New sound cards do not support Vis

Hey guys I've been hearing alot lately that Creative sound cards do not support Vista so I decided to register and ask a few questions about Creative sound cards and what would be compatible for me. I don't know if this is true but please someone clarify this with me. I just bought a PC but it does not have all the holes for my 5. speakers (only green hole) and I'm currently looking for a card that has the pink, green, grey speaker plug holes etc. If they do work, how much momey should I be spending on them? I need a card for movies and games. Will the X-fi work for me? It looks like it has all the coloured holes for my speakers. Which card do you guys recommend? Thanks.
PC specs
Vista Business Edition
Core 2 duo .8ghz
2gig ram?

Basically Dragonrice the X-Fi works fine in Vista (I have one here on Vista x64), sadly some of the features such as DTS Decoding, DVD-Audio Decoding are XP Only.
I beli've this maybe something to do with Windows Vista and it's DRM, or that Creative have not yet implimented support, or have decided against implimenting support since PowerDVD and the like do partial software decoding of those audio sources.
X-Fi is ok on Vista, but is a more fully featured card on XP.
If you are considering getting an X-Fi I would lean towards the Auzentech Prelude X-Fi based card, as it is more feature rich than the Creative Labs card (Supports Dolby Digital Li've Encoding), and can also decode DTS and DVD-Audio on Vista (x86 only)

  • Satellite Pro L10: sound card does not support Windows 7

    Hi
    i have a Satellite Pro L10 so i installed a Windows 7 on my system but my laptop can not support Windows 7.
    I need update of sound card for Windows 7.
    The model of sound car is Conexant CX20468-31 AC97 Audio Sound Card.
    Please help me

    Hi buddy
    What to say first of all you will not get official drivers for this notebook for Win 7 or Vista.
    This notebook is oldie and I doubt the drivers will be released.
    Reading through this forum threads Ive noticed that most of the user use the Vista driver on Win 7 OS.
    Maybe you should google for the Conexant AC97 Vista driver and should try a Vista driver on Win 7
    Good luck

  • The Currently Installed Sound Card Does Not Support Direct Sound Input

    I'm working Pro 1.5 in Win 7 with CPU: i7, 12 gb ram.
    The computer is a Costco ZT System
    http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11500733&whse=BC&Ne=5000001+4000000&eCat= BC|84|56671&N=4017755%204294908621&Mo=8&No=1&Nr=P_CatalogName:BC&Ns=P_Price|1||P_SignDesc1 &lang=en-US&Sp=C&topnav=
    No "extra" sound card installed as described by ZT System the audio:
    Flexible 8-channel capable audio with jack sensing
    The speakers are working, as in Dictionary.com and .mp3 play perfectly, but there is not sound coming from the rendered program, nor from any audio files. The audio monitor is showing sound, but that's it.
    I'm pretty sure all the *.csv, *.cfa or whatever the audio files associated with PP (project) have been deleted, but, I don't see the program doing the "audio" compilation thing.
    Can someone help please? Sure hope it's not a 1,5/Win thing.
    Regards, Jon

    Jon,
    First thing that I would do would be to install the latest Realtek drivers. You will need to go to the Realtek site to get these.
    Next, in PrPro, there is an Edit>Preferences>Audio Hardware setting page, with the additional ASIO Settings (at least in PrPro 2.0 and above). There you can set how PrPro handles audio. If you still have issues, I strongly recommend ASIO4ALL. It is freeware, and easy to install. Once installed, one goes to the settings pages above and choose ASIO4ALL for everything. This little driver has worked so well for people with lower-end sound hardware, up to true esoteric hardware, at the very upper-end of the spectrum. I cannot count the number of music editing professionals, who have been helped by this little free driver. I use it on my Creative Live DD 5.1 SS card, and it works perfectly.
    Good luck,

