EXTREME distortion (Almost no sound at all) from right and left speakers -Please He

Hi, since no one responded to the post I put out months ago... I'll post this again:
I recently re-installed windows on my PC (a Dell XPS 400) and lost all my drivers. After installing Windows and the drivers for my Soundblaster X-Fi all of the speakers worked other then my front-left and front-right ones. (My speakers are a logitech 5. surround sound package by the way) I have also tried plussing the two front speakers into other devices and they worked, so its not the speakers.
I've even now tried using this card on other operating systems and using different sound cards. I have installed ALL the latest drivers, so I am stumped what the problem could be other then a faulty sound card.Message Edited by beilstudios on 2-9-2006:49 AM

I hear you about wanting to use your memory on your 64-bit machine, I feel the same way. I only suggested this as a test to verify the cause of your problem. I wish I had returned my X-Fi Elite Pro as soon as I started encountering problems. I have been using my onboard sound in the meantime and while it is nothing spectacular, at least it works.
I recommend returning your Elite Pro (unless a BIOS update works or Creative has anything to offer), and if you still have interest in it, wait for others outside of Creative to verify that it is at least minimally working before going back.
Creative hasn't shipped a new driver for the Elite Pro since last November, to give you an idea about the kind of wait you might be in for. I certainly didn't expect it to take this long. So I have a really expensi've sound card just sitting there waiting for a new driver which for all I know won't even address the problem.

  • Only right and left channels work with external sound card

    Just got the USB Sound blaster xfi surround 5.. connected it to my laptop and connected to my home theather in a box using optical connection.
    downloaded and installed latest software but when I do a channel check I only get sound out of the right and left and even then it does not sound right.
    I have verified that my home theater in the box will play 5. with optical input and have verified with the built in test tones of the home theater that all speakers are working and correctly hooked up.
    The laptop is ruiing windows xp 3.
    Any suggestions.
    Thank you.

    Which S&V vi's do you mean to be dedicated to NI hardware?
    A quick peek into the addon show me waveforms as input and the sound vis have a waveform output.
    OK I didn't look at the examples and by habbit ignore the express vis .   But maybe you just want to use a program instead of programming your application?

  • Transferring the negative sign from Right to Left for a currency field.

    Hi All,
    I am trying to transfer the negative sign in a currency field from right to left but in doing that i am not getting the comma seperators of the currency field.
    For eg : If the value is 12,345,678.00- then after converting it i am getting it as
    -12345678.00 and i am loosing the commas.
    I am trying to transfer the negative sign by first converting the currency field into character field.
    Kindly help for the same.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Use FM CLOI_PUT_SIGN_IN_FRONT.
    Try this code as well
    data: var(10),
    length type i.
    var = '300-'.
    write var.
    length = strlen( var ).
    length = length - 1.
    replace first occurrence of '-' in var+length(1) with ''.
    concatenate '-' var into var.
    write:/ var.

  • When I write in hebrew from right to left the periods/quotation marks/question marks at end of sentences jump to the beginning of the sentence. help

    I cannot seem to format a message correctly when I write in hebrew from right to left
    even if I press left margin and the message starts from the left side, all question marks, and end of sentences (periods, etc) jump to the front of the sentence and quotation marks or separation marks (such as dashes) split up the lines and jump words to the front of the sentence.
    how can I change the formatting to solve this so the recipient receives a properly formatted email?

    are you using in bidi add-on?

