How I got sound out of my Audigy 2 in Bet

We all know how there's no drivers out yet for Vista Beta 2...so people are suggesting all kinds of things to try to get our SB cards to work... I have Vista Beta 2 Build 5384 installed and I have an Audigy 2 ZS card...and no matter what Audigy drivers I tried...no love. I decided to do a clean install of Vista this time and try something out...AND IT WORKS! Maybe you guys can try this out too and see if it works for you.
Here's the steps I took:
. I downloaded the latest Vista 32-bit drivers for my Audigy 2 ZS from Creative's site...the one that's November '05 and named SBAX_PCDVTBETA_US_2_08_0002.exe
2. I downloaded the latest Realtek AC'97 Vista Beta drivers from http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/dlac97-2.aspx?series=8&Software=True
3. Install the Sound Blaster driver, you'll have to reboot...once you reboot it should try to install the drivers but will fail...atleast with me, I kept getting a time out error saying its failed.
4. Now I don't have onboard soundon my Dell..just the SB card so I figured let me try Realtek drivers anyway... Install the Realtek driver, reboot, you should be prompted to install your soundcard driver.. I selected to let it show me the available drivers list and my Audigy was in the list...hit install and it installed the Audigy drivers for me! What the Realtek drivers have to do with anything, I don't know...but it worked for me so I'm happy
The only thing is that after testing all the speaker set ups up to 5.....5. didn't 00% work...my rear speakers and sub wouldn't produce a sound while testing while the rest of the speakers did...and then they would get distored...so I have to keep it in STEREO mode int he configuration. Doesn't matter to me since I just put my Logitech Z5500 speakers in "stereo X2" mode so sound comes out all the speakers...and the sub still will pound.
Hopefully this works for you guys who are having problems getting sound out in Beta 2...lemme know how it works!Message Edited by vice86 on 06-30-2006 07:53 PM

. The beta driver is flakey, use the XP driver
2. there is no consistant way to install the driver, upon various OS reinstalls (I have installed at least a dozen times at this point, I am testing a variety of stuff under the covers) I have gotten things to work as easy as slick install upon OS install completion... to haveing to fight tooth and nail in safe mode (on the same machine)
3. The Vista release was not a surprise, the number of major hardware vendors that have their ducks in a row with drivers is greater then those that do not. However, this is beta people, if you expect a finished product use XP... wait XP is a mismash of patchs and updates just like every other MS OS.
4. if you want perfection and things to work right out of the box, get a MAC

My i phone plays music but the apps don't make any noise. Anyone know how to get sound out of apps?

Does anyone know how to get app games to make sound. The i pod works fine!

You might have turned of the sound in settings under sounds drag the ringer option all the way. Hope this helps.

Pioneer Receiver, can't figure out how to get sound out of it

I bought a Pioneer receiver along with my TV and Blu-Ray at BB. Hooked it up; Blu-ray and Cable to Receiver (both HDMI) and single HDMI output to TV. Use HDMI thru-put but it won't allow me to direct sound to the speakers hooked up to the receiver. Instructions say to toggle "Auto/Direct" to "Auto Surround" but it won't allow it in HDMI mode. The manual is in Swahili. Anyone have experience and can tell me what to do? I grant you the right to tell me I'm an idiot for not being able to follow the manual. :-)

You can delete it whenever you want, to use it to restore your new phone from...
Navigate to Settings > General > Software Update and install any updates available.
Navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all contents and settings on the device you want to restore.
When this completes and the Set-Up Assistant starts, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from.

I Get No Sound Out of My iPad - How Can I Get Sound?

I can't get any sound out of my iPad.The lock sounds switch on the side of the iPad is set to provide sounds. The volume switch next to the lock sounds switch is set to full volume. I have a number of apps that are much better if sound is enabled. There is no sound for these apps. The Options in the apps are all set to "sound." I have re-booted my iPad. Still no sound. I have gone into Settings/Sounds. I don't see anything in there that involves the master sound system for the entire iPad - only sound setting for individual apps.
I have several manuals. I have combed through them - nothing. It's like how to turn the master sound on or off for the iPad is some kind of huge secret that no one wants me to find out about.
Let's fool 'em, hey? Tell me how to get sound out of my iPad. I will be forever grateful.

Never mind - I got it. It has to do with the Rotation Lock and Mute switches in Settings/General.
How did I figure it out? Google.

