Creative utilities cannot detect audio devi

Greetings,
I have been using my Audigy 2 ZS for over a year now with little trouble but now for some reason I can't access my speaker settings, volume control, audio mixer, ect? When I attempt to access them I get the following error:
The audio device supported by this application is not detected. The application will exit.
I can hear sound and play all formats of audio and video that I have tested just fine. I tried to use the creative diagnostic program and it passed the hardware detection but failed everything else. When I clicked the begin fix button it said that the problem could not be fixed automatically and that I should re-install the software.
Device manager says that my card and its driver are functioning normally. I have removed the card in device manager, uninstalled all creative software and my card with the add/remove software app and then reinstalled just the card and the support software but it did no good.
Does anyone have any ideas about what the heck happened?

You can try this and hope it help you. Remove the sound card from the computer PCI slot and boot up the computer. Let Windows finish loading and register that there's no sound card and then have it shutdown. Slot back the sound card to the same PCI slot and boot the computer.

SB Xfi Xtremegamer...no sound, Audio Console doesnt detect audio devi

I recently did a fresh install of Windows XP MC edition 2005.
Now, among many other problems, Creative Audio Console won't start, saying it cannot find the audio device. I am getting no sound at all. Add Hardware says my card is installed and working properly. So? go to device manager, and there is an exclamation point next to Game Port for Creative and it says "this device cannot start" with a " Code 0".
I downloaded the latest Creative drivers when I did the install of XP because I dont have the original CD from the card which I bought about 6 months ago. The card worked fine until I did the fresh XP install and applied the latest drivers.
Any advice would be appreciated

Hmm, well, what's showing up in your Control Panel. There should be an Audio Console in there. Also, go to your add/remove programs. Is? anything creative showing up there? The? console that's included with the drivers is not the complete? console, it's very basic and not so great. Also, look at what card that console is showing up as. It's kind of an off-white rectangular box and will have tabs something like:
Device Information? Mode? Speakers? EAX Effects CMSS-3D Headphone Detection Restore Defaults?
If you're trying to access this? minimal console from your taskbar? there's a good chance you will get an error. I had it happen. The only way to access it is to go through the Control Panel.
I sent my computer in for a rebuild, they put an extrememusic in but did not install the software - just the drivers. An icon was in my taskbar, but I couldn't access it from there. I had to go in through the Control Panel. ? I have an XtremeGamer. In my control panel/Audio Console there it says SB X-Fi[9800] which even Creative support says is wrong, but no one has been able to fix it - not Creative, not the techs from the computer company. And in trying to get all the drivers/software uninstalled, it's either corrupted or disabled other programs that have nothing to do with Creative. I swear, their stuff is the AOL of soundcards. Leaves crap everywhere that's close to impossible to remove.
Also, check your DirectX version since you have done a reinstall. I'm grasping at straws here trying to think of what else could be the problem.
The only other suggestion I can make is to try contacting customer support and see if you can get a replacement installation CD. They really should have ALL the components needed for installing a card here on the site. CDs do get lost, they get scratched, broken, whatever.

Cannot play audio CD with Creative MediaSource Pla

Hi All,
I recently installed an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum soundcard and the Creative MediaSource Player software. I also purchased Creative 5. Analog speakers. Have everything configured pretty well now and really enjoying the enhanced sounds!
My problem is that I cannot play audio CDs using the MediaSource Player. I can see my DVD Player and CD Player in the MediaSource Player 'Source' column and a list of all the tracks on the CD. (no track info, just track numbers and length)
When I double-click on a track it cycles through all the tracks and then places an 'X' next to each one in the 'Now Playing' list window. If I have other music files from my harddri've available, it will start playing one of them.
I've tried different CDs with the same results.
I can use both the DVD and CD dri'ves to play an audio CD if I use any other player (Winamp, Windows Media Player, etc.) and use both dri'ves everyday for loading software and reading files. It will also read the demo DVD Audio disk that came with the card using the DVD-Audio player they provide so I'm pretty sure there's nothing wrong with the hardware or drivers.
I've read all the info that came with the card and on the Creative Web site and have been through every configuration screen multiple times but haven't found a switch that turns this feature on.
Would like to get this working so I can standardize on one player that allows me to use all the advanced features of my new card.
Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this.

