Entertainment mode console doesn't like second moni

I've got a dual-monitor setup, using an X-Fi in entertainment mode. The console doesn't like being on the second monitor. Once it is there, it goes "flaky" flickering and moving around on the display. Put it back on the first display and it works normally again. I've got .00.3, I guess I'll go checking for updates.

*bump*?also, I'm running Vista x64. Is this problem?a driver issue?Message Edited by madhartigan on 09-28-20070:56 PM

Weird problem with CMSS-3DHeadphone in Entertainment Mode (Xtreme Mus

Ok here is the thing.. CMSS-3D in Game Mode works perfectly and i can hear exactly where the sound goes when i "Test" it and the helicopter sound starts. But in entertainment mode it doesn't work at all. When i test, each virtual speaker has different volum, some of them i can barly hear and i know this isn't right cause my dad has the same card. When I manualy press each virtual speaker, then FRONT?is Front. Front-left is played in only LEFT instead of between front and left, left is LEFT and rear-left is also ONLY LEFT, back sounds like FRONT, it does the same on the other side. This is not right and i wonder what is causing it to do this!?Sum up; CMSS-3DHeadphone is screwed up in Entertainment Mode, but works perfectly in Game Mode. oh before you ask, I use headphones ofcourse with pure left and right speakers. I got Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic, and Windows XP ProfessionalMessage Edited by insanetk on 08-05-200702:6 AM

Thats happened to me a few times now and the only solution is to re-install the drivers. You'll see, it will all go back to normal after a re-install.

Entertainment mode spdif output showing as PCM

how do i get my x-fi platinum card to simply to passthrough SPdif to my receiver without adding anything to it.
All I want is to be able to listen to music and games in pro logic 2 again instead of lousey 2.

If you want to pass the signal out undecoded, you need to essentially tell the card to stop decoding. In the Entertainment Mode console, click on the Dolby or DTS button, set the Bitstream out setting to On (External Decoder).

MP3-Library doesn't like some of MediaSource's ID3 t

Just a tip for MP3-Library users:
On rare occasions, MediaSource 3.30.2 will produce an ID3 tag that MP3-Library doesn't like. (This is pretty rare -- out of 45 tracks I updated the tags on, 6 did this.) This results in the file being displayed as corrupted. If you select "Analyze/Fix MP3," it finds a frame or two with random specifications at the very start of the file, followed by a single bad frame, and then all good frames.
If you check all availiable fix options (delete selected frames [check the junk and bad ones], delete garbage before st frame, delete garbage after last frame), it lops about 30 bytes off the end of the tag/header and takes a few good frames off the start of the file.
According to MP3Utility and EncSpot, there's nothing wrong with the files, and they play just fine in MediaSource, Winamp, and on the Zen. The header data that was destroyed doesn't affect the ID3 data. It only seems to have removed the Xing header. (No, I don't use Xing. LAME 3.97 alpha puts Xing-compatible headers on its VBR files.)
The following are the summary data that MP3Utility shows. This is from the original file, fresh out of LAME:
<i>File size: 3,63,232 bytes
Offset to first frame header: 2,630 bytes
MPEG version .0; Layer III
Bitrate: VBR (Xing); Sample rate: 44,00 Hz
Channel mode: Joint stereo
Private: No; CRCs: No; Copyrighted: No
Original: No; Emphasis: None
Frame size: ,52 samples/frame
Frame length: 47 bytes/frame (unpadded)
Pad size: byte(s)
Estimated frames: 8,945
Estimated time: 3:54 (234 secs.)</i>
This is after importing the file into the PC Music Library and clicking "Update Tag." I didn't modify anything, just told it to re-write the ID3 tag:
<i>File size: 3,63,232 bytes
Offset to first frame header: 2,630 bytes
MPEG version .0; Layer III
Bitrate: VBR (Xing); Sample rate: 44,00 Hz
Channel mode: Joint stereo
Private: No; CRCs: No; Copyrighted: No
Original: No; Emphasis: None
Frame size: ,52 samples/frame
Frame length: 47 bytes/frame (unpadded)
Pad size: byte(s)
Estimated frames: 8,945
Estimated time: 3:54 (234 secs.)</i>
And this is after MP3-Library "fixed" it:
<i>File size: 3,629,325 bytes
Offset to first frame header: 2,600 bytes
MPEG version .0; Layer III
Bitrate: 224 kbps; Sample rate: 44,00 Hz
Channel mode: Joint stereo
Private: No; CRCs: No; Copyrighted: No
Original: No; Emphasis: None
Frame size: ,52 samples/frame
Frame length: 73 bytes/frame (unpadded)
Pad size: byte(s)
Estimated frames: 4,96
Estimated time: 2:0 (30 secs.)</i>
No, MP3-Library DIDN'T chop 04 seconds off the file. The estimated frame count and length are WRONG because the Xing header was destroyed by MP3-Library. This header would normally tell MP3Utility how long the file really is, otherwise it takes the bitrate of the first frame and extrapolates that over the file length. (Without this header, many programs' progress sliders won't be as accurate.)
So, if MP3-Library tells you a file is corrupted after going through MediaSource and the file wasn't corrupted before, DON'T fix it. You'll only make things worse. I've never seen MediaSource or my Zen actually damage a file.
(At first, I told it to fix 'em. Now I'm going through and restoring the backups it made.)

