Multi Media Audio Control

I have just recieved my new X-FI Exteme Gamer and installed it into my system. Currently I am running Vista Home Premium 64 bit and have down loaded all the current updated files from the Creative website.
However I cannot get the device working as all I keep getting is the message saying the Multimedia audio controller for this device is missing. This means the PC will not recognoise the hardware and its not working. I have used the installation disk and every other file from the down load website.
Please could someone offer a light at the end of the tunnel and provide a solution? This is very annoying and without this MAC then this piece of equipment is useless and technically not fit for purpose.
I know a bit of a rant but its very annoying. Please HELP!!!!
Thanks

Sorry creative I have checked online for a solid 2 days and found nothing. Your hardware / driver support is a sham, customers deserve a better service from a supplier of history.
Due to the fact I could not get the card working it has been returned and a new card is now on the way. I believe its made by ASUS
Thanks for wasting my time.

Bluetooth won't pair both audio and phone. Car multi-media in range and turned on?

I have iOS 8.1.3. Can no longer use both phone and audio- it disconnects one to pair the other and doesn't allow both. Error message says make sure car multi-media is turned on, in range, and ready to use.

Thanks Peter! I had done that before multiple times with no success- even turning off bluetooth and the phone in hopes for a reset; I called Apple and my rad service person Shaquita requested I turn off my wireless, reset my network, and try again. That worked and both the audio and the phone paired. Have a great day! Hopefully this helps others with the same issue; but I understand that the bluetooth may kick out again and I may have to repeat this process. Kind regards, Angela

Does Mac have any plans to create and/or update drivers for multi-media hardware that is useless to me after "upgrading" to Mavericks? This is a waste of money for free..

I have found that since I "upgraded" to Mavericks, many pieces of audio hardware that was compatable with snow leopard is not compatable with mavericks. these machines are supposed to be the best for multi-media, now, without any warning, Mac has really messed this up. What are they thinking. I just converted from PC. Was it a $3000 mistake. MAC....Get BUsy, It can't be that hard to create some drivers that are compatable with common and popular pieces of hardware needed to do the projects I bought this thing for!!!!

similar problem here. running the latest 13 inch mbpr and ableton live software, mavericks obvsly.
experiencing crashes only with external soundcards attached. it happened with a usb interface (NI audio 2 dj) and with a echo audiofire 2 (firewire through thunderbold adapt.)
keyboard and trackpad got unresponsive after the crash with the usb interface as they run on the usb buss I suppose.
This is interesting: If i m running usb or firewire interfaces plugged in to my thunderbold display at home - i get 0 problems. it just works 100%
so what does this tell us? is the hardware of the macbook defective?
but why does the FW interface crash then when attached to the computer directly and not if attached to the display?
this is extremely frustrating. basically my job is using this machine on stage and i cant use it. i m back to my 2007 macbook now running 10.6, thinking about getting a USED machine which was before mavericks and haswell - think these are the issues and what i would like to know:
WILL THERE EVER BE A FIX FOR THIS ON THE LATE 2013 MBPr??

Searching multi-media content in IFS

Is it possible to search multi-media content
in IFS? For example:
"Find all audio clips with a trumpet in it",
or - "Find all video clips with whales in it"??
Any help in answering this would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,

(Hey, here's proof that I really do search the archives before posting. :-))
Moments ago, I was asked ...
Do you know if Oracle UCM has the capability to do speech recognition & transcription of audio and video files, and then make that transcription searchable?
So somebody checks in a piece of video, which presumably passes through FlipFactory on a refinery: can FlipFactory do anything fancy with the audio portion?
Likewise, if someone checks in an MP3 file, has anyone figured out how to get the content server to pass it through speech recognition and index the result?
My gut call would be to start out by passing, say, an MP3 file through some speech recognition software that produces an N%-accurate text file (before working with the content server). Then one approach would be to checkin in the MP3 & text file as the primary & alternate files respectively for a new content item: the content server would then index the alternate file, would it not? Another approach would be to create a folio of these two separate items.
Perhaps searching the recognized speech of a video clip could work in a similar fashion?
How did you solve this issue? :-)
Thanks!

Multi channel audio outputs from a laptop such as 5.1 or 7.1

is it possible to get multi channel audio outputs from a laptop such as 5.1 or 7.1 for watching Movies or television while using Windows media Center.

