Help with speaker noises

Hey there,
I have an iMac... with bootcamp on it.
Im having a problem with the speakers everytime i switch over to windows...
when im in a lower volume i hear a distorted weird alien like noise coming from the built in speakers... until i either put in differnet speakers or put in headphones, then the noise is gone...
anyonw know why this happens?? :S
any help woudl be appreciated

I believe so. The "clickity" noises are an option; I like them. You can shut them off via the Main Menu Settings. As for the "whizzing", I'm not exactly sure. It's probably normal, but I can't recal. If everything is working completely fine, then it's probably nothing to worry about, unless it's loud enough to hear over your music, which I doubt.

Need help with the noise reduction settings

Hi,
After som experimenting I need some help with the settings for noise reduction.
I just edited and converted a few pictures from RAW (D200) til 8-bit TIFF. Opend the file up in photoshop and was shocked to see the amount of noise in the pictures. I then exported the RAW-files and did the same conversion in Capture One 3.7.3 - The result is a lot better regarding noise. In capture One I'm using the noise reduction step before "High".
Can you share your experience with the optimal settings for best noise removal ?
Thanks in advance,
fbrose

i use it once in a while, but i play around with the sliders in full screen mode and at 100% and then see what the sliders do. I don't have a definite procedure that I can suggest though.

Please help with Horrible noises on Win 7 64bit install?

? I have an X-fi xtrememusic card that came from Dell preinstalled. The card works fine in 32 bit OSes and in 64bit linux but I'm disappointed yet again with this latest driver update that fixes nothing for me. I have terrible noises coming from the channels that do work. It's a 5. channel system. Any help and guidance would be appreciated. I had tried researching and fixing this before but put it on the back burner hoping an updated driver would eventually fix it. Win 7 RC has been out quite a while now and still no fix from Creative so here I am begging for help in a forum. Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help. I have an nvidia video card that is sli ready but I don't have a 2nd card installed, not sure if that info matters.

What does dep compliant mean? Are you talking about Data Execution Prevention? I understand win 7 is still in beta or Release Candidate status. It is due to start shipping in only?a few months so if Creative doesn't get on the ball, OEM's will ship with other vendors hardware. My on board Realtek sound works just fine but I would like to use the "upgraded" card I paid good money for. I am using the latest driver from Creative which is for my configuration. Can you please be more specific with your assistance? To answer your queston, yes, device manager shows that Creative drivers are installed. Thank you for your [email protected]

Help with speaker volume for calls

The speaker volume (both regular and speakerphone) when on a call is awfully loud. I can't find a way to turn it down enough, I have turned the in-call volume down as far as it will go with the rocker. Is there another way? I have to hold the phone 6 inches from my ear just to make a phone call.

Hello MostlyALurker,
May I ask what type of device do you have? If you have an Android device, I would recommend checking to see if there is a hearing aid option on the device. If so, make sure that this is disabled. Afterwards do a battery pull & retry the audio. If that doesn't work then we may have to do a factory reset on the device. Let us know the results after trying these steps.
Thank you...
Arnett,
Thank you for your reply. I have a DInc2, which is why I am posting in this forum (obviously). The hearing aid option is disabled. I have not tried a battery pull.

Is there a way to use Mail with a free email account?
Mail doesn't care, itself. All Mail cares about is whether you have the numbers to plug into the setup. The free or paid thing all depends on the mail provider. Yahoo doesn't care what PC or Mac program you are using to access it. They simply block the POP access by default, and release it when they have your money.
If you use Mail with a mail provider that has free mail client access, all you have to do is plug in the server info and you'll have direct access. GMail is one of these.

Help with speaker installation

I received the logitech Z313 speakers for my computer for Christmas. But, I seem to have a problem getting them to work. I have HP6700Y computer with HP2072a monitor. The monitor is plugged in, and the speakers in subwoofer plug in. why are the new speakers not working?

