Is the CMSS headphone upmix EAX depende

In other words, if I play a game on Vista and it offers no OpenAL support is the virtual surround function of CMSS still functional?

As I understand it, CMSS headphone gets positional information about the actual sources of sounds in the game straight from DirectSound3D or OpenAL, assuming the games have hardware accelerated audio. So on games that rely on DirectSound3D, you would probably want to use ALchemy in order to get the best positional audio from CMSS on a Vista system. Otherwise, CMSS will emulate 2 speakers, or 5 speakers, or whatever you have set up. That's how I understand it anyway... seems a pretty confusing topic.
ALchemy ought to work for any such game... just a matter of finding the right settings for the ones that aren't on the list I guess.

27" iMac i7 system noises/hash out of the analog headphone jack.

Anybody have any info on the cause of this noise?? My 27" iMac i7 emits some sort of system noise out of the ANALOG headphone jack when hooked up to external powered speakers or mixing board. I thought it might be be some sort of grounding issue, since it's only when it's hooked into some other POWERED piece of gear, but I've tried everything I can think of to isolate the source and I can't.
These system noises occur only when using the analog headphone jack, and only when hooked up to anything that uses AC power. They are not heard when using headphones directly plugged in the back of the iMac. The only way around the hash is to use the OPTICAL out of the headphone jack (which is clean as a whistle). The noises vary, depending on the activity on the monitor: scrolling anything, selecting an area, moving windows, web pages loading (especially noisy with a lot of Flash content), etc... all have distinct noises. They are the same in both channels and are not affected by the System volume control, even when the System volume is muted. One interesting thing I noticed - when the Sound panel of System Prefs is open, switching back and forth between Output and Input causes the noise to be significantly quieter on Input, then loud again on Output. In a studio environment, it's impossible to edit with these noise constantly in the background. The noises do not affect a recording, only playback.

Sorry, hadn't seen your post on the other thread yet. My reply's there, but basically, hub didn't work for me and the junk is still coming out of the headphone jack with no USB interface at all. I'm thinking it's graphics card related... lots of problems with them. At any rate, I'll be talking to an Apple tech in about half an hour, so maybe I'll get an answer then.

My Fall 2009 system DVI output to our HDTV doesn't include audio. Connecting the Macbook headphone output to the TV's RCA plugs works if TV is in AV (PC) mode, but no picture. DVI to HDMI adapter to TV works fine for picture, but no audio.

My Fall 2009 model Macbook Pro DVI output apparently doesn't include audion. Adapting DVI to HDMI works with new LG TV, but doesn't provide sound. Connecting the Macbook headphone output to the TV's RCA jacks give sound with the TV in AV (PC) mode, but no video. Is there a fix for this? Search for a DVI to HDMI adapter that includes a plug for the headphone jack comes up empty, so far.

DVI has never included audio, sorry.
There is also no DVI->HDMI adapter including a plug for audio; such thing cannot work without quite a bit of electronic extra effort.
Instead of much bla-bla, why don't you tell the exact TV model, and we'll try to come up with a solution?
BTW, no home theater AV receiver present, correct? Sound to come from the TV, correct?

How do I add the external headphones to SystemSetup- Tone?

Inside Systemsetup->Tone I see only one option: integrated sound. I have no other options to select... How do I add the external headphones (supported by the MacBoock) to the selection list?

Hello,
In a Finder Window navigate to your Boot drive->Users->Your User Name, drag the house to the right side of the Dock by Trash.
This is from 10.5.87, but 10.6 should be similar enough...