  • How to shift Negative sign from Right to left

    Hi friends,
    please tell me How to shift Negative sign from Right to left for quan data type i am getting on right side but i want to display it on left exactly preceding my output number display.

    hi yogesh
    check this function module..
    <u><i><b>CLOI_PUT_SIGN_IN_FRONT</b></i></u>
    this will move the negative sign from the left hand side of a number, to the right hand side of the number. Note that The result will be left justified (like all character fields), not right justifed as numbers normally are.
    chck this example..
    data: a1 type i value 56 ,
    a2 type i value 60,
    res type i.
    res = a1 - a2.
    data: res1(10).
    res1 = res.
    CALL FUNCTION 'CLOI_PUT_SIGN_IN_FRONT'
    CHANGING
    VALUE = res1
    write res1.
    I<u><i><b>MPORTANT</b></i></u>
    You can use this FM CLOI_PUT_SIGN_IN_FRONT.
    But you need to declare the amount field as char.
    Or you can code like this
    data int type i.
    data char(10).
    int = -4.
    int = int * -1.
    write int to char.
    concatenate '-' char into char.
    reward if useful..

    It can't do that by itself. You had to click through several prompts telling it to restore it from a backup of an old phone for that to happen.
    If the phone was not backed up to iCloud before this happened, or to another computer, then the data is gone. There is no way to recover it.

  • Hi, Just switched from CS6 to PS CC. I am used to using ACR in CS6 with it's preview checkbox in the upper  right-hand corner. I do not see that checkbox in PS CC. I see that they have added side-by-side, right and left and top and bottom before and after

    Hi,
    Just switched from CS6 to PS CC. I am very comfortable using ACR in previous versions. I liked to use the preview checkbox located in the upper right-hand corner to see before and afters. That checkbox is no longer in my version of PS CC. I see that they have side-by-side, top and bottom and right and left before and after options in the lower right-hand corner in this version. Is there anyway to get that legacy preview checkbox back so that I can use it?

    Hi Warunicorn,
    Thank you very much. I just could not find it on my own. I will have more questions as I get into it.

  • Execution from right to left : a=b=c;

    Help!
    I am using a tutorial to study for the certification exam.
    Unfortunately, I do not understand the answer of a very simple question.
    Can you give me a hand on this one?
    ************* This is the Question of the tutorial ************************************
    After the execution of the code-fragment below, what will be the values of i and a?
    1.     public class CalcMe {
    2.     public static void main(String[] args) {
    3.     int [] b = {3,7};
    4.     int i = 2, a = 4;
    5.     b[i] = i = 0;
    6.     a += b;
    7.     }
    8.     }
    Answer 1 i: 0 a: 11
    Answer 2 i: 0 a: 4
    Answer 3 i: 3 a: 4
    Answer 4 An exception is thrown
    Answer 5 None of the above
    ************* This is the Answer to the Question of the tutorial ************************************
    After the execution of the code-fragment below, what will be the values of i and a?
    1. i: 0 a: 11
    2. i: 0 a: 4
    3. i: 3 a: 4
    4. An exception is thrown
    5. None of the above
    Answer 4 is correct, an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown at line 5. The value of i
    evaluated from the right hand side to the left, it is element b[2] that should get a value assigned,
    arrays in Java starts from 0, element 2 is out of scope.
    *************************** This is my answer *********************************************************
    Despite I read the answer (and created and run it) I still do not understand how line 5 is executed because it seems
    that the expression is evaluated from left to right instead of right to left.
    I believe that correct answer should be:
    in line 5. b[i]=i=0 if expression is executed from right to left then
    first i=0 and after that b[0]=0
    which leads to believe that the values for i & a will be : i=0 a=4
    [Copied from Complete Java 2 Certification Study Guide ISBN 0-7821-4077-7 Phillip Heller & Simon Roberts Chapter #2 Operators and Assignments Page 66]
    Given three int varibles a,b,c, the statement a=b=0; is entirely legal. It is executed from right to left,
    so that first 0 is assigned into variable c. After it has been executed, hte expression c=0 takes the value
    that was assigned to the left side - that is 0. Next, the assignment of b takes place, using the value of
    the expression to the right to the equal sign-again, 0. SImilarly, that expression takes the value that was assigned ,
    so finally the variable a is also set to 0.
    I'd appreciate an explanation

