FIX FOR MIC ISSUE ON X-FI SOUND CA

Ok, the title is a tad misleading, I'm not sure if this works everywhere, or on all sound cards. I just know after about a week of frustration with my brand new $2200 PC, (equipped with a X-Fi Xtreme Audio, big disappointment wishing I went with a Gamer Xtreme now...) I plugged in my lovely headset and mic for gaming, and much to MORE frustration, no mic support on my "non" supporti've "non flexijack" ports on the front of my case, so I moved to the back and still no dice.
So far this card has been a compatibility headache, everywhere from having to unplug the forward sound ports, to spending hours in the middle of the night (bad habits with not being able to enjoy tasks unless finished with my PC issues D=) just driving to find the full drivers for the card!
And still, much like all of you no working mic, ok so now you're shouting for me to get to the point, in my frustration I decided I'd try all the ports on the card to see if that would fix it, and in my fury and climbed behind the PC, headset on volume turned up and mic ready to go (unmuted), tested the pink (PROPER!!!!! Creative -.-) port, to no dice. Moved one jack over, no dice and finally tried the blue sound port on the farthest end of the sound card...
SUCCESS. I heard myself, my heart literally fell into my loins.
Who the heck messed that up? But hey, I don't care. A working mic on my Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio.
So HOPEFULLY there's the fix for it. Move your mic to the blue jack on the back of the card and give it a go. Realistically, what do you have to lose?
Hope I helped!

OK, let's think for a minute that I have a 5. speaker system installed and the microphone connected to the FlexiJack in the X-Fi Xtreme Gamer.
Let's try now to change the FlexiJack configuration so it accepts the microphone as the input source for recording. Oooops, all options for FlexiJack are greyed out.
I've tried every single posibility for recording on the sound (recording) control panel and none of them seems to work (I would change then one by one and the try the windows sound recorder to test if it would work). Although when I tried the microphone works perfect on another computer with a 5. Li've Sound Blaster card.
So, is this an issue with FlexiJack and Xtreme Gamer cards?
I'm a missing some steps?
Kind regards.

    iphone 5 usb does not charge in my 2013 Honda Accord.  Is there a fix for this issue?  It will connect via bluetooth but when I go to connect the usb charger it states that it is not compatible or you never get the charging display on your iPhone 5.  It charges just fine when I use the AC charger in the house.  At first I thought it may have been the cord but the same cord works fine in the house too.  This causes problems when you take long trips and don't have any way to charge your phone while on the road.  Are there any upcoming fixes/iupdates either to the software or usb cord that will fix this?

    Code-level description of changes:
      modules/compiler/src/java/flex2/tools/PreLink.java
        Modified postRun() to swap in the root CompilationUnit's Logger
        when validating it's StyleContainer.  This allows the warnings
        from StylesContainer.validate() to be persisted across incremental
        compilations.  This fixes SDK-24686.
      modules/compiler/src/java/flex2/compiler/Source.java
        Made getLogger() public, so it could be called from PreLink.
      modules/compiler/src/java/flex2/compiler/CompilerAPI.java
        Modified compile() to check forcedToStop() after each PreLink
        batch.  This fixes SDK-24669.

  • FAQ: Tips/Fixs for clicks, pops and glitches in sound ca

    I have come across this little article from the internet while surfing and thought it could be of some use posting it here. Follow the link below.
    Tips/Fixs for clicks, pops and glitches in sound card
    If after following the tips on this page you are still having troubles, then contact support or wait for other peers in the forum for further advise and suggestion.
    This particular phrase that's quoted from the article which is very true.
    "This is a HUGE topic and I have come across it many times. The hardest thing to do in tech support is to explain to someone that the fault is not to do with the audio card, but instead with the way the computer is setup or the fault of components in their system. Pcs are built to a budget and parts do suffer because of this."

