Cinnamon Desktop Sound Settings Window Sizing Issue

This is not a big issue, but it should also be an easy fix.
I've noticed for months that when I enter the sound menu from the Sound Settings option on the panel the Sound Settings window is not quite wide enough and so a scroll bar appears at the bottom of the window. This blocks some of the balance, fade, and subwoofer slider area. If I enter the sound settings from the Control Panel, the window scales appropriately.
If anyone knows a more appropriate place to post this bug report, please let me know.

Your symptoms sound similar to the subject of this document, concerning "Terminal.app" requiring Apple's Monaco font to be enabled:

  • 3rd Party VSTi Settings Window Size

    I'm not the first person to talk about this, it is mentioned in the last post of this topic

    To save you checking and me re-describing this is the quote
    > I have more of a question about VSTi settings windows sizing.
    It appears all of my RGC audio VSTi plugins (Rapture, DimensionPro, and Z3TA+) are not displaying the window at the same size as it does in other hosts. This makes it difficult to manipulate the various parameters available for the plugin. Since all of my other VSTi plugins appear to be working, it must be something that is being communicated back to Audition from the VST scan process. I will be happy to open a bug report with Cakewalk if I know what to tell them as far as what the problem is.
    And from what I can see no-where else on the forum mentions anything of the like. I am referring to the same plugins as Dennis.
    Oh and to save any questions I'm running;

  • Photosmart D7160 connected to desktop with Windows XP, issues with new laptop & network printing

    We have a Photosmart D7160 connected to our desktop that runs Windows XP. I just got a new Acer laptop that runs Windows 7 (64bit). We set up a network to connect to the internet and so I can access documents that had been made on the desktop. I have not had issues using the printer off the desktop with any programs. I installed a creative program to create flyers, cards, etc onto the laptop. Same one as on the desktop. When trying to print off the laptop, I can not access the whole options on the printer. I forget the name of the options I want (maybe called printing preferences) but I would like to choose wether I am using the photo tray or presentation printing or economy printing, etc. I can only choose print.  That is not  good for printing cards, etc. I had made a recipe care template with that program and wanted to print one out.
    What have I not done in setting up my laptop? I tried the to "add a printer" on a network and that did not fix my issue. Any help is appreciated. thanks.

    Hi Bayratlj
    Dunno if you've sorted your problem out, but I had exactly the same problem with a HP Photosmart 3100. I found some advice on http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6201674 regarding the firewall on the Mac and yes that is the problem. But as you'll see with my last post in that topic I cant figure out how to keep my firewall on AND have printer sharing. Just allowing printer sharing in the firewall settings is no help.
    Cheers

  • Stream 7 and Windows with Bing window sizing on desktop

    I really like the HP Stream 7 but the Windows 8.1 with Bing version of windows has a really irritating behavior on the small tablets it won't keep the size and position settings of many applications on the desktop. IE always opens full screen same with Windows Explorer and if you resize or position it the next time you open it it is back to full screen. This is the same behavior on the Streak 7, Toshiba Encore Mini or Encore 2 8 inch, Insignia 8 inch and may be the behavior of all the smaller tablets with Windows with Bing. The Toshiba Encore 2 10 inch behaves normally maintaining the window settings between launches, as did the 8 inch tablets running Windows 8.0 and 8.1 versions prior to Windows with Bing.
    Can anyone suggest how to correct this on the small tablets with Windows with Bing

    You are not wrong, a simple file explorer test resulted in my desktop remembering the windowed position instantly, while my tablet full screened itself every single time. Windows may tell itself to function a little differently as a tablet, the far majority of people would prefer windows to open maximised on a small tablet screen. In your case, the only reason you want it not to is because you are using a case that is not designed (or badly designed) for the stream 7. 
    I haven't found any reasonably affordable cases for the Stream 7 that offer full access to the screen there will probably be cases in the future that will.   I also picked up an toshiba encore 2 8 and that has a case that offers a fully exposed screen the Windows with Bing behavior is less of an annoyance but still an issue.   This is not so much an HP, Toshiba or any manufacture issue as a Microsoft error.  8 and 10 inch tablets with Windows 8.0 and 8.1 didn't behave this way.  I would like to find a "switch/setting" to correct this.  I use my Windows tablets more then half the time in desktop mode and it is a pain to have the new version of the OS take a step backward in usability I can't remember the version of Windows that didn't support size/position retention,  Win 3?.
    Just checked Amazon and they now have a couple cases that provide full screen access so I ordered one.
    But that still leaves me looking for the setting that makes the Windows with Bing tablets behave like the tablets with other versions of Windows 8.1 with respect to retaining window size and aspect

  • Issues with loud sound settings over headphones.

