Need advice on optimizing the x-fi elite pro sett

Hi,
I am currently using SB X-Fi elite pro and Gigaworks S750. Need to have an advice especially on the THX setting optimization (bass redirection). I need to know how does this redirection work? Is it by redirecting any freq below the specified freq to the sub and the rest keep it at the sats?
The speaker itself has a build in cross-over right? Is it possible to know what is the freq? and what is the advantage over setting the freq at THX recommendation?
Appreciate the help.
Thanks

The Gigaworks have their own internal bass management like 98% of all PC speakers and you don't need to enable bass redirection on the soundcard. If you needed bass management, you would know as there would be little to no bass from yer subwoofer.
The only PC speakers that I'm aware of which needed bass management on the soundcard was the VideoLogic Digi-Theatre speakers.Message Edited by nvidiot on 0-24-2006 0:09 PM

  • Need help in optimizing the process

    I need help in optimizing my process. Here is what am I doing:
    I have two tables table A and table B. table A has list of names and table B has name and ID. Right now I am loading name into cursor from table A and for each name from the cursor I try to match with name in table B to get the ID. This process takes very long to complete. I need help to replace PL/SQL with SQL if possible. I am using oracle utl_match to match the best possible record in table B. table B sometimes returns multiple matching records. I take the top nearest match name and ID for my use (there is not always one to one match)
    Any idea or help will be appreciated. Thanks

    always provide create table and sample data instert statements when asking a question. also, provide your database version.
    because you're using utl_match, you can't really use an index, there must be a cartesian join on the two tables so it may always be slow.
    however, here's a sample SQL that you may be able to make use of:
    with n as (select 'KATHERINE' person_name from dual
                 union all
                 select 'STEVE' from dual
                 union all
                 select 'BRUCE' from dual)
        ,nid as (select 'CATHERINE' person_name, 1 NID FROM DUAL
                 union all
                 select 'STEFAN', 2 from dual
                 UNION ALL
                 select 'STEVEN', 2 from dual
                 union all
                 select 'CATHY',3 from dual)
    select n_name, nid
      from (
            select n.person_name N_NAME
                  ,nid.person_name
                  ,nid.nid
                  ,ROW_NUMBER() OVER (partition by n.person_name ORDER BY utl_match.jaro_winkler_similarity(n.person_name,nid.person_name) DESC) jws_ORDER
              from n
              join nid on (utl_match.jaro_winkler_similarity(n.person_name,nid.person_name) > 70)

  • S/PDIF OUT on the X-Fi Elite Pro...Where Is It?

    I'm trying to connect the 2-pin S/PDIF cable from my GTX280 to my X-Fi Elite Pro card, but have no idea where the S/PDIF?out pins are.
    I can't find any do***entation showing this.
    I know trying to get a?Creative tech to respond is like asking for a miracle, but hopefully someone has an answer.
    I've looked around on the forums and couldn't find any answers. If I overlooked something, I'd appreciate it if someone could point me to the thread.

    Really? No one?

  • Have old Power Mac G4, need advice on upgrading the operating system

    Hello. Glad I found this forum. Wish it was prominently advertized on the Apple home page. Anyway, I have an old Power Mac G4 running OS X 10.0.4. Well, actually, I've always run it in OS 9.2. In fact recently I started playing with it again and switched it to OS X 10.0.4 and it seems to be unstable. The display dissappears after a while running. The machine is not off, just no display. Hitting the smaller reboot button brings it back up, only to have it repeat the failure. But that's not really my question. I want to use this machine as a Skype phone and for iMovie in OS 9.2. Skype is only available for OS X 10.3.9 and later OS's. So, if it's not a major hassle and expense, I want to upgrade to OS X 10.3.9 or later. That's where I need some advice. Having never attempted such a project, I'd like as much feedback as I can get about what to expect going in. Here are some questions:
    1. Will I still be able to run OS 9.2 (either concurrently or by switching the startup disk when needed) if I upgrade to OS X 10.3.9 or later?
    2. Will this instability with OS X 10.0.4 dissappear if I uprgade?
    3. Where can I find the appropriate upgrade software?
    4. Can I jump from OS X 10.0.4 to a version as late as OS X 10.3.9 without any intermediate steps, and without creating all kinds of little inconsistencies that I will have to chase down to make it work right in day to day use.
    If I get answers to all that, I'll be blown away by the spirit of helpfulness on this forum! But anything you can offer will be greatly appreciated. I don't really want to do anything fancy with the machine, just Skype, hopefully iMovie and maybe stream some TV programs if all goes well. Thanks for reading through all this and for anything you can offer.
    Power Mac G4