    Does this mean that the assignment of indexes in arrays have higher priority than assignment operations?
    in other words,
    b[2]= ...whatever
    will happen before anything else is evaluated in the right side of the expression.
    Is that right?
    Bingo. Section [url
    http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/second_edition/html/
    xpressions.doc.html#5295]15.26.1:"If the left-hand operand expression [of a simple
    assignment operator] is an array access expression
    (15.13), then many steps are required:
    # First, the array reference subexpression of the
    left-hand operand array access expression is
    evaluated. If this evaluation completes abruptly, then
    the assignment expression completes abruptly for the
    same reason; the index subexpression (of the left-hand
    operand array access expression) and the right-hand
    operand are not evaluated and no assignment occurs.
    # Otherwise, the index subexpression of the left-hand
    operand array access expression is evaluated. If this
    evaluation completes abruptly, then the assignment
    expression completes abruptly for the same reason and
    the right-hand operand is not evaluated and no
    assignment occurs.
    # Otherwise, the right-hand operand is evaluated. If
    this evaluation completes abruptly, then the
    assignment expression completes abruptly for the same
    reason and no assignment occurs."
    It then goes on to detail null checks on the array
    reference, ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException checks, etc.

  • Move an animator object from right to left

    How do I move an animator object from right to left?  I tried using the value with a minus sign in front of it. (i.e. -(xcoord) )  Please help.
    Thanks,
    Chris

    After you create the animator, click on it on the panel, you will see a rectangle. You can drag the rectangle to bigger or smaller. The graphic will be moving inside of this rectangle. In this rectangle, bottom left corner is x0 y0.  Top right cornet is x100, y100.

  • I need help for Arabic Typing in Pages and PhotoShop and how can I change the Typing Direction to Be from right to left

    Hi there
    Accualy I have 2 problems with Pages
    1- How can I get more Arabic Fonts with More Decorated style
    2- The typing in Arabic should be from right to left and in Pages it's Happining but the typin marker is not doing this so its hard to fix any mistakes in the middel of the paragraph.
           - how to change the alignment from left to right (Ctrl + Shift in MO Word) to do the hall text from right to left not only the paragraph Icon
    I think this will afect the other application Im using If some one help me with it.

    "Many" is an exageration, you can count R to L languages on one hand.
    Mostly they are used in countries which try not to pay for their software, and seem to have a pretty shoddy printing industry, so not much incentive for developers.
    However Arabic is a major language and Apple should fix the problem.
    As Tom suggests try Mellel, which is the best solution on the Mac.
    Adobe has ME versions of both Indesign and Photoshop, for which you pay extra. They mostly work well.
    MsWord for Windows (not the Mac) does reasonably well, but I have not tried its DTP features with Arabic so can't vouch for how solid they are in Word.

  • Please, I need help in this,How to make a tree control appear from right to left ??

    i working on Arabic project in which we use a tree control and i  want it to display its branches from right to left .
    i tried to rotate it but it doesn't work because the disclosure triangle still appear on the left .
    i ask if there is any thing to mirror the tree control ,and ask if this mirroing will work or not?

    You'll need to modify the layout logic of your renderer.
    Here's a simple example that extends the default tree renderer and overrides the updateDisplayList method(). It will probably need more work. Set textAlign="right" on your Tree control when you use this renderer. You'll also need to supply a disclosure icon that points in the opposite direction.
    package
        import mx.controls.treeClasses.TreeItemRenderer;
        import mx.controls.treeClasses.TreeListData;
        public class RightToLeftTreeItemRenderer extends TreeItemRenderer
            override protected function updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number,
                                                      unscaledHeight:Number):void
                super.updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight);
                var startx : Number = data ? TreeListData( listData ).indent : 0;
                startx = unscaledWidth - startx;
                if ( disclosureIcon )
                    disclosureIcon.x = startx - disclosureIcon.width;
                    startx = disclosureIcon.x;
                if ( icon )
                    icon.x = startx - icon.width;
                if ( label )
                    label.x = 0;
