Mode switch problem: x-fi music extr

I have this problem with my new music blaster x-fi music extreem sound card, and it's killing me! I'm trying to make som music of my own using various kinds of software, lately the demo version of adobe Audition .5. My problem is simple: I'm trying to hear one recorded track while recording a new track using my electric guitar plugged to line in. When I'm in audio creation mode, I can't hear the track, I recorded just before while I record a new track, and when I'm in entertainment mode, I hear the track all right, but I can't record any new track. Please help anyone!

I know, LOL. I learned my lesson with with my A2. Bought the one without the dri've because was told could buy dri've deal later. Only place saw it for sale was on CL UK store and for an outrageous price compared to just buying the card with it included to start with. I went with the FPS this time and really do find the front bay deal handy. Now then, if you can confirm the regular A2 dri've will work, let me know. I actually bought one from someone who didnt use theirs to use with my A2 but upgraded to X-FI before I got around to installing it. Like I said tho you need to find out if it will even work and then if it will maybe I can help you out. Think the only thing I didnt get from him was the firewire cable if you wanted that. Anyway all moot till you find out anyway

Yoga 2 pro mode switching problem

there is problem on my yoga 2 pro. My yoga 2 pro should be in the laptop mode, but it changed to tablet mode suddenly and changed back to laptop mode after 5 seconds. This is not only the first time, it had happened about ten times since I bought it three month ago. so what's problem on my yoga 2 pro?

I realize that too today in the office. I changed to tablet then it change to tent then change back to tablet after 2 seconds. I am thinking there could be a "lag" for the laptop to detect the modes.
Just curious, were you in Laptop mode all the while the unintended change happen?

I have a Y2P (i5) ... Feel free to ping me if you want me to test some applications with your Y2P if you have the same model. I don't mind keep doing recovery on it if needed .... =)

My ipod nano, when it enters standby mode, pause the reproduction of music, how do I solve this problem?

My ipod nano, when it enters standby mode, pause the reproduction of music, how do I solve this problem?

This is usually an indication that your headphones are not plugged ALL the way in. The white part of the headset should be flush with the body of the Nano and no silver from the headphone plug should still be seen.

Mode switch key mapping problem

I searched a lot of wikis, forums but i didn't find out how to configure this.
I'm using the romanian keyboard layout, configured like this in xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbLayout" "ro"
EndSection
Alt_R / Alt Gr is by default mapped to switch modes. I managed to make the left Win Key change modes, by making a ~/.Xmodmap:
keycode 115 = ISO_Level3_Shift
Now both Alt_R and the left WinKey switch modes. I want to remove the mode switch from the right Alt, because i need it for other applications.
I tried putting remove / clear keycode 113 in .Xmodmap but it didn't work.
Also, why is arch/linux(?) using "ISO_Level3_Shift" instead of Mode_switch?
this is my output from xev:
for left winkey:
KeyRelease event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x2000001,
root 0x155, subw 0x0, time 14283222, (43,85), root:(466,375),
state 0x90, keycode 115 (keysym 0xfe03, ISO_Level3_Shift), same_screen YES,
XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 113
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
alt gr:
KeyPress event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x2000001,
root 0x155, subw 0x0, time 14283906, (43,85), root:(466,375),
state 0x10, keycode 113 (keysym 0xfe03, ISO_Level3_Shift), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False

Solved it.
I tried to add Option "XKbOption" "compose:lwin" in xorg.conf but it didn't work.
Finally, I switched to US keyboard and defined the language specific characters using xmodmap. Could have done this in the first place but i thought there was a way to remove the Mode_switch from Alt Gr. It would have been more elegant.

Mode switching as Standard User/Administra

Can someone confirm that mode switching is possible only if user is logged on with Administrator privileges ?If I try to switch modes when logged on with User privileges strange things start to?happen Mixer can not find audio hardware, missing items on mixer panels and so on.

Bumped. Some more details on the problem. The system is Windows XP based with Creative X-Fi Extreme Music card. While logged on with Standard User privileges it is not possible to change modein any way using Mode Switcher or Audio Console.Additionaly all settings made in Mixer are reset after user logoff and arereverted to the ones set by the Administrator.

