Need Sound Card Compatible With Intel D975XBX Mobo and Windows 7

Did a search and no joy. I built a home theater computer about 5 years ago around the D975XBX,? I was using the Sigmatel integrated sound via toslink to my receiver without any problems. I installed W7 yesterday only to find that there are no Intel mobo drivers for W7. So before I go throught he hassle and expense of replacing the mobo and processor, are there any sound cards that are compatible with this mobo and W7? I don't do gaming on this machine, or 3D, mainly 5. out to my receiver. Thanks.
Tim?

DWell, I'll answer my own question. Finding it very hard to belei've that a driver wasn't available for the Sigmatel, I upgraded the Bios, then did another seach. Cha-ching, money!
I really like SB cards, but I don't like spending money when I don't have to.
Even though Intel said it stopped supporting?the mono?in '08, the bios was an '09 version. This may be helpful to others who are using this mobo.

Fieldpoint Hardware Drivers that are compatible with LV 8.5 and Windows Vista

I trying to develop in LabVIEW for some Fieldpoint hardware. I was going to download the hardware drivers from NI, but only see drivers that are compatible with Windows XP and LV 8.2
Or, am I just misinterpreting this?
Also, are there any potential conflicts with me developing on Vista, if my end-user, is uding another OS?

One should welcome adversity as an opportunity to excel.

Hi Daddy-O,
Thank you for contacting National Instruments. This is a little misleading, and unfortunately the driver you are looking for is currently not directly searchable. In order to use your FieldPoint hardware with LabVIEW 8.5 and Windows Vista, you will need the FieldPoint 6.0 driver. This can be found within the disk that is distributed with new FieldPoint hardware, and any Device Drivers CD from August 2007 forward. Unfortunately, a standalone installer is not available for this driver, and if you do not have a hard copy of the Device Drivers, you can download this here. From this installer, you should be able to select FieldPoint 6.0 and install this software.
I hope this helps! Let me know if there is anything else I can clarify. Have a great day!

X-fi fatality sound card compatible with nforce

I have?cleared my cmos?updated by bios and?tried the clean boot?install creative suggest, disabled onboard sound in bios/device manager, upgraded to sp2,? used driver cleaner, and switched pci slots. After I install the drivers and reboot the system it just hangs and wont boot to windows.

Ok thanks, good to know I have a chance at this. I will see if I can install in a different machine incase the cards defecti've. The strange part about this install is that windows couldnt find the card if I had my on board sound disabled in bios or in device manager. Windows would recognize the new hardware found and it showed up under device manager but after the drivers were installed it no longer showed up in device manager.

Is Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 NX USB sound card compatible with Dell deskt

Im considering buying the Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 NX USB sound card to use with a Dell desktop XPS 40, but recently read a forum message on another page that there was a issue with installing on a Dell Tower but no problems with installing on a laptop
any help is appreciated if there are any compatibility issues with using this sound card on a Dell desktop, Thanks
the main reason I would like to upgrade to this card is so my pc doesnt use the integrated audio which Id like better quality performance with a sound card and also dont want to install a internal card on the system

joaolfb,
Audigy 2 NX will need to be connected with the power adaptor inorder to run. USB will not be enough to sustain the power consumption of the sound card.

Help, need a card compatible with the Platinum Live bay that uses the SB Live E400 midi dri

Help , have just got a used Soundblaster Li've Platinum card and i/o bay to ease in the production of backing tracks for li've gigs etc, my old card is a li've value soundblaster that uses a Midi driver called SB Li've E400 in addition to the Sb Li've A400 and the B400 which i used to assign soundfonts etc because they are not suitable for bass and drums ,very soft sounding but i need the Sb Li've E400 to get the loud and powerful drum and bass sounds so important for my work, the Platinum set has a card Model number sb0060 and the midi input driver is called MIDI UART with midi outputs being Sb Li've UART which results in no audio o/p if assigned to a midi channel and the Li've synth A and B ,similiar to my li've value card . my Soundblaster value card is a sb0220? allthough the Platinum card is great for plugging guitars straight in and the optical output is great for recording onto mindisc the sound quality is crap,not in the same class as my old li've value card? anyone got any ideas,dont know where to go next? Cheers George.

wouldnt put 2 sound cards in but you could try attaching the sb li've dri've to card, it will either work or it ownt, it will not work with remote, but it may just work as an io panle for your mid etc..
However if it was my hardware i would try as thats my right and my hardware i may break, so you would do this at your own risk.