A good way to see what kinds of things you might need for something like vlc is to look at the optional dependencies for the package. So if you do pacman -Qi vlc if the package is installed on your system already, or pacman -Si vlc if not yet installed, you can see in the output what kinds of optional dependencies there are. Typically there is a short description of the extra functionality that the optional dependency can provide as well.
So in the case of vlc (and the libcdio optional dep) I get:
$ pacman -Qi vlc
Name : vlc
<SNIP>
Optional Deps : avahi: for service discovery using bonjour protocol [installed]
<SNIP SOME MORE>
projectm: for ProjectM visualisation plugin
libcaca: for colored ASCII art video output [installed]

librsvg: for SVG plugin [installed]
gnome-vfs: for GNOME Virtual File System support
libgoom2: for libgoom plugin
vcdimager: navigate VCD with libvcdinfo [installed]
xosd: for xosd support
aalib: for ASCII art plugin [installed]
libmtp: for MTP devices support [installed]
smbclient: for SMB access plugin [installed]

Ive Downloaded both:

(Not 00% sure either of these drivers are the right thing for me sense when i type my model number into the driver search box it can't find it for some reason.)
I always get an error message that says "Setup cannot detect sound blaster audio device on your system.
Ive tried using Ctcomp with no luck
Does anyone have any idea on how to get my sound card to work?
Thanks in advance guys

You don't say what drivers your using.
2 threads to look at are http://forums.creative.com/creativel...ssage.id=25677 for drivers, and http://forums.creative.com/creativel...scending&page= for something that might help.You have a SB0228 according to that prefix.

When I purchase music through iTunes from my MacBook Pro, my iPhone 4 iTunes app cannot detect those purchase to allow them to download to my phone. If I open up the iTunes app and select "purchased > music > not on this iphone" it tells me "All of your available music has been downloaded to this device." However, my purchases are not yet downloaded to the iphone and not available to download. If I go to "purchased > music > all > recent purchases" it will show me the purchases that were most recent the last time I synced my phone, but not the purchases since then.
Any thoughts on how I can remedy this and make all of my purchased music available on my phone without requiring syncing?

So I have been searching the iStore for Airplay and I find lots of information about what it is, but nothing about how much it costs, how/where to buy it, etc.?
Fortunately, AirPlay does not cost anything as it is a streaming protocol used by Apple. Currently, the AirPort Express and Apple TV are AirPlay-ready. A number of other companies, like JBL, iHome, Denon and Klipsch are also rumored to be working on AirPlay versions of their products.
Your other option would be to get an AirPort Express and connect it to your Onkyo analog or optical digital audio input and stream from iTunes that way. I currently do this with my 10+ year old Harmon Kardon HT receiver.

Cannot detect the Airport network

Hi: Suddenly my Ti G4 cannot detect the airport basestation as my other computers can. Sometimes the airport signal is detected and after some time it disappears. I've tried to use the airport utilities from this computer and cannot detect the network. I removed the botom cover of my computer, and all connections seems to be OK. Checking the apple system profiler, shows the card installed but no network available. Is there any test to check if the card is broken? Is there something else to check?

Ditto on Henry's advice about swapping cards. My PB was having some intermittent problems with a new AEBS I bought. Then I was in Boston and the PB wireless was flaky. It would have a full signal, then drop instantly to zero, then come right back. Since there was an Apple store within 2 blocks, I went down there to troubleshoot. Interestingly, the Apple Store connection was perfect. But the tech swapped out my card and tested the old one. He said it was "starting" to go bad and suggested I get a new one. I did, and the hotel connection was fine. I sold my old card to another mac guy and it's been working perfectly with his home system.
Now a year later I'm in CA and the hotel wireless was flaky. Exact same symptoms. I had my electronics screwdrivers along (don't ask), so opened the case and checked all connections. Then I drove over to the Burlingame store and had no problems getting on their network.
I now think it's really a problem with the Hilton Family Hotels wireless routers. The cards seem to work perfectly elsewhere. Don't know why my home system was bad. So long story short, go bribe your local genius (if possible) and get them to check your card.
So long story

Creative Zen Nano Plus audio line-in recor

Im planning to buy Creative Zen Nano Plus GB.
. Does Creative Zen Nano Plus audio line-in recoreder offer excellent quality of sound music when you record a certain music through a CD player's line-in?
2. Please rate the quality of recorded sound music from to 0.
3. Does the recorded sound quality the same as when you just download the music file through your PC's USB connection?
thanks.

