Distorted sound (after updating to SP2) (Audigy 4)

Hello!
last week I updated my Vista Home Premium x64 to Service Pack 2 (swedish), and immideatly i started having trouble with my sound (as I understand it, SP2 updates some kind of internal audio driver or something like that). The sound was slighty distorted. noticeable in general windows tasking and watching YouTube, extremely noticealbe and annoying when playing games. hard to explain, almost like extremely low quality, and a little "tinny", as if it was being played inside a tin can.
I downloaded the then-latest drivers, which at first gave me no sound at all. I uninstalled the drivers, used DriverCleaner to remove all traces, then installed the drivers again. Problem fixed, until I rebooted. the problem comes and go, perfect when I start a game, half an hour later something triggers the crappy quality. On the 4th of July I noticed there was a new set of drivers. I installed them, but it didn't get any better. the problem still comes and goes.
the drivers I have tested are
SBAX_PCDRV_LB_2_8_00
SBAX_PCDRV_LB_2_8_000
(plus the drivers I had installed before, can't remember version number)
I've also tried various quality settings in the "Sound Options" (Control Panel/Sound) for Windows, and have tried disabling all Enhancements.
I have also installed two different version of Alchemy, as well as tried without it.
When I installed the card it was still the year 2005, is it possible the card has simply run its course? The problem started as soon as I booted with Service Pack 2, so it seems to be a software problem rather than the hardware.
any ideas?

HT4623 My iPad 3 has lost the speaker sound after updating to iOS 6.1, headphones are working fine

My iPad 3 has lost the speaker sound after updating to iOS 6.1, headphones are working fine. Please help me out, done all the troubleshooting like restarting, side switcing, cleeaning the headphone jack etc.,

Hi I also have this problem. Sound was only working on the headphones and also on the volume slider in the settings app. Everywhere else I get no sound and no volume slider. Now the headphones don't work either.
(I'm using an ipad 2 iOS 6.1.2)
And NO it's not muted. I've reset all settings and restarted the iPad. Been searching forums for a couple days. Some say its a dirty docking port problem, others suggest a Skype or other app update that could be the problem.
No volume control icon appears when I press the volume control buttons. Only says sound effects, if it says anything at all. Most often there is NO volume icon. YouTube, video, music, and other game apps, no sound.

Poor sound after updating to ISO 7

Poor sound after updating to ISO 7. Before updating i had terrific sound both on my music and videos I recorded with my cam, i had to turn it down. Now, after update, i put volym on Max and can hardly hear the music or whatever. Anyone else with same problem?

I also loved my iphone because it HAD great sound. Since the update of the iso7 for my iphone 4s, i am missing my calls because I cannot hear the phone ringing. The sound is so low even though I have it on the highest sound possible. The is something in the update that caused this problem among others such as the phone blinking out while I am viewing videos. Help Apple! THe battery is going from 100 percent to 20 percent in two hours even when I have almost turned off everything on my iphone. I need my sound back! Apple please find out what happened in your update that caused the loss of the sound!

Problem with sound after updating to ios 7.0.6

Help!
No sound whatsoever from the speaker after updating to ios 7.0.6.
Sound from earplugs & through dock OK.
I tried everything I found on the web, but nothing worked up till now.
Tips, anybody?

Hi singsingsarah,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Be sure to try all of these steps if you do not hear sound from your iPhone speakers:
If you do not hear sound from the built in speaker, try these steps:
Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
Try turning off Bluetooth.
If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, please contact Apple Support.

Problem with sound after update

Hello
After update to 11.3 I have no bass sound in subwoofer in Firefox browser (youtube). I uninstall the newest version and install previous (11.2) and bass plays ok.
My os: Windows 7 x64. Sound card Creative X-fi.

