Creative Volume panel missing somethi

On the volume panel for my new XFI Extreme gamer control panel I do not see two things that are actually shown on the beack of the box. There is a decoder for DTS and Dolby Digital shown on the panel in the pic, but they don't exist on my version. What happened to them? Is this why i cannot, with my new card, get digital out of my Logitech Z-680's? I have my coax to mini plug installed properly and all the S-PDIF settings right on my DVD player.

The newer soundcards (Including : Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatalty Pro Series SB046A, Sound Blaster X-Fi Platinum Fatalty Champion Series SB046A, Sound Blaster X-Fi Elite Pro SB055A) no longer has the DTS and Dolby Digital Hardware decoding. Therefore you will not see these options. Just through a software level, such as the included free download of the software : Cyberlink PowerDVD Version 6 OEM DTS/Dolby Digital.
If you have the Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer SB073A, this too includes a?free download of the software : Cyberlink PowerDVD Version 6 OEM DTS/Dolby Digital.
Also, the Cyberlink PowerDVD Version 6 OEM DTS/Dolby Digital will only work in Windows XP SP2.

Enable Creative Volume Panel in System T

Hello all,?Advanced computer/server engineer here, but I can't seem to overcome the simple task of getting the system tray icon for creative up and running...never had this problem before but for some reason I can't figure it out. I have a Sound Blaster X-Fi Platinum with CD install and newest drivers from creatives website. Anyone have any ideas?Regards,Malhovic

During the installation, did you do a custom install and check the box to add the ?"Creative Volume Panel" app in the setup? If not add the app in the Control Panel/Add and Remove/Sound Blaster X-Fi , Add the "Creative Volume Panel" app there. Or maybe do a repair of the Sound Blaster X-Fi installation, this sometimes fixes the problem.

Creative Control Panel taskbar icon for XtremeGa

I recently reformatted my computer, and lost the taskbar icon that allows you to change the volume, change the mode (Game, Entertainment, Media), and have been trying to get it back.
I've downloaded the latest drivers and the "Creative Console" for the XtremeGamer, but have yet to find what I'm looking for. I'm pretty sure I've looked through the options in the creative console, and there isn't any mention of enabling a taskbar icon. Where can I find what I'm looking for?
Thanks.

Funny i'm looking for the same thing at the moment. its not the console i think it might be the creative volume panel but i'm not sure. was gonna look for it now but i gotta get up in a few hrs for work. have a look on the original cd if you have it. or the dank drivers cd as i've borrowed bits from that disc to add to the beta drivers atm. from the description in the drivers install though it does appear to be the creative volume panel application.

For the love of Jeebus, please tell me I am missing something with PP's janky audio workflow

OK, I've read the help docs, gone through the tutorials, watched the videos. Still I am not finding an efficient workflow for dealing with audio in PP. Let's face it, audio in 5.5 was completely baffling to us newbies jumping ship from FCP 7, and I thought the CS 6 update was going to simplify things. No dice. As I am a somewhat recent transplant, I am willing to admit that…. wait, nay, I'm HOPING that I am probably missing something here and that it's just stupid operator error. Fingers crossed.
Here's my situation. I am editing a documentary that has hundreds of hours of footage and thousands upon thousands of clips. We are working with three different kinds of audio: stereo, mono 1 & 2 (interviews with a lav mic on channel 1 and boom on channel 2) and mono (interview on channel 1 with lav microphone only). Here's my problems:
If I set the audio so that they're all stereo clips
Then I'm running into problems with the mono 1 & 2 tracks. Say the boom audio is better on the right channel, and I want to silence the left. I turn the left channel off. Then I want the boom audio to be on both channel's equally… well, I can't figure out a way to do that. In FCP, I would just put the pan to center, and the audio would play the right channel's audio on both channels equally. With PP, panning does nothing but adjust how much of the boom is heard, as opposed to how much the lav (now silent) is heard. I can't find a way to pan the boom to the center, so that it is heard equally on both channels.
If I set the audio so that they're all mono 1 & 2 clips
Doing this solves the boom/lav problem as listed above, as the mono tracks seem to center pan and play on both channels equally, so simply deleting the lav works well. However, now if I have a stereo song that I want to keyframe some fades in (say a music bed playing in the background that I want to fade lower when a person starts talking)… now I have to pen tool in keyframes for the left track AND the right track separately, try to get the fades to match on each track, then separately fade the audio back in for each track. So essentially I've DOUBLED my work for each of the tracks I've marked this way.
As a note, I love having found this out the hard way, after editing a 20 minutes interview into bits and pieces scattered across my timeline, and then finding out I should have set the audio to Mono 1 & 2. Easy enough, I thought, as I went back to the Project window, found the original clip, then went to modify the audio so it would work in my project. I got the extremely helpful message that "Any changes you have made to the number of clips or the type of those clips will not be reflected in the existing timelines. Do you want to continue?" YEAH! That's super. You might as well have put "Making this change now will do nothing to help you. You'll have to go back and edit everything again. Do you want to continue?" Great, Adobe, thanks. Bang up job there.
I was really happy about not having to transcode in PP like I used to have to do in FCP 7. That was until I realized how the audio worked, and for the latest scene of this documentary had to go through every clip/camera download to figure out how the audio had to be set-up before I could start editing. Transcoding a big job used to take me a day. Configuring the audio in PP for this one scene took two.
I would be the happiest person on the planet to find out that I've been wasting my time and that there is a simple solution for all of this. Hope someone can point me in the right direction and thanks for any help!

