Need specifications on External Soundblaster USB MP3+ u

Most importantly i'm interested in what this little silver box has for a signal-to-noise ratio .. secondly, I installed it on my laptop and WinXP detected it and auto-installed it as a "USB Audio Device" and it works great.. thing is, i'd like to take advantage of the EAX functions and other things.. what solitary program do I need from the Creative Support file section that will allow me to adjust the bass, treble, eax, etc. ? Thanks.

Just get a /8 to RCA cable for the card and two Mono /4 jacks to RCA adapters for the speakers?If you use the mono jacks the negati've signal will be grounded and shunted with the negati've signal and so it works. Wenn You said the signal was crystal clear ... you actually connected the left to the positi've input and right to the negati've input, unless You used mono jacks and in that case unbalancing was performed, but the right signal was shorted... but the card can handle this short.

  • Need a good external case

    Hello there. Does anyone know of a good external firewire & USB 2.0 case for a DVD burner? I also need it to work with Mac & PC. Any ideas?

    I'm very happy with the external cases by http://www.granitedigital.com/ (also known as Relax Technologies). I haven't used one that has USB 2, but there 1170 case is very good for hard drives. Not sure though how well it will work with a DVD burner. Might want to check http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/ to see if there are any issues with specific cases on DVD burners.

  • 10.9.2 install Bootcamp win7 64bit iMac mid 2010 no bootable device - external superdrive, USB Stick

    Hey all,
    big problem here.
    Trying to install Bootcamp on my iMac 27" mid 2010.
    The thing is, during the installation, i get the "no bootable device" black screen, and i think i know why... but i need help.
    System, a mid 2010 imac, 2TB HD ( Original) and an SSD Samsung 1TB at the Optical Drive SATA connection.
    2TB HD is empty atm. OSX Installed on the SSD.
    Bootcamp Assistant. Problem nr. 1.
    He first did not want to let me create an USB drive. after hacking the assistat, deleting the "Pre" thing in the info.plist, that worked so far.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5479879?start=105&tstart=0 and several other postings got me so far.
    Then when using the assistant, after choosing partition and so, when the iMac restarts, i get the "no bootable device" notice.
    Read a lot, and it seems, that older iMacs, that originaly came with an internal superdrive only can install win 7 from that internal superdrive.
    I have the problem, that i had it removed to put the SSD there.
    So, when doing an EFI Boot, choosing the win USB Stick or the Win in my External Superdrive, - "no bootable...."
    So i searched more. rEFIt should help. Installed, and all, doesnt work, same thing. As soon as i want to boot Win from the CD or Thumpdrive, doesnt work. :-(
    In one of the many posts, someone wrote something about starting Shell in rEFIt first, etc... didnt work as well.
    then i found this post:
    http://www.andrewsavory.com/blog/2011/2156
    sounded promissing. Somehow getting win installation files onto the Created Bootcamp partion with Virtual Mashine. But it didnt work for me.
    The VW Fusion ware is different, and non of the steps he discribes works.
    So how can i get it working.. it seems like it is somehow blocked to access something from the USB Ports.
    Logicaly i would have to get the installation files onto a Internal drive. i Tried to create a partition and copy the Win 7 USB Thump using Disk Util Progeam onto a seperate, internal partition.. but he just does not what to do that... errormessages when trying to copy it, recreate the drive, etc.
    So, i do have a 2TB internal HD, which i can use, an external superdrive, USB.Sticks. any gameplan?
    And for Error-excluding: i have an original Win 7 64 bit CD, a burnd one and controled the Hash of the loaded ISO, which i downloaded for the USB-Stick.
    Any help? pls!!!

    Hi Sam, the Mini Optical may draw too much USB power.
    Can you restore that .iso to the Flash Drive as a CD/DVD instead of an image file?

  • Booting Windows on Intel Mac from an external Firewire/USB hard disk?

    Is it possible to boot an Intel iMac from an external hard disk - in target disk mode etc., without having to install Boot Camp?
    I have a spare drive with installed XP on it and I need to find out what is on the drive before re-formatting. However, I only have my mac in which to do so. The extra disk will be used in an external firewire/USB 2.0 caddy. I have researched some methods, but they are all very long winded and require a PC or the creation of a Windows partition on my start-up disk using Boot Camp.

    "Is it possible to boot an Intel iMac from an external hard disk - in target disk mode etc., without having to install Boot Camp?"
    No.

  • External drive - USB or Fire wire or AC

    Hello I dont know where to put this question so: Which would be the best for a 500GB external drive, USB & fire wire or AC? I want a portable external drive (2.5) but am not sure whether AC is best route or if USB/Fire wire?
    Thank you
    Veedeekay

    Which would be the best for a 500GB external drive, USB & fire wire
    Use FireWire, not USB.
    I ALWAYS build my own drive (takes 5 mins). More storage and less money.
    
