Mail sound probs

Still having probs with mail sounds not playing, and I can't customize them.
I replaced the New Mail.aiff sound inside the package contents>resources with a customized New Mail.aiff sound, and even fixed perms. Still won't recognize it....

This thread may help you resolve your problem.
Even though the thread relates to "mail sent", you can use the same approach for "mail sent". Just access the file that says "New Mail.aiff". There are 2 posts to follow - the first by Hervey, the second by Gina Prine (her 2nd post). Read both before trying this change, as Gina interjects a step missed by Hervey.
As a precaution, I suggest you make a copy of the "New Mail.aiff" file - cmd D. If something goes awry, you can delete the original, then remove the word "copy" from the duplicated file. If you have to resort to this step, remember to quit the Mail program first. Good luck.

Soundblaster Live! 24-bit No Sound Prob

I installed this sound card on my windows xp sp2 comp and it worked fine, I went to install the same soundblaster li've! 24-bit card on my windows 2000 sp4 comp and installation went fine. My problem is I get no sound what so ever on my windows 2000 comp and my windows xp comp did, I tried plugging in different speakers, headphones, and any other audio devices I could find that I know worked(tested on numerous things besides my windows 2000 comp) and nothing works. Driver version is 5.2..34, which came directly off the CD from the retail box that I purchase. I could not find any new drivers for this sound card off Creative's website, so I figure there wasn't any new releases. My sound panel has all my volume controls at 00%, the Creative Surround Mixer has all my volume controls set at 00%, and I know for a fact I have everything plugged in correct(Audio output device plugged into green, mic plugged into blue, nothing in orange or black). Any help would be much appreciated,
Thanks.
EDIT: System specs are;
AMD Athlon XP 2200+, 768mb RAM, Radeon 9600xt, FIC motherboard.

Seventhwind,
Did you check Speaker Settings application and ensure that the Digital Output Only option has not been enabled.
Also disable any onboard audio from the BIOS if any.

Nomad jukebox zen nx 30gb sound prob

please help! when i transfer my mp3's from my pc to my zen nx the tracks play but the vocals sound as if your in a swimming pool. this is with the eax in the off position
anybody else had this problem and any suggestions as how to remedy it.

Strange. I wondered if the headphone socket was faulty as you are only getting partial sound. Stupid question, and I'm not sure if you mentioned this before, but have you tried some other headphones?
If this still doesn't help then you need to return it to the store you bought it from, or contact Creative Support.

Muvo tx fm sound prob

i just upgraded my firmware successfully from default to version .9.0... after that, i noticed the sound become too loud even at volume #... it also lost the crispness of the sound (radio and music files)...
i also read that there's no way to revert to the default version... does creative have solution on this?

Why you upgraded the firmware ?
you can't go back now. If you have read the messages here in the forums
you have seen why its very bad to upgrade, for no reson.
sorry....

Audigy 2 NX Directional (backward) Game Sound Prob

Hello.
I recently bought one of the last few Audigy 2 NX's and I like it EXCEPT...
I play a lot of online games (first person shooters) - Counter Strike specifically...
and pretty much until a player is about 5 feet behind me, i cannot hear a thing ... let me elaborate
i can throw a grenade at a pretty average length, then spin around so the nade explodes in a path that is DIRECTLY behind me, and i will not hear it ... though, if i through the same nade the same direction and length, but i am FACING the explosion, the direction and sound is fine - i hear it loud and clear
if i am turned around and someone rushes DIRECTLY in a path behind me, i will not hear ANY footsteps until they are about 8 feet behind me in game, then i start hearing them
obviously this isnt right!!! i obviously cant have 3 / 4 directions in game work fine, but behind me i cant hear anything... does anyone have any opinions about this? ever heard anything about this? what's going on! i have tried and experimented with a lot of different settings in the creative settings
i have tried eax on and off, speaker settings on headphones, 2 speakers, 4, 5., and 7., ... i dont know what else to try
i just bought it a few days ago so i know the drivers are updated ... right?
someone help a MAN IN NEED!
thanks
Jeremy

Well, I am new to high-end sound cards, and I may be misinterpreting the terminology, but the sound card is supposed to be a 24bit/96kHz card.
I am under the impression that one should be able to set the output quality of the card to 24bits of depth and a 96kHz sample rate, despite the speaker setting that one may be using, to decode good quality audio streams (say an audio cd or the dolby digital audio of a dvd movie.) I can currently achieve this only on 2. speaker systems (or when i set the speaker setting of the card to 2.) Otherwise the maximum bit depth/sample rate I can set the card output to is a sample rate of 48kHz and a bit depth of 6bits.
Am I mistaken in thinking that if I am playing a good quality audio stream I should be able to raise the output quality of the card to that which it is advertised and claims to have?
Thnx

Jukebox Zen Xtra sound prob

Hi, I've had my Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra for more than 2 years and have had little problems with it. However, now I cannot get any sound out of the left speaker of any type of speaker/earphones I plug into the audiojack. This is not a speaker/earphone problem, they work with any audio equipment. I can get sound out of both left and right speakers/phones if I plug the jack only 80% into the audiojack. But if I plug the jack all the way into the player, only the right speaker/phone works. Any suggestions as to how to fix this problem?

