Captivate 4 (Windows7 & 64bit) Audio Issue

Hello,
I have read the Windows 7 & 64 bit thread about how Captivate 4 not work within a Windows 7/ 64-bit environment, some how it worked on this computer before I adopted it.  I am trying to record audio on a project and when I go into Audio-Setting--the input device area is greyed out and I can't select a device.  I have a Microsoft headset attached to the laptop by USB.  I also cannot click on the Calibrate input button because it is greyed out.
This laptop was used to create several Captivate 4 projects without any audio issues as far a I know.  I just adopted the laptop and unfortunately the previous user is no longer at this office.
Thanks,
AMT2007

Hi Lilybiri,
I am running in Administrator mode and XP-compatability mode is turned on.

  • Captivate 7 and Audio Issues

    Hi, I have been having with audio files in Captivate 7 when changing audio files for a specific slide. If I use the F6 functionality, sometimes the new audio file will be attached, sometimes it won't, and sometimes I will hear both audio files.
    If I go into the library and remove all the audio files without first removing from the individual slides, sometimes the audio file will play on the slide when published. I cannot remove the audio file because I can see it in the library or on the film strip.
    If I first remove the audio files from the slide, then remove the audio file from the library the file is definitely removed from the project.
    Is this a bug in Captivate 7? Is there another way to ensure that the audio files have been updated without jumping through hoops. I've had a few projects I've had to recreate because of the audio issues.
    thanks,

    Welcome, Bob,
    Each powerpoint slide will be converted in a mini video. You will have to make a parallel PPT, where you change the click animations to timed animations if you want the user in the CP-file to have to click only once.
    Another approach would be to use Adobe Presenter, and the user could then click to advance on each animation.

  • Captivate Software Simulation Audio Issues

    My Captive 8 software simulation slides have been having issues with the audio right after recording. Before I even publish anything, my audio will end up being 2-3 slides ahead of where it should be on the slides. As you may know, when recording a software simulation, captivate automatically generates the slides with each mouse click and should automatically insert the correct audio on each slide. This is not happening for me, and it is very time consuming to fix. I either have to re-record and hope it doesn’t happen again or do a lot of external audio editing.
    It’s possible there may not be a resolution and it may be a recognized (or unrecognized) bug in Captivate.  Just need to know whatever the case may be.
    My initial gut reaction is to blame this on the latest Captivate 8 update… as I don’t remember experiencing this issue before.  But then again, I also upgraded my mac to OS X and that may be a factor as well.
    I've had people suggest to add a blank ending to the audio to restart the audio timer on the next slide, as well as add a transparent highlight box at the end of the slide, but these are ways to fix it when the file is published. Since my issue is happening before publishing, I was hoping someone on this forum may have an answer.

    PIP is available in Presenter Video Creator, not in the normal Presenter plug-in. It is not available in Captivate normal projects with extension cptx. You can insert a PIP in the TOC, but have to record it separately.
    In Captivate HD Video Demo, extension cpvc (which is also a video creator with a dedicated video editor) you can insert a PIP in the editor. But again you have to create it separately.
    The choice is up to you: an easy way to have both recordings together, with very limited editing possibilites in Presenter. Or the Captivate way, more work, better editor.
    Afraid to repeat again: we are only talking about pure video now. In the normal Captivate files, that are based on slides, you can insert a video (like a PIP) and distribute it over slides, adapting the slide markers is available  in the Video menu. No webcam recording for the moment in Captivate.

  • Audio Issues in Captivate 4 on Vista

    Hi,
    Just wondering if there is a fix out yet to deal with the audio issues in Captivate 4 - I'm running on regular Vista - editing audio in Soundbooth, importing MP3 files into Captivate - clicks and pops abound. Really frustrating and annoying. Is anyone working on improving this and other Captivate 4 annoyances?
    Thanks,
    Marianne

    Hi Chip
    Glad it worked for you.
    For what it's worth, you will likely find it has nothing to do with Acrobat. I've seen it happen with RoboHelp and with Captivate and other software. Likely something failed during a recent software install of a different package. Unfortunately the symptom appears with a legitimate and soundly installed package.
    Good luck in getting it sorted... Rick

  • Bootcamp 3.1 and imac windows 7 64bit update not installing. Audio issues!

