External audio cards not working properly

First off, i have an HP Dv7-1134us laptop. AMD 2.0 GHZ dual core processor, 4 gigs of ram, etc etc. I have 2 external audio cards:
1.Presonus Firestudio Mobile(firewire)
2.Line 6 UX1(usb)
I had an HP desktop before that I used for recording, but that recently broke down so I have been trying to use my laptop. I bought a Firewire express card for the presonus, and installed everything along with it. However, while my computer recognizes the device, it will consistently turn off and on...but no audio comes out.
The Line 6 ux1 works, but it crackles and pops at a ridiculous rate. When recording more than 1 track, it clutters up my speakers with nothing but crackling and distortion.
I have tried an Express Booster for the first issue, have tried disabling my LAN card, have tried disabling IRQ's in the control panel and nothing has changed. Can ANYONE help me or am I going to have to really jump ship and just get a mac?

Sorry about the delay in replying....
The updated ATI drivers that should apply to my machine are at
http://sites.amd.com/us/game/downloads/Pages/radeon_win7-64.aspx
or the file I was originally pointed to
http://sites.amd.com/us/game/downloads/Pages/integrated_win7-32.aspx#3
but these won't install here, neither will any other updates from ATI, even older ones.
I'm waiting for a family member to bring round his Win 7 64-bit machine as I want to compare the Microsoft files referred to in the failure messages on his machine with mine. I'm trying not to have to re-install Windows.....
I think the recording tab effect is just a Microsoft programming problem that happens to show up the fault in the ATI usb part of the motherboard chipset drivers, and I think it may appear because the little recording meters that appear are driven by some recording code of Microsoft's. Here using a powered or unpowered usb2 hub cures the problem as it moves the translation between usb 1 and usb 2 away from the faulty code in the machine.
It's interesting that I've been posting all over the place for many, many months about this and had no response anywhere until about 10 days ago and now there have been 2 responses. It will be really good if you can confirm that a usb 2 hub and/or the ATI update cures the problem.
I think you may find there are some remaining crackles which can be got rid of by disabling any wifi networking on the machine.

My external hard disk not working properly in my macbook pro . anyone help me . its seagate hard disk

You need to get some software that allows your Mac to read and write to the NTFS disk. There's a whole bunch of stuff out there, but this program has a good review, and you can try it for free. I would move everything off of your external drive, reformat it into Mac OSX extended, and use it for your Mac. You don't need NTFS anymore, unless you still have a Windows computer that needs it.

No sound and audio device not working properly, T61 vista

I unistalled the audio device SoundMax integrated HD audio because I had problems getting the mic of my new webcam (Logitech pro 9000) to work. But after reinstalling the SoundMax audio driver the audio device is no longer working.
Installing the SoundMax driver doesn't report any problems and the device manger also says that the SoundMax integrated digital hd audio device is working properly. But the speaker icon on the taskbar is crossed out. When hovering the mouse over the speaker icon it says Volume: 0 SoundMax integrated digital hd audio. When opening the Volume Mixer it says "No audio decivice is installed"...
I've completly removed all drivers and reinstalling several times but I cannot get it to work so I really need some help now.
All software + drivers regarging the webcam has been completly removed.
System data:
T61, Vista business
Audio chip seems to be a Analog Devices 1984
SoundMax driver version 6.10.1.5510 (latest available from lenovo)

Really silly bug, but there are times with the T series laptops, specifically the T61s that seem to not project the sound through the speakers and the way to fix it is to just keep hitting the silver volume buttons up by your power button on the actual laptop. This may or may not work for you, but I literally just got done with this on a T61 running a fresh installation of XP. The buttons on the lenovo itself control the direct signal input and do a very poor job with integrating with Windows Vista and XP.
Let me know if that works for you.

External memory card not working on 6500

i have a nokia 6500 slide and i have 2 different external memory cards (one has all my ringtones,images,etc on it) and the other one has nothing on it. I have put both of these into the phone, but it is not picking any up. Even when i go to see how much memory has been used, it doesnt come up saying the memory card at all. And when i go to take a photo and to change the settings to save it, it also says nothing about a memory card.
I want the memory card and my sim card to work for when i send sms's because my phone fills up so quickly. and i hate having to delete messages after the inbox gets about 4 messages in it.

hi there candi86,
if both your memory cards are not being recognised by the phone, then this may seem like there is a problem with the phone itself. in which case, check that the memory cards are readable on your computer (using an adapter or memory card reader if you have one), and also if you have the latest firmware update for your phone (check via Nokia Software Updater, which is part of Nokia PC Suite). also, what brand is your memory cards? are they both the same brand? there have been known to be problems with cheaper/worse-reputation brands of memory cards, even kingston has been cited as having problems. but this may not be the problem here.
another consideration is that the back cover of your phone is not placed properly. the 6500 slide (much like the 5610 i have) has contacts on the back cover, which when the cover is properly on, allow the phone to recognise the memory card and refresh the music library. if these contacts are damaged, then the phone may not recognise the memory card. check if your cover is a bit loose as this may be the problem.
i hope this helps