    appleysmappley:
    Cornelius, clearly you know your Macs!
    Thank you. I have great mentors, one of whom is Kappy.
    My next question about OS 9 is, if I have to wipe the hard drive, will the Panther retail box I buy include OS 9 or will I need to somehow add it from the original software pack I have after installing Panther?
    You have options.
    1. You can choose to install Panther using the Archive and Install option, which will leave OS 9 untouched. However, since you currently have OS X 10.0.4 on your drive, I think a complete reformat, erase and reinstall is advisable.
    2. You can copy your OS 9 Systems Folder, OS 9 Applications Folder and any data you have have to a USB jump drive, or CD or an external Hard Disk Drive and restore it after Panther or Tiger is installed.
    3. You can install OS 9 from scratch. We will give you step by step directions for doing it.
    I'm assuming I can't use the disks that came with my laptop to updgrade my Power Mac G4, right?
    It may or may not work. However, the Apple Software License Agreement stipulates that unless you have a multiple user license, the OS can only be installed on one computer at a time.
    I'm concerned about OS 9 is because I want to be able to run the OS 9 iMovie that I have on the Power Mac G4 now.
    If you reinstall OS 9, that should be included. OS X also has iMovie, although I am not sure if it is included in the Retail Version. You can also purchase iLife which will include iMovie and other apps.
    What are the potential pitfalls of buying a copy on eBay? What do I need to know to "know what I'm looking for"? What questions should I ask?
    The pitfalls are many. There is fraud on eBay (elsewhere, too, I guess), so you want to be sure you get a reputable seller. You want to be sure that you are getting the Full Retail Version, not computer specific gray disks or upgrade installers. You should ask the seller, in addition, whether you can return the merchandise for a refund if it does not work on your computer. Most reputable sellers want to satisfy their buyers and their business depends on their reputation.
    Kappy said I would need more RAM (I have 384 MB). Where would you recommend buying that?
    Your computer will support a total of 1.5 GB of PC-133 3.3v, unbuffered, 8-byte, non-parity 168-pin SDRAM in 3 slots. You currently have a 128 MB and 256 MB modules in two slots. You can remove one or both and add two or three 512 MB modules. Check out the list of vendors and prices at ramseeker
    Good luck.

  • Need help in optimizing the query with joins and group by clause

    I am having problem in executing the query below.. it is taking lot of time. To simplify, I have added the two tables FILE_STATUS = stores the file load details and COMM table that is actual business commission table showing records successfully processed and which records were transmitted to other system. Records with status = T is trasnmitted to other system and traansactions with P is pending.
    CREATE TABLE FILE_STATUS
    (FILE_ID VARCHAR2(14),
    FILE_NAME VARCHAR2(20),
    CARR_CD VARCHAR2(5),
    TOT_REC NUMBER,
    TOT_SUCC NUMBER);
    CREATE TABLE COMM
    (SRC_FILE_ID VARCHAR2(14),
    REC_ID NUMBER,
    STATUS CHAR(1));
    INSERT INTO FILE_STATUS VALUES ('12345678', 'CM_LIBM.TXT', 'LIBM', 5, 4);
    INSERT INTO FILE_STATUS VALUES ('12345679', 'CM_HIPNT.TXT', 'HIPNT', 4, 0);
    INSERT INTO COMM VALUES ('12345678', 1, 'T');
    INSERT INTO COMM VALUES ('12345678', 3, 'T');
    INSERT INTO COMM VALUES ('12345678', 4, 'P');
    INSERT INTO COMM VALUES ('12345678', 5, 'P');
    COMMIT;Here is the query that I wrote to give me the details of the file that has been loaded into the system. It reads the file status and commission table to show file name, total records loaded, total records successfully loaded to the commission table and number of records that has been finally transmitted (status=T) to other systems.
    SELECT
        FS.CARR_CD
        ,FS.FILE_NAME
        ,FS.FILE_ID
        ,FS.TOT_REC
        ,FS.TOT_SUCC
        ,NVL(C.TOT_TRANS, 0) TOT_TRANS
    FROM FILE_STATUS FS
    LEFT JOIN
        SELECT SRC_FILE_ID, COUNT(*) TOT_TRANS
        FROM COMM
        WHERE STATUS = 'T'
        GROUP BY SRC_FILE_ID
    ) C ON C.SRC_FILE_ID = FS.FILE_ID
    WHERE FILE_ID = '12345678';In production this query has more joins and is taking lot of time to process.. the main culprit for me is the join on COMM table to get the count of number of transactions transmitted. Please can you give me tips to optimize this query to get results faster? Do I need to remove group and use partition or something else. Please help!