Ok so i order to help anyone who is interested.
The only ironic solution to this problem i found was to use a plugin called xto7 to convert the xml to the old fcp7 format.
i then imported this into premiere pro.
this was then able to export an OMF that when imported into logic 10 that was using the correct 6ch mono setting as separate tracks.
Insane but it works until Apple fixes the incorrect meta data import in FCPX that sets the xml export to the default import that is always surround.
this is the only way i was able to send stems with all the edit points and fades for the sound editor.
If you don't have premiere lying around you maybe able to do it with fcp7 too we just didn't have it in this studio.
Fingers crossed Apple fixes the fcpx xml export.

Is anyone out there recording multi player audio sessions on logic

I using an apogee 24 input system (symphony), logic 8.01. osx 10.4.11, macpro 2x266, 3 gig. I have been running logic for about 2 years. I am a big fan of the features and the especially the sound of logic.
I have been recording multi player sessions (session players and bands) in Pro tools TDM and HD for many years and would love to work strictly in logic.
I have recently been experimenting with recording some multi player audio/midi sessions with Logic. something like:
drums-10 audio inputs
bass-2 audio inputs
acou gtr 2 audio inputs
ele gtr 2 audio inputs
keys -midi controller-virtual inst.
click/loop-virtual inst
The Apogee hardware seems to be very solid ,and sounds great but I have run into some difficulties with logic's interface in these multi-player sessions.
1. The record enable status of various channels can be accidently turned on or off by selecting another channel. this makes it very tricky to adjust monitor volumes,sends, inserts and so on when trying to set-up a mix for the players.
2. when punching in and out there is a gap (hic-up) in the audio playback shortly after you punch out and also an artifact (small region) is often generated at the point of the punch out. ----set-up: punch on the fly,auto input, replace record.
3. after making a pass with the band and attempting listen. the faders are not active (on audio channels only) while the channels are record armed. So if one wants to adjust a playback/monitor volume the track has to be taken out of record ready which cuts the line of comunication between the players and the control room.
4. there are some serious problems editing audio on grouped channels. IE. group all drums and cut up the regions and do various edits the regions with-in the groups sometime don't act like they are grouped.
There seems to be little or no discussion of multi-player audio recording in any of the forums.
Is anyone out there tracking in a similar set-up and if so are any of these things causing problems for you
Thanks

thanks for the response
I do use the group record enable at times but the group situation in Logic is pretty cumbersome and often times one or more of the group may not be included in the current take so it ends up being a wash as far as convienence goes.
the independent monitoring status is great for what it is intended for but does not affect the situation of the faders not functioning when you monitor audio previously recorded on a record enabled track.
this problem did not exist in lp7 so I feel that it is an oversight or something that fell through the cracks on LP8
my set up is- replace record, auto input and I always have punch on the fly activated. Something I didn't mention in my earlier post about my set-up is, I am using software monitoring. The apogee symphony card is designed and has the speed to through put with about the same(1.6 millsec.)time delay as protools hd. Because I am recording 16 to 20 tracks at once in the box It seems to make sense to work this way. The apogee set-up I am using is 24 in and only 8 out.
with this set-up The hic-cup happens every time just shortly after punch out. this happens on every logic set-up I have ever used in various studios and hardware including an logic demo set-up by apple that I recently went to.
please check it out, it's a simple test
punching in and out is such an important part of audio recording it should be totaly seamless
these problems can be fixed, so I am just trying to raise the awareness of these issues
thanks

How do i turn car multi media on

i finally got my iphone 5 connected to my cars bluetooth however now the music audio wont stream through the blue tooth... i receive a message saying to make sure my car multi media is turned on or within distance...can you connect so both work w/out disconnecting the other?

Now I hope someone knows how to help you with this issue, but I did want to mention that even though it makes no since, some folks have said they had to purchase one song on iTunes and then their Bluetooth auto pairing worked for all functions. Believe me, I hate even typing this, but the threads are out there somewhere saying it worked for them.

Lost Beats Audio Control Panel, Windows Experience Index and HP Power Manager on fresh install...

HP Pavilion m6-1035dx, product B5S06UA#ABA
Please help! I installed a 240gb SanDisk Extreme SSD and a fresh install of Win 7 home premium 64-bit OEM. I did not reinstall the factory OS and all that goes along with it. I have managed to reinstall all drivers (it seems) but am having the following problems: 1) I have installed IDT HD Audio Driver sp56953 but it does not provide the Beats Audio control panel, any idea how to get it? 2) The Windows Experience Index will not provide a performance evaluation, something in the system is providing it with an error message when it attempts to rate the system and it stops. 3) I have installed HP Power Manager sp57398 and can bring up the control panel but the changes I indicate will not stay applied, when I bring up Power Manager again it show that no selections are made. I knew this fresh install was going to provide headaches, please help if you can. Thanks.

