I'm really, really bad with speakers. (Polk Audio T15 Setup)

So I bought these speakers and don't even know what the first step is. What cords/home theater setup do I need? I'm connecting it to a sony google TV.

Sony - 945W 7.1-Ch. 3D Pass-Through A/V Home Theater Receiver

First, you'll need to buy an A/V Receiver to hook/power the speakers with. Some speaker wire as well to hook them up. Personally, I'd recommend a center channel speaker to go with the setup, too. And then you'll just need an HDMI cable to run from the A/V receiver to the television.

Need help with GUI Scripting Audio Midi Setup

I want to read the value of the sampling frequency set by default in Audio Midi Setup.
If there is an easy unix way to gleen this, please let me know. Otherwise, I am trying to get it via GUI scripting. I think I am almost there, but am doing something stupid.
Here is what I have:
tell application "Audio MIDI Setup"
activate
end tell
tell application "System Events"
activate
tell application process "Audio MIDI Setup"
select window 1
select group
select tab group
select group
select combo box
set FrequencyValue to contents of combo box
end tell
end tell
Basically, this comes down to the question of how to extract the default text field from the combo box.

Once you click on the combo box to get the list of items, you can do stuff with the results. The easiest thing would probably be to use the up and down arrows to change the selection, since the text field is not editable. You can compare the list of items with the current value and do something from there - how do you plan to choose the item to change to?
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: normal;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #DAFFB6;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
tell application "Audio MIDI Setup" to activate
tell application "System Events" to tell application process "Audio MIDI Setup"
set comboBox to combo box 1 of group 1 of tab group 1 of group 1 of window "Audio Devices"
set frequencyValue to value of comboBox -- get current value
click button 1 of comboBox -- perform action "AXPress" to drop the list
set theChoices to value of text fields of list 1 of scroll area 1 of comboBox -- get all the values
-- keystroke (ASCII character 31) -- down arrow
-- keystroke (ASCII character 30) -- up arrow
-- keystroke return -- select and dismiss the list
end tell
activate me
choose from list theChoices default items {frequencyValue} -- just show the results
</pre>

Help with NAS (Network Audio System) setup.

Anyone having any ideas how to set up this? I couldn't find any documentation, no howtos, no help, just an obscure nasd.con.eg in the package.
Has anyone managed to set up a client and a server for this system, it'd be really useful to me...

Idd, seeking is hard and really hacky (:D) to implement with the two process solution. :\ You can use the
extern-movie.sh 10.0.0.4 movie.mkv 124
to seek where you want in the files, but you'd have to exit the script, then restart the script in the middle of a movie ... :\ Writing a plugin for MPlayer might kinda defeat the simplistic design of rsound. Shouldn't be hard to implement though. I made an rsound client in python in like 5 mins, so shouldn't be too hard.
As for NAS: http://linux.die.net/man/1/nasd this helped a little, but it really looks like legacy software. "When the Network Audio System server starts up, it takes over /dev/audio."
I've been trying to get nas up and running, and it wasn't hard to get it to play some stuff with mplayer, but it feels quite broken using the default config + mplayer. Might be my alsa emulation of course, but mplayer showed hickups, erratic framerate (-autosync 100 helped against this), bad sound quality, and a couple of crashes.
You could try this from the command line. Shouldn't need to set-up any config file yet.
sudo nasd -aa
And running this in another shell:
mplayer <movie> -ao nas
Try it locally, not sure how to set up nas to connect to extern servers. :\

Problems with slow fps (or is my computer really that bad?) [solved]

I'm having quite some trouble with my fps in games like StarCraft 2 (actually it's just here that I noticed it). Anyway I've decided to test how good my computer actually is using unigine heaven benchmark.
And it's really bad. As I said I have slow fps in Starcraft in which fps is around 15, but in unigine it falls to average 4/5 depending on how I set it.
While my computer is quite old, it's still not that old, and I don't have any problem with other graphically demanding games like C&C3 or Medieval 2: Total War.
My hardware is:
System: Linux 2.6.36-ck x86_64
CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4400+ 2310MHz MMX+ 3DNow!+ SSE SSE2 SSE3 HTT
GPU: GeForce 8500 GT PCI Express 260.19.12
System memory: 2008 Mb
Video memory: 512 Mb
(this is what unigine "shows")
Also under "render" unigine shows this:

Which, while I'm no expert, for me seems quite OK.
So where's the problem?
Is my computer really that old already?
On the related note, sometimes KDE loses the window decoration or even more it just disappear. So it might be the nvidia driver (as you can see I use nvidia-beta).
But I'm not sure if it's the driver or is it the graphics card.
Thanks for any help. If nothing else you could at least tell your frame rate and hardware so I can compare if my computer is "where it supposed to be" or if something really is wrong with it.

