New PC, Xfi, driver installed, sound disapears after a short time

Help.
I have a new computer which i've been looking forward to some time.
I think my motherboard is Asus P32N SLI or something similiar.
Quad core and X-fi music on Vista Premium
I installed the drivers from the CD and rebooted then I couldnt change speaker settings from 2. or 5. (depending which time I tried), I want 7. but it just reverts back to those.
I used Auto update and rebooted, the sound of windows starting up came and then on windows nothing, on the test sound in control panel I get "Failed to play test tone" and nothing works, yet the device is there, its got drivers, and I can't figure it out.
Please help!
Many thanks
David

Nope,
But I just discovered that that it is actually not only the sound that stops working but rather the whole video that has a "hick-up" and then when it continues the sound is gone. If I fastforward/rewind then it seem like the player rocovers and play the stream correctly again.
What are the Mp4 clip prefs you have used when converting?
I am planning to try some other settings when converting to see if that makes any difference but I doubt it will help. I think we will have to wait for a "better" i.e. working Video Player for the iPod ...

TS1538 My iTunes, after a short time, decides not to be able to recognize my devices, the only thing that fixes it is a re-install of itunes. it is getting irritating as this will be the 7th time i have had to do it. Any solutions?

The info that was on the old iPhone can only be retreived either by restoring from iCloud/iTunes back up or syncing from iCloud. You need to chek these places and if nothing is there then I'm sorry that data is gone and you will only have the back ups you see.
But check iTunes back ups:

Firefox stops working after a short time of running, I keep getting a Net Error message

I am very frustrated with Firefox! I can load firefox fine in the morning, but after a short time it quits working & I get a Net Error message. I notice it most on Facebook! When I click like, it won't do nothing but sut there working, if open in a new tab, I get the net error message. I try to open other websites & get the net error message. I checked & I am running the latest version. I am running fine on IE, but I like Firefox! I've been using it for years with no problems, but after an update is when I started experiencing problems. I waited thinking, firefox will fix it with another update, but no fix! I am running Windows 7 on a Gateway computer & have had no problems with older versions of Firefox. I'm sending all this information via Internet Exployer since Firefox won't work!

Why do the "SAVE", "SAVE AS" and "UNDO" functions of InDesign CS6 stop working after a short time?

Why do the "SAVE", "SAVE AS" and "UNDO" functions of InDesign CS6 stop working after a short time?

Normally they don't. You might have some sort of problem on your system, possibly a conflict with other software, or corrupt ID prefs or application. Trashing the prefs is easy, and good place to start: Replace Your Preferences
It will help if you tell us the OS version, whther you've installed the 8.0.1 patch, and how you are trying to access the commands, and what happens when you do. Is this isolated to one file, or does it happen with all files?

New 945GCM5, unable to install sound device

Hi all, please help,
I used the parts on the list below for a friends PC whose old motherboard was fried by power fault, some parts used, some new.
Anyway, I installed all the parts into his case along with the old hard drive. Formatted and installed Windows XP and then started to install the drivers from the CD for the Intel chipset, Intel onboard VGA drivers, Realtek NIC and Realtek HD Audio driver.
All the drivers installed and recognised the devices except the sound drivers. No matter what I do I can't get windows to install the drivers, it just won't recognise the drivers as belonging to the device.
The device shows up in Device Manager as PCI Device with the yellow exclamation mark to show a problem, when I disable the onboard sound in BIOS it disappears so it is definitely the sound device (onboard Realtek ALC888 chip, I believe).
What I have tried so far,
1. Tried install from CD.
2. Downloaded latest drivers from MSI, and tried install.
3. Downloaded latest drivers from Realtek, and tried install.
4. Tried to update driver from driver tab of device in Device Manager with the above drivers.
5. Formatted and reinstalled XP over again, and tried 1 to 4 again.
Is there a problem with the motherboard? Am I wasting my time?
Is there a way to force the install of the drivers?
Sorry if I've gone on a bit too long! Any help would be much appreciated, I've spent ages trying to fix it!

