Annoying clicks - Audigy 2 with Drive

Hello all,
I have an Audigy 2 on a W2k system. All was well until I retrofitted the Platinum Dri've Bay to get more I/O.
Now I get annoying, seemingly random clicks on the right channel when recording the Analog mix -independent of whether I'm using the Line input on the back of the Audigy 2 or the DB. The clicks appear also when I'm recording the SPDIF input on the DB. This would hint at a fault somewhere in the DB's analogue circuitry after the D/A converter, wouldn't it's The sound quality otherwise is fine.
Wonder if anyone has any suggestions.
Thanks,
Jari

I have this same problem... If I record on the left channel everything is fine but if i record on the right or in stereo the right channel pops and clicks at random. I tried reinstalling the drivers, i tried doing a clean reinstall of the card and i have swithched pci slots and none of these things have helped...the card is only two years old...i would hate to think that the card has all ready crapped out on me...Any ideas?....my next idea is to bring it to a shop to see if they can fix it and if they cant i guess it is to buy a new sound card but i am hoping for a cheaper alternati've.

Clicking sound with new P5800 Speakers

I just purchased the P5800 set and took off some cambridge soundworks speakers. The P5800 speakers have this annoying clicking sound. What is odd is that you hear the clicking sound as soon as you turn on the speakers but if you turn the volume level up about 2/3's to full volume the clicking goes away. I hear it when nothing else is playing. What could be causing this? If I can't fix it I will be taking the P5800's back and setting up my other speaker set.
Can you help?
Thanks,
Ken Scott

I've had this happen with another laptop. It would click away but work fine for a few weeks. After that, the system would often stop responding momentarily but come back to life in a couple of seconds. I started seeing plenty of data corruption in time, threw out the drive and got a new one.
Yours could behave differently but I'd continue with the time machine backups like there's no tomorrow! Btw, I've had mixed results with the WD blues, both the scorpio and caviar.

Windows 7 Installation problem: "no drives were found, click to load driver..."

I just purchased a Toshiba Satellite laptop (U945-S4140) that came with windows 8. I am trying to install windows 7 enterprise 64 bit.
I have the installation file on a bootable USB stick. In order to boot from the USB, I have to go into the BIOS settings and change from UEFI to CSM boot mode. Then the computer will boot from the usb stick and the windows 7 installation begins to work fine.
However, I soon get an error message that "no drives were found. click to load driver to provide a mass storage driver for installation."
I cannot figure out how to proceed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

I have tried many solutions....Maybe I should provide more details on my options.
Through my university I am granted the rights & license to use a copy on windows enterprise. From them I obtained a valid product key and also downloaded an ISO install file. It seems as if this file was designed to be burned to a dvd. I used windows 7 usb/dvd tool to burn the ISO file to a DVD. No problem there. However, my new laptop does not have an optical drive. So, I borrowed an external one that plugs in via USB. Again, in order to get ANYTHING to happen, I need to boot the USB(dvd rive) in CSM mode. Even then, it doesn't work. (I'm sorry but I forget the specific error I got here.....there have been so many methods and so many errors today)
Now, with this DVD, I have had a little bit of progress if I click the setup.exe file while Windows 8 is running. It begins the Windows 7 setup program, and even sees the harddrive! It asks me what partition I want to install to, and I selected the only 1 (of 4) that it said was 'available' to write to. Then, it loaded the installation files, but when it went to automatically restart, it froze during the 'starting windows' screen just as the little colored circles appear, that eventually form the windows logo. Again, I think the problem here might have been that during the restart, it looked to the USB-DVD drive, which needs CSM mode to boot properly, but Windows 8 can only start in UEFI mode.
Any attempt to put this ISO file onto a USB stick have not worked well. I used Rufus and the only thing that slightly worked was burning the ISO to the USB stick with a 'GPT partition scheme for UEFI controller' with the 'FAT32' file system. When using this to boot, I did not have to change the BIOS to CSM mode. The screen for 'loading files' came up like the installer was going to work. However, the computer then froze during the 'Starting Windows' screen, however, this time the little circles actually were able to form the windows logo. But, at that point I was left with a pulsing windows logo and it was stuck. It did not even make it to the actual installer.
The situation I posted about originally is slightly different. Some tech guys at my department's electronic shop have a bootable USB stick with the windows 7 enterprise installation software already on it. I used that and was at least able to get a little bit into the windows 7 setup before it told me it cannot find a disk to install to (as in my original post).

