Deserve to use SB Live! on my new ASUS A8N-SL

Hi, i gonna install my new ASUS A8N-SLI next week and i wonder if it's better to add on it my old audio card Sound Blaster Li've! or use the onboard sound of the ASUS A8N-SLI ( which seem very good )
Any advice ?
Thank's

Hi shag (and Koliur, sorry for hijacking your thread),
My other thread is here: http://forums.americas.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=soundblaster&message.id=227 (does this forum accept any form of BBCode, by the way?)
I have tried the card on all PCI slots already; that was the first thing I thought of, and I actually started off with it on slot 3, since the board manual states that is the less shared of the three available. I've been building my own machines for over ten years now, so I'm used to thinking of that kind of stuff beforehand.
I've also tried everything else I could think of, from using different drivers (such as non-Creative ones) to firmware updates, and even manually messing up the ACPI HAL DLLs on my Windows installation - actually I messed it up so far beyond recovery that I had to reinstall the OS yesterday...
Thanks for the hint, nonetheless, it is appreciated.
As to the 6600, I'm not getting another one until they drop immensely in price. I'm thinking of spending no more than ?40 or so for another card, so it should be at least a year and a half down the road until I do so.
I am an avid gamer, but not one of those who would mortgage his house to get an extra FPS in HL2, so I considered SLI for future cheap upgradeability, not for immediate benefit.

  • How do you connect lines for a drawing in order to use the live paint bucket tool?

    Hello! Im fairly new (okay not really) to using adobe illustrator
    I used the Image trace tool to outline this drawing of Captain America but unfortunately the lines arent connected and therefore
    messes up my colouring completely when I use the Live Paint Bucket tool.
    Is there a way to connect the lines so they are closed when I colour it? Or is there another way to color this drawing?
    Help would be greatly appreciated!

    Those gaps are very wide. Draw some paths and apply no fill, no stroke to them.
    Then make the live paint. In case the live paint already exists, you can go into isolation mode and then draw the paths. Or draw them and use Object > Live paint > Merge

  • Webcam problems using Messenger Live

    I've just purchased a new S10-2 running Windows 7.  When I've come to use the webcam to talk to my son using Windows Live Messenger I find that messenger displays my webcam  video OK, however my son can't see or hear anything.  The volume on the mic is turned up to full.  His picture shows a pic of a webcam with a red cross through it, no video although I can hear him talking.   I know his webcam is working, if I boot up my desktop everything is OK we can both get sound and video.
    Anyone any ideas how to get this up and running

    I have similar problems on an intermittent basis,
    which I have always attributed to poor or inconsistent internet
    band-width. Is your desktop wired and S10 using wireless?
    If so, try your S10 with wired internet.
    Or perhaps try a different way.
    I've had better experiences using Skype,
    Your son will need to load it too, of course

  • Using http live streaming

    Hello.  For a project I am working on, I need to design a secure streaming system for audio files such that they can be streamed but not downloaded (due to copy right issues).  I was looking into http live streaming as a possible solution.  However, I am new to developing web applications and the like and was hoping for some help, maybe links to sample code, how to use http live streaming for my server/in my code, etc.  In particular, I was hopping to make the streaming available to firefox, safari, and apple mobile devices.  I am hoping to develop this using html 5.
    Thanks.

    I have same issue with 64bit Safari 5.1 and 10.6.8.
    Video plays if not protected. If Protected says "Loading" and never plays.
    With 32bit Safari looks the same but...
    There is a login window behind the Safari window. If I find it and login, mp4 plays.
    Is quite annoying. Any fixes?

  • How to copy recorded live stream to new drive

    I was wondering if anyone out there knows how to copy a recorded live stream to a new drive on the server?  I can copy the file within the virtual app directory but not to another drive.
    The only solution i found was to edit the application.xml:
    <StreamManager>
            <StorageDir>e:\Sync\</StorageDir>
        </StreamManager>
    But unfortunately i need to rename the file once its recorded, and i'm having a hard time accessing that drive/directory where the file is located.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    thanks

