Issues with SPDIF out Extreme Au

I have yet another issue with my Extreme Audio and Digital I/O, but I found my own work-around so I decided to post it.
I have the Digital I/O module and I just picked up a Z-5500 speaker and wanted to go digital on my HTPC. Nothing reported that I had a SPDIF out (PowerDVD, Nero, VLC). So I reinstalled the drivers (and did not reboot). It worked and all was good until I rebooted, then no more SPDIF out. Nothing I could do would re-able the SPDIF. Reinstalled the drivers (and didn't reboot). SPDIF working again. Hmmm, this is going to be a PITA.
Lightning Strikes!
I figured out that if I disable, then re-enable the card in Device Manager all is well (until I reboot). This is a 24/7 HTPC, so this isn't a major problem for me.

I have the Express configured now as ‘extend a wireless network’. Is this correct, or should it be ‘join a wireless network’ ? It presently shows the router mode as Off (bridge mode).
Router mode "off" is correct but "extend a wireless network" and the dotted line indicate that it is "wirelessly extending" your Extreme's network which is not what you intend.
If an Express detects a viable Internet connection from its WAN port, AirPort Utility should propose that connection. Since it did not, verify the Ethernet cable is intact by connecting a wired Mac or other device to it, ensuring its wireless is temporarily turned off to avoid confusion. When you are satisfied that the Ethernet connections are correct, reprogram the Express. Usually it is best to start with another "hard reset". AirPort Utility should configure it the way you propose. If an Express is already configured to connect wirelessly, it's difficult to convince it otherwise without a "hard reset".
It is possible that the complexity of your wired network could introduce an element of uncertainty. The noises you describe are unusual. An Express's internal power supply might make a barely detectable whine but an Extreme's power supply is separate and I can't think of anything within an Extreme that should make a noise that you describe.
Check each connection point and cable for connection integrity. If in doubt, check each connection point with an Ethernet cable known to be good, and a device capable of verifying its connection. If it's not a portable Mac, try the Xbox or similar device. An Ethernet network test appliance is another option. Cat 6 problems are usually found at connections, and they are not very forgiving of improper work.
There is nothing wrong with routing Ethernet cable alongside metal ductwork, as long as it's not within it.

  • Issue with filling out form fields in Safari?

    Hello,
    Has anyone noticed any issues with filling out form fields (specifically text boxes) in Safari 6.0.2 on Mac OS 10.8.2?  When I attempt to test forms I've created, there is a delay when typing values into text boxes.  Other types of input controls (check boxes, drop down lists, etc.) appear to work fine.  As far as I can tell, this only occurs with Safari 6.0.2 in Mac OS 10.8.2.  Prior versions of Safari do not have this issue, nor does Firefox in the same OS environment.  When I refresh the form, the delay is not as noticeable.  I'm searching the WebKit bug reports as well, but nothing seems to point to this issue.  Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

    From the menu bar, select

  • Has anyone had issues with the airport extreme 802.11 connecting with a linksys SPA941 phone?

    Got the new AirPort Extreme.  Trying to connect my Linksys SPA941 phone to it.  Mute button flashes so call receiver cannot hear me.  Tested wires..All good. Changed modem..All good.  Had same issue with Linksys router EA4500 i just traded in.  Hoped to fix the issue with Airport.  Same issue is occuring.

    One more thing.  I was using the Linksys WRT54G2 router before.  Did not have any issues.  It was going bad on me.

  • Reader x printing issue with grayed out collate

    Since we have deployed Reader X we have had issues with bulk printing of the same document.  The option to collate is grayed out.  If you want to print 50 copies of a pdf then you type the number in the field the collate is grayed out.  There is a work around that you then click the up or down arrow and this makes collate available but you should not have to do this.
    When is the new service pack/ fix available?

    I have checked all of the typical page setting and I am still having the
    same problem.  I first started having the problem with my network printer when I upgraded to a Windows
    7 (64 bit) but was using Reader 9. I upgraded the Reader hoping to eliminate the problem.
    There are also times when the pdf won't print at all and I get an error message OFFENDING COMMAND: pscript_WinNT_compa.
    I print a lot of pdfs so this is very frustrating.