    I know this stuff is 3 months old but I just got mine and hadn't yet used the pin function so now I know.
    I hope you are right Nancy that it will have updates, but I really doubt it. This is the norm for Microsoft when stuff they put out bombs. Dish Network had a DVR receiver many years ago that had Microsoft software installed and it was buggy to say the least. They updated it a few times but then abandon it. For a few years Microsoft wouldn't release the code to Dish Network to allow DN to fix the bugs. It was a real "Hate Microsoft" time for those users. DN had to put out their own coded DVR receivers and let the Microsoft ones die.
    I think VZ made a deal with MS and removed the stuff MS wasn't supporting. Then VZ put them out without needing a data package to unload them.

    Hey Tlabounty,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with the microphone on your iPhone 5. To troubleshoot this issue, you may find the information in this article helpful:
    iPhone: Microphone issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5183
    Note that speakerphone and regular calls utilize seperate microphones on the device. It sounds like you have isolated the issue. Furthermore, if you determine that the issue is hardware related, the following resource may help you get started with the service process:

  • Fix for Wifi issues in Mountain Lion

    I've tried all the solutions on the forums that I could find and none of these fixed my wifi issues.  This however did:
    - Change the SSID of your wireless network.
    I'm pretty sure I had a similar issue with Lion and sorted it by deleting all the preference files like others have said, but it didn't work for me this time.  I'm convinced that the common issue is that it's a corrupt or duplicate config. 
    Anyway, I thought I'd post this to help others.

    UPDATE
    A week or so ago my wifi suddenly stopped working again on both my Macbook and Mac Mini.  Note that my PC, iPad and iPhone continue to work. 
    I've changed my SSID twice now and this time I was determined to figure out an alternative solution.  Again I tried every solution I could find, this time what worked is chagning my router to only broadcast on the 'N' wireless band. 
    This has fixed it however it's not a great solution as my wireless printer is 'G' only.  Until Apple resolve this issue I'm happy to print with a network cable if it means my Macs work.

  • Fix for Encore 2 microphone's warp sound and volume issue

    I had just recently purchased an Encore 2 and found out everything works crisp and great except the microphone sound quality when recording a video. How I could solve this hard to fix problem.
    I came up with solution and works great. Total notice imporvement and found out driver adjustment problem like I speculated due to PC pcb solid state build in terms of on board hardware usually-not sure but probable.
    1. Make sure to utilize Toshiba Service Station and updated the new bios, intel installer, Realtek audio, wireless, and mirroring.
    2, After the Realtek audio install you should get a icon on start programs list or on your desktop.
    3. There click and up comes Realtek Audio Manager.. There go to advance and bring up Windows sound manager I think on a button below rest.
    4. Here got to l think last tab and click on radio Do nothing instead of like 80% noise supression and click ok.
    5. On the Realtek Audio Manager adjust microphone volume from 17 to 90 and boost to 0.
    6. Next on the Manager click on voice button and set it to disable all.
    7. This should give you a well adjust computer mic on regular PC level video and sound recording. It's pretty good. Adjust mic volume for background noise just like a desktop.
    Mainly I speculate since Encore 2 is full Windows 8.1 tablet that it share approximately same requirements as laptop pc in function and has a PC mic processor rounting and connections instead of like a smartphones systems. You have to treat the mic as a laptop PC mic funtions and tune accordingly. Videos are now perfect seems like unless something comes up.
    Need help ask for completion.

    i found a? way to reduce to a large extend the noise if i touch the computer case.
    but still there's echoing in ts and steam.

