Computer Forgets Audio Settings

Hello,
I am a new user to this forum and I have a problem that I need help with. When ever I restart or shut down my computer my creative audio control panel along with creative console launcher software forgets all of its prior settings of being set to 5. audio and reverts back to the default settings of stereo sound along with every other setting I have set. For some reason the creative software will not save my setting when I restart or shut down my computer but if I put my computer to sleep it will remember them. This is very frustrating because I always have to manually change my setting back which is tedious and time consuming. I searched the creative website for help support, the internet, and even talked to customer support, and was not able to find a solution. If you guys have any solutions that would be greatly appreciated. Please help, thanks.
My specs are Vista Home 64 bit along with the proper creative drivers for the xfi xtreme music sound card.

The above links will take you to a comprehensi've pack of updates and drivers created by a user which incorporates all current fixes for the Creative Applications and drivers. It sounds like your Console Launcher is not linking to the Windows Control Panel and retaining 5. over 2. stereo. Console Launcher and the newest drivers work quite well for me. The originals off of the CD did not.

Is there a way to create a project with custom audio settings that are NOT only "Stereo" or "Surround"?

Thanks!

the old apps are on my computer but they have had upgrades since they were put on the ipod originally. you think you would get a warning about this when you restored. I was not worried about losing the progress of the apps but i would have been worried about the app it self!!!!!

Dolby audio settings for Lumia 520

As every nokia Lumia windows phone 8 device has a Dolby audio settings with a equalizer in the settings menu, there are presets and a
custom one. This is not available in Lumia 520. This is utter discrimination,just because it is a low end Lumia device. If Nokia didn't want to give us Dolby audio settings, then why show a audio menu like in other devices and when we open its blank. This is teasing us. They shouldn't have put the audio settings in the settings menu for Lumia 520. Firmware. This is very bad nokia. Either update the firmware by removing audio from the settings or just give Lumia 520 users a equalizer. All the devices have the same chipset 520,720,620. A qualcom msm8227 with 2 krait cores and same adreno 305 gpu. But 520 doesn't have the equalizer , the other devices do have it. I expect a. Prompt reply. Nokia.

I am so disappointed with the way this lumia 520 turned out to be. There is no speed dial function, when even typing the numbers you have to type it,fully without the phone giving suggestions. There is no means to go forwards when using internet explorer, and you cannot set personal ringtones unless you use a computer or an app that does that. It is so messed up and uncool. I just hope all these are corrected in the amber update, speaking of which we don't even know when it would be released.

Audio Settings are ignored on export to SWF in Captivate 4. Advice?

Background: Project is a 1-hour, spoken-word PowerPoint slide presentation, about 60 slides, about 1 min each. Audio has been split into one CD-quality, mono .wav file for import to each slide. All clips are excerpts from the same, full-length .wav file. Nothing fancy, no captions, animations, etc. Just one dog and one pony in this show. Using fully updated version of Captivate 4.
Problem: Upon export to SWF, any changes I make to the audio quality settings do not take. That is, I still get a huge SWF file with full CD quality sound. SWF file size is ~47MB. Should be closer to ~25MB or even less at my target quality of 11kHz, 24kbps.
What I've tried: I have adjusted both the Audio Settings for the project, as well as the SWF Size and Quality settings (in the Preferences dialog box, Project category) by alternately selecting "Low" or unchecking the "Retain slide quality settings" box, then synchronizing the settings with the settings in the Audio Settings. I have also tried selecting and unselecting all SWF compression options.
I have tested this on two computers, one XP Pro, the other Vista Home Premium 64-bit. Both Captivate installations are fully updated. Same results on both.
Things that make me go "Hmm": I can create a Captivate project with one slide as a test and achieve full flexibility of audio kHz and kbps upon export to SWF; that is, it works just like I want. However, as soon as I add a second slide, my export quality reverts to full CD-quality. I've even tried this with an extremely simple project with no PowerPoint slide, no skin, just blank white slides. So, I do not think it is an issue connected to some other aspect of the project in question.
So... Is this a bug? The odd thing is that this process has worked in the past. It seems that it has suddenly become a problem. If it were on only one computer, I would reinstall, but given the same outcome on two very different computers, it seems very unlikely that the same quirk has materialized in both.
Advice? Thanks. -Steve

