Connecting Live!Value to GD580 - issue with DTS 5.1 audio

I connected my Li've! Value?through the digital out connection to the coaxial input of GD580. According to this: http://forums.creative.com/creativel...message.id=270, everything should be fine, I should get surround sound on proper source, and I nearly achi'ved that, except for one irritating issue with the DTS 5. Audio.
When I pass through the DTS 5. signal to the GD580, cracking sound would be heard, and the GD580 intermittently recognises the signal as DTS in a second, and loses it in the next, making intermittent sounds. This happens to some of the DTS audio that has a bitrate equivalent to or higher than 500kbit/s.
For other DTS that is below 900kbit/s, the sound is clean, 5.. Sorry, I don't have anything?between 900 and 500 kbit/s to test.
Now, when I let the software decode the DTS itself to LPCM, the sound is clean again, as clean as heaven, but it is no longer surround - only stereo as picked up by the GD580 decoder.
To make it more confusing, AC3 signals work great, without the need to decode within the computer domain, and is surround on the speakers side. I have to admit, though, that most AC3 I have is below 700kbit /s
Please anyone having solved this issue before, help me. I want to hear DTS5. surround on my GD580 - it has only this SPDIF connection for surround, the other input is STEREO only.
Could the problem be attributed to Li've!Value or GD580 not being able to handle high bitrate data stream?
Thanks a ton, Creative lover folks

If you can find a 0-pin socket on Li've! card board, then you can connet your card output internally to the case audio/mic ports by following instructions given @ http://audigy2zshowto.blogspot.com/
NOTE: pin orde may be different on Li've! (instructions are for Audigy 2 Zs, but works well least w/ Audigy 2 card too (I have done this)).

E2100L Cisco Connect and Network Magic compatibility issues with Mac OS X 10.7 Lion

When you will release the latest version for Wireless router Linksys E2100L?, because I bought a MAC with Lion and I can´t use my Router.
Regards,
Daniel

Older versions of Cisco Connect for Mac computers have compatibility issues with the latest release of Mac OS X (10.7 “Lion”). Only Cisco Connect versions 1.4.11222 and newer are compatible with the Lion operating system.
Here is the link to ensure that Cisco Connect can be installed on your Mac: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=a4e763be954243cfa0ab960c0fac7105_KB_23xxx_EN_v1.xm...
There is no such information about the release of Cisco Connect for E2100L for the Mac OS X (10.7 “Lion”) compatibility, so you need to wait for further release of the firmrware for E2100L.

Unity Connection 8.5.1 MWI issue with French Locale

Hi There,
I am experiencing issues with MWI while using french locale on CUC 8.5.1. While, it works perfectly fine with English (US).
CUCM version is 8.0.3. Any ideas will be much appreciated.

Issues with BBC website video + Audio

I've been having issues using the video and audio content on the BBC website for a few months, it's started to get really annoying so I thought I would ask and see if anyone has a solution.
First I have uninstalled and reinstalled Flash, repaired permissions, updated Safari, Firefox, Chrome, repaired permissions, deleted prefs, basically done everything from a system point that I can think of.
I'm still having a problem of the video and audio locking up the browser and taking AGES to actually display. I've done a video for it to show what I mean:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzFw3qqKADc&hd=1
The first part where I view the video story is actually not 'too' bad, still on the slow side but that's rare, keep watching and you'll see how slow it is!
It's very annoying because not only does it take ages to load, the browser just totally locks up, so there's not much chance of doing anything else, it's just slows right down. This actually happens in any browser I try. (I think in the video it was Firefox but that's just because of what I was using at the time, same goes for Safari)
I created a new user account and it's actually fine in that so there must be a conflict somewhere in my system, I'm just not sure how to resolve it.
Any solutions or thoughts?