Hi Teke,
Were you using the monitor for audio output prior to purchasing the new speakers? If yes then your system is set to HDMI and possibly using audio output from your graphics card.
You need to change the default audio playback device in Control Panel - Sound. (See image).

Help with Ipod Noises

Hi,
I am first time IPOD owner. I bought one just last week, and when I browse through anything (photos, music) through the click wheel, there is a small "whizzing" noise (like an old hard drive), and some clickity sounds as well. Is this normal? Or a defect that I should return?
Thanks

Need help with Soundblaster Live! 5.1 and King Theatre 5.1 speake

Hi,
First time ost and need some help.
Ok i bought a nice Soundblaster Li've! 5. sound card around a month ago. 2 days ago i bought myself som speakers "Kingtheatre 5." I doubt it any of you have ever heard of this brand, i bought speakers from local shop. Ok this is where the problems start. When i try to connect the speakers i can only ever get 4 out of 5 satelites to work and the subwoofer. If i change the wiring around, i will only ever have 4 speakers working at a time. Can anyone help me with the connecting. In the back of the subwoofer i have 3 cables, one says "Centre/subwoofer" the other says "Input | surround L/R" with the word Input on the side of it, and the last one says "Front L/R(Stereo)". At the back of my soundcard i have the following colour plug ins (sorry im only 4, im not used to technical terms) Ok from left to right black, green,pink(mic),blue and a orange/brownie colour. Can anyone help with the pluging it part.
Cheers, sorry about the long post.

Dooda,
If you can post a link for the layout diagram of your speaker system then it will be great.
From your description, you could try this. Connect the audio cable from subwoofer "Front L/R(Stereo)" to Green jack on the sound card, "Input | surround L/R" to the Black jack and "Centre/subwoofer" to the Orange jack on the sound card.
Do a speaker test via the Creative Surround Mixer application.

Help with Audio Playback While Recording

I am an aspiring sound engineer and I am having a problem with recording in Audition 3.0 that I need help with. When i record vocals, the sound wave plays back in the speakers/headphones with like a 1.5 second delay after it is recorded. It really throws off the artists I am working with when they are trying to record vocals. How do i kill headphone/speaker playback while someone is recording?

There are problems with a lot of internal soundcards in a lot of laptops, and these seem to be so many and various that all you can do is use trial and error and hope for the best.
External soundcards should cure any problem, but you may have to look into what else is running on the laptop, as so much is integrated, and some machines seem to have audio problems caused by wireless or other network adaptors etc.
As I said, I use oldish Edirol and Tascam usb units. The Tascam has a known fault (noise when using a guitar channel at the same time as phantom powering a mic on the other channel) which I can live with, and I would hope has been solved in later and current versions. The Edirol is fine. I use 2 units to give me the connections I want (ie one has jacks, the other phono plugs, and different size headphone sockets). Both these have asio and wdm drivers and work fine with AA 3.0 here. More modern devices will be usb2 and will presumably provide more channels or higher sampling rates, but these are fine. Others will be more up to date than me, but I would think anything from Tascam, Edirol, Echo Audio and I think most m-audio models should be fine. Just be wary of anything from Creative Labs. I, too, have had bad experiences with one of their products (it drew too much current from the usb port on a couple of the laptops so I never got as far as to find whether it had asio drivers working or not). But others will be more up to date than I am.
I just went onto ebay over the years and kept bidding on sensible looking devices until I got ones at the right price, but it probably is better to buy new if you can afford it.
Sorry I can't give a more definite answer.

