MSN Messenger stops Creative Mediasource Pla

My 24 Li've External card works perfectly well with Media source player - until - I log on to MSN Messenger v.7. Then my PC tells me there is no sound device installed. Device manager tells me the device is working probably. I am fed up using System Restore. Any help guys?

In Device Manager under Sound, Video and Game Controllers I have: - Audio CodecsLegacy Audio Di'versLegacy Video Capture devicesMedia Control DevicesRealtek AC'97 AudioSound Blaster Li've! 24 bit externalVideo Codecs?Sound Blaster Li've properties says that the device is working properly - which it is at the moment. The loss of sound is frequent, on booting up. Once it is on it does not "fail" whilst in use. It?comes back after using system restore, re-installing the soundblaster software or sometimes just on rebooting.
?The Sound Blaster is always shown as "working properly" even when it is not?

Petition for last.fm plugin for creative mediasource pla

If you want a plugin for Last.fm's audioscrobbler for your creative mediasource player, please post in this thread...once, please do not submit posts for any other reason
signature # - the_can

As a Last.FM moderator we see quite a lot of threads and requests passing by for a pplugin that would allow people to "scrobble" the tracks they played on any of Creatives MP3-players. (Take a look at http://www.last.fm/forum/276/_/26462, for example). The problem Last.FM faces here is that, by the looks of it, getting a timestamped log-file from plays on a Creative-player is not possible (don't quote me here, I am just the messenger, and have hardly any knowledge concerning the plugins...)I do know that there is a community that is pretty positi've about Last.FM and that moderators nor staff can help them here. Perhaps the nice people developing the software for your players might want to take a look at the site and decide that it might be a nice idea to open up the software a bit, or develop a plugin themselfs. It might prevent people (like me) from buying an iPod, which does allow me to submit my listened songs to the site...

Ogg support for Creative MediaSource Pla

Hi I just started using the Creative MediaSource Player that came with the Soundblaster X-Fi Plantinum and I am trying to find out if there is ogg support for it. It doesn't seem to recognize ogg files. Does anyone know of a plugin or some way to enable ogg support for it.
Thanks,
Travis

Cannot play audio CD with Creative MediaSource Pla

Hi All,
I recently installed an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum soundcard and the Creative MediaSource Player software. I also purchased Creative 5. Analog speakers. Have everything configured pretty well now and really enjoying the enhanced sounds!
My problem is that I cannot play audio CDs using the MediaSource Player. I can see my DVD Player and CD Player in the MediaSource Player 'Source' column and a list of all the tracks on the CD. (no track info, just track numbers and length)
When I double-click on a track it cycles through all the tracks and then places an 'X' next to each one in the 'Now Playing' list window. If I have other music files from my harddri've available, it will start playing one of them.
I've tried different CDs with the same results.
I can use both the DVD and CD dri'ves to play an audio CD if I use any other player (Winamp, Windows Media Player, etc.) and use both dri'ves everyday for loading software and reading files. It will also read the demo DVD Audio disk that came with the card using the DVD-Audio player they provide so I'm pretty sure there's nothing wrong with the hardware or drivers.
I've read all the info that came with the card and on the Creative Web site and have been through every configuration screen multiple times but haven't found a switch that turns this feature on.
Would like to get this working so I can standardize on one player that allows me to use all the advanced features of my new card.
Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this.

A good way to see what kinds of things you might need for something like vlc is to look at the optional dependencies for the package. So if you do pacman -Qi vlc if the package is installed on your system already, or pacman -Si vlc if not yet installed, you can see in the output what kinds of optional dependencies there are. Typically there is a short description of the extra functionality that the optional dependency can provide as well.
So in the case of vlc (and the libcdio optional dep) I get:
$ pacman -Qi vlc
Name : vlc
<SNIP>
Optional Deps : avahi: for service discovery using bonjour protocol [installed]
<SNIP SOME MORE>
projectm: for ProjectM visualisation plugin
libcaca: for colored ASCII art video output [installed]
libgme: for libgme plugin [installed]
librsvg: for SVG plugin [installed]
gnome-vfs: for GNOME Virtual File System support
libgoom2: for libgoom plugin
vcdimager: navigate VCD with libvcdinfo [installed]
xosd: for xosd support
aalib: for ASCII art plugin [installed]
libmtp: for MTP devices support [installed]
smbclient: for SMB access plugin [installed]
libcdio: for audio CD playback support [installed]
ttf-freefont: for subtitle font
ttf-dejavu: for subtitle font [installed]
opus: for opus support [installed]
libssh2: for sftp support [installed]

Creative Mediasource Pla

When I click on the icon I get an error message that says 
Creative MediaSource Player has encountered a problem and needs to close.

I deleted files and folders under "C:\Documents and Settings\YourName\Application Data\Creative\ Mediasource but it didn't fix the problem. The problem started this morning. I have been having a lot of problems with static in the sound on my MS Flight Simulator (FS2004) program so I updated my creative drivers online and this problem began. I tried uninstalling the new drivers and loading the old ones from my installation CD but that did not help. I ran the creative diagnostics and it says the SoundFont fails. Running the fix does not help. It still fails the test. I tried restoring defaults from the start menu and got an error message there also. Audio HQ, Surround Mixer, EAX console etc. nothing will execute.

Yes, I know. Your wondering why I even ask then. But I just can't help wondering what the heck it is. I also asked tech support and requested screen shots of it--they sounded very interested. So now I am curious as to what they might say.

