Driver problem with SB LIve 5.1 Platinum card

This card is fine even at 6 to 7 years old, however after installing Adobe Audition 3 to do some mixing for gaming I noticed the front speaker headphone jack had no sound. I can't say if Audition was the fault or not but I did remove the program and all entries in the registry using the microsoft? tool. I have reinstalled the SB drivers for this device 3 times and after a fresh driver install the jack works perfectly but after shutting down and re starting the next day the no sound problem is back and nothing I do corrects it. At the rear of the card the output is just fine and I can even go up to the 5. surround system headphone jack and it is fine, just the front li've dri've is no sound. There is no static or any indication that something may be wrong with the jack , when it works it is perfect.
Is there a registry entry that may be corrupting that causes this. I have the DVD sound turned off in the hardware driver section as it should be to hear from the front jack. If I re installed the drivers again for this card I would have sound at the front jack, so who do you have to know in Creative to get some help with this. I am dissapointed that a software issue is not important enough to give support to a past product. I use four of these cards and the next time I choose new cards you can bet I will give a lot of thought to the support. I don't want a new card just some drivers that work.

I disabled the onboard audio ac97.
I checked the sound card in my friend's PC.
It worked.
when using creative diagnosis, it says hardware working, drivers properly installed but
while checking the speakers i am not able to listen to "Left Channel" or "Right Channel" etc.
I my friend's system, the same card worked.
Speakers Creative PC works LX520 5. speakers work...
So the card works.
My doubt is
PCI slot is working or not, but i tried with all 3 slots.
If PCI slot doesn't work, then my os Win98 and WinXp won' t have shown the "New device PCI Multimedia Audio device found", it is not the case , I recognises the card, installs the driver.
Will there be any specific patch or Hotfix for Krypton BKS700 Motherboard ?
Thanks

Iphone 3GS - windows 7 - syncing problems with windows live mail

I brought a new iphone 3gs last week and tried to sync it with my new dell PC running windows 7 (with windows live mail).
It wouldnt sync, so I read the forums and reset the sync history through itunes.
This worked, and synced my iphone to the computer. It appears to have backed up all my contacts on the iphone to somewhere on the PC (cant find where) but it hasnt copied the contacts from windows live mail to the iphone
Have I confused anyone??

Driver problems with Windows Professional XP 64bit Edition

Well, after looking around the forum here I found an answer that works! I wish I could remember who to give credit too though. I installed the latest Vista drivers and I got static all the time. I tried another members suggestion of disabling the X-Fi device in the Device manager every time I log off and then enable the X-Fi the next time I log in. I have great sound as long as I do that. Also, for connecting to a home system I am using the DTS-60, $00 on this website, but it works well if you havea DTS decoder. I am using the X-Fi extreme Music edition. Good Luck, hopefully another driver is on the way.

Problems with SB Live! 24-Bit and 5.1 ga

Hello, last week I buy a new sound card, the Sound Blaster Li've! 24-bit. All correct one, but the problem is with the games 5..
I have SWAT4 and Obscure that both are compatible with EAX and 5., and only they are heard in stereo.
I have looked at the whole configuration of the sound and everything is correct, the DVD is even heard perfectly in 5.. The drivers that I have installed they are since those that came me with the card, in internet I have not found none newer.
Yesterday I formatted just in case they had problems with the drivers of my old card or something. But anything, after to format and to install everything again, everything continues equally.
My PC is the following one (for if it serves as help):
Pentium4 3000Mhz
Memory 024 DDR400 Kingston (Dual channel)
MotherBoard ASUS P4P800
ATI Radeon 9600pro
Sound Blaster Li've! 24-bit
Speakers Creative Inspire 5. 5300
I hope you can help me.
Sorry for my bad english, i'm spanish.

Problem with new Scandisk 32GB CompactFlash Memory Card Extreme Pro 600x UDM

Canon provides an XF utility to read, combine, and export video files from the card to the computer. The utility works well with every CF card that I have used until I bought a new Scandisk CF card. The utility can access the XF files on the card but it cannot play them. Actually it does start to play then stops and starts. When I try to export a file to the computer it will not finish with even the smallest file. There is no problem with any of my other CF cards. Has anyone else seen this problem?