It seems to take too long to buffer. How much free space do you have on your hard drive?
Do you have any third-party add-ons or enhancers installed?
As for general browser slowness:
If Safari is getting very slow:
Adding Open DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security:
If you are using a single computer: Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2296
If your computer is part of a network: please refer to this page: http://www.opendns.com/start/bestpractices/#yournetwork and follow the advice given.
You could also try these codes as well: 4.2.2.1 & 4.2.2.2
If you use a Router, make sure it has the latest firmware installed.
One reason for a slowness in page loading may be the 'DNS Pre-fetching' feature of Safari 5.x
This is described here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3408?viewlocale=en_US
If Safari seems to hang for ages:
If you have a lot of tabs open and/or a lot of pages running Flash, Safari can sometimes 'hang', requiring a restart of Safari. This can often be inconvenient, and as it is rarely Safari itself that is hanging but merely one of its plug-ins, usually Flash, there is a way using Terminal to restart the plug-ins (without restarting Safari and losing your tabs) by quitting the WebPluginHost process:
Open the Terminal from the Utilities folder in /Applications and type
killall -9 WebKitPluginHost
Note that this command kills all Safari plug-ins, not just Flash. All plug-ins should start back up when you reload the page.
Then go back to Safari and refresh any pages that were using the Flash plug-in. This also fixes the Beachball of Death. Try this whenever Safari gets slow or freezes. The latest versions of Flash 10.1 appear to have improved the situation somewhat, but haven't completed eliminated it.

Macbook will not connect to wifi, an environmental issue with wifi?

Macbook running OSX 10.85 will not connect to wifi, Apple support thinks it could be an environmental issue. Am connected to wifi right now in recovery mode. Has this happened to anyone else? What did you do to correct the issue? Also, 2 iPhones and an iPad connect without issues.

Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Take all the applicable steps in this support article. If you're running OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and take the remedial steps suggested in the summary that appears, if any. The program also generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
Step 2
Run Software Update and install all available updates for OS X or your computer's firmware.
Step 3
If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. Continue if you find that Wi-Fi is faster with Bluetooth disabled.
From that same menu, select Open Bluetooth Preferences. If the box labeled Discoverable is checked, uncheck it. Click the Advanced button, and in the sheet that opens, uncheck the top three boxes, if any are checked. Click OK. Enable Bluetooth and test again.
If the application called "Bluetooth Setup Assistant" is running, quit it. Note: this is not applicable to OS X 10.9 or later.
Step 4
This step will erase all your settings in the Network preference pane. Make a note of them before you begin, and recreate them afterwards. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the preference pane.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "SystemConfiguration" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 6
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional — ask if you need guidance.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

10.5.8 connecting to 2008 R2 SBS issues with folders

Hey,
I hope someone might be able to help.
We have a company currently using Windows Small Business Server 2008 R2 that have about 20 mac's connecting to a shared drive using a single user login.
The problem we have is users copy files from there desktop but the permissions don't replicate on the files / folders on the server. Also when connected to a 2nd share point on the same server with the same user name and password they cannot copy / move their original folder. If you try to move these folders using Administrator on the server it states you don't have permissions and you can't enforce them either! When files do copy it copy's all the files and directory's but leaves folders in the original folder. (Which cannot be deleted, no permissions)
We have been looking at doing AD Binding to see if permissions could be resolved this way. any help would be great.

Upgrading to OS X 10.6 is straight forward. You'll need 1GB of memory and some disk space for the upgrade. You need to buy on OS X 10.6 DVD to perform the upgrade, it's not available by download. You can call the online Apple store in Australia at 133-622 and should be able to order it from them (same as in the US). After you install it, run Software Update several times, and you'll end up at OS X 10.6.8. Of course make a backup of the system before the update.
Beyond the minimum memory to run OS X 10.6, you probably already know that Adobe recommends 4GB to 16GB of memory for the CS6 products for best performance.