    I get 2 rows if I use my query with your new criteria. Did you commit the record if you are using a second connection to query? Did you remove the criteria for file_id?
    select carr_cd, file_name, file_id, tot_rec, tot_succ, tot_trans
      from (select fs.carr_cd,

ROW_NUMBER will always prevent duplicates. The ordering of the analytical function is irrelevant in your query if you use ROW_NUMBER. You can remove the outermost query and inspect the data returned by the inner query;
    select fs.carr_cd,
           fs.file_name,
           fs.file_id,
           fs.tot_rec,

  • Need advice: Accidentally applied the same patch twice

    So I fumbled with my 10 PuTTy sessions and accidentally typed opatch apply in server that I had already patched. It asked me if the system was ready for patching and I hit "yes". It started "Updating" some files and in a bit of a panic I probably did exactly what I shouldn't have done... pressed ctrl+c to break the process. Should I be at all concerned? Should I...
    - Reapply the patch (it doesn't do anything else but update more files)?
    -Take the "updated files" from another recently patched environment and overwrite them in this one?
    - Rollback the patch and reapply it?
    - Leave it?

    Thanks for the response.
    I actually ended up just doing an opatch rollback -id <Patch ID> followed by another opatch apply for that patch. Nothing seems to have gone wrong. I was worried earlier because I checked the md5 digest of some of the files and none of them matched up between environments with equal patch levels.

  • Need advice on Hardware & Disk Setup for Premiere Pro CS6

    I am about to purchase a Mac Pro and after reading threads on hardware requirements & different disk setups I am still a little unsure which way to go. If someone could point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
    Firstly this system will be used primarily for the following tasks: Editing AVCHD media (Sony HDR-XR550) and burning to disk with light editing, Creating Web Videos from AVCHD Media, editing images in Ps & Lr. This is strictly a hobby for me and I will also use the machice for some light AutoCad work.
    The current system specs are as follows:
    3.33GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon processor, 16GB (4x4GB) RAM, Bay 1: 1TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s, Bay 2: 512GB SSD, Bay 3: 1TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s, Bay 4: 1TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s, ATI Radeon HD 5870 1GB, Two 18x SuperDrives.
    My questions are:
    1.     Reading the thread on Generic Guidelines for Disk Setup I plan to use the 4 Disk setup described. If I only have 1 SSD, should I make it C: D: E: or F:? My priority would be the editing speed rather than the exporting speed.
    2.     If I can stretch my budget to include another SSD then again, should I make it C: D: E: or F:?
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Hi Harm (& Jim),
    After much deliberation I agree with you and Jim. I am not sure what I was thinking!
    I have decided to build my own machine based around your reccomendations in previous posts. Could you please look over the system specifications and offer any suggestions or comments?

    I have a few questions if you would be kind enough to help.
    Is the RAM specified compatible with the rest of my system?
    Do you think the GPU is over spec? Could you recommend an alternative if so?
    What would be the optimal disk configuration with the proposed disks? I would consider another WD Black if it would make a significant difference.
    Do you have any other suggestions where this system could be improved whilst keeping the budget around the same value?
    Many thanks,

  • Need advice about Macbook internal HD and Logic Pro

    Hi!
    If I use an external Firewire HD for my projects. The Audiofiles gets saved ( recorded ) in the "audio" folder inside the projects folder on the external HD.
    Does it have ANY impact on my macbooks ( logic pro's ) performance that the internal HD of the macbook is only a 5400 RPM HD.
    Ill try to be silly clear here so u'll understand my question right.
    Is the internal Hard disk used in ANY way if the project is on an external HD. Is the internal HD used for playing samples "live" for Ultrabeat, RMX, EXS24 and so on or not or that doesnt matter for performance.
    I need to avoid the intern HD so I am wondering what to do. Should I buy a new 7200 RPM HD even if the projects is situated on external HD.
    To be uberclear: Macbook, black, intel core duo, 2.0 Ghz, 1 GB intern. 100 Gb 5400 RPM internHd. Logic Pro 7.2.3. External FW HD 7200 RPM. Latest Tiger update.

