Light popping during certain games with cmss 3d virtual

i have an x-fi extreme music and i can't seem to get rid of some light popping when certain frenquencies are played during games that don't seem to support the cmss 3d virtual feature. I don't get the popping in games like bf2 or call of duty 2 demo, but i get it in games like gta:sa. It stops if i turn this feature off. Is there any way to work around this?Message Edited by soulreaver2662 on 0-02-2005 07:39 AM

In entertainment mode i don't hear popping noises (and in OpenAL games too). But SW sound and positional...

  • Audigy2 cracks during disk access with CMSS enab

    Hi, I've got the problem with sound becoming cracky when I enable CMSS3D and the computers reads from my harddri'ves.
    Without CMSS it is fine, there are no sound disortions at all.
    I've tried disabling APIC (NOT ACPI!) in the BIOS (first installing the "ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) PC" driver
    I've also tried changing the PCI Latency Timer in the BIOS to 64 from 32 which which improved the situation but did not get rid of it.
    The reason I at all bring this up is that I was hoping that the new driver released by Creative would fix this issue but it did not:
    "Creative Sound Blaster Audigy2 and Audigy2 ZS Driver Update .84.55" released 2 May 05
    The other drivers I have are the ones included on the install CD plus these from autoupdate:
    Creative DVD-Audio Player version .00.60
    Creative EAX Console version .00.54
    Creative MediaSource DVD-Audio Player v.00.82
    Creative SoundFont Bank Manager Web Update ver .00.2
    Creative Speaker Settings version .00.56
    Creative Surround Mixer version 3.00.57
    Sound Blaster Audigy 2 and Audigy 2 ZS Driver Update released 29 Jul 04
    The cracking gets worse when I update to the EAX4 drivers released by creative 29 Jul 04 (that is as opposed to running with only the drivers included on the install CD)
    With the EAX4 drivers released 29 Jul 04 the CMSS3D v feature stopped working, only CMSS3D v2 worked. But when I now upgraded to the drivers released 2 May 05 both modes work again...
    This is on a Windows 2000 Pro SP4 /w att updates as of 2005-05-20 installed
    A Epox 8RDA3+ with BIOS 07/29/2004 (latest)
    AMD Mobile 45w Barton 2500+ @ 200x,5mhz (Problem is the same if I run at stock speed also)
    3x 52mb sticks of RAM (the problem is the with only one stick...)
    ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 28mb
    3com server NIC 3C980-TX (the two onboard mobo NIC's are disabled)
    Audigy2 soundcard (onboard mobo sound is disabled)
    2X Maxtor 20GB D740X FDB harddri'ves in RAID- (mirroring) via serial adapters to the onboard Silicon Image RAID controller
    x Maxtor DiamondMax9 PATA 200GB harddri've
    Nexxus NX3000 300w PSU (most silent PSU according to www.silentpcreview.com which is important to me..)
    nVidia Nforce v5.0 drivers without nVidia SW IDE driver (they have given me too much trouble in the past..)
    Silicon Image v.0.0.50 drivers
    ATI Catalyst v5.5 drivers (the version without "Catalyst Control Center" that requires .NET)
    This is a clean install of Win2K, I had the problem before the clean install also.
    As I said I have no problem if I disable the CMSS, then all is well, my speakers are Cambridge Soundsworks DTT3500 5. via digital DIN cable.
    All this is connected to an industrial Riello 6kW UPS to remove any concern of bad power, the system is properly grounded.
    I do not have any strange BIOS settings, I do understand all BIOS settings and have them set to appropriate values.
    My system is properly cooled, Alpha 8045 HSF for the CPU, Zalman ZM-80HP for the GFX card. Two Pabst input fans, then one output and one on the GFX card and one on the PSU.Message Edited by hanzzon on 05-20-2005 09:30 PM

    Boot from an external system disk:
    Format the external disk Mac OS Extended (journaled) running Disk Utility form the Recovery Partition.
    (Boot then hold down Command and R simultaneously).
    Install OS X onto that external disk.
    Boot from that external disk (Boot then hold down Option).
    Using the Finder drag as many folders as you can to the external disk.
    As a last-ditch effort you can use recovery software to recover files the Finder will not copy.

