Interested in X-Fi Titanium. Can anybody using DDL with Windows 7x64 please test a scenario for me?

I currently have an old DDL card from another brand that's no longer supported and I have a problem with so I'm looking to replace it but I want to make sure the replacement can handle the situation I have a problem with.
The situation is this, when a media player is set to use spdif the computer hangs if anything else uses the sound card.
Under VLC it hangs if a sound is played whilst it is playing the video. ?Under MPC, it is fine once the video is started but MPC itself will hang if it loads up a movie whilst something else is using the card.
Following are step by step instructions to recreate the crash. ?It's a lot to ask but I would be very grateful if anyone is able to confirm this works under Creatives chipset/drivers.
To reproduce this: Download VLC (you don't need to install it, the zip version is fine - just drag and drop the movie into the VLC Window) http://sourceforge.net/projects/vlc/...2.zip/download
Within VLC, go to the tools menu then preferences then audio. Change the output module to win32 (the output module might be different for a Creative card?) and tick use spdif.
Now try playing a 5. video: http://www.demo-world.eu/trailers/re...nnel_check.rar
The download link is pretty well hidden in the middle there but it is there!
Now go here: http://www.chemgapedia.de/vsengine/i...nts/flash.html (site found by googling flash test) and click play on the flash VIDEO test (the second one down?). ?My soundcard will immediately hang the PC at this point - so make sure you've saved your work!!
Thanks!

I got the X-Fi Titanium in the end and it just works.
In fact, it works so well it took me ages to make it work lol. My whole system and media players had a crazy setup to get my old card working that was giving me all sorts of trouble with this new card. When I returned everything to default... 5.1 just works.
This explains the lack of repsonse to my query I guess. ?You guys must have wondered what the hell I was on about considering all you need to do with this is tick DDL for games and leave your media player on default and 5.1 simply works.

  • Can't use iTunes with Windows Vista Home Premium

    I have deleted and reinstalled so many times, so i tried the compatibility settings and set it to work for Windows XP(Service Pack 2) with 256 colours. It works, but it messes up all my colours.
    Help, please.
    (My brother got iTunes working on his Windows Vista Home Premium laptop, but it won't work for the desktop computer.)

    i think the file name quicktime.msi is causing the problem
    also forgot to add that installation stops when the status turns to computing space requirements

  • Can I use Match with windows 7 PC and iPad 2?

    i have windows 7 pc with current iTunes installed. WIth Match, do you stream music to listen or download first and then listen? I'm a little confused how Match works...

    iTunes match stores songs in iCloud. The difference between iTunes match and regular iCloud services is that Match allows you to store music that was not purchased in iTunes, store it in the cloud. If you have a lot of music imported from CD's, I would sign up.

  • I'm using iphoto9.1.3 but now it doesn't seem to work, whenever I try to open it, it just shows loading, but never loads. Can anybody help me with this ?

    I'm using iphoto9.1.3 but now it doesn't seem to work, whenever I try to open it, it just shows loading, but never loads. Can anybody help me with this ?    

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • Can I use iMac's HDD as a second, bootable drive for new PC?

    When I replace an old PC with a new PC, I always keep the old HDD around in case I need to boot into it for some reason. I simply plug it in, select it as the boot drive, and it's sort of like using my old PC again.
    Can I also do this with my iMac's HDD and a new PC? So I could effectively dual boot between my existing Windows OS on my PC's SSD, and OSX using my old iMac's HDD?
    When I do this with two HDDs each using Windows, all the drivers for the new hardware "plug-and-play" the first time I boot with the old HDD, so input and display works. I'm not sure if I'll have the same luxury in this scenario or if I'd need to pre-load new drivers so OSX works with the PC's hardware. My iMac has a AMD (well it was still ATI back in 2009) Radeon HD 4850. I had this same card in an old PC so I would hope the display would still work as well, or worst case scenario I could simultaneously use the iMac HDD with the Radeon 4850 in a PC.
    I have a lot of computers sitting around and I'm moving soon, so I want to consolidate what I can so I don't have to take so much with me when I move. My iMac's display is no good (barely functional, definitely not pretty) so I don't want to keep the big iMac around anymore if I can just keep the little HDD.
    Of course I back up important files and can always read the HDD from a PC, but I'm interested in seeing if I can still use the drive for booting into OSX.
    I'm sure someone's tried to do this before, but my searches turned up with nothing. I'll greatly appreciate any guidance, suggestions, or general thoughts about how I could achieve this. I don't mind getting my hands dirty if a solution exists but isn't simple. Thanks in advance for your input!

    Hi, are you talking about removing the drive from the iMac to use in a PC?
    If your talking about booting the PC into OSX, then google hackintosh.

  • I ordered my Macbook Air with Aperture two years ago. I now have an iMac - can I use that with Aperture in any way?

    I ordered my Macbook Air with Aperture two years ago. I now have an iMac - can I use that with Aperture in any way? I appreciate that it is a different computer but I am now the end user of both devices and I was just wondering if it was possible.
    Thanks,
    Sean

    The answer would be in your software license agreement for Aperture. However if you cannot locate it you can ask in the Aperture forum, the link for that is:
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications/aperture
    However I believe you can have Aperture installed on two machines however only one may be using it at a time.
    On the new iMac launch the Mac App Store - Purchased - look for Aperture and download to your new machine.

  • I installed 5 but now I can't use it with Mac osx - how do I go back to my old version?!

    I was prompted to install Firefox 5 on my Mac. Now when I try to open it says I can't use Firefox with osx. How do I go back to using the previous version - has it been written over? My previous version was fine!

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
    If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

    Go to System Preferences and click Sign Out, select Delete at all the prompts, then sign back in with the changed ID?   (Your iCloud data will disappear from your Mac when you sign out and choose Delete, but will still be in iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account your data will reappear on your Mac when you sign back in.)