  • INstalling new sound card on HP Pavilion a1029_uk

    Hi
    Due to the issues raised in my other thread
    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-PC-Sound-and-Audio/Suddenly-no-sound/td-p/607655
    I've gone and bought separate sound card (not from HP admittedly) but can't get it to install as the install software keeps crashing.
    Could it be that I've not totally got rid of the on board motherboard sound chips (that no longer work) are somehow interfering in the process.
    I've tried to do the install both with the and without disabling the on board audio in the BIOS settings (turning this off does seem to remove everything including Sound Manager, volume control etc) but it makes no difference.
    Do I need to leave this one but remove sound manager and the device drivers manually and if so, how do I do this as Sound Manager isn't included in the "Add / Remove Software" list.
    So the question is: Is it possible to totally remove all systems access to the on board sound set, so I can use a PCI sound card instead.
    Technical stuff.
    HP Pavilion Model: a1029.uk...
    Windows XP (SP3)
    (not working) on board sound : Integrated High Definition audio Realtek ALC 880 chipset 8-channels for Full Dolby 5.1/6.1/7.1 surround sound support with Dolby Pro Logic IIx
    Trying to install Sweex SC002 5.1 PCI Sound Card
    http://www.sweex.com/en/assortiment/sound-vision/sound-cards/SC002/

    Just to let everyone know I've solved this one.
    It seems part of the new sound cards that hooks around the back of the PC to hold it in place is slightly too short, and/or the wrong shape, so when you put on the plate on my HP Pavillion that holds all the PCI cards in place, this pulls the soundcard slightly out of it's slot, up at the opposite end with the smaller pins so although the computer can detect there's a PCI card there, it can't tell what it is.
    If I leave this plate off, and allow the hook around part to hang free, the card works.

  • It says my sim card is not supported but I don't think my Iphone4 is locked

    It says my sim card is not supported when I put my tpg microsim in my iphone4, but I'm assured my iphone was not locked by the person I bought it from, who said they bought it from apple, and apple doesn't lock thier iphones

    Casper,
    Sounds like you got tricked by the person who assured you iPhone was bought from Apple.
    Anyway, Hutchison Telecom owns the mobile carrier 3 and not Vodafone. If hutchison told you that only Apple can unlock your phone well that is incorrect, because my sister is with 3 and she had her iPhone unlocked by providing them the IMEI number, after a week or so she got an sms from them saying unlock is sucessful all she had to do was remove the 3 simcard and insert a different simcard and connect to itunes sync. If unlock is successful you should notice your new mobile carrier in iTunes summary, eject iphone power off and restart your iPhone.
    I'm with O2 had mine unlocked just by filling in the unlock form provided by O2's website,  3 days later received text message that I can connect to iTunes and unlock, simple as that. Although I still have 14 months remaining  on contract O2 provides this iPhone unlock service for free, but only Pay as Go customers need to pay £15.
    Vodafone and 3 are quite doggy to customers and customer services is quite bad, every one has a different answer to unlocking iPhone either they say only Apple can unlock or you have to pay to get it unlocked. In your case try and find out which mobile carrier you are locked to, it can't be both Vodafone and 3. If it's Vodafone then you need to fill out a form on their site, takes about two weeks to get a reply and costs $25 / £15, (friend unlocked on Vodafone Pay as go).
    I hope the information provided is helpful to you, do it the legitimate way and not jailbreak it.

  • The App store stopped accepting my credit card all of a sudden. It says that my credit card is "not supported by the Chilean app store"... The credit card is Chilean and was working just fine. Help!

    This is the second time this happens. I was living in the US until April 2011. I moved to Chile and kept using the App Store and the iTunes Store just fine with my US-issued credit card. However, when I accessed my Apple ID from a different device, the store stopped recognizing my credit card information and migrated my ID to the "Chilean" App & Itunes Store (significantly less apps & music... but anyway). I started using my Chilean credit card on the App and iTunes store with no issues. I supposed that the devices catched that I was no longer in the US and that I had to be transferred to the related store (which I think is fine), and that because I was now in the Chilean store I needed to use a Chilean-issued credit card (which doesn't make sense to me, I still don't understand why Apple stopped accepting my US credit card if it is accepted everywhere else in the world online and offline!).
    However, yesterday I bought something from my iPad and when today I went to use the app store from my iPhone the SAME THING happened. I got the same request to "update my billing information", I confirmed my Chilean credit card info and, surprise! "Your credit card is not supported by the Chilean app store"...
    I don't get it. If I didn't get it the first time, I ended up accepting it an getting over it because ok, I moved to another country and my account was migrated, etc. But now, it doesn't recognize my local credit card in my local store! I tried both my local Visa and my local MasterCard, and none of them worked. It looks like my account will not accept ANY credit card, no matter wheter I try to update the info from my mobile devices, on iTunes, on the Mac App Store, etc.
    It has been impossible for me to find any information on what causes this and on how to solve it, and so far I hadn't had any trouble with Apple and hadn't need any support before, but now that I need URGENT SUPPORT, I've come to realize that THEY SUCK at being accessible! There's no way I can contact them! So, please help me!!!!! I need urgent help!!!!
    Thanks and sorry for the very long post.

