Need help getting my surround sound to work when watching TV

I recently got the Samsung Blueray Home Theatre system and it works fine while watching movies, but I can't seem to get the system to work while watching regular tv? Any ideas?

In order to get sound while you are watching braodcast tv or satalite you have to route the sound to your receiver some how. If you use a external source for watching tv, like a digital cable box or satalite receiver you will have to run the sound to your receiver from that component. A digital connection would be best so your receiver can decode dolby digital if its available for the program you are watching. And optical cable, digital coax (looks like an RCA cable) or HDMI if your components utilize it. For the HDMI you would need to have an HDMI out on the cable/satalite box and a HDMI input on the stereo receiver.
If your not using a cable or satalite box then you need to run an optical cable from the optical out of your tv to an optical input on the receiver.
Without knowing exactly what components you are using its hard to say which would be the best way to hook it up.

Need help getting Adobe OnLocation CS3 to work with windows 7 64 bit. Any ideas?

Need help getting Adobe OnLocation CS3 to work with windows 7 64 bit. The program installed ok and the S/N took.
The program does record video and audio HDV M2T.
The problem is video doesn't display or play back on the monitor component @ 16:9 or 720 p. 4:3....
The scopes respond as do the audio components when recording. (with a blank monitor component).
The video does play back on my system no problem.
Any ideas?

How do i get my surround sound to work with my laptop while using a hdmi cable for the video

I have a Sony surround sound system hooked up that works great. My X-Box 360 works with it and I can get my HP G60 to play audio files through the surround sound system with a red and white audio jack plugged into the back of my surround sound receiver, the red and white audio cord goes to a 3.5mm headphone jack that i plug into the headphone plug on the front of my computer. The problem occurs when I hook my HDMI cable into my computer and connect it to my Samsung Flat screen, the HDMI sound takes over and wont allow the sound to go through the headphone jack. My tv does not have any audio output plugs, and my suround sound reciever doesnt have an HDMI input. Is there a setting on the computer that will allow me to over ride the HDMI sound and direct the sound through the head phones? or is there an app or tool that will allow my laptop to recognize my suround sound system plugged into my laptop? I have been to best buy, walmart, radio shack and even my local car audio store to ask about this issue and everyone has a different solution, and so far none of them have worked???????? sincerley frustrated! please help!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Hello JaeRoc48,
I understand that the sound is not working.
Go to start.
Type Sound.
Select sound.
Select speakers as default.
Click OK.
Let me know how everything goes.

I can not get 3D surround sound to work with my X-Fi and headhones please he

I have an X-Fi Xtrememusic soundcard and I have been unable to get possitional sound working consistantly with two sets of stereo headphones. I have the latest drivers installed and have creative audio console set to: headphones, game mode, CMSS 3D and I still have no possitional sound at all. Noises seem to come from above my head I can't tell right from left or forward from backward in other words I am completely lost as to were sounds are coming from in games. I used to be able to get possistional sound to function by changing headphones in the creative audio console to 2. or 4. speakers.
If I set the mode to 5. or higher the sounds in games (footsteps, weapons fire) would become heavily muted and hard to hear while I would gain better positional sound for other players and now this does not work at all. I have also tried disabling sync to windows control panel and changing its sound options and there have been no beneifts from doing so. In settings other then stereo headphones no sound was produced at all while others stopped sound coming from one of my headphone speakers. I am at a total loss I can not think of anything thing else to fiddle with.
My system specs: Athlon 64 4000+ San Diego, ASUS A8N-E mobo, 2GB DDR400 2.5CAS Buffalo ram, EVGA 7800GT CO, X-Fi Xtrememusic. No popping or crackling sound at least. Thank you you reading this.

Hay everyone thanks for the advise but i was finally told by one of the support personnel that I actually need the dri've bay insert that comes with the fidelity in order to get the cmss 3d to work with the headphones.
I only purchased the extreme gamer not the extreme gamer fidelity and that is why i cant get the cmss 3d to work but it still advertises on the box that you can use the cmss 3d and get that feature. :angry:? Should have done homework but i was out Christmas shopping and i went off of what the box advertised. This is very unusual for me to shop compulsi'vely. The funny thing is that everything else on the box that is advertised such as the increase of the CPU and the EAX HD features are able to be used. Im very upset about this because I particularly bought this card for the cmss 3d. I really don't know if i will ever recommend another Creative Product to any of the people i do computer repair or gamer builds for, unless this gets resolved and the only way to resolve this is to get the cmss 3D to work. By the way I did do a full reinstall even with clean boot so that isn't the problem. I'm really upset and ready to return this product to Best Buy unless this can be resolved. Any admin that comes across this please send me any ways of getting a hold of anyone that can help. Tks and hope yall had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Desperately need help getting Flash music player to work correctly!