[Solved] No sound out of M Audio 2496

I have an onboard Intel card and the MAudio card and I just use ALSA.
aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC883 Analog [ALC883 Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 1: ALC883 Digital [ALC883 Digital]

card 1: M2496 [M Audio Audiophile 24/96], device 0: ICE1712 multi [ICE1712 multi]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
The Intel card works fine.
The MAudio card, however, does not output any sound at all. The snd_ice1712 module is loaded and when I send a sound file to the device, like so:
aplay -D plughw:1,0 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
I can see the levels in envy24control moving, so I know the card is receiving the signal, but nothing comes out of the speakers.
What I have tried:
Disabling the onboard card in the BIOS
Editing /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf to make the 2496 load in the first slot
Unmuted all the channels, devices etc in alsamixer and envy24control
My ~/.asoundrc is from the ALSA wiki for this card
Took the card to a neighbours and plugged it into a Windows box and (eventually) got sound out of it..
Read the threads on these boards and searched the web for non-Pulse fixes
I am at a loss. I know the card works, but I can't seem to get a peep out of it.
Is there something obvious that I am missing?

Hi Jason, good to see you.

"A How-To" on the steps to FIX the Problem of NO Sound Card DETECTION with AUDIGY 2 and Win XP

Note#: When restarting the PC each time, shut off the main power switch on the Power Supply then back on.
Note#2: You will need the Windows XP CD WITH the SP2 on it or have the download SP2 Install file from MS on your PC. I have it on CD.
. Remove the sound Card
2. Use the Removal/Un-installation Procedures for the drivers in Knowledge Base Under Windows XP Step by step. Restart to get all the files deleted in the Creative folder if necessary.
Here is the (Solution ID#) for the Uninstallaion found in the Creative.com Knowledge Base: SID72 "How to uninstall Sound Blaster drivers and applications?"
Alternati'vely, Click on the Sound Blaster Picture Box under the Knowledge Base Main Search Page and the article should be in the resulting list.
3. Use the DCProSetup_.exe from http://files.trunetworks.com/utilities/
Use it carefully Selecting [Creative] then Check the box for Muntiple Cleaning Filters, and remove the Creative Audio Drivers by Clicking on Start.
4. Go into the Registry by Typing Regedit in the Start>Run.. Menu
Navigate and remove the Entry for CTCMSGo.exe, it is running in the back ground otherwise and i believe it interrupts the re-installation of MediaSource Files.
HKEY_CURRENT USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
The file link/tag, it will be on the right half of the screen, Delete it. CTCMSGo.exe=(Creative Technologies Media Source Go)
5. Restart the PC, dont forget to switch Power Supply to off while powered down and on before powering back up.
6.Go to the Win XP SP2 CD or the file downloaded, select re-install but choose UPDATE, not New Installation. Let the Install run and update your pc, this procedure has no data loss or settings changes in Windows.
7. Restart PC
8. Turn off PC and install the Audigy 2 Card. Then turn on the PC. At this point you might get a plxcore.plx Error of file missing. Not to worry.. copy the file from within the Creative Drivers CD and paste it into the Creative Folder In C:\Program Files\Creative
The Knowledge base Article on the steps is: SID287 "Error: Program could not load because Plxcore.plx cannot be found"
9. Power up and see if you get PCI Device, and Audio Controller Detetion. If you dont then do the following:
A) Remove the Sound Card and Re-install the Win XP SP2 Update a number of times ( I did this about 5 times until detection) Each time restart and install the Sound Card into any of the empty PCI Ports until detection.
If that does not work after a number of times try the following:
B)Power off and switch the PCI slot of the Sound Card (to all the PCI slots if necessary with complete power off each time) Without Re-installing XP SP2 Update.
0. After you get Detection, The Windows Auto Installer for Drivers will pop up..select Find Drivers Automatically, then Install then install the drivers it finds. It will put in some basic Audigy Drivers from the CD or online i'm not sure where it gets them from. Keep your Driver CD in the CD Dri've.
.Restart the PC, then install the Drivers and Media Source Files from the CD (it may not all get installed and may give an error and you have to shut down and re-install the drivers and Media Source over again and over again so it fills in the gap of missing files/drivers until it all works without deleting the previously installed parts).
2. Only install this update from the File/ Downloads Section on the Creative website: EAX4DRV_AUDIGY2__84_50.exe Dated 29 July 04. The new beta one that was released is what started all my troubles, so plz i urge you to wait for it to be official.. unless you really want to test it out at your risk.
And there you have it.. in 8 Hours and some ideas from friends and relati'ves concerning detection problems of other hard ware they have had i decided to play Roulette all night and this combo works. I had to play Roulette switching the PCI slots (5 of them), and then towards the end play Roulette with the Creative Driver CD install... until they all work perfectly. WHEW!!!
Notice: I hope if you are really ticked off at having no sounds and want to try this at your own risk and responsiblity go ahead, and I wish you luck. None of the proedures are too out of the ordinary. I dont know if it will work for you but it worked for me and maybe it will possibly for other similar Sound Cards as well.. like ZS or Li've! etc. with similar problems. Happy Sound Blasting!!!

Thanks for pointing that out, it was not apparent on the day i used them and wrote the How-To. The links have been replaced with the SID# (Solution ID #) and the title given for the Article.

