Interactive audio controls

I'm using Captivate 5.5 and creating a quiz to export in SWF/HTM format.
It's a listening-comprehension quiz with fill-in-the-blanks input, and I need to let the user pause, continue, and replay an audio file. I've tried inserting audio in a slide or in the background, but the above functions are not available. I thought of inserting the audio in an interactive object such as a button, but interactive objects seem to be unavailable with quizzes. I'd need multiple buttons, anyway.
Incidentally, when the audio is in the background the answer blanks don't accept input.
I'd appreciate any help with this problem.
Regards,
Dave in Japan

Thanks for the quick and informative reply. Sorry if my topic seemed to contain a lot. I only meant to ask one question (about user controls for audio) and explain what I had tried. I also noted that background audio has the added disadvantage of interfering with input in blanks.
It does seem that I should try custom slides, as you suggest -- or just work in Flash. I'll look at the examples on your site, anyway.
Again, many thanks.
Dave

  • H8-1287 Beats Audio controls do not work in Windows 8.1

    I've upgraded to Windows 8.1 and installed the IDT High-Definition audio driver from HP's website.  The surround sounds seems to be working but the controls do not work to modify the EQ etc.  I've seen the problem has been resolved for Envy laptops but all the links for the software appear to only be for the notebooks and not compatible with my desktop system.  I've downloaded the available software (IDT High-Definition Audio driver) found under my HPE HI-1287 product from HP's support site but the Beats audio control panel doesn't seem to make any sound quality changes.  Hopefully there is a driver somewhere compatible with my desktop system that allows controling the audio properly.  Thanks.

    Hello @KICR,
    I understand that the Beats Audio Console is not adjusting the audio settings on your HP Pavilion HPE h8-1287c Desktop PC running Windows 8.1. According to the HP Pavilion HPE h8-1287c Desktop PC Drivers page there are no Windows 8.1 drivers for your computer. I can only assume that this means your computer is currently using Windows default drivers or Windows 8 drivers and the Beats Audio Console is not able to interact properly with the currently installed driver.
    All I can recommend is that you check back periodically to the drivers page I linked above and see if Windows 8.1 drivers have been created. Other than that your only option at this time would be to use the HP Support document: Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8) to restore your computer back to Windows 8 where the Beats Audio Console has drivers that are compatible.
    I hope this helps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • Lost Beats Audio Control Panel, Windows Experience Index and HP Power Manager on fresh install...

    HP Pavilion m6-1035dx, product B5S06UA#ABA
    Please help! I installed a 240gb SanDisk Extreme SSD and a fresh install of Win 7 home premium 64-bit OEM. I did not reinstall the factory OS and all that goes along with it. I have managed to reinstall all drivers (it seems) but am having the following problems: 1) I have installed IDT HD Audio Driver sp56953 but it does not provide the Beats Audio control panel, any idea how to get it? 2) The Windows Experience Index will not provide a performance evaluation, something in the system is providing it with an error message when it attempts to rate the system and it stops. 3) I have installed HP Power Manager sp57398 and can bring up the control panel but the changes I indicate will not stay applied, when I bring up Power Manager again it show that no selections are made. I knew this fresh install was going to provide headaches, please help if you can. Thanks.

    I suspect this may all be related to a common cause.
    When updating the windows experience index, what is the error message you receive?
    Has the video card driver been installed? It is necessary for the windows experience index to complete.
    Also, ensure the HP Software Framework is installed.  It is under the Software Solutions category.  
    You did a clean install of Windows 7. Has all the software and drivers for Windows 7 from HP been installed? Here is a link should you need it.

  • Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro and Inspire T7700 does not recognize Mic on Audio Control

    Hi folks,
    I decided to hook up my headphone and mic sets to the Audio Control Pod for the first time recently to chat online. I'm not sure if I ever tried this when I bought the Inspire T7700 speaker system, but I cannot seem to get any voice to come through in Windows' Sound Recorder (the headphones work fine). I'm hoping that someone here can help...otherwise, I suppose I'll have to find an alternate solution than using my soundcard system.
    Here are some specs:
    OS: Windows XP SP2 and all current updates
    Soundcard: Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro
    Speakers: Inspire T7700 with Audio Control Pod (contains the headphone and mic jack)
    Here's what I have tried:
    . Updated drivers to: SBAX_WBUP2_LB_2_09_006.exe
    2. Tested headsets and mics out on another one of my computers with a SoundBlaster Li've. They work fine.
    3. Set each audio source with full volume in the Recording Control window as the source while recording in Windows' Sound Recorder (I know some of these aren't right, but I tried them all nonetheless):
    - MIDI Synth
    - Line-In 3
    - Line-In /Mic (this should be the one, I think)
    - S/PDIF-In
    - Auxiliary (this might be the one for the Audio Control Pod)
    - "What U Hear"
    - Line-In 2
    - CD Digital
    - Wave
    4. Installed the Creative software from the official CD to manage the audio and speaker settings. Retested the same as item 3 above within this software. Same results.
    5. Disconnected the external I/O hub (since I am connecting to the Audio Control Pod, which connects to the speaker system and then my sound card). Interestingly, the Line-In /Mic input disappeared. All that I saw for an input (I believe) was Auxiliary. I tried even that as noted in item 3, but nothing.
    Has anyone had any luck in getting a mic from a headphone set to work with the Audio Control Pod for the Inspire T7700 speaker system along with the Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro?
    Thanks in advance for the help!