    My Ipad 2 has been having some issues with the sound settings when I put the volume up loud. When I go past a certain level there is a "popping" sound and the volume cuts out all together.  If I reduce the volume this popping sound happens again and the volume comes back on.
    This only happens through the headphones, and doesn't happen with the external speaker.
    Have I stuffed up one of the settings? Is this an OS update issue or do I need to replace the headphone jack?
    I have reset all the settings, but haven't done a complete restore yet.
    Thanks

  • MacOS Lion 10.7.1 Still issues with Flash Player Settings windows

    Hi Everyone, and Adobe,
    I have tried almost anything now, but it still doesn't work... I have a few workarounds but non really working
    I'm only having this issues with my iMac not my MacBook Pro... how is that?
    Using, MacOS Lion 10.7.2 with Flash Player version 11.0.1.152.
    I'm still not able to invoke / click on the Flash Player Settings windows in the Browser (Safari) -- I can as described, workaround the Allow and Denied issue by using the System Preferences Flash settings… but I can not change cam setting, from Web CAM to my external Cam. !!
    Is this ONLY me having these issues or ?? or wasn't the issue suppose to have been fixed in the latest version af Flash? or … is this issues only related to the Video Card within my iMac (ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB) ? 
    Some that someone, hopefully Adobe can help me here
    hope for some greate feedback ...

    This is a known issue with particular iMac machines having ATI Radeon HD cards. Currently, we found iMac 7/8 with ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro are the most common victim of this issue. We are working with both Apple and ATI to fix this problem. For now, we summarized some work arounds in below forum thread, hope it will be helpful to you!

  • Premiere Pro CS4 "Export Settings" window does not show up.

    Hello,
    I've run into a new problem with Premiere Pro CS4. Basically, when I select "File > Export > Media" my Export Settings window doesn't show up. If I click on the Premiere window I hear the beeping sound and nothing happens, if I hit Enter the Export Data window pops up and then Media Encoder opens. So, it seems that my Export Settings window is still open but I can't see it and make the necessary setting changes. It does not appear to be minimized and I can not locate it on my desktop anywhere. This is really frustrating because I was able to see the Export Settings window just a few weeks ago when I was exporting my last project. I've tried changing my screen resolutions but that didnt reveal the Export Settings window.
    Does anyone know what is going on here and, more importantly, how I can fix it? I am really stuck here and am working against a deadline. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!
    -Ben

    Ben,
    THANK YOU!!!! For two days I have been struggling with the exact same issue. And of course it was simple to fix, if I had just thought about it. Thank you for taking the time to post your experience. I had tried all sorts of stuff trying to get everything onto my #1 monitor, with desktop & workspace resets, resizing my display, etc. After reading and printing your post,
    Hitting ALT+Space,
    Down Arrow,
    Enter,
    and then pressing the left arrow and watching my Export window slide into view, I was laughing so hard, that I was tearing up. It would have been a month waiting for my second monitor to get repaired to get to see what was still being displayed on this ghost monitor. Each week, I video and edit our church's service and then post three versions (Windows Media Player, Ipod-MP4, MP3 Audio) of it to our web site. I would have been four weeks behind were it not for your post.
    Again, a BIG Thank You!!!

  • Remote Desktop sound stops working after a while.

    Has anyone a solution to this problem of the sound just dropping out of a RDP connection after a day or two?
    Win Server2008 (32 bit) running as a Terminal Server.
    WIN 7 Clients (32 bit)
    Sound is absolutely critical on the program being ran on the WIN7 clients when connecting via RDP to the Server 24/7.
    But the sound just stops working on the RDP clients after a day or two.
    If I minimize the RDP session and try the sound from the native windows session it works, but sound is not working within the RDP session.
    and it takes a restart of the RDP session to restore sound, but then aftera day or two I get a call to say the sound is no longer working- a restart of the RDP sessions restores the sound.
    I have checked the Environment sound settings in the RDP setup on the clients and have them set to play on the client, and I have checked that sound is not disabled in the Terminal Server end of things for RDP sessions.
    I would really appreciate to help with this if anyone has suggestions.

    OK after updating the Server and clients I am still having this issue :( 
    and just today after no sound problems for 6 days the sound dropped out on a couple of RDP sessions, yet the sound on the client itself worked fine when tested (minimise the RDP session).
    It took the RDP sessions to be restarted to restore the sound within the session.
    I have found similar (old) thread regarding this problem:
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/958fd891-6f55-432b-8268-a326ac6b2b2e/sound-in-remote-desktop-session-stops-working
    but no one has informed about if as solution was ever found.