MSN Messenger stopped working

Until couple days ago I could be able to use MSN messenger (8.0 beta)...All of a sudden without any change I got the following message, when I try to logon:
"Sign in to Messenger failed because the service is not responding. The service is not available or you may not be connected to Internet"
Any idea?

Hello,
This forum is for troubleshooting compatibility issues between Mac OS and Windows and not related to Messenger. Please post Messenger related questions on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac products.

Good luck...

Re: creative mediasource pla

After I shut down Media Player, Surround Mixer, and the Equalizer, how do I get it to startup in the same position it was in when I shut it down? I am getting tired of having to reposition the windows everytime. And since I always use these three apps, is there a way to start all three with one click aside from placing all of them in the StartUp folder and having it start upon boot up?
Thanks

My Creative Cam wont work properly in MSN Messenger! I cant get the effects to work PLEASE HELP!

When I open the webcam centre everything works fine I can get all the effects...BUT when I open messenger (MSN) I get a good picture but when I open the effects window I cant get the effects to work in there.... I went to the creative site which tells me I can use this cam ok in MSN Messenger....Please help before I pull my hair outThankyouBillie-Jean x

I had the exact same issue but finally after much reading found that the Advanced Video FX utility must be activated first, then open the Web Cam Center.
On the upper left side just above your image is a Device Selection box. You may not redily recognize it as such.. Click on the down arrow just to the left of the Format tab and select the "Creative WebCam(With Video Effects)". Now try the effects. This did the trick for me. Hope it works for you!

'Creative Mediasource Organizer' Folders and the ZEN V pla

Using the Creative Mediasource Organizer, I've set up a few Folders on the 'Creative Zen V' player but when I undock the player and use it to find and play the songs, they're not organized by the Folders. In fact, I don't the folder 'structure' at all. Is there a way I can see and use my folder structure I've set up for the player? and, if not, then why does the Organizer enable me to set up folders?Thanks.

Folders on the device are merely for your own convenience and organization. The device relies solely on ID TAGS on how it plays and displays the various tracks. You will need to get your tracks in order and edit the tags.

Creative MediaSource stopped recognizing my Zen Micro after.........

....... I downloaded the new firmware! Why is this?

LakeTahoeGuy wrote:OK, i downloaded that new driver, but the problem still exists! When the download finished it said I had to plug-in my device, which I did, but the only thing that happened was a window came up that id'd my Zen micro as "MTP Media Player" and said "Windows can perform the same action each time you connect this device. What do you want windows to do?" and i have 3 options "Sync your music using Napster", Synchronize media files to this device using Windows Media Player", and "Take no action". It gives me no option for Creative MediaSource!! It did not have this window pop up, nor did it ID my player as "MTP Media Player" prior to my downloading the new firmware onto my Player! What is going on?
If you launched MediaSource after you have installed the plugin that I mentioned, are you able to see your Zen Micro in MediaSource?

Zen Micro is detected by Creative MediaSource Organizer or Windows Media Pla

Well, I have read through a good part of the message forum and have found nothing to help my case and I believe, truly believe that I have tried everything!

My Zen Micro is detected by my computer and when plugged in I am prompted by MTP Media Player to
Launch Windows Media Player and synchronize files </LI>
Take no action</LI>

If choose to launch Windows Media Player it does not detect the portable device
If I choose to take no action and launch Creative MediaSource Organizer instead, the device is still not detected.

I have checked my Device Manager and it says that the device is working properly, drivers are installed (this is the most common problem ? but for me this is the part that is working correctly).

When I open the Zen Micro Media Explorer it tells me that the device is not connected. I cannot transfer music files with Windows Media Player or Creative MediaSource because both programs do not detect the Zen Micro.

I should note that the Zen Micro does work properly on another computer in my household.

Can someone please offer suggestions?
Thanks

Strange that WMP doesn't detect it, presumably you have v0? Worth checking the link "problems with connecting using MTP firmware" in the FAQ post and installing the hot fixes.
Also make sure you have the latest software with MTP updates, by downloading and installing the following:
. Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2
2. Creative MediaSource Plugin for PlaysForSure devices
3. Creative Zen Micro Media Explorer Web Update
Before installing connect the player to the PC. Then install 2 and 3 (the player must be connected for to verify you have a Creative product).

Ha ha ha! Sucess at last!
I got it working now!
I was missing a step in the second suggestion (link posted by DM) to edit the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\U SB and add "EVERYONE." Plus I didn't reboot right away! I guess that would help too. Sorry forgot to do that.
THANK YOU! The support on this fourm is wonderful! Glad to see the help is here for Creative products.

A_Player, A New Creative MediaSource Player S

Hmm, I don't believe this violates any rule or regulation (let me know if it does), but I skimmed through the configs for themes and decided I could make my own. It took hours and hours of digging through undocumented config files, but I think it was worth it.
There may be a few subtle quarks here or there, and it's not the shiniest skin, but it looks pretty good. Also, the layout of the buttons makes it much easier to use, in my opinion. The old skins seem so cluttered when I switch back to them. I think the main thing is that the 5 primary buttons (play, pause, stop, etc) are nice and big on left. Then, the lesser used buttons are neatly off to the side. Also, there is still a lot of room for the track title. I wouldn't use any other skin.
To install, download:A_Player.zip
Then extract to: C:\Program Files\Creative\MediaSource\Theme\
(or wherever your creative is installed to, it may vary from machine to machine, like F:\Program Files\Creative\MediaSource\Theme\ etc.)
Note: the top slider is the track progress, the bottom is the volume. (In record mode, the top is the record volume).
Enjoy!

It looks good.