    yes the internal drive has an impact on performance. this is related to how much RAM you have, but even if you have the max 2GB RAM that you can have in a macbook (or 3GB if they updated it to that like the pros), OSX still uses the system drive for a great deal of swap files. logic does too. it's just the way it all works. back in OS9 days, you may (or may not) remember a thing called virtual memory.. well that hasn't disappeared from OSX as many people think, it's actually built in and always operating under the hood, but it self-manages... there's no need for a user to assign amounts of hard drive for VM, or to assign the memory allocation for applications. OSX does it all by itself, and it does make judicious use of the system drive just to function.
    logic also is part of this equation. depending on how you set it up, if some of your exs library is on the system drive (such as the basic library or garage band sounds), then it's possible that logic will access the sys drive at times if you have exs streaming enabled. also, if your freeze files get created on the sys drive, they'll be read from there too.
    with all that in mind, the other thing is that the 5400rpm is not really that slow. in fact, if it is a drive that uses the new PMR technology (the 5400s in the latest macbook pro do use this, don't know about the standard macbook), then there have been plenty of tests out there that show it's almost as fast as a 7200rpm longitudinal drive, and under some circumstances, faster.
    personally, I ordered a macbook pro with a 7200rpm because I want my system drive to be as zippy as possible for all the fast read/writes that the system does. battery life is not an issue for me as it will always be used in a powered situation. a good review of the 7200rpm drive vs the new PMR 5400s that are the options in the new macbook pros that I read on the net said that the 7200 still does have the slight edge in performance. except, curiously, when the drives are both getting full, at which point they both slow down and the 5400 almost equals the 7200. I wish I could remember the site so I could post the link, it was a laptop review site and they ran their own tests so it wasn't just based on quoted specs.
    anyway for me I'm still going to use an external FW800 for audio and sound library, the internal is just for system. I made the choice to go 7200 for the system performance reasons above, but I really don't think you'll be disappointed with the 5400.

  • Budget €2300,- Need advice with laptop hardware for AE, Premiere Pro CC/CS6

    Hi Folks,
    These are some specific questons so if one of you have purchased or upgraded their laptop recently could know some of these things. Otherwise, any informed idea is really appriciated.
    I'm planning to purchase a production laptop specially for AE and Premiere Pro.
    I've come to understand that my budget allows me to have a nvidia Quadro M3000k. I guess you guys understand why I focuse
    on the video card. My reasoning is: finding a machine with 3rd gen core i7, 16 or 32gb of ram, 1080p screen etc is quite easy in todays machines.
    But I'm sturggeling to find one with the right, and affordable video card. My budget is arond 2300 euros btw. Give or take a 100.
    So:
    - Concidering my 2300 euro budget, do any of you know a good machine to suggest? Besides what I mentioned above, I'm looking for one where I can put 32gb ram in.
    - In the link below, nvidia itself suggestes some laptops, I ended up with the HP EliteBook 8770w (it may seem quite cheap for my budget but unfortunately me living in Holland means by the time it has been imported and all the taxes paid, the price will be quite a bit more) and Dell Precision m6700 (this one is around 2300 euros in Holland).
    http://www.nvidia.com/object/mobile-workstation-notebooks.html
    - And am I failing to concider some other important feature folks?
    Thanx in advance
    Umyd

    Thank you folks very much.
    Waw I was already searching for a machine with a quadro video card for two days before I consulted you guys and I'm so glad I did!
    This is where I ended up now: Alienware M17x
    http://configure.euro.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?oc=n00w7m01&model_id=alienware-m17x-r 4&c=nl&l=nl&s=dhs&cs=nldhs1
    It has a 2GB GDDR5 NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 680M. Which will make it cuda capable(?)
    It does have eSATA port and usb3.
    It just seemed to have only two slots for hard drive. Unlike some "worksations" that have 4. Is this problematic?
    For hard drive I chose 128GB mSATA Boot Drive + 750GB 7,200rpm SATA 3Gb/s. Plus the eSATA and usb3 ports, it should be fine. Shouldn't it?

  • 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.

