Audigy 2 ZS Recording Source keeps changing in g

Hi all,
all of a sudden I've been experiencing weird problems with my SB Audigy 2 ZS. Every time a new level loads in CounterStrike Source the recording source in the MediaSource player changes to Wave. This means that everything I hear is echoed back to all my friends in TeamSpeak and it all sounds very weird. Every level change I have to tab out of CS and change the recording source back to Line-In /Mic.
Any idea why this happens, and has only started happening recently? Oh and how to fix it would be great too! :-)
Cheers
Nick

all of sudden?
no, not all of sudden, except if you just tried CSS.

Why does the Input Source keep changing?

I have two languages in my list of Input Sources - Maori and Australian. I normally have it set on Maori, but in the last week it's been defaulting back to Australian. Anyone have any ideas how to resolve the issue??

Input Source Keeps Changing On Mac OSX 10.9.5

On an Imac Late 2013 with 10.9.5 installed - I switch to Greek Polytonic and when the computer is shutdown or restarted - it switches back to US. I've tried different log ins with the same result. For awhile a few weeks ago - it seemed to work, i.e. when the computer was shutdown or restarted - the Greek Polytonic Setting stayed. But recently - it started switching back to the US after a restart or shutdown. Is this a known bug with 10.9.5? Thanks, Bob

Recording Source Changed by G

Hi there, I have an Audigy 2 Platinum eX. I've recently started playing Counterstrike (a Half Life Mod), I use a piece of software called 'Ventrilo' to talk to friends via my mic during gameplay.
The problem is, every time I open Counterstrike, the recording source in my 'surround mixer' gets changed to 'wave/mp3' from 'line /mic'. This means that when I talk on ventrilo, whatever I am listening to (noises from gameplay) are broadcast to the other users on ventrilo.
The only way I can stop this, is to alt+tab out of counterstrike, and change the recording source back to line /mic.
There are no settings inside counterstrike to define the input source (as they have an integrated voice comms) and I can't find any options to disable or change the source it picks.
My friend has my old Sound Blaster Li've! Platinum, and he doesn't have this problem.
Is there any way to maybe disable applications from changing the recording source? Or any other solutions?
Sorry for writing so much, and thanks for your help!

empty_sound,
You may need to change certain setting within CS. Check this article from Steam.

"recording stopped because the format of the source media changed" Error

I am trying to import video from my digital camera via firewire to quicktime...
the New movie recording screen appears and works, but after a random amount of time (normally just around 4 minutes..) the recording stops and the message appears..
"recording stopped because the format of the source media changed"
I have plenty of disk space, and am sending the output vid to the desktop..
please help.. I have spent 3 days trying to record the vid...
I cannot import via imovie because I want to have the sound come from a different source then the movie.. i.e. Quicktime lets me get vid from DV and sound from "saffire" sound card..
Thanks

Select Recording Source issue on Audigy 2

I unistalled and installed the program and can't get it to work. I have the Audigy 2 ZS plat. with the software and all. Problem I have when I open up the Organizer MediaSource Player everything works but the "select recording source" button or selection doesn't work. It's kind of blanked out as if I don't have that option at all. But when I go to the mixer I can here the line inputs but I can't record from it b/c I can't select it. If anyone has this issues let me know or how to solve it. I have windows XP and also my Audio Stream recorder doesn't work either.

Ok I got it to work. This is the reply I got from Creative but I didn't remove the program from the add/remove option on the PC b/c that didn't work at first. I inserted the installation CD and remove it from that wizard. Rebooted and the PC found new hardware. I then installed the driver and software from the CD and now it works.
For Mediasource. It appears something was corrupted in Mediasource or there is a conflict within the system.Please uninstall all software and drivers for the soundcard, from add/remove programs. Once this is done, shut down the system and changePCI slots for the soundcard, then turn the system back on, cancel the found new hardware wizard, disable all background applications (especially virus scanner, firewall, and any other background applications running in the bottom right hand corner of the system), andthen perform a full reinstallation of the drivers and software from the soundcard installation cd.
CAT I hope you fix your sound card. Good luck.