Hi Steve,
This is a long shot, but you could try copying and pasting all of your slides into a new instance of Captivate. If you have specified certain audio settings Captivate should pick these up when you export. If not then it is possible that your CP file has become corrupted.
If that doesn't work, please file a bug report using the web address I have included below.
Adobe Captivate Feature Request/Bug Report Form
It would be interesting to see if the CP team can shed any light on why this is happening.

Audio Settings Issues

Hey there,
Recently, I've updated my skype to latest version i.e. 6.21 and unfortunatley there are some audio problem. When I try to test my Speakers in "Audio Settings" by clicking play button, it take almost 10 seconds to play the sound. And the same issue is with Microphone, in audion settings, when I speak in mic, it take almost 7-10 seconds to respond. Also this version of skype is pretty slow as compared to older version. Here, I wanna mension that, there's no issue with my computer or the internet, both working just fine. Second thing I wanna ask, why there's no option to clear chat and call histroy.
Thanks

Please help, that audio issues are irritating me.

Windows 8 / IE11 forget proxy settings applied by GPO on reboot

I've just about run out of ideas here on what may be causing this. I've toyed with policies quite often, but never ran into this problem before.
Windows 8 with IE11. While there are GPO's active on the system, the settings are kept free to alter by the user if need be. We use a proxy, so I'm required to provide the proxy and the exceptions in a policy to the PC's to make sure they work under normal
conditions. I added a couple of settings in the GPP (Group Policy Preferences) with the correct settings, enabled these settings (green lines) and tested these on a test system. They work fine, I get my proxy settings pushed through.
Then we get to the rollout on the systems that are affected (not that many, just 10 accounts total, all in nearby rooms). I can run a gpupdate /force to reload the settings, and can confirm the proxy settings are applied properly. So the policy itself seems
sound also on the workplaces it needs to be active on. Users still have the option to change the proxy settings on their own discretion, but that's exactly what we want to happen.
Now we run into the problem that when part of these PC's are rebooted, the PC somehow seems to decide the proxy isn't worth its time anymore, and kills all settings for the proxy back to default. Either that, or it just switches the proxy off. Running a
gpupdate /force reapplies the policy and everything starts working again, but WHY is Windows 8 / IE11 adament about forgetting these settings?
The really maddening thing is that on a couple of PC's with Windows 8 and IE11 (and the same policies applied) it isn't a problem and the proxy remains filled in, as I would expect from GPO's. These include my test system, which makes me unable to replicate
the problem and test locally.
I've tried enhancing the policy with using a forced wait for the network to become available) aswell as a forced logonscript run on boot instead the standard 'after 5 minutes'. Find these under 'Computer Configuration - Policy - Administrative Templates
- System - Logon' and 'Computer Configuration - Policy - Administrative Templates - System - Group Policy'. Neither setting seems to work tho. I've also tried going with a Computer Configuration Startup script in which I just request to run 'gpupdate' with
the '/force' as the switches. But this also seems not to do anything.
In short: Does anyone know why Windows 8 / IE11 falls back to something outside the scope of policies, while it accepts the forced policy update with the correct settings when 'gpupdate /force' is issued manually afterwards? And has anyone any idea what
I can do to make sure the policy is applied regardless of what Windows 8 / IE11 thinks it should be?