  • Cannot use Remote Desktop host on Windows 8.1 Pro, termsrv corrupted?

    Hello,
    Few days ago I upgraded my home desktop machine from Windows 8.1 to Windows 8.1 Professional so I can use the Remote Desktop feature.
    I enabled everything needed, checked "Allow computers to connect to this computer" from the Remote Settings, forwarded the port 3389 in my rounter and allowed it in my firewall etc...
    But I still can't connect to this computer from outside my home network or inside it. The error I get trying to connect is this:
    (For some reason i still can't post images in this forum...) So I posted a link below to my original thread with the images
    I'm trying to connect using a laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium.
    After searching around I found out that the service responsible for the RDP is called "TermService", I found it on my services but was unable to start it:
    (For some reason i still can't post images in this forum...) So I posted a link below to my original thread with the images
    Also, notice the description of the service. So I tried to run a System File Checker on the service's DLL (sfc /scanfile=c:\windows\system32\termsrv.dll) and got this log:

    Since it's the first time I use this tool I'm not familiar with this log file, but what I managed to figure out from it is that termsrv.dll is corrupted and windows cannot repair it for some reason.
    My question is:
    How can I repair this file? Is this even the problem preventing me from connecting to this computer via Remote Desktop?
    Here's a link to my original question which contatining the images.
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-system/cannot-use-remote-desktop-host-on-windows-81-pro/e4776239-4d9e-4934-ae2d-b87cc09f7ade

    managed to figure out from it is that termsrv.dll is corrupted and windows cannot repair it for some reason.
    So, the next step supposedly is
    using  DISM.
    Coincidentally I reached that page last night from
    this one, which I thought gave me a better awareness of how much manual repair might be possible.  E.g. maybe the WinSxS isn't quite as fragile as we are being led to believe?  (It's making me feel sort of like how I used to feel about the
    registry when seeing all the caveats about using RegEdit before I got used to that tool.)
    Advanced guidelines for diagnosing and fixing servicing corruption
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee619779(v=WS.10).aspx 
    Something else that I became aware of yesterday serendipitously is SxStrace.exe.  I have never seen it used but it sounds useful.  E.g. perhaps easier to interpret for supplemental clues than the ProcMon trace that I usually advocate. 
    Or perhaps use both and see in ProcMon when the SxStrace is writing.   E.g. filter with  Operation Is WriteFile.
    However, what I would do first is find out what the state of your system is regarding that module.  E.g. try this Powershell pipeline to list what you have.
    PS C:\windows> dir -R -Fil "termsrv.dll" | sort-object FullName | ft Length, FullName -AutoSize
    Note that I am giving you the whole command line, including prompt to show where the command should be started from.
    C.f. another thread where doing the same diagnostic procedure seems to be finding more a problem with the Windows Update software than with the user's WinSxS cache.

  • Ideapad Yoga 11 with Windows RT - Issues

    Got my orange Yoga 11 with Windows RT a few days ago here in the UK, and I have to say that initial impressions are very good. No fan at all, barely gets wam, switches on from connected standby almost instantly, and battery life is really impressive. Build quality seems solid - no peeling paintwork, and keyboard is securely fastened, screen is great quality, there's some backlight bleed on the right side, but only visible when at 100% against a black background (i.e. never). There's a bit more flex and 'give' in the screen than I expected, but nothing I can't live with. Wifi signal is also strong and connections don't drop like others are seeing with the Yoga 13.
    So, Windows RT ... still getting used to it, but here are some initial niggles:  there only appears to be one Lenovo RT settings app available in the Store, and it's fairly useless, since all it does is provide a switch to lock/unlock keyboard in different orientations (why?). No Lenovo drivers are available from here either, I guess these all come from Windows Update for the RT model instead?
    The problems I'm having stem from not being able to tweak some system & hardware settings properly because of the above and the need to rely on stock driiver configs, specifically:
    - Keyboard: it can be quite sluggish, and doesn't register repeat letters very well (like in 'tell' or 'soon') at my typing speed. I've never experienced this with any keyboard, nevermind a Lenovo one. The stock keyboard config under Control Panel does nothing to help this - changing the two options for Repeat delay/Repeat rate just make it worse. This is quite annoying, as I really have to slow down my typing speed to get any work done. It would currently be my no. 1 reason for returning it, depending on how I get on with it this week.
    - Touchpad: no options are available to configure it that I can find. No tweaking multi-touch, like 2-finger scroll direction (which is reversed from the normal setting). It can also be very sluggish to respond sometimes, especially for pinch to zoom and similar gestures.
    - Bluetooth: allthough I can pair with e.g. Jamboxes fine enough, the connection is dreadful - constantly skipping and dropping out with any audio source, basically unusable.  The Jamboxes work fine with every other device I own. Again no settings I can tweak here beyond the installation options, and no way to debug the problem.
    Any help or advice with these niggles would be much appreciated, especially the keyboard issue.