Now that I am in the correct forum the question is for those users who use the Canon XF Utility - is there any reason for it to act differently with one type of CF card as opposed to another? I have sort of solved the problem by using the PP Media Browser instead of the Canon Utility to read my CF cards.

Samsung hard drive problems with mid 2009 Macbook Pro

Arghh, this is driving me mad.
I'd like to know if anyone has installed a Samsung HM641JI SATA II hard drive into a mid 2009 Macbook Pro (mine is a 2.8Ghz) and, if so, how they managed it. The drive is 640GB. These are the steps I've taken:
1. Swap out the stock drive for the Samsung
2. Boot from a USB drive which contains a mirror of my system
3. When the system identified the new disk, I formatted it with 2 partitions (GUID table, HFS journaled)
4. Reboot
5. System is very slow. Boots from USB but can't use keyboard to login
6. Switch off and try again
7. Remove Samsung drive
8. Reboot from USB (works perfectly)
9. Downgrade firmware to 1.6
10. Replace samsung drive and try again
11. System boots from USB
12. Verify that drive is running at 1.5Ghz
13. Disk utility and system profiler both crash
14. Disk unmounts by itself and other random weirdness
15. Remove Samsung drive
I've read endless reports about the firmware in this model of Macbook Pro and its issues with SATA II but struggling to find anything current and specific. Two questions:
a. Is there anythign I can do to get this drive to play nicely?
b. What drive should I get if the answer to a is no?
As a bit of background.. my system began playing up last week with lots of spinning beach balls resulting in forced switch offs. Booting from a mirror on a USB drive works perfectly so I concluded that the drive was on its way out. A drive test utility confirmed this. I'm now wondering if it really was the drive or the cable or the logic board.
Any advice appreciated.
Cheers
//A

I'm coming around to the idea that this might be a problem with the SATA cable rather than the drive.
I currently have the stock drive (Hitachi) back in the macbook. It mounted for a while and was then ejected when I tried writing data to it. System profiler reports that "There was an error while scanning for Serial-ATA devices."
I was able to mount the same drive in a USB enclosure this afternoon without any problems. Right now, I seem to be having issues with both the Samsung drive and the Hitachi drive - I wasn't suspicious of thr latter because I thought it was failing.
I found one or two accounts of other people having similar problems that were resolved with a new sata cable.
How does a cable fail? Could this be my problem?
Cheers

Hi folk,
i have a problem with my HP AIO L7680.
I have made an upgrade to Windows 8.1 x64
I install the actual driver version 14.8.0.
The printer runs but the scanner makes trouble.
When i will start a scan process i will get an error message and the scan process will be canceled.
I will get this error message with photoshop, HP Solution Center and any other scanner software.
The HP Print and Scan Doctor says i should contact the support.
Here i am any idea?
By the way i disabled my Antivirus Software during the installation.
Thanks a lot.
greetings
Markus
This question was solved.

Hi Markus,
I understand that you are having an issue with scanning after upgrading to Windows 8.1. I will try my best to help you resolve this issue. I just need a little more information. What operating system are you running on your computer? Are you connecting wireless or with a USB cable? What is the error message that you are getting?
I am including this document for A 'No Scan Options' or 'Scan settings are not set' Message Displays on the All-in-One there are trouble shooting steps for Windows 8 that will work for Windows 8.1.
I hope this helps, let me know.
Thank you,

Oracle XA driver problem with WLS 7.0.1.0, Oracle 9.0.1

We are using simplified chinese, after swith to bea jdriver, it messed up
all the encoding. So we cannot display Chinese character correctly.
We are using WLS 7.0.1.0, Oracle 9.0.1 on both Windows and Solaris 8
environment, BEA supplied JDK 1.3.1_03.
We have many diffrent problems with oracle drivers:
1. We want to use XA driver to support distributed transaction, However:
* bea jdriver xa messes up with encoding
* when using oracle 901 driver, everything works fince except webservices.
Workshop application access the ejb, then the workshp application sets
isolation level, but oracle driver does not support it and gives error. Is
there a way to turn off isolation level in workshop? I tried manually edit
weblogic-ejb-jar.xml, however,workshop cannot redeploy it after that.
2. When not using XA, oracle thin driver works fine. But we lost XA
capability.
Any work around?