    Read the FAQ on top of the soundcard forum concerning SPDIF and digital out. The reason is very easy to find out if you read that. In short: the digital out can only send out a PCM stereo signal (which is why you only get FL/FR sound) and an encoded AC-3 signal.

  • Bearts Audio Control Pannel will not open. Get error message cannot find startup file

    Bearts Audio Control Pannel will not open. Get error message cannot find startup file!
    Downloaded and instaled up-date for IDT audio from driver up-date. After installation could no longer oppen Beats Audio Control Pannel.  Looked for download to re-install BEATS Audio but cannot find one.
    Any suggestions.
    Sound works with IDT driver installed.

    Hi,
    Try using Recovery Manager to reinstall the IDT HD Audio Driver ( this will also reinstall the Beats Audio interface ) - the procedure for using recovery manager to reinstall Software and Drivers is detailed in the document on the link below.
    Recovery Manager - Windows 8.
    Recovery Manager - Windows 7
    After the reinstallation has completed, restart the PC.

  • Interactive table control in Adobe forms

    Dear gurus,
      I am trying to create an interactive table control with header. The table control will have 10 rows, and I want the users to be able to enter values into the table.
    I created a new node with cardinality 0...n; and added attributes under it. The I dragged that onto my design view and made duplicate entries of the rows to get 10 rows under the header.
    Now the issues I am having are
    1) The table is not visible in preview Pdf; I tried to save and activate the form, but still appears to be invisible
    2) For some strange reason the table control in adobe forms is not as flexible as the one in webdynpro, where it is easier to bind the fields and send / recieve data from the interface.
    ~thanks and appreciate any comments.

    when your cardinality is 0..n you won't see it in preview mode.. you need to launch it from your dynpro & you will see it.
    Also, if you know you're going to have 10 rows all the time, why not make the cardinality 1...n?
    Nevertheless, I personallly wouldn't create the table in this method.
    I would create the table in Web dynpro, add a column called "SeqNo" or whatever and pre-populate that field with 1 - 10. When you drag/drop your table from your Data View, just rt-click that column and hide it so your users won't see that field.
    You'll have 10 rows displayed to the user each time and you won't worry about having to bind anything since it'll be done automagically.

  • Need help removing Creative Audio Control Panel

    So I've been trying to get the Creative Consol Launcher to work with my soundcard again and found that in my "Programs and Features" list in windows 7 there is one item of Creative labs software that I can not remove. It is called "Creative Audio Control Panel" and when I attempt to uninstall it it tells me "C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallSheild Installation Information\{7E96A7F-AFE3-47-87B-583E37639E8}\SUPPORT.Cab not found."
    Whenever I try to use the Creative Console Launcher it tells me "There are no supported audio device[sic] available. You need to close the application. Click OK to close the application now."? I assume it's trying to launch Creative Audio Control Panel which for some reason or other is no longer present on my system but was never properly uninstalled. Also, great work on that error message - seems like Creative needs more proof readers.
    In other words it seems the file I need in order to uninstall this broken program is missing - any idea what I should do? I've tried seeing if I can reinstall the program but I can't find any setup file for it online - all I can find is "Creative Console Launcher" which seems to intigrate a launcher feature into volpannel, but since it doesn't have the Creative Audio Control Panel to actualy launch it just gives me error messages if I want to get into my EAX settings or mixer or anything like that. If anyone knows how I can uninstall/reinstlal this program (in windows 7) I'ld be very greatful.