Just had a go with that... Found out that when I login and refresh the polciy using gpupdate /force, the proxy settings are filled in properly.
Once I reboot tho, the proxy switches itself off (the entries regarding the proxyname and such remain, as does the 'bypass for local addresses, but it's all grayed out). Once I switch the proxy back on, and check under 'Advanced', I find everything in order,
except for the exclusion list which is emptied.
So I forced the gpupdate, verified that the proxy was switched on, and the exclusion list was populated. I then restarted the PC, only to find that above situation (proxy switched off, and exclusionlist empty) had reasserted itself.
Waited a bit and did a forced policy update again. Then verified the logged files (which was just User.txt).
After anonymizing the output a bit, I copied the contents to
http://pastebin.com/YyWswW83 for your review. It looks like it contains 3 batches of GP updates.
The one at 13:20 is likely the primary one in which I forced the GPUpdate. The one at 13:22 is the one issued on the restart of the computer, while the one at 13:24 is the (once again) forced gpupdate.
From my understanding it seems as if the no-change of GPO detection works, but also causes it to skip the policy. Tho I admit that's speculation on my part. Any and all light you (or anyone else) may be able to shine on this, will be greatly appreciated.

About AUDIO SETTINGS

Hello friends....
I encountered a problem with audio settings when iam working with my voice mail project.
For AudioFormat class, in setAudioFormat method i have given parameters like...(8000.0F,8,1,true,true)
i.e 8000 sample/second, 8 bits/sample, 1 single channel , stereo sound is true ......like that
Its working very fine in windows environment....but when ever i tried to wootk in linux or unix environment....its giving the "Illegal Arguement Exception" for the given parameters....
My doubt is are the parameters different for linux environment???
thank you all

SteveH59
No. My post was not deleted by any of the forum moderators. No hot stuff. That was me who deleted since I saw that Steve Grisetti had already replied, and I did not want to interfere with the communication between the two of you.
I did not keep a copy of that post that I deleted. Since you found the post of interest, if I get a copy of it in my email, I will do a copy/paste into this thread.
My recollection is that the post
a. had a link to an article on Audio Bitrate
http://lifehacker.com/5810575/does-bitrate-really-make-a-difference-in-my-music
b. mentioned how to set Bitrate Settings for Publish+Share/Computer/Audio under the Advanced Button/Audio Tab of the preset selected
c. mentioned about Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime, although I did not find a set for audio bitrate, I found that with AAC codec, the end product did have a bitrate of 128 kbps.
When dealing with this bitrate units, keep in mind that Kbps and kbps are the same kilobits per second. If you had KBps, that would be kilobytes per second.
Sorry for the confusion that I created in trying to avoid confusion.
I am not clear on why you are not going from Timeline to Publish+Share/Disc/DVD disc instead of seeking a QuickTime file and then your DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc.
Please supply more details if you decide you need more information on this.
Thanks.

IMac forgets Network settings.

I'm running two Macs -- an iMac and a Mac Mini -- networked through Airport Extreme and a cable router to the Internet.
Whenever a user on one on one of the computers logs off, the network connection is dropped. The computer forgets it's on an Airport connection, and I have to use diagnostics or the network pane of System Preferences to reconnect. Even if I "lock" the settings in the bottom left corner of the network pane, the network setup is forgotten if the user logs out and comes back, of if users switch among themselves (and the lock is magically unlocked).
This behavior is new. It had been maintaining the Internet connection regardless of user changes until just a couple of weeks ago.
Any suggestions will be welcome.
Thank you.

Wow! This si exactly the topic I was looking for!
As it happens, I've been having the exact same problem for a while now.
My iMac very regularly "forgets" its setting and when I use diagnostic to sort the problem out, it then warns me that my settings have been modified. Even when I click on the padlock, it makes no difference. As a matter of fact, I sometimes find the padlock has "unlocked itself" which I find somewhat worrying to be honest.
What is funny is that if I start up the iMac with the screen where you choose the user, or une another user, it works fine, so I'm guessing there is something in my personal user file and/or settings causing this.
This was a problem back on Tiger and has just reappeared under Leopard.
On the other hand, my old iBook has never had even the merest hint of a problem and happily connects everytime without fail.
So any hep would be hugely appreciated.
Cheers

Hi i upgrade from lion to mountain lion to day on my mini mac,Since the upgrade i am getting no sound through my HDMI cable which was working fine on lion Checked the midi audio settings and system preferences to out on HDMi nothing no sound whats so ever

Hi i upgraded from lion to mountain lion to day on my mini mac,Since the upgrade i am no longer getting sound through my HDMI cable which was working fine on lion Checked the midi audio settings and system preferences to out on HDMi nothing no sound whats so ever.Any one any ideas?
I use a samsung TV for my monitor via HDMI.Tried all the system Audi setting nothing .Head phone and internal speakers are fine.

