Master slider/headphones problem in Audigy 2 ZS -HE

Hi there,
So I got an Audigy 2 ZS for my PC and I encounter the following problem:
I accidentaly unplugged the AD link 2 socket(the small one) from the back of my tower.
I put it back in but from that point on master slider stopped controlling volume.
Also I get no sound from the headphones output of the card anymore. (I never had a problem with that)
I got a pair of Yamaha speakers plugged directly into the pc and whereareas I could contol the sound output from the master slider of the card (it was apparently the master voulume anyway)now i can only control it though the knob of my speakers.
It seems to me that sound doesnt come to Soundblaster at all?
But its really weird,i cant see the reason. Notice that I didnt change any setting in options and the light which suggest Audigy works is on. Also in system diagnostic and device manager all seem ok. I reset and even switched on/off the pc but still nothing.
Maybe I m missing something obvious but I m really out of ideas,please help!
Thank you!

IF you unhooked/reconnected the connection with the computer on, power connected, or you had not properly grounded yourself you could have fried part of the card.
Here's what I would try...
) Re-install all creative drivers/software
2) Pull the card out, let it sit on a static free surface for a little while to ensure there are no charges standing on it interfering with its function, then plug her back in and try it out
3) Try the card with same speakers and all in a different rig, if the problem persists on another rig you probably fried some hardware (sounds like a software problem though, so I wouldn't worry to much about that)...

Headphone Problems with Audigy 2

I am having significant problems with a Logitech USB headset and my Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS. I have all the latest updates and drivers, but my headset has a 'swooshing' sound when plugged in.
My view is that the soundcard is not recognising the headset audio correctly and doesn't assign the sound to the channels properly. I have tried manually changing this in the control panel, but no change.
I have uninstalled the hardware, and software (nightmare!) and now the 'Creative Volume Control' doesn't even work, right or double-left click.
In short when the headset is out, the card seems to perform correctly. Additionally, I have removed the USB Audio Device from the PC, and then re-installed it, but again didn't work.
Any advice would be really appreciated...

burnsdh,
Just in case you did not read those reply from Jeremy in another one of your post. The USB headset work independently and it's not linked with the Audigy 2 ZS sound card. USB headset is basically an individual USB sound card.

SB Audigy 2 NX on Windows 7, speakers + headphone problem

Hi All, I plugged my USB SB Audigy 2NX into a Windows 7 x64 laptop. I have 2.1 Stereo speakers plugged in to the SB 'FRONT' Jack. And sometimes plug a stereo headset into the 'SIDE /PHONES' jack.
This works fine on my XP system. And when I plugged in the headphones, the sound will just play on the headphones
THE PROBLEM IS, on the Win 7 laptop, when I plug the headphones into the Audigy 'SIDE /PHONES' jack, the sound still plays thru BOTH the speakers AND the headphones. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?

Installed Driver: the Creative Sound Blaster Audio Driver .0.0099 (Feb 200), no errors detected on the install.

Ok, thanks. Is the PCMCIA Audigy 2?ZS able to decode from external sources? Or is there a way for the laptop (via software) to decode, effecti'vely only using the NX as a hub to connect to the speakers?Message Edited by Alonso4 on 03-27-200704:54 AM

How do I set up a master slide in Keynote that provides placeholders for multiple images?

I came across an article in Mac|Life (Oct 2012 p90) titled "Create a Stylish Slideshow". The steps include creating a master slide that allows for you to add multiple photos. My master slide list for all themes allows for only one photo per slide. What am I missing and how can I set up a slide to which I can add multiple photos as they do in this article? Yes, I am using Keynote '09 v5.3.