Hello There,
I am experiencing the exact same problem - "Device not connected, even though I can see the device as a virtual dri've on my XP SP2 PC. I have contacted creative tech support and followed their instructions to the letter with no success.
Creative tech support instructed me to try the following:
MaKe sure that my antivirus software, firewall and spy ware is turned off. Their thinking was that some services are effect the connection between the MP3 device and USB port.</LI>
Also I tried booting my XP PC in safe mode, ensuring the most of the services were turned off .. i.e. firewall, virus protection, etc. Still can not get the device to connect.</LI>
align=center>The Error message on the Device itself (Zen Xtra display) reads as follows:Firmware error on reboot -- error message simply states "firmware problem" then goes to Rescue Mode v.3 - Boot v.4, HW v0.0.displays following 4 options: Clean Up2: Format all3: Reload OS4: RebootTried all four options and still getting same error message.
I am going to try and load the original firmware that came with Zen Xtra, if that works I will try to upgrade the firmware to the latest release.
Later tonight I will get a chance to attempt these actions. I will post my results later.

Ah, that'll explain it then
Try this. If it doesn't work, we'll figure something else out.
Under Recorder, try and select Digital In as the Line In.
We'll figure something out, don't worry Even fi it means uninstalling and re-installing the drivers from scratch

Sound Blaster 5.1 surround sound prob

In a nutshell, I have 5. surround sound speakers. The front left and right speakers will not work. Every other speaker on the system is functioning just fine. If I change my audio source from the SB card to SigmaTel audio, ONLY the front right and left speakers and subwoofer function, so I know it's not a speaker malfunction. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!?RunawayJim

U need to go and set to 5. speakers in the Audio Console for the 5. speakers to work.

K7t 266 A Pro 2 RU Sound prob

Hello,
When i use the AC'97 chipset for soundS or music, i 've got a problem, the sound is going out by one speaker only (the second is quite, and not as "heavy" as anothere way( like if there are no "mass").
When i use my sound card (16bits sound card (fortissimo II)), then the sound is stereo and good.
do you know why ? is it a motherboard problem or sthg else ?
p.s:i try why pc speakers and Hifi speaker by a hifi amplifier, same result.

Yeah basically the sound card is done for, I tried various things and no sound was coming out whatsoever - yours sounds like one channel is down, I have come across a lot these cases in various pc's where the onboard sound card has died or is in a state of dying....

K7N2G Sound & Video on XP

I have been woring on this for a while, but can't seem to make any impact on the problem.
first, The audio, Yes I downloaded the realtek drivers, installed them everything ok. 4/6 channel on the test, mediaplayer, and winamp, but I loss it in Half-Life.
I have tried setting eax and A3X. neither make an effect.
second, The video I have run many different tweak programs, and tried many different setting and I still can't get more that 60 fps in Half-Life. Now normal I wouldn't think that to be to much of a problem other than a week ago this system was Windows 98, with all hardware the same, The Half-Life directory was a copy from the 98 install. On 98 I got constant 99 fps... which is max in Half-Life.
Any Ideas...

Thanks for the tip on the video.
As far as the sound goes, this is a fresh install of xp. On a completely new harddrive (no worries of old files). Now one think I did forget to mention was the fact that I am running the MPC not MPC-2 sound (atleast that is what I think they are called). I do not have the Dolby Digital sound I just have the standard 6point sound. I downloaded all of the drivers that I could find on MSI's site, but not a one would give me the ability to change my speakers from front, and rear. That is when I read about using the realtek AC97 drivers to get the control panel. The control panel gets 6 point sound, media player gets 6 point sound, But I was wrong, Winamp doesn't get 6 point, just front 2.

Soundblaster live platinum 5.1 sound prob

I have Soundblaster li've platinum 5.. I have just formatted and restored all my software.

I can appreciate sarcasm as much as the next person, but I think you should take a look at the announcement at the top of each board: "These forums are primarily intended for user interaction. Read more."
sloman - it would be strange the driver stops working once you install the driver. Did you check the mixer (when the driver is installed)? You didn't mention which options are set there, but as long as this is all selected it should work. Do the headphones work on the dri've then? Can you record from the input on the back of the card?