Help with Voice Over - clean up inspiration

Hi there, I'm recording some audio in my home for a video tutorial. Trouble is I'm getting some nasty sounds and it seems it's taking me forever to clean up the file.
Settings: using the Podcast Voice effect rack, using a blue yeti mic, nothing too professional about it.
Trouble:
- I constantly have to insert silence at the start of each new phrase. The Podcast voice effect even augments the inspiration effect, but even without it's quite obvious;
- My "S"s are really strong, tried deesser, no big hit there
- I constantly make a sound with my lips at the start of each phrase - not sure how to call it.
What can I do to automate the clean up process since I have over 5 hours of recorded audio? I'd like to be able to select a certain sound (like my inspiration) and totally remove it from everywhere. Tried that with the noise print, but didn't help.
If it's not obvious, I'm quite a newbie at this.
Thank you.

It's hard to know where to start with this - but your problem isn't going to be solved by processing. You have to get the source recording done properly, and there's no way around this. If you want your results to sound like a professional production, then you have to approach it the way a professional voice artiste would.
Your initial problem is clearly in your microphone technique. You need to be 7-8" from the microphone, but not speaking directly at it. You want it either slightly above or below your mouth level, and offset to one side slightly - this will reduce a lot of the problems you are picking up, but not all of them. And get, and use, a pop screen.
To fix more of your problems, you are going to have to learn a sensible breathing techique - which invariably involves breathing in more slowly, and through your nose. Lip-smacking almost invariably results from drinking the wrong things (or nothing) before or during your recording session. Basic rules are - no coffee or tea or any other stimulants, and nothing which forms a mucus in your mouth, like milk. Basically, the best thing is to drink nothing but water anywhere near or during the time of your recording session.
Other things you should do include speaking in a controlled manner - make sure that you pronounce the ends of words at the same rate as the starts of them, and leave time to breath slowly between sentences - this also helps your audience to assimilate what you're saying.
Once you've sorted this out, you should end up with no more than a content editing session. As for your 5 hrs of material - well, you won't be able to fix it in a satisfactory manner whatever you do if it's as bad as you say, and you could easily spend more than 5 hrs failing to do this. So I know it's painful, but scrapping it is your best option here. Spend some time fixing the problems at source, and you'll get all the time back, and some, in the long run. So do a few experimental test runs, and listen to the results - you'll soon find out what helps and what doesn't.

Dual Core Center runs with strange noises

Hello
I just bought a new PC: MSI P45NEO-F (Motherboard) and GALAXY 9600GT (Graphic Card).
I installed Dual Core Center since it was provided as an utility software.
As soon as Dual Core Center is running, strange noises come out from the speakers and they never stop until I close the application. I have to switched off the speaker because it is unbearable. Except the sound from the speakers, computers is working OK. Even Dual Core Center with this noise seems to work.
I am not an expert at all.
Does anyone had this problem or would know where it comes from ?
Computer seems to work OK when Dual Core center is not running.
Thanks

Hello
I just had another look at my problem and I noticed that one of the figure displayed in Dual Core Center was in red. It is the fan speed of system1 in the Fan Menu: the number in red was 995 RPM. As soon as the figure goes above 1000 (it does happen from time to time) the figure becomes green and the strange noise stops.
I have two fans in my computer: the CPU fans whose speed is around 1530 and the System1 fan whose speed is around 995 RPM. There are some setup in the BIOS regarding Fans but I guess everything is properly setup.
Anyway is there anything wrong with a fan system1 speed below 1000 ? Why would Dual Core center put the figure in red in that case and make a noise as a warning ?
Thanks for your help/advices.

Need help with a currently "in-use" form we want to switch to Adobes hosting service

