Live Drive with X-Fi ExtremeMu

Hey all,
I have a Creative X-Fi Extremegamer card - previously I owned a Creative Sound Blaster Li've Platinum 5. - I still have that old Li've Dri've and have hooked it up to the X-fi - has anyone else tried this with success? The headphone port appears to work, but I am having trouble ge tting out SPDIF out to work - I hooked up a cable from the out to my receiver and cannot seem to get audio - not sure if it is due to the old device with the new card, or someconfiguration I am not sure of. Any ideas? Thanks!

It fits perfectly though...are you sure if I buy the X-Fi dri've I won't have the same problem? I have a Coax cable going from the SPDIF out to an input on my DD/DTS receiver - I'm not sure what the trick is for the audio to come through.

    Help!... I am trying to install my sound blaster li've platinum with front bay on to an XP professional PC.....and can i get the thing to work!!! (no is the polite answer). I have downloaded what looks like the correct path type thingy but it just says my hardware isn;t installed properly but that is the whole problem!!! any ideas please help.....i'm a music teacher and my classes are missing out!!!! awwww bless
    Thanks

    Create a folder on the desktop name li've.
    open the driver pack with winrar and then extract entire contents to said folder.
    Remove the card from the computer and reboot.
    Shutdown computer and put the card in PCI slot 4, or 3.
    Reboot and when windows detects the card to install drivers point it to the folder on the desktop and hopefully it should find them.
    Ok, give that a try to start with.

    Is there any way that I can use my Audigy li've-dri've with my X-Fi eXtreme music?
    Thanks in advance,

  • How can I do live streaming with a Mac Book Pro 2011, using a new model of Sony HD camcorder which does not have firewire out/input? it comes only with a component video output, USB, HDMI and composite RCA output?

    I need to do live streaming with a Mac Book Pro 2011, using a new model of Sony HD camcorder (http://store.sony.co...ber=HDRAX2000/H) ..this camcorder model does not have firewire out/input ..it comes only with a component video output, USB, HDMI and composite A/V video output..
    I wonder how can I plug this camcorder to the firewire port of my laptop? Browsing on internet I found that Grass Valley Company produces this converter http://www.amazon.co...=A17MC6HOH9AVE6 ..but I am not sure -not even after checking the amazon reviews- if this device will send the video signal through firewire to my laptop, in order to live streaming properly? ..anyone in this forum could help me please?
    Thanx

    I can't broadcast with the built in iSight webcam... how would I zoom in or zoom out? or how would I pan? I've seem people doing it walking with their laptops but that's not an option for me... there's nothing wrong with my USB ports but that's neither an option to stream video because as far as I know through USB you can't connect video in apple operating systems ..you can for sure plug any video cam or photo camera through usb but as a drive to transfer data not as a live video camera...  is by firewire an old interface developed by apple that you can connect all sorts of cameras to apple computers... unfortunately my new sony HDR-AX2000 camcorder doesn't have firewire output...
    thanx

  • I have a 3rd party hard drive with movies on it ,it is connected to my airport extreme. The AE is connected to my tv via ethernet cable. Can I stream my movies to the Tv ?

    I have a 3rd party hard drive with movies on it ,it is connected to my airport extreme. The AE is connected to my tv via ethernet cable. Can I stream my movies to the Tv ?

    Not without a player..
    The AE is a dumb file server.. the hard disk you plug in is an even dumber hard disk.
    There are no smarts in this setup.. not even DLNA. So the TV would have to be an extremely smart one to read raw files on a network drive.. none do that I know of.
    A solution is WD live TV.. it can read files from just about any file source on network and play them to the TV.
    Nothing apple makes will do that.. ATV is a streamer not a media player. Everything in the Apple world is tied up with itunes. So you must have a computer running itunes to use it.
    You can download a more generic player for ipad, and put that as part of the network.. but you still need ATV to display the video.

  • HAL doesn't recognize my ext. drive with 1500GB, the 500GB one works

    Hi there
    Some days ago I bought a 1500GB external harddrive, but after plugin it in via USB, it doesn't appear in my file manager. I tested it with thunar and pcmanfm, with both it didn't work. I don't think, that it's their fault, I think HAL doesn't like my new drive. My older one with 500GB is automounted as it should be. And I also don't think, that its a hardware issue, because in an ubuntu live-session it works with both harddrives.
    This is how the two drives are partitioned
    Disk /dev/sdb: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes
    255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders
    Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
    Disk identifier: 0x0008941c
    Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
    /dev/sdb1 1 60801 488384001 83 Linux
    Disk /dev/sdc: 1500.3 GB, 1500301910016 bytes
    255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 182401 cylinders
    Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
    Disk identifier: 0x0004aa3c
    Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
    /dev/sdc1 1 182401 1465136001 83 Linux
    As you can see, no difference here. The drive with 1500GB has xfs as filesystem, the 500GB has jfs, but that isn't the reason, I tried many filesystems on the 1500GB one and it didn't work with all of them
    In the AUR, there appeared a new packaged called devicekit and I thought, that this might spit out some helpful informations. I used the command "devkit -m"

    I hope someone finds some useful informations in these lines!
    If you have some other test tools or command lines or whatever I could do to give you more or better informations, please let me know!
    p.s.: Right in this moment I was thinking about recompiling HAL with less patches, but even Arch uses many, so I'm not really sure which one or which combination could even be the reason. But I'll try it without any patch now right after posting this thread.