    After many days of work getting the windows 7 working in bootcamp in my imac 27 (still with audio issues) I eagerly awaited the bootcamp update and imac updates.
    Neither will install.
    Then I find that according to tech support as of now I have to reinstall Windows 7 again for the updates to work!
    It took me 5 full 8 hours days to get all my scientific programs installed and working, now I find I can't even simply update the drivers I need. I don't want to reinstall.
    My only issues are audio.
    Here they are:
    1) The headset jack works fine on the Mac side, but in Windows 7, it causes the i7 intel CPU to go crazy. There is no CPU spike on the mac side.
    2) The headset jack in the imac is a trrs jack. The same as in the iphone, a tri-band jack that has three bands, two audio out channels and one mic in channel. A trrs headset works fine on the mac side with using the headset mic (as in iphone) rather than the built in mic. (this provides much better quality for sound recording). I don't want to use a usb mike.
    In Windows 7 the mic part of the trrs headset does not work.
    3) In Windows 7 when going into audio devices recording, no audio mixer shows up, so when I do video or audio screen capture the only way to capture the sound is through the speakers and then back through the imac built in mic, rather than directly through the unit. (terrible sound quality) On the mac side the mixer element works fine.
    Now I find from other imac users that even the new updates for the imac on windows 7 don't address and fix the audio issues. I am sure not going to go through 5 more days work only to find the audio issues still don't work.
    I need these audio aspects to work properly though!
    I have tried to get drivers for the cirrus logic audio card, but guess what there are none available and cirrus logic doesn't even recognize the board or offer drivers.
    I have many windows programs I must have for my scientific research!I bought the top of the line Imac with all the bells and whistles because Apple promised that the machine could run Windows 7 in bootcamp natively!
    It doesn't. This has been a nightmare of problems.
    Is Apple going to step up to the plate and make good on their promises?
    Does any one have a fix for any of the audio issues, or know how to install the new drivers without a complete reinstall of Windows?
    Installing a few sound drivers and software should not require a complete reinstall. Getting the proper drivers for the headset jack audio in and audio out jack should be the most basic of fixes. Making the audio mixer work should be elementary.
    If you are an Apple tech person or an Apple user that can help on these issues, please do!
    Thanks, Dr. Duke
    An American profesor in Europe.
    PS I will post this under Imac windows 7 updates without a reinstall and under
    imac Sound issues.

    On another thread a few people have responded saying that their imac has the same situation, the cpu is going crazy and the imac gets hot with headphones or speakers plugged in. But this doesn't happen in the mac side.
    If you have an late 2009 imac and don't have these audio issues, let us hear from you. If you don't, lay out the problem here.
    Here is my last two cents in to the inquiry.
    Not only does the cpu run crazy but the imac 27 gets very, very hot. Since I unplugged the headphones, it runs much, much cooler.
    Certainly, some Mac engineers should take care of this problem, it seems it is universal on all the imac 27's and from what I gather, the smaller screened cousins too.
    Also, we certainly want a stereo mix option for audio in or out, or what is called "what you hear" or wave out. Imac is supposed to be much geared to multimedia apps.
    Finally, the mic jack part of the trrs set up MUST be fixed! A lot of manufacturers are going to headset combo jacks as they call them, mic in and stereo out on the same tribanded plug. But, the old single jack for mic in and single jack for stereo out are two tiny parts of the hardware and super inexpensive for the manufacturer. Why in the **** to go to the "advanced" triplug if the **** thing doesn't work.
    Mac has a great reputation. I hope they remedy these problems right away.
    Anyone whose imac 27 or 24 whose headset plug is working correctly. Let us know! I don't think anyone's is, but I think that few people understand that their cpu is running so much faster with the plug in, plus few even understand the combo jack and the triband, or trrs audio jack! Out of 4 audio technicians I talked to, not one of them knew what a trrs jack was or that you even have a mic in jack as part of the headset jack!
    When I told one senior that it worked on the Mac side, he didn't believe for a while, thought my sound might be recorded from the onboard mic, but I proved it to him by tapping iaudibly on my iphone mic headset and and it showing up in garage band clearly and listening to big difference in audio.
    As for a usb audio adapter, I am in a neon light environment and find that those adapters are more sensitive to electrical interference. Besides I want to use the headset jack as it was meant to be used!
    Thats it.
    Again, if anyone using an imac 27 and windows 7 64 or 32 doesnt have these problems, let us know! We are all anxious for a fix!
    Best to all!

