Force 2 Speaker Sound Mode even with 4

I'm using a Creative Soundblaster Li've! Value and Windows XP Professional. Drivers are up to date, checked it with the update Acti'veX Applet on the Creative website.
Is there any way to get the EAX Chip working only in 2.0 Speaker mode when calculating positional audio?
In my case a Headset is installed in Microphone In and the first Sound Out. In 4.0 that would be the front speakers.
My PC speakers are installed in the second Sound Out which would be the rear speakers in 4.0.
The problem is, i don't always want to play EAX powered games with my Headset and i don't want to crouch behind my pc to switch Headset and speakers everytime i want to play with my speakers. Won't be that good for the hardware too. Is there any way to say: "Pretend that there are only two speakers and send the same sound to both outputs?" So i won't get any strange positional audio. Or is there a way to switch the 2 speaker mode to the second Sound Output, so only Headphone setting would use the first output or vice versa?
If i remind correctly the sound settings are in the registry, would it be enough to change an entry there? Is that even possible?

No idea yet?

Why did my CS5.1 quit opening in 32-bit mode even with the box checked to open that way?

My main plug-in will not work with Photoshop CS5 in 64-bit mode. It was working fine for awhile, but now it won't. I took my computer to the Apple store for them to look at it. They said that even though we are telling it to open in 32, the program is ignoring that command and opening in 64 bit, thereby causing my plug-in not to work. How can I fix this?

Moving this discussion to the Photoshop General Discussion forum.

IPhone 6 Plus speaker sounds distorted with popping sound when phone rings or alerts play.

My iPhone 6 Plus is less than a 2 weeks old but since day one its speaker sounds distorted. The ringer or alerts or even the new email alert have a popping or clangy sound to them. Is this a software issue or hardware? My phone is uptodate and Ive tried hard reboots to try to alleviate the problem but it didn't fix the problem. Should I try to restore it? Also, If I take it in to my local Apple store and they replace it, will my new ZAGG screen protector just be a wasted $20???

Hi _3ntr0py,
I'm sorry to hear that you are having issues with your new iPhone 6 Plus. If you continue to have sound or speaker distortion with your iPhone, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

After upgrading to Mavericks (from 10.7.8), I get a popping sound on my speakers even with mute. Suggestions?

I've never had an issue with my sound on my MBP 15" 2011 model until I upgraded to Mavericks. Shortly after I upgraded, I started getting a 'popping' sound coming from the speakers even with the volume muted.
I'm trying to figure out what could be causing it by eliminating running programs but no luck yet. So far I've tried:
disabling graphic switching
disabling the Flash plug in for Chrome
Checking Voice over settings in accessibility (off)
Killing coreaudiod
So far, only killing coreaudiod has worked for any length of time.
I'm not playing a sound, I have nothing in the background that's generating sound (with the exception of MS Office 2013 running in Parallels generating meeting notification alerts - that seems to cause part of it) but something is obviously triggering it.
Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions?

Might be corrupted audio preferences ..
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following;
/Library/Preferences/Audio
Click Go then move both .plist files from the Audio folder to the Trash.
com.apple.audioDeviceSettings.pllist
com.apple.audio.SystemSettings.plist
Restart your Mac. See if that made a difference ...

I just got an iPod touch 5g for Christmas and last night I was FaceTiming a family member and I noticed my speaker sounded a little wired, like it blew out which I don't even know how I did it! I never have it up full blast! Does the warrenty cover it?

ACI, 2 BD´s and 2 EPGs in L2 mode won´t talk even with contract supplied

Hi experts
I tried to make a L2 connection between 2 EPG in different BD, both BD are in L2 mode and in the same Private network, I saw in the sniffer that the traffic was send between the EPG ( hosts)  but the "ping" between the hosts did not got answered. we had a contract between the EPG´s that was allow any in both directions.
the connection works between the 2 host  with the 2 EPG´s in the same BD with the same any contract.
is it intended that 2 BDS won´t let 2 EPG´s talk in L2 mode ( Floodmode ) ?.
And I read that the L2 external is not a separate BD but 2 EPG´s in a " L2 construct"  with a contract between and the AEP stuff to get physical to work
/Ola

Just to understand, you created two BDs in flood and L2 mode and two EPGs. The two hosts are using the same subnet/address space to talk to each other and you have a contract in between the two EPGs yet the communication is not working.
When you put the two EPGs in the same BD it works? correct?
Its a very interesting question, but there is something you must remember about ACI. The BD is the flood/forwarding boundary. Since you are using two different flood domains and no routing (unicast off and no subnet/SVI on the BD), ARPs and general data flood/packets will not traverse the flood domains, even with a contract.
What other questions do you have? Thanks for using Support Forums, hope that helps!

Address Book Opens Automatically and will not close (even with Force Quit)

The address book automatically opens at times and I cannot close it. Even with a force quit, I cannot close it. It takes up over 80% of CPU cycles when it opens automatically. Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks
Robby

This is happening to me too. Has occurred on MBP 17" about six or seven times over the past couple of weeks. Have not been able to replicate it. But recently suspect that it may be related to auto syncing and/or syncing my iPhone 3G.
Anyone else have an idea?

I'm trying Facetime with my Mac Mini with OS 10.7.5 and an Acer H243HX monitor (w/ HDMI, USB). I can get the webcam-in , but even with settings in Sounds set to have the input come through the Acer monitor, I still cannot get any sound input into the Mac.

Sound only plays in Front left speak on Windows 7 with Xfi Extreme Music??

I have Xfi Extreme Music (SB0640). In installed the lastes drivers for windows 7 (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://forums.creative.com/t5/forums/postpage/board-id/#]Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi series driver 2.8.003 [/url]), When I run a speaker test all 6 speakers work, however when I use media player, media center etc. Only the front left speaker works.
Do I need to install creative Alchemy?
Console Launchers does not load on boot
Any asistance will be appreciated
Thanks in advance

NRe: Sound only plays in Front left speak on Windows 7 with Xfi Extreme Music? You will need to have the Creative Console Launcher which will let you have CMSS-3d or Creative Multichannel Surround Sound. You can find the newest version for your card here......

Honestly though, dont bother with just that. Get Daniel K.'s X-FI support pack which is updated with the newest drivers and applications for your card. Plus, he tweaked those with fixes for installation/integration? under operating systems other than XP.
That can be found here.......

Found this solution in another thread, what you want to do is go into the Nike Fitness thing, go to run, go to Spoken Feedback and set it to off. This should fix your problems.

I made a project with multiple tracks and had it all panned and mixed. Now it's only playing in the right speaker. Not even regestering a left side in the master volume? What happened, how can I get both sides back?

Thank you for that info.
For video, the codec is MPEG-4 Video (XVID) and for audio it says MPEG Audio Layer 1/2/3 (mpga).
There are two issues with that file:
The first is the Xvid CODEC (not meant for editing), and then the MPEG Audio/MPGA. I would convert that file, to something that is more editable.
Good luck,

I have the new iPad. Even with airplane mode on, my battery life is extremely limited. Is there a problem with the battery? I used to have the ipad2 and had no such problem.

What is your brightness setting & how many apps are open?
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

Even with my earphones out my iphone still says i'm in head phone mode

Even with my headphones out my iPhone still is in headphones mode?

This has been an ongoing issue with iPhones and iPod touch's ... but in most cases, it's an easy fix.
In many cases, the issue is caused by a small sensor in the headphone jack that may be jammed or blocked... the recommendation that I got from the Apple Store was to put your headphones in fully, and remove it... do it 3-4 times and see if that fixes the problem.
If not, then your best bet is to hit the Apple Store.
