__**MY**__ SCP fix for Audigy 2 + Sempron and VIA chip

Hello all,
I've read most of the gigantic threads about SCP, tried many fixes, messed with a lot of settings and here's what fixed:
- Uninstall all programs and drivers for your soundcard (kX, CL, etc). Remeber to remove programs from "Add & Remove Programs" and uninstall your soundcard in Device Manager. I've used Driver Cleaner Pro from DriverHeaven to remove all trails of old drivers as well.
2 - Reboot. In BIOS, i've messed with delay PCI transaction, AGP fast write, AGP performance, PCI timing thing... and never made any difference. Right now i'm running PCI delay transaction DISABLED and PCI timing value 64.
3 - Boot into Win (using XP, dunno about Vista). Click cancel when it prompt to install the soundcard. If it automaticly installs the soundcard, uninstall it and make sure it stays dead.
4 - Install the latest kX package and drivers, currently 3538m (http://www.driverheaven.net/general-discussion/2897-3538m-released-5.html). I've only installed the required modules. Check each module description and it will tell you what's required.
5 - Probably reboot again here
6 - Back to Win, go into Control Panel > Sound and Audio Devices. In the audio and voice tabs, select the Wave __HQ__ for all devices except for 'midi music playback'.
Ok, so now, with a little bit of luck, SCP should be gone. If not, reboot and verify. I get a crack or a pop once in a while, but omg it was much worse. I have no idea why some settings make SCP worse and others aliviate the issue.
I'm sure a clear statement from someone that knows what's going on with the hardware itself is still missing. Anyway, feel free to include some _REAL_ and _DECENT_ info to this thread.
Regards,
mksm

It sounds like the driver installation is corrupt. Try uninstalling all your Creative software and then reinstalling it from the CD. The 5. option should reappear. Then you should be able to upgrade to the latest version via the web update.

  • A fast automatic tag fixer for owners of Zen and other tag based players

    Fast automatic tag fixer for owners of Zen and other tag based players.
    I've written a simple freeware utility for fixing mp3 tag discrepancies. It is intended for use before uploading a bunch of albums to a tag-only media player. There's like a million of such programs out there, but this one is based on my exprience with the Creative Zen player, so it could be useful for fellow owners of the device.
    First, the utility scans mp3 album folder tree looking for tag inconsistencies and suggesting corrections. After that you can review (and cancel/modify if needed) the corrections and apply the changes.
    The detected tag errors can be corrected either manually or semi-automatically with the integrated Discogs search. There's a tuneable compilation processing feature, which helps keep compilation albums in one piece on your player.
    You can check the utility out here http://taghycardia.narod.ru/english.html
    Feature suggestions, bug reports welcomed.

    The free program has been vastly updated since the last post.
    Now, it can find and embed cover art for mp3 albums automatically, or it can do the opposite, remove cover images from mp3 files if you need to save space on your player or mobile device. In addition, there is an ability to correct wrong track order automatically and get exact tracklists from Discogs.
    The URL is updated, too: http://taghycardia.info

  • Fix for owners of Desktops and Laptops for Time Machine Wirelessly

    Hey guys,
    I have a fix for you to use which works well for me. Thus far I have had zero problems with it, was even able to allow a full 50 GB backup over wireless (took forever, but its the principle of it) as well as incremental backups. It requires NO terminal or any other stuff, just clicking around in the interface. Here's the steps I went through:
    1.) Connect the Time Machine External Hard Drive to your desktop mac (any method, firewire preferred).
    2.) Connect and establish the time machine drive as a time machine backup drive on your desktop. Allow the desktop to sync and begin its backup to the drive.
    3.) Open your laptop
    4.) Open finder
    5.) Go to the "Shared" Section on the sidebar
    6.) Find your desktop mac, connect to it as a full user (not a guest)
    7.) Save the password, and make sure you have full access
    8.) Find the external Time Machine Drive on your desktop's "Shared" Menu (Should be the bottom folder, will have a "Web Globe" On it
    9.) Click the folder
    10.) An eject symbol should appear next to the Time Machine External Drive Folder on the desktop section (If you are in column view in Finder)
    11.) The drive should appear in your "Devices" Tab on the sidebar
    12.) Open Time Machine Preferences
    13.) Turn on Time Machine
    14.) Select your drive from the list (should just be one)
    15.) Allow the initial download to commence (upwards of 5 hours)
    After the initial backup, incremental backups aren't noticeable. In fact, clicking on the Time Machine icon in the dock will "search" for the backup drive even if you don't have it mounted from the beginning. Just make sure your desktop stays on when your laptop is on so that it can backup. I haven't noticed any lag in my internet either. Good luck, let me know if there are problems or if this works for you too.
    My specs:
    iMac G5 (iSight) 20" 10.5
    Macbook (White) 10.5
    External Hard Drive: Western Digital MyBook, 500GB Firewire 400/800/USB