I suspect this may all be related to a common cause.
When updating the windows experience index, what is the error message you receive?
Has the video card driver been installed? It is necessary for the windows experience index to complete.
Also, ensure the HP Software Framework is installed. It is under the Software Solutions category.
You did a clean install of Windows 7. Has all the software and drivers for Windows 7 from HP been installed? Here is a link should you need it.

Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro and Inspire T7700 does not recognize Mic on Audio Control

Hi folks,
I decided to hook up my headphone and mic sets to the Audio Control Pod for the first time recently to chat online. I'm not sure if I ever tried this when I bought the Inspire T7700 speaker system, but I cannot seem to get any voice to come through in Windows' Sound Recorder (the headphones work fine). I'm hoping that someone here can help...otherwise, I suppose I'll have to find an alternate solution than using my soundcard system.
Here are some specs:
OS: Windows XP SP2 and all current updates
Soundcard: Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro
Speakers: Inspire T7700 with Audio Control Pod (contains the headphone and mic jack)
Here's what I have tried:
. Updated drivers to: SBAX_WBUP2_LB_2_09_006.exe
2. Tested headsets and mics out on another one of my computers with a SoundBlaster Li've. They work fine.
3. Set each audio source with full volume in the Recording Control window as the source while recording in Windows' Sound Recorder (I know some of these aren't right, but I tried them all nonetheless):
- MIDI Synth
- Line-In 3
- Line-In /Mic (this should be the one, I think)
- S/PDIF-In
- Auxiliary (this might be the one for the Audio Control Pod)
- "What U Hear"
- Line-In 2
- CD Digital
- Wave
4. Installed the Creative software from the official CD to manage the audio and speaker settings. Retested the same as item 3 above within this software. Same results.
5. Disconnected the external I/O hub (since I am connecting to the Audio Control Pod, which connects to the speaker system and then my sound card). Interestingly, the Line-In /Mic input disappeared. All that I saw for an input (I believe) was Auxiliary. I tried even that as noted in item 3, but nothing.
Has anyone had any luck in getting a mic from a headphone set to work with the Audio Control Pod for the Inspire T7700 speaker system along with the Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Read the FAQ on top of the soundcard forum concerning SPDIF and digital out. The reason is very easy to find out if you read that. In short: the digital out can only send out a PCM stereo signal (which is why you only get FL/FR sound) and an encoded AC-3 signal.

H8-1287 Beats Audio controls do not work in Windows 8.1

I've upgraded to Windows 8.1 and installed the IDT High-Definition audio driver from HP's website. The surround sounds seems to be working but the controls do not work to modify the EQ etc. I've seen the problem has been resolved for Envy laptops but all the links for the software appear to only be for the notebooks and not compatible with my desktop system. I've downloaded the available software (IDT High-Definition Audio driver) found under my HPE HI-1287 product from HP's support site but the Beats audio control panel doesn't seem to make any sound quality changes. Hopefully there is a driver somewhere compatible with my desktop system that allows controling the audio properly. Thanks.

Hello @KICR,
I understand that the Beats Audio Console is not adjusting the audio settings on your HP Pavilion HPE h8-1287c Desktop PC running Windows 8.1. According to the HP Pavilion HPE h8-1287c Desktop PC Drivers page there are no Windows 8.1 drivers for your computer. I can only assume that this means your computer is currently using Windows default drivers or Windows 8 drivers and the Beats Audio Console is not able to interact properly with the currently installed driver.
All I can recommend is that you check back periodically to the drivers page I linked above and see if Windows 8.1 drivers have been created. Other than that your only option at this time would be to use the HP Support document: Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8) to restore your computer back to Windows 8 where the Beats Audio Console has drivers that are compatible.
I hope this helps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

How to determine the length of a line of text in a multi line text control

I am working on a simple widget to compare two snippets of text. The string controls are side by side with a colum of square bools in between
the two string controls.
The Bools line up with the lines of text in each string control. The Bools are used as a quick indicator that at that line point there is a difference
between the two string controls.
There is a slider that allows the user to scroll up and down, the slider scrolls both string controls simutaneously.
As the string controls are scrolled I will be comparing the left and right lines of text and reflecting the match status in the Bool Colum.
The reason I need to know the length of the line of text is so each line can be compared against one another. It is not as simple as counting the
col width of the string control and parsing the text because if there is a line return the text will word wrap before before it extends all the way accross the string control, which will cause parsing discrepencies.
Any suggestions on obtaining the multi line string control text character length would be much appreciated.
Best Regards
Tim C.

