Help - No sound on X-Fi Extre

Hello everyone:?First of all, I have been through the FAQ and tried everything listed on it. My problem is this:?I bought a Creative X-Fi Music Extreme yesterday and upon installation, I am getting no sound for anything through my speakers. I do get the clicking sounds on my speakers when I change mode i.e. Entertainment to Gaming. X-Fi is the preferred device and there are no hardware/software conflicts?with any other device in the system.
Creative diagnostics are green across the board. I have even tried connecting headphones to the sound card but to no avail. System specs are Windows XP Service Pack , P4 3.2, GB RAM, RADEON X800XL. I actually upgraded from an Audigy 2 which was working fine in the same PCI slot as the X-Fi. I uninstalled the Audigy 2 card before replacing it.
Is it possible that this conflict is due to the?incorrectly installed Audigy 2?software (maybe), parts of which might be lingering in the registry? or is a hardware failure (despite the fact that everything appears to be green across the board)??Any suggestions would be helpful!

Thanks for your reply. I have checked headphones on the Line jack, no sound still. The speaker setting when I plug in the headphone is "headphones". It doesnt automatically pick up the headphones so I have to change it manually.
Have you come across this no sound issue on the basis of only software? or is this a hardware specific issue?
Regards

Read the documentation at the links. They won't hurt your data.
Basically smc reset is shutdown, pull your plug for 15 seconds, plug it back in, wait 5 seconds, and reboot. Harmless to you. Resets the smc.
Pram reset is similar but you need to push commnd-option-P-R after the boot chime. Read what does.

Help, no sound, no sound output devices

Hi all,
I tried this over in the Tiger section with little help. About a week ago I told my grand-daughter she could plug her iPod headphones into the headphone jack on the the front of the G4. Now, I have no sound at all except for through the headphones and only the headphones show up as an output device. I have tried trashing the "com.apple.soundpref.plist" and rebooting thinking that the OS would creat a new one during startup but that didnt work (there was TWO of them in there). I also tried trashing "com.apple.audio.AudioMIDISetup.plist" but that didnt help either. I put them both back where I found them later. Those files both belong in library-preferences right? I tried zapping the Pram but having no sound I didnt get a "bong" I just listened for it to rev-up twice, still no change. I also tried the PMU reset switch. I can change the volume level with no effect except for the headphones and the sound is not muted.
System Profiler does not recognize apple pro speakers that are plugged in, I do have sound sticks to try but they are boxed up in the garage.
So I am wondering if the phone jack got messed up by the iPod plug, a hardware issue, or does this seem to be software related problem? I did an archive & install today with still no sound so now I am thinking that the plug is messed up inside and still thinks the headphones are plugged in.
Does anyone out there have any advice to offer?
I am going to do surgery next to explore the headphone jack and the tiny speaker above it.

Slimtech,
I don't have a solution for this, but maybe some comments might help a bit...
com.apple.soundpref.plist and com.apple.audio.DeviceSettings.plist should be at /Library/Preferences.
com.apple.audio.AudioMIDISetup.plist should be at ~/Library/Preferences.
The "Audio (Built In)" section under System Profiler for my QS G4 shows no attached devices, but merely shows information about the sound card itself, with three generic outputs listed as "Internal Speaker, External Speaker, and Headphones".
Normally, you should get a startup Chime from your internal speaker even with headphones plugged in, unless perhaps the sound setting is on Mute at shutdown, which sometimes will affect/mute the startup chime at the next startup.
I would think that if the Mac thought that the headphone were still plugged in after removal, your Sound Preference Pane Output window would indicate this. If the Headphones appear in the Output window when plugged in, then disappear when removed (refresh the window by clicking another Tab then going back to the Output Tab), the System obviously recognizes their removal. Apparently, it doesn't recognize the internal speaker that it's supposed to switch back to though, for reasons unknown to me.
You might try vigorously and repeatedly plugging/unplugging the headphone plug into the headphone jack, which helped clean up the jack and restore the sound on my G3 some time back.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Help with sound output via HDMI

My sound output via HDMI suddenly stopped worked to my TV set. I've reset the PRAM and the SMC. When I go to sound control panel for sound output, the setting is on Headphones. When I try to change it to SV420XVT1A (the tv) it immediately jumps back to headphone. I also tried a different HDMI cable to a different HDMI port on the tv. This just started after the Mac Mini had been turned off for a week. I'm using Lion and it's an 8GB Intel Core 2 Duo. Any suggestions?

I actually discovered this answer about 5 minutes after I posted the question. Thanks a lot for your help!! Funny thing is that it had worked all along with something plugged in the headphone jack but suddenly stopped working. Again, thanks!

Everything seems to be OK so it's propably the drivers for your modem that is causing the issue. Just try if updating them helps anything.
Also, you can turn the MPU-40 (onboard MIDI/Game port) if you dont need it.

I need help getting sound to come out of my TV when using HDMI. Any solutions?

I'm able to pull up my picture when connecting my HDMI cable to my Macbook pro...however I can't get the sound to come out of my Toshiba TV. When I go under system preferences, then sound and select my Toshiba TV as an option. It says it has no output controls. I fiddled with my sound setting in my TV and stil no luck. Does anyone know any solutions for this problem. Help is greatly appreciated.

