Bad USB mic quality with Vista and 4GB *F

Finally. After spending many, many nights up until the AM searching and troubleshooting I've finally found a solution to my problem. The problem being awful mic quality on my Vista 64, 4GB machine with my Logictech USB mic. The solution has come in an untested hotfix from Microsoft which I found by accident while checking some nerd forum.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933433/en-us
You need to request the fix from Microsoft and they'll email you a link to download it with a password.
I now sound crystal clear on vent and I'm over the moon. I hope this will help others too.

hmm

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).

I have a toshiba lap top computer with vista and I can not get my new iphone to connect all the way .... it says "connected with limited activity". which means I don't get on. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi all,
Guess I understand what is going on as I'm also experiencing the problem.
Basically the issue is about the iPhone 4's personal hotspot.
I'm trying to hook on personal hotspot to my toshiba laptop but it couldnt work as the connection is limited to local only without Internet access.
The hotspot works well on other laptop and I-devices, but not my toshiba...
Hope to get assistance here. Thanks

Bad video quality with AMS and Citrix

Some clients connects to our network with vpn Citrix and get the screen presentet from Citrix.
The video quality is bad, choppy and sound out of sync.
Is it possible to set a specific quality for clients connecting with Citrix in AMS?
Do you have a best practice when using Citrix.

Hi Drago
It is very bad situation. Toshiba with every notebook must offer functioning product and because of that offer tested drivers. Those drivers are adapted for each notebook model and also have protecting function. That means the graphic card will not be forced to run on the highest level.
As you can see with original driver you have problems playing some games. For me it is nothing unusual for mobile computers. Problem is that every modified driver is not supported and tested by notebook manufacturer. I recommend you to use tested Toshiba driver. At the end maybe you must make compromise between gaming and watching movies.
By the way: are original DVD movies also so bad while you use preinstalled WinDVD?

Error message with Vista and 7.2: Windows-No Disk Exception Processing Mess

I just got a new Dell computer with Windows Vista and I am trying to put iTunes on it. I can install it fine from the original CD, and then I am prompted to update it to 7.2. After updating, this is the message that I get: Windows-No Disk, Exception Processing Message 0xc0000013 Parameters 0x7620023C 0c847CDB4C 0x7620023C (Cancel Try Again Continue). If I click on any button countless times, iTunes does open up but then I get the blue screen dump message. I have installed and uninstalled it many different times and have tried any of the additional updates/patches with no effect. I did not see this message anywhere else in the forum, anyone able to help?

Unexplained Crashes, lock-ups, Failure to boot and boot-looping in Vista and XP and MAC OS-X.
Have a USB2 external hard drive hooked up to your system? A number of these devices are starting to show up as the cause of the problems listed above. The cause has been linked to drives that were manufactured a year or more ago. Note I said manufactured not purchased. The cause is poor USB 2.0 specifications that the drive case manufactures followed which has deteriorated with age causing the above failures. If this happens to you try disconnecting your external drive and see if your problem goes away. A couple of multifunction printers have also been the cause of similar problems but most of these have higher visibility on internet search engines than the external hard drives.
Sorry, no KB article link. The above is from my reseller, who deals in imaging workstations exclusively.

Trouble with Vista and Bluetooth

I'm having an issue with Vista SP2 and Bluetooth. I have Vista Home Premium SP2 running under Boot Camp on a MacBook Pro, and I have an Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse and Apple Wireless Keyboard I need to pair with Windows. I followed the instructions listed in the Boot Camp manual, but Vista won't let me create my own passkey, it just "pairs" the devices for me. When I close the window, the devices do not show up, nor do they function. I called AppleCare support, and have talked with all of who could help me, and they have determined this is an issue with Windows and that I need help from Microsoft. They said I have to enter my own passkey to get it to work, and they do not know why I can't. They're thinking it has something to do with a Windows Update.
Just wondering what can I do to get these paired up and working. I really need these to work since my MacBook Pro is on a notebook riser and it's awkward to raise up and type and click in such an uncomfortable position.
Thanks!
Nathan

I cannot get the apple wireless keyboard to work with my Mac Pro (Feb-2008 model) under bootcamp and Vista Home Premium 64. I had to upgrade from 10.5.1 in order to use Final Cut Studio 3, so I downloaded and installed OSX 10.5.8 update. Then I ran bootcamp and installed Vista 64. Afterwards, in Vista I inserted the original OSX 10.5.1 DVD and installed the drivers so Vista would recognize the apple hardware.
I went to pair the wireless mighty mouse and apple keyboard and the instructions say to enter 0000 for the mouse, and enter an 8 digit or larger number for the keyboard. Since the keyboard doesn't work, I couldn't enter anything so I let the system choose a number for the keyboard and let the mouse go without a number. Both show they are connected but only the mouse works. I also tried letting the system generate a number for both but only the mouse works. I tried turning off the mouse but then the system doesn't detect the keyboard at all. For that matter, I don't even like the mighty mouse anyway and prefer to use the mouse with my Wacom tablet so I could do without the mighty mouse if that would somehow help.
Is there a known issue with 10.5.8 and bluetooth under windows vista 64? What should I do? I must have Vista 64 in order to utilize 3ds Max 2010 and I must have a keyboard to use 3ds Max. Is there a driver I can download to make it work or do I need to buy a generic USB keyboard?
Thanks in advace for any help with this. I am looking forward to finally getting this Mac all set up.

