Audigy 2 ZS Distortion Issues With Vista - See if this solution works for you guys

First of All Creative - It's sad, really sad that you really haven't supported your customers. As such a big maker of excellent products, I'm disappointed to know that you have barely provided driver support to your customers. I've been buying Creative products since 1997 - Also - I purposely upgraded my sound card on my Hp Media Center to an Audigy 2 ZS. Secondly - I formatted my computer and re-installed Vista. Before that, the sound card i.e. the sound worked fine (after a lot of trial and errors with different drivers, i somehow managed to get it working without Snap, Crackle and Pop Issues. In other words, I experienced distorted playback when I first installed Vista. Now that I re-installed Vista - Everything installed but as usual - only issue: Yup, you guessed it right.
Creative Audigy 2 ZS Infamous Snap Crackle Pop (SCP) I did try k_daniels drivers and even though I applaud for his efforts - unfortunately it didn't work for me but i'm sure they would if you did the following - ) Uninstall all Creative Drivers Using Driver Sweep2) Do not install the driver through Windows Update (did not work for me)3) Install latest drivers from Creative or K_Daniel's Package4) Install Vista Codec Pack5) Install DirectX06) Then do the following: Got this sorted. Hope it works for everyone..found the answer searching Google.
Right click VOLUME icon in taskbar
Click PLAYBACK DEVICES
Right click SPEAKERS
Click PROPERTIESClick ADVANCED Make sure there's no tick marks in any of the options there including ENHANCEMENTS.
This should sort it. [After doing all this, I have no sound issues whatsoever - Crystal Clear Audio Quality but still not better then XP] I am planning to try K_Daniels pack with all the extra applications and I'll post later on in regards to my experience with the pack. Good Luck P.S: Hope this helps somebody because doing all that helped me get back the audio clarity I was looking for without any distortion whatsoever.

Hi xmins
Im not using a decoder, only an amplifier alone with two speakers ... My cable is plugged in line out , and then plugged on line in of the amplifier.
The distortion is very audible, in HL 2, Battlefield 2, etc
When got a explosion, a shot from shotgun, missile, the sound comes distorted ...
Any more hints?

VPN-User,
Ok - I see the list of issues and will ensure our X300 specialist takes a look at it.
Please do understand that while you have put together a very coherent list, I try to ensure priority to threads in which multiple customers are focused on a single issue, as we deliver the most benefit to the community in working on those. This forum is primarly a peer to peer discussion forum rather than a Lenovo chat / tech support where we try to solve each and every issue put forth.
Individuals with a long list of issues on a particular machine may find benefit from either contacting technical support and working through their list, or publishing it as you have done and wait for other users of the same system to share their experiences.
Thanks for your patience

Issues with HP Mouse, does it only work with HP devies?

I have an HP mouse, that I am trying to use with my ASUS tablet. It worked for a few days and then when I click my device under available devices it does not connect. I got another mouse and the same issue occured after a few days of using it.

Nope, an HP mouse is like any other mouse and will work on what ever Windows type machine its plugged into.
Im not a tablet user but I will offer one thing it could be.
BTW you didnt mention what the ASUS tablet model number is so its even harder to troubleshoot.
Does this tablet have a keyboard dock?
If so, connect it and check to see if the mouse was disabled with the button on the keyboard on the top row.
I hear they have an enable/disable button on them. Possibley the 4th key from the left.
If not then Im sorry, you will need to contact the ASUS forums.

You are going to have to contact Adobe on this one. We are other users.
Sounds like it's not even an Apple question? Not sure.
But the Adobe program changed, nothing changed in iTunes, right?

I have been having issues with not receiving texts and voicemails daily, for a few months now. If I turn the phone completely off, when I turn it back on the messages will flood in from hours before. I can't be continually turning off my phone in case someone left me a message. How do I resolve this issue?

Wifi: my Cell phone will remember 10 wifi connections. So delete any you don't use often and your home wifi and try to enter home wifi again.
if it still won't connect to home wifi, call your internet provider for help. You may need a newer router or different settings Or upgraded service. Your phone seeks the best connection and will refuse lesser connections.
last resort. Backup the phone. Do a full reset, then restore as new with the backup.
if still not fixed, go back to apple and insist on repair or replacement.
HOWEVER. voicemail is not a wifi issue, it's a carrier function, which is why the SIM card is a suspect.