Laptop mode tools problem with kernel 3.0

today I just updated the system and my laptop runs dramatically hotter after that. I read the archwiki, it does talk about the laptop mode tools problem with kernel 3.0 but when I opened the file /usr/sbin/laptop_mode, the lines which the wiki mentions are not there. Does anyone here have the same problem and can you offer the solution?
Here is my /usr/sbin/laptop_mode
#! /bin/sh
# Script to start or stop laptop_mode, and to control various settings of the
# kernel, hardware etc. that influence power consumption.
# This script is a part of Laptop Mode Tools. If you are running a supported

# state change.
# Configure laptop mode tools in /etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf, and in

# This is a 2 phase locking approach. LMT_REQ_LOCK is the outer lock and LMT_INVOC_LOCK is the inner lock
# We take this approach to ensure the scenario that, "At any point when an event occurs (AC/BATT), the
# kernel can generate multiple events spanning over a couple of events. The first event is honored and
# lmt executes. If the last event triggered at the 9th second, there is a fair chance that a good amount
# of state change would have occured in the OS, to honor that state, we keep an outer lock (LMT_REQ_LOCK)
# handy, so that those changes can also be applied and not forgotten.
# Workflow:
# Event-1 is generated and lmt executes (lmt runtime could span 5-10 seconds)
# At seventh second, 4 events generate. But Event-1 is still running.
# We don't want to discard all the remaining 4 events, but at least honor 1 so that we can act to the changes
# that occured in the last 7 seconds.
# So, Event-2 acquire LMT_REQ_LOCK and waits to acquire LMT_INVOC_LOCK (which is acquire by Event-1)

I had the problem but edited the line in /usr/sbin/laptop_mode and it worked. But thoes lines are not there anymore. I guess they changed it at the recent update of laptop-mode-tools.
Regarding your heat problem; is there any other thing you use to cut down power usage (from AUR maybe)? I use acpi_call from AUR had to edit lines there aswell, but it should be updated by now.

Third Party X-Fi Mode Switching Softw

I recently ran across an issue which is documented in this thread:
http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=soundblaster&message.id=53809
What I found out raised an interesting possibility: it should fairly easy to make software to switch modes with X-Fi sound cards. The community only needs to work together to make some third party software to get the job done.
When modes are switched for the X-Fi, the following folder is utilized (on XP, at any rate):
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Creative\Spi\
{00000005-00000000-00000007-000002-00000005-00202}\Modes
The files which are involved are named as such:
CTXFICMu.ini
CTXFICMu.rfx
CTXFIEMu.ini
CTXFIEMu.rfx
CTXFIGMu.ini
CTXFIGMu.rfx
The two 'CTXFICMu' files correspond to Audio Creation Mode, while the 'CTXFIEMu' files match Entertainment Mode and the 'CTXFIGMu' files match Game Mode.
The *.ini files are text files containing mixer information for each mode, and the *.rfx files are binary files. I suspect the *.rfx files may be related to the programmable nature of the audio chip, but I haven't messed around with them too much since it is outside the scope of my abilities.
The CTXFISPI.EXE process is making the reads and writes to these files, which seems to indicate that it does the dirty work when it comes to changing the modes of the card.
If the community can determine how to encourage CTXFISPI.EXE to switch modes (or if Creative decides to be forthcoming with the details), then third party apps can be developed to make the switch easier (tray app menu), faster (no animations), more efficient, and seamless (a scriptable method for changing modes would be great!).
Additionally, it shouldn't be too hard to make software which allows for per user mixer settings with the X-Fi. It is only a matter of switching in a particular user's *.ini and *.rfx files to the Modes directory before CTXFISPI.EXE loads them at log in, and then saving the same files again at log off.
So, I have a request for Creative: would you please release some documentation about how to switch modes programmatically or even from the command line?
I'm also throwing out this challenge to the community: if Creative is unable or unwilling to release the information needed, then let's get under the hood of the X-Fi and decode mode switching ourselves. If someone can expose how mode switching works, then I would be more than happy to whip up an interface for it.
Drailex_Mauder

I have created a quick fix for the lack of mode switching options currently available. I would like to program something more feature rich in C, but for now VBScript is better than nothing. If we don't get a leg up from Creative, it may be a while as I will have to look into reverse engineering the software. This would require learning some new skills on my part.
These scripts work by loading the Creative Audio Console and pushing the appropriate keystrokes to change the mode. It is a dirty way to get the job done, but until more is known about how to change modes through CTXFISPI.EXE these scripts will have to do.
I am releasing these scripts under a BSD licence, which appears at the end of this message. Kinda silly for such small blocks of code, but it's there more to cover my assets with the legal disclaimer than anything else.
Copy each block of code into a separate text file and make sure that the file name ends in a VBS extension. Any up to date 2000 or XP machine should run these scripts no problem. I have placed shortcuts to the scripts in my Quick Launch Toolbar so that I can quickly change modes.
You could also add them to a script which switches to game mode, runs your game, and then switches back to entertainment mode.
VERY IMPORTANT: The Creative Audio Console must not be running when you run one of these scripts, otherwise the script will randomly change your settings.
And once again, if anyone can assist in determining how to coax CTXFISPI.EXE into switching modes, this will take things a long way to creating 3rd party mode switching software which meets the goals of my original post in this thread.