Hi, I am in desperate need of help with some issues concerning several forms which we currently use a paid third party (not Adobe) to host and "re-distribute through email"...Somehow I got charged $14.95 for YOUR service, (signed up for a trial, but never used it)..and now I am paying for a year of use of the similar service which Adobe is in control of. I might want to port my form distribution through Adobe in the hopes of reducing the errors, problems and hassles my customers are experiencing when some of them push our "submit button". (and I guess I am familiar with these somewhat from reading what IS available in here, and I also know that, Adobe is working to alleviate some of these " submit" issues, so let's don't start by going backwards, here) I need solutions now for my issues or I can leave it as is, If Adobe's solution will be no better for my end users...
We used FormsCentral to code these forms and it works for the most part (if the end-user can co-operate, and thats iffy, sometimes), but I need help with how to make it go through your servers (and not the third party folks we use now), Not being cruel or racist here, but your over the phone "support techs" are about horrible & I cannot understand them or work with any of them, so I would definitely need someone who speaks English and can understand the nuances of programming these forms, to please contact me back. (Sorry, but both those attributes will be required to be able to help me, so, no "newbie-interns" or first week trainees are gonna cut it).... If you have anyone who fits the bill on those items and would be willing to help us, please contact me back at your earliest convenience. If we have to communicate here, I will do that & I can submit whatever we need to & to whoever we need to.
I need to get this right and working for the majority of my users and on any platform and OS.
You may certainly call me to talk about this, and I have given my number numerous times to your (expletive deleted) time wasting - recording message thingy. So, If it's not available look it up under [email protected]
(and you will probably get right to me, unlike my and I'm sure most other folks', "Adobe phone-in experiences")