I did try to change the value in this config file as well, but did not help.
In fact, the installation default setting is with
'<transaction-isolation-level>' commented out.
And when I use bea oracle jdriver, it somehow messed up with database
character set encoding, so our Chinese characters could not be retrieved
correctly. And I try to set the encoding of jdriver to 'GBK', it did not
work.

Hello Ma,
The transaction isolation level value for EJBs backing the JWS files is
specified in the <transaction-isolation-level> tag in the
WEB-INF/weblogic-jws-config.xml file of a Workshop project. You can
manipulate this value to serve your purpose.
Please do let me know how it goes.

Having hard drive problems with 2011 macbook pro

Hey all,
I am having some hard drive issues with a 2011 Macbook Pro running OS X Mavericks.
How it happened: I was browsing the web when suddenly I got the spinny-wheel-of-death. The spinny wheel of death stuck around for much longer than usual, and eventually my computer wouldn't even respond to mouse input (the mouse wouldn't move). Nothing worked, so I did a hard reset of my computer. When I rebooted the machine, it took me into "Recovery Disk Mode".
Here are the diagnostics that I've done: In "Recovery Disk Mode", I have the option to use the Disk Utility, which I have done. My main volume, called "Macintosh HD" is grayed out - and not mountable. When I run "first aid" on it, it is not able to verify the disk because of an "Invalid B-tree node size". It then tells me to repair the disk. I have tried repairing the disk, but it fails - and that is not entirely unexpected because all of the forum posts that I have read up until now say that Disk Utility cannot repair this specific type of error.
3rd party software I have tried: Based on the forum posts that I have read, Disk Warrior is especially capable at fixing this kind of error, so I went to my local computer shop, purchased the software, and booted into it. Disk Warrior did not recognize my drive, and did not even show it in the list of available options.
Other things I have tried: I purchased a Seagate external drive, and I tried to use Disk Utility to copy the contents from my MBP's hard drive over to the external drive, but when I do so, "Disk Utility" tells me that "Recovery partition restores can only be done on GPT partition maps." I have also had it give me another error message where it says it "cannot verify source - error 254".
Additionally, I have seen around the internet that many people try using "fsck" to fix this issue, but I haven't been able to find a good explanation of the proper steps when using "fsck", nor how to specify to the "fsck" program that I want it to fix my "Macintosh HD" volume. I've opened up the terminal, and gone into the "/dev/" folder, but I don't know which item in that folder, or any other folder, would properly lead down the path to my "Macintosh HD" volume. Also, the man pages seem to be of little help here.
One option I would like to try, but I have not been able to, is to try putting my MBP into Target Disk Mode, and see if my desktop machine (a Dell) can see it. The problem here is that my Dell only has USB ports - no Firewire, and obviously no Thunderbolt ports. I would need to find a way to plug my MBP into my Dell while it is in Target Disk Mode, but from what I can tell, that's impossible if I don't have a Firewire or Thunderbolt port on my Dell.
So, now having explained everything I have tried, can y'all give me any advice on how I can recover my drive without completely repartitioning it? Although most of my important data and files are located on cloud services, there are definitely some files on the drive that I don't have backed up, and I would like to recover the drive without losing those files. What suggestions can you give me? Thanks!

