New rig problem: SB Audigy successfully installs but there's no sound

Hello all
Recently I tried putting a simple little rig together but am running into an issue getting my immortal SoundBlaster Audigy gamer PCI card working with this new system.
I can confirm the card works, however when used in this new build, windows detects the card successfully & I install the newest drivers. Windows says the device is working, but there's no sound regardless of analog/digital bring selected or what output devices like headphones/speakers are used.. & no, the volume isn't muted
I also set the Audigy as the default device & selected 5.1 surround sound speakers in windows settings & I disabled the onboard sound in the bios, however the drivers are still installed, don't think that makes a difference though?
I feel like I tried everything, not sure why there's no sound. Like I said I can confirm the card works as does the PCI slot (just tested it with a LAN card). The board i'm working with here only has 1 standard PCI slot, so I can't try the card in another slot. But I tested it in another one of my systems just now running XP SP3 and it works flawlessly.
Did a fresh install of Windows XP/Vista/7 & tried getting the card working but the results were all the same. Successfully detected & installed, but no sound.
I'm currently trying to get it working on Windows XP SP3. My board is a gigabyte a55m-ds2, running AMD A4 3300 2.5GHZ APU, 4 GB ram.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I've had this card literally for about 10 years and it's never gave me any issues whatsoever, until now

QuickTime expects video files with separate video and audio tracks, but many MPEG formats used a muxed (multiplexed) single track that contains both. Therefore, iTunes & the iPod (both of which use QuickTime) only show the video and no sound.
iPod plays video but not audio of some exported files

One way to work around this is to use MPEG Streamclip to convert the files to fix this issue...

Installed update for Quicktime for Leopard. It indicates successful installation but actually hasnt installed. Did it a few times and also deleted my existing version and all QT preferences. Still doesnt work. any ideas?

I have downloaded Quicktime for leopard fo rmy iMac (2 years old). It indicated successful installation. Then I purchased Quicktime Pro. It didnt work. So tried a download again. The same thing happened. So I deleted absolutely everything including my old version of QT and also any preference files I found. I tried again but the same thing happened. It indicates successful installation but a search doesn't reveal anything anywhere. I have had no previous trouble downloading any new programmes . They always install with no problem straight into applications. there is lots of available memory. Now I have no Quicktime whatsoever.
Any ideas anyone? Have tried speaking to the apple call centre in India. He couldnt understand me and vie versa. No use at all and it cost me a fortune for the phone call. On the phone for an hour while this chap kept going to his supervisor. Why do companies continue to use call centres overseas?

I have used Firefox since Firefox 0.7 or 0.9 but may have been 0.5. Seems like it was called something else but my memory is not that great.
Before that I used Seamonkey and other variations of Mozilla. Before that I used Netscape. I even have/had a CD that I sent off for with the different releases going all the way back to the beginning (I think).
I was a Mozilla crusader. When I saw someone using IE I would talk to them like they must be dumb until they switched haha. I have converted everyone who is close to me to firefox except my wife and I think she uses IE to irritate me.
I work on the Internet. I spend no less than 12 hours and up to 18 hours a day with my fingers touching a keyboard that is connected to a computer or phone that is interacting with the Internet. I have Firefox on my Android phone, two laptops and my desktop. All of them crash constantly.
When it crashes I lose work and time. Not to mention getting big headaches.
I am very appreciative for the browser and yes I have made money donations. Not saying that makes me good. I look at it more like I am paying for great software.
I never thought the day would come that I would say no more to Firefox. The day has come.
When Firefox first came out it was small, good and fast. As time has went on it has become big, bad and slow. I feel like I am turning my back on a good friend but i can't take the crashing any longer.
I am using Chrome now. Dang I hate to use anything google. Since I can't make my own browser I have to use what's out there and Chrome is fast. Sort of like Firefox used to be... except of course Chrome has all those phone home goodies.
I won't be trying to convert anyone to Chrome but neither will I try to convert them to Firefox.
I am not trying to start a flame war or anything here. As nuts as it sounds I felt like I should tell Firefox bye.
Bye bye Firefox. it was good knowing you

The Pandora APP is installed on my iPhone5 & works fine except when I am in my new car that also has a Pandora APP. The car doesn't seem to recognize the phone so doesn't connect. My iPhone will act like it is playing Pandora as usual but there is no sound at all when I am in the car. What do I need to do?