  • Help with spdif out

    i have a home theater system setup, goes from the spdif out on front of my A.2zs platinum card to the coax in on my receiver, and it worked great for about half an hour, then the music i was playing started to get a funny sound in intervals, like it was dropping out, fading in and out, could this be interference?

    sorry, don't have dvd player installed, but, i downloaded AC3 trailers and still no succes.
    something to add, the MSI SOUND MANAGER that came with the driver also doesn't produce 5.1, i've selected digital output and 6 channel coax and when i turned the speaker test on, surround speakers didn't made any sound, only the 2 front speakers.
    what do u think about this ?

  • [K8NGM2-FID] Issue with TV-Out quality

    Hi!
    After purchasing this motherboard that replaced a broken P4 Asus board and a GeForce 5200 AGP with TV-Out I realized the quality of the TV-Out included is not that good. Meaning I see some diagonal lines like an interference but I can't pinpoint from where it cames.
    Do people using this board have this issue? I'm using the SVHS connector with a quality cable that never brought me problems with the other card. I have an Audigy PCI sound card and a 3com 3c905b ethernet PCI card (both present in the other hardware). The rest of my configuration is in the signature and I'm using last nVidia drivers (official). Tried both PAL-N (Argentina) and NTSC.
    Something like this but much more subtle (more space between lines, lines being thinner and in the other direction: upper left to lower right):
    It's becoming really annoying. :(

    Thanks for all the answer, they drove me to analyze other things and made me realize something. :P
    Built2Last, tested with those settings before and tried again now but nothing changes because of them. Giving more memory (128Mb) doesn't change TV-Out quality and setting a default mode neither. The Trap more funnily says it doesn't work with OnBoard chip despite seeming like it was for that by just the name. :P
    Don't know what you thought it would be useful for me in that manual. It has lots of things... most I knew (only a couple I learned now so the time wasn't completely lost) but none helped with SVHS (no HDTV) quality. :(
    Anyway thanks for the link.
    vernonion, yes I knew such thread. Wonderful one and I read it fully before buying this one. Guess why I ended with this and not with another board? :P
    Well, now to explain what I realized. It seems that after closing the case and moving it to the final location the TV connector cable (inside the computer) displaced itself and was placed over the 3com 3c905b network card I have in one of the PCI slots.
    So, my advise to anyone finding this thread and having a similar problem: try to bend it in a way it doesn't "touch" any PCI card that can add interference to the signal. It seems the cable doesn't have a strong insulation or that the cards make a lot of interference it can be stopped only by an insulation and so the cable shouldn't be near them.

  • Speed issue with WDS, Airport Extreme, and Airport Express 802.11n

    I have a Airport network set up using WDS and two airport base stations: an Airport Extreme 802.11n, and an Airport Express 802.11n. The Extreme is configured to be WDS main and is connected to my cable modem and other computers, while the express is WDS relay and acts as a switch.
    I don't actually have any wireless clients connecting to the express. I'm using it to connect a mac with no airport card to the network by plugging it into the ethernet port on the express. For the most part, it works, and the mac gets a network address and can access the network. However, the connection speed from the Express to the Extreme seems slower than it should be.
    Since both are 802.11n, and the Mac is plugged into the Express's 10/100 ethernet port, I figure the theoretical top speed that the Mac should be able to communicate with another device plugged into the Extreme is at around the same speeds as 100 mbps ethernet, since the 100 mbps ethernet connection should be the bottleneck in this case. In reality, the speeds are much slower: when I transfer files between a machine connected to the extreme (via ethernet) and my mac, the speed tops out at about 2 megabytes a second, if that.
    I looked in the Airport Extreme's logs, and it indicates that the Express is only connected at 54 mbps, as though it were a 802.11g Express. I have no idea why this is! Also, the only wireless communication is between the Extreme and the Express, so one wireless device acting as a relay for another (and thus cutting the throughput in half) shouldn't be an issue.
    Does anyone know why the speeds are so slow, and if there's anything I can do to improve them?