Microphone input recording source while using Steam/Ventr

I own the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Zs. I also use a voice program called Ventrilo while
playing CounterStrike/Steam. My problem occurs when I play counterstrike. I go into the
surround mixer and choose Line-In 2 as my recording source as that is where I have my
microphone plugged into. It works fine normally, but when I open up Counterstrike/Steam
the surround mixer changes my recording source to the microphone, instead of Line-In 2.
It also does it every time I restart my computer. I would like my recording sourece to
always be Line-In 2 but for some reason it doesn't like to be that. Is there some file I
have to change so that it will always remain as the Line-In 2 or something else I have to
do? Any help will be much appreciated.

dr_bay2,
This was down to the game and it's setting. You can try the solution from Steam website and see if it hel

CHANGE_TRACKING_MIN_VALID_VERSION keeps changing even there are no changes in that table

Hi,
We use stored procedure like below to get the data on intial load as well as subsequent changes. The underllined part of the stored procedure to get the last_sync_version is slightly different from what Microsoft has suggested. (not using CHANGE_TRACKING_CURRENT_VERSION).
That is because we download data to staging from multiple sources and from their we want to process data from one source at a time (DATA_SOURCE_KEY filter).
What we notice is that, when there is no data for a table for sometime, once the change tracking gets purged for that table, we keep hitting the condition @LastVersionId <@MinVersionId. The MIN_VALID_VERSION keeps changing even though there is no change
in that table. Looks like the MIN_VALID_VERSION is a global number and not specific to a table. Is there a problem with the way we are getting the @Next_Version. Can we use the CHANGE_TRACKING_CURRENT_VERSION even though we want to download subset of data
from the table (only records matching for one data_source_key at a time). Appreciate your answers.
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[PDW_GetSiteDVAudit](@DataSourceKey AS INT,@LastVersionID AS BIGINT, @NextVersionID AS BIGINT OUTPUT)
AS
BEGIN TRY
BEGIN TRANSACTION
BEGIN
DECLARE @MinVersionID bigint = 0, @max_version bigint = 0;
SELECT @NextVersionID = 0;
SET @MinVersionID = CHANGE_TRACKING_MIN_VALID_VERSION(OBJECT_ID('dbo.SiteDVAudit'));
IF (@LastVersionID < @MinVersionID)
BEGIN
SELECT @NextVersionID = isnull(MAX(SYS_CHANGE_VERSION),@MinVersionID) from CHANGETABLE(CHANGES SiteDVAudit , NULL) CT where DataSource_Key = @DataSourceKey
SELECT
s.Id,
Site_Id ,
SiteDesc,
Deleted,
Local_Id,
s.DataSource_Key,
Data_Task_Id
FROM
dbo.SiteDVAudit s
WHERE
s.DataSource_Key = @DataSourceKey
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SELECT @NextVersionID = isnull(MAX(SYS_CHANGE_VERSION),@LastVersionID) from CHANGETABLE(CHANGES SiteDVAudit , @LastVersionID) CT where DataSource_Key = @DataSourceKey
SELECT
s.Id,
Site_Id ,
SiteDesc,
Deleted,
Local_Id,
s.DataSource_Key,
Data_Task_Id
FROM
dbo.SiteDVAudit s
RIGHT OUTER JOIN
CHANGETABLE(CHANGES SiteDVAudit, @LastVersionID) CT
ON s.Id = CT.Id AND
s.DataSource_Key = CT.DataSource_Key
WHERE
s.DataSource_Key = @DataSourceKey
END
END
COMMIT TRANSACTION
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH
ROLLBACK TRANSACTION
RETURN -1
END CATCH

My first observation is that you don't reraise the error in the CATCH handler. That is bad, because it makes the proceedure fail silently which may be very difficult to troubleshoot.
The version numbers for Change Tracking are indeed database-global. MIN_VALID_VERSION can be different for different tables, if they have different retention periods. But if they all have the same retention period, it seems likely that MIN_VALID_VERSION
would increase as the database moves on.
I'm not sure about your question Can we use the CHANGE_TRACKING_CURRENT_VERSION even though we want to download subset of data from the table (only records matching for one data_source_key at a time). Where would you use it? How would you use
it?

Audigy 4 - Microphone Recording is

Hello everyone. I recently purchased and installed an Audigy 4 Pro. It is an awesome card, and everything is outstanding except for one major issue. As many of you know, the product comes with the 'Creative sound mixer'. In that mixer, on the extreme right, there is the recording option. It should be set to 'Line in /Mic'. When it is, the microphone works fine.
However, that option frequently changes itself on its own to either 'wave' or 'line 3'. When this happens, it is essentially as if my microphone was muted. It does this completely on its own. I have updated all drivers, all applicatoins, read the FAQ thread, and sent Creative an e-mail. I have yet to hear anything from creative that solves my problem or lets me know something I was not informed about prior.
Does anyone have any thoughts/suggestions as to how I can get this resolved? Thank you to anyone in advance willing to assist.