Hello Maxxpower33, thank you for your words.
I looked through the error logs that could be generated from the tool and found this one which may be what you experienced. Kindly let me know if this is what you got:
"Files copied successfully. However, we were unable to run bootsect to make the USB device bootable. If you need assistance with bootsect, please click the "Online Help" link above for more information."
Some further information is that I found this post where another user experienced the same error on a laptop, although the speculation mentioned in the post is that the user does not have a Windows store account under which he purchased the license for Windows
7 Home Premium, which is the flavor he was trying to get on the bootable drive. However, this does not seem to be a valid response due to the fact that the tool does not check Windows XAuthCert Servers for validation on licensing. So ignore that
portion of the post, but the 2nd post helps a bit by linking to another article, providing both below.
Forum Port With Same Error
Article with 4 methods to create
a bootable Windows 7 USB Drive
In that first post, further down, is another reply to a tool that I have not tested with. So please use caution on this one as I cannot find very much feedback other than on their own website, but sounds much like the first tool I mentioned in my first
post "Unetbootin", but this one is called Rufus, and two people did mention they had good success with this tool after having difficulties with the Windows utility.
Rufus
After all that is said and done, there is not 1 tool that will work for everyone all of the time on every environment. Why? I would like to know also...but speculate hardware/firmware/bios combinations could be the culprit. One of these
tools should work for you and it would be my recommendation to try them in this order (skipping what you've already tried):
1) Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool
2) Unetbootin
3) Manually creating the partition and xcopy'ing the extracted ISO to it
4) Rufus
5) Borrow a PC with a DVD-R in it and burn the ISO to a disc and install from it. If your laptop does not have a DVD drive, an external drive can be purchased for roughly $25 or less. Or if you have an internal drive laying around, buy an enclosure
for about $15 and put the drive inside there and attach it to your laptop via USB or eSATA.
As always, my advice is nothing more than my opinion, which are like bungholes...everyone has one and they all stink! LOL!

Annoying click coming from iPhone 3g's back cover

Hi,
I seem to be having a minor annoyance with my iPhone 3G.
The problem is the back cover, approximately where the bit that says 8gb when depressed, it makes a annoying clicking noise.
This is most annoying when I press the Home button, and it causes the back cover to click every time.
Is there any fix to this?

As already provided, if there is an Apple store nearby, you should make an appointment first.
You take the iPhone in, explain the problem, and if it is determined that your iPhone needs to be exchanged, you remove the SIM card and you will place it in the iPhone provided for the exchange. If activation is required which is likely since the SIM card needs to be "married" the iPhone's IMEI number, the Apple store should be able to do this for you.
With an exchange, you will receive an iPhone only provided in a white unsealed box. You don't need to take everything included in the retail box when your iPhone was purchased new since your iPhone is being exchange only.
One other thing if your iPhone is exchanged under warranty, before handing your iPhone over for the exchange, go to Settings > General > Reset, and select Erase All Content and Settings. This is a secure erase and takes about an hour or so. Make sure your iPhone has a good charge before taking it to the store for the secure erase option.

Adobe digital editions will not finish downloading ebook even after double clicking on hard drive .

ADE will not download and open the ebook automatially. After locating the .ascm (ebook) file on the hard drive and double clicking on that, it still will not open in ADE.

I did all that and after I close the ADE and double click on the file, ADE opens right up and it looks like it is downloading (very fast), but nothing shows up in the ADE.
How do I only get emails from you and not all the other people on the discussion?

Right click on the ACSM file or option click and go to Open With and select Other. You can then navigate to your Adobe Digital Editions and set the file to open with that. I would then recommend closing Digital Editions, if you have it open, and try double clicking the file. If Adobe Digital Editions opens then the file association is still correct. If you continue to have difficulties then I would recommend contacting the vendor you obtained the e-book from.

Exported Flash files make annoying clicks in Windows IE

On Firefox and Safari on OS X I can embed a Flash file exported from Keynote in a web page and view it with no problems.
However, at every slide change in Windows Internet Explorer, there is an extremely annoying clicking sound. It seems this is by design in IE -- any refresh is supposed to generate a click, and the change from slide 1 to slide 2, etc., apparently counts as a refresh.
(For what it's worth, in IE the URL is appended with #SlideFrame_1, then #SlideFrame_2, and so on. That suffix does not appear in either OS X browser. The click happens at the transitions from #SlideFrame_n to #SlideFrame_n+1).
I want to embed the exported flash on a web page and auto-run it, but Windows users will hear an irritating click-click-click until they navigate away from the site -- which they'll probably do quickly before they go crazy from the sound!
Any ideas on how to export Flash movies in a way that avoids this, or any tools to modify the Flash file so IE doesn't think it's refreshing?
(FYI -- while I'd prefer to export Quicktime, it's only on about 60% of my site visitor's browsers, while Flash is on over 95%).

