No 5.1 sound while watching movies in Vista with X-Fi XtremeGam

Hi all, I have just bought a new PC running Windows Vista, with the PC was a set of Creative T600 speakers and a Creative X-Fi XtremeGamer card.
I am aware of the problems associated with X-fi cards and games (I have Alchemy installed and all works fine), but when I watch any movies on the PC I lose sound from the rear speakers. I have tried setting the card to Entertainment Mode and setting up 5. speakers but even here when I run the test I get no sound from the rear speakers.
So my question would be is there drivers to solve this problem, but still retain EAX gaming sounds etc. or am I reduced to watching 5. movies with only the front speakers working?

actually this issue has been discussed on the forum already
the "gamer" version does not include the hardware decoder, you have to use powerdvd to do that

    You can click the Volume icon on the Windows Taskbar near the clock and click the Mixer link at the bottom to open the mixer.<br />
    You can adjust the volume level for each application in that window, so make sure that Firefox is not muted or set at a low level.<br />
    Current Firefox versions use the plugin-container process to run plugins, so you need to check the volume setting for the plugin-container process.<br />
    You will only see the Firefox program or the Plugin Container in the Mixer if you are on a website that plays sound.<br />

  • No sound while watching you tube videos on my ipad. This is my second replacement ipad with same problem.

    no sound while watching you tube videos on my ipad. This is my second replacement ipad with same problem. No sounds coming out from the speakers, even after reset everything. Mute button is assigned for mute function instead of screen rotation lock.

    Hi herbie13!
    It sounds like you will still want to link your iPad and computer, but you want to prevent the iPad from syncing information from your computer to your iPad. I have an article here for you that can help tell you how to set this up:
    iOS: Syncing with iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386
    You will want to follow the steps here to set up the iPad for syncing, but when it comes time to sync, you'll just want to make sure that the boxes for syncing the multitude of items that you can sync remain unchecked so that none of that information gets synced into the iPad.
    Another note: your second Apple ID will not be able to access the apps, music, movies, tv shows, etc., that you have purchased under your primary Apple ID. Even though it seems that the secondary Apple ID still has access to those items, that is just because you are viewing your second Apple ID through the iTunes Store section on your computer and you have those items saved locally on your computer. You will need to repurchase and download all of the content that you wish to use again on your second Apple ID, if that is what you wish to solely use on this iPad.
    Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

  • HT4085 how to lock the tauch screen with some password or dots like android to prevent misuse. And also screen lock to prevent interruption while watching movie reading books etc.

    how to lock the tauch screen with some password or dots like android to prevent misuse. And also screen lock to prevent interruption while watching movie reading books etc.

    You can set a passcode to be requied to unlock the iPad via Settings > General > Passcode Lock. In terms of locking the actual screen whilst using an app, then that isn't currently possible, but with iOS 6 in the Autumn there will be a new 'accessibility' feature (from here) which will allow you :
    ... to limit an iOS device to one app by disabling the Home button, as well as restrict touch input on certain areas of the screen

    Select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History on your computer.
    Currently, if your purchase happens to be your most recent purchase you will not be redirected to the report form, in this case use the report a problem option from the invoice that was emailed to you.

    Did you use iTunes to convert the videos? If so you shouldn't it doesn't do it right. You should use another program. Use MPEG streamclip it converts it pretty well with sound. http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-win.html

  • Anybody know how to fix the audio while watching movies on first generation apple tv?

    Anybody know how to fix the audio while watching movies on first generation apple tv? On my apple tv, I can hear audio for music, music videos, youtube, internet radio and even movie previews! But..... when I pay for the rental download of a movie there is no audio - just visuals. I am connecting with hdmi. When I connect an apple tv 2nd generation to the same amp and tv, using same hdmi and even same power lead and same settings then there is no problem! Anybody know how I can get audio to work for movies for this?

    that makes sense and good point but no don't think so. Where would I check that setting? I had same problem on my next gerneration apple tv (black model) but when I switched off the dolby then I could hear movie. In this case that does not work for the first generation (white) apple TV I have whether dolby is on or off. I have never been able to watch a movie using it.

    If not, I have used Macro Express to format tables in Rh. No reason it could not be used in Word.

  • How long is the iPad battery last while watching video on YouTube with 3G?

    How long is the iPad2 battery last while watching video on YouTube with 3G?

    My iPad 2 battery can use only ~7 hours 15mins when surfing the web using cellular data network. Is it normal?
    I would say that's normal. Cellular uses more power than wifi. Your screen brightness is also a factor. Lower the screen brightness & battery will last longer.
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night. Also look at The iPad's charging challenge explained http://www.macworld.com/article/1150356/ipadcharging.html
    Also, if you have a 3rd generation iPad, look at Apple: iPad Battery Nothing to Get Charged Up About

  • Bad sound when watching movies etc..

    Hi,
    I bought an Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter Cable @ ebay a while back, and recently Ive started using it with my macbook air (running OS X Mountain Lion)
    I have this hooked up to my receiver and the image quality is superb, but the sound is not that great..
    I often use to watch movies (.mkv files) and all movies have very poor sound quality. Even when its DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1..
    Have someone experienced something like this?

    Anyone ???? I doubt I am the only one who have had this problem..

  • Screen dim while watching movie

    I haven't found a definitive reason for this really irritating behaviour.
    When watching a movie on my G4 Powerbook the Apple keeps dimming the screen. Incredibly annoying to have to tap the trackpad every couple of minutes.
    From what I have read - and it's not much - I finally figured out that to stop this I need to go to the Energy Saver settings and uncheck "Automatically reduce the brightness of the display before display sleep."
    Wow. That was obvious....
    My question though is much simpler.
    Who on earth would design a system that dims the screen while a movie is playing? I can't conceive of any situation during which I would launch a movie and prefer to have it dim.
    Shouldn't the screen default to not dimming when a movie is being played?

    Hi Barry,
    Of course, and this is a case of sending Feedback...
    My workaround: Active Screen Corners (in System Preferences > Exposé). I have one assigned to Disable Screen Saver, and I leave the mouse pointer on it when watching a movie.
