Distortion in Audition 3.0.1 and Win7 64 bit

On board audio on my mobo took a dump, I don't like on board anyway. I added a Diamond PCI 7.1 (I am not spending $200 on a big time card, this one meets my needs). I have 2 hard drives with OS. One is XP sp3, the other Win7 sp1. I can't get ASIO working on the Win7, although it has worked on XP. Anyway, when I use the stereo mix as an input in Win7 and record, 99% of the time it comes back with distortion on the audio; this is true whether recording a stream from the web, or just testing by playing an audio file through Media Player. With XP, everything sounds fine. I have the only Win7 driver I could find for the card. Once in a while I get clean audio on Win7, but rarely. May I assume 3.0.1 isn't happy with Win7 under this circumstance? If I am forced, I can always boot to XP and use it there. Just wondering if anyone else has had similar issues. Thanks.

Hey, I used to have a Diamond PCI card somewhere.
I would say that all bets are off with the drivers, but there is a strong possibility that you could be hearing the problems with the sample rate converter in Windows 7 (and I think in Vista). This affects recording and playback, and the first line of defence is to make sure that the source audio's sample rate is the same as the "default sample rate" that is set in every area in the Windows Control panel audio area.
The sample rate converter built into XP has a range of settings that are usually set to "high quality", and sample rate conversion is rare anyway with that OS. With Windows 7, the concept of the newer Windows mixer irequires that the sample rate converter changes all the audio on the fly to the default ample rate, but the converter is not very good. This doesn't always affect the audio - anything using DirectX seems OK, but anything using "WaveOut" audio (eg YouTube playback) is affected.
Microsoft acknowledges the problem and have issued a patch at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2653312

Share iTunes Library between OSX and Win7 Bootcamp

I've done quite a bit of research on this but I still haven't found a solution that does what I require.
Basically my setup is a SSD & HDD in my MBP. I have OSX and Win7 (Bootcamp) on the SSD and the NTFS HDD is a shared file storage drive for both Windows and OS. I have my iTunes library located on this drive and I want to be able to share the library between the OSs. I also want changes e.g. additions deletions made in windows to be reflected in OSX and vice versa.
Technically this is possible and does in fact work if I point iTunes to the .itl file but the problem is that when I open iTunes after switching OSs it must go through a very lengthy library update which can take 30-60mins in some cases before I can use it. Obviously this is not a good solution so I'm wondering if there are any workarounds to accomplishing this?
For example can I duplicate the .itl file and have one for win and one for OSX and still have the libraries stay in sync?

Just for your info, Vista ***** whatever you try to do. I'm stuck with Vista on a pre-installed laptop. All experience I have from Vista is bad, don't buy Vista or a computer with preinstalled Vista if you can avoid it.
We have three computers in a home network, one Macbook Pro, one PC with Windows XP, and the Vista laptop. All are using iTunes-8, downloaded and installed last week.
Sharing iTunes libraries using the option to share libraries on a local network works fine between Mac and Windows-XP. The sharing also works fine between the XP and the Vista PC.
But the Vista PC can't access the Mac iTunes library. When trying to open the Mac library, iTunes on the Vista computer says something like "Fetching library info from...". It's the same problem when trying to access the Vista library from the Mac.
We had a similar problem when trying to access shared folders on the local network. Thanks to a tip on this forum how to tweak the Vista registry, the shared folder problem was solved.
I'm think some registry setting in Vista might solve iTunes shared library problems. Maybe some Windows freak knows how to patch the registry to solve this issue.
Otherwise the solution is to trash Vista, and install Windows-XP.

Arch and Win7 cannot open an NTFS partition created by the other

This is almost certainly related to another post where I was struggling to create logical partitions from Windows. Basically, Linux and Minitool Partition Wizard agreed that there were no logical partitions, but the built-in Windows disk utility said there was. I ended up using fdisk from Arch install media, and Minitool and Arch now both saw the logical partitions (Windows shows a big extended partition of free space). I installed Arch just fine, can boot to it and win7... life is good.
Not so much. A key to my setup is having an encrypted partition to share data between OS's. I used TrueCrypt with great success on my former laptop and am now having great difficulty!
Some preliminary information:
# fdisk -l /dev/sda
Disk /dev/sda: 238.5 GiB, 256060514304 bytes, 500118192 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x1e6513b3
Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/sda1 * 2048 2101247 2099200 1G 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT

/dev/sda3 172433408 390537215 218103808 104G 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda4 390537216 500118191 109580976 52.3G 5 Extended

/dev/sda6 391589888 500118191 108528304 51.8G 83 Linux
I also went partition by partition to check Minitool's agreement on sectors (they match perfectly with the exception that it doesn't show the extended /dev/sda4 container). I triple checked the Minitool partition info properties as you can't copy and paste from it's window, and pasted the fdisk output to minimize errors. I'm showing a column for mini/Arch for both start/stop sectors, and just subtracted them to make sure I got 0. Appears to be perfect alignment:
| part | start (mini) | start (arch) | diff | | end (mini) | end (arch) | diff |
|------+--------------+--------------+------+---+------------+------------+------|
| sda1 | 2048 | 2048 | 0 | | 2101247 | 2101247 | 0 |

I used TrueCrypt 7.1a on both OS's. I created a non-system encrypted partition using the GUI on Arch with the AES cipher/sha-512 hash, with filesystem as "none." Once created I did:
$ sudo cryptesetup --type tcrypt open /dev/sda3 vault
That worked fine, which I followed with:
$ sudo mkfs.ntfs /dev/mapper/vault
It initialized the device with zero's and then gave me the success/have a nice day message. Closed the volume and rebooted. When I tried to open the device from win7, I got "Incorrect password or not a TrueCrypt volume." Hmmm. I guess I'll try in reverse. I duplicated the procedure exactly as above from win7, this time having TrueCrypt automatically format with NTFS. All succeeds and I can open the device. Reboot into Arch and I get the same message from TrueCrypt! If I try with cryptsetup, it's "No device header detected with this passphrase."
Next, I tried just doing NTFS with no encryption. From Arch:
$ sudo mkfs.ntfs /dev/sda3
All goes well and I can mount it. I boot into Windows and it's not even listed! I used Minitool to issue it a drive letter, at which point clicking that pops up a windows dialog box asking me if I want to format the disk. Format the partition with NTFS in Windows, reboot into Arch and I get:
[jwhendy@arch_zbook ~]$ sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/scratch/
NTFS signature is missing.
Failed to mount '/dev/sda3': Invalid argument
The device '/dev/sda3' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS.
Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a
partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around?
Doesn't matter if I add "-t ntfs" or "-t ntfs-3g." I get the same result.
Just to add a couple more oddities... when I created the NTFS partition in Arch, I also created a file called vault.tc as a TrueCrypt file-based encrypted container. My thinking was that the issue was with TrueCrypt full-partitions and that I could get around it with a plain partition containing an encrypted file. Reboot into windows and the partition isn't shown (as stated above). From Minitool, if I right click the partition and choose "Explore," it lists the partition contents and there is my vault.tc file. Windows thinks it's unformatted!
I noticed the option to backup/restore a TrueCrypt header, and gave a shot at backing up the working TrueCrypt setup on windows to a flash drive, booting to Arch, and then restoring the /dev/sda3 header from the flash drive file. Arch still couldn't open it.
Lastly, I noticed when I go to select a device to encrypt in TrueCrypt, my logical partitions aren't showing up (just like Windows only sees the end of the disk as free space). I just can't help but think something is tweaked in the partition table... basically:
- TrueCrypt sees what Windows sees
- Arch sees what Minitool sees
How could I go about diagnosing further or fixing the issue. This is driving me crazy!
I'd hate to do this given that I already setup my wm, configs, packages, etc... but my last resort attempt would be to wipe my logical partitions and see if I can at least get the win7 disk utility, minitool, arch, and truecrypt to like each other with respect to /dev/sda1-3... and then try to re-add the logicals afterward and re-install arch? I honestly don't know why this would be any different, but was just a thought. The issues from the other post seem to arise with logical partitions not being recognized the same between win/linux.
Or figure out how to just use primaries (like dedicated boot on a USB drive or something). Or fiddle with growing/shrinking windows to see if I can undo whatever is telling windows where/what things are? Really grasping at straws here.