Greg,
Have you found a solution for this problem? I too am experiencing the same problems.
Best,

How to get rid of the annoying clicking sound of an iPod Touch Keyboard

I just got an iPod Touch and I love it but I have a small problem with it. I'm really annoyed by the cliking sound the keyboard makes when you type. It's even more annoying that you can hear it without the headphones.
Is there anyway I can lower down the volume of the clicking? I'd really like some help with this.

Go to Settings>General>Sound Effects. Click Off.
As a note, this will remove all of the sounds effects on the iPod, not just the annoying clicking sound.

Annoying clicking noise inside my iMac

Hi,
I recently bought an iMac 3.06GHz and ever since I got it there has been an annoying clicking noise coming from inside the display. I had read loads of topics of this clicking whilst in sleep mode, or whilst it's doing something else, but literally, as I'm typing now, Safari is the only extra program running on my Mac and it's clicking, then stopping, then clicking some more etc.
I can best describe it as someone running a small stick over a set of small metal railings very fast and a bit more high pitched. If you catch my drift?!
I just can't seem to find a solution on the forums, so maybe I've missed it or something, but any help from you guys would be extremely well received.
Thanks.

Hi, thanks for the welcome
You think it's the hard drive? Eek, was hoping I wouldn't get that answer. What's my best option would you say? If I took it to an Apple Store, would they repair it for me? Surely I'm covered. I've only had my iMac since September.
Thanks for your responses. I shall be investing in an external hard drive for back up purposes.
Any additional info is still welcome. Thanks.

Always one annoying click too much to get to image...

For my Nokia 5800, as a frequent viewer of images, I'd like to get to that folder quickly. There is a button with an image symbol on the choices after clicking the "shortcut to media functions" (the small arrow-like button to the right above the screen) but when clicking it, you actually get to the Gallery menu, where the image folder is only one of several choices, including music and videos, although those already have separate buttons on the "shortcut to media functions" menu.
Therefore, I tried to make a shortcut to the image folder directly on the home screen instead, but the Nokia team appears to have forgotten to include that folder in the list of available shortcuts. The closest you can get is to the Gallery menu, which still is one annoying click too much to get to the image folder.
Does anyone know how to create an actual shortcut to the image folder?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

No worries. As for Nokia photo browser, I don't understand how it is still in the experimental phase considering it has been around for a couple of years now. I would love to see it make it to final release or even implemented into the firmware. It works great on Symbian^3.
All the best.

X220 touchpad, Can't right click drag with more than one stroke

1. Put cursor over a file or folder on the desktop.
2. Hold the lower right corner of the touchpad (embedded right button)
3. Drag with another finger (either hand)
4. Lift off the dragging finger to reposition, then touch again, and it lets go of the icon, returning it to the original position. (This means I'm not accidentally lifting off the right button. If I was doing that, the icon would remain where I moved it to.
There are 3 ways to keep it from doing this:
a. Use the right hard button above the pad.
b. Press the touchpad button below the bend along the lower edge (As close to the edge as possible.
c. Insulate the button pressing finger from the pad with folded paper, or press with a pencil eraser.
b and c above show that it's the presence of a touch in the active area above the lower edge bend, This touch, plus another touch being initiated in any other area of the pad interrupts the drag operation.
The "tap and drag" settings have no effect on this.
I just received the machine today after a 1 month order wait, and this is frustating enough to make me want to send it back. As-is, it's nearly impossible to do right-click moves using the right pad button. It becomes a 2-handed operation, one to hold the upper right button, and the other to do the dragging.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

ok.
Control panel, "Programs and Features" Uninstalled Thinkpad Untranav Utility and driver items.
Rebooted. Confirmed that these applications ar eno longer present.
Checked Device Manager, under Mice and Pointing Devices. All it shows there is "PS/2 compatible Mouse"
Results:
1. Right click with touchpad right switch now generates a right click.
2. Left, and right click drags with the touchpad lower switches now work, but there is a tendency for the finger touch to move the cursor off target before the press is completed.
Suggestion to Synaptics.
When pressing one of the touchpad switches, there will always be a finger touch on the touchpad sensing surface first, which will probably have a negative effect.
To avoid this, any initial touch in the lower left or right areas should be ignored, and any cursor motion generated by that touch should be undone as soon as the switch closes.
Downloaded latest driver and utility.
Installing driver (15.3.6.0 / 6hgx40ww) first, and restart.
Result for driver reinstall:
1. Right click with touchpad right switch works
2. Right click multiple swipe drag works.
3. Left click drag works, but ONLY if the clicking finger is touching the active area of the pad. If you click too close to the edge, or use an object to press the switch, then the switch closure itself is not recognized. The same issue exists for right clicks.
Actually the behavior seems to be reversed now, You MUST have a finger touch in the areas that prevented movement earlier to register the click event, If you press the switch too high, or too low, or with an object, such as pencil eraser, then there's no click.
So, with the new driver. I get acceptable dragging action as long as my finger isn't too far out of position.
However, doing things like dragging a scrollbar with these buttons is still very frustrating, since the cursor tends to move off target before the switch closes. This can be avoided by bringing the finger down onto the pad very quickly, to close the switch before any movement takes place. A slow press will almost always move the cursor before the click.
Installing the utility (7VGQ14WW) next.
Still works, and the initial lag when trying to drag things is now gone.
So, aside for the cursor to move while clicking, I'd say the problem was fixed by the new driver.
Thanks for the fast responses, and to the driver devs for fixing it this quickly.