Applications can change the recording source by themselves. Some games which expect the microphone to be plugged into the first microphone jack on the card will by default change the recording source to vanilla "mic."
There's currently no way to lock the recording source at the moment.

QuickTime Pro error: format of source media changed

I keep getting this error message:

Media of different formats cannot be recorded to the same file.
I'm importing video clips from a video camera via firewire. I do this all the time and never had problems until today. I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard about a month ago, but it was working fine up until today. Can anyone shed light on what this means and how to fix it?
Thank you.

MSI VOX Audio default settings keep changing on startup

I've had this VOX tuner for about a year and a half and I've used it on 2000, XP SP1, SP2, etc...and I've fought with it every single time I reconfigure the O/S. I am a computer support professional - I know a couple of things about drivers, registry file, etc...and I STILL can't get this thing to work consistently!
Anyway, when I install the drivers and MSIPVS software, it always selects the MIDI synth input instead of Line In as the default audio input setting. I reconfigure MSIPVS and tell it to use Line In instead - everything works fine. Then I exit and restart MSIPVS - it goes back to MIDI and I have to reconfigure the audio to use Line In every single time I run the software. Of course, that means the recording doesn't work - because as soon as I click on record, it sets the audio default back to MIDI synth again. I've used two different audio cards with this and they all do the same thing (SoundBlaster Live! value and a SoundBlaster Audigy 2). I've used several different motherboards - I've completely replaced all components in my computer several times and I always have this same problem.
I've got an internal MSI TV tuner card on another machine running this same software - it has the same problem. It won't exit half the time (the window closes but you can still hear the audio running until you restart the computer).
The hardware seems fine, but the software is unbearably poor! I'd drop the software in a second if I could find something else that works better.
The weird thing is that in uninstalling, reinstalling, cleaning out the registry, fiddling endlessly -once in a while I can actually get it to work, but I have no idea what I've done to make this work twice in a row. I've reinstalled the software dozens of times now, reinstalled Windows...I don't know what else to try.
Obviously, I've upgraded all audio and video drivers - none of that makes any difference.
If I open the SoundBlaster mixer program, as I start the MSIPVS program, I can see the MIDI and Line In channels get muted and un-muted but by the time the software loads, it's defaulted back to MIDI Synth again.
Anybody have ANY ideas? I'm desperate to try anythig now. I'm considering throwing the whole thing out and getting an ATI tuner or something completely different - as long as it doesn't use this Intervideo software...
Thanks.
Oh yeah...one more thing I've noticed is that the WinCinema Manager causes all kinds of problems - if this program is running, the channel keeps changing to 1, 11, or 111 - it seems to be sending some kind of remote control signals to change the channels so I've had to disable this program - then the channels seem to work fine (but maybe it's causing my audio problems...?)

Very Strange - Mixer Record Source Setting Will Not Save - defaults to Microphone volum

This issue has me stumped.. I've even tried a clean boot of XP.
Firstly, I am using X-Fi Platinum, on XP, ASUS board
The problem is that both in Control Panel and in Creative Mixer, any changes made to the recording source will not save. In other words, when I close down the Mixer and re-open, the default source is Microphone with volume 0. Even if all I do is increase the microphone volume, when I close that window down, it becomes volume 0 again. When I try the approach through Control Panel it is the same result. The microphone is not "mute" but the volume slider is all the way down to minimum, so its the same result. Also, if I change the recording source to "What You Hear" or "Mic 2" , as soon as I close down the mixer window, it is back to Microphone volume 0
The strange thing is, I formatted my hard dri've and re-installed XP, and still I'm having the same problem.
Thanks in advance for your help..

I finally discovered the problem. It is the BlueBeat player that was responsible.
Here is an exerpt from a press release:
"Bluebeat.com uses MRT?s X SeCure technology which makes it next to impossible for an average user to save, record, convert or otherwise ?transcode? the audio streams on the Bluebeat.com"
But the problem is that it effects the OS at such a low level that doing a "clean boot" still does not fix the issue.
Keep in mind, that the BlueBeat player wasn't even running when it caused these issues. Fortunately, when I uninstalled BlueBeat, everything works fine again.
Moral of the story? If you have X-Fi, avoid BlueBeat.com, because you will lose all ability to record, even when not running their player. I hope this helps some people out there.