Well I finally found the glxgears, and the fear I always feared, but didn't mentioned it in my OP came true. FPS is somewhere near the refresh rate of the monitor, and my monitor is also a TV (or should I say primary TV) so my refresh rate is 50hz or up to 60FPS. So I guess the actual and the biggest bottleneck is my monitor and not anything else. Well yeah not that my other hardware is any good, but I could say that the low FPS rate in StarCraft 2 and in Unigine Heaven is due to my bad monitor.
I can say this is solved, but not removed until I get a new monitor.
Edit: Actually there is another thing, how come that while my monitor refresh rate is 60; FPS in both Starcraft and Unigine are so much lover - instead of 60FPS there are from 4-17FPS.

Really having problems with organising documents in pages. For example, deleting pages deletes the whole section and I cannot insert a section break as its greyed out & sending an object to background deletes several pages - what the **** is going on???

Really having problems with organising documents in pages. For example, deleting pages deletes the whole section and I cannot insert a section break as its greyed out & sending an object to background deletes several pages and trying to insert a text box autmatically creates new pages- what the **** is going on??? Is this programme really this badly thought out? I thought everything apple was supposed to be intuitive!?!?!? Help.

You can not insert a section break into a textbox.
You appear to have a lot of objects with wrap set, that once you take them out of the flow of text (by sending them to the background) causes the text to reflow and contract into fewer pages. Pages is almost unique in the way it forms up pages in Word Processing mode only so long as there is text on them.
I suspect you probably have hammered away at returns, spaces and tabs as well to position things, which only works to add to the mess.
Download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf available under the Help menu and swot up a bit on how it works.
You may find this a usueful resource as well:

PS There is quite a lot of programming in OSX that is far from "intuitive". Pages is easy at one level, when using the templates, otherwise it can be quite frustrating.

Is Lion really that bad...?

Hi all,
I'm a...well, you could say extremely recent "convert" to Apple stuff (that is I'm kind of looking at buying a MacBook for my next laptop), and something that I keep reading about is OS X Lion being a serious mess. I've actually used a friend's MacBook with Lion, and it didn't seem to be THAT bad... (I hear some people compare it to Vista!)
My question to you is: Is Lion really as bad as Vista was for PCs? I guess I could wait for Mountain Lion to come out, but I like to stay with systems that have been time-tested already (that is, no bugs-on-release and things like that...stability is an absolute must for me), and I actually do need a laptop ASAP (because doing production work on a netbook is - well - it doesn't happen!).
It should be noted that I am already familiar with OS X and its interface, except not that much with Lion. I've used Snow Leopard and Leopard in the past, but I guess not to the extent where I would really notice something "gone".
What say all of you?

I've had the WiFi issue where if Time Machine was running when it went to sleep it wouldn't reconnect on wake. But that's been fixed and I've had no other problems.
I like Lion and think it's a good step forward, on the whole. I really like the newer multitouch gestures, and Full Screen actually has me using Spaces. I can understand that for some people, who don't have a trackpad, that they might not see a lot of value. But the under the hood improvements are worth it, IMO.
Remember that these forums are specifically for people who have issues, so the people with no problems don't post here.

Contractors really that bad?

My activation date is tomorrow and had a surprising phone call this evening from a BT engineer letting me know what time he will be here tomorrow, also asked what ISP I'm on now and if I'm moving ISP. Also checked I have my HH5 on site. Seems like a chap that likes to be prepared but also sounds like he might be looking to do a quick job.
Although I remain positive after all my previous issues from BT if my engineer turns out to be a contractor then is it really as bad as I read here. I don't see any possible issue with my install as my line (pole to house) is new and only 1 new master socket in office next to my PC. I'm estimated for 63meg so I don't think I'm far from my cab.
Anyways, what's your thoughts? Anything I need to check with the engineer tomorrow to make sure a good job is done?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yeah I have factory reset hub and powered it off and on a few times. Engineer even tried open reach modem with my old hub 4. I don't have any stats other than line state: connected. The speedtest was like a text message he got and showed me on his tablet computer. When he was called the support team they even said 80/20 and passed a whoosh test (I think that's what it's called).
Just had a call from him to see if it's working yet but still no joy. He said he just done another install aprox 3 miles away and they are having same issue.

My iPad has to be really really close to the router for it to have internet. How can I make it so I can go around the house with it?

My iPad has to be really really close to the router for it to have internet. How can I make it so I can go around the house with it? My iPad has been like this for a couple of months, and it has really irritated me. My friend came over and he had to download iTunes for something on the computer. He needed my iPad, he tried it and it wasn't really near the router.

I'd begin by reviewing the following:

I am really in trouble with AP Div-How do I fix it on the web?

Hi,
I am really in trouble with my website. I have added some pictures and text on top of Fireworks Image and have published it on the website.
But the concern is, when I zoom in & zoom out, I can see the previous text on the screen and also the picture and texts I have added using Ap Div tag are scattered moving all to the left when I zoom out. Can someone help me how to fix this in one particular place so that it doesn't move when I zoom in or zoom out!!! I am using Adobe Dreamweaver CS3, if this will help.
Appreciate your sincere help on this.
Thanks in advance.