    Same thing happened to me with my peruvian credit card in the peruvian app store, I want to buy an app, but it says that my credit card is "not supported in the Peruvian app store"

  • Installed graphics card does not support the opengl features recommended

    I've installed FCP6 on my PowerMac (PPC G4 DP 1.25GHz), and when I run it, I get a warning ("...installed graphics card does not support the opengl features recommended...") and the program ends. The graphics card is the ATI Radeon 9000 Pro (64MB)
    I'm looking for a definitive answer regarding my hardware compatibility with FCS2 (specifically, FCP6). I'm NOT looking for an answer along the lines of: your system is too old to run this.
    I've checked the minimum system requirements from the apple website (http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/specs/
    and http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/download/):
    * A Macintosh computer with a 1.25GHz or faster PowerPC G4, PowerPC G5, Intel Core Duo, or Intel Xeon processor
    * 1GB of RAM
    * An AGP or PCI Express Quartz Extreme graphics card (Final Cut Studio is not compatible with integrated Intel graphics processors)
    * A display with 1024-by-768 resolution or higher
    * Mac OS X v10.4.11 or later
    * QuickTime 7.3 or later
    * DVD drive for installation
    I have all that stuff. What I'd like is to know which component of my system is FCP6 complaining about (vis-a-vis the error message above), alternatively, if someone has had success with a similar configuration, I'd like to know anything they think might help.
    Thanks in advance for any helpful advice you may have.

    The minimum would probably be an nVidia Fx5200 or an ATI 9600...

  • Need a new sound card for (( PC Works LX520

    Hey mates ,
    I need a new powerful sound card for PC Works LX520 Speakers
    I need the best compatible sound card for this speakers .
    I'm using the speakers for Trance , hard rock , games
    Please pick me a special sound card , But not expensi've .
    regards ,
    I-IEMA

    Preferably you would use a n AGP based graphics card as your radeon 9600 is. The PCI-x slots have lower bandwidth and would be slower.
    Possible Upgrades
    Radeon 9800pro
    Radeon 9800XT
    Radeon X800XT
    Radeon X850XT
    nVidia 6800GS/GT
    nVidia 7800
    All of which are in demand and short supply at present due to the new RoHS recycling requirements.

  • I just updated my Iphone 3GS from 4.3.3 to 6.1. Now is says that my SIM Card is not supported by my carrier. I called Rogers and he says to restore my phone. But I can't get there is it won't recognize my phone. Help!

    Insert a SIM from a supported carrier.
    Where did the phone come from,  it sounds like the device has been hacked or jailbroken to be unlocked and updating has re locked to the original carrier. It is also possible that the SIM simply needs to be reseated or replaced.

  • Both Sound Blaster Live 5.1 and Integrated Sound Card Does Not W

    Hi! I <B>just</B> installed a new mother board and cpu. Its an ECS 755-A2 mother board with a 3200+ AMD Sempron/64-bit CPU. It's not the best, but i was trying to save money.Before, I had a soyo and a 2800+ AMD Athlon XP and i had the Sound Blaster Li've 5.. Now with this ECS mb, the sound card doesn't get detected anymore, even in device manager. I downloaded the new driver for the Sound Blaster Li've 5. from their official website and when I came to install it... it said that there were no Sound Blaster cards detected on my computer even though it was securely pushed in IN a pci slot!!Then I decided that I don't need sound blaster so i installed the driver for the integrated sound card on my mb (realtek AC-97) and everything LOOKS fine according to their program and the control panel (sound and audio options) but i dont receive any sound from anything at all. I was planning on buying a NEW sound card but then i decided to test this Sound Blaster Li've 5. on my bro's computer. Ironically, it was detected on his .2 ghz AMD Athlon Thunderbird and now i'm puzzled as why it wasn't detected on mine.<B>What solutions have I tried?</B>I installed numerous drivers for both the sound blaster and the integrated sound card repeatedly and there wasn't any hope. I re-installed the OS twice (I'm willing to do a third though)I don't know what else I can try.. can anyone help and please don't say the mother board :[?<B>Specs:</B>3200+ AMD Sempron/64-Bit CPU (2.2 ghz)ECS Elite Group 755-A2 Motherboard52 DDR RamGeforce 4 Ti4200 Video Card

    If you had change the motherboard then I suggest you format your harddisk and start from a fresh install of the OS and not just reinstall the OS.

