I have to complain for once... (64-bit drivers are po

As a whole I've had very little issues with Creative cards, other than when I had a poor Via chipset to my socket A computer I've had almost no trouble.
The reason I've been purchasing Creative cards at all has been because I really enjoy EAX audio, especially in dark engine games (thief + 2 + system shock 2).
I've had Li've, Audigy + 2 and now for quite some time X-Fi extrememusic. I only use two channel analog outputs (X-fi digital out seems to distort at times).
Alright, that's a quick recap and something positi've.
Well then, I decided I should try to step into the 64bit world a bit early to see if my work and gaming can be improved by 4GB RAM.
So I try the 64bit Vista Ultimate and all I get out of the audio is noise...at very high levels no matter the sound levels used. Rebooting does not help at all. i've got no room on my motherboard to move the card around to another PCI-slot.
In XP64 Pro, similar problems occur, the sound can be heard but it's extremely noisy. Totally unusable...
Audio in Vista 32bit worked a bit better but I had some other issues with is so I didn't really want to use it, not going to use DX0 for quite some time.
System:
e6300 @ 300 (.275v), Scythe Ninja + Nexus 20, Gigabyte GA965-S3 (bios 8), 4xGB Kingmax DDR800 @ 880 (.8v), x900xt 256MB (Thermalright HR03 + Nexus 20 @ 7v), 2x Samsung t66 500GB, X-Fi extrememusic, 20." Philips 200WP7ES, Seasonic S2 500w
Overclocking has absolutely no effect on the audio problems.
So creative, if you wish to have me as a customer for future needs, work harder on those drivers(!)

Same here. I have 64 bit vista home premium and all I get is loud static /noise from my 5. speaker system. I am using the 2_5_0002 driver. I waited for about 6 freakin months for a?freakin fix just to get a driver with the same exact problems as the last one. I'm about ready to take this POS soundcard out and smash it into my dri'veway with a sledge hammer. By the time the Einsteins here write a driver that works vista will be on its way out!!!!!!! If anybody can recommend a sound card that actually works I'm listening...Message Edited by oldpaint on -04-20070: AM

    I just went through this and it appears that my Focusrite Saffire was the culprit. I connected all the outputs on the focusrite according to the way the jacsk on the back were labeled and then set up the multichannel speaker setup to match. Then I went into STP, created a pink noise clip and panned it around, the LFE, center and rears were not in the right place.
    I reconnected the hardware to match the 5.1 pan pot in STP then changed the multichannel speaker setup to match. Everything appears to be correct now but I would have loved to have been able to just assigned the output busses to correct outputs in the saffire.
    Next step is to pan that pink noise around with my SPL meter to calibrate the room.

  • How can I get an in app purchase that never synced w/ imac onto comp from my old 3g so that i do not have to 'repurchase' for the 4 (2 apps are groove and doodle buddy)?

    how can I get an in app purchase that never synced w/ imac onto comp from my old 3g so that i do not have to 'repurchase' for the 4 (2 apps are groove and doodle buddy)?

    SO, do I delete the app off of both the old 3g phone AND the imac, then reinstall on ONLY the imac, then re sync?  OR, should I delete off computer, repurchase on computer then re-sync with new iphone4?  I realize this is kind of roundabout, but the issue I ran into was too much stuff on my old 8GB 3G, and I was stuck on iOS3 FOREVER (couldn't upgrade to iOS4) soooo, I deleted a whole bunch of piddly apps from the phone ONLY, which then allowed me to update to iOS4 (on the 3G).  Then, I could sync (which I did, but obviously not everything transferred, b/c when I synced the new 32 GB iphone 4, there are  particular apps {doodle buddy and groove, my tap fish...} that are missing the in app purchases, but these are still on the old 8GB 3G).  I am so confused....

  • Crystal Server 2011 "Failed to open the connection" with 32 & 64 bit drivers are loaded

    Brand new installation of Crystal Reports Server 2011 with CR Developer 2011 as well.  Downloaded new Postgres and MySQL drivers for both the 32 and 64 bit ODBC definitions.  Created a new report on the server to eliminate any migration driver incompatibility issues.  Reports run fine in Developer but give the same "Failed to open the connection." 
    and still problems running the reports  If I Save Data with the reports, I can click View to see the data, but they will not refresh.
    All the articles I'm finding online seem to point to the issue with needing 32 & 64 bit drivers, but I've loaded both and built my ODBC connections with the 32 drivers in the SysWOW64 folder.
    Logged in as Administrator.  Any thoughts out there?  Are there some new security measures?
    Thanks in advance ...

