Audigy 4 mic having problems in Vista

Ok, so I have Vista Ultimate 64 bit addtion and an Audigy 4 sound card. The sound sounds great but my mic is very wishy washy when using the card. I downloaded their latest drivers and have even resulted to other types of drivers but no matter what it has the same problem or the problem is only improved slightly. Basically, when I first start the PC the mic usually doesn't work, but then randomly out of no where it will start working after awhile, but the thing is is that it will either work or it will be EXTREMELY crackily, however, even if it does work it eventually just ends up not working anyway. So basically it is really crackily and annoying or doesn't work half the time. Any help would be much appreciated.

Are you running some version of Office 2003 or 2007? On some machines no matter what operating system, certain versions of Office turn on the microphone because of an "invisible always running tray applet". A friend of mine bought a Dell laptop in 2003 that was brand new. After a few days, random gibberish would pop up on his screen in every place you could type text. We then determined that Dell's default setup always had voice recognition software always calibrating itself. Some Dell laptops even had Dragon Naturally Speaking on them with the bundle and that program was fighting with the MS Office voice/systray applet.

Flex 3 App having problems with Vista/Flash10

Hello Forum Folks,
I have a small little wizard/form app in Flex 3.0 that runs wonderfully in Flash 9 on a Windows XP box. However, when I try to run it on a Vista/Flash 10 box, the VBox that contains the wizard is a blank screen. I get the blank screen only when I return to the wizard from being in it previously (while staying inside the Flex app). I can see that the wizard code is pulling data from my server with no problem when the blank screen occurs. However, the browser (I'm using Firefox 3.0.1) states that it is still downloading data from my server. Using HttpFox I can see that all requests to server are answered with an HTTP 200 (OK) response, so I don't think it's the server/client communication....
Anyone run into this before? Any idea on how to force the VBox to display or refresh? I've tried invalidateDisplayList - but no positive results.
Thanks in advance,
--Andy

Not really a solution but a work-around for the problem: When I revisist the wizard, I made the handle holding the wizard equal to null, then created a new wizard and re-attached it as a child:
this.wizardHandle = null;
this.wizardHandle = new WizardApp();
this.addChild(this.WizardHandle);
This kept the blank screen from appearing... which is good, but doesn't fix the underlying problem... whatever that happen to be. So if anyone still has a guess I would be glad to hear it.
Thanks,
Andy

I am having problem with me Iphone4, looks like the mic of my phone is not working. no one can hear me if I make a call to them

Can any one please help me I am having problem with me Iphone4, looks like the mic of my phone is not working. no one can hear me if I make a call to them. I have tried all restoring options but no use. please help me

The mic on my iPhone4 has just quit also. Similar symptoms to yours in that people I'm talking to hear only static or my voice very faintly. The voice/memo recorder also only really records static.
It happened suddenly and seemed to get better after a day or two but then went completely after another day.
I'm returning it to Vodafone New Zealand shortly but will have to wait 5-10 days for a replacement. There are NO Apple accredited means to speed this procedure up in NZ.
We don't even have a single physical Apple Store where you could walk in and talk to a Genius.

Just purchased Wndows Vista and having problems with the port for Palm 125

I just purchased a Windows Vista computer and having problems with getting my Palm 125 to sync with the desktop. I get an error message saying: "Com1 not available" What do I do?
Thanks,
Frustrated

Sorry, that didn't work. I get no drop down menu from the Hot Sync Manager for the Serial Port. What comes up often is: "The selected port, COM1, is not available at this time. Hot Sync Manager will open the port when it becomes available."
Could it be the Norton Antivirus Firewall that is preventing the Hot Sync Manager to open the Serial Port? Just a thought. Thanks for your help.