i have used mp3-libary many times before because it said a large amount of my collection was corrupted. but it seams to be better.as i havent used media source to import them so i think they may have actually be corrupt. but interesting findings.

Reachability mode needs to be like note 3, shortened in height and width please?

Change reach ability mode to be more like the Note 3, not just reduced in heighth but also in the width. Possible ? Maybe in The future?

A different but similar problem with my Gen 3 iPod. After installing iTunes 7, whenever I am playing anything on the iPod through the Mac (PM G4), iTunes pops up these dialog boxes that tell me that it can't update the iPod because the file is in use. If I check the pane about the iPod in iTunes, it tells me the iPod is up to date and doesn't need updating.
Everything works apart from this annoying dialog box (and the 'bing' when it appears, about every 120 seconds)!
I suspect iTunes 7.1 will fix some of this, including the 'recovery mode' problem, but why wasn't 7.1 made for 7.0? I hope that Apple aren't taking the Microsoft path of software development.

CMSS 3d headphone not working under entertainment mode.

Hello everyone,
I purchased a X-Fi titanium? in the last few days and installed the latest drivers (2_7_0007) and console lauchers (2_6_30). However I found the following problems.
[I have already tried to uninstall and reinstall the driver and the applications. The on board sound card has been disabled in BIOS
my operation system is Vista SP, motherboard: ASUS P5Q, CPU: E6550, 4GB RAM. ]
) under entertainment mode, the CMSS 3D headphone is not functional. I have tried to follow the instructions of how to turning on CMSS 3d on the creative website, but it seems that i have different control interface to the instructions.
interface from my computer

However under Game Mode i can get access to CMSS 3D headphone settings, and this feature do sound great.

2) The other thing is that when I plug in my headphone the console <img border="0" src="file:///C:/Users/weijay/Desktop/entertainment%20mode.jpg">launcher could not detect it automatically. Is it true that this function only works with the front audio dri've bay?
3) another related problem is that after I plug in the headphone and i pressed the auto detect button, the system can only find a 2 speaker system connection.
So if anybody can help me with above problems I will be more than grateful. Thank you very much.

Update on my issue. I got everything to work flawlessly now. For some reason If I clicked the crystalizer, CMSS 3d or if I think even when i tried adjusting the Bass Crossover it had no effect under the Creative console launcher. When I went into the Audio Console and started messing with those options there they worked great!! So for now on I'm sticking to the Audio Console instead of that launcher, now I can listen to my **bleep** music in 7. like I'm supposed to.

Aux-in lag in entertainment mode (x-

Why does Entertainment mode lag the aux-in?
I have the sound output from my tv cable box plugged directly (jack to jack) into the aux-in on my x-fi but the lag is ridiculous, its unusable.
If I play the sound on the TV at the same time as the xfi output its so bad that it echos. If I turn the TV down and just listen from the x-fi, the drift in lip synch is so obvious that it makes me annoyed that Ive actually spend good money on this card, what gives?
Ive upgraded from a 4 year old SBLi've! that worked perfectly on all inputs, I expected it to be better, not worse. Dont get me wrong, theres some great advances on the x-fi but why the massi've delay on the main entertainment channel?
But... if I switch to Gaming mode theres no lag!! It works like my old Li've but then I lose the rich sound of entertainment mode.
In Creation mode theres no lag UNLESS SVM IS SWITCHED ON (which is a pain in the rear as SVM is great for levelling out loud adverts vs the quieter programs) so I've made a custom tab for the TV with no effects, just if I want the main TV sound as center fill I have to turn off SVM.
What a mess - I didnt expect all this from a class of 2005 card, I really looked forward to SVM as well as having a new audio card. I doubt whether theres anything I can do about this lag is there?