    I'm having a problem kind of like this. I have a 1TB Western Digital MyBook. It has the option of running in RAID0 or RAID1. I have it in RAID0 for more storage. My computer seems to find it, but it doesn't mount and it doesn't show up in /dev/.

    The last line says that it can't find the "scsi:t-0x0d" module, but I can't find what I would need to enable to get that module. I can't find any related modules in the standard arch modules either. I'm using a custom kernel and I can't boot the standard arch kernel to test because it says something like "/dev/sda5" cannot be found and then it panics (the same startup options work fine on my custom kernel, the standard flips out for some reason).

  • Capturing Video Direct to hard drive with FCS

    I am using a Canon HX A1 and I am wondering if there is any way of capturing video directly to a hard drive while shooting without using Adobe On Location. Does FC have any functionality in this area or is there any other MAC friendly apps that do this?

    You can capture a live feed with FCE, FCP, QT Pro and several other applications. Connect your camera via Firewire, in FCP, set Device Control to ":Non-Controllable Device" and use Capture Now.
    NOTE: whenever using a Canon device for capturing of any type, it would be best to make sure that the Canon device is on it's own Firewire bus. You can achieve this by adding a Firewire card (thereby creating a new FW bus) or by capturing only to an internal hard drive.

  • Can Leopard partition a backup drive with Tiger on it?

    I am going to be upgrading tp 10.5.4 on my main HD. I've cloned my whole 10.4.9 system to a 2nd internal drive a while back, but did not create a small partition for a SuperDuper Sandbox at that time. To save myself the time it will take to format the backup drive, partition it, then reclone my Tiger system can I...once I successfully upgrade to Leopard, use Leo to put a small partition on my backup HD, with Tiger on it, WITHOUT erasing the backup drive?

    Karen,
    First, and just to clarify things, your drive is already partitioned. It just has a single partition. In the "Partition" tab of Leopard's Disk Utility, you'll see a graphical representation of that partition (just as you would in earlier versions of Disk Utility). The difference is that there will appear a re-sizing "grab tab" at the bottom-right of the icon that represents your current partition (it looks just like the "grab tab" at bottom-right of any application window).
    If we are simply re-partitioning a drive, we can choose a new partition scheme using the appropriate pull-down menu, and that scheme will be reflected in the graphical representation (showing however many volumes, aka "partitions" we choose), and they can be adjusted for size. At some point, we would click "Apply" to begin re-partitioning according to our settings. In this scenario, any and all data on the drive would be destroyed.
    In your case, however, you'll be dynamically adding a partition to a "live" drive. You'll start by using the "grab tab" to make the one existing volume smaller, by however much space you want to allocate to the volume you'll add. Next, you'll use another new feature in Leopard's "partition" pane, the "+" button below the representation. This adds a new volume in the unallocated space you will have provided by making the first volume smaller. Click the "Apply" button, and your changes will be written to the drive (cross your fingers). Provided all works as intended, whatever data exists on the first volume will not be affected.
    With 121 GBs free, you can theoretically create a second volume of 121 GBs. However, I wouldn't expect this to happen in practice. Some of that 121 GBs of free space will actually exist "in the spaces" between the data/files already written to the drive. How much of your free space exists in this state depends entirely on how you have been using the drive, for how long, and the file sizes involved. If, for example, you have ever filled the current single volume entirely, it is likely that some files reside near the end of the drive, with almost all of your free space "in the middle." In this case, Disk Utility will balk at allowing you to make that volume smaller.
    Since you have recently "cloned" Tiger to this drive, it is reasonable to assume this won't be the case for you (the drive was probably erased at the time, right?). So, I think you have a good chance of success. And, since you have everything backed up on optical media, convenience will be the issue, not data security.

  • Replace Combo Drive with Superdrive

    2 years ago I bought this Pbook G4 with Combo Drive. Then, during "our" journey, I found out that this Combo Drive was not quite satisfied me. So I have plan to upgrade/replace the Combo Drive to Superdrive.
    My question: is it worth to replace my old Combo Drive with Superdrive? And do you know how much does it cost? Including labor?
    Many thanks.

    Ok, thank you for the infos.
    It'll cost me Rp. 2,5 million plus Rp. 200 thousand (labor) for trading my old combo drive with new superdrive. It's a little bit expensive here.
    I live on Jakarta, Indonesia.

    I was a dj fro 7 years and recently am making the change to live computer performance.
    The problem I'm having in I have an externalk firewire drive with my tunes, a usb midi controller, a mouse, a firewire interface etc etc.
    the powerbook only has one usb slot and one firewire slot.
    How can this happen?
    I've bought a usb hub (dosen't work?"
    the guys ant apple tell me I cant but a firewire hub...
    whats the deal
    how do you guys do it???

    really? I had picked up one of those belkin stackable usb hubs, and nothing worked through it, even my xkeys didn't read???
    I've been told that hubs will not work for usb controllers like say the oxygen 8 and so far they have been right? Maybe its my hub? It cost 70 dollars???
    What hub do you use? Do you dj live with a powerbook and controllers etc..
    How do you daisy chain firewire devices? heres what I'm trying to accomplish:
    17" Powerbook 1.67 ghz with 2gb of ram
    M-Audio 410 firewire interface
    for now THE EVOLUTION UC-33E CONTROLLER

  • I want to centralize my Itunes Media library to a Mybook Live drive.

