Audio from headphones gets distorted when switched to "entertainment mode" w

the sound quality from my headphones gets messed up whenever I switch to "entertainment mode." when i say "messed up," i mean the volume would constantly fluctuate from really high to just noise then high again.
however, when i switch it to "game mode" all the problems disappear.
why are my headphones (sennheiser pc50) not compatible with "entertainment mode?"
i have a creative x-fi xtrememusic card.

I had a similar problem using X-Fi Fatalty. By similar I mean everything worked until switching to entertainment mode. When in entertainment mode all audio had a horrible amount of loud static and noise riding on it. This wasn't limited to headphones though as the same occurred using my 2. speaker system. I was using the latest driver, from June of '06 I believe.
I rolled back to the driver on my install CD (version 5.2.2.43 dated 8/8/2005)and it solved the issue.

  • How to prevent video playback from getting paused when switching to another tab on Firefox for Android?

    In Firefox for Android 27.0, if you play video in one tab and while it's playing you switch to another tab, the video gets paused. I want the video to continue to play while I'm viewing another tab (so I can at least hear its sound!).
    How can I do that?
    How can I prevent Firefox for Android from pausing video playback when switching to another tab?
    Thank you very much.

    Hi hamid_ss,
    Currently Firefox for Android does this by default with embedded players. Some sites go automatically to full screen too which may be what you are running into. Try it.

  • Chart Features get Distorted when converting a Powerpoint to PDF

    When converting a powerpoint file to PDF using Adobe createPDF online, chart titles and axis that were properly formatted in powerpoint get distorted when the file is converted to pdf.  Specifically, the chart titles get moved over / cut off and scales on the axis disappear. The charts, however, are pictures, and were not created in a microsoft program.  Any idea why this is happening or how to fix it?
    Thanks

    That an image of a chart was exported is indicative of the "chart" object in the PDF being an image.
    And, that is consistent with what must times, for most PPT "chart" input is -- graphic objects -- which, when sent out to PDF don't change from that (how would they eh?).
    Result - an image / graphic object in the PDF.
    To get the 'dynamic' chart that updates in Powerpoint when the data for the chart is changed you'd re-master in an appropriate application and OLE it into the Powerpoint file.
    But that's the good stuff of Microsoft and discussed over in MS web space.
    Be well...

    Yes.  They don't make any sense to me either.  Are we supposed to be looking at a blank dark gray rectangle, or has the upload process failed the OP ?

    Hi,
    Solutions given by Kevin and Zaibiman is not applicable for my form as the radio button will be in data base block only.This is the requirement of the form.
    The other solution given by Zaibiman was to set the radio button item when entered in query mode , i have tried that but that is also not working.

  • Distorted audio from headphone socket after iOS 5 update!

    Hi,
    I have an iPad2, and just yesterday updated my iOS to version 5.1.
    Everything went fine until I checked some audio via my headphone socket this morning. It was grossly overdistorted. I used another pair of headphones and the same thing happened, it either didn't work or cut out, or was grossly distorted. I then checked each headphones and found they worked well on my iPhone.
    So is this a problem with the software or my iPad? Anyone have an idea? I don't want to pay for repair if this is an update issue.
    Thanks
    M

    Thank you for that suggestion, but it didn't work. I still get distorted, broken up audio.
    Any other suggestions?
    Thanks,

  • 10.9.4 upgrade - Audio from headphone jack overdriven

    I have a 24-inch, Early 2009 iMac. 3.06 Core 2 Duo.
    Using it as a projection computer at my church, running iTunes and ProPresenter 5.
    After upgrading to 10.9.4 last week, the audio coming out of the headphone jack is distorting really badly at about the 1-1.5khz range. I have to turn the system audio down well below half to get the signal to to come through weakly enough to not sound overdriven. I first discovered this problem in iTunes, but it is doing the same thing for any media (Spotify, ProPresenter, Quicktime, Youtube through a browser, etc.). I know way more about sound systems than I do about computers, but it sounds to me like the system is telling the preamp in the headphone jack to run at way higher gain than it can safely put out. The audio from this jack isn't any louder than it was with the previous OS, just distorted now.
    After reading some other forum posts about audio ceasing to work after the upgrade, I downloaded the 10.9.4 combo install from Apple.com and reinstalled it that way. Before that I tried a recovery install. No luck either way.
    Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?
    Thanks!

    Hi Jordan PH ,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I know how frustrating sound issues can be. One troubleshooting step I would definitely recommend in this situation would be to reset the NVRAM / PRAM. Please use the following article as a reference and let me know if the issue continues after the reset.

  • No audio from headphones

    I recently purchased 2 new latitude E6440 laptops with Windows 7. The speakers work well but when I plug in headphones the sound still comes from the speakers and the not the headphones. Any help on how can I fix this?

