Help please - at least with question on sound c

<FONT color=#000080>I want to put together a multimedia PC (if possible at all) with the following abilities:
<FONT color=#000080 size=2>Want to be able to play music CDs on PC hooked to a stereo system ? a sound card with 2 analog outputs connected to an integrated amp, but also want to be able to play DVD movies with 5. sound ? connected to an A/V receiver ? would Audigy 4 Pro or Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro do the job here? How would it connect to A/V receiver?
<FONT color=#000080 size=2>Burn quality (emphasis on quality) music CDs and movie/music DVDs with dual layer capability, must be able to read them in other CD and DVD players ? would Plextor PX-76AL do the job? Any other recommendations?
<FONT color=#000080>And would the same DVD dri've do the job of burning and reading DVD? Should get another one? What about progressi've scan?
<FONT color=#000080 size=2>How to bring video to TV, what video card would do the job, something with DVI? Any recommendations?
<FONT color=#000080 size=2>Though in a few games (decent graphic).
<FONT color=#000080 size=2>What motherboard/PCU would be needed here?
<FONT color=#000080 size=2>Finally, any recommendations for stores in GTO or on-line stores that would put something like this together?

Good point on CPU and heat generation, but can I really save so much and lower the noise, other components still need to be cooled down?
And water cooling would be probably way to expensi've.
BTW, I already have a specific components list, runs arround 2K Canadian.
Does anyone think this is overkill for the purpose (hook-up to HT system and listen to CD, listen/watch DVD)?

  • Help! Blinking folder with question mark and Mac Logo

    Out of nowhere when I turned on my Powerbook G4 laptop the other day, the sound chimed like it was turning on, however instead of loading up, I saw a blank screen with a little file folder in the middle and the icon on the folder changed from a question mark to the mac logo back and forth. I have no idea what to do here. Help please!
    Thank you.
    I already tried rebooting, taking out the battery and putting it back in. Nothing has worked so far.

    Not from doing what I've suggested. The computer has basic instructions on the chip which tell it what to do next after you press start - i.e. start OSX from a particular place on the hard drive. Hopefully, what I've suggested will enable the machine to do that and wall will be well
    It is possible that your hard-drive has failed or is about to fail - I advise as soon as you can get the machine started to back-everything up.
    If it does not start, you may have a hard drive failure. In which case you can try several tools which may manage to get the drive back up, or at least recover the data. If you are near an Apple Store, you could go in and see if they can start the machine from a Firewire External drive with OS X on it - they may be able to see some of the data and copy it for you.
    But try what I suggested first and let's see what the issues really are before going into disaster mode
    Best of luck.

  • Help. flashing gray folder with question mark on startup, then no startup.

    on startup, macbook pro showed flashing gray folder with question mark, but no startup.  after several retries, now shows circle with diagonal diameter, and still no startup.  worked fine yesterday.  suggestions?

    Hi! I had the same problem as you. (I had a 2004 emac) all i had to do to boot it up was press enter and that seemed to do the trick but a grey folder might signify your missing files (Computer is broken) or its a network startup. Try it out!

  • BT box wiring! (Help please , bank hol with no int...

    Hi, wonder if anyone can help ...
    anyone able to advise what the wiring sequence should be on my BT open reach box?
    It looks like there is a blue (A) and white blue (B) cables connected to the internal A/B connectors, but where do these corresponding cables then connect into? There appears to be two options - either they connect to the A/B connectors on the plate that fits onto the main box or they connect up to the 2 / 3 / 5 connectors on the rear of the faceplate - anyone got any ideas?
    Solved!

  • Help please? problems with screen resolution & external monitor

    had a look around this forum and seen many questions about screen resolution when connecting to an external monitor but unfortunately, non that help me answer my problem.
    got a brand new macbook a few months ago and today bought a HP v220 22" external monitor.
    I am new to the idea of external monitors and am unsure what i am doing wrong settings-wise. it seems that no matter what resolution i set either my macbook display, or the external monitor display to. the external monitor is still not sharp.
    Im not sure how to explain what i need but basically i need it to be so that things appear on the external the same size as they do on my macbook screen, so that i will have more space to work in on my external monitor (i am a graphics student) but at the moment what appears on the monitor is lieterally just a magnified version of my macbook screen, hence it lacks clarity.
    the highest resolution offered in the menu for my macbook screen is 1280x800 and my external is recommended to be set at 1680x1050.
    what settings should i have to get the resolution right?
    i will be so so grateful if you can help. i think ive tried every single display setting but to no avail. so please help me!

    The 13.3" screen on the MacBook running at 1280 x 800 will have a ppi (pixels per inch) of around 113. A 22" monitor running 1680 x 1050 will have a ppi of around 90. So it is natural that it will look magnified compared with the MacBook. The two displays have different a pixel pitch.
    Since there are no monitors with ~113 ppi out there in the market, what you want to do with having the same size and sharpness between the MB and a monitor will not be possible.
    If you ran the MB's screen at 1024 x 640 (not even sure if that is an available choice), then the two screens would match in terms of "magnification." But the MB isn't going to look very sharp running such a low, non-native format.

  • My 4s lost sound on text alerts, music and keyboard clicks but still plays ringtones and alarm sounds.  Took to Genius Bar but they said never seen anything like it and to buy a new one.  Help please, need fix to get all sound back!

    Lost partial sound, speakers work but keyboard, music, text alert does not except on headphones, please help!

    If you've had it for less than a year, then it's still under warranty.  Take it to an Apple store or an authorized service facility.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1434

  • Help!! N85 with no call sound

    Hi, my N85 has all of a sudden ceased to have sound when I make a call or someone calls me BUT, if I use the loudspeaker, it works.
    I took it back to the store I bought it and a salesman had the same problem and Nokia told him to update the firmware. So, I have done that, to no avail. I still have the problem.
    Any ideas??
    Thanks

    It looks like you have a faulty earpiece. This is a hardware problem, not software. An update will not fix it.