X-Fi Mode Switcher won't work in XP non-admin accou

I have installed X-Fi extreme music on my WinXP SP2 machine. Both audio console and the graphical console launcher/mode-switcher won't work properly in non-admin accounts. It will be "stuck" in one mode and whatever I do, it refuses to change to another mode.
Both work fine when I use the admin account. Please help. Thanks in advance.

Unfortunatly Im a greedy cuss and won't share my computer with anyone so I'm running in more or less Admin 24/7 and not ran into the issue. I think there is a setting in XP that you can change that will allow non-admins to make changes to the system. You might check User settings for the account in the "User Accounts" in control panel. Will see if I can find some info on it for you but you can also check MS Knowledgebase.

X-FI mode switching broke after win upd

Windows update came up with an auto update for the Windows Media Player, and the mode switching broke on the soundcard. Musicmatch broke as well, and wouldn't get past the start screen. After uninstalling musicmatch, and uninstalling the sound card via the cd, and then updating the x-fi over the web, I still get the same message:
The audio device is not supported by the apllication. The application will exit. Or I get a chooser asking me to select the right audio device, anbd the only entry is Follow Windows Default.
Any help with this? Is anyone else having this problem?
TIA

OIk, checked a feew things. Firstly, it had a shared IRQ after I installed the intel chipset stuff. I went ahead and moved the card to another slot, it reassigned as IRQ 4 in the bios, and 22 in the OS. Still plays system sounds, and WMP, but no creative or Musicmatch.
Creative Diagnostics says this about it
Why is it showing hardware disabled?
Device name: - Creative X-Fi Audio Processor (WDM)
Hardware location: - PCI bus 2, device , function 0
Status: - Device driver is loaded. - Device is configured. - Device can be rebalanced.
Problem: - Device has no problem.
Device capabilities:- Hardware disabled
Hardware ID: - PCI\VEN_02&DEV_0005&SUBSYS_00202&REV_00
Compatible ID: - PCI\VEN_02&DEV_0005&REV_00
System resources
IO ports used: - DCE0 - DCFF
IRQ channels used: - 22
Memory addresses used: - FBC00000 - FBDFFFFF - F4000000 - F7FFFFFF

I am sure it is a pretty simple problem. The app that keeps popping up when the error msg is generated is CTaudsel. It has it's own directory under creative, and when run directly, shows only :Follow Windows Default.
When the system was first reinstalled, the selector had all choices, including modem, and SB XCCO listed. I have no idea why they disappeared, but I think it was when the Intel Bus installed on the same IRQ, after upgrading the chipset drivers and installing the USB hub. It must have overwritten a file somewhere. Where? I don't know. IF I do happen to find a solution to this I will make sure and post it, as I know there are a couple of other people here having this problem, and there hasn't been an answer posted for it yet that I am aware of. Any pointers in any direction may help.
One more thing. I know both times the problem happened, I noticed it after playing videos from the browser, using the embedded WMP as a player. May be why there is a problem in the first place? Dunno.
TIA

X-Fi Mode Switching and XP File Permissi

I have my file permissions locked down pretty tightly for all accounts except the Administrator. This is great for preventing major file system meltdowns whenever my wife picks up an email virus, but it can also make trouble now and then. The X-Fi appears to fall into the file restrictions trap.
The card: XtremeMusic
The issue: I cannot change the current mode unless I am running an account with unlimited write access to my hard dri've (in this case, my administrator account).
I have determined this is a file permissions problem by creating an account which is part of the administrators group, but which has limited write access to the hard dri've. If it was a registry problem then this test account would switch modes no problem since it has the same access to the registry as any administrator. Additionally, if I give unlimited write access to any account which can't switch modes, it suddenly can switch modes no problem.
I have tried making the Creative folder in 'Program Files' write accessible by all user accounts, but this does not do the trick. There are several Creative files within the 'Windows' folder, and I have a suspicion that I need to give write access to something here, but it is not immediately self evident.
Does anyone know which files and folders specifically require write access for X-Fi mode switching to work? Is there any documentation about how mode switching is achieved (write a file, change a registry value, push data directly to the card)?
Thanks.

