A little help for HDMI sound output.
I have an HP Pavilion HPE Series. Pavilion H8-1214 PC
I bought an HDMI cord several months back, to hook up my TV as a second monitor (like for watching movies) and worked fine for some time up until last night when when I tried to update my drivers (like graphics) since it seemed like on certain sites or games it was slow or unresponsive (like facebook games). Now I can't get the audio to work for my TV (the HDMI output) as you can see in the screen shot I took.
http://puu.sh/9SZOT/ab1c31984d.png
I have tried returning to an older restore point - that helped temporarily until I turned my computer on today and realized I still had that problem. I have tried uninstalling that particular driver and reinstalling it - doesn't help, tried disabling and re-enabling - doesn't help.
The only way it seems to work is when I turn the TV on first and then restart my PC, but that is kind of a hassle since when I want to watch a show or movie I have to restart instead of just turning it on and setting TV as "default device" in "Playback Devices" like I did before.
Is there a way to fix this? Please help. Thanks in advance.Hi,
Install the HP posted AMD graphics driver for your PC. It's not uncommon for HP to use a propriety graphics driver.

Little help finding a Sound setting?
Hi there,
Can anyone tell me where I turn off that really LOUD sound my MacPro makes when i turn it on? It sounds like a triumphant "TA-DAH!!!" horn blast and it kills me first thing in the morning.
If i go to Sys. Prefs and click on Sound, I have the following settings:
1. On the "Sound Effects" tab I have selected many different Alert sounds but this wake-up call never changes.
2. I play alerts and sound fx through "selected output device" which is chosen on the "output" tab.
3. All 3 checkboxes are selected below that. (maybe it's the one that says play alerts. i'll try that next)
4. And on the Output tab I've chosen "line out" which is my desktop/standalone speaker set up. With those turned off, the bugle blow still happens when i turn on my computer.
Thanks for any suggestions!
PedroHi sheik
I did the same settings and I can change the volume of the startup sound with the control „Gesamtlautstärke“ (don't know, what it's called in English) – it's the control on the bottom of the „Sound Effects“ tab

It works on other pc's I have at my residence. So its not the microphone. I checked all the connections and they are correct. I have been to the knowledge base with no luck. I have been through the forums searching and the majority of the forum responses are users helping users with very little input from Creative labs. (disappointed)I have installed/un-installed/re-installed without any luck, the software that came on the cd. I have also retrieved the last software downloads from your web site without any luck.So either I am missing something here, or I got a defecti've sound card.

I assume its an analog connection Creative Insprire P5800 as I don't have anything like a EAX control module that goes in between.

I have 3 wire connection Green Line out (front) Black line out 2 (rear) and Orange line out 3 (center subwoofer) These connect from the back of the sound card directly into the subwoofer. Green (front) black (rear) orange (center subwoofer)
My old sound card RealTek`AC97 worked fine and I had sound in all my speakers. Yes I have removed the old card and un-installed the old drivers for it. Also the mircophone worked with the old sound card so I know thats not an issue. > Sorry for any inconvenience caused. > We'll need this information so that we can provide you with the correct remedy.

Thanks,
Capt.Support have to go over some things first to make sure you've tried them. If it hasn't helped, just mail them back and let them know. It sounds like like you have the settings correct (CMSS, 5. in speaker selection), so there must be something wrong in the installation or configuration of the software.
The CleanBoot troubleshooting page on Microsoft's Kbase might help, although, it sounds like you covered a clean install aswell so that would normally help.
These forums are for user-to-user interaction, rather than Support from Creative. We monitor these forums and reply to some posts, but we can't reply to every topic and offer everyone support (that's what the phone and e-mail support are for).