  • PE4 freezes - "Your card may not support full duplex"

    Brand new Dell Studio 17 laptop
    Vista Home Premium 32 bit
    I open PE4, start a new project, bring in a couple of MP4 files. Then when I try to play it gives me an error message: "Playback failed. The audion system does not seem to respond. Maybe the card does not support full duplex."
    PE4 then freezes, and I have to ctrl-alt-delete to close.
    Audio works fine everywhere else, until I try to run PE4. Then the card is dead and nothing works.
    Any suggestions?
    James

    James,
    "Tried it with PE3 as well, same thing." Are you saying that you installed PE3 on the Studio 17 and got the same error message when you tried to play MP4 or JPEGS on the Timeline? If so, did you install the Premiere Elements 3.0.2 update for Premiere Elements 3 before you got started? I do not believe that Premiere Elements 3 by itself was ever Vista compatible.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3565
    I would like to see the specific online links that Dell T/S cited to Kevin for claiming an Adobe/Vista (non Dell) issue. Would it be a good idea for you and Kevin to compare features (especially video and audio cards as well as drivers) of your Studio 17?
    The result of Kevin's contact with Adobe re: this matter, should be interesting, and I am looking forward to their spin. As far as I know there are users out there using Premiere Elements 4 with a Vista Home Premium operating system. Hopefully other forum users here will address that point and correct me if I have misspoke about that.

  • NEW SOUND CARD NEEDED FOR HOME PC, HOW TO CHOOSE AND INST

    I am running Windows XP on Home PC bought 2003. The sound card is integral with the motherboard. Now the soundcard is not working. I have done tests, including headphones to output jack in the PC, no sound. No mute buttons are ticked. The speakers seem fine. So question is: can I buy a Creative sound card, and put it in the PC myself? I have Video Logic ZXR-500 5. Channel Speaker System. Motherboard info: Gigabyte 7VAX, KT400, DDR, 8X AGP, USB 2, LAN, 6Ch AC97. Sound Card info: Onboard 6 Channel AC97 Audio. The company who built the PC have closed down. I would like to use my PC to play CD and listen to Radio, Video cli
    ps.
    I do not use it for gaming. Please let me have your advice. I could pay somebody to fix the new sound card, which I should like to buy from Creative, but also not sure which sound card to buy, or if this is possible, since the existing soundcard cannot be removed. Maybe I could try an external sound card via USB? Many thanks. Halton

    Hi Halton,
    For listening to music and internet radio any of our cards should be fine, the budget cards are for instance
    Sound Blaster Li've! 24-bit
    Audigy SE
    Audigy 2 Value
    Regarding disabling the onboard audio, I can't give you a set of specific instructions, as this can differ per motherboard. Usually you can get into the BIOS by holding the Delete key (when specified) during the boot process. The BIOS screen is usually a blue background with white text. Onboard audio could be listed as "AC97" (which you set to enable or disable). If your PC or motherboard came with a manual, it may have some detail on how to change this.

    Typically this indicates a device that has been hacked to be unlocked or jailbroken.
    If that is the case, no support can be provided here.

  • I put a Tesco sim (02 carrier) in 2 unlocked phones, Both phones are now locked to 02, 02 blame apple, I connect the iphone to itunes and it states that the new carrier (orange) is not supported

    I put a Tesco sim (02 carrier) in 2 unlocked phones, Both phones are now locked to 02, 02 blame apple, I connect the iphone to itunes and it states that the new carrier (orange) is not supported, Isk this of both 02 and apple, who's phone is this and what right do you have to lock a previously unlocked phone?  very angry

    Where did you get these phones?
    These and other forums are full of people with iPhone unlocking problems - the net result is that, as others have said, is:
    If you bought them from Apple they will be (and stay) unlocked.
    If you bought them PAYG from CPW then they will lock to the first SIM activated.
    Any other contract or PAYG phone iPhone bought from the networks WILL be locked by them too.
    However, all is not lost. The original purchaser can request for the phones to be unlocked by Apple, via the carrier. The carriers usually charge around £20 to do this, or gratis if you're out of contract.
    You are the original purchaser, right? If not, you need to get in touch with that person and pray they'll help you out.