I like the TD-M120 enclosure, it's the best I know of.
    Has a cooling fan, shock absorbers, and all the ports you will ever need.

  • Do you need a special external hard drive for iMac?

    Do you need a special external hard drive for iMac?

    Any external hard drive that will connect via Firewire 800, USB, or Thunderbolt will work.
    I have a 750GB Western Digital Scorpio drive in an OWC case, sitting on a Backpack, which connects via Firewire.  Western Digital Scorpio drives have 5 year warranties, the OWC (macsales.com) cases usually use the Oxford chipset which works well with macs, and the Backpack is a slick way to mount a backup drive without taking up desk space.
    After you hook up whatever external drive you end up with, you'll partition and initialize it for OS X, then begin using it.
    My opinion, I would not get a Western Digital pre-packaged external drive/case.  While the hard drives are OK, there have been a number of people that have had issues with the electronics.

  • Msi usb mp3 player i/o error

    i recently connected my megastick usb mp3 player and windows diaplyed a window that says: the request could not be performed because of an i/o device error. Now i can not store files to my usb mp3 player. How do i fix this problem???

    An I / O error often indicates a read/write problem to the device, oftern ocours more on Harddisk dri'ves. Upgrading the firmware to the player should sort this out, otherwise there may be someting else wrong with the player. For example the player cannot read/write to a specific cluster on the harddisk. But as the player is PSS (i think), (Portable Solid State) then this is a bit odd, but could possibly be the same problem as above , not read/writeing to a specifc sector/cluster of the memory.

  • Need help on buying FIREWIRE/USB-compatible for Logic Pro 9.0.2 on my SL

    Hi...Im in needs of help in my new OS Mac World.Had my Logic Pro 9(9.0.2) install in my Snow Leopard(10.6.3).Need help on buying FIREWIRE/USB-compatible for Logic Pro 9.0.2 on my Snow Leopard.Just a real basic audio interface that works with my Macbook pro Specification.You're help will be much more appreciated..
    Best Regards:RatzyMazzy

    In any case I would suggest to get an audio interface which is *Core Audio* compatible. This means that you just need to plug it in and it will work with OS X’s integrated driver. I once had an M-Audio interface which needed its own driver and it had latency problems because of them. I am currently using the EDIROL FA-66 with 10.6.3 on my MacBook Pro. It still works flawlessly and has worked without problems in the past with 10.4 and 10.5, too. Here is how it looks like: http://www.rolandus.com/products/productdetails.php?ProductId=731
    I have also heard good things about the FireWire interfaces from Presonus, like the FireBox.

  • Can anyone tell me how to allow 3 groups access to use a specific brand and model USB, dissallowin all other brands in AD 2008 R2 and Linux enviroments

    We currently do not allow users to use USBs of any kind, but I need to allow admins and 2 other groups to be able to use a specific brand and model USB. I think this might involve writting some scripts, and or modifying the Master Schema in AD. But frankly
    I dont know where to begin, can anyone help me with this.

    I presume group policy can't be really applied to non windows OS where as for windows OS, you can either import the adm or use the current gpo settings.

  • Backup external HD USB-connected to TC via Time Machine

    Hi
    I am wondering whether it is possible to backup the content of an external hard drive that is directly connected to Time Capsule via Time Machine in addition to backing up the MBP HD.
    My (relevant) setup:
    MacBook Pro Late 2013 OS-X Mavericks
    TimeCapsule 3TB gigabit ethernet connected to speedport W921V router
    WD MyPassport 2TB external HD USB-connected to Time Capsule
    TimeMachine is happily backing up my MBP drive to the TC, so this is all clear
    Is it possible to configure TimeMachine to also backup the data on the external WD HD to the Time Capsule? If so, where and how do I need to configure this?
    Thx
    Joe

