HELP! X-Fi Fatal!ty no longer putting out ba

I have the X-Fi Fatal!ty card. It is installed on an XP SP 2 system and is attached to a THX certified Creative 5. speaker system.A while ago, I accidentally uninstalled OpenAL not knowing that it was part of Creative's software. The sound went funky, all highs and mids with no bass. So, I system restored. The sound was still funky. Then I ran a repair operation with my original CD. Still no bass. Then I did a complete uninstall using a driver cleaner to make sure it was all fully gone before reinstalling all of the drivers and software. Still no bass. Then I installed the latest drivers from Creative. Now the bass is coming through, barely. I had to use the THX bass redirecting along with the 5dB boost to hear the bass at a comparable volume to everything else, and it's still not coming through all the way. I have tried downloading and installing the latest Open AL. Once at the repair operation and once with the full uninstall/reinstall. I'm still stuck with this issue. Most of the lows seem, for some reason, to be redirecting into the small satellite speakers, and even then at a vastly reduced volume. In order to hear them at all, I have to turn up the volume really high, which means my highs are now extremely distorted. I am a little wary about trying the new X-Fi beta drivers unless someone can tell me that they for sure work.Nothing I have tried has been able to restore my sound to the way it was.Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this issue?

I think I?got a similar?problem earlier today when I was messing around with?onboard audio?that I later removed and after unplugging a?USB headset.
Have you checked the device manager, is there any higlighted hardware that has a exclamation mark next to it.
I fixed the issue by simply uninstalling the WDM device with the exclamation mark and restarted.

  • TS1398 Update iPhone 4s to 6.1.3 (10B329) now I can't connect to any wifi networks at home or at work and all car Bluetooth systems will not connect either. Help! Extremely annoyed at apple for putting out software that causes such mayhem.

    My iPhone 4s has been update as I said in subject bar.. Now can't connect to any of my cars Bluetooth systems. Also even more frustratingly can't connect to any wifi networks at home or work!!
    How can apple put out such an update that causes so much grief and inconvenience to hundreds of people. Not to mention risking lives with Bluetooth kits not working...outraged!!!!!!

    First, grow up.  Just because YOUR phone isn't working, doesn't mean Apple put out bad software.  I've not had any difficulty, nor has anyone else I know.  And just how is Apple risking lives with Bluetooth kits not working?  It's YOUR decision to talk on the phone or text and drive.  Not Apple's.
    We're users here, volunteering our time to help others.  Posts like yours, which are whiny and ranting, simply means we're likely to ignore you and not provide you with any help.  Not to mention, it makes you look absolutely foolish.
    Further making you look foolish is the fact that you haven't even asked a technical support question, nor have you provided anyone here with any troubleshooting steps you might have taken, including those recommended in the user guide.
    Good luck getting help.

  • IPod no longer puts out sound, tried multiple resets/headphones

    I have had my iPod for years, I believe I purchased it in 2006, and only days ago did it lose sound. I have tried to reset it, kill the battery, and I have also tried multiple headphones that work on other devices, to no avail. I've always had issues with it freezing, but never losing sound. It still indicates that it's playing, but no sound. Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this?

    It sounds like you have attempted all the known troubleshooting techniques.  It's more than likely that the headphone jack is a gone and is in need of replacement.

  • My iMac no longer puts out audio.

    It doesn't make a peep with either its built-in speakers or headphones. I don't know what the problem could be. Any ideas?

    Tried adjusting the volume, right?  Checked  to make sure that Audio System Preferences are ok?
    If so then try resetting the  System Management Controller (SMC) and the NVRAM and PRAM
    Also run Audio Midi Setup (in the Applications/Utilities folder) and make sure the output source Format: is 44100.0 HZ
    Finaly do you have Windows on the machine?
    Post back if you still have the problem

    I don't know if maybe using a registry cleaner would help.

    Premiere Pro audio slips out of sync, though it does not occur in Sony Vegas or in Lightworks with the same footage. Strangely, this is not only with the audio from within the video (.mts) file, but also from the audio I record separately and sync up in post. The frame rate and everything is, according to the sequence settings, accurately detected.
    Running my file through Handbrake is a workaround that I'm not willing to use. I've set my workflow (capture) so that this should be unnecessary, and indeed it is unnecessary . . . except for within Premiere Pro. Using Media Encoder to output an intermediate file doesn't work either; the audio still slips out of sync.
    Yes, I've already posted in the Premiere Pro forum, with no replies, but this is a bigger CC issue because the only way I'll give CC a try is with my 1 year $29.~ offer (as a CS user), which expires on the 30th. After that, I'll never give Adobe another look.