Big issues with Macbook and usb audio interfaces (solved) kinda

Apple has some sought of timeout on the keyboard/trackpad after about 10 seconds, when you go to use it again, it kind of surges the usb port so if you have a usb sound card plugged into the port that is sharing the keyboard/trackpad, you hear a popping noise. the full thread is below and has been archived for some reason so i cant add to it. ANYWAY, another driver called sidetrack 1.5 fixes this issue by not having a timeout coded into it. you can download it from ragingmenace.com

I just bought MBP C2D, hi everyone Scratch Live users!
Anyway, I tested for 3 days and no USB dropout was found. I just noticed a little freezing on the virtual decks, when I change the songs (the audio was still running).
My set up is:
- SSL USB connect to the side of the Firewire port (right side)
- USB buffer is 2ms on SSL(Tried 1ms for 2 days with yellow USB sign on, 0ms is impossible for Mac, I dont know y!!!)
- 1 Gig Ram (used 512 Mb for test on 1st 2 days, no problem was found)
- USB HD (I stored all the song in USB HD) which connect on the left USB port
Hope its helpful and look forward for further test comments.

Issues with embedding QuickTime for audio

Two issues when playing audio files via a web browser (tried with Chrome and IE8):
If I use wmode=transparent the control buttons are not shown, only the progress bar. When I removed wmode=transparent it worked fine. Is this correct behavior?
Some browsers still invoke the embed part instead of the object part. I thought all browsers used object now.
Here's the markup I now generate (in PHP):
$output .= "<object classid=clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B codebase=http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab>";
$output .= "<param name=src value='" . $url . "' />";
$output .= "<param name=autoplay value=false />";
$output .= "<param name=controller value=true />";
$output .= "<param name=bgcolor value=FFFFFF />";
$output .= "<embed src='" . $url . "' autoplay=false controller=true bgcolor=FFFFFF pluginspage=http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/>";
$output .= "</embed>";
$output .= "</object> ";

Anders

Monitoring Issue with firewire device (M-Audio) HELP

Essentially I am trying to hear my music track while recording live audio. I'm using my M-Audio Firewire 410 with Soundtrack Pro. This device seems to work fine with FCP, but in STP I am unable to monitor properly. I am getting input fine, but am not getting output into my firewire device. (I have selected this device as my output device, therefore STP does recognize it)
I have updated drivers. I'm running the new 5.x crossgrade on Tiger. What am I doing wrong? I've toggled every button possible!
JCB123

When you are going to record, the Recording panel pops up (with the level meter, etc). Make sure that, in the Monitor section, the correct soundcard is selected and the "Mute Project" button is not selected. That should solve it.

Issue with Random Blocks of Audio disappearing from Timeline

I am having a problem with seemingly random blocks of audio tracks disappearing from my edit. I will be scrolling through somewhere I haven't worked on or even looked at, in a few hours or days, and I'll be missing chunks of audio. At first I thought I was just losing my mind, but I can see that transitions that I've tacked on at the ends to fade in/out are still there in their "storylines", just floating by themselves. Its almost like they were just straight up deleted by hand. But I know that I didn't do any such thing. So, what is going on? This isn't the first time its happened, and its impossible to know when it does, so I could end up losing hours of work reverting to a backup. But it is equally frustrating (slowly) flicking back and forth between two projects to copy the audio tracks back every few days. It also mostly seems to happen on audio with transitions/crossfades, but I have found a few places where it has just been reduced to 1 frame. Weird.
I am working on a fairly complex film about 45 minutes in length, with compound clips of synced interviews cut up in the "Main" storyline, then with action shots and info stacked on top, and some 1-3 minute music tracks and video-less narrations below. Working on a 5 month old MBP, 10.9.5, 16gb ram, everything's up to date
I just need this to stop happening is the main thing. What can I do about it? It is very frustrating that these bugs are still popping up all the time. Not a thing that should be expected from a "pro" application.
Thanks for any insight.
Screen Shot below is example: you can see where 4blocks have been deleted, just leaving the crossfades hanging. Extremely annoying, and time wasting.

This is a user forum. I have not seen the issue you describe before.

