"Dissapearing" speakers without a reason

Hello!
A long ago I bought the very first version o Sound Blaster Li've! and Speakers
Cambridge Soundworks FourPoint Sourround FPS2000 Digital Model No.CSW500
which functioned perfectly until WindowsXP arri'ved (I connected them using digital DIN connector).
After I switched from Windows 98SE I started to have problems with my speakers: they
are 4-point speakers and often after drivers or DirectX upgrade or without any reason aswell they simply dissapeared from the control panel of the soundcard (I mean I only
might choose 2-point speakers and (there was simply no other choice) after that the
rear speaker kept silence. Only complete deinstall, reboot and fresh new install of the
base drivers for XP and all the patches (during which I could choose which speakers I
use) allowed me to use fully my speakers... I had to do above sometimes 2 or 3 times a month. I tried to connect my speakers using analogue connectors - it didn't help at all.
I thought maybe it's time to switch to SB Audigy 2 and I did that and bought new card
leaving my old but perfect working and sounding speakers. I have to say the above
situation is now again: the possibility of choosing 4-point speakers simply dissapear
after 2-3 days of installation - firstly i cannot choose what kind of speakers I'd like to use (but the graphical diagram shows 4-point) and after some time the same diagram
shows only 2-point speakers and I of course cannot choose other ones) (I use games, movies, DivX, and office work). I of course could buy new speakers but I think the ones
I have it's enough for me at the moment and taht's why this question. I'd like to say that I switched to Athlon64 a month ago and earlier I used many other
configurations (like for example AthlonXP 3200+ + MSI KT6Delta Via KT600 chipset)
so I think it was hardware independent. It also has nothing to do with the version of
WindowsXP (service Pack or not, Home or Pro 'cos I tested them).
I wrote to the customer service but after some e-mail exchange I stopped 'cos they could not find the solution... I see now reading some posts that not only I have such problems... I think the solution could be small application extracted from the setup program installing the SB driver where we have the possibility to choose what kind of speaker we want to use... it's easier to use such application instead of deinstalling and installing with all the patches again or maybe somebody has better idea? Untill of course Creative engineers find the proper solution
Thank you for your patience

Wait for the next update. It is being widely accepted by most users facing this problem that 10.1.19xx and above has resolved the reboots issue.
Although I never faced this issue on any version, not everyone has been so lucky.

I want to connect the ipod directly to the car 's speakers without any amplifiers, is there any danger to burn the ipod?

I want to connect the ipod directly to the car 's speakers without any amplifiers, is there any danger to burn the ipod?

No, but it will not work. The iPod does not have an amplifier in it that is powerful enough to drive the speakers in your car.
So, do you have a stereo in the car, either factory fitted or one you have had fitted after it came out of the factory? If you do, check to see if the car's stereo either has a dedicated input for an iPod or an auxilary (aux input) socket.
Some modern cars (for example, my 2006 model Mazda 3) have stereos that can be fitted with iPod connectors. I paid to have one fitted to my Mazda's factory-fitted stereo. So now, I connect my iPod to the car's stereo via a dock connector and I have limited control of the iPod from the car's steering wheel. Some cars have more sophisticted control than mine does.
Alternatively, if the car's stereo has an Aux input socket, you only need to buy a headphone-to-headphone lead and connect from the iPod's headphone socket to the Aux input.
If you don't have either of those options, another method is to use a transmitter. These small radio transmitters are connected into the headphone socket of the iPod and then transmit the audio (like radio) so that you can tune your car's radio to the same frequency as the transmitter. You control the iPod as you do when using headphones. The sound quality will porbably not be as good as the dedicated dock connector method, but it's reasonable.

@I run a Windows 8.1 - Photoshop CS5 under Parallels on an iMac one year old and both having the latest OS. I use a NIK plugin "VIVEZA" which run fine for years without a problem. Latelt and without a reason, the NIK plugin has gone corrupt, (can not use it more the 2 corrections after a get a black background message that there is not enough memory) and the system stops running and a must restart is required. How do I fix this terrible problem?
If it requires a Photoshop CS5 re-install, (I belief that it may fix the problem) and re-install the two third party plugins (NIK Viveza) and (Onone Perfect Resize) how and where do I get to the proper Adobe upload page to do that.
I have tried to fix this problem by changing the memory allocations, I have spend many hours on it and are very disgusted with it but it needs to be fixed. The current memory settings are;
Ram available = 1588 MB
Range = 873 -1143 MB
Recommended Photoshop usage range = 857 however I have tried every setting to max and in between. Nothing works. Current setting = 1588 (max)
The Photoshop I use is registered, I have product # and order # .

