No Audio after switching from Headset/Speakers

Product : Sound Blaster Z
OS : Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Issue : No audio when switching from headset to speaker or speaker to headset
Description : I used to have it working perfectly fine before I formatted my computer. I could be playing a game or watching a movie using my speakers, then I would use the switch in the SB Control Panel to make it play through my headphones and everything would work. Now if I do that, I loose the audio from that program that is currently running. Meaning I have to restart the program and the audio will come through the specified audio device. Sounds like the windows setting "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" is acting up, but I have tried this with both the setting on and off.
Any help is appreciated.

AFAIK some applications loose audio on switch, while others don't.
are you saying the same app once didn't loose audio on switch, now does after a format ?
in other words, do you believe that before the format nothing ever lost audio on switch ? that would mean there's a way to solve it, as most of us, if not all, are having that same issue (which is Creative's fault, not Microsoft's).

My sound switches from internal speakers to apple Tv and i dont have an apple tv device

I am having problems with sound. My speakers will switch from internal speakers to Apple TV for no reason when I am on a certain wifi network and ask for a password. I do not have an apple TV and in order for the sound to come out on the internal speakers i have to manually go into the preferences and switch back to internal speakers. This does this constantly while i am listening to music. Is there a way to shut off the feature so it will stay on internal speakers? This has happened ever since i made the upgrade to OS mountain lion. I never did this before. Thank you for your help.

Are you sure that WIFI network doesn't have an AppleTV on it? Just because you don't own it doesn't mean there isn't one on that network. The laptop or better said the OS cannot differentiate between an AppleTV that you own or not. If it sees one on the network, it will show you one as being available. The automatic reconnection is happening probably because the last time you streamed to an AppleTV, you didn't drop that connection before sleeping the computer or shutting down iTunes.

HELP! How do I get rid of the volume noise that plays when I switch from internal speakers to external speakers?

How do I get rid of the volume noise that plays when I switch from internal speakers to external speakers? I'm trying to watch something on my TV through an HDMi cable (& apple adapter) and when I go to switch the sound control in preferences from internal speakers to SONY TV, the annoying "popping" noise occurs on my TV's speakers.

Go to Edit > Preferences > General > Import Settings and check the box for error correction, and then try one of the problem CDs again.

Blurry font after switching from WinXP to Win 7 (Was:Schrift im Dreamweaver CS 3 verschwommen)

<Preran> For the benefit of moderators here, I used Google to translate your content into English:
Good day,
I have problems with blurry font in Dreamweaver CS3 after switching from Windows XP to Windows 7
I have already tried the following:
In "Edit" Preferences "change font size" - unfortunately that does not work. (which had worked fine in the previous changeover to Windows XP)
Then I got in the forum www. office-loesungen.de the tip, sometimes seen on the control panel display, which percentage is set.
When I got the set to the mean value, the writing was not so blurry, but still not really readable.
Experiments with Clear adjust TypeText were not successful.
There is a trick, so the font is larger
If I have to "small" hinders the size that was at 0.75 in the previous pages, it is readable for me, so I could enter the text and read it.
However, the text is then when uploading larger.
What can I do now?
For speedy help I would be grateful
Best regards
Guten Tag,
ich habe Probleme mit verschwommener Schrift im Dreamweaver CS3 nach der Umstellung von Windows XP auf Windows 7.
Ich habe folgendes schon probiert:
Bei „Bearbeiten“ und Voreinstellungen „Schriftgröße ändern“- das funktioniert leider nicht. (das hatte bei der letzten Umstellung auf Windows XP wunderbar geklappt)
Dann bekam ich im Forum www. office-loesungen.de den Tipp, mal über die Systemsteuerung-Anzeige zu sehen, welcher Prozentwert eingestellt ist.
Als ich den auf den mittleren Wert eingestellt habe, war die Schrift schon nicht mehr ganz so verschwommen, aber immer noch nicht richtig lesbar.
Auch Versuche mit Clear Type Text anpassen waren nicht erfolgreich.
Einen Trick gibt es, wodurch die Schrift größer wird
Wenn ich die Größe, die bei den bisherigen Seiten bei 0,75 lag , auf „klein“ verstelle, ist es für mich lesbar, ich könnte den Text so eingeben und auch lesen.
Allerdings wird der Text dann beim Hochladen auch größer.
Was kann ich jetzt tun?
Für baldige Hilfe wäre ich dankbar
Mit freundlichem Gruss

I've done this multiple times and it produces essentially the same message, but there is a mention that a restart is pending. This is also strange because this is definitely not the case. First time I used CScleaner it took a while and was obviously busy correcting something. However now when I select clean all, it simply dumps anopther massive log file into AppData and says cleaning completed successfully. Now I just ran it again, so would you like me to post the more recent log file?