Thanks for the info. Following the instructions which are covered in chap 12 of the User Manual, I found that I cannot use shapes as placeholders. The only success I experienced was if I used an actual photo image. With photos I could select Define as Media Placeholder, with Shapes, the only option was to Define as Text Placeholder. I will address this with a thorough review of chapter 12.
My initial problem was that I assumed that all themes in Keynote possessed the same set of Master slides. When I found this not to be the case I looked at each theme and identified 12 of the 44 provided different master slide options which provided placeholders for more than 1 photo (a few provided up to 6). For helpful information for others, here is a listing of those themes that provide master slides for more than 1 photo: Editorial, Kyoto, Brushed Canvas, Typeset, Craft, Stock Book, Blue Print, Vellum, Modern Portfolio, White Corners, Storyboard, Formal.
Thanks again. Your feedback got me on the right track to resolving my problem.

Objects in master slide disappear

Hi,
I got a problem with my master slides. I don't know why, but in some projects (not all), at some point, some objects (not all) in the master slide disappear. They are in the timeline, but we cannot see them in the document window display nor in the published swf.
What's the bug? (I'm using Captivate 5.5)
Thanks
LAG

Hello again
I totally understand about the visibility on Timeline having no effect on the published output.
Let me try to explain this differently. Consider your Captivate workspace to be like a piece of paper. Perhaps you lay another piece of paper sized identically to the first on top of the paper. That second piece is colored gray. So it would provide the illusion of a gray background. You insert a caption and you see the caption and the gray background. You later insert another image. Perhaps a small photo. Now you see the caption, the photo and the gray background. But what if the photo were the same size as the paper? Then the whole photo would just cover the gray background. That's what I was trying to get at by turning off visibility in the timeline. Thinking that perhaps you have something large that is just covering things up where you cannot see them.
Cheers... Rick

Master Slide templates are not showing correctly once out of film view

I am having problems with the master view edit within captivate. I have correctly adjusted the slides to fit the design I want, however when I add a new slide with that layout the buttons and boxes are throw all over the place. As well, a lot of the objects I would like to delete in the quiz pages can not be deleted and when trying to change the text for the default correct, must answer questions box..etc I am not able to change this text.

Hmmm, sorry about your frustration but as a daily user of Lynda.com for all kind of applications I find the Captivate courses much below their usual level. And I have commented that way on their site multiple times. There is no good practice, no explanation of proper workflows now about the logic of Captivate. You are not the first user that I helped out after such a 'bad' introduction. If you look at my answers, you'll see that I'm not that harsh usually. Having taught all kind of software applications since over 20 years, it is to me also very frustrating when I see this happening. And sorry, cannot help you with pointing to other tutorials, I never bought any book (had the same reflections when looking at books), nor trainings. I just learned by exploring and helping other users out.
Captivate is a very versatile tool, but learning curve is made unnecessary steep by bad approach in many tutorials. You'll learn recipes in them, nothing about the concept nor the logic. And once you want to change the recipe, you are stuck.
Do you know that in a theme you have theme color palette, object styles (did you ever use the Object Style Manager), master slides and a skin. The playbar is part of the skin. When you go to the skin editor, first tab allowed you to uncheck the playbar, go to the second tab 'Borders', and uncheck also the Borders.
Even terminology is a problem: what do you mean by a toolbar? There is for the moment in Captivate only a Big Button Bar in editing mode (Slides, Themes, Text, Shapes....). The real toolbar disappeared in CP8, was there in previous versions. There is an Align bar remaining, but it is not visible until you show it with the Window menu.

Master Slide Builds Bug? Fix?

USing Keynote 3.0.1 on 10.4.5
When I create a new Theme by creating new master slides with builds built into them I encounter a problem.
On one of my Master Slides (Title & Bullets) I have a title box, an object (Line) and a bullet text box.
I have set the Title to build automatically after transition, then I have set the Object (Line) to build automatically after the first build (Title).
I have then set the bullet box to build the first bnullet automatically after the Object and each bullet on click after that.
This has all been set at the Master Slide level.
When I apply that master slide to a slide within my presentation, the build order changes. The Object builds first instead of the Title. To get the correct order I have to re-apply the master to the particular slide.
This causes much confusion when I distribute the theme to my colleagues who are not as computer litererate as myself.
Is this a known bug? Is there a fix for it?
Thanks in advance

it won't keep the new format when pasting the text box on other slides.
Why are are you pasting the page number on to other slides when the master slide will place the slide number on all slides correctly formatted? There is no reason to do that.