Well, thanks for writing back...just so you know...I started using Adobe products in 1987, ...yeah...back then...like Illustrator 1 & 9" B&W Macs ...John Warnock's Helvetica's....stuff like that...8.5 x 11 LaserWriters...all that good stuff...I still have some of it working on a mac...much of it was stuff I bought. some stuff I did not...I'm not a big fan of this "cloud" thing Adobe has foisted upon the creatives of the world...which I'm sure you can tell...but the functionality and usefulness of your software can not be disputed, so feel free to do whatever we will continue to pay for, ...I am very impressed with CC PS on the 64 bit PC and perhaps I will end up paying you the stipend that you demand for the other services.
So I guess that brings us to our problem.. a few years back and at the height of the recession and near bankruptcy myself, I was damn lucky and hit on something and began a small arts and crafts supply service to sell my products online to a very "niche market" ...I had a unique product and still sell that product (plus others) online...My website is www.vinylcouture.com...Strange? Yes...but there is a market it seems, for everything now, and this is the market I service...Catagorically, these are 99%+ women that use these "adhesive, sticky backed vinyl products" to make different "craft items" that are just way too various and numerous to go into... generally older women, women who are computer illiterate for the most part...and all this is irrelevant to my problem, but I want you to have every bit of background on this and especially the demographic we are dealing with, so we can get right to the meat of the problem.
OK...So about two years ago, I decided to offer a "plain sheet" product of a plain colored "stick back" vinyl... it is available in multiple quantities of packs ( like 5 pieces, 10 pieces, 15 pieces, in a packi & so on)...and if you are still on my site.. go to any "GO RIGHT TO OUR ORDER PAGE" button, scroll down a little...and then to the "PLAIN VINYL" section...you will see the Weebly website order process.) You can back out from here, I think,..but, anyway this product is available in 63 colors + or - a few. So then the problem is, how do they select their individual colors within that (whatever) pack?... .
So my initial idea was to enable a "selection form" for these "colors" that would be transmitted to me via email as 'part" of the "order process".. We tried getting our customers to submit a " a list" ( something my competitiors still do, lol, poor bastards)......but that..is just unbelievable..I can't even begin to tell you what a freakin' nightmare that was...these people cannot even count to 10, much less any higher... figuring out what colors to list and send me... well, lets just say, it wasn't working......I had to figure out a better way...Something had to be done.
So after thinking this all out, and yeah...due to my total ignorance, i figured that we could make a form with Live Cycle Designer (Now Forms Central)...(back then something that was bundled with Adobe Acrobat Pro), I believe, and thats what this thing was authored in... and it would be all good...LOL!
Well not so simple...as you well know, Adobe Acrobat would NOT LET YOU EMAIL anything from itself.....it just wouldn't work (and I know why, and all that hooey), but not being one to take NO for answer,.I started looking for a way to make my little gizmo work.. So I found this company that said they can "hijack" (re-direct actually) the request to email, bypass the wah-wah, and re-transmit it to the proper parties.....for less than $100 a year, I think...its called http://pdf-fillableforms.com/.
A nice gentleman named Joseph Silva helped us program the thing to go to his servers and back out. Please dont hassle them...I need them...for now..it basically does work...try it...you should get back a copy of the form that you filled out...good luck however, if you're on MAC OSX or similar...
I have included a copy of both of our forms (and feel free to fill it out and play with it)...just put test somewhere on it...(and you must include YOUR email or it will balk)..they are supposed to be mostly identical, except one seems to be twice as large....generating a 1.7 meg file upon submission, while the other one only generates a 600K file or so...thats another issue for another day or maybe you can advise on that also...
OK so far so good......In our shop, once Grandma buys a 10 pack (or whatever), Only then she gets to the link on her receipt page ro the relevant "selection form" ,(this prevents "Filling and Sending" with "no order" and "no payment", another early problem we had)... which they can click on and it will usually download and open up on their device if all goes well...Then our little form is supposed to be fillable and is supposed to ADD UP all the quantities, so grandma knows how many she is buying and so forth right on the fly, and even while she changes her mind..., and IT'S LARGE so grandma can see it, and then it TOTALS it all up for them, ( cause remember, they can NOT add).., except there is a programming bug (mouse-click should be a mouse-up probably or something..) which makes you click in the blank spaces to get to a correct TOTAL...about 70-80% of our customers can enable all these features and usually the process completes without problems for them especially on PC's running Windows OS and Acrobat Reader X or XI...at least for most... Unfortunately it is still not the "seamless process" I would like or had envisioned for the other folks out there that do have trouble using our form.... Many folks report to us the following issues that we know of. First of all it takes too much time to load up...We know its HUGE...is there anyway that you can see, to streamline this thing? I would love for it to be more compact...this really helps on the phones and pads as I'm sure you well know.
Some just tell us,"it WON'T work"....I believe this is because they are totally out of it and dont even have Adobe Reader on their machine, & don't know how to get it ( yes, we provide the links).....or it's some ancient version....no one can stop this one...
It almost always generates some kind ( at least one time) of "error message" which we do warn them about..., telling one, basically that "Acrobat doesnt even like this happening at all, and it could be detrimental to ones computer files", blah-blah...(this freaks grandma out really bad)...& usually they end up not even trying to send it... and then I get calls that even you wouldn't believe...& If they DO nut up and push the Red "Submit Form" button, it will usually send the thing to us (and also back to them at the "required email address" they furnished on the form, thats what the folks at the "fillable forms place" do) so, if it's performing it's functions, why it is having to complain?. What are we doing wrong?....and how can I fix it?...Will re-compiling it or saving it as a newer version of "FormsCentral" correct any of these problems ?
Ok, so that should keep you busy for a minute and we can start out with those problems...but the next thing is, how can I take advantage of YOUR re-direct & hosting services?, And will it get rid of the error messages, and the slowness, and the iOS incompatibilities ? (amazingly, the last iOS Reader version worked almost OK.. but the newest version doesnt seem to work with my form on my iphone4) If it will enable any version of the iOS to send my form correctly and more transparently, then it might be worth the money...$14.95 a MONTH you say. hmmmmm...Better be good.
Another problem is, that I really don't need 5000 forms a month submitted. I think its like 70-100 or less....Got any plans for that? Maybe I'm just not BIG ENOUGH to use Adobe's services, however in this case, I really don't care whose I do use as long as the product works most correctly for my customers as well as us. Like I said, If I'm doing the best I can, I won't change anything, and still use the other third party, If Adobe has a better solution, then i'm all for that as well. In the meantime, Thanks for any help you can provide on this...