    Well I believe I have found a solution to my problem and it is manyfold so here goes.
    First off, Creative Customer Support Americas corresponded with me via e-mail and notified me that there are known issues with all PCI cards and Creative Audio Consol in Windows 7 (which is to say they don't work together at all).
    After getting this info I removed my SB 0790 card and plugged in another one I had handy - it's still a SB X-FI Xtreme Audio but this one is has a PCIe interface and a digital audio in/out jack on the back to boot - this card is manufactured not by Creative but by MSI (licenced I assume) and came with my motherboard (good thing I had it laying around).
    Initialy I had the same issue - even uninstalling everything related to creative and re-installing the hotest newest drivers from the site simply wouldn't resolve the issue. Finaly I downloaded a 3rd party program called CCleaner - a freeware utility that can clean up registry errors and delete items off the program list by force if need be (and it was in this case). I used that to completely eradicate Creative Audio Console and Creative Console Launcher, re-installed the latest drivers and audio pack for the PCIe card, and then even had windows update the driver again after that (the result of which was not a new driver version but it did seem to download and install something - no clue what). After all of that I once again had a functioning version of Creative Audio Consol back on my computer - and now it recognizes that I have a valid card installed and I've got access to all the features I was missing. The interface for Creative Audio Console looks a bit different than it used to (no longer a fake looking stero but instead a fairly plane interface) but whatever it's working and that's what I care about.
    Oddly enough with all those installs it never put Volume Panel or Creative Consol Launcher back on my computer, I wound up having to install those off of the MSI card's driver disk to get easy access to the Creative Audio Panel again (otherwise I'd have to either make a shortcut or go straight into the install directory any time I want to launch it - now though I can launch it right through the Volum Panel).
    One persistant issue still remains: In my recording audio device list I am still missing: "What U Hear" but it has been this way since I installed Windows 7 for the first time in October when it releaed, and I have given up hope on ever seeing What U hear again - If I want to record from my soundcard I have a 3rd party freeware utility called "Virtual Audio Cables" that are a bit clunky but get the job done.
    Conclusion:
    Though it may claim on Creative's support page for the SB0790 (Sound Blaster X-FI Xtreme Audio) soundcard that the latest drivers support Windows 7 it is abundantly clear that this is NOT the case. You will manage to get audio out of it, but almost no other creative aplication is going to work with your card or even detect that a valid working SB card is installed. It seems the only aplication I could get working relyably was the auto updator (which was able to see I had the card installed) and Volume Panel. By the admission of Creative Customer Support America, however Creative Audio Panel will not work, and I have observed that Creative Consol Launcher does not function properly either. Indeed even plowing through the file system you'll find support only for XP and Vista versions of the drivers - there is no Win7 specific driver for either this card or it's PCIe counterpart.
    Also don't expect to have access to the "What U Hear" utility - this goes for the PCIe version of the card as well. As ever, it seems the marketing guys are making claims about the card that can't actualy be backed up, sure it's techincaly illegal, but only if your customers are willing to start a class action lawsuit over a 50 dollar soundcard that sort-of works anyway.
    Issue resolved for now - and I am no longer pulling my hair out in frustration.

  • WoW SB Tap Chat not working, not visible in Creative Audio Control Panel

    I just received one of the new Sound Blaster World of Warcraft Tap Chat foot pedals and so far... it's not been a joy to use
    The problem is that the device does not show up in the Audio Control panel (the creative panel) as a configurable device. I have the WoW wireless headset and it is on and active (otherwise the panel will not display). The Tap Chat is supposed to display on the list of options under Illumination, THX, Game Audio, Key Bindings and then the Tap Chat should be listed.
    I'm running the latest drivers for the WoW headset (1.01.0001). Windows 7 64-bit. The audio control panel lists as version 1.00.05 (in the panel about screen).
    During installation (reinstallation actually trying to fix the problem) the Tap Chat pedal is listed in the registration application, so I know it's installed correctly and IS visible to SOME creative apps (ie the registration app, not very helpful) but not the audio control panel.
    I think it's either 1) the panel is an older version and does not know about the pedal (even though I've updated to the latest) or something else is fishy.
    Help welcome!
    Thanks,

    I've already called your support group. They didn't even know that the product EXISTED. Nor did they have any idea what the problem is.
    It's pretty obvious the problem is due to the device not being detected on 64bit systems (yes, I can see the device on a 32 bit machine).
    So if anyone has Windows 7 64bit they are probably going to be sadly dissapointed with this device.
    Also configuration only works if you have the WoW headset plugged in... which is really odd considering you don't need the headset to use the device once configured (you can use it anywhere without drivers since it is essentially a keyboard with only one key).

  • Lost audio control due to usb speakers

    after connecting a CharWise C5 Laptop Cooling Pad with Speakers (Mukii INC.) I lost control over audio in my macbook pro. and some programs have no sound. the audio Icon is grayed and when I press the audio control buttons on my keyboard I get gray icon with the disabled sign on it.
    I tried going to the preferences and select the internal speakers, it doesn't help.
    also when I connect my headphoes and press the volume control I get the same disabled icon.
    but I can hear sound in several programs like Adobe applications and vlc player. I get no sound at all in quicktime, iTunes doesn't play music and I can't hear sound from internet browsing.
    the Macbook Pro is 3 months old. but I have no time to take it to the store as I need it to work.
    Last time I updated my software through the App Store I got my audio control back after restart, next time I restarted I lost it again...
    I'm using OS X Mountain Lion - updated.
    How do I fix this?
    how do I remove the drivers of the usb speakers?
    please help

    If you're really really stuck you could connect it to the PC via the headphone socket to the line-in socket on the PC, then record the output.