Master Slide issue - drag and drop alt slide over theme slide

Keynote on my MacPro: Where before on the previous version I could in Master Slides drag and drop an alternative look over a theme slide to change that slide only and no affecting the entire presentation which was most useful, now that seems no longer an option unless there's something I can't find to do that. When viewing Master Slides now you cannot see the presentation you're working on. Previously I would set up several slides with different looks and where needed drop that look over a slide and it would override the theme slide without all slides being affected. Qny thought guys? Barry

Although I have been answering quite a lot of questions about Drag&Drop functionality (not a widget), you are the first to mention such problems. Personally I never had problems, only when not respecting the design of the interaction or doing something stupid. If you are the only user to have such experience (at least for what I hear in these forums and on social media), I don't see why an upgrade should be expected? Did you log the problem? Are you sure that the project is not corrupted?
The jigsaw learning interaction is pretty simple, also limited, don't know what are your problems there?
Are you sure that all objects used in the D&D (drag sources and drop targets) are visible in output. It is a bit confusing in CP8 because the eye icon is used both for visible in output for objects in Properties panel, and for showing the links in D&D in the D&D panel. Can you see the links? Did you avoid overlapping of objects? Did you not rename an object after creating the D&D interaction, because that will break the link from/to that object? I mentioned this in my last article: Drag&Drop tips - Captivate blog
I am just trying to find out what is going wrong, bit curious about this rare case.

Master slide images not loading properly when previewing or when published

I have created a master slide (including image) to be the background for my piece. The image looks fine when I am in Captivate but when I preview the project the image does not display fully and only shows up bright bright white. I tried publishing to see if this would make a difference but nothing. I am using a jpg image.
Has anyone encountered this problem or does anyone have any ideas how I can make the image display?
Thanks
Jodie

What is the slide quality? Default setting is Low (8-bit), depending on your JPEG-image quality this may be too low. Try to change to High or Optimized and see if this is better.

Master Slide - Likert - Error shown in picture

I'm currently, creating a new master slide. I'm changing the positions of quiz slide elements in all 3 views. I used the blank theme as the base and then started making changes to the master slide. All quiz slides are working perfectly except one. Problem is with likert slide in the master slides. When working in the primary view, there isn't any problem. Moment i switch to tablet view, the following happens.
I have tried to remove the multiple items but there seems to be no way for it. Also, it heavily slows captivate and I'm forced to restart captivate. But the multiple entries still persist. Again when I try to do changes the likert master slide, captivate slows down.
Possible solution I have tried already: I have already deleted this slide and copy pasted a new likert slide from a new project with blank theme. Again, everything works as long as I stick with the primary view. Moment, I click on the tablet view, the multiple entries appear and the same cycle again.
Has anyone got any clue as to why this is happening only with likert slide? How can I avoid it? Thanks in advance for your time.

RodWard, I think maybe I should have provided more context and also I think the picture isnt too clear.
I did not add extra questions at all. The only ones I want are the 2 default items which appear in larger font.
The remaining are all the exact same phrase of item one which is "Type item 1 here" in mobile view font type. This is repeated again and again and there seems to be no way to remove it.
Let me add the exact look I have in primary here before I switch to the tablet view.
Now when I click on the tablet view, the following happens.
Again if I go to primary view, the following happens.
Next when I click on mobile view.
Now at this point, the software gets sluggish. So I restart and go to master slide view and select the Likert Slide again. This is what is see.
Obviously, this view isnt looking good. So If i start editing and if I go between the views, its the whole story all over again. Sorry for the elaborate steps but I just wanted to make it clear.

Can I put multiple object placeholder in Master slide?