Synced once with Vista and now is apparently hosed

I installed iTunes on my new Vista PC and loaded all my music. I then synced my 60 GB iPod and it worked fine. Now when I connect my iPod iTunes tells me my iPod needs to be restored. So then I go through the steps and it tells me my iPod needs be restored.
I've tried different USB ports but I continue to get the "needs to be restored" message.

Usually when an app. hangs, it means that the database is corrupted but if it syncs ok on Vista it may indicate that the database on the XP may be corrupted. Can you open Palm desktop on the XP PC with no problem?
If you sync with Vista with no problem, try changing the conduits on the XP PC to handheld overwrites desktop and then sync to see if it hangs on calendar.

TP T60 with VISTA and dock doesn't work with DVI

Hi, at the first excuse my English.
I am beginner ]:->
I have Lenovo T60 with vista. I have advance dock from lenovo. DVI on dock doesn't work correctly. External display is distort, noisy.
After start of Vista is all right. But when I use blank white page monitor switch off and on in a circle. Monitor is in good order. Advence is in good order. (I change it 3 times).
Thank you for help or inspiration how to find a solution.

ok, i think i understand you now. you have an advance dock with a third-party PCI graphics card and can't get it to work under vista. my best recommendation is to try different drivers. i am not 100% positive but your PCI card might have to have the same GPU as your T61 to be compatible. perhaps someone else with more experience on this can help.

Bought Computer with Vista and received a free Windows 7 upgrade - can I download Windows 7?

I purchased my computer with Windows Vista and was able to get a free upgrade of Windows 7. I've scanned my computer for viruses on Microsoft and they find no viruses. My anti-virus program has scanned the computer and has found nothing.
Yesterday I was trying to install a program and that's when my anti-virus program told me there was a threat. It removed it and I kept on with the installation. After that my Internet Explorer doesn't work and when I go to "Uninstall
Programs" it only shows that I have just Microsoft programs, everything under "M" and nothing else. I've tried to restore my computer and every time after a restore it gives me an error code 0x80070005. I've turned off anti-virus
and restored and have even restored in Safe Mode but still get the same error message. Does anyone know what I can do to get this straightened out??

Hi,
What is the anti-virus program you have on your computer? Please take a try to uninstall the 3rd party anti-virus program and then perform the system restore under
system recovery options.
Some 3rd-party anti-virus program might not be incompatible with Windows processes.
Here is a similar threads for reference:
error code 0X80070005

Solution for CD DVD Matshita driver or other with Vista and itunes

Hi all,
I searched the answers everywhere, all around the websites. The problem was always there. If I didn't have the error message in itunes my dvd-cd driver was wrong and if I change the parameters in registry, my dvd-cd driver worked correctly in windows but not in itunes. I have a Matshita cd drive and Vista.
After 8 months, I found the solution yesterday. I did the changes and WOW all is OK now. Believe me, this is THE SOLUTION and I'm very happy.
You must do the changes the registy with regedit (see other answers for the upperfilters in registry) but after this change it is VERY IMPORTANT that you follow this ...
Go to this website and follow the instructions for the file AFS driver or read the complete solution.
http://www.gearsoftware.com/wiki/index.php?title=CD/DVDdrives_disappear_after_installingiTunes
Here the complete explanation:
Summary:
After installing a GEAR Software or a GEARWorks GEAR Powered Product (such as Apple iTunes and Norton Ghost) on Vista, the CD/DVD drives disappear in Windows Explorer and the installed software is unable to detect any CD/DVD drives on the system.
Discussion:
After investigating this issue, we have determined that the issue is being caused by the presence of the Audio File System (AFS) driver from Oak Technologies.
The AFS driver adds CD recording functionality to certain versions of the following software:
* HP Memories Disc Creator
* Liquid Audio
* Portal Player
* Oak Technology SimpliCD
* Broderbund's Print Shop version 20
It appears that the AFS driver does not meet Windows Vista driver signing requirements and thus is not compatible with Vista. As a result, the AFS driver prevents the GEARAspiWDM.sys driver from functioning correctly resulting in CD/DVD drives ‘disappearing’ in Windows Explorer and applications using the GEARworks API, such as Apple iTunes and Norton Ghost.
Solution:
Disabling the AFS driver appears to resolve the issue.
This can be done by renaming the afs.sys driver file in the C:\Windows\System32\Drivers directory to afs.txt and rebooting the system. After the reboot the CD/DVD drives should re-appear in Windows Explorer and be available in GEAR and GEARworks powered product (such as Apple iTunes and Norton Ghost).
Note that disabling the AFS driver may result in the loss of the CD recording functionality in the above mentioned software that uses the AFS driver.