  • Can't re-install iTunes on Windows7 64bit PC.

    Can't re-install iTunes on Windows7 64bit PC. Tried uninstalling Apple programs in correct order and starting again with new download but I can't install Apple App support which means iTunes won't work. May be something to do with microsoft visual c++ redistributable package x86 which I cannot repair.
    Help please!
    Thanks
    Mike

    A hint from another thread suggests that temporarily disabling the Windows Firewall may help with the installation of the C++ Redistributable components.
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • FAQ: How do I troubleshoot audio issues when importing .MTS files?

    Hello.   The link FAQ: How do I troubleshoot audio issues when importing .MTS files?
    does not work, and i need the answer please. My imported MTS clips are not playing back audio because it seems that no audio imported with the video.   Thanks, Don.

    Hi there
    Audio plays when the object with the audio assigned appears. This is why you hear it when the Button appears.
    Try assigning the audio instead to the object that appears when you click the button. Perhaps the caption.

  • Adobe Captivate Help | Edit audio

    This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/using/edit-audio.html

    I had the same issue, and finally I found "DJ Audio Editor" and it works well. It has everything I need and does the job perfectly. It supports various audio formats, have powerful filters and effects. The best point is its affordable $20 price, instead of hundreds of dollars.

  • HP 2000-2209 TU - drivers for Windows7 64bit

    Hi,
    I have recently installed Windows7 (64bit) on my Laptop HP 2000-2209 TU.  Since then my Wifi/ Wireless network  is not working. 
    I tried to download it from the Hp website, but they have drivers for Windows8 only.
    Could you please help me to resolve this issue?
    Thanks in advance
    Baiju

    You're very welcome.
    You need these drivers for the devices you listed...
    Ethernet Controller:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-104622-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
    Network Controller:  See my instructions below.  I need more info on that.
    PCI Device:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-127099-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
    PCI Simple Communications Controller:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-104495-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
    SM Bus Controller:  Install this driver first and reboot.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-104727-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
    Wireless card (Network Controller):
    I will need you to perform a simple set of clicks in order for me to identify the model wireless card that needs the driver.
    Since there is no wireless driver installed, there should be a device labeled Network Controller in the device manager under an Other Devices category.  The network controller device will have a little ! mark next to it.
    So, find the network controller device, click on that and then click on the Details tab.
    Now you see a Property drop down list and it is defaulted to Device Description.
    Drop down on that list and select the second item (Hardware ID's).
    Post the top string of characters you see in the window.

  • Captivate 7 - HTML5 audio/slides not syncing

    Hi,
    I am trying to publish out to HTML5 (Captivate 7 with the patch on Windows 7). I have audio on each slide and if I just let it run straight through, it's fine. However, if I page forward the audio is not sync'd with the slide anymore. It looks like it take a little longer for the slide to catch up but the audio starts right away.
    Also, if I go back and forth (I know this isn't right but I know learners are going to), sometimes I get audio from two slides playing at once.
    Is this just an HTML5/audio issue or is this a Captivate issue?
    Thanks,
    Joy

    Sreekanth,
    I think I've found a workaround for this issue. I’m finding when audio is placed on each question slide in the pool, the audio on subsequent slides play. The audio on the question slides has to be different from audio used on non-question slides (but all the question slides can use the same audio). Also, the question slide audio can be a very short and silent piece of audio, so nothing is heard on the question slide itself.

  • GW 7.0.4 Windows7 64bit Scrolling crash

    Hi,
    We have several users running GroupWise 7.0.4 on different Windows7 64bit laptops. If they try to reply to a long e-mail and scroll down to the bottom and then up, GroupWise crashes. If they use the mouse wheel then GroupWise is fine. It only happens when the use the scrollbar. They have different models of Dell laptops. Some are XPS and some are Latitudes. Other users have the same model of Latitude running Windows XP sp3. The XP machines work without issue. Everyone in the office runs Office 2010 and Grouplink's ContactWise. Unfortunatly, the people running Windows7 64 are officers of the company. Getting much time at any of their machines is hard. Right now they use the mouse wheel but they grumble that Outlook won't have this problem.
    Thanks,
    John

    Interesting.I have dell laptop, gw 7.04 client, windows 7x64 and do not
    experience this issue. Studio 17 model.
    Could this be
    some setting in the touchpad? I remember modifying mine quite a bit,
    turning off most of the special features.
    Does it occur with PGUP/PageDown/Arrow Scrolling?

