Itunes 7.0.1 skipping problem with audigy soundcard

Hi, I have an audigy se soundcard and running itunes 7.0.1. Whenever the cpu usage spikes (opening applications and loading animations on webpages) and I'm playing music in itunes, the music skips and cracks. I don't think it's issue with soundcard/driver cuz winamp works perfectly fine with no skips. I've tried changing audio pref (tried 8, 16, 24 bit and 32, 44.1 and 48 khz) in quicktime, all of which did't work. I don't want to change the process priority for itunes cuz i have to do it every time. Any ideas? This doesn't happen with onboard audio so it's really weird. I want to be able to use my soundcard. Thanks.

Did you try turning your hardware acceleration setting down? I was having the same problem with the previous version of iTunes and was advised to change my acceleration setting from "full" to "basic". If you want to try this, go to the control panel>sounds and audio devices>audio tab>sound playback advanced button>pull the acceleration lever down two notches from Full to basic. Restart itunes and see if that helps.

I recently downloaded Aperture 3 from itunes. I have a problem with faces.

I recently downloaded Aperture 3 from itunes. I have a problem with Faces.
In Faces Mode when a particular face is selected it is wrongly including, from the 11.5k photos in my Aperture library, people with different names and photos where people have deliberately not been named. This happens every few photos between the correctly named ones and makes Faces virtually unuseable.
I took my 27" imac 2.8 GHz Intel Core i5 to Apple in the Trafford Centre where a patient assistant, Andy spent 2 hours trying to resolve the problem to no avail.
In his attempts, he consolidated my iphoto library into Aperture and even reinstalled Aperture. He confirms I am using the programme properly.
Iphoto Faces works perfectly and is used regularly by family, grandchildren etc,. I want to move away from iIphoto and use just Aperture as it is intended.
Can anybody help.

I have tried all aspects of the troubleshooting basics including the 1st aid section except the rebuild data basis.
The Apple assistant at the shop suggested I contact Apple as he couldn't resolve this issue.
His laptop also suffered a snag I also experience where the left & right hand pointers intermittently stop moving through the photos. I have to come out of Faces and back again for it to resume operating correctly.

Microphone problems with Audigy 2 ZS/win 7 x64

Hello.
I have very common problem with my soundcard audigy 2 ZS on windows 7 x64 with 8gb RAM. A week ago installed win 7 (was xp before) and noticed that my mic is not working. When I turn on microphone in output device i hear crystal clear sound from headphones, as input device it is not working properly. After reboot it don't work, no reaction on any changes. Usually after 5-20 mins I can hear signal from it (even when I'm not doing anything). Still sound quality is terrible, lots of noises and bugs. So I can't use it. After reboot mic not working again.
My microphone is fine, soundcard also worked on XP without problems (almost all A2ZS users have same problem). The latest drivers was installed on clean, fully updated Win 7 Ultimate. Tried danielK pack. Still no results, this is about 2 years old problem with drivers and I want to know any realistic way to solve it. All post on forum are outdated, or don't have any useful info.

Krookut,
Try these suggested steps when cleansweeping and reinstalling. They may help make the reinstall more successful:

Serious problems with Audigy 2

Several Threads here in the Discussion Forums and across the Internet reports that there are crackling/hissing/popping noises with their Audigy 2 and also the X-Fi Sound Cards.
I have the problem since that day they where available in the austrian or german stores, but at that time i thought it was a problem of the motherboard or the internal raid controller on my abit kx7 raid board. At that time i tried the first problem solvings like putting the card in the furthest slot from the agb, dismantle the whole computer and only tried to run with the audigy. I even reinstall a new Windwos Xp and always used the newest drivers and bios upgrades. But there was no solution for my problem. Soon after that i found the first postings across the internet reporting the same problem. Time after time more users came across and speculated about the possible solutions. Its really awesome, the people put much effort in helping each other. I TRIED EVERYTHING, really. I dont know how much time i invested to get rid off this annoying problem, and so other great guys do and as im writing this thread. But nothing works
Hey folks, come on, this cant be true. Not when there are so many people reports the same problem. They are all using different configurations but they all have the same problem: a hissing/crackling/popping sound. We all cannot say whats the real problem, we even can not say if its a problem with the soundcard.
Sure, no one can make a product without failures, but there are so many people reporting the same problem over a serious period of time, that there has to be a reaction from Creative.
I have to say i am very upset, i, or better many, feel to be left alone with a problem which we can't solve.
Please dont let us folks alone and help us to solve the problems we have. We have a right for it, as you have the right to get good money.....