    Hello Brian Kendall. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    I looked in the Airport Extreme's logs, and it indicates that the Express is only connected at 54 mbps, as though it were a 802.11g Express. I have no idea why this is!
    That is because you established a WDS which only runs in 802.11g. Since you have two 802.11n base station, you would want to take advantage of the "Extend a network" feature available with these base stations.
    Here's a typical setup:
    o If practical, place the base stations in near proximity to each other during the setup phase. Once done, move them to their desired locations.
    o Open AirPort Utility and select the base station that will connect to the Internet.
    o Choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open the configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
    o Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then click Wireless.
    o Choose “Create a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then select the “Allow this network to be extended” checkbox.
    o Next, select the base station that will extend this network, and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open its configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
    o Choose “Extend a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then choose the network you want to extend from the Network Name pop-up menu.
    o Enter the base station network and base station password is necessary.
    o Click Update to update the base station with new network settings.

  • Issue with new Airport Extreme Base Station 802.11ac

    I just purchased an AEBS (new model with 802.11ac).  I'm using it with Comcast internet service using a Motorola Surfboard SB6121.
    I have a very odd and frustrating issue.  The internet simply blips in and out.  I have it set up with WiFi and have connected devices such as my iPhone, iPad, Mac Pro, and a Chromebook to it.  I have the issue on all devices so I know it's not device specific.
    The network itself never goes away.  When I look at the WiFi area on my Mac even when the internet isn't working it shows it's connected to the WiFi network.  Also, when the internet is not working the green light is on and staying lit (not blinking) on the AEBS so it appears the WiFi Network part of it works fine.
    As mentioned it's the internet service itself that blips in and out.  What I mean by this is it may come on for 40 secs, go off for 20 secs, back on again, and off, just like that. I have not timed it and that would be hard but it seems to be very regular, something like 40 on, 20 off, and it may not even vary at all.  It's a very bizarre issue.  I have also direct connected the modem via ethernet to my Mac Pro. I used it for several problems with no problem so I know it's not the modem.
    The only thing I can think of is I received a defective AEBS.  I purchased it through Amazon and I almost contacted them to do a replacement and send this one back.  Yet I'm hoping it's something simple with the settings.  Now I have already done a factory reset of the AEBS and that did not help.  Yet I'm hoping it's simply a setting that I need to modify or wipe out.  Any idea of what's causing this or is it simply a defective base station?
    Thanks for your help.

    There is a bug with the modem where the ethernet is not syncing properly.. The bug is particularly bad with SB6121 and SB6141.. so you got it right.. welcome to the bug farm..
    https://discussions.apple.com/search?q=sb6121
    https://discussions.apple.com/search?q=sb6141
    There is no solution.. a new one could do the same. It is not 100% consistent.. I have recommended people use a small 10/100 switch between the modem and the AEBS.. or use a cross over cable. It works for some but not everyone.
    Some modems seem to work better.. but IMHO it is not your problem it is apple's.. and they are keeping quiet as they do.
    Send the AEBS back either for replacement.. and hope for a better one.. or just get a refund and buy something better.. eg Netgear R7000 or Asus RT-AC68U.

  • Performance issue with using out parameter sys_refcursor

    Hello,
    I'm using Oracle 10g, with ODP.Net in a C# application.
    I'm using about 10 stored procedures, each having one out parameter of sys_refcursor type. when I use one function in C# and call these 10 sp's, it takes about 78ms to excute the function.
    Now to improve the performance, I created one SP with 10 output parameters of sys_refcursor type. and i just call this one sp. the time taken has increased , not it takes abt 95ms.
    is this the right approach or how can we improve the performance by using sys_refcursor.
    please suggest, it is urgent, i'm stuck up with this issue.
    thanks
    shruti

    With 78ms and 95ms are you talking about milliseconds or minutes? If it's milliseconds then what's the problem and does it really matter if there is a difference of 17 milliseconds as that could just be caused by network traffic or something. If you're talking minutes, then we would need more information about what you are attempting to do, what tables and processing is going on, what indexes you have etc.

  • Is there an issue with sending out invites today?

    I have been trying to add a new seat for an individual Illustrator license and sent out three invites and none of them has come through. Its been a few hours since the first one went out. I verified the email address and checked the junk mail folder but nothing it showing up. I revoked the original request and resent with the same results. Any issues that Adobe is aware of? 