NI-4060 giving invalid 1st reading after switching from or to LOW Resistance Measurements

We've been using TestStand & LabView to test various Circuit board. On series of test involves checking for a short circuit (Measure Low Resistance 4-wire) then measuring for a 3.5Vrms signal on another part of the board.
For each measurement, the following NI-DMM VI's are used in order:
niDMMInit, niDMMAutoZero, niDMMConfigure, niDMMMeasure, niDMMClose.
If we do the Low Resistance 4WR measurement, then a AC V measurement, the 1st reading from the DMM is approx 10x too high, if a 2nd reading it done it is then OK.
It doesn't matter how long a delay is before we take the 1st measurement, it's always approx a factor of 1E+1 out.
If however we don't do a Low Restance prior to
the AC V measurement, then the measurement is always correct.
I expermented with turning AutoZero on & off, and various resolution settings, however none of these seem to have an effect on the result.
Can anyone explain these strange results?
Thanks

Thanks, after playing with a few more settings I found if I turned the Cacheing off niDMMInitWithOptions, with "Cache=0" that everything worked fine, but it would take a couple of seconds to get the first AC measurement after switching from resistance.

Hi,
That particualr error should be solved by adding the following parameter to your instance profile:
jstartup/vm/parameters = -XX:-ExtendedExceptionMessages
The issue is related to note 1693118
Kind regards,

Some issues after switching from 686 to x86_64

Hi all,
after switching from i686 to x86_64 using this link I am now facing some minor issues with some packages. I already activated the multilib repository but some problems remain. I checked the binaries in /usr/bin for 32 bit executables as described in the above link and there are 177 "bad" binaries left. I thought all of these were not executable, but surprisingly wine was. Strange!
ffmpeg is another 32 bit executable and not runnable. So I tried to reinstall it, but that failed:
> pacman -S ffmpeg
warning: ffmpeg-1:2.6.1-1 is up to date -- reinstalling
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: ffmpeg-compat: requires libx264.so=144-32
libx264 is installed and didn't want to be reinstalled either:
> pacman -S libx264
warning: libx264-2:144.20150223-1 is up to date -- reinstalling
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: ffmpeg: requires libx264.so=144-32
:: ffmpeg-compat: requires libx264.so=144-32
Can someone give me a hint, what's the best way to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance, Zmann

I think the first issue you will run in to is that the interface for an old P4 hdd will probably not be the same as a new computer. Besides that, it will probably be vastly slower than what comes with a new computer. I think that is not the best idea.
The only wat to really "trasition" between two archtectures that I know of is to copy configuration files over and have pacman dump a list of explicitly installed packages from the main repos. Then use that information to reinstall all those packages.

Sound Preferences: switches from Internal Speakers to Digital Out

I've been having this problem recently. I sent the computer off to Apple a few weeks ago and it helped for a while, but no longer.
My computer has a problem with it's sound output jack or something. Without inserting anything into the plug, the Sound will change for "Internal Speakers" to "Digital Out" and to "Built-in Output" in the Sound Preferences Panel.
Any suggestions?

I have a 4 month old macbook and experiencing the same problem. Just realized it after installing itunes 8 and since then having a stuttering audio playback problem too. When i plug my headphones into the audiojack the sound switches from headphones to speakers and back as well as itunes playing tracks in a stop and go mode. I repaired the rights several times, installed quicktime 7.5.5 again, reinstalled itunes 8 and for sure running the latest leopard version 10.5.5.
Also thought it could be a hardware problem but after reading this it seems more software related.
Any idea?

Since 5.1 update, my Apple TV has no audio after waking from sleep mode. I can get audio back if I manually put it to sleep through settings. Help please?