Could someone help me restore my photos? I was trying to "restore my database" in iPhoto when it shut down - now my thumbnails are distorted, logged under a new name, and when you click on a thumbnail it opens as another photo. I was following another "helpful hint" hold down the option and command key and restart iPhoto - select the top three and you should be able to get rid of the dreaded exclamation point. My MAC ran through the first two options dealing with thumbnails, but crashed during the "restore database" step and now I have a mess. Help, please. Thank you.

Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

I have FF and win7. Fonts turn to weird characters at more then 75% zoom when the checkbox "allow webpages to choose their own fonts" in the contents option > advanced is checked, when forced to calibri this behaviour doesnt occur
An aexample of that is the product title on the product of this website:

While switching to double check this I just saw that this also happens in this very window in wich i am typing my question now. If i copy and paste this text to for example notepad or anything else, it shows up like normal text.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== i installed firefox on win 7

This issue can be caused by the bitmap version of the Helvetica or Geneva font or another (bitmap) font that can't be displayed by Firefox in that font size.
Firefox can't display that font in the specified size and displays gibberish instead.
You can test that by zooming out (View > Zoom > Zoom Out, Ctrl -) to make the text smaller.
Uninstall (remove) all variants of that not working font to make Firefox use another font or find a True type version of that font that doesn't have the problem.

Urgent help needed related to boot camp and Win7 32 bit

I have installed boot camp and Win7 32 bit on my iMac (2010) but I can't start from my mac os even by holding the option key. Windows doesn't recognize my wireless mouse either, but for now going back to the mac os is the priority. Can anyone help please?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Hold the Option (Alt) key after hearing the startup chime and until you see all bootable partitions in the screen. Do you see the OS X partition? If so, select it to start up in OS X. If you want to start up in OS X by default, open System Preferences > Startup Disk, and select your OS X partition.
Respecting to your wireless mouse, you have to install the Windows support software.

Adobe reader x, and win7, sha-1 instead of sha-256

Good afternoon,
i have a problem similar to that posted at
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3707345
i try to sign the pdf (enable for signing with adobe livecycle ES, Right Managements)
but it always is signed with hash algorithm SHA-1
The hardware vendor of the smartcard, says that the problem is an adobe problem, because signing the file with its legacy software all works fine, and with its software the digest is SHA-256 (but the produced file is obviously not a signed pdf..)
For italian law the supported digest is SHA-256, and NOT SHA-1
I'm using the latest adobe reader version (10.1) and Win7
P.S.: adobe livecycle, enabling the pdf for signing with livecycle Right Management Service, put a sign with an adobe certificate and returns a pdf ready to be signed, and in this pdf the adobe sign is SHA-1
could be this the problem?
So, before signing the pdf it just contains an adobe SHA-1 sign (coming from livecycle web service)
With regards

Hi GP,
It's the smart card (or more correctly the software on the smart card) that is the bottleneck to getting to SHA-256. Here's what happens:
NOTE: When I say Acrobat I really mean both Acrobat and Reader
•    The user initiates the signing operation
•    Acrobat asks the user to pick a digital ID
•    The user select a digital ID from the drop-down list on the Sign Document dialog and then clicks the Sign button
•    Acrobat needs to write the file to disk for security purposes (another issue) and puts up the Save As dialog
•    The user selects a file name and save location and Acrobat writes the file to disk and it's at this time two things happen:
    o    The signature appearance is created so it can be part of the signed data (what you see in the signature field is not the signature, but rather a pictorial representation of the signature)
    o    A hole is created in the file and filled with zeros as a place holder where the actual signature will be written
•    Acrobat computes the digest over the file, excluding the hole filled with zeros. By default Acrobat is using the SHA-256digest method
•    Acrobat needs to get the digest encrypted (signed) by the private key associated with the signers digital ID
    o    If Acrobat has access to the private key it calls on the RSA library to do the encryption,
    o    If Acrobat doesn't have access to the private key it sends the SHA-256 digest to the software that does have access to the private key... In your case that's the cryptographic software residing on the smart card
•    It's up to the cryptographic software to feed the 32 byte SHA-256 digest into its encryption algorithm and have the private key encrypt the digest
•    The software on the smart card cannot handle a digest as large as 32-bytes, so it returns an error
•    In Acrobat 9.0.0 and earlier once the error message was returned the signing process was aborted and signature did not get created. Starting with version 9.1 if a PKCS#11 (the specification for smart cards) error is returned Acrobat falls back to re-computing the digest using SHA-1 and starts the process again. It's here where the smart card software is getting the 20-byte SHA-1 digest and can get it encrypted using the private key.
•    Once the encrypted SHA-1 digest (this is really the digital signature) is computed the smart card sends it back to Acrobat
•    Acrobat in turn writes the signature into the hole it created in the PDF file, overwriting the zeros with actual hex values.
And that’s how you get a digital signature based on the SHA-1 digest method. If you absolutely need to use SHA-256 your only option is to get a newer smart card that can handle the larger digest.