Hello!
My problem is summed up in this topic.
Updated Flash Player with 11.3 this morning (june 12th 2012) and since then my 7.1 Sound System works only 2.1. If i enable EAX Effects, works on 7.1 but since it`s just a room it sounds very odd.
I have no problem with sound on HTML 5 websites for that matter, Winamp, Video Players, games.
Uninstalled Flash Player, sounds work ok without it on different browsers, other than Chrome (since it has FP built in).
I hope for a sollution soon.
Thank you.
*edit*
Untill there is a permanent solution, i found a way to deal with my issue and i hope it will help others.
I personally use Chrome and this is for this browser:
1. Type "about:plugins" w/o the quotation in the navigation bar.
2. On the upper right u will see "Details" click it then find the word "flash", and you will see something like this:
Flash (3 files) - Version: 11,3,300,257
Shockwave Flash 11.3 r300
Name: Shockwave Flash
Description: Shockwave Flash 11.3 r300
Version: 11,3,300,257
3. I say again, this worked for me on Chrome. The 3 files i have, two of them are Version 11,3,300,257 and one is 11.2.31.144
4. Simply disable the lates version 11.3 and enable the previous version 11.2
I hope this helps.

Ssrs lookup funtion after update to SP2 (reporting services)

Hi
After updating to sql server 2012 sp2 build 11.00.5058
the lookup functions disrupts a tablix.<o:p></o:p>
I Created a tablix with a column and row grouping. If I
add a lookup function in an expression (in this case the value expression) The
cell with the lookup value show a total different value. This is quite
strange
and tricky I guess.
It is working before the update and in visual studio:
<I'm not allowed to add images>
On the reportServer:
<I'm not allowed to add images>
If I remove the lookup funtion it works again.
I can send an rdl file and images for an example.
King regards,
Ronald

Thank you for your response.
Here is some sample data:
SELECT 119 AS ThemeId, 119 AS ColumnID, 118 AS ParentThemeID, 10 AS ColumnOrder, 1 AS DisplayOrder, '#F0AB00' AS ThemeColor, 'Geloofwaardigheid' AS NAME, 1 AS depth UNION ALL

SELECT 137 AS ThemeId, 123 AS ColumnID, 123 AS ParentThemeID, 50 AS ColumnOrder, 3 AS DisplayOrder, '#7D0849' AS ThemeColor, 'Gastvrijheid' AS NAME, 2 AS depth UNION ALL
SELECT 138 AS ThemeId, 123 AS ColumnID, 123 AS ParentThemeID, 50 AS ColumnOrder, 4 AS DisplayOrder, '#7D0849' AS ThemeColor, 'Verbondenheid' AS NAME, 2 AS depth
In The RDL create a tablix with one cell and group on ColumnID in the column, group on DisplayOrder in the row. Copy the Expression in the value of the cell. Now the cell shows
in column 119 a value from column
123 outside the lookup function.
In my opinion this really should not happen after an update of SQL server. In visual studio it is working correctly!

Multiple message sounds after updating iOS 5

After updating my iphone 4 to iOS 5, Whenever i get a msg or a notification, the tri-tone message sound is played about 3 times. Am i the only one?

If you mean that the tri-tone sound is repeated with intervals of two minutes: When you go to Settings -> Notifications -> Messages, near the bottom you can choose how often a message alert must be repeated. This can be set to never.

No sound after updating to 10.7.3 - no boot camp available

All sounds gone after updating to 10.7.3
tried to reset NVRAM + PRAM via pressing (cmd)+(alt)+(p)+(r) while starting - this was not helping.
Found also the thread below, but i have no boot camp available
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17477460
All ideas welcome----

You should correct the model of mac, cannot be PowerBook, perhaps MacBook or MacBook Pro.
I have read that many people have had problems after last update, here all is fine. The only idea I have is to download from Apple site the combo update (the bigger update), and re-run it. This often solves issues.
As about BC, can you see that partition in Disk Utility? If yes, open Finder preferences, do setttings look like here?

Bad sound after updating

Bad sound after updating

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.