    Edit: these are steps for making TM work with EHD attached to AEBS- not what I am saying we should do. BUT the step concerning "supported" drives might help alleviate unrecognized drives.
    Quoting this from Mac-Forums (which quoted from Apple forums I guess):
    "Another post:
    From user A@ron posted in MacRumors:
    TM working with airport disk in GM
    Well thank me later I got it working fellas. It was there in front of our faces with the exception of doing a chown and chmod.
    Someone else please confirm I will post steps.
    1) disconnect airport disk and plug into computer as a USB drive directly.
    2) Set up time machine to use this volume.
    3) In terminal cd to volume "cd /Volume/HDD"
    4) In terminal "touch .com.apple.timemachine.supported" this will create an invisible file.
    5) In terminal "sudo chown root:admin .com.apple.timemachine.supported"
    6) In terminal "sudo chmod 1775 .com.apple.timemachine.supported"
    7) In terminal "ls -l -a" the .com.apple.timemachine.supported file should be -rwxrwxr-t
    8) eject disk, unplug from mac, plug into Airport.
    9) mount at mac using connect to server in finder (command k) and afp://airportname.local./HDname
    10) see if time machine now sees the drive and tries to use it.
    Best, Fernando"
    Might work if you can't get TM to recoginize your drive. Could try the:
    " In terminal "ls -l -a" the .com.apple.timemachine.supported file should be -rwxrwxr-t"
    command. I dunno though. Patience is a virtue.

  • Fix for VS2013 wildcard search and replace in IDE

    Is There a fix for this annoying issue?

    Well I've not ever used anything but word search replace using a word or word search replace with regex in Visual Studio.
    And since that is all I've used I don't find it difficult to use. Or having to lookup
    regex for use in Visual Studio in order to find what I need to use. As you can see in the below image I'm using regex wildcards. In the first image I don't have the Match Case control selected so the match is extending outside of the words (String)
    I want to replace. In the next image that control is selected. I suppose if the "s" in "As" was capitalized then that regex wouldn't be a good one to use. But this (S....g) would work where a period represents a single character.
    It seems to me Visual Studio 2012 didn't use Regex but some Microsoft Offshoot of whatever regex capability styles they wanted to use rather than what Regex actually uses though they called it regex. I don't know if that changed between then and below which
    is Visual Studio 2015 Preview. So possibly you could tell MS that you know Regex but Visual Studio 2013 doesn't seem to work with Regex so maybe they should fix it to work correctly if they really expect you to use Regex with it and not some offshoot of Regex
    their own programmers went out and incorrectly created to use with Visual Studios IDE. Then again maybe it works correctly now.

  • Still no fixes for Audigy 2zs problem

    I still have major issues with my Audigy 2zs in many games, yet I still see absolutely no updates on the drivers. Have you completely abandoned you customers now?
    If I install your bloatware to get the functionality, I get crash after crash, yet if I just use the driver, I get only 4 hardware voices, and many sounds are simply dropped. This is in World of Warcraft, Doom 3, Unreal 2, Unreal Tournament 2003, Diablo 2, and even games as simple as Bejeweled 2!
    As long as you continue to leave your old bugs in place, I will not support buying any of your new products. I will continue to tell people that your products are crap because you refuse to actually support them. If Nvidia or ATI had pulled this ind of crap with their products, they would have gone under by now. We've already seen this happen with 3dFX and S3. Don't you people learn from history?