Is there something I need to set in the player to allow it to play out of it's line-in function?
You connected the ZNP's headphone out to your car|shelf|portable stereo's line-in, right? The line-in on the ZNP itself is only used to record external audio sources onto the player. The stereos may need to be set to play back from their line-inputs if they don't detect the signal and switch automatically, but that should be explained in the corresponding manuals.

As far as the *.avi files are concerned you could download an open source app called VideoLAN: VLC. You will find that it can handle just about every audio and video format available.

Creative software wont detect Hardware

I've been spending days and nights on this.
?OS : Windows 7 Home 64bit
?Sound card : X-fi Titanium Fatalty PCI express
After plugging in the card to the MB, Windows 7 detected a card there. downloaded generic sound drivers and called the card High Definition Audio Device or something of the sorts. Using the creative auto update prgram, it told me to download the Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Driver 2.7.0007. When installing, it would give me an error saying there is a more up to date driver installed already. I know that "HD audio Device" is not the most up to date drivers. I tried uninstalling the drivers then installing the creative one. Win7 constantly installs its own drivers over and over again. I have Home, so i cant use the group policy trick to turn off auto driver install. So i looked through the CD that came with the card and found a force overwrite driver install. Clicked it, Software installed just fine. Restarted windows, installed the latest card drivers perfectly fine. This took me about 3 hours. Not wanting to bang my head anymore i went to bed.
?The next day I hit the auto update and its wants me to download a bunch of these creative software packages. I only downloaded Creative Console Launcher 2.6.35, Creative Diagnostics 5..02. Both of these prgrams do not detect the card and will not start. I tried re-installing, starting it up in compatibility with vista, xp. Nothing. I did not want to delve deeper into this knowing i would spend hours non stop trying to figure this out.
?The next day Win7 updates tell me to install "Creative - Audio - Creative X-Fi Audio Processor (WDM)", Thinking that Win7 finally recognizes the card, i install. Now there is no system tray icon for audio and the drivers rolled back to 2.6.3? Along with this Win7 update, creative audio control panel was installed and also does not detect any sound device, yet sound is playing just fine and i can access the sound settings through the windows audio panel. I have downloaded Product Identification Module Update. Software stil does not detect sound card.
? Yes i have read through many other post across the forums. Sadly, they were lacking a lot of details. I will be updating this post realsing any new details i come across in trying to fix this issues. As to the main point behind this, I would like to know if there is a fix somewhere for my specific problem. That problem being, I am not able to use my soundcard to its full potential and i would like very much to.
## After Several registry cleanings and restarts, the tray icon is back again.
Using the "Creative System Information" program, it does in fact detect the correct hardware and drivers. If anyone would like to see the Creative System Information Report just ask and i'll send it.
### Experimenting with the software on the CD, the Creative Volume Panel works, and the AutoMode swticher works just fine. So why is it that these programs work and detect a souncard, but the others dont?

*Re: Creative software wont detect Hardware& The beat goes on. In searching the Creative web site, I couldn't find my web cam ?model listed and in the download area, it was written that if the model is not present, they no longer support it with updated drivers specifically for W-7 . I have two computers that I have tried to install the web cam on:
-one running 64 bit W-7. This one sees the mike and ear piece but not the video.(no green light on the camera); attempts to load the drivers from the disc that came with the camera failed.(Repeated several times)
-one running 32 bit W-7. This one sees the video camera which shows my face on the screen so it works; the audio for the ear piece and the mike can not be seen saying no sound card is present. We took some cards out ?from the original home entertainment model relating to tv and such?but the audio card function?should still be on the motherboard. This computer did run the web cam before in XP with all the extra cards present.
I think the systems?are using Realtek drivers.