Audigy 2 ZS notebook sound card compatible with Lenovo X6

I have to admit I probably made a mistake for rushing to?EBAY to get a creative Audigy 2 ZS notebook sound card, which?is intended to be used for my Lenovo X6t tablet pc. The problem is I just did some research and found my PCMCIA driver "RICOH R/RL/5C476(II)" is sitting?on their list of incompatibility.
Do anyone have any experience on this matter? It is true it really will not work?
Please help.

Simple problem... The soundcard is playing a sound appx. second after the sound is actually supposed to play. When I take out the card, everything is fine. Anyone know the fix? Thanks.
Do you mean you can hear the sound even Audigy is not connected? --> if yes, then just disable the onboard sound (from BIOS or/and device manager).
If you're playing some external instrument (etc.) or from some audio/media player then, it's latency question --> try w/ ASIO (you need to cahnge to the advanced mode) latency set around 0ms or decrease buffer size on playback software.

Is the FX5200-T128 video card compatible with an Athlon 64 CPU and a K8N mobo?

I am building a new computer based on the Athlon 64 3000 processor and the mobo MSI K8N Neo-FSR.
I intended to use MSI MS-8907 GeForce FX5200-T128 as the video card.
However I have been told that this video card might not be compatible either with the Athlon 64 processors or with the mobo MSI K8N Neo-FSR.
Is it compatible or not?
If it's not compatible, what is the cheapest MSI video card compatible with the Athlon 64 and the K8N?
Thank you in advance for your help.

If it's there, it means they at least inserted the card, booted, and installed drivers, as far as what they do from that point is anyones guess. You will see the far right column shows 4x or 8x.
I agree, it is minimal info at best and not my idea of what should be included in a test report.
I don't see any reason why that card would not work, the market is saturated with that type of card.

Is NVIDIA GeForce 6600 card compatible with OpenGL 2.0?

Hi there -
Is my GeForce 6600 card compatible with openGL 2.0?
I have some software that tells me it is not and I've just spent lots of money buying it - I did make a quick check on-line before making my software purchase and found out that the whole 6000 series was compatible.
Reading again it says it has been OK for 2.1 from June 2006 onwards. I bought my Mac in May 2006
Can I install a new driver or something (almost sounds like I know what I'm talking about)?
If so is this something I can do or do I have to take my whole machine to the hospital?
I'm not that confident messing with too much technical stuff so treat me like an idiot ... please!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards - Deano

Hi-
Back from work......
BD has you going the right direction on RAM.
CS4 needs as much RAM as you can throw at it.
Buy only guaranteed Mac compatible RAM.
As for hard drive, getting a TB or so for storage is great, but you also need a fast scratch drive, separate from the system drive.
Improvements to hard drive technology have been made since the G5 was released, so replacing the system drive with a new one is a good idea.
For the fastest system drive, which helps overall performance, the Western Digital Velociraptor 300GB is an ideal candidate.
For more of a budget drive, but still fast, a WD6400AAKS 640GB drive is an overall winner, with fast read and write times, and all that capacity confined to two platters in the drive.
This is one of the keys to the drives performance prowess.
For scratch, you will have large files that are written, changed, erased, as filters, etc. are applied.
PS gobbles drive space even more than it eats RAM.
Again, the WD6400AAKS, or a WD1001FALS 1TB drive is what you should look at.
And when we talk scratch drives, I mean that it does nothing else.
Not for file storage, etc.
File storage needs to be relegated to a third drive for system optimization.
To recap, a fast boot drive (OS and applications only), a scratch drive, and as many file storage drives as you need for multiple copies (min 2) of all work.
As for graphics card, yes there is improvement to be had, especially with regard to OpenGL support in CS4.
PS also leverages the GPU of the graphics card, so power is desired.
A Mac 7800GT, Radeon X1900 G5 Edition, or a flashed Geforce 7800GTX are the three top performing cards.
A Geforce FX4500 is also a possible candidate if your pockets are very deep.
http://www.jcsenterprises.com/Japamacs_Page/Blog/71BBF3EF-9713-4C53-8B80-26771F8 A4087.html
Of the three cards, the 7800GTX is the top card, and is relatively easy to find. The 512MB version is the most desirable.
You will be looking on eBay for Mac compatible PCIe graphics cards in one of the flavors that I have named.