Unable to record internal audio with RecordMyDesktop
In order to record sound and video from my desktop, I installed RecordMyDesktop (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/RecordMyDesktop) and followed the instructions from post #4 and #6 on a thread about "Recording internal audio with alsa and recordmydesktop" (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 3#p1359593). When I try to record with "recordmydesktop --device looprec", it will not start recording and closes with the following error:
Initial recording window is set to:
X:0 Y:0 Width:1920 Height:1080
Adjusted recording window is set to:

If this information would be helpful, I use alsamixer and "aplay -l" gives the following:

I can record from the microphone with with the command "recordmydesktop". I succeeded in recording the internal audio with audacity by choosing the device "looprec" for recordings. I'm not sure why RecordMyDesktop gives an error while Audacity does not. Below is my ~/.asoundrc, which I copied from the aforementioned thread. I am not knowledgeable, but I guess there is a mistake in it? Would you please assist me solving this error? Thank you for your time.

I try to record a sound but the recorded file is empty...
Hi, I try to record a sound through the mic in, in my computer... but all i get is an empty file! (or better a file of 0 sec...) There must be a little mistake in this VI, but I can't find it, can somebody help me?
The VI is included,
I hope somebody can help
Thanks, Richard

guitaar opnemeenn.vi 469 KBI don't see anyplace in the program where you are actually saving a file to disk. You have the output of SI Read being filtered and graphed and also back out to the sound card, but that's it. The only Snd Write Wave File function is outside the loop and will only write an existing file to a new location.

first of all, let me say i am new to this and completely clueless about recording in general.
i just want to record some guitar and maybe some voice tracks.
i realize i need a lot more equipment and better hardware and software, but i'm not looking for studio quality recordings at this point, just something half way decent i can listen to.
i have no equipment besides my laptop hp g60-120us 2ghz, 4gb ram, and a samson g track usb microphone that i just bought.
could someone please show me how to set up adobe audition and my laptop properly so that i can get the most out of what limited equipment i have.
when i record now, i get a lot of white noise in the background...how would i go about getting rid of the white noise?
do i needs a asio driver?Welcome! I could have a go at this, starting from the bottom:
You do need an ASIO driver to work well with modern soundcards and get realtime playback for overdubs.
The white noise may very well stem from the internal sound circuit or from level mismatch, or both. You should not use the internal sound input for any serious recording; it's not what it's meant for and the quality doesn't stand up.
Samson makes good stuff, and the mic itself is probably fine. You will however run into trouble using it as USB device togheter with another sound device; this is a limitation within the current ASIO technology (see below).
You do need a proper soundcard, like the M-Audio FastTrack
- which is just as a suggestion. There are many products to choose from for little money now. For your use it must have at least one mic input AND a guitar input (often labeled Hi-z or Instrument as well). Typically one input will double as mic / guitar.
Install its driver - typically before you even connect the device! - and then when everything is clear, open Audition and select it as your input/output device. This is described in the Audition manual.
You do need to connect your speakers and/or headphones to this soundcard now. With ASIO you do need to use the same device for both input and output. I am not sure if you can use your Samson USB mic in this setup. If it has an ordinary audio connection, just connect that to the soundcard.
Recording is simple: Point to a track, select an input, arm for record (red R), Record...
Overdubs: turn OFF the previous red R, point to a new track, do the same as above.
You may want to record the guitar with some effects on (distortion, chorus, whatever). Click on the Fx button just above the track headers, and from the Fx Rack you can select an effect to add to your track. Audition has some basic electric guitar effects built in, for starters.
You can even add reverb on your vocals the same way. I recommend the Studio Reverb effect here, since it won't strangle your computer as fast...
At the lower right corner of your Audition screen, check that 'Audition Mix' is selected!
There's much to be found about recording in general on the net, but the Audition manual is also a worthwhile read. -
Using the internal sound card with good optical A/D converters?
Dear Logic users, I have two questions:
1) I was wondering if the internal sound card of my MacBook is of such quality that I can achieve good results if I bought a good A/D converter with a digital output to plug directly into the optical line in of the MacBook? E.g. the Samson C-valve http://www.samsontech.com/products/productpage.cfm?prodID=1651&brandID=2 along with the M-Audio Co2 http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/CO2-main.html to convert the coaxial S/PDIF to optical? (Same procedure for the line out signal, with a D/A converter of course.) Or is the internal sound card of such inferior quality that I should stick with my current MBox 2 Pro? My initial thought was that if the signal is kept within the digital realm, it is really the A/D converters that determine the sound quality, and that the internal sound card of my MacBook does little less than calculate the digital signal. Maybe someone with a more intimate knowledge of how the internal sound card works with digital I/O could chime in?
2) If the above mentioned approach would be feasible, suggestions of other A/D and D/A converters would be most welcome.
The reason for this is to be free from the driver issues that sometimes occur with external hardware, especially with software/OS upgrades.If you are recording Midi using loops and all it wont make a difference in having a AD/ converter. as everything you are doing is in the box.
However if you want to get a Analogue signal into the computer then its a different case, and I'm not talking about using Optical from a keyboard, and even if i was you would need to have a converter anyway,
even though i am talking about Recording Vocals or Live instrument!
This is where the Converters come into play, be aware Converter and sound-cards are two different source of hardware,
anyway Back to Converters on live vocals this is where the AD comes into play,
transferring Analogue Signal into Digital,
and also getting used to the sound of the converts, or even liking the the sound of the converters/soundcard which is always going to be subjective and which also shares a relation with Near-field monitors,
you change your monitors and it seems as if your sound changes that is how tight the relation is between the two.