  • Help - Creative WebCam Audio Control disabled

    Hi, Just set up my Creative Live Vouce webcam for Skype use and everything is going well but when I select the WebCam Audio Control to play with the different settings it appears to be disabled. No option is highlighted and I can't select any of the options. Any thoughts?Thanks.

    Yeah, it's very strange - I've been fiddling with it since; basically I get sound more often than not now when I turn it on.
    When I plug in the headphones they always work - the problem seems to be the decoder; it jumps away from the dolby PLII settings to stereo, and obviously coming in through the optical cable there's no stereo...
    Could it be something like a dodgy DIN cable, or is it something more serious?
    It's become less of an issue now - it only cuts out occasionally, which while annoying is bearable.
    Any help would be great.

  • Problem recording from Line-in (Audio Control Pod)... NOT THE TIPICAL OBVIOUS PROBLEM (I think X

    Hi guys!!
    I have a little problem and i have think you could help me...
    I'm trying to connect my electric guitar to my Audigy 2 ZS... My problem is that i connect the AMPLIFIED output of my guitar to Line-In in Audio Control Pod of my T7700 speakers... I Can hear the what i'm playing from my speakers but I can't record anything... I check all the obviuos things, like I have selected Analog Mixer (Line/CD/TAD/...) from Surround Mixer Tab drivers (Rec tab) and in Control Panel of Windows too. What am i doing bad?...
    Thank you for your help!

    May have already been answered, but, hey, what the heck, I've got free time:
    Allow me to clarify. Plug your guitar into the Line-In on your <EM>sound card</EM>. Plugging it into your speakers only uses your speakers as an amp.
    Then, in Creative Recorder select Line-In as the source.
    Speakers, unless they're plugged into the mic jack on your sound card (which they shouldn't be), do not transmit data back to the PC.
    EDIT: Line-in is this thingie (( )) with an arrow pointing inside.Message Edited by ghostrecon09 on 02-22-2005 05:4 AM

  • X220 Smart Audio Control Panel failed to initialize smart audio

    Cannot seem to start Smart Audio control panel get error every time.  Currently running latest driver 8.32.23.2.  Can anybody please help?  I need to access the Smart Audio to control displayport audio settings.  Aside from that the audio seems to work fine.

    Yes, this is what I thought also. But I don't think it does. It has the s-bracket JSP2 connector but it (s-bracket) doesnt work.
     It really doesnt matter now though as you can see I listed it on ebay with my old cpu. I will likely buy me an EPoX 8RDA+. It outperforms the 6570 in performance and has all the bells and whistles.
     MSI has some horrible customer service. However, I must admit you have been very responsive and helpful but, you are not live tech suport.
    I do appreciate it nonetheless.  :D
     I called their support long distance number and was on hold for about 45 minutes, off and on, and the last time I was on hold I put my phone on speakerphone and went in the other room. The guy came back on said, "hello sir? Hel..Click!" I didn't have time to say anything!  I was so pissed I wanted to take my motherboard back right then. He kept having to ask other people questions about my problem. It was just plain rediculous. That is just one of the reasons this motherbaord is on ebay. I about to put my MSI Geforce4 4600 vtd on ebay also because I dont want to have to deal with MSI CS.
    Thank you again, for all your help

  • Creative Audio Control Panel

    I have just installed Windows 7. With an update to my bios, and newest drivers from both Micorosft and my motherboards website. I installed the newest drivers from Creative for my Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio, and installed the Audio Conrol Panel. Every time i try and open the control panel I get this error below. Is anyone else having this issue. Any help would be great. Thanks in advice.
    "The audio device supported by this application is not detected.
    The applicaiton will exit."
    Thanks!!

    ?Thanks for the link.
    The beta Console Launcher has installed without a problem but the Audio Control Panel still isn't appearing in Window 7's Control Panel. The Console Launcher didn't install an Audio Control Panel in the Start Menu though and I thought that the Audio Control Panel was installed with the drivers rather than the Console Launcher (I could be wrong though).

  • Beats audio controls not working

    Using my beats headphones this morning with my MacBook Air and iTunes.  Everything is up to date.  Although today now the audio controls on the cord won't work.  Normally I can pause iTunes or control the volume.  I do this multiple times a day but no go today.
    Is this another 10.10.2 bug?  Illustrator 2014 CC no longer works properly with my external monitor.  I'm getting frustrated with all these bugs.
    Also, in my 'About This Mac' info window, it shows my OS as "135122" instead of "Mac OS X" - I'm sure that's not normal.
    Any thoughts, anyone?

    I did a reboot and repaired permissions, which solved the beats headphones controls not working.
    Still concerned about the Mac OS version display though.  Curious to know if anyone else has that as well.