Are you able to even edit the registry key? The problem I had -- and many others, I've learned -- is that for some reason iTunes and/or QT locks down certain critical registry keys. So even if I'm logged on as an admin I can't change them.
I posted a possible solution -- at least it worked for me:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1358116
Good luck!

Many problems with Vista and Itunes--slowing and crashing

Okay, so itunes has never worked right on my computer. I have a Comaq Persario V6000 with the Centrino duo. These are some of the problems I have with Itunes:
1. will not play initially on start up. I need to close itunes, open it again and then sometimes it plays.
2. Sometime itunes never opens, no matter how many times I click on the icon.
3. Runs very slowly at times. Might take 30 seconds for a rating to appear after I've clicked on it.
4. Crashes completely.
I've tried reinstalling itunes numerous times to no avail. I'm also using the newest itunes version. Every other program works fine on my computer, except itunes. Any help is appreciated. I'm at my wits end. I love my ipod but I hate itunes.

Hmmm. Looked around and tried all the tips and tricks. Nothing works basically. Even took the PC to pieces and plugged in my old graphics card (totally different make and drivers etc). No success. Mucked around with the memory, BIOS setup etc. Even read people in the same boat having no success reinstalling XP! Grief... Luckily I have a laptop to use for the iPod. Bit of a pain (should get a second cable really), but should work, esp with my portable 300gb drive. Annoying, buy hey....
Oh, and I got the superman returns mp4 to play in a window from the website. After watching it through the windows player I selected the QuickTime version of the movie and waited for BSOD. Nope, played fine (much better quality too). Ok I thought, perhaps I've fixed it, play the downloaded version on the desktop. Nope, BSOD ****. ****....
Hmmm, notice all the Apple gurus here loading up with tips and suggestions. Aha. Honestly anything more than "How do you get Britneys picture to appear?" and they don't want to know. Typical....
Good luck.
Cheers

Flash Player 10 is not playing audio from Youtube with Vista and IE

Since installing FP10, I cannot get audio when playing YouTube video. I'm running Vista with SP2 and IE on an HP laptop. Flash 0 on my XP desktop plays audio fine, so I'm guessing its a setting on my laptop which needs changing back to what it was before the upgrade to FP10...any ideas please? I have uninstalled and the reinstalled FP10 as per other posts on this forum, but no success.

I too am experiencing this
[edit]
My problem was that I was not getting flash audio at all, including local publishes out of the IDE. The problem was that my Windows Audio service had stopped (for some reason).
To check :
(classic view) :: Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services >
(non-classic) :: Computer (right click) > Manage > Services and Applications > services >
(one of the above, then) :: [scroll down to 'Windows Audio'] > r-click 'properties', general tab, set the start-up type to manual (in the dropdown), and click the start button on the next line.

Weird USB connectivity poroblem with 5230 and Micr...

I've been encountering a weird issue with my 5230: whenever i try to connect via USB the phone will ask me which connection mode i want but it will never connect.
Trying to figure out what's wrong i noticed that whenever i plug the usb cable in all apps and themes installed to the MicroSD card stop working.
So, i tried plugging the phone in without a microSD card inserted and it worked perfectly.
I'm using a Kingston 8gbMicroSDHC card, and a CA-101 cable from Nokia. My PC is a custom build running Win7 Ultimate 64 bit. My phone is a Nokia 5230 RM-594 on firmware 20.2.005

Hello @nbundy6 ,
Welcome to the HP forum.
I understand that you are having a connection issue.
I would like to help.
You have done quite a lot in regards to the USB connection and software.
Have you tested the printers hardware?
If the printer has a hardware issue, no amount of software trouble shooting will fix the printing problem.

Macbook wireless network question with vista and xp PLEASE HELP

Ok I just bought a macbook computer and introduced it to a windows family using vista and xp computers. I was able to set up wireless networking and surf the internet with all computers. However I cannot see the windows computers from the mac but can see the mac on the windows computers. I have a linksys wrt54g router. I tried everything and Im unable to see other computers or the printer thats attached to the desktop pc using vista. I went ahead and purchased the extreme airport router and after being on the phone with apple care for 3 hours and reformatting the operating system on the mac I was finally able to see the other pc's and installed bonjour for windows on all windows based pc's and was able to print from the mac without a glitch but the windows based pc's were horribly very very slow printing using bonjour. Needless to say I didnt want to spend all the extra money on a apple router for all this to work and after doing so the printing from windows machines just plain *****. So I returned the airport extreme and Im back to the linksys. When the linksys wrt54g is hooked up I cannot see the printer or other windows machines. Any ideas please to keep my current setup so I dont have to go out and by more apple products for everything to play nice. Thanks

What is the exact model number of your Linksys router for this Linksys forum??
