C-Media Sound Problem

Hi All:
I've been having a recurring problem ever since I've had my board:
Whether I run at stock speed or oc, my sound turns off intermittently. To turn it back on I have to go into the C-Media application and switch to analog sound and then back to digital. I'm using the S-brackets spdif optical output, the driver version I'm using is C-Media's latest - 5.12.01.0039.3(36), (and it also happens with the 0031 driver version that's the latest that MSI shows for the board in Live Update), and I always keep my agp/pci bus locked at 66mhz.
Any suggestions?
Anyone?
Thanks
BigAL

I wish I could help but I don't have a clue. Sounds to me like you have everything setup correctly =[
Sounds like a bug to me? Might want to try emailing someone about it?
Sorry I can't be of more service!
P.S. I've seen the sound chips on these boards do wierd things. On my friends computer the sound would not raise any higher after the 2nd notch (out of 8 notches total). This means using regular run of the mill speakers that you don't plug into the wall, you can barely hear the sound. The only way to amplify the sound was to pipe the sound out to a stereo system with an amplifier =P Lucky for me, my friend/customer wanted to do just that so we circumvented that problem. I know this doesn't help you but it may comfort you knowing you're not the only one having troubles with the sound chip.

I tried to init the console in both ways (CModule.startAsync(this) and CModule.startBackground(this, new <String>[], new <String>[])) which doesn't make a diffrence.
I also tried to set the -swf-version=18 parameter, but it doesn't make a difference, too.
Anyone has an idea what is wrong ?
Thanks !

It may be that the calls to printf() are causing the problem. The printf() function may or may not be thread-safe or reentrant, depending on the system. Perhaps you might enable printf in only one of the threads, run it, and then enable it only in the other thread, and see what happens (easy test to make). If you are more ambitious, you could wrap the printf calls in a mutex. Generally, some folks recommend doing an explicit flush...

Sound problems after export media in premiere pro cs6

hello,
i recently started usining premiere c6 and after exported my project to mpeg-dvd i noticed that sound quality is reasonably lost, than exported sound separatedly without video to wav and result was the same bad. The imported sound source was really good, recorded in studio- wav 24 bit 48000. Before i used cs3 and never had such a sound problem after export video.
thank you very much,
Poly

It's difficult to speculate without hearing the original and the export. Can you upload them?

What sound problem - no sound on anything, no sound on some apps ?
Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the iPod and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
And for future info typing in all capitals is considered to be SHOUTING

No media sound on iPhone 4 after 7.0.3

I too have no media sound on my iPhone 4 after 7.0.3 upgrade:
I know the speaker works- i can hear sound from it on speakerphone, voicemail, and voice memo apps
However, using any of the following, I get no sound (and hitting the volume buttons on the side simply brings up ringer volume - not app volume)
quicktime videos (internet based and on my phone)
netflix
garageband
quicktime
i have unsuccessfully tried the following fixes:
locked / unlocked the "side buttons" control volume
performed a settings > general > reset
a button reset (holding home and power buttons)
performed a complete reinstall of ios and restored my phone

I had this problem since the 7.0.3 update. I searched everywhere and nothing, the solutions gived were not working in my case. So, i did a lot of tests and tried everything. One single trick seemed to be working, but it's not a permanent solution, unfortunately.
1. You must go and deactivate Siri.
2. Restart the iPhone / iPad.
3. After restart, go and activate Siri.
4. Lock the iPhone / iPad.
5. Bring Siri and ask her / him a question (if you are hearing the "beep" from Siri and it will answer to you, you are good, if not, try to repet the process again).
Again, this is not a permanent solution, sometimes lasts 3 days, sometimes one day.
I do not know yet why is this happening, but it's not related to applications (in my case).
Waiting for the next update to resolve this.

C-media audio problems

I've been having problems with flash games and animations.
Basically the problem used to be that each time a flash movie/game
would try to play a sound, it would freeze for a second then
continue (playing the sound properly). This would happen almost
every time a sound was played and this was really irritating. I
tried updating my sound drivers to the most recent, and this has
just altered the problem. Now the movie/game freezes for a second
after each sound.
My sound device is (I think) C-Media CM6501. It's a built in
sound card on an Asus M2N-E SLI motherboard and I'm running Windows
Vista. However before this PC I had an Acer laptop with a C-Media
sound card and I was having exactly the same problem. I can't
remember the specific details but it was running Windows XP.
Anyone know what the problem is?