  • Help please.  Trouble with a table

    Hi All.  Hope you can help.  Looked through the Q & A but it's all about CS4 so no good to me as I have CS3.  I am new to DW and trying to start my site.  I inserted a table with 1 x row and 2 x columns.  I first made the left column 160 px wide, and the rest for the main body.  Inserted a graphic at the top of the left column to head the menu.  Then I tried to insert another graphic into the body (right column)  I could not place this graphic at the top because the cursor would only go half way down the image on the left.  I tried doing various things and one image would go up and the other down or vice versa.  It's driving me nuts :-))  Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong please?
    Also, does anyone know of a site where I can get good tutorials in CS3 please/, without it costing me a small fortune.  TIA
    Regards
    Jon

    With your cursor in the table cell, set the verical alignment to Top in the properties panel.  That will ensure that any images or text you place within that cell stays at the top no matter how the cell or table expands.
    And not to be disrespectul in any way, this is a pretty basic function of table layouts.  You are sure to run into many more troubles along the way unless you study up on tables and how they work in DW.  So instead, I agree with the above response - you're going into a learning curve anyway, so you may as well apply it to CSS - I think things will even go quicker for you that way and you'll be building sites using the current and better technology.

  • Help Please!  working with avi files.

    I need to import an avi file (320 x 240) into FCP 3. The clip will be composited with a title that was originally in eps format which I have converted into a PSD file.
    When I put them on my sequence it both need rendering. I have adjusted my sequence settings to match the files but still rendering is necessary.
    The avi properties are:
    320x240
    30 fps
    6.8 MB / S
    Alpha : none/ignore
    Composite: normal
    pixel aspect: square
    Compressor field is blank
    Sequence Settings are:
    320x240 Multimedia (large)
    30 fps
    Data Rate field is blank
    Alpha field is blank
    Composite: normal
    pixel aspect: square
    Compressor: DV/DVC Pro - NT
    The PSD file also needs rendering to view. This is when they are just individually side by side on the timeline, not even stacked above one another. How can I get both the avi file and PSD file to play without rendering?
    My deadline for this intro clip is tomorrow and I need help quickly!

    I was going to wait till you bumped your post again.
    Don't do that.
    Please.
    There are dozens of AVI codecs that have been obsolete for ten years and even more that never made it to the Macintosh. QT may or may not be able to open them. If you can play them, export from QTP to conventional DV and bring the newly created copy of the movie into a conventional DV sequence in FCP. There are other AVI conversion utilities.

  • HELP PLEASE - Still struggling with 3-5 minute boot times - Neo4 SLI

    Okay, I THOUGHT my computer was "locking up" after the "DMI Pool" meesage on about every other boot.  The fact is, it may have never actually locked up, I just thought it did whe it just needed more time.  I've read about possibly trying to roll back my NVidia ATA drivers, but Windows says there are no drivers to roll back to.  Could someone tell me where to get alternative drivers?
    Better yet, could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong to get this LOOOOOOONNNNNGGGG Boot time?
    By the way, I have tried going with just one SATA, I've tried two, I've tried a PATA drive alone, and I've tried all three.  No help
    (I'm a newbie here, but I THINK my system specs will show up below in my signature.  If not, I'll follow up in a reply messagewith the specs.)
    PLEASE HELP!
    Thanks for reading - thanks even more if you can help.   

    1) Quote
    Lite-On CDRW
    seems common. Check that your optical drives are correctly jumpered (master/Slave). The Nvidia ATA drivers require this & don't like CS(cable select) which some drives are set to. if in doubt check the manufacturers site for the jumper settings.
    2) if there is room have the optical drives on seperate ide channels. again if moving them update jumper positions if necessary.
    3) If all else fails change Ata drivers to the Nicrosoft ones.
    In device manager :-
    Click update driver on the Nvidia Pata driver tab in properties.
    Choose install from a specific location
    Select dont choose , i will choose the driver
    Then select standard dual channel pci controller which is the XP 1
    luck

  • Please dont bully with questions in order to reward points to ur friend

    I can see today that some people who are asking question is not giving the rigt points to the right person and he is always giving the point to some person who has not even understand his question. I feel this is violating the Sportsmanship as well as the transparency of the Forum.
    Thanks

    Hello Arghadip,
    I'm already glad when there're points awarded anyhow, as sometimes the posts aren't event marked as "question answered", not event talking about that someone assigned any points.
    As per your comment above:
    I have checked the post(s) you were possibly addressing and cross referenced this with at least 5 other posts and I cannot find anything of substance.
    Thanks for your posts in this forum,

  • Help Please! -- issue with Mad Catz controller

    Can anyone help me out here? I have a Mad Catz Wireless PC Con and I'm having trouble getting it to work. After plugging it into a USB port, when I go to the System Profiler and go to the USB section, the PC Con is listed as hooked up to the USB port like it should be, so I know the computer is reading it properly, but I can't get it to work. When I open the apps I want to use it with, the buttons don't do anything. The obvious reason for this would be that the PC Con isn't compatible with those applications, but that's not the issue here because I have an application (USB Overdrive) that allows joysticks (or controllers or whatever) to be set up to work with any application, and this always worked for me perfectly when I had Tiger. With Tiger I used to use the PC Con with the emulator applications all the time, but now that I've upgraded to Leopard, nothing happens when I hit the buttons. There were no decent instructions with the PC Con. Is there anything I need to to do install the controller first before I can use it or something like that? Does anyone have any ideas for me? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks alot.