    Since you have quite a number of technical issue which needs expert guidance from the qualified technicians, please contact Adobe Support via chat or phone.
    Regarding the change in price after renewals, you can check it under "plan change" in your adobe.com if different pricing can be applied.

  • Hi can anyone help with a mac that had magnet put on it. I turned it on and then off but a white screen appears with a file with a question mark on it?

    Hi can anyone help with a mac that had magnet put on it. I turned it on and then off but a white screen appears with a file with a question mark on it?

    File icon with ? mark on it means it can't read from the hard drive. The hard drive is now wiped or bad. If just wiped then you will need to reinstall your operating system, OS X. If bad you will need to replace the drive.
    Start with booting the computer from the OS X install DVD that came with your system. If the Mac came with Lion Pre-Installed then you use the Lion internet recovery system to reinstall (Hold down Command+r keys or Command+Option+r keys to boot the computer from over the internet to the Lion recovery HD system).
    Good Luck.

  • Thunderbird (paired w. Cybermesa) no longer puts copy of msgs in the sent folder. I submitted this 2 wks ago & have tried Tools / Account Settings as described.

    Thunderbird (24.6.0) running on a Mac (With Cybermesa POP account, not AOL) no longer puts a copy of sent message into the Sent mail folder. I followed the instructions in your FAQ and read the similar question from Mike which hasn't been up there longer and hasn't been answered either.
    Pretty critical for my application to have a record of what was sent, and when. If you don't care, ignoring the problem for 2 more weeks will make that pretty clear and I'll find something else that does work.
    I look forward to hearing from you,

  • HT1386 Since iTunes upgrade, sync no longer puts my contacts into my groups

    Since my recent ITunes upgrade, IPhone sync no longer puts my contacts into my groups, even though I use the checked off groups option. The groups show up but do not contain any contacts.
    I even deleted all the contacts on my IPhone and started out fresh and resynced. Nada.

    Well, I can see a potential problem with that, although you must have made it work before.
    I had a set up on a Windows computer like that, but the iTunes accounts couldn't communicate or share content.  We consolidated, after much fuss, to one Library, one location. 
    This may be why your daughter has problems connecting to the iTunes store.  The "server" is serving 2 accounts.
    I am sure it is why the books didn't sync and can't be found on her iTunes account.  If you look on her iTunes on the computer, are the book titles pale gray?  is there an ! point on them?   This means that while the computer knows they were there, they can't connect with the actual content.   After all they can't be in two places at once.   iTunes can sometimes offer to "rebuild the path" to lost files, I don't know it that would work here.
    As for why they come and go from your device, I can only guess it is because they are not iTunes purchases.  Just like my PDFs, iTunes tolerates them, but really doesn't know what they are, or what to do with them, so it does nothing. (unless you make it!)  Not that iTunes treated the iBooks I did get from iTunes any better.
    As I posted above, the only way I could get it to work was to delete stuff, which seemed to shock iBooks into syncing the books and PDFs.  Maybe, finish the book you are reading, delete all then add new books?  (Sorry,it's all I got)
    If you are going to share content, one iTunes Library, but separate Apple IDs would work better.  But that is up to you (I'm also a parent, I get it)  I share with my 2 sons.
    You mentioned a Kindle.  I have one.  Never use it, but it is an older one.  The paperwhite seems like a good idea.  It is absolutely impossible to transfer PDFs to the kindle in a print size big enough to read unless it's
    24 pt type going in.  Didn't work for me, might work for you.

  • Long Lead Out Times!!!!! Help

    Anyone know how to cut down on writing lead-out times with dvd-studio pro 4
    Took about 7 min for a 30 sec clip

    The reason that the shorter the clip is, the longer the lead out is because of what I posted earlier. The dvd spec requires a gig minimum of data/content. Not all burners/burning applications will hold true to that spec, so some might not experience the longer lead out times (which is the burning application adding dummy padding data to fill the gig up). If you are using media, then that type is 'approved' by the dvd consortium; and typically is the type of media that will result in the long lead out times (complying to spec). Depending on the speed of the media and burner, 7 minutes would be about right for 1 gig (since the 30 sec clip wouldn't take up much by itself).
    If you use media (not 'officially approved by the dvd forum), then it's basically looked at as a data disc, and generally don't end up having the padding data added on; and hence they burn quicker.
