Audigy 2 Zs Platinum Install Procedure help needed
Namaste all, this is my first post and I am new to Creative products, as I might be the only person in Nepal with the Platinum package! I have an Intel 95 chipset motherboard with that sucky Realtek soundchip, so my brother gave me this Creative product he got from the USA. It looks grand, but the Quick Start confused me, it says to do the install of hardware and then when Windows finds the new hardware to cancel, and then install the Creative software from CD.
Well, from expierence with other hardwares this is not so good a procedure, as u get unknown devices if something goes wrong with the software install, and I know the disk is almost 2 years old. So I downloaded all the updates for SB350 on this site (a whooping 85+ megabytes) and my question is this:
Which software do I install first, the old or the new? And it seems to me it would be better to have drivers there first, or should I not be second guessing the Creative Engineers?
Can anyone tell me what exactally what to do? There is a ton of softwares in the package I can see, and I am wondering what to do now to prevent problems later.
Well, thanks and I look forward to hanging out in the forum to learn about my cool new sound package.

katman, yes i did, i can bring up mediasource from the creative volume icon in the status bar...player, organizer, Go! and Go! launcher. wow, way too much software...
So I am hoping the update makes all this stuff look better...does it's The Mediasource Go! is version 2.00.06 with a theme engine of V3.0.37...but the Organizer has an about screen that says Creative Media Source 2.02.05. I can't make sense of this but if I get the latest versions on this system at least I can evaluate and make some intelligent choices before i remove it
I really don't get the two icons, creative volume and Mediasource gO, on right click they both have almost the same choices!
Anyway, thanks for your help...what to do next? I am a freak about making sure all the drivers and software are the latest on my machines.
And now I found a hardware problem - or a user problem - how do you get line in 2 on the front of the dri've to work? Mine does not seem to....
thanks!

Home studio - Having Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro do I need a mixer for professional recordi
<SPAN class=postbody>Hi, I've got Shure PG 58 (dynamic mic) and Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro. Is there any sense to buy any mixer or preamp to make the quality better? Do I feel a difference using mixer/preamp ? I really don't know what is the role of the external box of AUDIGY 2 PLATINUM PRO (is it a substitute of mixer/preamp ?) Thank you in advance skorp
it depends on who you ask, but the preferable way for most people is to use a high quality outboard mic preamp and send that into the line in. This is because the mic preamps in most consumer cards are considered cheesy. So boosting the mic up with a preamp gives you the advantage of being able to use the line input with your mic which is generally better quality sound.
As i said tho, it depends on who you ask. I have a shure Beta 57 which is an industry standard for pro sound microphones. Not a $5000 recording mic. But a very good general purpose mic. I go into the audigy 2ZS's mic input. However, to do so you need a impedence transformer (about $20) and you need to wire a stereo mini plug so that it bypasses the power that the jack supplies for PC mics which require it. In any case, i do this because i'm not a subscriber to the "use a preamp into the line in" club. Yes, it will produce better tone, but the question is how much better and how much of that improvment will actually make it to your ear? Personally i have tried both ways and find the difference tobe negligable. I'm sure that could change to some extent with a different card or mic or some other difference. But for me with an audigy 2 and the shure mic with an impedence transformer i get what i feel is very good sound the way i do it. So i really don't care what some may say. (many will insist you're stupid for doing it any other way than a preamp) I've been a musician for over 3 decades now and i know the difference between good and bad sound. And what i get from this setup is very good sound to my ear. Maybe not the best, but it's no slouch !
By the way, the creative box as far as the inputs is just basically an extention of the rear panel to make for the convenience of having your connections up front. -
I have an Imac 800Mhz PPC G4 with OSX 4.11 installed, THANKS! Quicktime help needed?
Thanks for your kind reply Quicktime Kirk! Thanks in advance to anyone who replies to this as well. I have heard that what I need is an older Quicktime Version that allows for saving files, etc. But apple does not support it & I should look elsewhere - hence my appeal on this forum. Also, for some reason, when I try to upgrade to Quicktime Pro my browser (both Safari & Firefox) quits as I am about to complete my purchase. In any event, the real question is this: would the Quicktime Pro upgrade be compatible with my current system?

I would like to create a table (I don’t know the number of columns) whose values have to be picked from all the tables in the user_tables which are like ‘LINKED%’ .
There are around 600-700 tables in the DB whose name is like ‘LINKED%’
All these table have 5 common cols – IDENTIFIER,C_NAME,CODE,MEAN,VALIDATEX. In addition to this it has some few other extra cols which are not identical for all these tables. There are tables with only 5cols and also there are tables with 20cols(which includes this 5 common column )(other tables with variable cols but not less than 5common columns)
I would like create a procedure where I need to create a table in the runtime and populate this new table with values from all the 700 tables. The cols name of the new table will be known only during runtime.
Kindly help me in this..
Can I have some ideas how to do this in other ways…

This is an indication that the permissions on your system are messed up. There no need to run a script in SUM. Simply run the repair permissions function from the Disk Utility app or if you feel the need to connect with the BSD underpinnings then->
diskutil repairPermissions /
Hope for the best. Again ->