  • Crashing on certain games

    When playing certain games with no other apps open, I'm still getting abrupt closing. "Sea Stars" after I finish, certain songs on "Groove Coaster", and "Early Bird" as soon as I attempt to start a game. Does this sound like something I need to send it in for? I've only had it a few months.

  • Have used Firefox for over a year with no issues now can't access certain games......all else works, and the games can be accessed using Chrome and IE have run malware and still nothing

    So I have used Mozilla for a long time with no problems. All of a sudden I cannot access certain games on facebook. All else works. First uninstalled and reinstalled. Then ran malware program. Still nothing and the games work off IE and Google Chrome. I really like Firefox and would like to be able to go back to it

  • I cannot load facebook with pictures and certain game applications?

    for some reason it won't load the facebook website correctly and no pictures show up and i can't get certain game applications to load anymore either.with the update version of mozilla 3.6

    It is possible that you clicked "Block Images" in the right-click context menu while saving an image.
    See:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
    You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
    * Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
    * Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
    * Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
    * Go to the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
    * Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
    * If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

  • Popping Noise in Game-Mode with X-Fi Platinum and Nforce 5 Mo

    Hello!
    After buying a Nforce5 Motherboard everything worked fine-except the thing that sometimes there is a popping noise in game mode (only game mode!!) till i reboot. I think i can li've with it but it is very annoying to restart the comp one time every day just to remove the popping noise from my ears.
    I have the newest BIOS, drivers and looked if theres an IRQ conflict!
    Thanks!Message Edited by wieland_mail2 on 0-3-200703:5 AM

    Hi coolbreeze,
    As you can see from other forum posts there are users experiencing crackling and popping with the NF 3 and NF 4 chipsets and the X-Fi. There should be no problems but it's better you are aware of a potential problem. I've noticed from your post you're in the America's. Don't you have a seven-day return to dealer clause/law there if I'm not correct?
    Regarding sound quality I'm obviously biased so maybe some other forum users can help you on this.

  • Loud Pop during startup after 10.5.6

    Post 10.5.6 I get a loud pop during the very end of the grey startup screen or right after the time verbose mode goes to a blue screen. Note it only happens when I have my speakers plugged into the headphones jack. I have Harman Kardon SoundSticks II attached. Any one else with external speakers getting this?

    Greetings,
    I have Bose speakers on One Mac, and Altecs on my Mac Pro, in another room - both are at 10.5.6 (combo update) and neither one pops at that point, nor at any other time for that matter.
    It's certainly not a global issue, just an issue for some folks.
    Cheers,

  • How can I disable web/data access during certain hours?

    I have added a feature to my wireless account restricting my daughter's text/data/surfing access during evening hours.  I thought I was pretty clever and assumed she would only have access to her music on her iPhone.  Turns out she can still access all she wants using our home WIFI so my sceme is rendered useless.  Other than confiscating her phone each evening, does anyone know how I can restrict wifi on her phone during certain hours?
    Also, does anyone have a nano?  Thinking she could use that for music and to set her alarm, but I don't think the nano has an alarm function.
    Thanks for your input!

    No way to restrict it during certain hours. You can restrict it always, or never. Parental supervision is one solution. It's a losing battle to try to outwit children. It's better to require trust, with consequences if trust is breached.

  • Certain games cause a sudden shutdown

    Hello everyone. I've had this laptop for a while (A CQ61-410US Notebook), and I've never really had any issues with it and games before. But recently, I've had an odd issue where certain games almost immediately cause my monitor to turn completely black for a few seconds, and then the computer to completely shut down. Usually, I then have to wait a few minutes before I can turn it back on, because if I try to turn it back on right away it usually gets partway through and shuts down again. The games I've found that cause it so far are Team Fortress 2, Touhou games, and Maplestory.
    So far I've tried scanning for and removing malware and removing and reinstalling my video card. I was thinking of removing and reinstalling Direct X, but I have no idea how to actually uninstall that.
    So what all do you people think? Is it a software issue, or some hardware thing, and how should I solve it? I am flat out of ideas as to what to try.

  • I can't play any FB games with Adobe 11. Need 10.3. Where is it?