    Hi chiedzacpg,
    Do you have another pair of external headphones/earphones/speakers to test with? Does the said headphones work fine on another device? Could you open Dell Audio from control panel and check if the headphones are detected under the advanced tab -> jack info - see the pic
    If it doesn't show up here, then open mydell -> pccheckup -> custom test -> run a custom test on the headphones/speakers. Also restart the system, press f12 -> select diags and check if the headphones have audio while in diags.
    Go to support.dell.com - http://bitly.com/WBoajG - enter the service tag -> select drivers and downloads -> run the BIOS update and reinstall the audio drivers and check.
    Keep us updated.
    Thanks and Regards,

  • Illustrator Files get Distorted when Distilled into PDFs

    I haven't been able to find anything like this in the discussions so I will start one. The production folks are using CS3 on Leopard Macs. I am using Tiger and can still reproduce the problem, so I don't think it is the OS.
    Here's what happens:
    Certain .ai files placed in InDesign become distorted when the user makes a PDF either by using Acrobat Distiller or through our DALiM TWiST server. The distortion does not happen if they export to PDF, but they cannot do that since they must use the TWiST system to preflight their files and create the PDFs. The problem is likely related to the postscript stage of both of these methods of making PDFs. It does not happen to all .ai files that we use. Just some of them. It seems to be random, but with newer (CS3-created) Illustrator files as opposed to CS2 or earlier files. The current workaround is to just save the files as Illustrator eps and then they have no problem, but we are trying to get away from always using eps files.
    Has anyone ever had anything like this happen?
    Thanks,
    Laura K.

    Wow, you guys are great. Very helpful. The users who have reported this issue have already discovered the workaround of embedding the problem files. That does work. Their problem is that they don't know ahead of time which .ai files will do this. I suppose they could just embed all .ai files as they use them, but one user reports that the embedded files don't "stay" embedded. They use a droplet that was created for them where they just drop a job to be printed onto it and it will go through the TWiST workflow. It is a highly customized workflow, and we plan to have the engineer come back in and do some tweaking eventually. I think there is something in the droplet that can be altered so embedded .ai files will stay embedded. I suspect that is probably easy if you know what you are doing. :-)
    But, meanwhile I was just wondering if there was maybe something we could do at the .ai file creation end to prevent the distortion from happening int he first place. The bad part is that it does not happen to all .ai files in our library, just a few of them. The same user reported a couple of years ago when we switched to InDesign that she had problems with .pdf files placed into InDesign printing properly and I think this is related to that.
    Here are a couple of screenshots to illustrate what happens as far as the distortion. I have used one of our company's logo files that has been exhibiting the behavior as the example. The first screenshot (InDesignLogos) just shows the logo placed in an InDesign file as it should look. The bottom one has been embedded. The second screenshot (PDFLogos) shows the resulting PDF that was created using DALiM TWiST. Keep in mind that we also get the same result if we make a PDF using Acrobat Distiller. This is why I think it is something happening in the postscript file. I wish we could just export the PDF from InDesign because that takes care of the problem, but it is not an option with the TWiST workflow. The Illustrator file says it was created on Oct 26, 2009, saved as v.13 Created by v.13.02, if that helps.
    Thanks for all of your help and good suggestions so far!

  • K7N2G-L no cd audio from headphone jack

    Can someone please help me I have a K7N2G-L motherboard and I cant get it to play music cds through the cd roms headphone jack. When I play a music cd it plays through the external speakers but does not play in the cd roms headphone jack. This is a motherboard problem because when I replace the onboard sound with a separate sound card it plays like this. I would like to use the onboard sound any suggestions ive tried.
    -swapping the cd rom the cd data and cd audio cables (they are in the right way)
    -updated the audio drivers to nvida latest
    -upgrading the bios
    -gone through all the windows xp audio controls.
    The only thing I can think of to do next is to rebuild the system as 98 to rule out a any possible software cause

    if you use xp music cd are played by drawing the sound from the ide cable and not the sound cable.
    its digital and analog playback.
    what you need is analog playback
    somewhere in window is a box you need to tick.
    i dont know right now where it is but if i find it i will post it

  • Graphic distortion when switching between external and built-in display (rMBP)

    Recently (within the past two weeks or so) I've noticed a strange issue when switching between my external display (Thunderbolt) and my built-in display on my 15" rMBP. The following issue seems to be specific to Photoshop CS6.
    Typically, I'll have a PS document open on my external display and I'll wind up taking my to another location. If I close the PS document while on my built-in and then re-open it, I get all kinds of distortion and pixellation. Closing out PS and reopining, restarting, logging on/off; none of it seems to work. It seems like the issue is with the PSD itself, but it doesn't make any sense to me. Any ideas? Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/iCipSc7.jpg

    Do you have intel gpy as well as other graphic card?  You may be viewing document on different gpu's.  PS does not like multiple gpu's.