How do I get my old Surround Mixer recording sources back?

I recently had my computer repaired where I basically had a complete overhaul. In the process they installed a second soundcard (the one that went with the new motherboard) alongside my original Creative Sound Blaster Audigy card (Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum eX). Before, when I would record audio into my computer, I opened the Surround Mixer software and in the record pulldown menu it showed all of the inputs as they relate to my Audigy interface (SPDIF, Aux In 2, Line In 2, etc.). Now when I open the Surround Mixer software, I only get generic options such as Analog Mix, CD Digital, Microphone, etc. and therefore I can't get any outside audio into my computer.
I figured the computer?was defaulting to the?new sound card so I disabled the onboard audio in my BIOS and then installed the Creative Sound Blaster Series 2 Driver. I clicked on the driver and it said that it needed to uninstall another driver that was already there. The install went a little funny and it got hung up a couple of times. Then, I couldn't get Surround Mixer to work at all so I went to the Creative website and installed Software Auto Update. I downloaded and installed all the critical components?but that also went a little funny. It took about three tries and it didn't seem like it actually finished installing, but when I checked on Auto Update again, it said that I was up to date and that everything had installed. I noticed at the beginning that it installed a new version of Surround Mixer but when I opened it later, it still had those same generic options, not the the ones that match my external interface.
What do I need to do to get my original settings back?

>Re: How do I get my old Surround Mixer recording sources back?p audiodrome,
Is the external Audigy Dri've properly connected? Does the Plat Ex have the rear jacks? If so, can you record from the rear LineIn or mic jack and play sound files through headphones or speakers? What happens when you run the Creative Diagnostic? What does Device Manager show? Otherwise, yes, uninstall and reinstall the Creative software. If your install CD has a repair option, try that first. However, you may find you need to remove the Audigy from your PC, reboot without it, and then reinstall everything. Some Soundblaster cards don't play well with some integrated soundcards, so you may also want to disable the integrated soundcard in BIOS.

How to transport FM retraction configuration if source-system changes?

Hi experts,
I have configured FM retraction in ERP through SPRO connecting it to my Dev source system in my Dev ERP. What do I need to do to transport this configuration to my production ERP and make sure the BI source-system changes from Dev to Prod as well? Is there some kind of souce-system mapping as there is in the BI side for the extraction?
For example, I have everything set-up for source-system BWD and I want it to change to BWP when I transport the configuration from ERP dev to ERP prod.
Thanks

Hi Christian,
Thanks for your reply, but I didn't get anywhere in OKE7 & OKE8 to include the credit records I made in KSAZ in a Transport.
Can you elaborate it more.

ORAROW_SCN keeps changing unexpectedly

Hello
I am facing a strange behaviour for the ORAROW_SCN.
This is the scenario:
1. We created a copy of a database using datapump to a new Exadata box.
2. After creating the copy, we query the database for the latest ORAROW_SCN (We rely on this number to load data into a DW)
3. Latest ORAROW_SCN for every table in the new database keeps changing, even when not DMLs are being executed in the database.
So, lets say I have the "customers" table with 7,817,414 records
If I execute the following query:
select ora_rowscn, scn_to_timestamp(ora_rowscn), count(*)
from customers
group by ora_rowscn, scn_to_timestamp(ora_rowscn)
order by 1 DESC
The latest ORAROW_SCN keeps changing, like this: (Every line is the result of executing the query after a few minutes)
ora_rowscn scn_to_timestamp count
========================================
24526487045 10/12/2012 12:00:56.000000000 PM 7,586,482
24543886062 10/12/2012 4:00:06.000000000 PM 7,586,482
24543886064 10/12/2012 4:00:06.000000000 PM 7,586,482
It happens for every table in the new database.
So, if we are not updating or inserting rows, what else could be happening that is making the ORAROW_SCN to change continually?
Thanks,
Andrew

Hi,
Same day when you posted this question, i created a table for test in my 11.2 express edition database and after 3 days, I don't see any change ORA_ROWSCN
select ora_rowscn, scn_to_timestamp(ora_rowscn), count(*)
from test
group by ora_rowscn, scn_to_timestamp(ora_rowscn)
order by 1 DESC
ORA_ROWSCN SCN_TO_TIMESTAMP(ORA_ROWSCN)                                                  COUNT(*)
