Issues with Windows 8 (bootcamp) and microphone

I'm slightly confused as to where to ask this (apple forums or microsoft forums) I recently dual booted OS X 10.9.2 & Windows 8. I installed all the necessary drivers which apple gave me in their drivers for windows, however, my headset doesn't work... the headphone part works fine. I can hear all windows sounds and it still works on the mac. However, i want windows so that i can play a wider variety of games with my friends, and need a microphone so i can chat to them... Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Dan

There is a Boot Camp forum you can post to. Iclcik Apple Support Communites above then type in Boot Camp in the search field.

    Compatibility issue with windows XP and windows 8.1 for adobe photoshop elements 4.0?comcom

    You are going to have to contact Adobe on this one. We are other users.
    Sounds like it's not even an Apple question? Not sure.
    But the Adobe program changed, nothing changed in iTunes, right?

  • Major Issues with Windows XP and Sound Blaster Audig

    As mentioned in the post title, I'm using a Sound Blaster Audigy 4 card (recently purchased) and am having issues with Windows XP apparently because of it. When the card is physically installed, but the drivers are not, there are no problems. However, when the drivers are installed, Windows XP's "explorer.exe" crashes on boot, locking up the start menu and any other open windows. Now, I can manually end the explorer.exe application and then reboot it, and things will work... however, I cannot imagine that that is the intended functionality of this card. Additionally, I suspect the card in the failure of a game (Eve Online) but I would assume the issues are related. I've already narrowed the issue down to the Sound Blaster drivers. I've tried booting with the SB drivers but without the video card drivers, and the problem recurred. Every time I boot with the SB drivers installed, it fails. Without them, things seem to run normally. If it helps, I'm using an Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 processor, with GB of DDR800 RAM. I've installed Windows Service Pack 2 and all the other updates. The video card is a Geforce 7950 GT, with the latest NVidia Forceware (93.7) drivers. I've had this problem with both the Audigy drivers on the CD that came with the card and the newest ones downloaded from this website. My motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3, which includes onboard sound hardware, but I have disabled it at the BIOS level. I can provide dxdiag information or anything like that if necessary. Does anyone have any advice, suggestions, or have you encountered a similar problem?Message Edited by DerekKatz on 2-04-200603:2 AM

    Thanks for the helpful reply Dan
    I ran the file, CTZAPXX.exe, like suggested, and it ran without a problem. It installed the files and even required me to reboot my computer!!
    However, after a computer restart, I am still in the same boat. Codecs are installed, but the location of the device is "unknown". In Device manager, there are no unknown devices; it shows the codecs in the sound tab, but no actual hardware; as if my sound card does not exist.
    I use my computer for music, and my buddy needs me tomorrow night to play some music stored on my computer. I really do appreciate the help I am offered. I do not mean to sound impatient, but I really need this device fixed, or I will have to have him buy me a sound card....

  • Major Sync and software update issue with windows 7 and iphone

    Loved my iPhone 3g and love my 4.0! My only concern is syncing and software updates are sporadic.
    When I first purchased and sync'd my 3g on my laptop, that I had since 2005 w/XP home 64bit, it would constantly (1 out of 5 times) show phone was disconnected and could not sync. Purchased a desktop, 2009 w/Vista 64bit (same issue mentioned continued) then upgraded to windows 7 64bit (same issue mentioned continued).
    Both pc's are authorized and contain the same apps and software. I went through all trouble shooting steps (authorize/deauthorize, phone hard boot, sync w/airplane mode on and/or off, uninstall and or reinstall iTunes, etc...) when both phones would brick after software updates on both pc's.
    The last software update 4.0 and most recent 4.2.1 went well on laptop with XP and no longer shows sync issue. The problem continues on the windows 7 and backup has completed successfully 3 times.
    Long story short, I have to pray the laptop never dies because iTunes, syncing and software updates on XP works now! The problem with software update, backups and syncing persists on windows 7.
    * I was able to apply 4.2.1 software update on XP and then connect to windows 7 to sync and backup successfully. I then disconnected/reconnected iphone to windows 7 and problem happened again, unable to sync phone was disconnected error message.