    I would never use TM the way I have suggested you use it.. which is very naughty of me.. so I do not know exactly how TM will react.. it should not be a problem.. It does not care if a source is missing.. just the destination.
    I was trying to give you a solution to your problem.. without you incurring extra expenses. It is the wrong way to do it.. and is why I would never do it.. IMHO TM is great for what it does.. incremental updates of your main drive.. it is LOUSY.. as a way of backing up an external drive.. because it will have huge issues recovering it.
    second question: CCC would then replace time machine as backup SW, correct?
    No, the idea is to run both. TM provides a huge benefit to setting up a new computer for instance.. if the old computer is stolen or lost or damaged.. you can migrate from TM to the new computer (at least you can on a good day. it is not unknown for TM to fail completely). You do this easily as if the old computer was sitting there and you were running files between the two. It is also as stated above a good incremental backup software.
    What it is LOUSY at, is complete disk recovery.. it is even more lousy .. lousier at recovering the disk that is not the main OS.
    Just glance through this forum area or do a search for TM recovery issues.. it is a most difficult software. And of late in Mavericks has become worse than ever. You do not want to have a situation where you believe you have a backup and actually don't. Or your photo library or itunes you expect is backed up and is actually not.. or happens to be corrupted without telling you.
    Step in CCC.. it is able to create backups in situations where TM cannot.. ie from network drives. It can produce a bootable image.. so if your computer disk failed you would be up and running again in 2min flat by plugging in a USB drive with the image. You can even use it to incrementally backup.. but I don't use it that way. Two completely different backup softwares offers you more than double the protection.. because IMHO TM is so complicated half the time you cannot get what you want out of it. CCC is simple.. it makes images and adds files in a completely standard backup way. ie a file can be simply copied out of the disk image and back to the computer without any software backup recovery running. The files are in plain sight.. easy to reach and use. In TM it is hugely complicated.. read how TM works. It is helpful to understand the difference.
    http://pondini.org/TM/Works.html
    Also read pondini's take on using disk images.
    http://pondini.org/TM/Clones.html
    His recommendation is what i also think is the best.. use both.. each has good and bad points.. using two completely different methods gives you a huge improvement in the value of the backups.. and CCC is easy to produce a clone to store offsite adding hugely to your benefit..
    For $40 license makes a lot of sense to me. 

  • Newb Questions - USB MP3+ Full Dupl

    I have just purchased a USB MP3+ external sound card. I have been told that "all low cost PC sound cards support full duplex" (simultaneous record and play) operation. I would like to confirm this before opening the box. I have downloaded the manual, looked over the online comparison charts and nowhere does it mention whether or not the MP3+ supports this. Does anyone know the answer to this?
    Thanks,
    Wylie

    Yes it does full duplex, so you can finally open it after waiting over 3 years.

    Hi
    Did you get the same error message connecting another external USB 2.0 HDD or an USB flash memory stick to this notebook?
    Test this
    Maybe it HDD issue.
    Furthermore the USB 2.0 provides an 500mA power if an external USB HDD or USB device would need more power, an issue could appear.
    In such case its recommended to connect an USB hub with an external power source between the notebook and USB device

  • Booting From SD Card, External Drive, USB Stick, etc...

    If you configure an external HD, usb stick, sd card, etc. to be a startup volume for your mac, does the computer write or otherwise use the computer's 'default' internal hard drive?
    For example, if I insert an sd card into an iMac and boot off of that and open safari and visit a website, once I startup again from the iMac's internal drive, will that appear in the safari's history when booting up again form the internal HD?
    Will there be any trace otherwise of anything I do while booted from the sd card?
    If I sent the iMac to DriveSavers or some other computer forensic analysis place would they find anything on the internal drive?
    I'm inclined to think they would not, but I was hoping this could evolve into a technical discussion with somebody perhaps being knowledgable enough to explain how data travels from the internet, over the ethernet connection, to the motherboard, and then the hard drive. I try to visualize it, myself having a basic understanding, and I think that if there is an entirely different boot volume being used, the 'secondary' volume wouldn't even get written to - unless I obviousy elected to save a file to it.
    *Oh, without sending super sketchy I thought maybe I should put this question into context. So, I'm a college student and I was thinking that maybe I could just spend a hundred bucks on an sd card and always have it with me and just go to the library or lab (or local apple store? thought I think they don't allow it) and boot from a 'host mac'. My concern is that I don't want to leave traces of a paper, or email, or private chat, or browsing history on the computer's internal hard drive.  If this works I'll save like $1,000 - to a college kid that's like a billion dollars, even in this economy.
    Thank you very much!
    Tom

    Each boot drive will use a different set of home folders, so the history and other settings created in one will not be available in the other.
    The operating system is just software that loads from a storage device. For Macs this can be the internal drive, an external drive, a DVD, or a networked volume. This software loads at boot and allows use of the system's hardware (mouse, keyboard, graphics processors, etc.). Booting does not require the use of the internal drive. When the system is powered on it gets a list of all attached storage devices and will preferentrially try to load an operating system from the default boot device, but if it cannot or if it's instructed to look elsewhere (e.g., if you hold the C key to boot to a DVD), then it will load the operating system software from a different location.
    When the system has an specific boot drive loaded, it will reference every location of where to save things from that drive. This is the "root" of the system, on which the system has references to storage locations both on the "root" drive and to those on other storage devices. Very briefly, the system sees your external drives simply as folders on your boot drive.
    If you boot to an external drive, then this will be the "root" drive, and your system's internal drives will be likewise seen as folders like any other secondary storage locations.