  • FIX for USB issue where Files get corupted after I sucsessfully transfer to N

    MP3 Player: Muvo N200 GB
    Firmware: Creative MuVo Micro N200 Audible Firmware Upgrade .2.0
    OS: Windows 2000 pro
    Machine: Ibm Thinkpad
    PROBLEM:
    drag a folder of MP3's to the N200 in the Windows Explorer
    2 wait for the zig zag line on the MP3 player to go straight.
    3 Stop the Muvo mass stoarge device
    4 Unplug the USB from the computer
    5 Turn the Muvo N200 on
    6 Folder has vanished
    7 Plug Muvo back into computer
    8 Folder is there, all files are missing
    Also .. if I plug the Muvo in right after I coppied the files (after step 4) the files exist. I dragged them to the desktop, compared them to the originals with a binary compare and they are identical ... just to see if the files got corrupted.
    It seems that when I turn the Muvo on, the files get deleted.
    I then installed the N200 Media Explorer with drivers .. didn't help at all.
    I tried this on a different machine, exact same files, and it works fine. Same OS, no Media Explorer.
    Also, this is my second N200. Sent the other one back after talking with support. Got an error at the end of a format. When I tried to install the .2 firmware, I could no longer turn the player on (didn't try recover). I'm sure this N200 will do the same on my thinkpad. I installed the firmware on the other machine (fool me once ....)
    EDIT: <FONT color=#cc9900>Further testing showed that this is a problem with my thinkpad. The N200 works fine as a thumb dri've on every other machine I tried. I tried using another thumb dri've on my Thinkpad and it failed in the same way. Also tried a Muvo NX .. just for kicks and it didn't work either.
    <FONT color=#cc9900>FUnny thing is that I can copy a file to the N200, read it back right away .. compare them and they are identical. ONce I remove the dri've, and plug it back in, the file is corrupted.

    :smileyvery-happy:My N200 now works on my thinkpad, and I just have to report on what I did to fix it .. just in case this helps anyone however indirectly.
    In the device manager, I changed all Host controllers from
    Intel 8280CA/CAM USB Uni'veral Host Controller
    to
    Strandard Uni'versal PCI to USB Host Controller
    And now My USB not only works on my N200, it also fixed an issue with my USB scanner.
    HOW TO DO THIS:
    Right Click on the My Computer ICON
    select MANAGE
    select Device Manager in the left hand column
    expand Uni'versal Serial Bus Controller in right hand column
    Click on Intel 8280CA/CAM USB Uni'veral Host Controller and
    Select Driver Tab and select Update Driver
    Next ... select radio button that says Display a list of Known.....
    then select Standard...
    do this for all Host controllers.
    Good luck ... I've been through everything if you want to send me a message.

  • Any fix for wifi issues with ios8?

    Just submitting another questions asking for help with IOS8 wifi issues. Nobody from Apple has commented or acknowledged any issues with wifi, so we, the users, are left to fend for ourselves.
    My specific issue is that 5GHz Wireless N seems to have incredibly short range, and 2.4GHZ Wireless N cuts out after about 3 seconds of use. I have tried all of the fixes described in every post I can find. I've deleted network settings, I've completely wiped the phone and started from scratch, I've done everything possible.
    Now that wifi doesn't work with IOS8 I can no longer use my iPhone 5 with AirPlay our any of my other devices in my home. The fact that Apple has refused to say anything about the problem, and the fact that they are blocking users from rolling back shows a level of arrogance that's absolutely amazing. Thankfully this is all happening before I bought an iPhone6, which I'm now seriously considering avoiding if this experience is any indication of Apple's commitment to quality.
    Are there any other tricks out there to get 2.4Ghz working? I know that we, the poor users of Apple products, are on our own, so I'm hoping that someone can help.

    I got iPhone 6 IOS8 [ not updated ] for a few months now worked fine until now WiFi not working  in my home tried reset , turning off phone , nothing worked , Got it to work by unplugging the router WiFi Box unit for a few seconds  ! works like a charm now , Super fast

  • A fix for Maverick issues?

    any help here?

    Is Logic fully upgraded to the current version? It may be necessary to uninstall Logic then reinstall it. You might search the forums for others who have had issues with Logic to see if they found solutions.
    Meanwhile, I would recommend:
    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
         computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
         screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
         Reinstall the 10.9.3 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 Update (Combo).
    4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Reinstall the 10.9.3 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 Update (Combo).