    Hi,
    What I understood from your query I am providing you a solution:
    1. You can use the below to copy recorded live stream to new drive/directory in Application.xml
    <StreamManager>
            <StorageDir>e:\Sync\</StorageDir>
    </StreamManager>
    2. By default, a script can access files and directories only within the application directory of the hosting application. A server administrator can grant access to additional directories by specifying virtual directory mappings for File object paths. This is done in the FileObject tag in the Application.xml file, as shown in the following example:
    <FileObject>
          <VirtualDirectory>/_definst_;e:\Sync\_definst_\</VirtualDirectory>
    </FileObject>
    3. Create one application folder suppose test and then create main.asc file inside that which will have the below code
    application.onConnect = function(client) {
    application.acceptConnection(client);
    var fileObj = new File("_definst_");
    var fl = new Array();
    trace("File name : " + fileObj.toString());
    if (fileObj != null)
      if (fileObj.isDirectory)
       fl = fileObj.list();
       for (i in fl)
        trace("Directory : " + fl[i].name);
        if (fl[i].isFile)
         trace("File : " + fl[i].name);
         trace(fl[i].renameTo("dvrstream"+i));
        }//if closes
       }// for closes
      }//if closes
    }//if closes
    }// application closes
    This server side application rename files but since the folder which we had to access was outside application directory of the hosting application we had to map it using step 2.
    If this solution does not answer your query please be more ellaborative on what exactly are you trying to achieve. That will help me to answer your query correctly.

  • Getting numerous calls for the people who used to live here

    At least 2 -3 times a day, i getphone calls for the people who used to live in my house. They are all debt collectors and i have told them that they do not live here but it doesnt matter. Short of looking up their new number and giving that to the debt colllectors, what can i do?

    Your problem has nothing to do with Verizon and everything to do with debt collectors...
    When these individuals call, take down the number (from the caller ID), time and date and tell them the following:
    a) That the party that they're looking for does not reside there anymore.
    b) That you are recording the calls (and indeed do so) and that you'll be forwarding the tape to your attorney who will sue them for violation of Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
    c) If they don't stop, sue them. You can recover up to $1,000 for every violation that is proven in court.
    Happy hunting.

  • MSI KT8 Neo2 F board, upgraded cpu and used MSIs Live Update, now unstable BSODs

    I've had this mobo for almost 2 yrs now with an AMD 3500+ cpu and recently upgraded that to the FX-55. To do that, it required using MSIs Live Update and needed newer chipset drivers. It has the latest bios according to Live Update.
      It took a few attempts but finally booted w/o BSODs and has been running for over 1 week BUT is still not right. It's sometimes unstable and will crash (BSOD) just by starting up a browser. I had the bios settings at "optimized" and have tryed a few other changes but so far, I'm not gaining. Last night I couldn't keep it running more than a few minutes w/o it crashing.
      I have the MSI manual for my board and plan to spend some more time playing with it tonight but might anyone here have any ideas? It's not running hot (reads 50C) and was stable before with the 3500+. I've tryed "Fail Safe" bios settings too but nothing's better that way either.
       I'm hoping that someone here has a few ideas?
    Perhaps related?
      After initially running this with the new cpu, I'd see the "searching for MAC address" message and it'd hang there on boot. Someone told me that was because it was trying to do a network boot, selected in the boot sequence SO I've unselected that and that's when things got worse (oddly as it shouldn't IMO). One can select the 3+ boot devices (floppy, USB, CD-DVD rom, HDD) and it use to see the HDDs (2) before but now I'm not (only floppy and CD-DVD rom) and if I unselect the ethernet option (boot other devices), it fails to boot at all and says "insert floppy" as if I was installing Win98 way back when (running XP Pro btw). Something's definately not right with my bios selections.

    Let's go back to basics here for a bit. Start by posting your complete specs in your signature like we do. Make sure that your PSU values are also in there.
    Let's also look at some tests to help determine where the issue is. I would recommend Memtest86+, OCCT, Prime95, and 3DMarks as a great first series. Also get CPUz and lets see what it shows for CPU and Memory.
    If we can get an idea where things begin to fall apart then maybe we can determine if this is driver, hardware or some other issue without having to make the flash happen first. The reason why I am avoiding the flash at this point is that if things are mostly working maybe there is some other cause than Bios. We know that some FX's work with 3.x and some that don't. So I would like to try a bit of checking before we dive into a flash that could cause more issues than it solves if we get this wrong. As things are mostly working now we can assume at least for the moment that maybe the flash is not needed. If we don't see anything during testing that sheds some light then maybe we go ahead with the flash.
    That is if your willing to take some time to try and sort this out and maybe learn some stuff in the process. It is of course your call and we will respect whichever decission you make here.

  • How do I replace someone else's Mac ID with my own? Bought iPhone second hand. Previous owner re-set the phone but his ICloud account stayed on now my phone. He uses his macID on his new iPhone now?? Any ideas, as this issue is blocking my access to iTune

    How do I replace someone else's Mac ID with my own?
    Bought iPhone second hand on TradeMe.
    Previous owner re-set the phone but his ICloud account stayed on now my phone. He uses his AppleID on his new iPhone now and, understandably, does not want to give me his password. Any ideas?? Please.
    This issue is blocking my access to iTunes and any other file from my home computer. It keeps on telling me that I have to autorise my computer to pass on files, yet, it seems, for all this to happen, I need to get logged in through the phone's Apple ID. This of course is different to my one on my computer - and I have no password for it.
    This phone is not stolen!! I payed still a fair bit for it. Am still in contact with the previous owner. He doesn't know how to fix the problem either.
    Would appreciate any suggestion ????
    Thanks

    Settings>general>resets>erase all content and settings.
    That will put it back to its out of the box state. Set it up with your own apple Id.

