EAX issues in games with Audigy SE, one way or the ot

Hello everyone. I hope I'm asking for help in the correct forum. If not, please forgive my noobishness. =)?I don't know what's wrong, but EAX in Bioshock has terrible issues. I have XPx64 SP2, Audigy SE and when my corvette was new, I obtained SoundBlaster drivers specifically for x64 from April 06. But these were terrible. In many games (f.e. FEAR) the sound was terribly distorted after a while with unbearable loud mechanic buzzing. I had a serious issue in Oblivion as it was rebooting my computer when I was loading a game and it took me a while until I realized that the x64 drivers are causing it. I got rid of them and installed reference drivers I bought on CD with the card and everything was fine. Now Bioshock came out. Overall the EAX works good in it, but I have some serious crackling. I tried to lower the sound channels/streams values in INI, but it didn't remove crackling. So I though I would update drivers again. Indeed, Creative has released unified drivers for XP and Vista last July. I installed them, launched Bioshock with EAX ON, loaded a game and ... AARGH, my ears! The sound was like zapping loudly and rapidly, a real acoustic horror. This means I have serious EAX issues with all newer drivers than the reference ones on CD, but even with the new ones I have crackling in Bioshock anyway, with addition of the audio distortion. I have tried to turn off EAX and use CMMS3D instead, with Reverb which doesn't seem to cause any problems in BS. The sound was deep and rich, except that the crackling and stuttering is still there!?No flawless sound for me. Is my Soundblaster physically borked or something... =(?

Well, I know that with SE, EAX processing is left for the CPU. You think this would be the source of problem?
I have no option to select from software or hardware mode in games' audio menu, devs normally don't do add that option to audio menus (at least I never seen it in any game yet). In games I can normally only select whether I want EAX or not, or just like in case of BioShock, whether I want to turn Reverb on or off, and it would be left for the drivers to call the CPU to process EAX.Message Edited by RogueKeeper on 0-6-200707:5 AM

Peace, I am one of millions who is loyal and loves apple, I was not completely happy with iOS7 for one thing which the new themes and I really think that the old icons theme is what's makes it unique, I was wondering if we can make an option to choose from new and previous once?

You are not addressing Apple here.
No, once you install iOS 7 that is it.

Can you share games with more than one iTouch?

I am about to buy 2 iTouches for my family. My question is can I purchase a game and use it on both of the iTouches? Or do I have to purchase the same game twice? Thanks!

Issue in fault mintoring in a one way service in Oracle BTM

Hi,
I am using BTM 12.1.0.3 I am trying to monitor fault in BTM. For asynchronous and synchronous service I am able to view the fault but for a one way even though fault monitoring is enabled I am not able to view the fault and know about the occurrence of the fault. Can anyone please tell me what can be the issue? Is fault monitoring is not possible with one way services?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Yes correct. In a one-way operation if the message arrives at the calling provider then no response/fault is provided by the provider. This means that BPEL won't wait for the response/fault and continues processing.
If you want to be aware of any fault you can obviously log the fault from your database PL/SQL procedure.
Thanks

How to get a DDE advise link working on a DDE server with more than one topic on the same service, and with an equal item name?

When I create a DDE server with serveral topics, all on the same service and with the same item name (different topic), it appears that an advise link does not function properly. It doesn't work at all, it update only when the advise link is terminated or only one of the topics can use an advise link.
eg.
On one DDE server I have 2 topics:
topic1:
servicename: DDEserver
topicname : C(1)
itemnames : P(1), P(2), P(3)
topic2:
servicename: DDEserver
topicname : C(2)
itemnames : P(1), P(2), P(3)
Only the topicnames differ!
Now I can't get an advise link working on one of the items (sometimes on one, but not
on another).
Normal (non-advise) links are working fine however.
(In my case there is no other solution since this DDEserver should be compatible with an older one, created earlier.)

I really don't know DDE very well. It is usually recommended that you switch to using ActiveX. You may not be correctly configuring the netDDE server. There is an example in the reource library that shows how to do this. You may also want to look at the DDE advise examples that came with LabVIEW 5.1 and earlier.

I keep getting the box that asks "Do you use the Yahoo! Toolbar on multiple Computers. It asks Save to my Yahoo! ID, or No thanks, just save to this computer. How do I get rid of this one way or the other?

When I log on to Firefox, I get this block that pops up saying, "Do you use the Yahoo! Toolbar on multiple computers? It has 2 buttons asking "Save to my Yahoo! ID or No thanks, just save to this computer" It drops down from the Yahoo toolbar, next to the Y! on the left side of the tool bar. I have tried the Save button and no response, I tried the No thanks button no response. I tried the underlined "Learn more" and it too no response. I tried the close X but that does not get rid of this box. I tried right clicking and no response. It stays there through out while working on the mail, I cannot access the that toolbar so I cannot use the buttons on this tool bar. Please help or I will have to try another browser to see if it go away.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Running Totals, formula statement works one way, not the other

Here is the problem in a nutshell...
I am designing a report where I am using 2 running totals based on whether a SQL Stored Proc dataset field (text) is Null or Not Null... So I design the 2 running totals and put this code in each "Evaluate"
IsNull({usp_rpt_RemediationData;1.Action})
- and -
NOT IsNull({usp_rpt_RemediationData;1.Action})
The FIRST one works. The SECOND one does not - that is, it does not add a count for it.
In other words, I am just cycling through a table and counting 1 field, checking whether its Null, or not.
Why doesnt this rather simple and straight forward thing work!!!!????
Any help would be most appreciated.