I'm working up a Flash template for a site that has a music player for 3 different tracks. The template came with 3 separate fla files for each track (Music1.fla, Music2.fla and Music3.fla), which I opened and imported my own mp3's into, set them to repeat only once, and then published the swf's. The music player works fine, but when the first song ends, the music stops unless you click on the next music track in the player. I'd like to have it where after the first song finishes it automatically starts playing the next song, then when it finishes the 3rd and final song it goes back to song one. How can I do this? Is it as easy as inserting some Actionscript into the Music fla's or would it have to be fixed in the player itself on the site's fla?
I have the site uploaded here to check out:
http://truetilldeathhq.com/main8_v7/main8_v7.html
Thanks in advance for your help, I'm really in a bind and need to get this fixed quickly!!

K, give this a shot.
All you need to do is duplicate the code on the buttons in the sound controller that load the three songs. So on the last frame of music1.fla, enter -
path="music2.swf";
loadMovieNum(path,1);
Do the same for the other music flas using the next song number. You may have to add _root. before the loadMovieNum command, so it would be:
_root.loadMovieNum(path,1);
This will only work if the mp3s are imbedded in the music flas. You will have to add a zillion frames to the timeline to see where the audio file ends, create a keyframe there and enter code on the keyframe.

Sound not working when watching movies from MacBook Pro 15'' in full screen

after a recent iTunes upgrade the sound will not work when I watch a movie or anything else in iTunes on my Thunderbold Display. I have the 15'' retina MacBook Pro connected to the display and it used to work flawlesly. has anyone had the same problem?

When I upgraded the volume control in iTunes (at the top) defaulted to off (all the way left) so no sound. I just slid the slider all the way to the right. Also be sure display audio is set in the preferences, sound menu

I need help getting my Thunderbolt display to work with Windows 7 through Bootcamp.

I recently bought a thunderbolt display and it works great in my Mac environment. But I recently added Bootcamp and Windows 7 (I need since my Broker Dealer only uses Internet Explorer). Unfortunately, I can't seem to get Windows to recognize my Thunderbolt display. Today, I spent 2 hours with a very kind advisor from Apple Support but we didn't have any success.
Here's my setup:
MacBook Pro (purchased new in 2011) with i7 processor
Thunderbolt Display
Lion OS (all updates installed)
Bootcamp with Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (all updates installed)
With the help of Apple Support, I downloaded and reinstalled (through the repair option) all the Bootcamp drivers. I shut down my computer, plugged in the Thunderbolt display, turned it on and booted into Windows 7. When the Windows Welcome screen appears, it shows on my Thunderbolt display for about 2-3 seconds. But the thunderbolt quickly goes black. My MacBook Pro changes to a 640x480 resolution and the Thunderbolt remains blacked out--with no signs of even a single flicker. Once the computer finishes the start-up, my MacBook Pro remains in a 640x480 resolution, with no option to change the resolution (it's grayed out in Windows control panel). If I unplug the Thunderbolt cable from my MacBook pro, the high resolution of my MacBook pro snaps back to normal.
To me, this seems like some type of driver problem but I must be missing something simple because it appears that Thunderbolt works with Bootcamp and Windows 7--based on some of the readings I've found here in the Apple support community. I'm most appreciative of anyone's help here.