Contact NIK for updated/upgraded versions of their plug-ins. They have been having a lot of issues with their plug-ins.

Satellite L300-17L is putting itself on stand by all the time without any reason

Hello Eldorado,
i am sorry that this is not a question in connection to the topic, but i have L300 - 17L laptop and from time to time it is shutting down (more specifically putting it self on stand by) without any reason.
It is not the cooler or anything else..
The battery is full, and that is happening while i am writing or working on the laptop generally!
The local service says that is nothing wrong with the laptop, i am so nervous, i cannot work , it is interrupting my work ..
PLEASE HELP ME! thank you

Hi
So what happens exactly?
Does the notebook shuts down or goes into standby mode?
You said it happens from time to time this means that it would not be easy to replicated this issue and I think the technician was not able to replicate this is it right?
What applications are running if this happens?
Did you try to restore the notebook back to factory settings using the HDD recovery or Recovery disk? Do this!
Check also if your BIOS is up to date!

The default printer is set, the page setup had a printer selected; these did not change the error result. All printers were removed using the Mac OS X printer system reset and added them back. The Adobe "Repair Acrobat Installation" was also used after adding the printers. None of these changed the error result. There is no printer spool created, just the Acrobat pop up error window with "The document could not be printed."

HT3702 My credit card is declined without apparent reason. How can I rectify this?

My credit card is declined without apparent reason. How can I rectify this? I do not want to use another card because of children securiity reasons.

If it's a credit card (I don't think that debit cards are still accepted) then is it registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, it was issued by a bank in your country and you are currently in that country ? If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes support and see if they know why it's being declined : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

Why our game removed from sale without any reasons??

Thank you.

If colorme will please forgive me, I have a quick question for you, KT...
I'm simply trying to compute the cube of an integer, which I thought would be an easy job in Obj-C. But when I code:
NSLog(@"20^3=%d", 20^3);
The result in the log is 23. What's with that? Someone said something about using pow. Hello?? Is this a math program or a Batman app? Someone else asked if I could hum four bars of it. I don't think anyone is taking the time to read my question, and I'd prefer a simple answer without all the tUde!! Do you see what's going on in this case?

Try to disable your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes it work.
You may need to delete the temp folder (%TEMP%) to remove the old files.

My macbook pro won't turn on without any reason?

my macbook pro won't turn on without any reason, is there any solution in this case?

You need to hit the "reply" button on post to whom your responding too, it's hard to tell if your responding to me or someone else.
small button on the side of the computer and didn't lightting up( no reponse at all). is their any problems do think with the battery?
Usually if your battery is dead because it wasn't charged you can do the SMC Reset and then check the Magsafe if it's connected and showing the orange light, then let the battery charge up.
Once the battery charges up, the computer will boot normally and then you have to reset the PRAM, time, date etc.

The brush do not work sometimes without a reason.

Sometime without a reason (I mean I cant find one) the brush do not work (it appears the symbol when you are not able to use a tool), to solve the problem I copy and paste everything on a new document, but it is very messy, what am I doing wrong?
Thanks for the help!

Hi thank you for the answer,
can you be a little more specific? How can I solve this?
I have not understand this:
The brush tool will only work when there's a brush present in the brushes panel ("Basic" doesn't count as a brush)

Mac mini turns off without any reason

My Mac mini turns off without any reason. I just want to make a backup with time machine and after a while the computer doesn´t work anymore. I just see the start-screen with all the users and I had to sign with my user password. After the mac restarts, I had to start time machine again. I stopped energy-management, because I thought that might be the problem but not. Time machine should work the whole night, but I don´t want to sit the whole time next to the mac to wake him up every several minutes. What can I do?
