  • Audigy 2 ZS Platinum - Remote Control not work

    hello all.. Sorry for beating a dead horse. My installation on a P4 3.0 ghz machine of the Audigy 2 was flawless. All hardware diagnostics that have been run have been successful. Everything works. I updated all drivers. Everything is functional on the unit.....but...the remote control doesn't work.
    When I got to setup the remote control and it asks to select a transmitter (rm-500) from a drop down list, it shows rm-500. but it the drop down list for the receiver is BLANK? I've tried several suggestions from the forum but it still doesn't work.
    Have I missed something or is it quite possibly just a dud unit that I have to take back.
    thanks for all suggestions and ideas...

    OK, let's see, you have a device that is still under warranty. You properly installed said device. You put batteries in the remote but it does not work no matter what you try. It seems to me that you have only one option and you mentioned it in the penultimate sentence in your post.
    Hope it's not a long dri've.:smileyvery-happy:

  • SB Audigy 2 Platinum Remote Control Problem, Need THis Resolved quic

    Hi
    this is a Known issue to Symantec Support, I really really want to be able to use my Audigy 2 Remote Control with this Soundcard, but I can't, until Symantec or YOUR SLOW AS MOLASSES COMPANY UPDATES MEDIASOURCE SOFTWARE SO THESE 2 PROGRAMS DON"T CONFLICT, WITH REMOTE CENTER LOADING ON STARTUP, IT WILL NOT LOAD AUTOPROTECT FOR NORTON ANTIVIRUS 2005
    FIX THIS, and quickly, is all I have to say
    Or let use SB Audigy 2 Platinum Users download the newest versions of the software

    Hi
    I don't have that file on startup--SBDrvdet, All I have is Creative DVD Audio Driver Detector, CTHelper, and RCman, which is disabled so Norton's Autoprotect will work ok.
    Thanks for the reply though
    Here is Symantecs workaround, I guess I can li've with these, but if Norton's Autoprotect winds up disabling by this workaround, and I happen to get a trojan or virus in..then I won't be very happy

    After Disabling Creative DVD Audio Detector, I reenabled the Remote Control and restarted, and so far so good last 2 days without a conflict With Norton Antivirus, if it really does solve the problem, I will email Symantec Support and let them know the solution, so they can inform other users with the same problem, since obviously creative doesn't want to assist them in finding the problem or provide help fixing it. So far Remote Control hasn't been an issue, but I'm gonna wait til end of month to send off an email to Symantec to make sure it's actually fixed. Since if it doesn't drop out of me by then, then I know it's fixed, since was only in 2 weeks before it got the internal program error before.

  • Remote control: just the menu button working

    on my new iMac 20" the only thing I can do with the remote control is bring up or close front row with the menu button, the other functions do not work - I have to press the arrow keys on the keyboard to switch from one application to the next e.g.

    Ok folks, here is what I did should anybody be in the same case: I took out the battery and put it back again and than 'twisted' the remote control along its longitudinal axis till I heard a small cracking sound from the plastic material and that's it: the remote control works perfect now! there seems to be generous
    tolerances in manufacturing quality here..

  • Creative Megaworks 250D 2.1 THX: How can I find a new remote control & spare satellite(s)?

    Hi all,
    For years, we have owned and used one remarkable speaker set from Creative:
    The Creative Megaworks (Cambridge Soundworks) 250D 2.1 THX-certified speakers!
    I have no complaints. The sound this small 2.1 set produces is amazing! The 300 watts (RMS) power can shake the whole house - x50W + 2x75W are more than enough! Movies, music, games, everything sounds great - bass is deep and clear, mid-range is good, high frequences are clear! There's no noise and no distortion (I have connected the system to an SPDIF digital connector on my sound card), the Signal-to-Noise ratio is 99 dB, and the frequency response of the set is extremely good, too!
    But I have a problem, now. We have broken, by accident, one of the satellites. Now I have only one satellite, and the bass/amplifier with the remote control... Looks like a . system... ;-)
    This system was a present for us. Maybe we were lucky, but I am very happy with the build quality of this Creative spaker set. Until we have broken one of the satellites ourselves, yesterday, everything was OK, and the sound it produced was amazing all these years...
    I tried to contact a Creative representative, asking if we can maybe order one (or two) spare satellites fot this set, but the only reply (up to now) was:
    "You are out of warranty period. Buy a new speaker set."
    Well, we could, I guess...
    But:
    First: Creative does not have (at present) a similar model, 2.1, THX certified, with digital (SPDIF input), 300W+ RMS, 99 dB Signal-to-Noise.
    Second, to throw away such an amazing set just because there's one satellite broken? That would be such pity! :-(
    I'd like to buy one (or two) new 250D satellites. I was thinking even that, in the worst case, I can maybe try to order 2 satellites from a Creative Gigaworks S750 set. They have very similar characteristics, 70W rms power, 8 ohms, so maybe this'll work. I was trying to check today if two satellites can be ordered, but with no luck up to now... :-(
    Does anyone have any similar experience? What do you do if you accidentally have broken up one satellite from a 2./5./7. expensi've speaker set? Should you throw away the whole set? Try to find similar satellites?
    I hope Creative support will help, but I don't have much hope, at present...
    Does anyone have experience connecting an S750 satellite to a 250D system? Can I expect any problems? Or it'll work?
    Finally, just one more question:
    The remote control.
    Currently, the remote control unit on our 250D model works OK. But I am a bit worried, if anything happens, that the speaker set can become useless. So I'd like to order one spare new remote control for this model, just in case. Can someone help?
    Maybe, even if this speaker set is not produced anymore, a new remote control can be ordered from Creative?
    I'd really like to make these 250D speakers produce great sound again!? I am a big Creative fan and Creative 250D 2.1 THX is one of the best sound systems I have ever owned (or heard) and I'd like to do everyting to fix things up...
    Thanks for all the help!
    Cheers! :-)
    PS The satellites of the 250D look very much like these. But these Cambridge Soundworks satellites are more powerful (20W RMS); I was even thinking to order a pair of them, but not sure if they'll fit well. Maybe a pair of S750 satellites (70W RMS) is a better idea? But in any case, if I can find a new pair of satellites, what to do with the remote control?... Please, help!