    I cannot play any FB games with Adobe 11. None load. I need 10.3 where is it?
    ''moderator edited the title of this thread''

    Mine is not blank. I get into FB just fine. I get into (5) of my games just fine on Adobe 11, but any Zynga game, no. No Zynga game will load in Adobe 11, I have to use Adobe 10.3 & then they load just fine. Most everybody I know uses Google Chrome, I cannot. I have tried (4) different browsers, none worked on Adobe 11. Of course, I deleted every browser, so I only had (1) installed at a time. My opinion is that Firefox updates so often that there are so many glitches, they have to. Very few people I know use Firefox. I have a strong Virus etc. I use to block any issues that might pop up.

  • Firefox won't let me play certain games on Pogo WHY?

    Certain games on Pogo will not play. Firefox closes it before it can open . I tried updated the new version of firefox and it wouldn't let me do that either.

    Java security actually changed last year, and I'm surprised Pogo is giving you that message in 2015. Hopefully your connection isn't hacked and diverting you to a malicious site.
    Could you check this reply from March 2014 about that blocked dialog to see whether this helps with the game:

  • Skype Causes Certain Games to Crash

    The past few months, I have been pulling my hair out as to why some of my games have been experiencing Timeout Detection and Recovery issues related to my graphics drivers. I've done a lot of research into this Windows failsafe and I used a couple of tools to see what was going on.
    During this period, I was running Windows 7 x64 Ultimate.
    Each time, the crash occurred on the display driver itself (I changed Windows TDR registy keys to bluescreen on each occurrence).
    At first, I thought it was my graphics card (XFX Radeon HD7970) failing. I had noticed graphical artifacts during gameplay and horizontal lines flickering on my desktop during boot-up and shut down. I sent it out for warranty and the technicians concluded nothing was wrong with it and sent it back to me. In the meantime, I borrowed a friend's spare GTX 560. I performed a complete driver clean-up to remove my old ATI drivers and installed the proper nVidia drivers for the card.
    Again, system crash on the display driver (this time, the nVidia one).
    Today, I performed a fresh installation of Windows 8 Pro. As I was installing my apps again, everything was fine until I installed the desktop version of Skype. As soon as I log into Skype, I get horizontal lines that briefly flicker accross my screen. This happens EVERY time, without exception. Afterwards, Skype itself runs perfectly. I have zero issues with Skype once it's up and running.
    However, after seeing this flickering occur, I decided to try something. I quit Skype and loaded up a game that was prone to TDR errors before (Metro 2033). I cranked its settings to the max and played for about 1.5hrs before quitting the game. I then loaded up Skype, and started the game again. Within 10 minutes, I got my first TDR. Tried it again. This time 5 minutes. Quit Skype once again, and played for another 2 hours without incident.
    This test worked across 5 different games that were known to crash before on my Windows 7 install. After discovering the horizontal line flickers upon booting up Skype on Windows 8, I've since tried all these games with Skype turned off and nary a problem.
    I looked around for issues related to mine, but all I could find were 4 year old posts about people experiencing lag issues in online gaming caused by Skype, or other graphical issues to do with Skype itself. As I experienced, it's far too easy to suspect a hardware or driver issue that's causing game crashes, so I wonder if others are having issues with their games crashing and thinking it's their hardware/drivers.
    The one thing I haven't tried yet is installing an older version of Skype to see if the issue persists. I will try that out tomorrow.
    Wondering if anyone else has been experiencing these issues, and if the Skype PR have anything to comment on it. I should note that all my games ran perfectly until roughly a month or two ago, probably after Skype was updated.

  • Installing windows games with multiple discs

    When I am trying to install a windows PC game with multiple discs, the install starts out ok, then it asks to insert disc #2. I'm using a Mac Mini, booted into Windows XP SP3. Since there is no manual disk eject button like on a PC machine, how can I eject the current disc in the Mini disk drive to be able to insert the next installation disc?

    I guess when you boot into windows the disc eject key on the apple keyboard doesn't work. But, I found a solution! While installing the game and the message screen came up to install the next disc, I hit the apple/cmd key on my apple keyboard and it brought up the WinXP Start menu. I then opened up the My Computer window and right-clicked on the CD drive, clicked on eject and the disc popped out! I inserted the next disc and the install continued automatically.
    I love being able to run Windows on my Mac. It makes using Windows sometimes almost bearable.