Hi Liz,
Sorry to hear you are having a similar problem. Last night I went to the tool bar at the top of iphoto, clicked on "File", then clicked "Browse Backups" in the drop down menu.    I have an external hard drive that is set up to Time Machine.   The Browse Backups opened the iphoto pages in the Time Machine. I selected a date one day ahead of the day I performed the now infamous update, and it showed my iphoto library as it had existed that day.   I then clicked "Restore Library" at the bottom right corner of the Time Machine screen.   Roughly 2 hours later my iphoto was back to normal.   When I opened iphoto there was a message saying I need to upgrade my program to be compatible with the new version of iphoto(version 9.2.1). I clicked "Upgrade" and within seconds it had done whatever upgrading it needed to do.
The only glitch in the restoration was that it restored the library as it appeared last week, so I no longer had photos I had imported this past weekend.   I simply went back to the Browse Backups in the drop down menu, when Time Machine opened I selected the page showing my pictures from this weekend and again said to Restore Library.   Roughly 45 minutes later the library was restored including the most recent photos.
I am now a happy camper.
I don't know if any of this will be of help to you because your email says you are having trouble with photos imported after the upgrade was performed.   Have you had any pop up notices when you first open iphoto, that tell you you need an upgrade to be compatible with the new iphoto?     If so have you clicked "upgrade"?
Good luck Liz, if you have Time Machine running as a back up to your library, maybe you wil be able to get help there, by following my instructions above.   Otherwise,   good luck with your investigations.   I'd be interested in hearing how you make out.

Can you get the plan headphones with a remote(like you do when you first buy a smaller gb ipod)? if so how much do they rage and where can you order then?

i've been having a hard time just finding a good/not over 30$ headphones that will go with cause the the headphones i
got are dead and not working no longer and you know parents or anyone these's days that are not willing to go
buy something that isnt rescearched yet! and i even want a good pair but not have to spend 70$ on them and to
know they might stop working in the next month/year or two!!

That's a 3rd gen iPod shuffle, so do not get the new Apple EarPod headphones. Based on posts I've read here, they do not work with the 3rd gen shuffle.
You can still find the old version of the Apple headphones with remote, at online stores like Amazon. They are like the one that came with your shuffle, except they usually have a microphone on the remote nub.
Alternately, you can use something like this adapter with remote controls

and connect ANY headphones.

NO LONGER THE BEST HEADPHONES FOR ZEN TO

<DIV align=center>********** UPDATE **********
<DIV align=center>
I can no longer recommend these earbuds due to poor quality. Mine broke after only a few weeks of moderate use. I handled them gingerly too. The left channel lost all bass and 50% of the volume. In my opinion, this is simply inexcuseable! I returned them and got another pair, but that is besides the point. Now I'll have to listen with my fingers crossed, hoping and praying that this pair dosen't unexpectedly die for no reason. With this kind of poor quality control, I can no longer recommend these. In spite of how great they sound, I'd have to tell you to buy at your own risk!
If you want your Zen Touch to reach its full potential, you need to upgrade your headphones. The included earbuds are OK, but they don't bring out the best in the Zen. The ones I would highly recommend are the Sony MDR-EX7SL. I've never been interested in the in the ear style headphones before. I always assumed that they just couldn't produce sufficient bass because of their small drivers. Boy was I wrong. Unlike conventional over the ear headphones, earbuds don't rely on large size drivers to produce bass. Their bass is achieved through an "air tight seal". That's why these come with three different size silicon ear buds. A tight seal is essential, yet easily achieved with one of the three different sizes included. The sound reproduced by these is astonishing! I have no desire to go back to full size over the ear headphones. The bass is deep, well controlled and tight with no distortion or muddyness. The midrange is airy and transparent. The highs are pristine and velvety smooth. All frequencies are well balanced. These things are so tiny, when you first see them you can't help but be skeptical. One listen and your jaw will drop. If you read any negati've reviews about these babies, the reviewer probably doesn't have the proper fit. They also come in white, which is a perfect match for my Creative Zen Touch 40GB. Run out and buy these now! Trust me. You won't regret it.
One note. If you want to save yourself $0.00, you can get the MDR-EX5SL instead. They use the same exact drivers. The only differences are: they come in black only, they have a single 4 ft. cord instead of a two piece cord, they only come with two different size silicon earbuds (instead of 3) and there is no carrying case included.
<B><FONT color=#92560>Cons:</B> Carrying case could be a little bigger.

I think the 5s are a better value. I'll confess. I bought the 7s because I liked the white.