Now for questions, firstly, I am not entirely sure that the if statement for checking to see if an existing text file exists is the correct way, and would welcome some help on this, and correction.
Secondly, I need to add a second statement to the if, which if the file exists and the date on that file is the same as the system date, then to open and append some information to it, else create a new file.
Unfortunately, for me, I am not sure how to do this.
Can anyone show me how this can be done?
ThanksHope you can read my coding correctly.
ps: not tested
DECLARE
myFileExist BOOLEAN;
myFileLength NUMBER;
myFileBlockSize BINARY_INTEGER;
myText VARCHAR2(1000):= NULL;
myInstr NUMBER;
l_dir VARCHAR2(10) 'c:/orders';
l_filename VARCHAR2(25) := 'orderlist';
l_datetime DATE := trunc(sysdate);
l_output utl_file.file_type;
BEGIN
utl_file.fgetattr(l_dir, l_filename, myFileExist, myFileLength, myFileBlockSize);
if not myFileExist then -- file not exist
<ul>l_output := utl_file.fopen(l_dir, l_filename, 'w');
utl_file.put_line(l_output, l_datetime || order_id);</ul>
else --file exist
<ul>
l_output := utl_file.fopen(l_dir, l_filename, 'r');
LOOP
<ul>
--------------------------------------------------------------------start loop
UTL_FILE.GET_LINE(l_output,myText) ;
SELECT instr(UPPER(myText),UPPER(trunc(SYSDATE))) into myInstr FROM dual;
IF myText IS NULL THEN
<ul>
EXIT;
</ul>
END IF;
if myInstr > 0 then
<ul>
utl_file.fclose(l_output);
l_output := utl_file.fopen(l_dir, l_filename, 'a');
</ul>
else
<ul>
utl_file.fclose(l_output);
l_filename:='newfilename';
l_output := utl_file.fopen(l_dir, l_filename, 'w');
</ul>
end if;
--------------------------------------------------------------------end loop
</ul>
END loop;
utl_file.put_line(l_output, l_datetime || order_id);
</ul>
end if;
utl_file.fclose(l_output);
END;