    I just recently found out about the VIA and Creative problems in the past. I know the SiS chipset is good too! I had this 2zs card in an Asus SiS chipset motherboard and it worked flawlessly. Now, in this VIA chipset motherboard, I'm having all kinds of trouble. I can't justify buying a new motherboard when I only bought this motherboard 2-4 months ago! I wish I knew of these issues before buying a motherboard with a VIA chipset!!
    Does anyone know of a solution or know if Creative is even working on a solution? That Beta driver's been out for more than a month now! I hope when the final revision of that driver comes out, it will address this issue! If not, I don't know what I'm going to do!!
    And with all the problems I've seen people having with the X-fi cards, I'm not even going to consider going in that direction (especially since a lot of people having trouble with the X-fi card have motherboards with the VIA chipsets).
    Any help is greatly appreciated! I've spent countless hours searching the web for an answer (which is something I shouldn't have to do in the first place, but that's another story) and have come up with nothing! The ONLY reason why I'm sticking with this Creative card is because I really like EAX in my PC games, and especially EAX Advanced HD 4.0! When functioning properly (which is not as often as I'd like), it sounds amazing!!

  • Fix for Audigy 2 ZS 'NaN' and 'Inf' values in EAX Control Pa

    Hi all,?It seems that CTHELPER.EXE is the culpret where this issue is concerned. In the 2.xx series of dri'ves for this card, this issue arose whereby you could not change attributes for audio effects. Terminating (or at least attempting to terminate) this process will allow you to change slider values without the dreaded 'NaN' and 'Inf' being displayed in place of actual values. If you still get the occasional 'NaN', try using the keyboard to move the slider. Would be interesting to see if this helps anyone. It certainly helped me!

    I have the same problem. I had a Audigy Value and it has had 0 bands equalizer . I changed Audigy Value and got Audigy2 ZS.Value has had extra 3 bands?3Hz,62Hz and 6kHz ?from Audigy2Zs. Is this a software problem ? It's nonsense that value has wider frequency range ? I tried to copy eq files from the value eq cd , but no chance .

  • ITunes Fix for Manually Moving Music and other Media

    Intro
    Any iTunes 7.x user who manages their own music library outside of the "iTunes Music" folder might be able to tell you that iTunes DOES NOT respond well after manually moving tracks from one place to another on their computer systems. In fact, any file you move becomes immediately unplayable in iTunes. And, if you're anything like I am, losing several years worth of song rating metadata and playlists is not a good incentive for change. However, one thing others might not be able to tell you is that there's an easy workaround for the problem and you get to keep your playlists, ratings and other info. Read on to learn about the workaround.
    About the Workaround
    The workaround is a simple hack I devised after recently transferring a good portion of my music library between hard disks and running into problems with iTunes. The fix steps provided below are intended to circumvent the problems with iTunes and give users the freedom to move songs and other media files on their computers while maintaining the integrity of both the ratings and the playlists. Meaning you won't need to manually update the song locations in iTunes one-at-a-time, which, at version 7.02 is the only way to accomplish this task using the program.
    Please be aware that not all information is retained using this workaround. What will be lost are the following: the "Recently Added", "Recently Played" and "Top 25 Most Played" iTunes Smart Playlists; any media file play counts; last played information; and possibly some other data used only internally by iTunes.
    So, if you're comfortable parting with some metadata while keeping your cherished song ratings and playlists intact during file relocation, read on to learn how to use the workaround.
    Workaround Steps
    The following instructions walk step-by-step through the process of this workaround.
    Note: All backslashes used in file paths have been converted to forward slashes so that they will adhere with MySpace XSS security validation checks. These altered paths can still be copy/paste into Windows Vista's Explorer program once the Username is changed to the User Account where the iTunes files reside.
    Preparing for the Move
    Before you move your files, do the following:
    1. Close iTunes.
    2. Create a backup copy of the following files:
    iTunes Library XML (iTunes Music Library.xml)
    Note: Vista users can find the Library XML at C:/Users/Username/Music/iTunes
    iTunes Music Database (iTunes Library.itl)
    Note: Vista users can find the Music Database at C:/Users/Username/Music/iTunes
    Moving Your Files
    This part should be self explanatory, but while you do it make sure to note the following two things:
    1. The path where the files were previously stored (e.g. D:/Music).
    2. The path where the files will end up (e.g. E:/Music).
    Execute the Fix
    After your files are moved, complete the following steps to implement the fix.
    Note: Do not open iTunes during this process.
    Hack the iTunes Library XML
    Once the files are moved the Library XML file locations will be out of sync. Follow the steps below to update them so that they now reference the correct file locations.
    1. Open the iTunes Library XML with a Text Editor with a Find/Replace function.
    Note: Vista users can find the Library XML at C:/Users/Username/Music/iTunes
    Tip: Do not try to do this with Dreamweaver if your Library XML is greater than 10MB.
    2. Perform a Find/Replace using the following inputs:
    Find: Path from Step 1 of Moving Your Files
    Replace: Path from Step 2 of Moving Your Files
    3. Confirm your results, and then save and close the Library XML.
    Delete the iTunes Music Database
    Hacking the iTunes Library isn't enough to fool iTunes. Like the Library XML, the Music Database also holds the file locations of all of the media stored within the program. And it's smart enough to wipe out the Library XML hack if iTunes is opened before completing this step.
    Ensure you have backed up the iTunes Music Database (iTunes Library.itl) and delete the file.
    Note: Vista users can find the Music Database at C:/Users/Username/Music/iTunes
    Back in iTunes
    Once the fix is in place you can now open iTunes again. You will notice that all of your playlists, music and other items have vanished. In order to recover them all (with the exception of the Smart Playlists mentioned in the About the Workaround section above) we'll need to import the hacked Library XML file back into iTunes.
    1. Open iTunes and press CtrlShiftO or go to File > Import…
    2. Navigate to and Open your modified Library XML (as pictured below).
    3. iTunes will then begin importing the contents of the XML file (as pictured below).
    Note: This process may take a while, depending on the size if your library.
    Wrapping Up
    Once the import process is complete iTunes will look almost exactly the way you left it, with the exception that some playlists have been duplicated and the number of songs may be a hair off. To fix this problem delete any duplicate playlists in the "Library" panel in iTunes. You can now test out the changes by selecting an item moved earlier and testing it out. All that's left from there is to let iTunes perform any automated analysis it needs to do and rock on.
      Other OS  