Since I updated to 5.0.1 on my iPad2 my Apogee One no longer works correctly. I get loud pops and crackles and my monitoring has changed completely. I can no longer monitor through the Ipad headphone socket

On previous ioS Garageband worked perfectly. The crackles now make it impossible to record with an external mic or with the built-in mic on the One. I used to be able to monitor via headphones plugged into the ipad headphone socket. Now when I plug the Apogee one into the iPad camera port I get sound for 1-2 secs and then nothing. The only way I can monitor then is through the Apogee One headaphone connection but it is loud and distorted.

Minor update: I have multiple PC's in my office. This same iPad and other apple devices properly work and sync with their connection to this other computer. Both computers are running the 64bit iTunes and both have Windows 7 64bit OS running on both machines. I tried deactivating firewalls and even deleted the iTunes with a fresh installation with no avail.
Something is keeping my Apple mobile devices (iPods, iPads) from being recognized within iTunes. However, they all are properly recognized by my PC.

How does the Apple Headphones with Remote Replacement Program non-return fee work?

I have a pair of Apple In-Ear Headphones with Remote and Mic that I purchased a year ago. According to the "Apple Headphones with Remote Replacement Program", http://www.apple.com/support/headphones/replacementprogram/, these headphones are also covered in the program. Currently, there are some issues with my headphone's remote, as it is extremely unresponsive. I don't know how Apple determines the headphone's purchase date, but their online service request page accepts my iPhone's serial number. Is there any way that i could ensure that Apple's willing to replace the headphones for free (E.g. mailing my current ones in first) because the non-return fee is basically its retail price. I do not live in the US so I can't go and exchange at an Apple Retail Store. Thanks in advance.

I would just bring them into your local Apple Store/Genius Bar and ask.

How can I refer to the PhotoShop Object library dynamically depend on the release of PhotoShop?

Recently, I make a program, now I face a big program:
I make the program by visual basic and photoshop script , but my client have different release of Photoshop, for example : photoshop 7.0 cs and cs2. I know every release of PhotoShop have ist own Object library, but in visual basic 6.0, I can only refer to one PhotoShop Object library. for example: if I refer to Photoshop 8.0 Object library, if my clients release of Photoshop is 7.0. there will be a error message : Run-time error '429 ( cant create object) Run-time error '430(Class does not support Automation or does not support expected interface), How can I refer to the PhotoShop Object library dynamically depend on the release of PhotoShop?

I've noticed that when wearing headphones the sound is much louder in the right headphone than the left one. This wasn't a problem before. Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a fix if so?

Did you try different headphones!?
If it's sounding the same thing on different headphones then you might have changed the Left-Right balance
Have a look at Settings -> General -> Accessibility
There's a slider for L-R
If it's in the center then the headphone through which you're facing the problem might be damaged, try twisting the headphone wire of the speaker of the headphone (left or right) where you are encountering less volume.
If it's sounding altogether same on all the circumstances, the headphone jack might be damaged. Get your phone to the Apple Store and book an appointment
Try these steps and it will solve your question

How to restrict / filter the results of a VO depending on dynamic value ?

Hello,
Under JDeveloper 11.1.1.3.0 I have some tables / views containing data related to several users.
I have the VO in the Model project to define the queries.
The problem for me is to filter "automatically" the results of these queries depending on the user logged in the application. I have its Userid which is a part of the primary keys of the tables I would like to query.
I made a Search Form based on criteria but if I add the Userid in the criteria it adds the field on the search form, and I don't want this since I know the value and don't want it to be changed.
Where can I do such this stuff ?

After dropping the VO as search form, open the panelFormLayout in the structur window, select the fields you don't want the user to change and either hide them (visible="false") or delete the whole element.

Is there a way to use my iPod Nano to listen to a radio frequency with wireless headphones. It tells me that I have to plug in my headphones to receive the stations and when I do, the wireless headphones don't work!

Is there a way to use my iPod Nano to listen to a radio frequency with wireless headphones. It tells me that I have to plug in my headphones to receive the stations and when I do, the wireless headphones don't work!

No. I'm sorry. But, i think it uses the headphones as an antenna so it has to be plugged in to headphones in order to make it work. but, it burns the battery down so i don't use the radio function that much.