Hello Mogulman46,
So what that means is when you have Do Not Disturb turned on, you may have an alert depending on the setting and how you are using your iPhone. So if it is set to Always, then that means that no matter what, your iPhone will not be notified. If it set to Only while the iPhone is locked, then that means that you will not get notification when your iPhone is locked but you will get notifications if your iPhone is being used. Also keep in mind the settings All Calls From can be set to certain contacts like Favorites, Everyone or no one. If you are using Do Not Disturb and you do not need it, then turn it off.
Use Do Not Disturb on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

Ipod nano 7g plays on the dock adapter but there is no sound

Hi, posting on behalf of a parent. Recently bought the ipod nano 7g and bought the lightning 30 pin adaper. When plugged into the stereo the ipod plays as the song timer advances but there is no sound coming through. Any suggestions what to try. I did advise buying a new adapter in case it is faulty.

Check with the manufacturer of the stereo to see if their device is compatible with the adaptor.

Music says it's playing but there's no sound

I got a new computer and moved all of the music from my old computer. Now when I try to play a song the equalizer moves like the song is playing but there is no sound. I've checked the obvious things like volume and mute. Any ideas?
I transferred the music using my external HD. I installed Itunes to the new computer yesterday.

Hm, maybe this will be of some help:

TS4080 apple thunderbolt display image on display intermittently goes dark, does not wake from sleep after clicking mouse or keyboard, but there is "bonk" sound after clicking mouse or pressing keys. Rebooting by pressing the power button resolves issue.

My apple thunderbolt display (which I purchased 1.5 years ago; OS 10.7.5 Mac Mini) intermittently goes dark, does not wake from sleep after clicking mouse or keyboard, but there is "bonk" sound after clicking mouse or pressing keys, so am thinking it is a hardware problem with the display. Rebooting by pressing the power button turns the screen back on, but the same phenomenon has occurred several times. Could this be a software issue, or do I need to have my display repaired? Your feedback would be appreciated.

Hi ED, tough to tell, but it does sound like it's waking with the bonk, just not displaying.
Long shot but...
I wonder if it's a variation of this, of which I've seen many different symptoms...
Resolution
Move the mouse or trackpad cursor over the center area of the login window so you can see the user icons. Click on the icon of the user that you would like to login as, type in the user's password, and press Return.
If the login window is configured to show only the name and password fields, type in the user's name and password into the fields, and press Return (even if you cannot see the rest of the login window).
Additional Information
This issue will not occur if the display is not sleeping when the account is logged out. Use the steps below to confirm that the account is not configured to log out automatically while the display is sleeping:
1. Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General. Click the padlock to unlock the preference pane and enter your admin password. Click the Advanced button at the bottom, then see if the option "Log out after N minutes of inactivity" (where N is the number of minutes) is enabled.
2. Open System Preferences > Energy Saver and configure Display Sleep to occur after the account is logged out, by dragging the slider to a number of minutes that is greater than N was set to in the previous step.
Important: If automatic log out is not needed, disable "Log out after Nminutes of inactivity" in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General. This will also prevent the issue.

Have them install Quicktime on their PC's from Apple's website, that's the easiest fix.

How can I play music on my macbook pro (OSX Lion) through a Pioneer receiver. I've connected them with a mini display port to HDMI cable with audio support bought at the Apple Store, but there's no sound coming through. thanks

How can I play music on my macbook pro (OSX Lion) through a Pioneer receiver? I've connected them with a mini display port to HDMI cable with audio support bought at the Apple Store, but there's no sound coming through. There are 4 HDMI-in ports on the receiver - BD, DVD, DVR/BDR and audio. In my system preferences for sound, the receiver doesn't show up as an output option. Can anyone please advise. (ps, this is my first time posting a question, so I hope I can find your answers!) thanks, JP downunder

For sound, try the audio output port and connecting to the RCA audio input ports on your Pioneer receiver. Use something like this:

Video converted but there is no sound

my original videos in itunes do have sound but they are not suitable to put in the ipod and have to be converted first. i have converted the videos to make them suitable to put in the ipod but there is no sound at all. can anyone help me?

I think this has something to do with how you're converting the videos.
I usually use iSquint (FREEWARE)(Mac application) it supports a wide variaty of video files (including WMV) to mpg and has options to optimize for ipod and TV as well as setting for the audio. Runs fast on my macbook, about 700MB movie (90ish min movie) takes about 20 min or less to convert and cuts the size about in half. hope that helps you out.
If you're on windows, try checking out PSP Ware. it's a sync utility for PSP but it has video conversion in it and is the only program that i can think of for windows. it's shareware, but for your purposes the demo will work fine and will never run out since your just using the converter and not syncing a PSP. just sync the vids in it and find the mpg file that it creates and sync that to your ipod

Try resetting your iPad. Press and hold both the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Try your book.