    Holy Smokes:
    I appreciate your detailed workaround post. My question is this: I use iTunes to keep everything organized (though I'm well aware of the shortcomings...) and can use the simple solution that Chris from CA posted, but I don't have room to consolidate everything. My read on consolidating is that you copy from wherever you have your music located (and right now my music is outside of the MyMusic/iTunes folder, as that backs up to my work server) and so you have to have enough room for all of your music to be copied (and then you delete it from its prior location). That's how Apple describes it in, e.g., http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301748. I ain't go that kind of room. Is there any way to make the move to a completely different PC by following the simple option? From the posting I just linked it sounds like you MUST consolidate whether you use you iPod to move things or use an external drive.
    Of course, I can use your workaround, but I thought I'd ask first. Many thanks.

  • Need a fix for OSX 10.4 and iPad

    The reason I bought a Mac 5 years ago was the reputation and reliability of the product. Shame on me for buying a machine that just wont break! There is no reason to replace my iMac, enter the new Apple iPad that I received for college graduation. I have 15k pics and 6k songs on my iMac, not to mention a couple hundred movies. I now have an iPad that can hold none of them because I have OSX 10.4.11. Apples solution, upgrade to Snow Leopard, oh wait...mines not Intel. Well upgrade to Leopard, but we don't sell it anymore so you'll have to go to ebay or amazon and find it used! Now we're looking at an additional $200 for an out-of-date OS upgrade just to make it compatible with my new and innovative iPad. Way to go Apple, you really dropped the ball on this one.

    Jerry, if you must know. I'm a full-time working adult with a wife and two kids. If "Fortunate enough" falls along the lines of taking 11 years to graduate (b/c I paid as I could afford it) and having my wife "give" me an iPad, which essentially IS my income, then yes...I am fortunate enough in Jerry's eyes.
    I am not part of the "I'm entitled" generation. I'm just somewhat frustrated that Apple has produced a great piece of technology but did not go the extra step in making it compatible with 10.4.11.
    Come on guys, why all the personal attacks? Is this really the purpose of these boards. Anyone heard any rumors that there may be an update that will allow back compatibility. Anyone have any simpler solutions for a fix?
    Has it really come down to a bunch of spoiled rotten people that can only throw out insults instead of offering any help? Or just skipping the thread they have SOOO much hate for and moving on? Really?