Hey jbarwins
Check to make sure that you are up to date on your computer. Another recommendation would be to try a different cable and also reset the NVRAM on your computer.

If you go into the Media player, are you able to hear the tones?
Try clearing out the Sounds/Profiles database as shown in KB10167 and reconfigure them.
Let me know how you make out.

HELP - No sound and will not play any music or videos

Hi All,
I'm really hoping someone can help me. I have an Apple iPod 2g 16gb.
I am having real problems with the sound not working when I upgrade the firmware. If I update to the new 4.1, the internal speaker stops working completely and that's not all...
If I try to play a song, it basically loads the PLAYING screen (with the two arrows and PLAY button in the middle at the bottom) then appears to immediately stop the song and go back to the track list screen.
Also... whenever I try playing any videos on the youtube app, it keeps saying video cannot be played...
Now, if I downgrade to Firmware version 2.1.1 sounds works, videos work and music plays!
I have tried all the Restore option and Reset all settings solution and nothing seems to work. I have been researching like mad on the Internet and have found a couple of posts with similar problesm so I know it isn't just me but does anyone have any ideas at all because, had I any, I'd have ripped all my hair out by now!!!
iPod Touch 2G 16GB 4.1 Windows XP Pro

If it works fine with the older FW, I would leave it alone. iOS 4.1 has its share of problems. Battery life is one big issue.

I posted this same answer in iDVD for you...
I am not sure it will fix all of your problems, but I would certainly try deleting the preference files for iDVD. (Don't worry-new ones will be made once you open the program again)
Close all iLife Applications.
Go to Users / Library / Preferences / com.apple.iDVD.plist
Drag it to the trash, empty the trash, run disk utility to repair permissions, re-boot and it should work.
Then do the same for the imovie prefences.

HELP NO SOUND D: MACBOOK PRO Late-2011

Hey guys, so i recently had repaired my mac from a Kernel Panic earlier... although when i had fixed the problem (by removing a file named voodooHDA.kext) i've realised that i can adjust my sound levels, although sound does not come out from either my speakers or earphones/headphones. Any help or a response would be appreciated. thanks

Help no sounds at all on my iPad

For the second time in a week now my sound is completely off. The mute/lock rotation switch is set correct, the mute on the task bar is not on and my volume rocker is all the way up. I have no system sounds, no music, no app sounds, no YouTube sounds nothing at all unless I plug in my headphones. I have restored, reset and restarted it and nothing seems to help. The sound worked about 2 hours ago and its like it just muted itself.
This happened a few days ago and it just came back on its own and was good for a few days.
I have been reading through the forums about similar problems and tried everything I could but nothing seems to help.
Please no posts about the stupid notifications mute switch, Or the task bar mute I have checked them both repeatedly and they are correct. If anyone has something else to try I am more then willing otherwise I guess it time to go and get a replacement iPad.
Thanks

Try a hard reset (Hold the home and power button together untill the iPad turns off) or sync it with iTunes, if those don't work I'd take it to the Apple Store and have them look at it.

Help.. sound issues for HP Mini

HELP - My sound is gone, both audibly and in Prefs

My sound has crapped out on me. I thought maybe my speakers had just gotten unpluged but it's everything. In the Sound section of Prefs. It no longer shows the digital and analog options... it doesn't show anything in the box at all.
Is my sound board dead? I didn't know Macs even had sound cards at least stand-alone units. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
From what did You import Your movie ?
• miniDV tape Camera - FireWire
• .avi, .wmv, .mpeg4, etc
My general list on this - May be not Your problem at all ?
*No Audio in iMovie*
Most common origin is use of audio from iTunes.
Work around -
• Select needed audio to one new playlist
• Copy out this as an Audio-CD .aiff (not .mp3)
• Use this in the movieproject
Other origins are
1. strange/ailient file formats as -
• .mp3, .avi, .wmv etc
• Convert them into .aiff 48kHz 16-bit and use this
2. the Mac is set wrongly in regard of midi -
• Close iMovie and other programs
• Start GarageBand
• Make a new GB-project and play some notes
• Close GB and Save
• Now try iMovie again
3. No audio when playback in iMovie 1 to HD 6.
a. in iMovie pref - deselect ”Playback via Camera”
b. in System preferences - see that Audio out is not set to zero. Mine often does this
without me knowing why.
Stuttering audio and video
1. FileVault is ON - Turn it off
2. More than 50 audio files in a movie-project
Mix down to one audio clip
3. Project is stored on one (USB) external hard disk - should be a FireWire one
4. the External hard disk is not Mac OS Extended formatted - but
UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange and this will not work for Video.
5. To little free space on internal boot hard disk.
I go for a minimum of 25Gb free space when project is imported and edited and this goes for
4x3 SD Video. For 16x9 HD my guess would be about 5 times more at least.
Neither Mac OS, iMovie or iDVD can address any other hard disk than the boot drive for it’s
scratch files. (Unlike Final Cut Express/Pro where You select scratch disk/s)
6. Network storage - DOESN’T WORK
Yours Bengt W