The statement...
NOT IsNull({usp_rpt_RemediationData;1.Action})
DID NOT work when used as part of a running total - even adding the check for blank instead of just null (though the field is truly null).
However, using the EXACT same statement in a formula written for running totals - it does work...? Go figure... I cant explain it.
But thanks for the help!

System Crashs / Freezes in Games with Audigy 2 ZS b

Sry for my English i?m from germany ^^ but i hope anywhere can help me.

I'm having the same problem. At first I thought it was only in 5. analog mode, but I just had a game crash when using 2. settings. In 5. I get the lockup immediately even when playing an mp3.
windows xp pro

I just did a full OS reinstall (I was overdue on it, and having this problem crop up only gave me another reason to get it done). I ran all the utilities off the driver disk that came with the card, and then used the creative auto-update feature to download all the latest drivers. Conflict with recent windows update, perhaps?

Can't enable eax effects in game with entertainment mo

When I use creative alchemy and have my panel thing set for gaming mode the eax will stay highlighted in my ravenshield game. But when I try to use entertainment mode for the bass/ treble percents to work the eax is always greyed out. Any ways to fix it'sMessage Edited by MercenaryKnight on 06-04-200709:09 PM

No, thats why you must use "GAME" mode when "GAMING".... Its a no-brainer...

How to generate a report with more than one elements in the same graph??

I need to generate a custom report in OEM GC 10g featuring volume total capacity information and volume free capacity information both in the same graph on (Y-axis) and time on the (X-axis). I could generate only the total volume capacity graph individually, but how can the combined graph and the graph for free capacity be generated...

Is it your values in parameter NO separated by coma? And is it
parameter in where clause?
Do you want something like :
from table
where s_no in (NO) ?
If is answer "yes" you can create lexical parameter in report.
You can write in report sowething like:
select a.field1, a.field2,.....
from table a
&COND /* this is if is condition only one line after "from".
if you have more lien after where then you will put this &COND
in line where you want to have your multivalue.
Then in your trigger in form you should write:
sc_no := 'where a.sc_no in ('||:searchlist.c_no||')';
ADD_PARAMETER(PL_ID, 'pamametername', TEXT_PARAMETER, sc_no);
/* again this is if you have only one line with WHERE ili
conditions */
or you will write:
sc_no := 'and a.sc_no in ('||:searchlist.c_no||')';
ADD_PARAMETER(PL_ID, 'pamametername', TEXT_PARAMETER, sc_no);
It will substitute line in which is your conditions with
multivalue.

Problem with 2 PC - one 32 bits, the other 64 bits.

Hello,
I am just trying the Creative Cloud
I have 2 computers :
* one is an old 32 bits with an internet connection
* one- in another place - is a 64 bits but with no access to internet connection
I want to install After Effects CS6 on the 64 bits PC which has no internet connecion
Is it possible by
1/ downloading After Effects by the internet connection on the 32 bits PC ?
2/ transferring it on the 64 bits PC
3/ What to do next ? Enter a serial number as I have suscribed to Creative Cloud ?
How to obtain it ??
Thank you !!

Gizmo2D3D Internet connection is required to utilize the Creative Cloud. You could install a trial, connect to the Internet on the 64-bit system, and then sign in using the Adobe ID tied to your subscription. You would need to repeat this process at least every 30 days or less to allow the software to verify your eligibility to use the software however.
Is there no option of providing a wireless connection or some other way of accessing the Internet on the 64-bit computer? If not then I would recommend purchasing a perpetual version of our software as opposed to a subscription.

Two MacBooks with a mg6320 - one can scan the other cannot

Hi all,
I have two Macbook Pro's, both running Mavericks. I have not installed any Canon printer software on either. On one of the macbook pro's, I can scan from my wifi connected MG6320 from the built in Preview app. On the other, I cannot. It says that "Software for this device is not installed." I have the MG6320 set up on both using Airprint. What gives?
Thanks in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Nevermind, I figured it out! There was an install button I could click in the Preview app to install the necessary drivers. It's working now.

I replaced my old router with a new one, then tried the old one again, now the old one doesn't work.

I've had my old router (i'll call it router 1) for about two years now. I felt like changing it, so I got router 2. When I took the cables from router 1 and put it into router 2, the new router worked instantly. But when I tried switching routers again (I was curious), the router 1 no longer worked. Why is that?
When I plug router 2 back in it works fine but now if I try to use router 1 it doesn't work...

sort of. I had router two on for a couple hours then I turned it off and plugged in router 1. DIdn't work so I switched back to router 2 and then router 2 worked instantly

Can two people access WWF from an iPad, one way or the other?

I have downloaded Words with Friends on my iPad3, and I can play it via the WWF app icon, but if I try to access WWF via my Facebook page on the iPad, nothing happens. The same is true for my wife; she cannot access WWF via her Facebook page on the iPad. Nor can she access it via the WWF icon on the iPad. However, we can both access WWF via our Facebook pages on our home and work Dell PCs. Can we each access WWF on our iPad? If so, how?

it would seem like you need to get two of the same app. This is why I never will get the paid WWF, because it's very glitchy and issues like this.
but anyway, it seems you could download the free version for the ipad and the free version for the iphone.
both will show up on your ipad, one for your account and one setup with her's
you could also, though I'm not recommending you give this company your money, could get the free iPad version and the paid ipad version.
in either case, it would appear that you can't easily switch between users like I previously thought.