Similar issue; Audio was working fine on Lion, now not on Mountain Lion. Have a Macbook Pro early 2011 with AMD Radeon HD 6750M, connected by thunderbolt through a Lacie LBD to a mini-displayport to HDMI adapter (n.b. same problem when not going through the LBD) to a Pioneer VSX 521 AV receiver. For me when I go into audio Midi settings all the volume sliders for the displayport device are greyed out and at zero. But when I click 'configure speakers', it's able to send out the test signals to each speaker. Part of the problem could be that I'm not getting the option to put out 6channel sound, only 2 or 8 channel. Since my system is Dolby 5.1, and I only have 6 speakers, I would have expected the 6ch option to be available. But I imagine there's more to it than that. Elsewhere someone has suggested playing with Remote Interactive over HD on an Onkyo device; I'll see if there's something similar on the Pioneer that can be changed. Any other suggestions welcome.

After Restoring your computer to Factory Settings How do you restore backups from Time Machine? Help!

I have Restored my Computer to Factory Settings and Now I'm trying to restore the backups from my Time Matchine. I've already done the Migration Assistant things. But I dont know where to find my details or where my files are.
Everything is in different spots then where it was when i started this process.
HELP

Restoring from Time Machine and using Migration Assistant are either/or options... either restore from a Time Machine backup or restore by using Migration Assitant. You don't write which version of OS X you're running, so it's kind of difficult to tell you where to begin (or start over).
If you're running Lion or Mountain Lion, I would boot into the Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys whilst booting) and use Disk Utility to erase your boot volume. Then, with your TM drive connected, restore your latest backup to your newly formatted volume. You can do the same by using the installation disc that has Snow Leopard on it, just with a few extra steps.
See http://www.pondini.org/TM/14.html.
Good luck,

I recently reset my computer to factory settings. I re-downloaded iTunes, but lost most of my music and all of my playlists in both iTunes and my 4S. How can I get this back?

Restore your media from the backup of the computer created prior to restoring the computer.
You did create a backup, correct? Not doing so would be extremely unintelligent.
iOS devices are NOT backup devices.

I had to restore my computer to factory settings. It wiped out my itunes and it was not backed up. How do I get the music, including music I did not buy from itunes back on computer?

Assuming the music is sitting on your iPod, try Detune:

Just be careful that you don't allow the "empty" iTunes to wipe your ipod.

I have backed my iTunes with over 10,000 songs on a hard drive and than i reset my computer to factory settings, when i put it back on my macbook pro only 2030 were able to be downloaded back to the same computer

i have backed my iTunes with over 10,000 songs on a hard drive and than i reset my computer to factory settings because my email was hacked, when i downloaded the music back to my macbook pro only 2030 were able to be downloaded . how can i download all my music back?
michel p.

I usually err on the sideof caution when someone says "downloaded" and take it to mean anything fro actually downloaded, to copies, to imported, to moved (frolder to folder), but even if they were "downloaded"... if the old email was hacked, and subseuqently closed out, that leaves the downloaded files "orphaned" if you will, belonging to the old ID. So, while they may be on the HD, they're inaccessible now.
One of the biggest reasons I NEVER keep anything in my library with DRM employed in it. I bought it. I own it. I'm not going to get locked out of it.

I installed lion from the internet, i wanted all the stuff on it erased but it didnt do it, how do i get my computer to factory settings so it is like it was new just with a fresh copy of lion on it

Music is not included in the backup (and nor are films or tv shows), only the contents of third-party apps are included. Did you not do File > Transfer Purchases when connected to your computer's iTunes to copy your iTunes purchases over, and/or have you not got a backup copy of your music somewhere e.g. on an external drive ?