Sound Playback Issue with IDT High Definition Audio Codec HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC

Since i bought this laptop, every time i use skype or the Windows Sound Recorder, i hear static that drastically increases in volume. Uninstalling the IDT High Definition Audio Codec prompts my computer to automatically install the driver again, this usually fixes the problem, but after restarting my laptop, the problem returns.
Does anyone know a permanent fix to this issue?
Product name: HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC
Product number: B3K22PA#ABG

Hi,
Please try:
(a) Uninstall IDT sound from Device Manager,
(b) Reboot the machine
(c) Download the following package and install again:

Freezing issues with AE CS3 (Scrubbing Audio & Video, Rendering)

I have a Mac Pro 8 core 2.8 (Jan 2008), 6GB Ram, Mac OS 10.5.2 (Clean Install), AE 8.0.2, QT 7.4.1, ATI Radeon 2600...
I can scrub video by dragging the now line, but when I hold down the command key to scrub audio and video, After Effects saves a copy and freezes up every time... Doesn't matter sd or hd comps... I've tried removing both AE and QT plug ins & Codecs to see if any were bad... I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling...
Not sure if this is related, but After Effects also saves a copy and freezes up whenever it finishes rendering a composition...
Aside from that everything else works fine, so I can get work done, just slows down the workflow a bit...
Never had problems with AE CS3 on my Dual G5/Tiger, Though I'm not sure what I need to do settingswise on Intel/Leopard... Any suggestions would be appreciated...

First of all I want to thank Jonas and Mylenium for your suggestions... Sorry I couldn't get back to you sooner, but I had a few deadlines to meet this week...
I tried both suggestions... I was still getting crashes...
Just an hour ago, I figured out the problem... I also have a MOTU 828 firewire audio interface plugged in, and it was set to output After Effects audio... as soon as I turned it off, I could monitor scrubbing audio, and I was able to render without crashes...
I'm assuming that anytime After Effects would send audio to the 828, it would crash (including the chime after rendering)... I never had this problem before with my G5/Tiger setup, so I never considered it... I guess thats where I should have started in the first place... In the meantime, I'll have to bring this bug to the attention of MOTU and see if they can figure it out in their driver...
Thanks again guys!

Sync issues with Thunderbolt drives

I'm checking to see if there are any sync issues with Mac Book Pros pre-Retina screen.
I have a (13-inch, Mid 2012) 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 Mac Book Pro and I'm having some sync/latency issues with a number of audio interfaces, including a Symphony I/O and a MBox Mini 2.
I'm editing with Final Cut Pro 7. Mavericks OS 10.9.5. It's also happening with QT 10.3.
I'm using a Thunderbridge with the Symphony I/O and the USB port for the MBox Mini 2, but it has the same issue. I'm trying to get the registration number for my Pro App version of QT 7 because QT 10 is having some issues with a few arcane video formats. Is that possible? I can't retrieve the email because the computer that might have it is long dead, and buried in storage.
configuration:
Mac Book Pro to
G RAID Studio (via Thunderbolt) to
(Apogee Symphony I/O Thunderbridge)
1080P monitor (via Belkin Mini Display port to HDMI cable)
or MBox mini via USB
Both of these setups have sync issues. I have rigged a 1/8" stereo plug out of the headphone output and except for the occasional deafening buzz when you touch the adapter, it works okay, with no seeming sync issues.
Is this a thing? I understand that there is an issue with Symphony I/Os and certain Haswell Mac USB 3.0 ports.

Hi,
Yes, I apologize. The video editor wasn't giving me any details. I did see the 44.1/48khz issue online. So will this happen only if both are mixed in the same timeline?
Thanks

HT6030 Sound output issue with Mavericks

There is a sound output issue with Mavericks and Firewire800 Audio devices. I am using a MIO 2882 but now people are having issues with other devices as well. Is this something that will be addressed in an update? If not I will need to downgrade my OS.

maybe the adapter went bad.....fast. try getting one thats made by sony. or apple. i have had bad luck with some cheap products i bought.
or maybe thats the brand you have ad luck with. i remember when i use to get some quantom fireball drives, and they just died on me the next week. im down to two and keeping a good eye on them. especially fujitsu. the only ones i have GREAT LUCK with are Seagate and Western digitals drives.