Audigy 2 driv

i just reformatted my hard dri've and i lost the disk that came with sound card that has the drivers for it and this freaking website wont give me the drivers only updates that require the drivers already. so where the heck am i supposed to get the drivers from?

i took my sound card out to see exactly what it is, model number SB0090 (with no M or G at the end)
when i search the site by model number there is no SB0090, theres an SB0090M and SB0090G, both are some type of Audigy 2, but every time i download an audigy 2 driver, when i try to install it, it says"Setup could not detect any Sound Blaster Audigy 2/Sound Blaster Audigy on your system.
Please ensure that your Sound Blaster hardware is properly installed before running this Setup program.
Setup will now exit."
and dont tell me that "its not in all the way" or anything like that i've taken it out and put it back in many times, i've tried it on 3 different slots on my mother board it keeps saying this and every time i turn on my computer it says windows detected new hardware so i know that it's being detected by windows so wtf is the problem? in the device manager its there under "Other Devices" as "Multimedia Audio Controller"
when i do a search for drivers it comes up with nothing and when when i try to install any driver it doesnt work.

Good News? Audigy with EAX - Working in Win 7 Beta

2Good News? Audigy with EAX - Working in Win 7 Beta} Helo!
First I have instaled the Audigy support pack and my old Audigy MP3+ works fine (in/out, Game port, Creative Audio Console, SoundFont bank manager ) but the EAX console do not run and the EAX in Audio Console have only the enviroments, not the EQ and FX. In other battle I have instaled the Audio HQ of
original installation CD. I stoped the install before the drivers... I want only the Audio HQ working and in the old EAX console I can configure the ENV variables. Then I read a post where I heard speak about the PAX PCI Audigy OS V6.25, well... why not try this too? Run the driver deinstallation and restart.
Then the driver install runs and I see the modem link light indicate a download (?) next the classic blue window of death appear.
Shut down windows and restart and all works fine including the EAX in the Audio Console with ENV, EQ, FX options. The old EAX console works fine and I can configure all the effects. Now only the Creative Game port don't install but I make the Update driver using the one in Audigy support pack and now all works fine.
I hope wich this can help somebody...

' - any input maybe on solving the microphone mess maybe ? i can hear from speakers the microphone input, but the signal it doesnt seem to get through the drivers or any windows routine that can recognise and control it, its like its going from microphone directly to speakers without any app or windows to be able to trace it or sense it ...
- from encoder switcher, which encoder should i prefer to leave on? and whats the difference? what applications does it affect ?

Windows 8, Y55 ideapad continual clicking issue with touchpad. Help please

For some reason, when I tap to click the item I clicked remains actively clicked when I move my hand away from the touchpad. In order to process any action, I need to move my cursor away from the button I'm trying to click.
Interestingly enough I tried to disable tapping to see if it would solve the issue, and tapping continued to work...which is odd. It doesn't have this issue when I click objects with a mouse, only when I use the trackpad. Please help me, I'm confused.

hi BFG9000,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
You can try Uninstalling the driver of your touchpad from Device Manager, under Mice and other pointing device and make sure to put a check on Delete Driver/software prompt.
Then try Checking the touchpad if it works ok without a driver, If it does then try downloading a driver from synaptics website.
If not then Most likely this is a Hardware concern and you need to contact Lenovo Technical Support for assistance.
Best Regards

I accidentally clicked restart with windows vista.now i cannot get out of it. i cannot eject the disc and i am stuck on the installation page

I accidentally clicked restart with windows vista. now i cannot get out of the installation page and no matter what i try i cannot get it to start up with macintosh. i cannot ejet the disc either.

i was going to say the exact same thing as jerry. You can also eject the disk in that mode if you want. It also works if you hold down the option key before you turn it on- just so you dont miss the moment. What I say to do is power off, hold down the option key, while holding it down, power on. When a menu pops up, you can let go of the button. Once in the mode, select with the mouse your mac os hard drive/ boobable and then click enter or click the arrow on it. Then your fine!
