Need Advice, I have a AC-97 sound card, seems to only go up to supporting 5.1, i want 7.1 speakers.

I have an AC-97 sound card, seems to only go up to supporting 5.1, but i want 7.1 speaker set.
i Want to know if it would work, would i get sound?
i obviously realise i wont get 7.1 surround sound, but will it just act as a set of 5.1 speakers with 2 speakers not functioning, or what?

DavidHaynes,
That will depend on the model of the speaker you are looking for. Take for example the Creative Inspire T7700 7.1 speaker. Although it's a 7.1 speaker, you could connect the speaker to a 5.1 soundcard and with the inbuilt CMSS feature within the speaker, you can have sound playback across the full 7.1 speaker configuration.

I have a problem with sound card

Hi,
I Have MSI 865PE Neo2-S Motherboard.
I have downloaded the new Sound Card Driver, and I have problems with gaming in 5.1ch
In Unreal Tournament 2004 my computer resets when it is set to 3D Sound + EAX
In the old version of the sound card Driver the Unreal Tournament 2004 was working good, but in the old version I have problems with the SPDIF out
In the new version the SPDIF working very good but I have problems with gaming
How can I fix that?

Hi,
have you tried unistalling the sound drivers and then re-installing? Its a shame I don't have Unreal Tournament 2004 as i have the same motherboard as you and I could try it. Why do you need to set your in-game sound to 3D Sound + EAX? 3D sound I always thought its didnt sound very good.
Try the unreal Tournament forums and look for sound problems. Maybe that might help http://www.ina-community.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?forumid=249
Good Luck!

I have over 1000 songs on an old computer and I want to copy them to a new one - I have a hard drive but it seems to only copy my purchased songs - any ideas?

Hi Le Etta,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
Take a look at the article below, it provides details and instructions for multiple ways of moving the music from an old computer to a new one.
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527
Method
Considerations
Home Sharing
The easiest option, as long as your new computer is already connected to the Internet.
External drive
Requires additional hardware but backs up your iTunes library.
Transferring purchases
Fastest, but only moves the content you purchased from the iTunes Store. Also requires an iPhone, iPad, or iPod with the content on it.
Windows Migration Assistant
Works best for migrating from an old PC to a new Mac, and transfers more than iTunes.

Well i set a passcode on my iphone 4 and ive forgotten it i have no idea what to do and i only just got this phone plus i dont want to do these bypassing with emergancy call just in case i get it wrong plz help (urgent)

If you set the phone to erase on 10 failed passcodes - then just keep typing and it will wipe itself.
Otherwise I believe you can set it to recovery mode and restore etc.. via iTunes... There is no easy way as the passcode is designed to protect the phone exactly against what you are trying to do now...

Need advice on best setup for Extreme and Express w/ (n only) network

I'd like to get some advice on the best setup for my situation. I've read a number of posts on WDS, Extending a Network, etc. and, unfortunately, I'm now more confused than ever.
We have an Airport Extreme 802.11n using WPA2 Personal, 2.4Ghz (n only connection) which I've found to give us the best range/connection speeds for the following devices (all computers running 10.5.5, Apple TV's using most current update):
(2) MacBooks
iMac
(2) AppleTVs
The good news we have a large house, the bad news we have a large house. Meaning of course that I don't get the range in parts of the house I'd like to. I also have an older Mini (G4) connected to the AEBS thru ethernet (the Mini acts as the iTunes server for the ATVs).
I just bought a new Airport Express with the desire to place it on the other side of the house to both enhance the range of the wireless network and to provide another wired to wireless connection to the network.
I initially merely chose to "Extend a wireless network" but that seems to have a MAJOR adverse impact on the speeds of the wireless network. dropping the streaming to one of the ATV by like 90%. I would like to maintain the security settings I have as well as the 2.4Ghz (n only) since these provide the best speed/connection range on the AEBS.
My question then is what is the best way to use the AX (WDS? Bridge?).

The best way to use it is the option you chose "Extend a wireless network".
WDS forces you to the much slower 802.11g and even cuts that bandwidth in half.
Operating as a bridge has nothing to do with wirelessly extending a network. Changing this option won't have any effect on wireless bandwidth.