I don't believe it is your sound card problem. I uses a
creative live sound card and also have used the Cmedia on boards
and have the same results that you have/ I myself believe it is a
flash player problem handling the chnageover of sounds. I don't
believe there is volume leveling in the flash player and it floods
the memory used for conversion of sound until it catches up! That
is putting it simply! Loud bass sounds and extremely loud theatre
type sounds seem to cause the hangups. I>E>

CS6 Media Browser Problem

When using the Media Browser in Premiere Pro to view files in a folder that contains many files (100+), the browser keeps jumping back to the beginning after viewing a few of dozen files. I then have to scroll back down to the last place I was and then I can continue a little further before the browser jumps back to the beginning again. The files do not open instantly -- there is a finite time where the message "processing ..." is displayed. I gave up before getting to the end. I doubt that I have an under-resourced computer since it is a i7-3770K with 32GB RAM and a GTX670 card. Is there a limit to the number of files that can be viewed in the Media Browser? Any suggestions?
Thanks
P.S. Just did a search on the problem and I see that it is a well known issue.

Hi guys !
Just wanted to post because we had the same problem on 4 different computers with different configurations.
It was really annoying to have this jumping/refreshing media browser problem. At a point, that this browser was useless.
Then we had a problem with droping sound editing r3d code... Kind of a deal breaker, when the company claims that you can edit 4K r3d files no ?
We finally figured out that the Media Cache and the Media Cache files NEEDS to stay in the original folders (C:\Users\nameofuser\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common).
Even if everybody on the web tells you to dedicate a single SSD just for the media cahe, it won't work for Premiere pro. DON'T MOVE THOSE FOLDERS !
Removing those folders to the original place (C:\Users\nameofuser\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common) [again] solved the problem for us. Hope it will work for you guys.
Don't blame Adobe, i'm sure they'll read my post to fix this in the next version of premiere

MIDP 2.0 Sound Problems (class cast exception?)

I am running the following sniplet of code:
try
     java.io.InputStream is=getClass().getResourceAsStream("/res/sounds/shuffle.wav");
     Player player = Manager.createPlayer(is,"audio/x-wav");
     player.realize();
     player.start();
catch( Exception e )
     System.out.println( e.getMessage() );
}With some very akward results!
Givens:
- All my wav files are 11,025 & 8bit mono
Problems:
1a. If the sound file is very short, I get no audio at all.
1b. Conversly if the sound is long it plays fine
2. No matter what kind of wav im loading I get this error the *first time I load it

The MIDI message you're getting doesn't make any sense at all since you're specifying wav input. What's happening on the actual device? Same error? What encoding are you using for the wav (linear and adpcm are probably the only ones supported)?

Sound problems with Satellite A100 (PSAA8)

I am continually having sound problems with the laptop. Whilst I hear the windows start up noise and beeps, I cannot hear any sound from things like CDs, iTunes, Media Player - in fact an error message will always come up. In Media Player the error message "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device......." comes up. I have a the standard pre-installed Realtek sound thing on my laptop. I have tried downloading a newer driver from the Toshiba support centre, but I don't know what to do with the zip file. Also in Control Panel, Sounds, everything is greyed-out.
Hope someone can help cos I am going nuts with this :-)
Thanks

Hi again
I have downloaded the Realtek sound driver from the Tosh page and unzipped it.
(I have chosen the driver for Vista!!! I suppose you use Vista???)
There is a folder called sound. Access this folder and run Setup.exe
But before you will start this procedure you could access the device manager (control panel -> computer -> device manager) and choose sound, video, and game controller. There you have to mark realtek AC and click on uninstall and reboot the unit.
After this sound driver removing you should start the new driver installation described above. (setup.exe)

MSI neo4 plat(non sli) sound problem.... and other problem...

hi
(sorry for my poor english)
FIRST ISSUE
ok here is the deal, i got no sound when using the rear panel of the mother board... but when i use the front panel of my case there no problem and i get sound....
after reading a lot on sound problem i try first to change my bios so i check the 1.8 and the 1.6 but still no result... , i also try to use the nvidia sound drive instead of the raitek one.... but still nothing ... in the system all appeare to be ok, windows dont detect any conflict on hardware on so one... even the nvidia mixer equaliser move... but no output...
i also read a litle about the compatibylity issue betwen the mobo and the atx2 PSU standard with the using of the 5v pin...,but as far i read it seem that this is only on the sli version...do this issue also concernt the non sli version ?can this explain my problem ?
SECOND