Yes, BUT...
... there are many problems that are really easy to eliminate by replacing the Hard drive, including ones that have nothing to do with actual Drive Hardware failure. These include corrupted install of Mac OS X, its EFI partition, clobbered partition tables, or the appearance of Bad Blocks in a critical area.
Any of these problems can sometimes be eliminated by re-initializing the entire drive and writing Zeroes, and re-installing from scratch. The trouble is, this process takes hours to complete, and is not guaranteed to be successful -- you may still need a new drive after all that effort.
I learned from my Plumber that consumers have no appetite for solutions that might work, and detest return visits for any related problems whatsoever. You or your friend may have had your drive replaced, not because it actually failed, but because the situation was troublesome, and the provider thought you would not tolerate anything less than a crisp, complete fix on the first attempt. And based on the cost of technician time, it may have even been cheaper that way.

[SOLVED!] On USB drives, problems with non-English chars and HAL

Hello,
I am having a problem with non-English caracters (áãàçéẽê...) on files stored on my USB drive.
On Windows they're created with the correct name. But on Linux the files have the non-English characteres replaced by '?' and are not accessible.
If I manuallly mount the drives using 'mount -o iocharset=utf8 /dev/sdb1 /media/usbdisk' the characters are OK, so I think I just need to get HAL to pass the correct parameters to mount. However I don't know how to do that, and haven't found any good solution.
I tried to build a custom kernel setting the default charset as UTF-8 and it didn't work.
Any ideas? I'm using x86-64, HAL 0.5.13-3 and my locale is pt-BR.UTF-8.
Thanks!
EDIT: Actually, this is not a HAL problem, but a problem with 'exo'. For the solution, I edited /etc/xdg/xfce4/mount.rc and added iocharset=utf8 to the [vfat] category.

I don't use Thunar presently, but I looked in the Thunar Volume Manager doc and I didn't find anything to change the mount options of removable drives. I am not quite sure if it's possible or not. Maybe someone using it can tell for sure.
But if it is not possible to change the mount options, a possible solution is to disable the Thunar Volume Manager plugin and to use something else more configurable to manage the automount function.
Personally I use the halevt package from AUR which uses configuration files in the xml format.
It's not so easy to use but is highly configurable.
But there exists other tools also.
I can help you with halevt if you choose that way...

Print driver problem with OS 10.4.6

I recently installed 10.4.6 and ever since have been unable to print via a network on a Lexmark Optra T614 (duplex). All was working fine until the upgrade to 10.4.6. I have downloaded a driver from Lexmark's website and successfully installed it to my system via the wizard - message was "you have successfully installed . . . ". However cannot find it to install through the Print Centre. I am running it through a router shared with a PC (Windows 2000). No problems at the Pc end. As I said prior to purchasing 10.4.6 all was working fine. I have tried to set up to print through the local network via the PC - without success. At one point (not sure what I did) actually got the Mac talking to the printer. The lights were activated and it made a few attempts but then cancelled out. I then tried something else and it didn't work, so now I am back to where I was when I started. Can you help with this one Greg? regards Ian

Hi Greg, Still no answer to my printing problem.
The Optra T driver is probably right.
I trashed the drivers and did a fresh download and reinsatlled. It is an Optra T driver.
Since you can't print using generic postscript, I don't think you
have a driver problem. If the printer supports LPD or
IPP, you probably need to enter a device queue name
in Printer Setup. (No queue name for HP Jetdirect
protocol) L1, P1, LPT1, and print are common queue names
I have set up so that Printer Name is 192.168.0.200. This automatically selected Lexmark Optra T. Also the queue name appeared as 192_168_0200-1. Host name was blank and Driver Version 10.4 and PPD File Version is 10.4.3.3.0. I tried to print the Print box showed Preparing . . then Processing Page 1 and dissapeared in the normal manner. I opened the Printer Monitor (in the dock) and it showed the job in the queue as it should and the Status showed: printing. The blue bar scrolls and the message Connected to 192.168.0.200 comes up. The printer shows no sign of receiving the file. I have done this numerous times. I have also keyed in the computer name in the location and still no go - just the same outcome. The computer name is ian-brownlees-computer.local.
Look in the printer manual or google for it.
Unfortunately I don't have a manual but have been trying to locate one.
Any further clues??