Have you problems with sound card when playing Netflix movies on MacBook Pro ?

We have been having difficulty playing movies recently and we called Netflix last night. Accrding to their error code, we should re-install sound cards they said. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I'm not sure what to do to remedy this issue? thank you!!

I'm so ****** off that it's been weeks and no solution has been provided for this. In the middle of video editing, watching quicktime videos, youtube, or playing any games the computer hard freezes with a black screen and looping audio of about 1/2 second.
FIX IT!

:( I stilll have problems with my sound card

OK, I finally got the right drivers for my OEM soundcard and everything works fine. Of course, the one thing that doesn't work is the thing I bought the sound card for. In games like Battlefield2, whenever I choose Creative X-Fi it says I don't have the right hardware, but I do. Any ideas on what is wrong? (also, I made sure all the other settings were correct)

I have a dual boot dv6426us fwiw, but when I tried to UPDATE an audio driver under XP, I experienced similiar problems with the headphone jacks and also some goofy behavior with the quicklink touch mute button. I reverted back to Conexant High Definition Audio 3.26.0.50 11/09/2006 and I was back in business. My point is I guess, is that the wrong driver WILL and CAN cause issues that "I" wouldn't have guessed to be driver related

Need advice for buying a mini pci wireless card

Hi,
I have a Toshiba laptop that I have bought almost two years ago. This laptop has a Intel 2200BG wireless chipset which does work, but the connection quality is quite low. Sometimes the connection speed jumps, sometimes it drops altogether. I've tried all the driver upgrades, power management tricks and all that could be found on the net. Some of those help, but there is always something that does not work as it should.
Long story short, I've decided to buy a Wireless mini pci card. The problem is that these cards are nowhere to find. There is nothing on Toshiba's site and apart from some offers on eBay there is almost nothing to choose from. I know there are other options, but I prefer a mini pci card.
Can anyone help me on this issue?
Thank you,
Peter.

Hi Peter!
I had the same problem with my Satellite M70 and Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG card. I had noticed that ping response (e.g. with WinMTR application) to router was very poor and there was a even 3 seconds delay and many packets lost. It was impossible to me to make any VoIP call. Other laptops of course work fine in the network. I was said in Toshiba service that it should be like this, and they cannot exchange the card.
The only solution that I found is to change card configuration to work only in "B" mode.
Try:
1. Go to Start/Connect To/Wireless Network Connection/.
2. Click "Change advanced settings".
3. Click Configure and choose Advanced tab.
4. Find "Wireless network mode", change to 802.11b only!
It will reduce maximum network connection rate to 11MB/s (important only if you are sharing huge files in local network) but stability will be significantly better. Ping will be never less than 0,05s.
Other solution is of course buying a Atheros mini-pci card. Try to find it in shops specialized in wireless communication.
Best regards
Chris

Audio / Sound Card not working after Soundblaster.USB.Audio.Support.pkg

Ok, first - confess - it was stupid. I installed the Soundblaster.USB.Audio.Support.pkg package, which i downloaded from the internet, to make the harman Kardon Soundsticks (USB-Version) working, as nothing happened when plugging them in.
First, it ruined the mouse working after reboot and also disabled the internal sound card, not even as device available anymore. I fixed the mouse problem by installing IOUSBFamily-281.4.0-log(PPC).dmg
How can I make the sound card be available and working again ? I also updated to 10.4.11. Did not help ! Can you ? Thanks !

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
First, look in system preferences, accounts, and for your login account look at login items to see if there is a Soundblaster USB module that is loaded when you reboot your system. Delete it if there is one.
If you updated to 10.4.11 by software update, download the combo update from http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10411comboupdat eppc.html . The combo update is a complete update for all updates to 10.4, and installing the combo sometimes fixes odd things.

Why won't downloadhelper download MP4 format from youtube anymore ? it only downloads flv which is useless,I need MP4 I have enabled MP4 etc but nothing seems to work.What is the problem ?