My apologies about not explaining further about disabling SPDIF passthrough. See the steps below to enable DDL encoding.
***Before proceeding please make sure that you've purchased, installed and activated the DDL pack***
. Open Creative Audio Console, go to the Decoder tab to disable driver level encoding and enable SPDIF passthrough (this is done by selecting SPDIF passthrough or any similar option that enable the use of an external decoder) instead of using the built-in decoders.
2. Open up your playback devices window (right click on the speaker icon on the taskbar and select playback devices) and set analog speakers (not SPDIF) as your default device. This is VERY IMPORTANT step, or else you get the "the device is busy" error when enbaling DDL encoding.
3. In the Audio Console, select the Encoder tab and enable DLL encoding.
Note:
When DDL encoding is enabled, it makes exclusi've use of your SPDIF connection so, no passthrough is possible. The default output format when using DDL encoding is 48KHz/6 bits. If you make use of any AC3 audio filters (such as ac3filter/others included in codec packs/media player softwares) when DLL encoding is enabled, then please change their output device to analog speakers instead of SPDIF.
To use back SPDIF passthrough (when playing back media with a pre-encoded audio source), open up Audio Console and disable DDL encoding and in the Playback Devices window change the default device to SPDIF. If you make use of any AC3 audio filters (such as ac3filter/others included in codec packs/media player softwares) then please change their output device back to SPDIF. You may also wish to change back your output format to 92KHz/24 bits (right click on SPDIF and select properties -> Advanced tab).

TS1717 Having problems lauching iTunes on my pc, dowloaded new version, getting error message that iTunes is not installed correctly or corrupted, reinstall. I'm afraid I will loose everything,tried to back up to earlier date,system diognosis said incompa

Having problems launching iTunes on my pc. Had iTunes on this particular pc for over a year. Have downloaded all of the new updated versions. Now I get an error message saying "This copy of iTunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly. Please reinstall." I have backed up the pc to an earlier date when when the program was working, and also performed serveral system diagnosis all saying the program is incompatible. Searched for several compatible programs, none worked. All this happened several days after visiting iTunes. I'm afraid that if I reinstall iTunes that I will loose everything and have to start all over. Eventhough everything is saved in an iCloud account and this particular pc. Never had a problem till now. Appreciate any help. Thank you, cld

Let's try a repair install of iTunes first.
Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
Can you launch your iTunes now?

I am having problems updating my itunes to the latest version, on each stage I am getting a message 'The feature you are trying to use in on a network resource that is unavailable.' I try to click OK it fails and I do not know an alternate path to select, please help?
I get message like below on each stage of the update, Quicktime, Safari & iTunes;
It's so annoying as until I update my iTunes account my phone won't sync.

Many thanks for the screenshot. (The key to these is knowing which particular .msi file is being mentioned by the message.)
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
(Assuming that the QuickTime and Safari messages were also citing bonjour64.msi, you should also then be good to go with those installs too.)

Tx2500 Problems in Vista

Recently I've been having problems with my tx2500 notebook. The Touch-Screen stopped accepting input from my fingers but still worked with the pen/stylus. I tried updating the drivers but then it stopped working with the pen too
Its a Vista-64 Bit installation. Would upgrading to Windows 7 help? I heard they had problems when upgrading and maybe a backend solution for that could fix my current one should I upgrade. I've tried Wacom.
Most recent error message was that the Tablet Driver couldn't be found. Any ideas?

Proxie_dk,
Also,
You might want to make sure that you have done the following to try and help resolve or workaround the problem more:
Make sure you have set the correct timinns and voltages for Mushkin memory in BIOS, more information at Mushkin website under support.
Make sure you have the latest version of the BIOS for your motherboard, as several manufacturers did release updates for the problems with NVIDIA and Creative compatability. Look at support section on the XFX support site.
Make sure you are using the latest motherboard chipset drivers available from NVIDIA. 5.25 is the latest, and the international package is here.
Make sure you are using the latest graphics drivers available from NVIDIA. 86.8 is the latest, and the international package is here.
Also, perhaps not as important as the above, make sure you have the latest Windows Updates installed using Microsoft Update.