pjt23,
Funny you should mention that, I continued my search for the answer while waiting for potential replies, so I downloaded FileMon and picked away at the output. My discovery was useful.
It seems that when modes are changed CTXFISPI.EXE reads and writes files in this directory:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Creative\Spi\
{00000005-00000000-00000007-000002-00000005-00202}\Modes
If you think like me, you might have made the 'All Users' folder read only to prevent the technically inept members of your household from breaking things. Unfortunately, this prevents CTXFISPI.EXE from reading and writing the files it needs to change modes.
To fix this scenario, you don't need to make the entire 'All Users' folder generally writable, you only need to make sure that the above 'Modes' subfolder is writeable by all users that need to change modes. Most likely, you will want to give either 'Everyone' or 'Authenticated Users' full access to this folder.
If the reader doesn't know how to do this then it probably doesn't apply (since the file permissions should be set as their defaults), however, if you want to learn something new then I suggest you search "xp file permissions tutorial" on Google and do some reading.
Of course, this information will only be relevant for Windows XP Pro users (and maybe Windows 2000, but I haven't confirmed). Sorry if you have XP Home, but setting file permissions is a real drag which requires you to boot into safe mode. It is highly unlikely that file permissions are your problem if you can't switch modes when using XP Home.
The interesting part of all this is that it implies that there must be a way to invoke CTXFISPI.EXE to make mode changes. If we can determine how it works, then the community can work on third party apps which allow mode changes through scripts or a tray app menu.
I'm going to spawn a new thread with this information to see if it goes anywhere.

Debug mode switches off after clicking button

Hi there,
I am trying to use Debug Mode in order to track down a problem, but when I click an application button on a page Debug Mode is being turned off so I do not get the debug output that I am after.
In brief, I am doing the following:
1) Editing the page in Application Builder
2) Clicking the "Run" button to run the page
3) Clicking the "Debug" button to turn Debug Mode on. The page is then redisplayed with debug ouput among the page items.
4) I then type some text into some fields in a form region and click a button in the same region to create a record. The same page is then redisplayed but Debug Mode has now been turned off!
I then tried something similar using the example ORDERS schema under a different workspace and username, and this time Debug Mode remained switched on until I switched it off explicitly.
Is there something I have to do to keep Debug Mode switched on?
Regards.
John.

John,
The branch defined on the page determines whether the current setting of &DEBUG. is used in the URL redirected to. Normally, that wouldn't be set. You'd have to edit the branch (and make it an f?p URL with &DEBUG. or YES in the debug position.

Play mode switch

I am pretty sure I know the answer to this, but I thought I'd ask anyway.
I have a first generation shuffle. I'm not sure how it happened, but I just noticed today that my play mode switch (to toggle between playing songs in order or shuffled) is loose and it is now stuck in shuffle mode. I'm the type who prefers to listen to songs in the order I put them in, so you can see how this would be a problem for me :P
Is there any way to fix this? There's nothing else wrong with it so I'd hate to have to get a new one just because of this, but I'm thinking I would have to if I want that functionality back.
Thanks!

Sorry!
No biggie: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iPod/iPod-Shuffle-2nd-Generation/Disassembly/100/1/

HOWEVER... IF yours is less than 1 year old, you can get it replaced under warranty.

Shortcut to mode switcher included where?

I have a SB X-fi Xtreme Gamer, and the retail CD installation dont work longer since i
now have got myself windows 7
This mean i must install everything related to this card directley from internet, and according to my
occular scans i dont find one tool that was present on my CD, that tool gave the user a system
tray switch mode(entertainment, gaming) button
Mow i must sitt here and launch the "creative console launcher" to reach the switch button,
and unfortentley for me this console loads wery slow to start with, and i need a reminder
visible on my desktop that i should switch mode fitting my various tasks.
Its possible it wasnt in system tray this mode switcher was located in the first place?
(i just have a vague memory) it could also been through? creative "GO?" slider on the top of the screen that launced everytime windows started, no installation from creative site have have asked me to bring this little **bleep** back
So i wanna know if there exist any downloadable mode switch console alike for Xfi?
that are compatible with my Xtrem Gamer edition?
http://support.creative.com/Products...Fi+XtremeGamer
Sorry forry possible crap spelling, i cant use "spellbound" on this site!

Thank you for the feedback, but actually I mean this feature:
http://support.creative.com/kb/ShowA....aspx?sid=0838?
As you can see - there are three SB modes X_Fi processor offer:
- Entertainment
- Game
- Audio Creation
For whatever reason it seems only "Entertainment" mode was installed with HP driver and most probably this is yet another Creative cheat - they sell virtally the same box with feature stripped drivers as varius "labels" - one addressed to music listeners another one to gamers and another one to amateur musicians. If you want to listen music during daytime and play game on evening - you need to buy two separate cards or some mega-expensi've "Extrema Ultra Whatever X-Fi"...

Yoga Tablet 10" - update to Android 4.4 and further problems with Google Music

Hi everyone.
I've just upadated my Yoga Tablet 10" to Android 4.4. Whole process went smoothly but afterwards I'm experiencing some problems with Google Music. Playback is "skippy" or "choppy", even if whole song is downloaded. Every 15-25 seconds there small pause, which is quite annoying.
Local music files (uploaded through usb) seem to work just fine.
I've even tried resetting whole device to factory settings but without any success.
I also have an impression that youtube playback is not so smooth as it used to be in Android 4.2...
Has anyone experienced something similar? Any hints or sollutions?