Will Soundtrack Pro allow me to master multi-track audio CD?

Please help! I have been looking for the past 4 days for a multi-track audio editing software that will allow me to burn multiple tracks to a CD. Here's what I'm trying to do: I have a 45 minute message and I want to fade a song in at the beginning, and another song fading out at the end. Then I want to place markers every 10 minutes, split into separate tracks, and burn the whole thing to CD from within that software (possibly I can fudge on this last one by exporting each individual track to iTunes, then making a playlist, but if Soundtrack Pro or some other program can do it all, then that is what I prefer!)
I tried Audacity, and it was close to what I wanted, but when I exported into iTunes the last 20 seconds of every song dropped audio! I have also tried the following and these are the errors/difficulties I encountered:
• Amadeus II : No multi-track mixing capability
• Cacophony: kept crashing, multiple error messages
• Jasmine: unique tape-style interface, but again, no multi-track export
• Sound Studio 3: good interface, easy marking, but no sound after export
• Snd Sampler: only one sound can be open at a time
• Deck LE: wouldn't even open one of my audio files!
So now my attention is on Soundtrack Pro and Logic Pro. Both of these seem like they will have what I need, but I'm going to have to fork over a pretty penny. Which is better and will either do multi-track mixing to CD?
Thank you so much to anyone who will read through my whole ordeal and help me out with their musical expertise and sound audio advice!
Sincerely,
Paul

Hello,
I thank you both for the help you've given, and I have obtained STP and really enjoy using it, but I am still disappointed that it will not allow me to master multiple tracks. For instance in Audacity, there is the export multiple command that splits one long song up according to the markers that you placed and then exports them as several different files. In STP, this same process is amazingly difficult, you have to take the razor tool, cut each section, drag it down to another track, then put a stop song marker after the cut section, then select each track and "export selected". (Do you know of an easier way?) Now for a $1200 dollar program that is just a little bit ridiculous, why cannot Apple just have a command to export by markers? Where can I go to request this feature be implemented?
Here's an example of what I am looking for, with features such as Redbook CD mastering (but this software is too buggy)

Front Row - Mac Mini - and PowerBook G4, Mac-Mini Multi Media centre.

I will be purchasing a HDTV is the near future and would like to buy a Mac Mini to complement it. ( then sell my DVD player )
The big question are:
-Can I ( using Front Row ) stream AVI data (film) from my PB G4 to my Mac-Mini and watch the content on my new HDTV. ( over AirPort )
-Do I need to buy a new PB that also has Front Row ? ( I hope not )
-What type of video data can I stream ? (iTunes and iPhoto I already know about)
-What about HD DVD's when they come out. Is the drive in the Mac-Mini HD DVD compatible ?( I don't think so )
Please - If you have any other relevant points or question's about the Mac-Mini usage as a multi media centre, Post them here.
15" PB G4 SD 1.5 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.5)

I just tried a AVI film and it work's with QT,
although a mpg film did not.
Now that I think about it, I tried a mpg plug-in for
QT and was disappointed.
Has anyone had any success with such a plug-in ?
Another Question:
Must then this AVI data reside in iTunes for
Front-Row to "see" it ? How does this work ?
I guess that when a Blue-Ray drive is added to Apple
products that a HD DVD will not play, or will it play
it but only burn Blue-Ray ?
When shopping for a HDTV I asked about the difference
in Blue-Ray and HD and he told me that the TV will
play both versions.
I hope that the drive will also play both, although
the way I know Apple it will be Blue-Ray only. (
at-least in the beginning ) Remember DVD-R
i would not worry about the blu-ray - HD-DVD thing right now. too much still in the air. once they realize consumers are too un-techie to figure it out and just continue to buy DVD's their will be a standard plus their is already other formats being developed. then if you talking about movies and such my guess is downloaded content is the way apple will go with an itunes movie store but thats my guess.
but yes, HDTV's will play either, its the player. I have a 61" samsung 720p DLP and my new mac mini looks good on it at 1280x720. front row is great. I also watched a ton of HD trailers from quicktime's website and they were amazing.
and from what i have seen from front row it only shows content that is in itunes or iphoto not random folders but i could be wrong, still palying around with it.

Hi,
Try using Recovery Manager to reinstall the IDT HD Audio Driver ( this will also reinstall the Beats Audio interface ) - the procedure for using recovery manager to reinstall Software and Drivers is detailed in the document on the link below.
Recovery Manager - Windows 8.
Recovery Manager - Windows 7
After the reinstallation has completed, restart the PC.