  • TCP Client/Server Whiteboard - Like Netmeeting - Need advice

    I won't get into details of the full project, but one part of the project is a whiteboard-like VI that works similar to the whiteboard in Netmeeting. I created a quick server and client VI to establish a TCP connection to allow the whiteboard to run for everyone. Run the server VI first and then the client VI and the whiteboards will open. Normally you would only have one whiteboard running, but this is a demo to allow the client and server to run on the same computer. Please execute the project to understand what the program does so that you understand the concept.
    Now for my problem: I spent a several days designing this portion of my project and it is fairly usable, but the problem is that if you continuously draw on the screen for a long time (maybe 1 minute), the arrays will get rather large and will eventually slow the drawing process to a crawl. In a previous version I would draw to the screen, feedback the picture element, and then clear the array, thinking this would be the most efficient. Unfortunately it seemed to be pretty slow also.
    I've only been using Labview for a year, so please forgive me if my code is sloppy or if I did things in a weird way. This is why I am posting this code. I'm really looking for advice on optimizing the code and fixing my main problem.

    Hi Travis,
    Thanks for your reply. I saw your post after I already solved the problem otherwise I would look into your suggestions. I thought I would post the solution here so that this code might help someone in the future.
    To recap, I had a problem with a drawing slowdown using two different methods. The first method was to draw to a picture element and then loop this around the main while loop and then draw to the picture element again for every pixel movement captured. Reloading the picture element rapidly was a major drag on the CPU. So the second method I used was to store all pixels movements captured in an array and add another array to the second dimension every time the mouse button lifted. I would draw EVERYTHING in this 2D array everytime I looped around. This meant that the array could get rather large after a very short time and bog down the CPU.
    So I realized that I could take the best of both methods mentioned and use a nested while loop inside another while loop. The outer while loop shifts the picture element around and the inner loop will continue to build and redraw only one row of the array until the mouse button is up. At this point I stop the inner loop and pass the picture element around null the arrays for the inner loop. Seems to accomplish everything I needed.
    Hope this can help somebody else. The new code is attached

  • What are the flat frequency settings for bass & treble knobs on X-Fi Elite Pro?

    Ok, I have the X-Fi Elite Pro and I need to set its bass & treble levels (volume control panel) to a flat frequency response setting. I noticed that the default value given by creative is 50% for bass level and 50% for treble level. So, what is the flat frequency response setting for bass and treble knobs? 0% or 50%?
    Kind regards

    Ok, I get the picture. The reason why I asked this question came up when I bought a new set of monitors (the Edirol MA-15DBK). I found out that after changing speakers (I had a set of Philips SPC-3208) the new ones were set to 0% boost/cut for bass/treble, but the sound came out quite bassy in an almost irritating level. So, I thought that maybe my card's bass levels were somewhat boosted. I guess now some lower frequencies are revealed, so I have to take care of my room acoustics. However the reviews for the Edirols gave low bass levels, so this gets more complicated. I am still in a 30-days trial, so maybe I will have a look at the Gigaworks T40 series II and I'll see what happens then...

  • The problem about x-fi elite pro's I/O conso

    When i bought the x-fi elite pro,i used it on the AMD athlon64 3500+ ?ASUS ax800xt and GigaByte K8NSNXP-939 motherboard in windowsxp sp2 32bit.
    After i installed it just as the quick start said,everything is fine and i like it very much.
    I do think that creative had done a great job and it is the best reason to change the sb audigy2 ZS platinum pro.
    But the problem comes when i change the hardware to amd AMD Athlon64 X2 4400+?Leadtek 7800GTX(single,not SLI)and ASUS A8N32-SLI motherboard.
    After i changed the three things, i shut up to the older winxp pro sp2 32bit,it found a lot of newhardware,most of them are related to the nforce4 sli chipset,when it found x-fi,the system bring up blue screen and restart automaticly.
    After the restart,i can startup in the system and change the settings of the x-fi(the hardware id has changed) ,and thus everything seems fine(the S750 works well),but the I/O console has no response, the blue led of the I/O console is dark.
    Since then,i am in a nightmare.
    I have tried a lot of ways in order to solve the problem, but it didn't work.first, i check the AD_Link carefully and everything is tight and fine,then i change the power splliter cable to another,i also plug the x-fi card into another slot and reinstall the operating system.
    And now, i don't know how to solve the problem, Someone please help me.
    plus,i use the newest motherboard bios 009,nforce4-sli chipset driver and 7800GTX drivers.
    Eagerly for your advice.Message Edited by bravo on 0-5-2006 03:5 PM

    The problem is actually about the power connector to the card (which powers the external box).
    But of course is not since I forgotten to attach it
    It is because the power connector is very tight, so when my friend helping me pulled out the connector, the connector?s plastic jack is also pulled out a half.
    I don't notice it when I attach the power connector to it in my new computer, So the power connector can't really provide the power to the external box.
    I hope someone can get some help from this thing.