Your problem may have to do with SP3. There are known problems with SP3 and KB88111 / Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) High Definition Audio class driver.
Try this:

DC7700 can't detect and install sound card after update to Windows 7

I've been trying to get the sound on my HP DC7700 Ultra Slim desktops to work for a few months now (I'm a teacher at a high school, so I have about 100+ of them to take care of). I've upgraded them from XP to Windows 7, and the computers no longer recognize the sound card.
I have tried installing the Realtek driver from their site and HP's, I've tried updating the UAA architecture as suggested in other posts here and here.
In device manager, all hardware has been detected and correct drivers have been installed, including PCI and chipset drivers.
Randomly, ONE DC7700 with a unique hard drive worked. I painstakingly checked every single driver installed and found the two that were different:
"Realtek High Definition Audio" under "Sound, video and game controllers"
"High Definition Audio Controller" under "System devices"
Pictures of the driver details for both are posted below.
I am completely at a loss as to how to accomplish this successfully, and I appreciate any help. Our school is depressingly poor, and without sound videos are completely useless to them.
Thank you in advance for your time,
Kris Brackebusch

Hi, Kris:
Try reinstalling W7 on one of them that doesn't have audio.
On that model, W7 should be installing a generic HD audio driver that works and then you can install the Realtek HD audio driver either from the dc7700 support page or the latest one from Realtek.
You do not need the MS UAA Bus driver, because that is only for XP.
UAA is included native to Vista and newer versions of Windows.
I do not recommend you install it in an effort to resolve the issue.
I have worked on dc7600's dc7700's and the newer Elite 8xxx models, which all have the Realtek HD audio chip.
Never had a problem getting the sound to work right from the upgrade.
The HD audio is the driver that Windows installs natively.
The Realtek HD audio driver is from Realtek.

New WD Hard Drive Installed - Defective? How to Fix? Please Help!

Hello,
I have a Mac Pro that I bought in March of 2008 (refurbished form Apple). Last week I bought a new internal hard drive for it (Western Digital Caviar Black 1 TB Hard Drive SATA3G / 7200 / 32 MB. (My original hard drive is 250GB SATAT 3G / 7200 rpm / 8 MB.)
I installed it in bay 2 and successfully formatted it. Ever since it has been in the computer, I hear loud buzzing sounds coming from it. They grow louder and then die away (it takes about 5 seconds for this cycle to happen). This cycle then repeats itself about every 30 seconds. Sometimes the buzzing cycles will get quieter and quieter until they stop all together, and then will start back up again. There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to why this happens. Does anyone know what may be going on or if this is a defective drive and I should return it? Any help is greatly appreciated!!! Thank you so much!

We call it case or drive hum. And it seems like a harmonic clash of two devices, or the 2nd hard drive causing the case itself (metal case).
There are shock absorbent washers on the side metal door.
Drive is attached and firmly installed and the latch on the back is securely in down and lock position.
And of course it still happens.
Me, I'd pull the old inefficient 250GB drive with 8MB cache, the Seagate 7200.9s that some shipped with were horrible performance and noise).
What I do with drive is run it through WD Lifeguard in Windows a couple times (Extended Test, full format instead of quick).
Some people sought out drive sled anti-vibration washers to fit to the sled (can't change the height though in order to fit properly).
Turn off "allow drives to spin down when not in use" if on.

New HD and OS installed, but system gets slower as time goes by

I have just put in a new 250GB HD, a new DVD-R drive, and installed a new OS(10.4.11). When the Powerbook first boots up, it works fine, but as time goes by(just a few minutes even), the system gets bogged down and eventually grinds to a halt. I've been told the HD is "leaking" to a file and the file is getting bigger and bigger to the point that the system can't run. I've watched the HD and I don't see any files getting bigger, but the HD "GB available" gets smaller and smaller(starting at 221GB and going down to below 200GB. Not sure what to do next. Please help.

Use Activity Monitor to see what is hogging your CPU cycles and slowing the machine down. The difference between 200GB available and 221GB available is not causing the slowdown. The process that is consuming enough CPU cycles to write 21GB of data to the hard drive is your problem.