X-Fi Xtreme Audio Card not work

Hello, in my first time building a computer, I've had problems that have been solved via various forums, and I'm finally at my last problem that I need to fix. I got an X-Fi extreme audio card that isn't working properly. I know that the card isn't broken or inserted improperly, as when I test the speakers through the card (I'm using the green analog cable, plugged into the card), it works nicely. However, when I try to listen to anything else, like music, youtube, etc, I can only get sound (occasionally) through the headphone jack, which makes things sound really strange through the speakers. When I try to put headphones in (the headphone jack), they don't make any sound. Does anyone know a solution to this? I've tried going through all the settings, turning the mobo's onboard audio controller on and off, and many other things. I'm using a Abit IN9 32X MAX motherboard, Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio VARPAK 7. Channels 24-bit 96KHz PCI Express Interface Sound Card?and 32-bit Vista.

Today you're lucky, i also have an MSI XFI Audio but it's PCIe, if your card is PCIe, here is the CD:This CD is from a user named NUJA, http://nuja.free.fr/SBXAudioPCIe.rar , contain : CREATIVE_ALCHEMY_X-FI .00.07
Audio Console 2.40.2
Console Launcher 2.30.32
Creative Volume Panel 2.0.80
driver din 03/04/2008,6.0.0.20
This CD is better then CD from MSI, it has newer application and drivers.

It's been like this since for about 6-8 months and i am very upset with my mac!:|So can I have some help or any suggestions!

Have you tried contacting your ISP? Sometimes they can help you optimize your settings. Such as DNS server numbers. I had a simullar problem and found out my DNS settings were wrong.
Do you have other computers that use the wireless single? If not you might look into your router to see if maybe something is wroung with it. You can always go to a wifi hotspot or a friends house and see how the connection is there. If it seems normal then you know it is your ISP or your router. If not then it might be a laptop problem.

Beam Internet/Laptop Connect Air Card not working properly

We recently upgraded to the ATT Beam aircard as we lost our previous version on vacation. We live in a rural area and using the Laptop USB Connect Card (Beam) is the only access to the internet. When we first activiated it we were able to connect to the internest the first couple of days (Windows 7). Now, the digital read out on the Beam shows "Ready to Connect" but when opening the All Access icon to connect, we either get a "no modem/device detected" or it will say its connected on All Access but the Beam show Ready to Connect and we have no access. I've run the diagnositic too, I've deleted All Acess and reinstalled, I've unplugged and plugged the Beam back in, nothing works, I have not been able to connect to the interet with it at all. I am currently teathering off my cell phone. I'm locked into a 2 year on this Beam since I upgraded and so far its not working. Thoughts?

Other Device/Sound Card not working properly

My sound card keeps failing. I can restart my computer and it will work fine for a random amount of time. But usually I'll be running youtube or soundcloud and the audio will just stop. The video will stop and no longer play. I can try video files on my computer and they won't even play on Windows Media Player. I try in VLC and the video will play, but not the audio. I've tried every driver known to the HP driver update process, I've tried updating the Intel Chip the Bios, everything. I'm out of options. Can you help?

Hi: You need this driver for the unknown device and you may have to manually install it by browsing to the driver folder. http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp66001-66500/sp66231.exe The only suggestion I can offer for the audio is if your model has the Realtek HD audio system, accept the agreement, download and install the second driver on the list. http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false

Western Digital external hard drive not working properly

I have this external hard drive from western digital, 2 TB space, in wich i stored data from a windows machine.
Now i moved to an arch machine (the one i have at home) and it doesn't mount the hard drive.
I tried as normal user and as root, i tried just
mount /dev/sdc1
and most of the variants (-t filesystem, -o force and so on)
the first one obviously didn't work, the device is'n in my fstab file, but it's not my problem.
here i post the output of "fdisk -l /dev/sdc":
sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdc
[sudo] password for pertica:
Disk /dev/sdc: 1,8 TiB, 2000396746752 bytes, 3907024896 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: 0x0002de0f
Dispositivo Avvio Start Fine Blocks Id System
/dev/sdc1 2048 3907029167 1953513560 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
so, my problem isn't the filesystem (i think it is NTFS, but i'm not so sure after all), also.
I tried then to open /dev/sdc (the hard drive) with gparted, and it does not recognise any partition
(the only thing it says is, translated from italian: "it is not possible to have a partition out of the disk")
At first, i belived it could be something to be solved by "fsck", but it didn't seem to help.
Then, i checked more carefully the output of "fdisk -l /dev/sdc", and i found out that the end of the partition
sdc1 ("Fine" in italian) was at sector 3907029167 while the disk has only 3907024896.
Now, how can i fix this? (possibly without erasing the whole disk?)