Frankly, there's a lot that is wrong with that page:
1. Most of your content is in the images - this means that you will get very poor search engine ranking
2. Your extensive use of absolute positioning for layout - this means that when you enlarge the text size in the browser, you will have overflow problems on the page (for example, the terrible problems at the bottom of the page)
3. You have used tables for layout - this is because of your use of Fireworks to create the HTML
Each of these problems is solvable but none of them are solvable easily without a redesign of the page. A web page should be built from the top down, stacking content containers (i.e., <div>, <section>, <article>, <aside>, etc.) vertically or floating them horizontally or both. These containers would be loaded with the text content of the page, and images would be used only for cosmetic appearance. Using CSS to style/locate the content will allow you to completely move away from tables for layout. Most typical pages can be created without the use of absolute positioning which should be used only for special purposes, not for layout of the page elements.

Can you watch really any video with a nokia 9300?

I tried rm formats and the only that works is sound, no video at all...Am I doing something wrong?. Can you watch really any video with the Real Media player on Nokia 9300?.
Any help would be really welcome.

You cannot watch just any type of media file with realplayer on the 9300/9300i/9500 communicators, video files have to be converted to the 3gp format, there are a number of converter software packages on the net - may of which are free. Try also Nokia's own multimedia converter, downloadeable from Nokia, cheers.

Apps downloaded with an Apple ID are forever tied to that Apple ID and will always require it to update.
The only way around this is to delete the apps that require the other Apple ID and download them again with yours.
Or simply log out of iTunes & App stores then log in with updated AppleID.

Really need help with MSI R7970-2PMD3GD5/OC:(

Greetings to all,
I really need help with my brand new MSI R7970-2PMD3GD5/OC. I've purchased it two days ago and I didn't really have time to test the card until yesterday. The card is I think way to hot for my "liking". It idles at 56c-60c, at full load in Heaven benchmark 3.0 in 1920x1080, extreme tessellation and 8xAA card reaches 95c-97c. Stock cloacks are 1010Mhz/1375Mhz and stock voltage is 1,174v. Case is being cooled by two Noctua NF-P12 fans. Also I tried lowering the voltage and "underclocking" the card to a standard 925Mhz in small increments, but it doesn't help at all. Each and every time it results in BSOD and dx dll errors and complete system failures. Replacing the card wouldn't be a problem if I lived in a "normal" country that has access to a steady supply. Retailer that sold me a card told me that only 5 cards total have been imported from the launch day and told me that i bought the "last" card in my country. They could order a replacement but it would take them more then a month to do so.:( Ohhh and one more thing I don't overclock, everything in my case is at their default values.
Recently, I read that "Amd released" a bios update for a standard reference boards that turns them into a "GHZ editions". Also lot of users report a lower voltage requirements and lower temps with that "boost bios". As I understand this card pcb is not Amd's reference board design, I could be wrong it's not that uncommon.. So I didn't want to risk warranty by flashing it to a position 1. Will MSI release the boost bios for this model of card? I am humbly asking MSI staff on how to proceed regarding this problem. I would be immensely grateful for any help you could provide.

what PC case you use exactly?
have you tried to open PC case side door and to retest?
Hi,
it's open case. If i close it the temps get even worse:(
They get better for other components, but not for gpu. Two Noctua NF-P12's are cooling the case, first one is positioned above gpu, left side next to cpu. Other is right beneath the gpu, right side of case. Just under the hdd section of the case. I tested each and every component with my backup card nv 8500gt. They function within the specified parameters. I'm getting somewhat worried.

I REALLY NEED HELP WITH MY CURVE 9300'S WIFI!

HI !
i have a blackberry curve 9300, OS5. I got it secondhand. It worked really great, but the problem started when I've done that thing within the host routing table. Though my wifi is connected, I can't use the internet. whenever I tried the BB browser and any other application (e.g. facebook, opera mini, etc.) i get a message that says 'i am not in an area that supports blah blah...' or 'unable to connect to internet please try again later'. I checked the browser under browser config and it is set to my local network provider. i changed it to hotspot browser, saved it. But whenever I go back it also goes back to my local network provider. i have tried almost EVERY troubleshooting I've read on this forums and in other forums but still no luck. The problem worsened when I did a security wipe on the emails, contacts, etc.
-APN settings are disabled
-default browser set to hotspot browser
-firewall disabled
-data services are on
Everyone said that it has nothing to do with that activation enterprise so I did not configured it after wiping.
I also tried doing a hard reboot (pulling the battery out and waiting for 5 minutes before turning it on) but it will only fix the problem for sometime and it will go back again.
Calling my network provider would just suggest to get a plan when in fact, I was able to use the device's wifi well before without any plan.
I don't want to upgrade my BB to OS6 coz it easily drains the battery of device and I cannot afford doing that because I go out a lot.
I also tried changing my sim card and network provider but wasn't successful.
I also tried deleting the name of my local network provider in the service book under options.
What do you think could be the problem? Any suggestions? I really, really, REALLY, need help.
PLEASE ! THANK YOU VERY MUCH IN ADVANCE!

Hi miochan984,
Welcome to the support community!
A supported data plan from your mobile network provider may actually be required to use the Facebook for BlackBerry smartphones application as well as the browser. I would recommend verifying with them which services they support over a Wi-Fi connection without a data plan.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