Need help getting DataProvider cursor methods to work in JSC

Hi, I'm a newbie to Creator as well as JSF. I'm using JSC Update 1. I've
worked through a couple of the beginning tutorials including "Performing
Inserts, Updates, and Deletes" without a problem. I'm now trying to
craft a simple jsf database form application on my own using the sample
travel database and I'm stuck!
I put text fields on the form corresponding to each of the 4 fields in
the PERSON table and bound them to the fields in the table which, on
examination, resulted in a CachedRowSetDataProvider (personDataProvider)
in Page1 and a CachedRowSetXImpl (personRowSet) in SessionBean1. I then put 4 buttons on the form (First, Previous, Next, Last) for record
navigation. Here is the code I put in the first two actions (the others are
the same except for the cursor methods):
public String btn_firstrec_action() {
try {
personDataProvider.cursorFirst();
} catch (Exception e){
error("cursorFirst failed: " + e.getMessage());
log("cursorFirst failed " , e);
return null;
public String btn_next_action() {
try {
personDataProvider.cursorNext();
} catch (Exception e){
error("cursorNext failed: "+ e.getMessage() );
log("cursorNext failed " , e);
return null;
etc.
When I run the application using the bundled app server I get strange
behavior when I click the navigation buttons. There are 6 records in the
table. The application opens up displaying the data for the first
record. Clicking "Next" takes me to record 2--so far so good. However,
with repeated clicks on "Next", "Previous", "First" the data displayed in
the form remains the same. If I click "Last" (personDataProvider.cursorLast(); ), the data from record 6 is rendered OK!
I worked a little in the debugger. I added a cursorChanging method and
put a break point in there. Then I watched the index attributes for rk1
an rk2 as I continued the execution. I had to hit Alt+F5 (Continue)
2 to 4 times on each button click depending on the action--4X
with "Next" and "Previous". For each button click the index values would
change at first to what logically seemed the correct values but
then snap back to 0 or 1 as I kept continuing depending on the sequence--
wierd to me.
I also tried configuring all the form fields in a virtual form with
"Participate" on for the text fields and "Submit" on for the buttons
with the same result (I was really "shooting in the dark" here!).
I'm obviously missing something here--this shouldn't be this difficult!
I have scanned through a lot of the excellent tutorials, articles and forum posts as well as some of the sample apps but haven't as yet found a similar example of using the DataProvider cursor methods which seems pretty basic to me but, I could have easily missed seeing what I needed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated--I'm really counting on this tool
to get an overdue project going so I'm somewhat desperate.
Thanks, Len Sisson

This happened to me as well the first time I used the JSC (and I was a newbie in web). I believe it is because everytime you hit the button, actually the sequence of program will back to init(), button_action(), prerender(), destroy(). So, try to remember the last state of the cursor position using session variable. And then you put a code in the init() to move back to the last cursor position.
Check the sample program provided by JSC (SinglePageCrudForm). This sample demonstrate how to put a code in init(), destroy() in order to 'remember' the last position.
hope that helps

Is-32-900-Tvbu - Getting the surround sound to work with this TV

Can anybody help??
We have just bought a Is-32-900-Tvbu ISIS TV from Best Buy but we have tried wiring up our speakers and no sound is coming out of them. I dont know much about Sound Sytems so bare with me, but there is nowhere in the back of the TV to connect the speakers directly so we had the speakers conencted to a Stereo and then a lead from the Stereo to the TV (the one with the red and white connections). This worked fine on our old TV (one of the ancient bulky things) but doesnt seem to work now. The speakers work fine so its not them.
I have tried playing around with the Audio settings on the TV but nothing i do seems to make any difference.
Do you think this is a fault or am i doing something wrong??
Thanks for your help

With that TV, I believe the only audio output that it gives you is through the SCART connection. I might be wrong though. Does your stereo have a SCART connection? I've only worked with this connection once so I'm not completely farmilair with it but, I think this would be your best conneciton for audio. If your Stereo doesn't have this connection there are addaptors you can get. It's called is a Multi-AV SCART adaptor with input/output signal switch..... I think.

Need help getting my itunes library to work!!

Recently my computer CRASHED.... it wouldn't let me into windows, it was pulling all kinds of error messages. So to fix the problem I wiped the system and reinstalled everything. However, now the Itunes that came with my Ipod doesnt work... So I came here to the Apple website and downloaded and installed the LATEST version. That opened and ran fine, however it wants me to erase my Ipod because the library is on another version of Itunes and you can't have more than one. So I deleted itunes again and haven't placed it back in since I dont know what to do to fix the problem. There is nearly NO space on the computer even though there is about 1/20th of what was on it PRIOR to the crash, in it now. Can anyone help me figure out how to get my itunes to work again without completely erasing my ipod?

There is nearly NO space on the computer even though there is about 1/20th of what was on it PRIOR to the crash, in it now
I highly suggest before you fix your computer before you worry about getting iTunes installed, especially since you seem to be missing a large portion of your HD space.
To get music off your iPod, there are lots of applications to do this.

