
