Issues with getting the slide button to work after upgrade to iOS 7.02 and 7.03

Ever since upgrading to iOS 7.02 and 7.03 having issues with getting the slide button to work to open up iPad 2. Happened last week and was able to restore it to new and get it to work again and it worked great until one week later (this morning) doing the same thing. Have tried restoring iPad to new 3 times (via itunes) and still unable to get the slide button to move so can use the iPad. IPad able to charge, able to restore, able to sync with itunes even able to recover but not able to get past first screen where you have to slide to access iPad. Any help would be greatly appeciated. Live about 300 miles from nearest Apple store.

I am beginning to wonder whether there isn't some weird problem with that Home button.
Try this: Settings > General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch = On
This will place a button on the iPad's screen.
You can move this button anywhere on the screen.
This button gives you - amongst many other things - a soft Home button.
To turn your iPad on, you can use the Sleep/wake button or move a small magnet across the bezel of the iPad where the volume controls are.
If you use the magnet, then: Settings > General > Lock / Unlock = On
Now should not need to press the Home button anymore.
If this method allows you to use your iPad without a hitch, then suspect hardware problems with the Home button.

Anyone had issues with on/off sleep button not working anymore

Anyone had issues with on/off sleep button not working anymore?

If there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation or set up Service and take or send to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, use virtual Lock Button, tap Settings App > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > tap new white screen button > Device > Lock Screen. This can even turn OFF iPhone. To turn ON, connect iPhone to power, charger or USB of computer.

Trouble with Safari 6.0.5. Works for a few minutes then locks up in all tabs (wheel spinning). Chrome

Trouble with Safari 6.0.5. Works for a few minutes then locks up in all tabs (wheel spinning). Chrome & Firefox work fine. Using OSX 10.8.4. Wonder if I downloaded plugin causing this? Please help.

Yes, a plugin or an extension either one...
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Security tab.
Deselect: Allow all other plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
If it's not a plug-in issue, select the Extensions tab. If there are any extensions installed, turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that made a difference, uninstall one at a time, quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the culprit.

Mac OSX v10.6.5: How's it working for you with Premiere Pro CS5?

If you've installed Mac OSX v10.6.5, let us know how it's working for you.
Please make sure that you're using the most recent update for Premiere Pro CS5 before you report back. We don't want to waste our time disentangling problems that were actually fixed in Premiere Pro CS5 (5.0.2) from issues that still exist.

So, here is my experience:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/751458?tstart=0
Basically:
Premiere Pro does not want to play the timeline (or the source window) anymore. Sometime it plays for 2 minutes, sometime for 2 seconde and then stops, but most of time, it wont play at all.
I can scroll over my timeline (no sound scrolling), but when I hit space bar (or clic on the play button) I can see the play button turning into a square (which mean it's now the stop button), but the timecodes doesn't run and the image doesn't play.
So I suggest people to not being stupid as I was and to wait before to update... And hope a solution to come soon.

Charger with serial number A1300 is not working for iPhone 5, is it?

I have an issue charging my new iPhone 5. I bought an extra cable - and they seem to both work when pluggin it into any computer. But one of my chargers will not work with it - but it works if I plugin my iPhone 4. How come? I noticed that the serial number is A1300. I borrowed one from a friend with serial number A1400 - and that worked (with the same cable).
can I conclude that chargers with serial numbers A1300 don't work for iPhone 5?

Any iPhone or iPad charger should work with the iPhone 5. There is something wrong with your charger. If it is the one that came with the phone it is covered by the phone's warrantee.

I have the same problem. It is only with tv shows and only with programs I have downloaded after the software update.
Apple support sent me the above link too....but it doesn't solve the problem...my computer is authorized and the content is in my library and will play on my Mac air, but it will not sync the tv shows, it keeps saying my computer isn't authorized for it.
No answers here, but you are definitely not alone with this issue.

can i download the final cut pro x free trial twice? i need a bit more time to see if it will work for my needs

No.
A trial is a trial.

Drawing with a custom profile stroke is not working for me. Does it work for you?

Drawing with a custom profile stroke is not working for me. Does it work for you?
I can only apply it on an existing stroke but can't draw a new one with the selected profile. In fact if I change the profile to other than the default Uniform I also can't draw a new stroke with any other width than the default 1 point. This doesn't seem normal.
Using SC5 on a PC.

Another question on the same topic.
Once I add a new profile to the list is it possible to put it on top of the list. I need this because the Adobe people decided to put the list in a tiny scrollable window with only a few of the first profiles showing. If there is noting in the interface may be I have to modify some program files settings?