    Just to add a few more passing thoughts to this monlogue for anyone who may be thinking of buying this model instead of the 13. 
    When it comes to Windows RT I'm finding myself more surprised every day by what I *can* rather than *can't* do with it.  Partly this is because I thought it would be something closer to a gimped Android or iOS experience.  Here are some things I didn't really expect to be available or usable, and that compare very well to those other OSes:
    - Remote Desktop (& RemoteApps): this really works very nicely, so far if I need quick access to a non-RT app it's a doddle to remote login to a W7 machine. I was expecting this to be too slow to be practical, but actually it's very smooth, and no need to install a separate app (although the Store has a Metro version to complement the desktop UI).
    - Windows Firewall with Advanced Security: I was expecting something dumbed-down, but this is the fully monty, completely configurable when you need it, otherwise less in your face than with W7. The same goes for Windows Defender, also included as standard.
    - Local Group Policy: I'm still surprised this is included, given that it otherwise only comes with W8 Pro.
    - Bitlocker: encrypts your drive by default OOB, no need to manage it at all.
    - Network browsing & sharing: really it's just a doddle to set up, using HomeGroup or just browsing the local network, access to all your network files OOB without installing any apps.
    - PlayTo: again, painless to set up and use, streaming all your media to DLNA devices.
    - Flash support, works just fine, and easy enough to add 'supported' sites to the list.
    - Explorer / File History / Disk management, really the whole suite is there without sandboxing or more apps needed for handling basic tasks.  So refreshing after iOS especially.
    - Admin tools / Powershell: the list of is impressive - full Task Manager, Event Viewer & Performance Monitor all included - and I was delighted to find Powershell in there too, especially since it's finally integrated into Explorer properly. Such a great, under-rated utility!
    - Media support: although I do miss a desktop media player with previews in Explorer, and better codec management, I was surprised by how quickly devs are stepping up to support different media types. Free apps already support mkvs and the like, and a VLC port is planned. I'm optimistic that this will get better.
    So basically, once you get past the point of accepting that you can't install legacy desktop programs or drivers, it's pretty much a solid Windows experience. I think the keyboard & typing speed is now my only major issue ... but I've almost convinced myself I can live with it so probably won't be returning it.
    Thanks for listening.

  • Windows 8 Issues

    So, I have purchased 'Windows 8 Pro' and am working to get it stable on my W520.
    Specs:
    - Lenovo W520 4270-CTO
    - i7 2720qm
    - Quadro 2000m
    - 16gb G-Skill DDR3
    - 120gb Intel 320 SSD
    Usage:
    - Systems Engineer using various development suites, virtualization technologies (directed i/o is a must), and other processor/ram intensive activities. I am looking to use Hyper-V and do some fairly heavy infrastructure simulations.
    - Occasional games (usually DOTA, Skyrim, etc.) which run at high FPS with gfx settings near maxed (Starcraft 2 is an exception, which doesn't work at all...  Stupid Blizzard...)
    Windows 8 Issues:
    - Cannot boot off install media with VT-d Virtualization Technology enabled. If I re-enable it post-install, sometimes it crashes, sometimes it doesn't.
    - Blue screens on sleep resume
    - Crashes on various driver installs (random, sometimes they work, sometimes they don't), locks up on boot, then after physical restart, crashes on Automatic Repair before being able to start back up normally.
    - After installing Hyper-V, system crashes, crashes on automatic repair, then is AOK...until it randomly crashes
    What I've Tried:
    - Switching between Integrated/Discrete/Optimus graphics doesn't seem to have made any difference.
    - Disabling VT-d seems to have helped with issues booting, but alas, no big fixes
    - Updated BIOS to 1.38, and 1.39 - both made no difference, still at 1.39.
    - Event log reports kernal power loss and various bugcheck errors but unable to find anything referencing the code provided, nor is there any surefire reported dll or driver which seems to be sticking out.
    - I have attempted 3-4 installs from scratch without resolve.
    Other then these issues, if its booted and doesn't crash, the o/s is quite peppy (faster then w7 by a fair degree) and the UltraNav touchpad works quite well with navigating Metro and various Charms.
    Have a Mini Series 3 dock which works well (although it has its issues i'll post up elsewhere) and switches between docked and normal usage with ease.
    I have since reverted back to Windows 7 until I can find something promising to work with as the lack of support resources is understandably limited at this point.
    I cannot develop for Windows 8 or Windows Phone 8 without upgrading or buying a new system. I've been quite happy with my W520 but this is just frustrating and would rather not move to another mftr if I don't have to.
    My question:
    >>> Has anyone successfully installed and run Windows 8 Pro without issue?
    >>> If so, can you please provide me with what releases/versions of the drivers you are running and what BIOS version you are running.
    Any suggestions or sources would be immensely helpful in my quest to get W8 somewhat usable on this beast.
    Thanks in advance!