    Yes, Designer and CRS are on the same machine.
    Good catch with the 5.1 driver.  I loaded up the mysql-connector-odbc-5.1.13-win32 driver and used that.  It alone failed when I made the ODBC connection with it.  I see on the CRS 2011 Feature Pack 3 .pdf file that it says "Only 64-bit database connector middleware is supported" ... I downloaded the other mysql-connector-odbc-5.1.13-winx64 64bit file, but teh .msi and .zip versions failed on the load.  Do I need that if it says that or should the first one be enough?
    I've been trying to use a normal User DSN, no?  Apparently I don't have access as a machine Administrator to do it as I get "You are logged on with non-Administrative privileges.  System DSNs could not be created or modified."  Having our server guys get that straightened out and we'll see.  Had not heard of that actually but will give it a go.
    You say I should create the DSN entries in the 64 bit version of the ODBC Data Source Administrator ... located in the system32 folder, not the SysWOW64 folder, where the 32 bit drivers are found, yes?  Isn't that the "wrong" location to use I've been reading?  Or are System DSNs different from a User DSN?
    BIG thanks for the replies.  I owe you beers!!!!!

  • P6-2022uk - 32 bit system but no 64 bit drivers are available

    Hi,
    My mother recently asked me to clean up her computer (it was running a little slow).  After running several virus scans, scannow, chkdsk etc, no luck so for time contraint reasons I have reformatted the machine and currently in the process of reinstalling the drivers / software she needs.
    The Machine is the P6 2022uk - it has a 32 bit setup but your website does not offer the drivers for this, only the 64 bit version.
    IS anyone able to help me track down these driuvers?  I'm confused as to why all hardware specs I have read for this product state 64 bit - when PC World sold this machine as a 32 bit?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Jonathan

    According to the specs the original OS is Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit).  Here are the specs:

  • Have the installers for Flash x64 bit and Flash x32 Bit been combined?

    Up until just recently there were always 2 different installers for Flash. The 32 bit version and the 64 bit version. Has Adobe now combined the two separate installers in to one? Or do I still need to find separate x64 and x32 bit installers? I seem to be able to find the installer for 11.3.300.265 but it no longer says it is for 32 bit or 64 bit.
    I have been searching for some sort of a message or update put out by Adobe Flash announcing that they have combined the two installs, something that should be on the download page in big bold letters so that we know about the change and know we can stop keeping 4 separate installers and reduce it to two.
    I am an IT support professional and one of my jobs is to keep up to date with the full installers for things like Flash, Adobe Reader, Shockwave etc so that we can supply our customers with the latest updates, no spam involved and no tricks to install additional UNNEEDED and UNWANTED junk ware such as the MacAfee Security Scan Plus or Google Tool Bar that they try to trick you into installing, by pre-checking it, AN EVIL THING TO DO TO UNKNOWLEDGEABLE USERS, and the main reason we have to find and download the FULL INSTALLERS sans the crap ware ourselves and cannot trust Adobe to provide us with Crap Ware Free installs etc. ( For Shockwave we have to manually install it ourselves, a very time consuming thing since it ALWAYS tries to trck the user in to installing EVIL CRAP WARE such as Google Tool Bar and Norton's Security junk. If these were not EVIL programs and crap ware then they would not need to pre-check their installation, but they must obviously be EVIL CRAP WARE since they have to resort to tricking usurers in to installing them via a pre-check.

    Hi,

  • Do you have Fire fox for windows 64 bit operating systems?

    apparently some downloads look for windows 64 bit browsers which this one is load into programs (x86) 32 bit compatibility folder, could you guys create one that will load into the 64 bit folder? (like explorer)

    There are no Win64 release builds yet and may not be for at least the first half of 2013.
    Those unstable Nightly test builds mentioned above are not officially supported (tier 2 when most are tier 1) as they are more to catch breakage as it is possible to break Win64 without breaking Win32.
    In fact the today win64 build of 20.0a1 is crash prone (will not stay open for more than a few seconds) to show it is a use at your own risk.