thank

Hi!
I am also facing this problem with my K8N NEO4 Platinum Ultra.
I have even tested my PC with a PSU which is having -5v in it's rating.
I have also requested a help from MSI Support.
Their & My reply is as follows.
But still my problem could not be solved. My sound card as per the OS works fine and produces output. But no audible output for humans to hear.
This is the case with both front and rear panels.
I have even sent the MB for RMA but here in India, people are fools. Even from RMA the board was shipped back in the same faulty condition. What to say? Whom to curse? Only money and 20days were spent waiting for repair and in wain.
If any body can help it will be very nice.
Here is my reply to MSI:
My K8n Neo4 Platinum Ultra - earlier was giving good quality sound output. Later after 15 days of using this board, it does not give any audible sound at all. But through headphone socket of cd player I am able to receive good quality sound.
And also while using CD Player to play audio tracks, the output is very intermitent and feeble with lots of cracking noise and poor quality audio is heard.
Through Windows Media Player no sound is heard at all.
I reinstalled win2000/Win2000Server/Win2003 XP Server. In all the platform sound problem exists. Any solutions?
My PSU has 20amps in +12V rail and has no -5v. 24 pin adaptor with 400W.
SATA HDD 80GB WD. 256*2=512mb DDR 400 Ram.
CPU AMD 3000+ Winchester core.
Thanks in advance.
REPLY FROM MSI:
Dear SoftWheels:
Thank you for contacting MSI Technical Support.
With regard to yoru concern, we would like to know before the onboard sound function abnormally, if you have made any adjustment to your system hardware or software?
And at this time would you please try to un-install the sound driver in the Add or Remove Program, then install the ALC Series AC'97 Audio Drivers refer to the link below, after this please first check if in Device Manager there is any yellow mark.
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/driver/dvr/spt_dvr_detail.php?UID=637&kind=1.
AGAIN MY RESPONSE TO MSI:
Dear Sir,
Thanks for your reply. But reply does not solve my problem. I have tried all that you said in your reply.
I have done nothing to hardware. No electrical problems or burning.
Due to no sound, I have even totally zero filled my SATA hard disk, updated bios, re-installed

Media live problems - solutions?

Hi,
New to the forum and unfortunately found it while seeking solutions to my Media Live problems :(
It looks like I have some similar problems to those I've already seen posts on - no HDMI output after Windows (Vista) boot screen, no sound, and also I have some instability (machine locks with diagonal coloured stripes on the display). I've been trying driver updates, but the Nvidia graphics one from the support website just crashes when installing and I'm scratching around to find a way of booting to (proper) DOS to do a BIOS update.
Given some of the posts on the HDMI issues are now quite old, are there any more solutions out there, especially for common ones like the HDMI problems as MSI support must have been aware of them for 6 months now!?
Any help or links greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Mark.

Hi, I also have the same problem with the HDMI connection. When the system boots up it works okay, If I leave the system playing a music album or video the sound just stops working after about 10-15 minutes. When I try and reboot the system the screen does not work. You can see the Vista boot screen,but get no desktop or sound. I have to leave the system switched off for about 20minutes and then boot it up and it works again. Also I have a 1080i Sony LCD and when I try to run the desktop at this resolution it justs goes blank. I can only run the desktop resolution at 720i. This is my second system as the first one had the same problems. Does anyone at MSI monitor these forums?....Thanks..

Desperately need some help!! iTunes/Quicktime/iChat/Sound problems....

So, yesterday, I was online, on google video, and when I pressed play on the video, there was no sound, but the video worked...the same was true on every video site i checked. My computer volume was at max, and I even tested the speakers to make sure they were on, and they indeed were.
I thought that was odd...but then the problems really started.....
After that, I clicked on my iChat icon. It bounced once, and did not open. The same thing happened when I clicked on iTunes. 1 bounce, and then nothing. I checked to make sure all of my iTunes mp3 files were on my computer....they indeed are all still here, bit nothing I can do opens iTunes. I've run disc utilities, and disc repair...according to that, everything is peachy-keen on my computer.....but iChat and iTunes STILL will not open, and there is still no sound on anything.
Now, i'm leaning towards the archive and install option....or even just backing up what I want to save, wiping the drive, and starting from scratch.....but i'd really like to not have that happen.
(and, as a side question, if all I want to save are images, several documents, and many mp3 files, would everything be okay if I just backed them up on an external drive, and then loaded them back on to my computer after reinstalling OS X?)
Sorry about the length of this, but I am at my wit's end, and I have no idea what to do.

by third-party, do you mean things I installed that are not manufactured by mac? If that is the case, I have microsoft office, Smart Music, Flip4mac, and Senuti.
I got rid of Flip4Mac to see if that affected my sound problems, but it did not. So, as of now, my problem remains the same...

Sound problems on ProBook 6550b, running on Win 7 Pro x32bit..

I have been getting very similar sound problems on my notebook as posted by most: internal speakers work on original Audio HD drivers, but there is no sound when I connect external speakers or headphones. I up-graded the audio drivers to IDT HD Audio and I get sound coming from external speakers or headphones, but nothing from internal speakers.
I have tried everything from reporting the problem on public forums, live help, and done this or that, but nothing changes. It's so very clear to me that it has to do with audio drivers, which don't seem to work appropriately to cover all aspects of sound output.
I also, often, get this loud, weird, irritating noise and a frozen PC when I am playing music with the notebook, while on the internet. The best I do is not to do both at the same time. I have seen similar problems on blogs, but tangible solutions are NOT offered!!!! Please help...

Audio Switching coudl be due to several reason. if you have tried latest audio drivers and latest Video drivers from hp.com, i suggest you to get audio board replaced for your computer.
Hope it helps.