External widescreen monitor not working properly

Hi! i have an LG Flatron 2243S monitor and i just hooked it up to my late 2011 macbook pro 15" through the mini display port and vga cable since the monitor does not have DVI input, Im having issues with the resolution it shows. if i put it in 1920x1080 60hz it leaves a black space on the left side of the screen. I have it set to 1400x1050 60hz so it fils the screen but it looks streched since i believe that is more of a 4:3 resolution... Can you guys help me?

Well, I think I have solved the problem. One of the external cases apparently was screwing up the works as far as the USB bus was concerned. After removing that unit from the setup, it seems as if everything is back to normal. I now have to test the HDD's to see if either of the two from that particular enclosure have a problem.

Wifi card not working properly

I purchased an hp Envy in October 2014. The wifi card no longer functions properly. Connections are intermittent or so slow they don't function. Is this defect covered by warranty? The wifi card is Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 802.11
As long as I'm hard wired, I have no internet connection issues. But dysfunctional wifi limits mobility and eliminates one of the primary features that I relied on in making the purchase choice. What is the solution?

Audio Transitions not working properly in Final Cut Pro 5.1.4

I am noticing that I can't change the audio transitions on the timeline as I used to be able to do. Now I get a prompt to go to the Browser and select the audio transitions there which is not how I've done it previously. Before, I just clicked on the timeline audio clip, made a transition and then typed the duration of the transition in the Viewer. So, I'm wondering if I should trash the plist for FCP or do something else? The video transitions seem to work fine as they always have.
Thanks for any help!

Let me explain this better. When I click on an audio clip in the timeline I get this prompt:
No default transition to add. Please set a default transition in the Effects Tab in the Browser before performing this command.
I've never had to do this before, so I wonder if anyone knows why this suddenly is happening?

GE620 DX, Nvidia card not working properly

Hello everyone,
Nvidia support sent me here since updating drivers didn't solve my problem.
To be honest, I'm not really computer savy... I've been sticking to consoles my entire life because it's always felt like an easy option. Because of my lack of experience I'm not the first person to notice when a computer isn't performing the way it should, therefore it has taken me a while to realize that the Nvidia Geforce GT 635M (2GB GDDR3) card has reset the settings to use the integrated graphics card instead of the Nvidia card (LOL).
Readjusting the settings doesn't work. The window will freeze for about 2-5 seconds, then refresh and the settings will be back to integrated card. Also, I downloaded new drivers from Nvidia, but the installation failed.
EDIT:
The power button is red, not blue (opening task manager does not resolve this).
Nvidia control panel isn't working. When I try to use it I get a message saying I have no monitor connected to the Nvidia GPU.

Hello, i'm on laptop:
Lenovo Y580 (i7 2300Mhz, 8Gb DDR3, GF 660 2Gb DDR5, 256Gb SSD, Windows 7 / Windows 10 TH)
At first i was using default driver from windows th, but some games (styx / bioshock) won't even launch, clicking on exe file didn't do anything. Then i've updated driver:
intel - 15.33.30.64.3958
nvidia - 344.60
And now these games are working, but they are only on intel. I tried to force nvidia in several ways, but no luck. Though some other apps (3dmark06) are working on nvidia card.
And switching game to dx9 (where it possible) solves the issue.

3rd party usb2/firewirePCMCIA card not working properly after 10.4.6 update

Hi,
I updated my mac to 10.4.6, after which I can no longer use my generic usb2/firewire PC card to sync my iPod via usb 2.0. My iPod (60gb photo) will still mount, but any app that tries to access the iPod portion of the drive (e.g. iTunes or the iPod updater) freezes until I detach my iPod. For some reason it's only a problem with usb2.0 slots, because I can connect the iPod via the card's firewire port with no problem.
Was there any modification to generic usb 2.0 PC cards in the new OS update?
Any ideas?

I think that I have a similar problem, having recently bought a PCMCIA to USB2, thanks to Apple's strange decission to drop FireWire from iPods (although that is a thread of it's own) but it does not recognise the iPod at all, using X.4.7.
It is a NEWlink model, which appear to be the same as D-Link and some others using the ALi chipset, and using the 'latest' (Oct 2003) driver USB2EHCI v3.1.5
Curiously USB1.1 devices seem to be fine, and the iPod is powered and goes into Sync mode but fails to boot either on the Desktop or in iTunes.