i have just noticed this issue, my god can creative no do anything right, i just hope i have not had this card 60 days, as i am returning it, cannot be bothred anymore, lag with dolby digital last time on audigy2 zs plat, i had to buy the ddts00 last time to fix that, what should i buy this time a forking sledge hammer.
I wish creative would actually test their hardware before releasing it, what a bunch of idiots, and customer service is terrible, they send you second hand goods for the new ones you return to them, thats if your lucky, as last time they sent me a 6 channel audigy 2 card as a replacement for a black audigy2 zs platinum card and li've dri've, they cannot even tell the difference between black and white as audigy 2 li've dri've is WHITE.
I am never buying another piece of creative hardware as its obvious that they have serious issues with understanding things, let alone the mistakes they have made recently with their hardware, cannot even get a simple 2 channel stereo input to work, i woudl suggest you return the card for a refund if you can and use your older hardware, its probs better anyways.
Yet another unhappy creative customer, i think someone should start a collection for someone to print out the whole of this forum and send it to creative head office, but then again they would just write back and ask you what is the model of your sound card or what operating system are you using.
i might even start up a website , get vid camera , video me smashing all my creative hardware before sending the bits back to creative, pos

Silent mode switcher doesn't work!

Most likely yes, as long as it's not due to user damage.

SPDIF In not working, no SPDIF tab in Entertainment mode, X-FI Extreme PCI

Hi All,
I am trying toget the SPDIF input working with my HDTV as the source of the audio input. I have looked everywhere in these forums and there are many references to the SPDIF tab in Entertainment mode, but this does not exist in my software. I have done the software auto update and it tells me I have the latest software and drivers. How do I get the SPDIF input to work. I would think it should be as easy as turning on this input, but I cannot figure out how. HELP!!

Well basically it is possible, and I've found this out. Apparently Dell released a driver or something that allows it to work, but then only if you install a 3rd party modified xp version of the creative suite. I don't remember where I found it, but it was through google... Using some term including x-fi, dts, and vista.... Can't seem to find it now. Anyway, it had a download for the whole creative suite that was modified from the xp version for Vista, however it was buggy as hell, caused driver issues and blue screens, and ended up causing me to have to reinstall Vista altogether again. In other words, it's possible, but I don't recommend it until it's officially supported... Don't know when this will be yet... *crosses fingers*
Luckily I've got a dual OS system with XP too, and I switch to that when I want to use my Xbox 360... However due to Microsoft also being terrible in that department... I now get entertainment off of its 3 red lights... (For those of you who don't know, 3 red lights = hardware error. Sending into microsoft for repair typically is a 2 month process... I'm still waiting on my prepaid shipping box to arri've and it's been 4 days... Will be a similar wait to get it to them, 4-6 weeks for them to actually repair, and another week or so to get it all shipped back). Although even when the console worked, my dsl modem sometimes cut out when playing on Xbox li've and dropped signals, reported errors, etc.
What is with the companies producing technology nowadays? I just want to play Gears in 5. on Xbox li've... *cries*Message Edited by Supercoolyo on 07-22-20070:54 AM

IPhone 6 restarts in emergency mode and doesn't recognize my passcode

My iPhone 6 started having a problem while I was texting, with delayed response and double characters. I cleared the programs and power down and back up. The phone wasn't operational when rebooted, it didn't connected to WiFi or cell, and said is was over heated. I power it down and left it off for 15 minutes, but occurred the same condition upon reboot. I looked on line and someone suggest a hard reset (holding the sleep and home buttons until the apple logo appears. Now the iPhone 6 will only boot up to emergency mode and doesn't accept my passcode. I am using iCloud to back up the phone. How can I correct this condition?

Sounds like you need to bring the phone to Apple for evaluation.

MacBook Pro doesn't like my 3rd gen. iPod

Just got a new MacBook Pro (work-issue = no administrator password for me), which replaced a Titanium PowerBook. Tried to hook up and sync my 3rd gen. iPod for the first time, using the Firewire port of course. (Music library has already moved to new machine.)
The iPod doesn't seem to be seen by the MacBook Pro. It doesn't show up in the iTunes source list or on the desktop. The iPod goes into "Do Not Disconnect" mode, then it freezes.
I've seen other people posting with similar or same issues, but no resolution. What could be going on?
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Update: I have discovered that if I connect the iPod to the Mac with the Firewire cable only, things work perfectly. If I connect thru the dock with the iPod sitting in it (like I was before), things go haywire.
So I guess the MacBook Pro likes my 3rd gen. iPod just fine. The iPod dock is what it doesn't like.
Weird. Thanks for all your thoughts.

Why will my Mac 8,1 intel desktop not stay in sleep mode for more than 5 seconds?
Have tried repeatedly and end up shutting down instead of "sleeping:.

Hello, most usually it's some USB device causing that, but...
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed. Or an errant process eating up RAM.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...