HT4356 What printers beside HP will work continuously with an i-pad? I tried Canon and Epson and both time-out after a short time, requiring the user to re-initialize. This defeats the idea of a wireless printer, Thanks Art

What printers besides Hp will work continuously with an i-pad? I tried Canon and Epson and both time-out after a short period of time rerquiring the user to re-initialize, which defeats the purpose of wireless printing. Please help, Apple can not. Thanks to all. Art

Canon support told me that the I-pad printer driver would not work with any printer, including HP. They offered to fix the problem for $50. I turned them down.
If they really could fix the problem, they must be saying to update the printers firmware. Look on the cannon website & update the priners firmware. While you at it, update the routers firmware.
What printer do you have?

Cover flow: the cover area turns black or white after a short time

Hi
Does anyone know why my iTunes has begun turning the area, where the covers usually are placed, into complete black and sometimes complete white? When iTunes skips to the next track, it shows the covers again - for a short time - and then usually turns into black again. It also show me the cover flow, if I just go into iTunes again (you know, if I've been surfing on the internet, and then later go into iTunes again)
I have a rather huge library (~115 gb), but I have never had any issues like this before. iTunes is updated and so is my graphic driver. I'm using Vista 32bit.
Best regards
Jon

Well I updated to 8.2 and the same issue remained so went ahead and removed ALL Apple related components, Bonjour, Quicktime, iTunes etc. and redownloaded package and reinstalled... Everything works fine EXCEPT I still have the same issue with coverflow going black after a while (basically showing the black background only). Clicking into the area brings back the coverflow... it's like it's going into the background... Quite odd. Not really a big deal but none the less annoying!
This is the only app experiencing anything similar. Tested with 4 different NVidia video driver versions from 179.x onward and it is consistent so I doubt OpenGL as it was working fine before. I'm stumped! My guess is Apple coders need to force the Cover flow to stay in the foreground and or return to it. Oddly, this issue is easy for me to reproduce, When Windows shutsdown the screen and it comes back after a record switch almost always the coverflow will be gone.

TS3899 I HAVE IPAD AIR HAVING PROBLEMS WITH EMAIL DELETING AFTER A SHORT TIME WITHOUT COMMAND CAN YOU HELP

Q. I have an IPAD air having problems with my email deleting after a short while without command.

I've had issues like this before.
I ended up having to call my provide to reset the connection, which worked for a while, then quit. i then took it into my provider for a new sim card and had the connection re-established again. I haven't had issues since.
hopefully for you resetting the connection with your provider will do the trick and a new SIM card wont be nessesary.

How to sync iPhone 4 & 4S after new Mac hard drive installed?

The hard drive on our Mac crashed recently. After we had it replaced, we can't load new music from iTunes to either my iPhone 4 or to my wife's iPhone 4S. What do I need to do to get this to work?
Also, we had issues before syncing 2 iPhones to 1 computer - combined contacts, resulting in duplications and my apps showing up on her phone. Any suggestions to avoid this from happening again?

No computer backup which should include your iTunes library, photos, documents, and any other important data?
When you say you can't load new music on either iPhone, this should mean you are getting a warning message that all iTunes content on the iPhones will be erased first?
Each iOS device synced with iTunes has its own sync preferences with iTunes. If you were syncing contacts with the same Address Book with each iPhone, contacts will be synced between both iPhones and the Address Book.
If the same apps are selected under the Apps tab for the iPhone sync preferences with each iPhone, the same apps will be transferred to each iPhone. Each device has its own sync preferences with iTunes.
If you are sharing the same iCloud account on each iPhone with contacts turned on for over the air syncing with the iCloud account settings on each iPhone, contacts will be synced between the two iPhones.
If you are sharing the same iTunes account or Apple ID on each iPhone, there are settings at Settings > iTunes & App Store under Automatic Downloads to automatically download music, apps, books, and app updates downloaded with another OS device sharing the same Apple ID for iTunes and App Store purchases/downloads.