    After exchanging several messages with official Creative Support, I feel a bit disappointed... For years, I have believed that Creative is a company that makes amazing audio products. They probably still do, but now that I am a customer who owns an expensive product of theirs, but with expired warranty, they don't want even to suggest a solution that can work for both parties!
    Why is Creative Support so un-supportive? :-( I am still a Creative customer, after all, right?
    My communication with Support went nowhere. After it was established that our 250D system is out of warranty period (it is only 2 years, btw), they refused to sell me a replacement satellite (even if they still may have some left in stock, for such cases)!
    Finally, I found S700 satellites on ebay and I hope that 2 of them will fit well with the 250D system. Impedance of 250D satellites is 8 ohms (S700 satellites are 8 ohms, too), power is almost the same (250D satellites are 75W rms, and S700 are 70W rms), Signal-to-Noise of both systems is 99 dB, and frequency response is similar, too (250D satellites should be around 50Hz - 8 kHz, I think, and S700 should be around 50Hz - 20 kHz).
    Well, my final 'point of worry' was that if anything happens with the remote control, we won't be able to switch on/off the system, even if the sub/amplifier works. So, I tried to ask Support just to sell me one new remote control, if they can. To sell, not to give for free, mind this! ;-)
    They refused!
    My e-mails are either left un-answered, or the only kind of reply I get is 'We can offer you 10% off our new products'. Well, I don't want to buy a whole new expensi've system, if I can just get 1-2 replacement parts for my old one, and have it working for years! :-)
    (Imagine you buy an expensive DSLR camera, you break the LCD screen, and imagine how Canon or Nikon refuse to sell you a replacement LCD, because you're out of warranty! I can't imagine that!)
    Well, with Creative it looks like this works only this way: Buy a new system. While speaker system is within its warranty period, Creative may replace defecti've and/or broken parts. Once system is out of warranty period, you can simply throw the system away, as Creative will not sell you replacement parts, no matter how politely you ask (and no matter if such parts are available at Creative or not)!
    I hope I will be able to use our 250D system for some more time (after the satellites arrive). I don't know how I can find a new remote control, just to be on the safe side.
    And I am not sure I will buy Creative product next time. I will carefully look around and maybe will pick up a product from a company which will offer me not only warranty support, but out-of-warranty support, too. That would be wise.
    I like how the high-end Creative speaker systems sound. I simply cannot understand how this company can be successful, if they make such great products, but then refuse to help its customers, when they have problems... :-(

  • MEGA 180 remote control LINUX support

    I'm trying to set the MEGA 180 up as a home entertainment system with Freevo on Debian (Linux).
    The system now boots from network, and sound/video/tv-out works perfectly.
    I've not managed to use the LCD, radio and remote control yet.
    (Or the card reader, but that should not be a problem).
    The radio and LCD I can live without, but the remote control was what got me to buy the system in the first place.  Does anyone know how to make it work with linux?
    If someone could supply me with specs for the hardware, I should be able to write a driver myself, but so far, I've had no luck finding the info I need.
    (I didn't expect the onboard IR reciever to work, so I had build a serial IR reciever... but when I got the PC... no serial port )
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    These are the only links I have got that might be of interest.