A permissions issue on your system. The bootstrap executable is NOT a double clickable application. You should be calling it from within the Terminal app as root (with sudo). You would be better off learning how to use OS X's BSD subsystem before attemping to install fink or rolling your own open source software. The software, Mac WoWModelViewer, is beta. I going to suggest that you forego installing it. -
I am trying to install a software program on my destop computer, I am the administrator, running 7 Home Premium, 64 bit, I downloaded the program but when I try to install "Installer failed to initialize". I turned off the antivirus program, that did not help. I contacted Adobe for help, I did what they said, turn off antivirus, redownload,tried to install and again "Installer failed to initialize". Any ideas as to what I can do?
When requesting help you should always include the make/model (i.e. p6-xxxx) of the computer and/or monitor. This information is necessary for us to review the specifications of them.
What is the program? I presume that it is an Adobe product.

My Entourage is very slow and 2 Error pop ups (above) are showing. Additionaly, a warning about the start up disc being full. I decided to back up to an external HD.When backing up I was surprised to see 9.4GB in the catagory named 'Other'. Ive probably got too much junk stored here (unless it could be imovie files?). If I could see what was in 'Other', and delete what I dont need, this may be the answer to freeing up more space. The next big file I have is under 'Pictures' which is 1.7GB. I have never downloaded any video or Youtube stuff.
This is my first experience on this forum.Apple in their glorious wisdom did not update the root certificates for users of 10.5, only for 10.6 and later.
You'll need to make some changes, open your Keychain Access in your Applicaitons or Utilitties folder.
Delete the compromised DigiNotar root certificates, also change the KeyChain Access preferences > Certificates to
Best Attempt
Best Attempt
Require Both
Because the Certificate Autorities themselves are being attacked, you need the most recent and varied source of valid certificates so your comptuer does the best it can to verify the site your visiting is legitiment.
Also make sure the time and date on your computer is accurate and updated with Apple's time severs, allow any such time requests out your outgoing firewall (aka LittleSnitch)
You might decide to upgrade to 10.6, it's the best OS version for users of Intel Mac's, strips out the PowerPC code your not using and improved video drivers for better graphics performance. It should run most of your 10.5 software with just minor updates at most.
Please backup your data off the machine (not TimeMachine) before doing anything as you might need to wipe the drive if the upgrade doesn't go correctly.

However OS X Lion 10.7 is a radical change, won't run your older software or drivers and likely be slow on most older hardware. I'd advise against installing it, buy it with a new machine instead. -

Install problems - help needed desperately for new Java user
I have been trying to install Java SE Development Kit 6 - Version 1.6.0_13. Initially I could not get the javac process to work no matter what I tried. After uninstalling and reinstalling numerous times I now have it so that my javac will rewrite my file from a .java to a .class file. Now when I try to execute my Hello.class file I am getting an error message....
Error occurred during initialization of VM

Can anyone please help me fix this? I was really anxious to learn programming but all of these setbacks are really frustrating. I have basic books to help when I am up and running but nothing helps you with problems with installations.

hello ive an assignment due but ive hit a brick wall, would anyone be as kind to help me?
ShareTraders LTD is an online share brokerage which allows its customer to trade shares on the US stock market. Customers can either sell or buy shares – the sales price depends on the curently quoted prices in the share table. The below ERD
shows a section of their database that refers to their customers who trade shares online.
Funds are categorised into different categories.
Customers may limit their exposure to a particular category of fund.
Customers fund their share purchases through funds.
Customers may limit their exposure to a particular category of fund.
Shares are grouped into different categories.
Customer trades are tracked in their portfolios.
The shares that the customer’s trade are recorded in their portfolios.
Staff are authorised to change the share prices of particular categories of shares.
Staff are authorised to change the share prices of particular categories of shares.
TSQL à Stored procedure
Create a stored procedure (call it
Assign1) which will
insert a purchase of shares into the CustomerPortfolioTBL for a customer. The data that will be passed to the stored procedure is: the CustomerID, the ShareID, and the TransactionAmount.
The data for the other columns in the CustomerPortfolioTBL will be got as follows
TransactionID
à make sure that this column is an identity column which will automatically generate the next TransactionID.
TransactionType – this column will be filled by your sproc with the word “Purchase”.
SharePrice
à the price will be read from the share SellPrice column in the ShareTBl for that ShareID.
TransactionDate
à this column will be filled by your sproc with todays date
à use the GetDate() function.
Business Requirement
Customers are not allowed to purchase more than 5 times in the current month. Your sproc must therefore:-
Count the number of purchases the customer has made this month
à use the Month() and the GetDate() functions.
If the no of purchases is greater than or equal to 5 your sproc must send an error message of “Sorry
purchase is refused 5 purchases have been made this month”
Customers cannot spend over their exposure limit for a particular share category – get this from the CustomerExposureTBl. Your sproc must therefore:-
Read in to an internal variable the exposure limit from the CustomerExposureTBl for the inputted CustomerID.
Add up all the transaction amount of shares that the customer has purchases (TransactionType = purchase) for shares whose category is the same as the share
being purchased). Put this calculation into an internal variable.
Add up all the transaction amount of shares that the customer has sold (TransactionType = sale) for shares whose category is the same as the share being
purchased). Put this calculation into an internal variable.
iv)
If ((Total Purchases
of share in this category – Total Sales of share in this category) + TransactionAmount) is greater than exposure limit your sproc
must send an error message of “Sorry purchase is refused Exposure limit is breached”