I'm not suggesting any of this as a model, and your needs are different than mine.
1) Go to Preferences -> Audio. Under "Default Audio Tracks", Set "Mono Media: Mono". Set "Stereo Media: Mono" (Choices from the pull-down for both are Use File, Mono, Stereo, 5.1, Adaptive)
You can change these, but I don't. I am using both mono and stereo tracks. I set up a custom sequence with the particular combination of stereo and mono tracks I want.
2) Set audio for clips by selecting all clips and going to Modify Clip -> Audio Channels Tab. Under "Number of Audio Tracks" there should be a "1". Under Channel Format it should read "Stereo".
I am not sending the audio to anyone else to edit further. I am doing a final stereo mix. If camera one is set up to record 2 mikes as a stereo track, then I leave that unchanged and put it onto a stereo track. If camera two is set up to record one mike onto channel 1 as ambient sound and channel 2 is a mono feed from a sound board, then I modify those clips as Preset Mono, 2 audio tracks, Channel format Mono, and that puts the left source channel (or whichever I choose) onto Audio track 1, channel 1 (of one), and right source channel onto audio track 2, channel 1.
4) Delete all the existing audio tracks in the sequence and replace them all with mono tracks, so all tracks in the sequence are mono.
I modify the tracks while creating the sequence, and ultimately use a custom sequence.
Under my Effects Controls panel there is only Channel Volume, and nowhere to adjust the pan.
I'm using the mixer, not the effects control panel.

Problem with mode switching/Volume Panel in multi-user environment?

As above - using Windows 7 64-bit with an X-Fi Titanium Fatalty card.
All works well as long as I'm the only person logged in, but if my wife logs into the computer (using Windows 7's built-in multi-user mode...'fast user switching', which is enabled by default), and then I log back in...well, the volume panel app doesn't seem to work. In fact, even using the control panel app, I can't regain control of the soundcard enough to switch modes.
Logging her off doesn't resolve the issue, so it seems like something about her logging on (another user logging in, two volpanlu.exe running, something) is causing my instance to go haywire. [FWIW, I'm a 'standard' user on the PC, and her login is a 'limited' user]
Note that 'killing' the task volpanlu.exe in task managed, then going to the Windows services control panel and stopping and re-starting the 'Windows Audio' service, and finally re-launching volpanlu.exe from the start menu DOES always work to resolve the problem (regardless of if she's logged in or not...this always fixes it).
Still, that's a kinda annoyingly large set of steps to always have to go through whenever I want to change audio mode after she's logged in.
Is there any way to fix this? Any setting I could be missing to optimize the X-Fi control panel for multi-user environments? Any of the X-Fi mod dri've packs handle fast user switching better? Any other ideas?

GA little bit more tinkering around this, and I have some more information:
- Once I "seize control" (the kill of volpanlu, restart 'Windows Audio' service, re-launch volpanlu), if my wife logs back in, now *she* can't change the audio mode

Vista SP1 and Volume Panel, X-Fi

System is Vista Business SP x86 with Soundblaster X-FI Extreme Music. Tray Icon works, but the Volume Panel doesn't open. It is a new clean install.

Re: Volume Panel is missing with newest X-Fi driver and Vista SP< To : andyr2005
Please READ carefully!
Like I've said in my post, The download file "Creative Console Launcher 2.60.29" is the ONLY update that has the Volume Panel software.
2.60.35A and 2.6.09 does NOT!, I known what for a long time.
Thus, downloading and extract the file "Creative Console Launcher 2.60.29" to get only the Volume Panel software and install.
Then, download and Install the latest "Creative Console Launcher 2.6.09" software.
I've done this many many MANY times and I know what I'm doing and I'm saving time, not wasting time.
Wasting time is installing all three updates, instead of just the Volume Panel software and the "Creative Console Launcher 2.6.09" update.

X-Fi xgamer fatality pro volume panel command switch?