Old MacBook Pro boots no further than the apple image and the ball spins aimlessly as if it cannot detect the hard drive

My old MacBook Pro displays the apple image on start up then hangs with the ball spinning continuously. Seems it cannot detect the hard drive. Can I start up holding down certain keys to bypass the problem. Running snow leopard and don't have a start up disk.

Try the procedures in this support article;
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570
You may also use the original install disk. When you get to the point where the menu bar shows on top of the display, select Utilities. The open Disk Utility from the drop down menu and try to repair the disk.
Ciao.

TS1538 Hi, I have the problem which iTunes cannot detect my iPhone 4s. I tried the steps you have provided in your troubleshooting, but it won't work for me because the Apple Mobile Devilce is perfectly installed on my windows.

Hi, I have the problem which iTunes cannot detect my iPhone 4s. I tried the steps you have provided in your troubleshooting, but it won't work for me because the Apple Mobile Devilce is perfectly installed on my windows. However, the driver "Microsoft teredo Tunneling adapter" has a yellow exclamation mark, which i believe means it's not installed correctly or something is wrong with it. This driver is under the Network Adapters (Please see picture below).
This is what happens when I connect my iPhone 4s to my laptop (Windows 7 Starter 32-bit)
1. The phone charges it's battery
2. I can open it in My Computer and import/export media files.
In iTunes
3. It start to sync until step 3 then stops.
4. The iPhone option with an arrow appears beside the iTunes Store, but when the arrow is clicked it disappears.
I hope you can provide me a solution for this problem.
Thanks,
Ralph

Hi ralphagir,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
For your iTunes issue with it not recognizing your iPhone, I would go ahead and suggest deleting iTunes and all of its components from your Windows computer and installing fresh.
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
Remove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
As far as the arrow button that you click and the iPhone disappears, it sounds like you may be clicking on the eject button. Please take a look at the following article for information on the eject button in iTunes.
Safely disconnect iPod

I cannot detect my wireless hp desk jet 3520 printer, I cannot detect my wireless hp desk jet 3520 printer

I cannot detect my wireless HP desk jet 3520 printer from my iPad?

I can't find an Arris router with that model number, are you sure it is not a TG862?
Regardless, Arris routers are known to either be incompatible with Bonjour or have problems with Bonjour packets hence Airprint will not work. Check with Arris' website and see if there is a firmware update availble for your router for Bonjour/Airprint compatibility and install it or switch out your router.

JMF-based applet can not detect audio devices on Vista (?)

Hi,
As many people reported, I encountered the same issue - CaptureDeviceManager.getDeviceList does not detect any audio device on IE/Vista.
Here is my testing environment:
HP XW4600, RealTek HD Audio onboard sound card,
Vista SP1 (Business, Home Premium, and Vista64)
JRE1.5.0_16, JMF2.1.1e
A recording Applet runs in IE7 (which works fine on XP and its Java application version always works fine on Vista)
I have tried a number of things without success:
1)Use different audio formats as the input parameter for getDeviceList
2)Try CaptureDeviceManager.getDevice(new String("DirectSoundCapture"))
3)CaptureDeviceInfo info = new CaptureDeviceInfo(com.sun.media.protocol.dsound.DataSource.NAME,new MediaLocator("dsound://"),null);
4) Vector devices = (Vector) CaptureDeviceManager.getDeviceList(null).clone();
5)Uncheck UAC(Vista User Access Control)
6)Set IE settings least restrictive
7)Try signed or unsigned recording Applet
8)Pack the recording Applet to a jar and deploy to JRE\lib\ext
9)Run JMFInit and copy the files in JMF\Lib to System32 folder
On a few occasions, audio devices can be detected. For examples,
10)Upgrading an HP XW4200 (XP machine with AC�97 codecs driver) to Vista,
11)1/5 chance on the machines with both Sun JRE and MS Java SDK installed.
12)Trying Item # 9. it worked once on one machine, but after rebuilding the machine, the same trick does not play.
I am wondering if there is a way to let JMF-based applets detect audio devices on Vista or this is an inherent problem with JMF, IE and Vista.
I would appreciate it very much if you�d kindly offer any help and suggestions.

A quick test of that is to try the same code as an application.
If the application works, one possible fix is to launch the application using webstart. Webstart will work from a web page, and offers many other advantages over a standard applet.