My eMac has Leopard installed - urgent help needed
I have an eMac (1.25mhz). Apple's website information states that I can install Leopard. But after installing, I got a “”pinwheel” error, and I could not access the Finder. Now, everything is frozen.
Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
++ (Mine is 1.25ghz.)
512MB of memory
++ (I have 512MB.)
DVD drive for installation
++ (I have this.)
9GB of available disk space
++ (I have more than double this.)
Using my Family Pack registration, I had easily installed Leopard onto an iMac (2ghz) and MacBook (2.1ghz), so the DVD media is okay.
I want to back-install Panther so I can use the computer again (assuming the system lets me; right now, it's in freeze.) Otherwise, I can’t use the computer.
We don’t own a spare Firewire drive – just the disks I got with my computer. How do I get it working again? Would I really have to toss this machine otherwise?You can go back to Panther. You wont be able to just do an "upgrade" though and I'm not sure Archive and install will work for back-grading. So, you will probably have to do a clean install, which means completely erasing your hard drive and reinstalling the operating system fresh. This can be done easily with the Panther install disk. When your reinstalling there should be an "options" menu on one of the install screens or something to that effect that lets you choose to erase the hard drive and install the operating system, there is also an option for this in leopard.
Either way, you are going to have to reinstall the OS if you want to get the computer working again. And if you end up doing a complete erase and install I would try to reinstall Leopard again first, it seems like its just a bad install, Leopard should run fine on your system, people have got it running on much less, but if it still doesn't work do the same thing to get back to your install of panther.
As for a simple way to wipe the disk, one does exist. Just boot up from the Leopard (or Panther) install disk. Once it loads click on the "Utilities" menu in the menu bar and then Disk Utility. Select your computers hard drive and select the "Erase" tab. Set the Volume Format to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) if it isn't already selected. Then click Erase, let disk utility do its thing and there you have a nice clean hard drive. After that you can either continue with the leopard install, which I would try first, or you can eject that disk and put in the Panther install disk and install it if you wish.

Audio software not installed. Help needed
Hello,
I recently did a re-install of SL 10.6 on a Mac mini.
The audio device doesn't work, seemingly.
The output device for sound in System Preferences > Sound is for 'Internal Speakers' only, there is no other device.
Please advise if I can 'get' the audio driver from somewhere or if it would be best doing a re-install again. I am not looking forward to doing a re-install again but, if necessary...
Thanks,
KeetoI shut the mac down, took out the audio cable[digital-optical] and then rebooted. After fully loaded, I replaced the cable connector into it's port....worked for me.

Audigy 2 ZS Platinum P10 Headphone HELP
Hi all,
i have a Audy 2 ZS Platinum, and i was getting problems with my P10 conector for headphone.
I Tryed to change the P10 Unsuccessful. Now nothing work.
I Want to know How to make a direct-conect to my soundcard and the P10Jack .
My problem is the Left And Right tracks was not so visible. I want to know what capacitor(or what would be?), this tracks come to make it work somehow.
Here a picture of the pins.
Hope someone can save me.

Audigy 2 zs Platinum Pro...Need Impedance on ALL inputs...CREATIVE ARE YOU LISTENI
on the I/O console:
line-in is also mic-in (when the Gain is turned to ON)
could someone provide me with information on BOTH CHANNELS of the MIC-IN (when the Gain is set to ON)
there is a Left and Right channel (remember its a stereo connector that goes in there)
then after that line-2 and line-3 would be great to know also which are just regular (non dual mode) switches.
i know CREATIVE CLAIMS that the MIC-IN on this I/O console = 600ohms but what is it on EACH CHANNEL?
when i measure the Right channel i get around 720ohms but when i measure the Left channel its about 350ohms.
now i need the specs so i can determine if this is a piece of defecti've equipment or not!
so creative please reply as soon as possible.
i didnt reply over the weekend because i didnt think you all would read the forums then so i waited saturday and sunday until today.
thank-youI'd give you a stereo adapter, too, since you might want to use the port as line-in. However, you may not be aware that a mono /4" plug fits in a "stereo" /4" jack. The mono plug has no ring, but it has a longer sleeve, which means that the ring contact and the sleeve contact in the jack get connected together, in that case. The same thing is true of /8" plugs and jacks, so the more general /8" female to /4" male adapter is the "stereo,"? three-contact version. If you plug a mono plug into a stereo input, you will ground the right-channel input, which means you will get the left channel, but the right channel signal will be 0 volts and will end up silent. If I were to design a dual-purpose line/mic jack, I'd have to use a stereo jack, but I could switch what I do with the input signals, ignoring the right channel in mic mode, running the left signal through a mic preamp circuit, and sending the preamp output to both channels, so the mic signal is panned to the middle of the stereo field, instead of hard left.