Looking at msconfig, I noticed that Volume panel starts with an /r switch. Something like this: [color="#ff0000"]C:\Program Files\Creative\Sound Blaster X-Fi\Volume Panel\volpanlu.exe /r.
Now can someone tell me are there any more switches, and what they stand for?
This is a bit weird because in Entertainment mode, when I double click on systray icon Mixer opens instead of Full Entertainment list to choose from CMSS, Mixer, Crystalaizer....etc. So when Mixer opens, I have to click on main display tohave all of the options
I wish that "Main Display" opens instead of Mixer.
Anyone?

5.1 Option has vanished from Creative volume control...

I have Creative's 5800 5.1 speaker system, and creative volume control on my computer. Used to be, I could just select 5.1 in the creative volume control settings and there you have it. Magically this seems to have vanished from the Speaker/headphone selection options leaving me only with 4.1 and 7.1 as options. Any idea why or how I may get the 5.1 option back?

Managed to answer my own question if you install the creative console launcher version 2.60.29 it installs the volume panel as well and you can then install the newer version of the console launcher which will uninstall the older console launcher but leave the volume panel in place. i would say one thing though i'm surprised creative seem to have removed this usefull add-on (volume panel) installer from the newest creaitve console launcher install as i find it a far better volume control than windows and would think they would ship it with all versions of the console launcher not just the older one avaliable for [email protected]

Paste in Place in Photoshop CS6 is not working, am I missing something?

Hey there,
I've been using the Creative Suite since CS4, but still count myself as a beginner.
I'm building a psd file with vectors from an ai file. I recall that in CS5 and CS5.5 I had no issue copying a vector from Illustrator and then using "paste in place" to land it in the same relative spot on the Photoshop canvas. Today, my world has crumbled! Try as I might, I cannot get my vector shapes to "paste in place".
I am using Windows 7, service pack 1, and CS6 64 bit edition. Both Illustrator and Photoshop were entirely up to date as of today, and I'm in the midst of doing a reinstall, just in case that helps anything. I have already tried dumping the preference file, to no avail.
Having taken a look through the forums, it seems that Illustrator's clipboard has been handling data differently somehow, and I'm pondering whether this might be the culprit of my issue. However, copying and pasting in place within Illustrator seems to work fine, problems only arise when I copy from Illustrator into Photoshop.
I feel that I am likely missing something easy to overlook, and I would greatly appreciate some help.

I asked a friend about this issue, and he says that functionality was never there. Is that true? Perhaps it should be, it would be extremely useful. Even though I thought I recalled having done this in the past, I guess I must be mistaken.

Illustrator has a different origin behavior. There is a global origin and a per artbord origin. you need to fix the problem in AI.

SB Audigy2 w/Vista: Creative Volume Control conflict with Windows Volume Control(sndvol.ex

Hi Everyone,
I'm running Windows Vista on a Dell Dimension 8300 with a SoundBlaster Audigy 2(WDM) card. I have a few no-mind questions about how these things all work together:
. After I installed Creative's Vista driver upgrade for the SB Audigy 2 series, I noticed that there are now two volume control icons in the system tray. One is for the Creative Volume Control. The other is the original Windows Volume Control (sndvol.exe). Should these two controls be running at the same time?
2. The Master Volume is a lot lower in Vista than it was in XP. When I let Vista pick the sound drivers the first time around, I figured the lower volume had something to do with those. So I downloaded and installed the Vista SB Audigy 2 Driver Upgrade from Creative's website. The volume is still very low, however, and I have to peak all my volume controls to hear much of anything. Does anyone have any ideas why this should be so?
Thanks to all who took the time to read this! Have a good day,
Big Al Mintaka

MX change - missing something obvious

Good day,
In need of some advice... I'm probably missing something that's staring me right in the face.
6 weeks ago, I changed our MX records. Old MX records (call them ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com) pointed to our soon-to-be-gone sendmail relay. New MX record (call it mx1.example.com) points to a load balancer in front of our 2 brand new (and really awesome !) Ironports C-series.
Now, for all legitimate traffic, and most of our spam, everything is working a-ok.
However, SOME of our mail traffic is still coming in through the old sendmail boxes.
The old MX records' TTL was 1 week. Our current TTL is 1 hour. When possible, I spot-checked the DNS for some of the offending senders, and they return the new MX record for our domains.
Does anyone have ANY insight as to why some domains seem to be ignoring our TTL or using now 6-week-old records ?
Tearing my hair out,
Jad

It is not uncommon for spammer to cache or even maintain their own list of SMTP servers. Basically if they find any server that will accept email even without an MX record point to it they will send it spam. I know this may be hard to believe but I have put a mail server on the Internet without and MX record and a month later I get significant spam volumes. We (at IronPort) have heard many customers who continue to get large spam volumes to legacy mail servers even though there is no MX record pointing to them. We have run into this as a common problem "I'm still getting spam, even after I put my IronPorts in place." An investigation show the email did not go through the IronPort, but instead through a legacy system which does not even have an MX record.
As a rule, we ask that Internet facing port 25 access be blocked to all non-IronPort legacy email host.