Sorry for my bad grammar and mistakes :-)

My iPhne is 4S, after I downloading the latest OS 5.1 and extracting and verifying, it came to a point on iTunes where it could not at all, activate my iPhone. A message popped up on iTunes saying - "There is a problem with your iPhone"; We're sorry, the iPhone you connected may be damaged and cannot be activated for service. We recommend that you visit your nearest Apple Store for more information. Please kindly suggest me how to do.

Not surprised that you took a paragraph from my post to repost the same issue.
It is a hardware/software fault which you'll have to get the iPhone replaced if you're under warranty.

Major Stopping/Skipping Problem With 30G Photo iPod

Hi all. I'll try to give the short version of my major iPod problems I've been having. It's been going on for a couple months straight now.
The first thing that started happening was, in the middle of playing a song, it would freeze, and then start skipping through of the rest of the tracks on that playlist or album. It would sometimes make a "whirring" sound when going from track to track without playing them. Sometimes, this process would start instead when trying to manually skip from one song to another...it would just start to skip through tracks. It had to be restarted a bunch of times, and none of these problems had been present in the 2 or so years previous I owned it. Eventually, it showed an "unhappy face" and nothing else could be done.
I brought it back to Best Buy, where I bought it, as it was still under warranty for another year. They sent the iPod back to Apple for repairs. The "repaired" iPod was back in my hands in about 3 weeks, and for a week or so worked perfectly. Then, it started having the skipping tracks problem again.
Not long there after, it started having more serious problems. It needed to be resetted very frequently. The skipping of tracks, the first warning sign, became the least of it's problems. It needed to be completely restored. The first time it was restored, it got through about 600-1000 of the 5800 songs on it, then stopped and said the restore failed.
Other times, it showed the dreaded "1418" message. Other times it had messages like these:
Attempting to copy to the disk “Andrew’s iPod” failed. An unknown error occurred (-69).
The iPod “Andrew’s iPod” cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to.
The iPod “Andrew’s iPod” cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found.
Eventually, it synced correctly. But the problems continued, and over the course of two weeks it had to be completely restored about 3 or 4 times, although it would then work again perfectly fine for, like, an hour.
So I took it back in again. This time, Best Buy told me that I would be quickly sent back a "Refurb" unit (a refurbished iPod that someone else had returned, I guess and had then been fixed or what have you.)
After a few days, I got the refurb unit. It's not my old iPod, I could tell just by looking at the front and back. And, for about 2 weeks, it worked absolutely perfectly. It reloaded like a charm, and played completely fine. The battery life seemed a little iffy, but nothing crazy.
Then, yesterday, this iPod that *is not* the same iPod I returned as far as I can tell, is having THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. Yesterday, in the middle of a song that I had played many times before, it froze, stopped, and started skipping songs. It needed to be reset, what else is new. So, I did, and got the "unhappy face" with the address of iPod support once again.
I'm really confused. What is the problem here? When I had my first unit returned, I figured perhaps the problem hadn't been addressed. But this doesn't even appear to be the same unit.
Could there be a problem with iTunes 7.1.1 with my iPod? For what it's worth, I followed the advice found online to try to find corrupted music files, and can't find any. When it had restore problems with the last unit, I checked to see if it was stopping on any particular song, and it was different every time. Even so, I erased those songs just in case.
Also, when it freezes and stops now (and with the old unit, for that matter) it was never the same song. And it was almost always on a song that had already been played many times, perfectly fine, many times before, and recently to boot. I've also played through almost every song through iTunes over the last couple months to check for any obvious problems, and never found any.
With over 5750 songs on my iPod, I don't know how I can possibly know with complete certainty if there's anything with a problem amongst them, although completely erasing my iPod library that until 2 months ago never had a problem is kind of a worst case scenario.
What on earth could be wrong with my iPod? It's currently plugged into an outlet, vacillating between the Apple symbol and the "unhappy face." Anyone have ANY ideas?!?!?