    I've had my new pc for over a year, never had any probs syncing my iphone (then a 3G but now the big 4!)
    I went to sync updates to Apps and a couple of tunes I had downloaded straight to my phone only to get an error message 'iTunes has stopped working - windows is checking the problem' followed by another messaged telling me there was a problem causing the program not to work correctly. Windows will close the program and notify me if a solution is found'
    Well..... I have NO music on my iPhone and every time I try to sync, the same error messages come up and the bloody program shuts down....

  • Issues with Windows 8 and UML295...?

    This is my first experience using any sort of USB dongle for wireless internet. I'm using a Pantech UML295 with a Lenovo Yoga Convertible Laptop with Windows 8 Professional. Upon inserting the USB dongle into the laptop, it takes a few moments but does eventually connect to the internet. My big thing is that I need to be able to use my Sonicwall Global VPN Client to connect to my corporate network. However, when I launch the application (with the UML295 plugged in) the program never opens. I've also noticed that many other applications either don't open or run extremely slow. Interestingly enough, as soon as I remove the UML295, all "hung" programs magically refresh and open up as normal. The VPN client pops open and attempts to connect (assuming my WiFi signal picks up where the UML295 left off.)
    I attempted the same scenario on a Windows 7 laptop and all worked just fine. It looks to me like it's a Windows 8 compatibility issue with the UML295. Has anyone else been experiencing this? With the UML295 being so new, I have been unsuccessful in finding much information on this topic. Hopefully others will start to have some of the same problems and will begin posting their findings. Working in the IT business, I find this issue to be very frustrating, as I am usually the one that's able to solve these types of problems!

    I think I found a solution to my own problem, in case anyone else runs into this.
    I was able to get it working by launching the Sonicwall Global VPN client BEFORE I plugged in the UML295. It's a very slow connection process but it still connects nonetheless - you just have to be patient with it. After the SW VPN client is enabled, the UML295 will find an IP address and then proceed to authenticate itself on the corporate VPN.
    I hope someone can find this information useful.

  • Issues with Windows firewall and Airport Extreme

    Hi all,
    I'm having some issues with my Airport Extreme and Windows Vista firewall. I've got the most current versions of all the airport express software and firmware. My iTunes can see the remote speakers, and I can access the airport extreme using the apple-supplied admin software, so I know that they are working and on the network.
    However, when I try to stream music through iTunes, the speakers won't connect. (yes, I have the "stream-music" option checked) However, when I disable windows firewall, they work fine. Therefore, the issue seems to be with a specific port that is not open through windows firewall. When I checked the exceptions for windows firewall, all the associated apple software is listed as exceptions. I think that there is one more port open that I do not have.
    Any thoughts?
    thanks.

    AirPlay/AirTunes is based on the ROAP protocol. I would suggest trying the following ports:
    Add TCP 443 for SSL
    Add TCP/UDP 554 for RTSP
    Add TCP 3689 for DAAP
    Add TCP 5000, 6000, and 6001 for ROAP
    Add TCP 5297 for Bonjour
    Add TCP/UDP 5298 for Bonjour
    Add UDP 5353 for Airport discovery
    Add TCP/UDP 7070 for RTSP
    Add TCP 8000-8999 for iTunes radio streams
    Add TCP 42000-42999 for iTunes radio streams

  • Compatability issues with Windows 7 and Ipod Classic initially set-up w/ XP

    When I opened my iTunes account for my iPod Classic 2 years ago, I was using Windows XP and could download from iTunes Store or load my own CDs and then sync to my iPod.  Long story short: That computer crashed. I now use Windows 7 on both my new computers but while I can review the contents of my Classic, itTunes won't play any of the tracks when connected to my computer's USB.  Nor can I sync purchases or downloads.  Incidentally, attempts to review my Ipod in "computer" doesn't consistently show my iPod either.  I continually receive the same message telling me that "iTunes.exe has been set to run in compatibility mode for an older version of Windows.  For best results, turn off compatibility mode for iTunes before opening." I right clicked on iTunes, regarding compatibility, but it informs me that there are no previous versions available to do this.  My warranty for technical or phone support has expired, so I am unable to speak to a representative.  It sounds like other people are having similar problems with the newest version 11.1 of iTunes.  Has anyone worked their way around this?