Cannot record ingame sound with glc (-git)
I have a problem with recording ingame sound with some games with glc (well, glc-git). glc says, it can record sound from games, if they use alsa (or sdl and forcing sdl to use alsa). As long as I don't use pulseaudio, this shouldn't be a problem. But for some games, I can't get the sound recording to work. The 2 at the moment are:
FTL
Amnesia: The Dark Descent
I usually get a message like this:
[ 1.46s alsa_hook error ] 0xa8a8170: unsupported audio format 0x0e
[ 1.46s alsa_hook error ] 0xa8a8170: can't extract hardware configuration: Operation not supported (95)
I can record the game, but not the audio. If someone can help or test it, if it works for him, that might be nice. Or if someone knows a workaround or so. Or if someone can confirm, that there is no audio recording for those 2 games (but I actually don't wanna hear it... :-) ).
Also there are plenty of games, I got the audio recording to work with. You can see it in my youtube-channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/ChemBroTronNo1doorknob60 wrote:Do you use 64 bit? I don't have a copy of Amnesia downloaded right now, but if Amnesia is a 32 bit binary game, and you use 64 bit, you need to make sure you have the proper 32 bit libraries. lib32-glc will probably be enough.
That's not the issue, the problem is that some games are firing 32-bit float audio (0x0e type as indicated in the error) into ALSA through whatever means, and the standard GLC only supports 16, 24 and 32bit signed int audio. My fork above adds very rudimentary support for float.

Hi I tried to plug a speaker wire in the headphone jack osfmy friend's macbook, and there is a blue button on the volume bar like there suppose to be, however when the speaker wire is unplugged, the blue button on the volume bar disappears,, hence no internal sound. Please help.... Thanks.
Howdy eyeso,
It sounds like you are no longer getting audio from the built in speakers on your Mac after using an external set. I recommend the troubleshooting in the article named:
Troubleshooting issues with no audio from built-in speakers on Macs
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1574
If you are still having issues after you have confirmed the proper version of Mac OS X is installed, make sure the computer is set to play sound from the right source.
Remove any external audio devices and cables from the USB, FireWire, or 3.5 mm audio ports.
Open System Preferences from the Apple () menu, the Dock, or from the Applications folder on your hard drive.
Open the Sound pane and the Output tab, then select Internal Speakers as in this image:
If Internal Speakers is not an option proceed to step 4. For Mac Pro computers, proceed to step 5.
If Internal Speakers is present but not selected, select it and test again.
If the Output volume slider is low or the Mute box is selected, raise the volume slider or deselect the Mute box and test again.
If the issue continues through these steps and Internal Speakers remains the selected option proceed to step 5.
If the Internal Speakers option does not appear in the Output tab and your computer is not a Mac Pro, check that Digital Out is present as in the image below:
Confirm again that all external audio devices and cables have been removed.
Check to see if a red light is lit in the line-out port. If so, your Apple computer may need service.
If you do not see a red light, proceed to step 5.
If the issues persist, contact Apple support for further troubleshooting assistance.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