USB-3 card reader that is compatible with MacBook Pro (Retina) and Mountain Lion

Can anybody recommend a USB-3 based CompactFlash memory card reader that works with the MacBook Pro (Retina) and Mountain Lion (or, at least, Lion)?
Thanks in advance...

Thanks for your reply, Clinton. But I already have two readers that are USB-2 compatible. Now I need the one like I described above. I am using only the fastest CF cards available.
I have read some user reports (on Amazon) on two readers relevant to my needs - SanDisk and Lexar - but I'm still not sure whether they are fully compatible with the Retina MacBook and Mountain Lion. As a matter of fact, I doubt it...

Is MAC Pro (late 2013) compatible with Intel E5 or E7 Series 10 core CPU

Is MAC Pro (late 2013) compatible with Intel E5 or E7 series 10 core CPU?

http://macperformanceguide.com/MacPro2013-CPU-upgrade.html
Someone did some testing and these Xeon processors scale differently, turbo-boost means it can put a core to sleep when it isn't needed and give more to the cores that are.
But, the number of apps that do use more than 8-core are in short supply.
Then there is the contention between cooling and whether the cpu or the twin GPUs get preference, OS X won't allow both to ask for full 100%.
We assume you know all there is about cpu scaling and usage and just need to see which ones are on Intel's list that are pin compatible and have the right thermal requirements and such.
Fall is always IDF and v3 of the E5

IMovie plug ins not compatible with Intel Macs

I need a page turn transition for an iMovie 6 project I'm working on. I downloaded one from cfx, but apparently a lot of the plug ins are not compatible with Intel Macs. Anyone out there have any suggestions?

Any GeeThree plug-in that uses flash will no longer work, which include all the WildFX plug-ins. Apple did away with flash support in Quicktime 7.3.1 or newer! Now iMovie is basically unusable without the very cool & professional GeeThree plug-ins. If Apple keeps this up iMovie will probably go the way of the dinosaur. I've talked to Apple about this and they responded "why don't you buy Finalcut Pro". It's what Apple does best, Farm the base.....

BT voyager 205 compatible with intel macs?

Anyone in UK know if BT voyager 205 is compatible with intel macs?
Ive just found out my old speedtouch USB330 isnt yet intel mac compatible and need to buy a cheap new one.
Thanks

Steve,
Don't worry about it... and a warm welcome to Apple Discussions
Unfortunately, there isn't a way, currently, to remove posts although you do have a 15 minute window to make any modifications.
I suspect the 205 that you received and did not work was either faulty or was not set up properly.
Your recommendation of the 210 is a good one and if they are priced similarly then, as I said, the 210 would be a better investment.

Can I get my GTX 670 card to be compatible with Prem Pro CC and Speedgrade cc on my windows machine?

Can I get my GTX 670 card to be compatible with Prem Pro CC and Speedgrade cc on my windows machine?

No need to hack anything in CC:
"(...) This is no longer necessary in Premiere Pro CC. As long as you have a reasonably modern card with at least 1GB of VRAM, you will still be able to enable that card in the Project Settings dialog. A warning message will appear letting you know that your card has not been certified by Adobe, but once that dialog is clicked through you can use your GPU."
See details here:
http://blogs.adobe.com/premierepro/2013/06/adobe-premiere-pro-cc-and-gpu-support.html
AFAIK SpeedGrade uses CUDA and/or OpenCL depending on availability, so no type or model white-list, with this one limitation only for Direct Link on Mac: only NVIDIA OpenCL is supported (NVIDIA CUDA and AMD OpenCL are not currently available with Direct Link on the Mac platform).