How do i fix sound font fail for audigy 2

all of the suddon my sound stopped working and my diagnostics say sound font fail. how do i fix this problem?

I had the exact same problem updating the drivers for my Audigy 2 Platinum EX, but I think I managed to solve the problem. This was quite awhile ago, but I think I remember how I got it to work.
First of all, which update did you download? The "Digital Rights Management" driver update was the one giving me that problem, and this was after installing the main drivers and programs from my Audigy 2 CD. But, I think the reason why it gives this message is because you need to install one of the other driver updates first, then install this DRM update. Look under the driver details and it says the following:
"<EM>Requirements</EM>:
Microsoft? Windows? XP Service Pack 2 or Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 </LI>
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 or Audigy 2 ZS series internal audio device </LI>
<EM>EAX 4.0 ADVANCED HD Driver Patch Update for Sound Blaster Audigy 2 and Audigy 2 ZS (released on 29 March, 2004) installed, or Sound Blaster Audigy 2 and Audigy 2 ZS Driver Update (released on 29 July, 2004) installed</EM>."</LI>
Strangely enough, it appears this update requires you install an older driver update first (EAX4DRV_AUDIGY2__84_50.exe) then afterwards try running the Digital Rights Management update.
I think this is right, but I'm not 00% sure.

When I connect my Mac Mini 2011 with Lion to a TV via HDMI and an earphone cable is plugged in, it´s not possible to choose sound out via hdmi, as opposed to connection via minidisplay port. Anybody knows how to fix this?

Was just on the phone with Apple about this.
The solution was as follows for me anyway...
Go to your Finder
Choose the Go Menu
Choose Computer
Choose your Macintosh Hard Drive
Choose your "Library" Folder
Choose the "Preferences" Folder
There should be a folder called "Audio"
Move that whole folder to the trash
Empty the Trash
Restart from the Apple Menu
When you are back up and running;
     Choose System Preferences from the Apple Menu
     Choose Sound
      In the output tab you should now be able to make the HDMI "Sticky"
      Enjoy your sound over HDMI and no more dirty knees or broken backs unplugging the desktop speakers!

Change your password.

So I bought an iphone 4 from ebay and when I got it it was already signed into an icloud account. When I contacted the seller he said he would try to get the password but i haven't heard from him. How can I sign out of her icloud w/out the password

You cannot.

Try and get a Refund.

HT5622 I think my granddaughter bought a $3.99 app after I put the password in for a free app. How can I find out what she purchased? Can I get credit for it? I just got an email from my credit card confirming the purchase.

The password is good for 15 minutes to make purchases. You should receive a receipt in 24 to 48 hours for the purchases. There is a link to Report an issue. You could use that to start a conversation with iTunes Support about a refund.
Apple considers all sales final. But has been known to offer a one time refund. So the question is, do you want to use your one time refund on this purchase or one more expensive in the future?

Hi there how are you guys out there of this forum? I got a question for y'a

Hi there how are you guys out there of this forum? I got a question for y’all
I wanted to know how I could record different folders using iTunes
Cause when recorded 2000 thongs on the DVD
There were 2000 songs to go through
So I really wanted to have had folders and then the music recorded inside them
So I could get right to where I wanted real quickly
Could anyone please teach me how to do that real quickly?
Can we do it with iTunes?
I know we can do it with Nero.

1) Go to file, select new playlist. Creat the playlaist.
2) Download your music into iTunes.
NOTE: CHECK 'Recently Added' before you download your music.
If the select boxes has a check in them, turn it off by
holding down the 'ctrl' key and selecting one of the
checked boxes. This shold turn off all the checks.
It would be better to clear 'Resently Add' of all
previous downloads, but I don't know how to do that
yet.
3) under 'PLAYLIST' on the right, select 'Recently Add'.
all of your song should show there with a check in the selection
box.
4)Hold the shift key and select the frist (selete records name),
then the last recorded tune. All of the recordings shouls light
up blue.
5) While holding the 'shift' key, drag one of the records to your new
playlist. All of the blue highlighted song will transfer to the new
playlist.

You can not access the backup directly.
Did you restore your replacement from this backup?
If so then you already have everything in the backup on your device.
If not, you can wipe the device and restore from this backup:
Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings
What is it you are worried about losing that isn't already on your current device?

HT201240 I just got my Mac yesterday. My kids want to access sites that need the adobe player. When I try and download it asks for a password. I do not even remember setting one up? How do i find out what it is?

FYI this is the legitimate Flash Player installer:
This one is bogus:
As X423424X wrote do not download it from any site other than the one he linked.
Adobe does not require a password to download the Flash installer. Generally speaking passwords are not required to download software, unless you must register with the website so as to log in. In that case you should never use the same name and password you use to administer your Mac.