    I have bought a My Book Live drive as it said I coudl run an iTunes Server.  I want to be able to have one central Itunes Media location for all my music and apps etc.  So I have moved this to the My Book live.  When I open Itunes I see all my music under the LIBRARY and under SHARED/MyBookLive.  I don't see my apps or other items?  Also if I add a new album to my music library it shows up in both on the PC I add the music from but not on any of the other PC I have in my house.  So I want to have a simple solution with all mymusic and apps etc in a single place that looks the same on each of my PC's?
    Any ideas

    Thanks for the quick reply!
    No, I simply went to Itunes, Library, Music. As you mention, I can't click and drag the folder, so I click and drag a section of songs at a time, but then they are all resorted to "by artist" instead of "by title".
    All I am trying to do is create space on my internal hard drive by transferring ITunes to an external hard drive (so Time Machine is not an option). Any suggestions, or is what I am trying to do not possible?

  • Moving Arch to drive with Windows.

    Hey there,
    So I had installed Arch several months ago on my laptop. Because I didnt want to screw anything up, I swapped out the laptop hard drive with a spare one and installed Arch on there. However, now i would like to move Arch back into my original laptop HDD so i dont have to keep swapping things out when i need to use winblows. My windows partition is already shrunk  down and I have enough unallocated space on the drive for my Arch installation. So is all I have to do now clone the partitions from the external drive to the internal drive? Would i also need to boot into a live cd regenerate the fstab?

    iurnait wrote:So is all I have to do now clone the partitions from the external drive to the internal drive?
    There are some limitations to this:
    If you have a MBR partition table, you can only have 4 primary partitions on a drive.
    The space on your internal drive must be sufficient for all the partitions.
    You still have to install a bootloader on the internal drive and configure it to boot arch and windows.
    Apart from that i suggest you not to clone the partitions, but the filesystems .
    iurnait wrote:Would i also need to boot into a live cd regenerate the fstab?
    You definitely need to regenerate the fstab, but not necessarily from a live cd.
    Can you find a way to acess both harddrives at once from your laptop, for example with an usb harddrive enclosure?

  • I have replaced my old hard drive with a new SSD drive. Can I restore a complete Time Machine backup

    I have replaced my old hard drive on a MacBook Pro midyear 2010 with a new SSD drive. I have a complete system backup of my old drive in an external hard drive using Time Machine.
    Questions that I would like to get answered.
    1) Can I connect my external hard drive to the macbook pro and use that to boot up my machine by pressing and holding down the Options key? Once booted up successfully, can I use Disk Utility to format the new SSD and then restore the complete time machine backup?
    2) If that is not possible, can I use my old drive which I can connect using a USB adapter and use that to boot up by following the same strategy as listed in Step#1 above?
    3) If neither options are possible, do I need to use a bootable USB drive for Mavericks OS X to boot up the machine,
    I have Mavericks OS X ( 10.9.6) and I do not have a DVD of the OS.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Let me first document the steps that did not work and then I will document the steps that worked.
    1) Replaced the hard drive with SSD.
    2) Connected the original hard drive using a USB adapter to the MacBook to make it behave like an external device.
    3) Powered on the machine and on hearing the chime pressed Command-R to start in recovery mode.
    4) Chose the Disk Utility option to erase and format the SSD. The format chosen was Mac OS Extended Journaled.
    5) Once the formatting was done, then clicked on the "Restore" tab in Disk Utility
    6) In the Source field, dragged my original hard drive from the left pane and placed it in the field
    7) On the destination field, choose the new SSD drive. Clicked on "Restore". Gave me a warning, accepted the warning and the restore was under way.
    8) I had 236 GB to restore so took 3.5 hours before it was done.
    9) Disconnected the external hard drive ( my original internal HDD), shut down the machine and powered on again.
    10) Heard the chime and after that it was a white screen with no Apple logo.
    Was visibly upset and started thinking what my next move will be. Then tried these steps
    1) Again powered off the machine.
    2) Connected my internal HDD once more as an external drive
    3) Powered on and on hearing the chime, pressed Command-R as before
    4) Once the OS X utilities screen popped up, this time chose Install OS X
    5) Erased the contents of SSD once more and reformatted it using Mac OS Extended Journaled.
    6) Installed OS X by following the prompts.
    7) Once the OS was installed, I was presented with an option on how to transfer data to this new Mac
    8) Chose the option to move the data from my original HDD.
    9) Took another 3 hours to move the data.
    10) Removed the original HDD once the transfer was complete, powered down the machine and started it once more.
    11) Booted successfully and all my content is now accessible on the new SSD.
    Moral of the story - It is the spirit that counts.