It used to download MP4 a few days ago ! but now its only useless FLV format ? I need MP4 format so I can continue to make videos

This is due to a recent change at youtube.
This version fixes the problem: http://www.downloadhelper.net/install-beta.php?version=4.9.5a1

Sound card problem - This device cannot start. (Code

hi all,
here's my situation...
i had a dell dimension 4400 that came with a sound blaster li've! value(wdm) sound card. i recently got a new motherboard/case etc. i transferred the sound card to my new system and i get a "This device cannot start. (Code 0)" error when i check device manager. for some reason, the game port on the sound card is working fine, but the audio processor part has the error. windows recognizes the card, but it won't use it. the card is a little over 3 years old.
now, i've read the forums, tried a clean install, registry tweaks, changed bios settings, even did a hd format. i also tried different pci slots. i have sp2 and all my other drivers are updated.
the new motherboard i have is a gigabyte 8ipe000g. i already contacted gigabyte, did not get much help. it has onboard ac97 audio. i disabled the onboard audio, but it did not seem to change anything. i have also tried windows drivers, the dell drivers from the cd, and the drivers from the creative website. none of them changed anything. i am now having trouble removing the drivers from add/remove programs. i keep removing them, but they still remain, even after using the wdm driver remover from the cd (a file named ctapxx.exe, or something similar). it's almost like windows is not actually installing the drivers when i install them. i'm wondering if the code 0 error is specifically driver related.
the first time i disabled the onboard audio and updated the drivers a weird thing happened. every time i started the computer up it would crash when it got to the desktop. it no longer does this for some reason, everything now starts up, but i have no audio. the sound card is the only device giving me problems on my system.
is there anything else i need plugged into the sound card? all i have is the sound card plugged into the pci slot, and an audio cord going from the card to my dvd dri've. is there anything that is supposed to go from the card directly to the motherboard? as far as i can tell, i have everything hooked up correctly. i don't understand why the game port works, but not the audio processor.
so, i have basically tried everything. seems like quite a few people get code 0 errors with some sort of hardware they have, but it usually seems like there is no definite solution.
does anyone have a similar problem, or a solution? hopefully i don't have to get a new sound card. i would just stick with my onboard audio, but i hear it can cause problems with games.

Since you have a new board it maybe a bios setting.
Is there IRQ conflict from the soundcard.
Maybe remove the card and unistall the software, use a tool "driver cleaner pro" to remove all creative files.
Check your mainboard manual on what pci slot that dont share, i hear slot 3 is the one to use, i use slot 5.
Fit the card and reinstall.
Best of luck.

I cannot view the updates on the App Store. The app icon shows 2 updates but the screen is blank. Need advice?

I have the same problem.
I think there's a problem with the update server. Try again later.

Need a sound card recommendation

Hi:
I've just gotten into using Premiere Pro CS5 and have gotten the rudiments down. I now need to do a voice over and need to know what kind of audio/sound card to be able to record the voice over to a file that can be imported into the program. There are plenty of sound cards out there but all they talk about is how they apply to gaming. So, I need a recomendation for a sound card.
Thanks in advance,
M

is voice really the orphan in this forum? Here we get great recommendations to spend thousands of $/€ for NLE HW/SW and a 200$ piece should be the cure of all voice issues? It's common sense that the ears are not forgiving even slight "errors" in comparision to our eyes (tons of daily broadcasted mobile videos prove this ...)
Jokes aside --> I also own a H4N, but would never go (for serious work) with the WAV file into PPRO (in my small home studio together with AKG C214 mic into a Yamaha N12 digital mixer, DAW Suite from Cubase and Genelec monitors/basswoofer, cost approx 3 K).
Besides the url provided from Harm a quick deep dive can be found here:
http://izotope.com/products/audio/nectar/index.asp
The advanced video files on this WP show virtually all voice related issues and possibilities to get a broad, impressive and convincing VO sound.

I just exchanged a faulty iPhone 4 for a new one, when I got home to restore it, iCloud says "cannot restore backup". Can somebody please help provide much needed advice? Thanks in advance!

Yep, that's the only message that popped out. Nothing else. Yes, it's running on the latest ios and I still can't restore it. I called apple and they told me it's probably something wrong with their servers. Anyway thanks for the advice.

Need Advice, I have a AC-97 sound card, seems to only go up to supporting 5.1, i want 7.1 speakers.