Problems with hp deskjet 870 Cse and Win7 64 bit drivers

I have been using this printer for years without problems. WinXP and Win7 working fine on my 32 bit laptop.
Recently upgraded to a 64 bit laptop and the drivers installed just fine however the danged thing doesn't print.
Even the 'test print' job hangs in the print queue showing a print error.
Not sure this is related but,
The Windows application log shows a bunch of error messages source 'Bonjour Service' at about the time I was trying on my 64 bit machine:
Task Scheduling Error: Continuously busy for more than a second
Task Scheduling Error: m->NextScheduledEvent 998
Task Scheduling Error: m->NextScheduledSPRetry 998
this cycle repeats over and over again
Task Scheduling Error: m->NextScheduledSPRetry 13728
I notice that many people have been having problems over the years with Win7 and HP printers.
I don't know whether to swear off of HP or windows. So far, I am just swearing AT them both.

Hello bz2012,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I see you are having issues printing with the Deskjet 870 since upgrading to Windows 7 64-bit. You could attempt to add the printer with an alternate driver.
Installing an Alternate Print Driver in Windows 7 for a USB Cable Connection.
The printer driver you would more than likely be best to use is the 9800. Let me know if this allows you to print.
Using the Print and Scan Dr may also be a helpful means of troubleshooting / resolving the issue. Let me know what the results are, what passes, fails, etc.

Ipod Touch and Win7

Ipod Touch works fine with WinXP but when I transfer it to Itunes on Win 7 it syncs but will not replay the music. I have tried all combinations of win7 administrator rights, checked the Ipod settings, changed USB cables, erased Itunes and alll trace of Apple before reinstalling everything; but no luck. Is there an incompatability between the 2ng Gen Itouch and Win7 and ITunes 10, or another explanation?

You can try go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and Settings and then try setting up the iPod again but from backup.

Since other iPods work OK that indicates either a software problem or hardware problem with your iPod.

What iP address is shown? If it starts with 169 yo never connect to the router.
Have you tried powering off and then back on your router?
Does the iPod successfully connect to other networks?

P45 and Win7 problems?

Hi,
My system is about 10 months old, homebuilt, originally installed Vista64. It took a while but with bios Ver.1.4 was finally able to get stable,Ram at 1066 and OC to 3.0ghz.
Upgraded to Win7 64. Started having random blue, green or black screen crashes. Flashed to Ver 1.6 . This did not seem to help or make things worse. All drivers and Win7 were up to date. No problems running memtest or prime.
Next I setup a dual boot with XP sp3 32bit. Also went from the onboard sound to Soundblaster. XP runs fine with no crashes. Have had this setup for about a month.
Today, set ram back to 800mhz. Still getting the crashes in Win7. Most time crash starts with mouse lock and audio stutter if music is playing, this lasts for about 1 to 2 secs then screen goes green or light blue/white or black. Then have to hit reset. PC will then reboot to option for safe mode but loses wireless mouse and keyboard, has to time out then will load windows and mouse and keyboard will start to work again.
I downloaded the latest beta bios but did flash yet....I hate flashing the bios.
Any help will be appreciated....
Thanks,

Quote
All I can say is don't mess with flashing BIOS again as 1.6 seems to be just fine for the rest of us with P45 Plat
Unless you have 4 sticks of matched RAM. Which there is a bug in 1.6 that causes the chipset to be confused about the size of the RAM sticks and you end up with 5 memory slots and 12GB of RAM.
Also, the newest beta compared to the 1.6 final is far better in RAM performance. I am seeing 33% Bandwidth increase and greatly reduced latency in my overclocks.
But down to the real matter.. The major culprit is almost certainly the dedicated sound card.