I would like to know if I can creat multiple object placeholder in Master slide or not. After searching the disccusion, seems that this problem occur since Keynote 03 and is not improved till Keynote 09 now. In fact, I would like to make a slide show of multiple photos, but I would like to arrange several photos in one slide and exactly the same position and size in each slide. So, it would be easiler if I can make a master slide with mulitple object placeholders. Can anyone help or if there is any alternative ways? Thank you.

Apple Maps is not a GIS application. It might be one day. For now, you will have to use ArcGIS or something similar.

Smart Builds on master slides?

I'm trying to build a "portfolio" template where i can create case studies out of a master slide template. Some of these case studies have many images in them, and Smart Builds are the PERFECT tool for cycling through them on a single slide.
However, when i place a Smart Build on a master slide, its contents are not accessible in the slide show itself.
This seems like a really odd oversight to me, since one of the most useful ways to use Smart Builds is on master slides. Unless, of course, i'm missing something and it is actually possible to use Smart Builds in this way.

Just took a peek at Smart Builds and now I'm wondering how editable they are (ie are they based on .qtz files). Anyway, you can workaround masking on smart build objects by masking them first, copying, pasting into Pages, copying from there, then pasting back into the Drop Zone (click to highlight it, then paste). It should work directly in Keynote, but, hey, that's why we love Keynote!
I posted about the problem here.

Pausing slides using master slides and widgets

Hi,
Is there a better way that what we are doing becuase we ware wasting time and we put this process in pace in CP 5.5 and want to know what we can better in CP7.01
We want to have our slides pause at the middle of each slide
Currently
- Our navigation buttons are on the master slide . These are custom static widgets to do forward and back because interactive objects cannot be put on master slides
- so we add a hidden object on each slide to pause
We have complicated branching becuase
- we have glossaries and help
- branched scenarios
So we really need this to work releiably
Problems
- our widget doesn't show on the branched viewer
- we make mistakes using the variable recording the previous viewed slide
We were worried about using a playbar becuase it
- allows you to exit assessments
- allows users to skip our simulations
regards Paul

Your statement '..because interactive objects cannot be put on master slides' is no longer valid since CP6: there is one type of interactive objects that can be used on master slides (or timed for the rest of the project) which are the shape buttons. I have been talking a lot about them:
http://blog.lilybiri.com/why-i-like-shape-buttons-captivate-6
http://blog.lilybiri.com/toggle-shape-buttons
http://blog.lilybiri.com/want-a-button-on-question-slide-in-captivate
And I presented a webinar, info and link can be found here: http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2012/09/training-lilybiris-favourite-shapes-to-trigger-ad vanced-actions.html
You could easily replace the static widgets by shape buttons, they are a lot easier to 'style' and very flexible.
One example: if you want just to pause each slide, add a pausing shape button (transparent fill and no stroke) to the main master slide. Because there is no timing possible for objects on a master slide, that pause will always occur at the end of the slide, whatever its duration. You cannot time the pause! If you have a shape button with pause timed for the rest of the project, that pausing point will always be at the same absolute time (relative is not possible, thought I'd seen somewhere a question about pausing at half the slide duration but cannot find it in your text).
I (almost) never use a playbar myself. It is only useful for simple linear projects.

How to retain the master slide background at the end of the quiz reporting page of a project

I have noticed that the content of the master slide is not retained till the end in the quiz results page of the project. What should I do to retain the contents till the end of the project?

Hi,
Thanks for your time. I have checked the transitions. i didnt give any transition to the slides in the project and i also check the preferences too, i had disable the options that is to fade in and fade out. My problem is "I have 12 slides in this with an intro slide and 10 question slides and then the quiz results page. In that result page, it is showing the result at the end of the result slide the pause button in the skin turned to play button. While clicking that play button it shows only the results, review quiz button and retake quiz button only. It doesn't display the images, widgets, text and some other options which is used in master slide or in the slide itself " Why those things have disappeared? Can you guide me how to overcome this issue.
The solution for the playbar is quiet good. One more doubt in that, The play bar should be displayed in that page but it should be disabled, Is there any solution for this? If yes, kindly share with me
