Audigy 2 ZS, constantly have to reinstall drive

I have a 2 ZS sound card, 5. speakers. So far all I have used is Guild Wars, Winamp, and Ventrilo. It seems at a random time, my sound card fails, screeching noises and crackles replace all sounds (Note: Not cover or play over, but replace) I reinstall the drivers and its fine again, happens again in like 20 minutes. Whats up?

I don't believe it is the soundcard's fault. I think it is something working in the background. I would begin the troubleshooting, by disabling all programs working in the background. You may use a utility, Startup Control Panel which is freeware, and enable/disable processes that load during bootup.
If that doesn't help, I would then check other hardware components, such as the memory or chipset and try to change the PCI Latency settings, if available in the BIOS Setup or using the freeware.
The reason the soundcard produces cracks and pops is because it is not receiving data in a timely manner.

  • Constantly have to reinstall latest flash player

    I have a pain-in-the-***-problem!
    I'm running the latest Internet Explorer (IE8) and the latest
    flash player (on a Vista(32) platform).
    Everytime my computer has been turned off, I have to
    reinstall flash player eventhough it's activated, enabled, run as
    administrator and everything else that normally may cause it not to
    function.
    Not only do I have to reinstall FP, but I also have to
    uninstall it first before reinstall!!
    Can anyone tell me what the problem is?

    I use the uninstaller also but after restarting my computer
    the flash player is no longer installed anymore.
    I'm just using Firefox and Chrome until I can get this
    working on IE 8.

    Hi bodegakc,
    If you have the serial number then please use the below mentioned link to download the product you are looking for .
    CS5.5
    Also before installing Please go to Applications-->Utilities--> Adobe installers and if there is any uninstaller for CS5.5 , you can remove it and do a fresh install.
    You can also use creative cloud cleaner tool before installing.
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    Thanks

    You will need your serial number.  If you have the discs you should be all set.  If not, then you should be able to find it thru your Adobe account online if you registered the software previously.
    You might want to contact Adobe Support thru chat before you activate the new installation if you would like to free up the activation that might have been left in limbo.

  • During a error updating, I had to reinstall iTunes. When proceeding to install iTunes, the installer chooses M:// I dont have a M drive, I click change and the iTunes installer crashes. I've tried everything, help!

    Seriously no idea whats going on, and I'm usually pretty good with figuring an issue
    Heres the isse:
    When updating iTunes, after the restart I booted up iTunes and it crashed. I was prompted with iTunes had been updated incorrectly and to uninstall and reinstall iTunes. After downloading the installer from itunes.ca. I opened up the application, and clicked Next. Under the directory it says M Drive, I dont have an M drive at all, I click change and a prompt pops that says, "The volume M:/ is currently unavailable. Please select another." with "ok" being the only selection.
    After hitting ok, it says "itunes installer completed" "Errors occured during installation before iTunes could be configured. Your system has not been modified. To complete the installation, run the installer again. Click Finish to exit the installer." Finish is the only selectable, and upon restarting the installer the same thing happens. I hope theres someone who can help me out with this.

    Hello Fix88,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with installing iTunes.  I found a couple of resources that I think will help with this. 
    I recommend reviewing the following articles:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1926
    When uninstalling iTunes, it is important to remove iTunes and all related components in the order listed.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

    If you didn't have the opportunity to deactivate the installations then you should contact Adobe Support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations for all the serial numbers involved.
    Chat support - For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...
    Make sure you are logged in to the Adobe site, have cookies enabled, clear your cookie cache.  If it continues to fail try using a different browser.

  • I need appleisightinstaller.exe to install the isight driver for Windows Vista running in Parallel Desktop 6 for Mac, but I don't have a Leopard DVD. What came with my Macbook Air was a flash stick "MacBook Air Software Reinstall Drive" only.

    I need appleisightinstaller.exe to install the isight driver for Windows Vista running in Parallel Desktop 6 for Mac, but I don't have a Leopard DVD. What came with my Macbook Air was a flash stick "MacBook Air Software Reinstall Drive" only.

    All,
    A very interesting NOTE to this thread. In order to try and get the "ignore permissions" box to show up in GET INFO (so I could execute Matt the Magician's solution to file sharing issues)-- I ran the terminal command for disabling ACLs on my internal HD / start up disk (as indicated in the linked thread to BDAqua's forum).
    Although I understand that this was useless for disabling permissions on the start up disk (as everyone here pointed out) and allowing me to see the "ignore permissions" check box - somehow it did seem to fix my file sharing problem...and that was the root problem I wanted solved in the first place! After doing the terminal command and a quick reboot, I went in and tested file sharing on the chosen directory and I can create new files or work from existing files in the directory, with both users being able to modify / and save from both machines and each machine sees the revisions and can build from them. Bottom line - I'm stoked and want to thank everyone for their help.
    The only other tweak I made was going over to my wife's machine and instead of using her log in / password, I just used my name and password to connect to my main machine that was sharing directories. Maybe that's what fixed the problem or the ACL disable but either way...I'm up and running the way I want to be.
    Hope this thread helps anyone else who has these file sharing / permissions issues with Leopard. Especially for anyone wanting to do such a simple file sharing set up between 2 computers. I wish I understood exactly which tweak fixed the problem, but at least it works the way I want now.
    So happy to be done w/this one!
    Thx everyone. Any additional input on what solved it is welcome, so my curiosity is quelled...

  • Had to have my hard drive rebuilt in my PC (not Mac). When I reinstalled my music library from iTunes, several of the songs did not download properly - they appear in light colored ink on my library list but the songs will not play and will not synch

    Had to have my hard drive rebuilt in my PC (not a Mac).  When I reinstalled my music library from itunes, some of the songs did not properly download.  They appear in light colored ink, but will not play and will not synch with my iPod.  How can I get all of my songs back?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • IMac won't boot after updates,have to reinstall loin from recovery drive

    I have a 27" iMac running 10.7.1 and love it, but every time I do a software update it won't boot, it just goes to white screen with spinning gear forever! I let it set there for an hour and it never changed. I've tried restarting it but it just stops at that point,so I have to restart holding cmd-r to go to the recovery partition and have it reinstall loin,i've tried reparing the drive and perrmissions but it still wont boot unless i reinstall loin. I have five other macs running loin with no problem, so why just my imac?

    Hopefully you have AppleCare. If so, call Apple to see if this if you are afflicted with the dreaded motherboard problem.
    BTW, this area is for discussing iMac G4s. Since you have an iMac G5 you will probably want to make future posts in the iMac G5 discussion area.

    Hi,
    use Carbon Copy Cloner http://www.bombich.com/ to clone the OSX from your internal SSD to the external USB-connected one.
    Boot OSX from the external harddisk and install what programs/apps you want.
    No need to buy another OSX as Apple explicitly allows such usage.
    I don't have a MBA so I can't comment on the USB-hub.
    Regards
    Stefan