    Hi anne274,
    I'm sorry to hear about your Dad.
    Since the music was originally ripped from CD, you should be able to put the iPod into disk mode http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363 and transfer the music into your library without loosing anything.

  • Does anyone have issues with Windows 7 and Acrobat 8 Pro

    I am using Windows 7 and Acrobat 8 Professional. I have 3 installs that work great but 1 that keeps getting a flashing box the size of a popup and then the entire machine freezes up and requires a reboot to work at all. The flashing box is so fast, I cannot read and data on it and as no other programs or software will function at the crash, I am not sure how to troubleshoot. I did a repair, no help. I uninstalled and reinstalled but again, no help......Any tips would be appreciated... Thanks all,

    You should be able to move the problem plugin from the plugin folder of Acrobat to a temporary folder and see how it runs. You also did not indicate if it was a 64 bit version of Win7. If the latter, be sure to update Acrobat (should do that anyway). Several folks have been successful with Win7 X32, but I am not sure about X64. Often the updates will fix most of the problems and are even recommended in XP.

  • Sync issues with Windows 7 and Office 2010

    Just got a new computer running Windows 7. Downloaded and installed BB Desktop . When I try to sync with my Bold 9650 via USB cable I get message telling me that I have to have an internet connection to set up sync options. Never saw this message before. Doesn't make sense since I was connected to the internet at that time. I just want to sync and back up my device. Please help.

    Hi richard116,
    The BlackBerry Desktop Software requires a one time connection to the internet when configuring synchronization. Its possible this could be being blocked due to a firewall or anti-virus software. The following article should help you diagnose the cause and then resolve the issue so you can setup synchronization. http://bbry.lv/mfgghx
    Hope this helps.

  • Issue with Windows 7 and Office 2013 on ELITEBOOK840

    Hello,
    I'm having a big issue of blurry text with Office 2013 on windows 7 on my Elitenotebook 840
    All the text looks blurry.
    I've tried all the suggestion already found on the net
    -Disabled Hardware Acceleration
    -Set Cleartype (it does not work with office 2013. changes are not applied to mail or word content, just on the MS menus)
    -Reinstalled video driver
    -Applied some microsoft patches for this issue
    Nothing of this solved.
    I've read around in the web that this could be a problem with the integrated GPU of the notebook
    A friend of mine has a Lenovo with exactly my configuration (even the same screen resolution) and it works just fine.
    On my display the text is so blurry sometimes I can't even read it
    Does anyone have a fix for this problem?
    Thank you and best regards

    Hello Terileaevans,
    To clarify does BlackBerry Link not allow you to select Calendar when configuring for synchronization? Is this option greyed out? And also can you provide the version of BlackBerry Link you have installed?
    I look forward to hearing back from you.
    Thank you.

  • Issues with Windows 8 and Songs Playing

    Hello --
    I recently upgraded to Windows 8 Pro and I didn't have any issues at first. However, I noticed once I synched up my iPod that some of the songs wouldn't play completely on the iPod and now none of the songs on my computer will play on any media player. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?? I'm desperate for a fix.
    Thanks!

    Would that make my MP3 songs not even in play in Windows Media Player? Shouldn't they still play in something else? I also have DoubleTwist and they don't play in that either.

  • Adobe issues With Windows XP and IE 8

    I have Windows XP SP3. I also have IE 8. Anytime I wanted to read a PDF file within IE, it crashes and get Website restore error. I also unistalled Adobe Acrobat Reader 10.1.3 and reinstalled and get the same error message. I also can not download an attached PDF doc. When I click to download it, normally you get the time remaining et al and it shows totally blank.

    I have exact same problem and set-up, except no reader.  Let me know if you find fix, I'll do same.
    Using Acrobat 10.1.3,  Very SLOW download if they do complete.

  • What is the issue with windows 8 and getting my ipod Nano to sync?

    Why am I having difficulty getting my ipod nano 5th gen to sync new songs from my windows 8 laptop?

    First of all, why did you say yes to Nero Back up before researching what it does with files already on the HDD? When I install Nero, the Back Up is the first thing I disable, it is a nagging pain, there are much better backup programs available. There are several file recovery programs out there to recover deleted files, that is, if that is what happened. Also, if you haven't overwritten the files, so you should be able to find them.