  • Fix for VM not received and visual voicemail not showing

    Wanted to share this with all. Easy fix at bottom of this post
    Iphone 4 user.
    My voice mail was not getting through - no tri-tone alert and no sign of the message on visual voice mail screen. Happened over the last 10 days after working properly prior.
    Called Apple Care rep. Lot's of thought, lot's of consultation (10 minutes)
    Advice: take Sim card out and the put it back in and/OR call ATT to address issue.
    OK... I didn't touch the Sim...called ATT. Rep keeps me on 10 minutes! Could almost smell the smoke of her mental processes as she kept saying "OK just one minute" about 30 times and lots of questions for me!
    Finally says she is stumped and gets me to her "2nd level" tech person.
    This person tells me do this simple thing - delete any visual voice mails and then delete all the deleted. Simple as can be. Took 15 seconds. Problem solved.
    AND... she said it's a known issue and that this fix has worked well every time.
    Worked for me and so far I don't have to keep constantly deleting the VM's to keep it working.
    I told her, please tell your fellow reps and please let the Apple reps know this as well. Would have saved me a lot of time.
    So simple...My god.

    oh my gosh. thank you! i was also on the phone with them forever, they recommended everything under the sun and none of it worked. i never would've thought of this but it fixed my problem in about 15 seconds. it's crazy that they don't know about this already!
    thank you again, much appreciated.

  • FIX for can't drag and drop to iTunes anymore

    Rightclick on the iTunes shortcut (or .exe in your Program Files).
    Click Properties. Security and select your username in the list.
    Click Edit to change the permissions and Allow full control.
    Drag and drop will work again.

    I logged in here for the first time in 4 years just to say THANK YOU!  This problem happened after my update to iTunes 12.01.  So puzzling!  Your fix worked.
    Much obliged.

  • Trackpad Fix for All Macbook Pro and Macbook Models.

    Apple has issued a update for the Trackpad but the update is only compatible with the newer unibody Macbooks and Macbook Pros.
    I have made the following patch that is compatible with all Macbook Pro and Macbook models with trackpad issues. Don't forget to run the registry patch last.
    Download it here:
    http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SNIG71OI
    This should fix the trackpad issues for all Macbook Pro models.
    1. Go to Device manager and go to the "Apple Multitouch Mouse Properties."
    2. Go to the driver tab and click on Update Driver.
    3. Click on "Browse my computer for driver software".
    4. Click on "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer".
    5. Click on the "Have Disk" button.
    6. Browse to the location of the included "Apple Multitouch Mouse Driver" folder and hit OK.
    7. Click on next and it will update the driver.
    8. Double-Click the included "MouseFix" registry file.
    9. Restart and enjoy!

    Thanks a lot for the effort you made. Rightclick/Scroll problem is not as bad as before, but its still there. What exactly did you change in the driver files? I'm very interested in this.
    I think about programming my own drivers. A good base for that will be perhaps the source code for this linux demo:

  • Fix for 10.5.6 and coreservicesd crashing after update

    Both MBP C2D2006 and MacBook Air early 2008 worked fine with the 10.5.6 update so I decided to try it on my PPC. Perfectly happy 10.5.5 PowerMac G5 then the dreaded 10.5.6 update dec 27. Would have thought everything was sorted out. I go to software update and installed it. Everything looked fine until I logged in... nothing responded, I thought my account was hosed so I tried another, it worked for a little while. I kept trying to see what can fix it so I download the combo updater, after reading it can help. After successful combo updater, same thing. I look around and all I can do is ssh in after its booted. It turns out coreservicesd is responsible. I try a couple of things I found here in the discussions none worked. Just for the **** of it I completely removed /Library/Caches and boom its perfectly normal again. Thank god for that I would hate to restore my from a backup and start again.

    Thank you so much for this post. I was having this exact issue: 10.5.6 update, coreservicesd crashing (because it was saying it was version 0). I tried the combo update because that has helped stuff in the past, with no luck. Again thank you, I couldn't find any other info out there and I really did not want to reinstall.