  • How can I use Aperture 3 on my new iMac with Maverick?

    How can I use Aperture 3 on my new iMac with Maverick?

    Do you own a copy of Aperture, perhaps bought for another Mac?
    If you have not bought Aperture, you need to buy it from the AppStore.
    But if you own Aperture and have it bought from the AppStore on another Mac, sign into theAppStore on your new iMac with the same AppleID you used to buy Aperure on your other Mac.  Then look at the "Purchased" tab of he AppStore. It show Aperture, with the "Install" button to the right. Simply press the "Install" button and download it to your new iMac.  Or if you have bought Aperture on a CD/DVD, run the installer from the CD/DVD on your new mac and immediately run software update to upgrade the Aperture 3. version to version that will run with Mavericks.

  • HT4889 I have accidentally created another account when using Migration Assistant to a new MBA. How do I now 'migrate' all the files from both accounts into one to save myself having two accounts, both of which are me? Help?

    I have accidentally created another account when using Migration Assistant to a new MBA. I have read that I probably should not have skipped migration in the initial set up and the problem would have been avoided but, alas, here I am. Does anyone know how I can 'migrate' all the files from one of the accounts that has been created to the other, so then I can delete it and have a single user on the computer seeing as I am the only person using it? I have read starting again, if this is the way to go, where is the best place to start 'starting again'?

    Yes definitely should see it but its not coming up (I don't think) when I log out of 2nd user and into the main account. Opening finder in the 2nd account, I can obviously find the public folder because thats where I dropped all the files, but when in the main account, it can't be found. The only public folder that comes up is the folder for that account (main account) and it does not display files I'm looking for. Frustrating....
    EDIT: Have found it through a round-about way but all music and photo and movie etc files have a red stop sign disallowing them from being transferred. Can you guess what the next question will be?

  • How to use the "identify" feature in new 6.3.1 airport utility?

    how to use the "identify" feature in new 6.3.1 airport utility?
    so you can find the basestations in larger networks?

    There is a workaround, which is to use Airport Utility 5.6.
    I can confirm that 5.6 will run on 10.8.4 Mountain Lion, it will recognize the new 2013 Airport Extreme Base Station (A1521) running firmware 7.7.1, and it will give you access to view the device's Log & Statistics, DHCP Clients, and Profiles.
    Four caveats:
    1) The easiest way to install it is to download the app itself, not an installer or through the App Store. There is a page here where you can download the app: http://coreyjmahler.com/2013/03/08/airport-utility-5-6-on-os-x-v10-8-mountain-li on/ This way, you still have both versions, Airport Utility 6.x.x and 5.6.
    2) When you launch 5.6, you'll get a message saying a newer version is available and asking if you want to update. Click Cancel to proceed into the utility.
    3) When you click the Manual Setup button in 5.6, you'll get a warning dialog that "This version of AirPort Utility doesn't support this AirPort wireless device and might improperly configure the device if you continue to use it. Check www.apple.com/support/airport for the latest version of AirPort Utility." You can click Continue to get into the utility without issue.
    4) You should probably only use 5.6 to view the additional status details. I have not tried to modify and save any AEBS settings using 5.6. There are other discussions here in the forums indicating that attempting to save settings via 5.6 that are no longer available in 6.3.1 will not actually save the settings to the AEBS even if both utilities indicate that the settings are changed. See https://discussions.apple.com/message/22677993#22677993
    So, even though you can't use it to modify settings no longer available in Airport Utility 6.3.1, using Airport Utility 5.6 to view DHCP clients, Logs and Statistics is very useful for troubleshooting network issues.
    PS - There are two ways to get to the DHCP Clients list, neither of which is obvious The first is to go to the Airport pane -> Summary tab and click on the "Wireless Clients:" label in the Summary display. All of the labels from "Wireless Mode:" down on the Summary display operate as links to view/edit the corresponding info/settings, which is also not obvious at first glance. Also not obvious, clicking on "Wireless Clients:" actually brings up a new pane with three tabs: Logs, Wireless Clients, and DHCP Clients. You can also get to the same pane by going to the Advanced pane and clicking on the Logs and Statistics button.
    I hope this is helpful information. Took me a while to find out how to do this.