  • 3000 J 115 Vista Premium 32bit - cant boot from CD/DVD drive to do clean Windows7-64bit install

    My 3000 J 115 Windows Vista Home Premium desktop configuration is as follows:
    - an EISA area
    - 2 SATA HDD
    - 2 IDE HDD
    - 1 IDE DVD-RW drive
    I changed the BIOS boot order so that the CD/DVD drive is first. Upon rebooting, the CD/DVD drive light comes on at bootup time, but later it proceeds to boot from HDD.
    I tried removing all other HDDs from the boot device list so that the CD/DVD drive is the only boot device - then I get the msg "NTLDR is missing. Press CtrlAltDel to restart".
    The machine will boot only if the C drive HDD is on the bootable device list - the C drive is on the original disk that came with the machine (that disk also has the EISA partition). And then, it wont boot from the CD/DVD even if it is the first on the boot device list. Finally, it shows up all OS's on the OS selection screen at bootup even when the HDDs on which those OS's reside are not present in the boot list (I guess this is again because of the EISA).
    I need to boot from the CD/DVD to do a clean install of Windows7 64bit from the bootable Windows installation CD. How can I get my machine to do that? (I checked my jumper and cable settings for the IDE drives and they seem to be ok)

    I've had a similar issue trying to install Windows 7 on my mid-2010 MacBook Air, getting stuck at the Mac not recognising the USB Stick as a bootable device.
    The rEFIt Toolkit solved this for me - simply install, reboot, and your stick shows up. From there everything was smooth sailing for me

  • Windows7 64bit Client + ActiveX Viewer

    Hello,  We have been running Crystal Reports Server for several years with no issues.  We recently started deploying Windows7 64bit on several of our clients desktops.  When they try to load a web report they receive the message to install the ActiveX Viewer.  When they click install they get an error "The Crystal Reports Viewer is unable to create it's resouces".  I have read the KB articel about regiestering the dll from the worksation, but I prefer to have this happen automaticlly like on the 32bit clients.  Does anyone know away to fix this, by the way I'm running version 11.5.3.438 is there a service pack to address this issue?

    Win7 in general and win7 64bit inparticular are not supported platforms for your product version.
    You'll need to upgrade to Xi3.1 Sp3 , if you want to use Win7 clients.

  • Intermittent audio issues. CP 5.5

    Hello,
    We have imported professional audio files into quite a few captivate 5.5 slides.  The play fine when previewing - however when published it seems some words are being cut off at the beginning of some slides?  However it is not always the same audio - sometimes it does play ok and sometimes it does not.
    Someone's help would be appreciated.
    thanks

    You need to talk to your IT department and get them to give you permission to Run Captivate As Administrator.  Otherwise you WILL experience all manner of issues, especially if you ever need to capture screens for a software simulation...  Iv'e worked in plenty of large organisations and it is usually possible to get this permission if your manager is willing to support your request.  The alternative can be a life of misery with Captivate.
    However, your issue with the audio files could be something else entirely.
    Check to see if the audio clips have little or no silence before and after the voiceover section.  If so, then I recommend you open each clip in Captivate's Slide Audio dialog and copy some audio from between sentences or pauses somewhere in the clip and then paste this silence at the beginning and end of the clip.  You should aim to have around a half second of silence at each end of the voiceover.
    You cannot just use the function in Captivate that adds silence as this is very pure silence that has absolutely NO audio data.  Unfortunately, when Captivate sees no audio data at the beginning and/or end of a clip it simply truncates this silence.  So your silence needs to be what I call "dirty silence" not 'pure silence".  As long as there is SOME audio in the silence Captivate will leave it alone.
    Also, make sure your clips are NOT hard up against the start or end of the slide.  Back them off at least one tenth of a second.
    See if that helps the issue.