  • Sound Blaster X-Fi Platinum Drive Bay Problem/Remote Control Probl

    Yesterday I have received my X-Fi Platinum sound card.
    The sound card works fine.
    I see a red light in my dri've bay so I am assuming there is power.
    The problem is that when I plug in headphones it does not work.
    The remote control does not work either. Is there supposed to be a light when i press something on it's?
    Also people tell me to enable it in Entertainment Center Settings but it wont let me.
    When I open the program it pops up " Unable to find working IR device".
    Also when i get in the program it wont let me check the box that says " enable remote control". It is just grayed out and wont let me click.
    Can someone please help me.
    Thanks in advance.Message Edited by xkrnmikelx on 05-27-2006 0:50 PM

    Okay, I've got it running (almost):
    I did uninstall all Creative apps and drivers.
    After a reboot, I did run the Registry Cleaner of Tuneup (http://www.tune-up.com/)for several times.
    In addition, I did manually delete ALL creative entries in the registry with "regedit".
    I did also found some running tasks for my onboard RealTek soundcard, I thought they have been uninstalled already, did kill the tasks and deleted the related programms in the Windows folder (soundman.exe).
    After another reboot, I did run the installation from the CD again - the Entertainment Center is running.
    ONLY PROBLEM LEFT: All options are working, except in "Music". All options except the last one (Workplace) to browse folders, are crashing the Entertainment Center.
    When I select Artist, Album, Genre, the EC seems to look for files on my HD and shuts down after a while.
    Maybe my database/music folder is to large (+ 5000 titles, my complete CD collection as WMA files).
    I'm running a German OS, so I'm not 00&#37; sure if the mentioned folders/options are correct translated.

  • Need a way to remotely control a camcorder for live streaming

    Hi all,
    I purchased a Canon Vixia HF R40 for streaming. It works well enough when I use the camera's HDMI out to a Blackmagic Intensity Pro card and stream via Livestream.com.
    The problem I'm having is that the camera is permanently mounted about 8' up a wall, and I sometimes need zoom it in or out for different programming. Reading the box, I expected to be able to us WiFi to remotely control the zoom, but turning on WiFi turns off the HDMI output.
    Questions:
    1) Will the Canon CameraWindow software on my computer allow me to control the zoom the R40 via USB, or is it just for transferring previous recordings?
    2) Is there a different camcorder that will allow me to stream the HDMI output and zoom?

    1. No, as far as I know you cannot control the camera via USB.
    2. I believe that the last camcorders in Canon's M series (M400, M40, M41) came with an IR remote which could control the zoom.

  • Just bought Apple TV today, have one problem, how to have the remote control the TV alone, not my mac pro ...

    just bought the Apple TV today, connected with my Pioneer Elite receiver, works great with my iPhone 5, HD movie steam without any problem. but when i open my MBP, problem start surface, i try to do the home sharing, but the remote control not only control my apple tv, but control my MBP as well, so it mess up everything. please help also the Apple TV keep on resume playing music or video without permission, for example, i was trying to watch a photo slideshow, but it keeping switch back to playing the video files i last watched. any ideas?

    As for the remote issue, what version of OS X are you using?
    With the latest version of Mountain Lion 10.8.2 you will find the remote control setting in Preferences/Sharing/Privacy then click the Advanced button at the bottom. Check "Disable remote control infrared receiver" or pair a different Apple remote to prevent the ATV's remote from controlling the computer.

  • Remote control / magic mouse wont respond

    Hi there,
    I was wondering if anyone out there can please help?
    (I know that this issue has been widely discussed in online forums, but after spending hours trying to find a solution online, I thought I come here and ask directly!!)
    Last week I purchased the latest iMac 27" quadcore.
    A very nice bit of kit,.....but I'm having a real headache with lost connection problems with my Magic Mouse. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't....
    For no apparent reason, it just suddenly loses connection (and I have to resort to using my wired mouse..... until the Magic Mouse decides it wants to play ball again!).
    And now, in a similar fashion, my shiny new Apple remote control has decided it doesn't work either.
    I was flicking through the latest movie trailers this morning (using the remote). All was fine.....until it decided it didn't want to work anymore! And now it won't work at all......
    (By the way, I'm pleased to announce that, so far, I haven't had any issues with the wireless keyboard).
    This iMac is by far the most expensive purchase I have ever made - and this experience has greatly annoyed me......and somewhat taken the shine off of it!!
    Can anyone please offer any advice / help?
    Many thanks (in anticipation...)

    Hi David, just to give you a quick update, I've restarted my iMac - and now the remote seems to be working okay.
    Upon restarting my iMac I noticed that I'd accidentally set up 2 user accounts: one had my OLD user name (which I imported from my old Mac using migration assistant), and one was the NEW user account I set up.
    Earlier today I was unknowingly logged into my NEW user account - and it MAY be that my new user account didn't have my Little Snitch preferences set up in the same way as my old one....and was possibly blocking me from using the remote...
    (However, that doesn't explain how it WAS temporarily working this morning..... and then not!)
    Anyway, I've deleted the new user account I'd set up - so at least that takes any further confusion out of the picture!
    My Magic Mouse is currently working...... but I'm keeping an eye on it!
    I've read this posting somewhere else on this forum:
    "Trash a preference file and restart (com.apple.bluetooth.plist)
    Make the mouse a favorite:
    System preferences>bluetooth. Highlight the mouse and click on the little gear thing and select show more options. Click on the gear again and make the mouse a favorite."
    If I continue to have a problem with my mouse's lost connection, is this a course of action that you would recommend?
    Or is it best avoided??!!