Need help getting my 120g hd to work

hello there folks,
i was wondering if i could get some help with a hard drive issue. i recntly got a g4 that was thrown out due to upgrading. i was told the only thing wrong with it was that the hard drive was taken out. so i went out and got a 120g hd and installed it. the machine turns on and all, every thing is cool. the thing is, it running of a 25g hd. what i want to do is make the 120g drive i bought the main drive. i want to run everything off this drive. is that the right thing to do? should i still use the 25g drive? i don't realy know. i went to disk utilitys but cant figure out how to do this. can some one help me. im just not that good at this kind of stuff yet. hope i explained my self corectly. please don't laugh at me im not a mac genius yet. lol
thanks in advance.

im on the computer now, so it must be the corect one right?
would the computer still run if it was the wrong drive.
what do i have to do?

I'm JS illiterate, need help getting an Acrobat form to work like the Excel file I made it from.

Hi folks.
I am tasked to put together a purchase order request form and it has to be in PDF format.
I originally built it in Excel, and after a day and a half of googling, I finally came upon the formula(s) that make 2 of columns interact the way I want them to.
Column A ("Line Item Number") triggers its corresponding cell in Column C ("Obligate/Deobligate") in the following way:
If the A cell is blank, its corresponding C cell diplays "O/D"
If the A cell has a number entered into it which is the same as any cell above it, the corresponding C cell displays "Deobligate"
If the A cell has a number entered into it which is different than every cell above it, the corresponding C cell displays "Obligate"
The formula I used, starting in the second C cell is:
=IF(A2="","O/D",IF(COUNTIF(A1:A1,A2),"Deobligate","Obligate"))
And it changes down the column ending at the 23rd C cell with:
=IF(A23="","O/D",IF(COUNTIF(A1:A22,A23),"Deobligate","Obligate"))
Will this even translate into Javascript? And if it does, I assume that I would paste the script into the "Calculate" portion of the form field properties, is this correct?
Also, (I realize I'm asking a lot), if the correct code is fast and easy for someone here to whip up, I would appreciate it, since as I said before, I really don't know the first thing about JS, or coding in general.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, it should be a custom calculate script. Here's a sample one below. It assumes the fields are named "A1", "A2", ..."A23". You will have to change the value of the "row" variable for each script, which is currently set to 2, meaning it should go in the A2 field. This really should be a function in a document-level JavaScript to it can be called by passing the row number or extracting it from the value of event.target.name, but it should get you started. Note that I didn't test it, so it might need some tweaking:
// Custom Calculation script for row 2
(function () {
    // Row number of this field
    var row = 2;
    // Get the value of the A column field
    var sVal = getField("A" + row).valueAsString;
    var sVal2;
     // Set this field value to "O/D" if blank
    if (!sVal) {
        event.value = "O/D";
        return;
    // Scan the previous rows to see if any match this value
    for (var i = 1; i < row; i += 1) {
        // Get the current row value
        sVal2 = getField("A" + i).valueAsString;
        // See if it matches
        if (sVal2 === sVal) {
            event.value = "Deobligate";
            return;
     // No match was found. so set this field value to "Obligate"
    event.value = "Obligate";

Need help getting this Java app to work on Mac OS X

Aloha all,
I am testing this new Java app that was built that is based on th Axis and Allies strategy gaming engine. On the PC the author wrote a .bat file to launch the app and the JVM. But when I try and enter the arguments on the Mac OS X via the terminal window I get the Usage/Options argument options back. The ,bat file goes as follows:
java -Xincgc -classpath ../classes;../lib/crimson.jar;../lib/jaxp.jar games.strategy.engine.framework.GameRunner
It looks to me as if OS X if having problems with -Xincgc argument. I checked to see if I needed to download the JVM, but according to Apple it is already built in. Is there another way to enter the arguments to get this app to launch?
Maui Duck

Does OS X use ';' as a separator like windows, or does it use ':' like UNIX. that might be the problem.

Need Help Getting New iPod Classic to work on system with existing iPods

I have an iPod shuffle (for workouts) and an iPod photo 60GB which I have had for some time. I have iTunes 8.
Got a new iPod Classic 120 GB for Father's Day - I cannot get it to work with iTunes yet. Plugged it in and nothing happened. iTunes just acted normal, no setup assistant, nothing. Going to reboot and see if it does the same thing, but in the meantime I am hoping someone here can advise.
Thanks in advance,
jf

Turns out, of all things, it was the cable - seems the 'old' cable does not work with new iPods, but the newer cable that comes with Classics works with everything - cable was updated somehow, per Apple.
Thanks,
jf