I wondered what a 'photo' iPod was. This forum is for the 5G video. I don't know how long an iPod is supposed to last. I think it is based on use and how roughly it is handled if it is a hard-drive model.
Maybe time for a new machine?

Skipping problem with ipod

I have another problem with my 30G ipod video. It skips certain songs, not entirely, but partway through. For instance, there is a song that it will play for 15 sec, and then skip to the next one. It is always the same songs and it skips at the same point in the song. However, if I scan through the song it will allow me to scan past the point where it would usually skip, and then play the rest of the song fine. There are at least two or three that it does this with, but there are undoubtedly more because I have not listened to nearly all the songs on it yet (I just uploaded them).
I have tried a few things, including restoring the ipod, deleting and reloading the problem songs, and resetting the ipod. The songs in question play with no problem in itunes.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Is the software on your iPod up to date?

Windows 64Bit Itunes Error : "THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE WINDOWS INSTALLER PACKAGE. A PROGRAM REQUIRED FOR THIS INSTALL TO COMPLETE COULD NOT BE RUN CONTACT YOUR SUPPORT PERSONNEL OR PACKAGE VENDOR."

I have a brand new HP laptop windows 64bit that is having issues installing Itunes 10.6.3. Whenever attempting to install, I get the error message : "THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE WINDOWS INSTALLER PACKAGE. A PROGRAM REQUIRED FOR THIS INSTALL TO COMPLETE COULD NOT BE RUN CONTACT YOUR SUPPORT PERSONNEL OR PACKAGE VENDOR." I thought this was an issue with the new version, and attempted to retrieve/install older versions of Itunes and same issue occurs. I have tried other forums and resolution tips from : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3551 and nothing still. It appears that apple installs bonjour and nothing else. I have tried extracting the itunes package and installing the executables seperately, but everytime the error stil arises. I cannot repair the apple software update as it cannot install from the error mentioned above. Looking through the logs, it shows error : 1721, problem with windows installer package.Does anyone have any suggestions on what to try?

There are so many different error and problems peopl are having.
This is a link to mine

I think it has to be something on Apples end.
Hopefully they fix it soon. Ive used a few GB redownloading and Im going crazy
hope this settles you a bit

Problems with Audigy Platinum and Firew

Hi,
I've been running my Soundblaster Audigy Platinum on my Win2k-System for some years and have just encountered some weird problems with the Firewire-Connector. When I connect an external DVD-Burner everything works fine. But when I connected an external harddisc for the first time recently, the system completely flipped and rebootet without any messages. When I connected the dri've via USB it wasn't recognized automatically (what it should have after the manual) but after installing the Drivers on the Disc. Afterwards also the Firewire-connect was possible, the dri've was recognized and appeared in the Explorer. So far so good.
But now, everytime I try to copy files larger than some Megabyte the dri've stops copying and I get an error message. Then the dri've disappears in the explorer. When I connect the dri've to my Laptop (XP Pro System) everything works fine. I already tried to google the problem and found some users with the same problem, unfortunately no answers to their posts. Is there someone who can help me (us)?
By the way, I already tried to re-install the drivers for the audigy...

hi kakarocht, tks for help me.
My mobo is new, i buy all the config recently.
i'm searching in the forum, and found this topic https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=85631.0

sorry for my english again.

Problems with audigy 4 softw

hi ^^
i have a problem with the software of my audigy 4 pro
the programs don?t start because of a strange error:
"Das von dieser Anwendung unterst?tzte Audioger?t wurde nicht gefunden."
in english:
"The audio device supported by this application was not found."
what causes this problem?
what can i do?

An installation error causes this problem which in the first instance is addressed by ensuring that you have disabled the onboard audio. If this does not work in the second instance you will need to uninstall the card as follows:
/ Uninstall software and drivers either, through control panel or the installation CD
2/ Move the card to PCI slot 3 (if not already there)
3/ Manually remove registry entries as follows:
. Delete the files from "\Creative".
2. Delete the following registry node from the registry
(a) HKLM\Software\Creative Tech\Software Installed
(b) HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uni nstall\5CDDF96A- BC34-4D72-9ABA-EFFF0C39977
4/ Reinstal the software and drivers.
In the third instance we wait to see first.