Need a little help with dial setup on CME
I've got a CME I'm using for testing and I think I need a little help figuring out the proper config to get the system to accept numbers I dial and have those numbers be passed on to an Avaya system (including the leading 9 for ARS in Avaya) via H.323 IP trunks. I have it working well for internal 5 digit extension calls across the H.323 trunks and I also have it working well for some types of outside calls that gets passed on to the Avaya and then the Avaya dials the call out to the PSTN. My only real problem is, I can't figure out how to correctly configure CME to examine the digits I'm dialing and only send the digits once I'm finished dialing....not as soon as it sees an initial match.
What's happening is this. I can dial local numbers in my area as 7 digits or 10 digits. The phone company doesn't yet force us to dial area code and number for local calls (10 digits). I can still dial 7 digits. But...if I put an entry in CME that looks like this....
(by the way, the 192.168.1.1 IP is not the real IP address, that's just an example, but the rest of this entry is what I really have entered in CME)
dial-peer voice 9 voip
description Outside 7 Dig Local Calls Via Avaya
destination-pattern 9.......
session target ipv4:192.168.1.1
dtmf-relay h245-alphanumeric
no vad
...Then it will always try to dial out immediately after seeing the first 8 digits I dial (9 plus the 7 digit number I called)...even though I have a speicifc entry in the system that accounts for calls to 9 plus area code 513. I would have assumed that if I put the specific entry in for 9513....... it would see that and wait to see if I was actually dialing something to match 9513....... instead of 9....... Understand what I mean? Because 9513....... is more specific than 9....... but it still tries to send the call out immediately after seeing the first 8 digits I dialed.
dial-peer voice 9513 voip
description Outside 10 Dig Local Calls Via Avaya
destination-pattern 9513.......
session target ipv4:192.168.1.1
dtmf-relay h245-alphanumeric
no vad
...BUT...here's the interesting thing. If I trace the 10 digit call in Avaya, I see that the number being presented to the Avaya PBX is only the first 7 digits of the number....not the full 10 digits...BUT I see a few more of the digits I dialed (like the 8th and 9th digits) after the call is already setup and sent to the PSTN. It's like the CME is trying to send the rest of the 10 digits I dialed, but at that point it's already too late. It setup the call as a 7 digit call (9 plus 7 digits), not 10 digit like I wanted.
I'm more familiar with how to setup dialing in the Avaya via ARS. My background is Avaya, not Cisco, so this dial-peer config is a little difficult for me until I understand the reasoning of how it examines the numbers and what I should do to make it wait for me to finish dialing....or to tell the system that what I'm dialing will be a minimum or a certain amount of digits and maximum of a certain amount of digits, like the Avaya does. I just need some pointers and examples to look at :-) I think I've almost got it....but I'm just missing something at the moment.
Just so you understand, the call flow should be like this: Cisco phone registered to CME > CME to Avaya via H.323 trunks > Avaya to PSTN via ISDN PRI trunks connected to Avaya. I have to be sure I send the 9 to the Avaya also, because 9 triggers ARS in the Avaya.
Thanks for your helpHere is a good document that explains how dial-peers are matched in the Cisco world:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk652/tk90/technologies_tech_note09186a008010fed1.shtml#topic7
In your case, it is variable length dial plan you are trying to implenent. To fix it, you need to add a T to force the system to wait for more digits to be entered if there is any.

You can also configure the inter-digits timeout using the command timeouts interdigit under telephony-service.

Need a little Help with my new xfi titanium
+Need a little Help with my new xfi titanium< A few questions here.
st question? Im using opt out port on the xfi ti. card and using digital li've on a windows 7 64 bit system,? I would like to know why when i use 5. or 7. and i check to make sure each speakear is working the rear speakers wont sound off but the sr and sl will in replace of the rear speakers. I did a test tone on my sony amp and the speaker are wired correctly becasue the rear speakers and the surrond? left and right sound off when they suppose too. Also when i try to click on? the sl and sr in the sound blaster control panel they dont work but if i click on the rear speakers in the control panel the sl and sr sound off. Do anyone know how i can fix this? So i would like to know why my sl and sr act like rears when they are not?
2nd question? How do i control the volume from my keyboard or from windows period when using opt out i was able to do so with my on board? sound max audio using spidf? Now i can only control the audio using the sony receiver.
Thank you for any help../Re: Need a little Help with my new xfi titanium? ?

I'm unsure about the first question. Do you even have a 7. system and receiver? If you just have 5., you should be able to remap the audio in the THX console.
I do have a sony 7. reciever str de-995 its an older one but its only for my cpu. At first i didnt even have THX installed because it didnt come with the driver package for some reason until i downloaded the daniel_k support drivers and installed it. But it doesnt help in anyway.
I have checked every where regarding the first question and alot of people are having problems getting sound out of there rear channels and the sound being re-mapped to the surround right and the surround left as if there rear left and rear right.
I read somewhere that the daniel_k support drivers would fix this but it didnt for me and many others.
For the second question i assumed it would be becasue of the spidf pass through and that my onboard sound card was inferior to the xfi titaniums. But i wasnt sure and i was hopeing that someone would have a solution for that problem because i miss controlling the volume with my keyboard.