    BSOD on resume:
    Happened to a W530 with Crucial m4 mSATA SSD. It turned out that it would happen if the drive is password-protected. After removing the password in BIOS Setup, there's no more BSOD on resume.
    So, thusfar, no BSODs on resume. I still have to install the rest of the drivers but at this point, no BSOD since fresh install early this morning. I only have the single Intel 320 SSD in my SATA bay, no mSata drive as of yet. Additionally, I do not have a HDD password. I use the BIOS password w/ fingerprint authentication though.
    Post-install, Windows had installed whatever drivers it felt were necessary. After that finished, I had installed Lenovo System Update and went through its update procedure. I elected to install all but:
    - ThinkVantage Active Protection (I have SSD, not necessary)
    - Audio Driver for Windows 832/864 (Sound works, reports as High Definition Audio Device - I am investigating option for Dolby driver as I had setup in Windows 7 as per W520 Sound Enhancement thread)
    - Ricoh Media Card Reader Device (only used a handful of times in the past, will find some cards to test)
    Outstanding issues:
    - Device Manager reports two non-install devices (Base System Device and Unknown Device).
      - Base System Device hardware ID is: NTPNP_PC <-- I don't know what this is, any ideas?
      - Unknown Device hardware ID is: ACPI/LEN   <-- I assume intel chipset since I had already installed Power Management driver via System Update?
    - Update other Windows standard drivers to Lenovo Windows 8 releases
    - Update NVidia Drivers to latest release/verde (maybe depending on video performance)
    - Setup Fingerprint software in Windows 8 to match that of the BIOS as right now, no fingerprint auth in Win8
    - Install Development software, Hyper-v once I have everything else settled
    - Anything else I'm forgetting?
    Without jumping the gun, it seems as installing using UEFI fixed a few critical reliability problems (VT-d, boot, etc.). Try that if you're having severe stability issues.

  • How do i get sound from macbook internal speakers? need sound settings help

    hi,
    i have installed service pack 3 on bootcamp on new macbook.
    i cant get any sound with all my audio applications, even windows media player. i can see the levels and audio files playing within the software (soundforge, wavelab, cubase etc) but cant get any sound to come out the macbook internal speakers........
    ive tried all the available audio driver settings from within the apps.
    ive checked the sound controls menu from my system tray...all the volume faders are full, unmuted.
    theres a realteck or something like that, control panel......i think realtek is the internal sound funtion of my windows xp......
    anyone help?
    (ive updated bootamp to 2.1 with software updater..... ive intalled the bootcamp drivers from my leopard install dvd....)

  • Adobe Pro 8.0 Mac to Windows Font Issue

    Here is my dilemma: We have a fillable form created in Acrobat Pro 8.0 on a Mac. It is sent to a Windows Vista (Acrobat Reader) user who then fills it, saves it and sends it to a Windows XP user (again using reader). When the XP user opens it, the characters are all changed to dots. If it is sent to another Vista user, it is fine. To me, it sounds like a font issue. Can someone give me some insight on how we might go about fixing the issue? Thanks.

    How do I check to see where the fonts are embeded? Originally the form was created in MAC InDesign then imported into Acrobat to insert the fillable fields. Our grpahics person is not sure where to check the settings in Acrobat. Thanks again.

  • Hp probook 5310m no sound in windows 7.

    hp probook 5310m no sound in windows 7. did i must install micosoft uaa just like in windows xp ?

    Hello,
    I purchased my HP Pavilion P6205UK Desktop on December 28th 2009.
    Early into January, my sound just cut out. No explanation of why, either.
    I'm running Windows 7.
    I've changed settings in the BIOS.
    I've tried to install the latest drivers from both HP and Realtek.
    I'm at the end of my tether, I'm going to throw this out the window if it doesn't get fixed.
    Help, please?
    I should add that the output device is my monitor, a HP 2009v.