    Hi Dave,
    I went ahead and gave Vincent one of the reserved licenses I mentioned due to timing. That invite went fine. I'm still unclear why we can't sucessfully add a new seat and have these invites go out. We will have more request coming soon and I'd like to know what we need to do.
    Here are the steps I perfrom when adding a new seat for a new team member:
    -As a plan administrator, log into the Console
    -Under manage your team, Scroll to the bottom and click on the Add a Seat button
    -A new Invite User feild is generated and I select the app from the drop down menu.
    -I add the new users email address and click on Invite User button
    -A popup asked for the users frist and last name and I can also add a personal message.
    -Click Send.
    At this point I would expect the user to get the email with in a few minutes and at the same time an email is sent to CDW and a Invoice is generated for payment.
    Thisis what we have understood as the proper way to add new seats. Does this sound correct to you? Or are we doing something incorrectly? I also still wonder if the license we have not distributed to staff is some how related to the invite not sending.

  • Audigy 2 problems with spdif out not working and cracking appear

    Hello everyone,
    I am new in this forum but after searching through it i decided to post as i din't find a problem exactly similar to mine.
    I have a Creative audigy 2 ZS plugged on my computer with this configuration : Gygabyte P35 DS3, Quad core Q6600, Kingston 2 gb.
    From the beginning of my purchase i did not have any problem of cracking or connection problems in spdif with digital din in either XP or Vista. Last week end i decided to re install XP after a virus infection with XP SWEET wich install directly the drivers of my peripherals like the audigy.
    The audigy is connected to my speakers : Creative? 5. kit 5700 via the digital din connection and without any analog connection as i selected digital out only in my settings.
    Everything was working fine until 2 days ago when? while watching a divx the sound stopped working. i checked everything in m connection and everything was good as well as my speakers. finally i connected the audigy via analog cables to the speakers to find that, if i select digital out only no sound could be heard and finally that poping and cracking sounds started to appear.
    I don't know what happened with my system as it never did that before in any of my configurations.
    When i reboot my computer, the digital out start working again to finally stop 5 minutes later.
    If somebody can help me is help would be most welcome.
    Thank you!

    Well, I do not know much about the red light thingy, but if the S-Bracket works well, it should be not problem, unless you can't get anything from the S-Bracket.

  • Speed issue with the AirPort Extreme (802.11n)

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help out with this.
    I am the Design Manager and IT Director at a publishing company where we have just upgraded to an AirPort Extreme (802.11n) base station to drive our network. We went this route as all of our machines are Mac Minis with built-in Airport and we were in a situation where re-doing a hardwire on the building was not going to be a possibility due to budget costs.
    Our new configuration seems to be running very well and has the following devices connected to the AirPort Extreme:
    Linksys Firewall Router (which was used on our old system and was requested by corporate to stay in the lineup to keep the static IP addresses we've already defined for our printers, VPN, etc. intact). The configuration on this part is modem to Linksys router to uplink port on the Airport).
    New Panther, Intel based Xserve connected to the Airport's Ethernet port 1.
    A 4 port ethernet switch connected to the Airport's Ethernet port 2 which drives four of our HP LaserJet printers.
    Ethernet port 3 is not occupied.
    All of the ethernet cords connecting our equipment are brand new.
    For the most part, everything's been running blazing fast with a remarkable speed increase over our old hardwired setup. However, I've received a few complaints about slow speeds when dragging and dropping and working with files that are stored on our Xserve - we get alot of the "spinning wheel" and the transmission speeds seem very slow.
    At present, we have several category 6 ethernet cords on backorder. I was planning on using one to take advantage of the gigabit ethernet capabilities between the Airport and the Xserve (as these are the only two elements of the network that support gigabit ethernet, besides the majority of our Mac Minis. Printers and cable modem are only 10-100 capable, so those will stand as is).
    Can anyone tell me if the gigabit ethernet cord will be the solution to this one slow aspect of the new network? Any other settings I could apply to possibly speed up the transmission time when moving files to and from our server? Good news is that every workstation in the house is getting a full 4 bars.
    Many thanks!

    PS, just wanted to point out that we are also running in bridge mode.
    Thanks!