  • [Bootcamp] Neither 32 nor 64 bit drivers are installing

    I have a 13 inch mid 2012 Macbook Pro. I'm trying to bootcamp Windows 7 Professional. I have both the bootcamp 5 and bootcamp 4 drivers installed on a USB in seperate folders. When I try and run the setup in windows I get the error message about "the version of this file is not compatible..." If the Bootcamp 5 setup is for 64 bit systems, and bootcamp 4 is for 32 bit, why am I unable to use either of them?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Boot Camp 4 drivers are for both 32 and 64-bit Windows versions. However, Boot Camp 5 drivers are newer and are designed only for 64-bit Windows versions.
    According to this Apple's article, your Mac supports both 32-bit Windows 7 (with Boot Camp 4) and 64-bit Windows 7 and 8 (with Boot Camp 5). Have you installed a 32 or 64-bit Windows version?

  • I removed the 64 bit version of Firefox and now my bookmarks for the 32 bit version are gone. How do I get them restored?

    Are previous bookmarks for the default stored somewhere on my hard drive?

    See [[Uninstall Firefox from your computer]]. It's not specifically mentioned in the article since most people don't have multiple versions of Firefox installed (such as a released version and a [http://nightly.mozilla.org Nightly version]) but using the uninstall option '''Remove my Firefox personal data and customizations''' removes ALL of your Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] data and settings (bookmarks, passwords, cookies, etc.) . If you did choose that option when you uninstalled your 64-bit version of Firefox, then I'm afraid the profile data is gone.

  • Why is there no Boot Camp support for the 64-bit version of Windows 7 on the 64-bit iMac that I'm using?

    The early 2008 24" iMac 8,1 has a 2.8 ghz E8235 Intel Core 2 Duo processor with a data width of 64-bits.
    I am straining badly to understand why Apple is only providing drivers for the 32-bit version of Windows 7 for the 64-bit hardware that I want to install it on.

    The 64 bit drivers are there, but there have been some installation
    issues depending on Windows OS and Apple hardware.  You may
    want to post on the Bootcamp forum to get more direct response to
    your issue.
    FWIW, at one point, I forget when, I found I needed to manually
    open the 64 bit versions of the drivers to install them that were created
    on the bootcamp driver install disk (image).  As I recall the was a
    64 bit .msi "global" installer but even at that there was an individual
    one that needed to be manually installed.
    Its been a while since I last did this since I have been doing everything
    in Windows virtual machines with Parallels.

  • Drivers for Satellite L300-1AN for Vista 64-bit

    Hello,
    I just bougt a notebook, Toshiba Satellite L300-1AN, and i Intend to install Vista 64-bit OS but i didn't find drivers for Vista 64-bit (only for Vista 32-bit). Can you help me withsome information or some links?
    Another question (I am not an expert): my notebook have 4Gb RAM and some guys told me that only a 64-bit OS can use all my 4Gb RAM. Is this true?
    Thank you,
    Calin

    Usually the drivers have to be specifically designed for 64-bit OS, and the installer must definitely not contain any 16-bit code (which is not compatible with 64-bit OS, but which is still a common thing nowadays - for the 32-bit drivers only, obviously). Some 32-bit drivers are somehow compatible with 64-bit OS, but there's a performance limitation (and possible conflicts with other drivers and memory resource allocation; 100% compatibility with the OS, as well as the OS' manufacturer certification, are some of the key features that will make Windows 7 better than Vista, since most of the problems are related to poorly written drivers).
    Searching Toshiba's site for 64-bit drivers is definitely not a solution, since the technical specs on the website are not so detailed and cannot be used in order to narrow the search area (and there's no field to search by chipset driver, regardless the product series; even with such a field, not having the files indexed properly will bring no result).
    The RealTek (Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Sound) and Intel (Video, Memory Controller, USB...) drivers are easy to find, but the Toshiba-specific drivers, as well as the Toshiba applications, are a little trickyer to get. Those are the ones I'm interested in.