Hello,
Since the 5.1 update, my Apple TV 2 has no audio after it wakes from sleep mode. To get audio back I need to go to settings and manually put it to sleep then wake it up. Once I do this I have audio. I have restarted the Apple TV as well as me modem and router. I have searched the boards and cannot find a solution. Please help.

No audio after waking from sleep, need to plug in headphones

Hi,
This is a little different from the other posts that I've searched for, so I'll give it a go in a new thread.
After I wake up my MacBook from sleep, there is no sound from the internal speakers. The volume controls still behave the same (no crossed-out circles or whatnot), just no sound. The only way I've figured out to fix it is by plugging in something into the headphone jack (and there is audio through the headphones), and then unplugging it. After that, the internal speakers have sound again.
This repeats itself every time I put the computer to sleep and wake it back up again.
Any thoughts?
George

I'm trying to flip the switch or something not really sure how to do it?
You just have to poke around in there and try to get it to release. If you can't get it to go out, you will need to have it taken apart to repair.

Sound problems with Yosemite when switching from internal speakers to earbuds

After upgrading to Yosemite on my Macbook Pro, when I switch from using the internal speakers for sound and plug in my (Apple) earbuds, the sound stops working. The sound also stops when I do the reverse and unplug my earbuds, nothing comes out of the internal speakers. The only way to restore sound is to go into System Preferences, Sound, and select the output device (internal speakers, earphones, etc..). Anyone else experiencing this problem after installing Yosemite, or know of a fix?

I have the same problem..
there is something else happened twice with me, I plugged my macbook with a HDMI cable to the TV, and everything was ok, until I closed the macbook (sleep mode), when I opened the mac again,, the sound has gone! No sound from TV or macbook,, the only solution is to "RESTART"

OS X partition becomes corrupt after switching from Bootcamp

So I've had to reinstall os x 10.9.1 no less than three times this week and multiple times before in the past after switching between os x and windows 8.1. This usually happens after I've been using windows for a prolonged period then switch back to os x but it happened today after reinstalling os x from a time machine backup just yesterday. I'll switch between the two and os x becomes corrupt and begins the loading bar sequence after selecting the os x partition via the refit boot manager. I tried repairing the partition using disk utility from the repair partition and an external installation of os x 10.9.1 but every time the disk becomes corrupt and needs to be wiped and reinstalled or install a time machine backup. I've lost count of how many times I've had to do this and to make things even worse both of my external disks have become corrupt after being disconnected for two days while I sort this mess out. Does anyone else have similar issues or can locate an issue somewhere?

Yeah I reinstalled osx 10.9.1 and installed all my apps, put everything back then used bootcamp to create a partition for windows then used wineclone to install my windows 8.1 backup. I jumped from windows > osx > windows > osx inside an hour to move around a few things and I forgot verify bootcamp after I installed the backup and that last time I booted to osx it was corrupted. I used disk utility from my external installation and the recovery partition and both times they need repaired which only came up with the backup and wipe notification window. There have been two occasions where I was able to fix the osx partition from my external osx installation and continue using osx quite perfectly but usually the partition becomes un-mountable after it fails to repair. Usually when this has happened the twenty something times before it's after a prolonged period of a few weeks using windows.
I'm using refit boot manager and paragon NTFS 11 which may be the only software I've installed that could be corrupting the boot.

Problem loading safari webpage after switch from EDGE to 3G and vice versa.

ok, very simple question
i'm on edge, i want to go on safari, so i enable 3G. after that i go on safari and try to open a webpage. even after the 3G icon displays on top, it still takes a very long time before the webpage starts to load. Sometimes i get a message saying Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding. IS THIS NORMAL?
also if im on 3G and switch down to EDGE and then open a page in safari i get a message saying Could not activate cellular data network, even though the page loads anyway. IS THAT NORMAL?
Message was edited by: Stevendo

are you on 4.0.1?
if so then this of course is not normal but it is also happening to me
ill be at home and have 3G on 4 bars and i try to load a page on safari and nothing happens, then i switch it to edge and it connects, but like u when switching from 3G to edge i get those messages.. also i noticed that this only happended after i updated to 4.0.1 and i NEVER got these problems b4 on 4.0 and to make things worse.. in order for my 3G data to work i have to make a phone call, hang up, then ill get connectivity on 3G..
so the fix... i dont kno??
but im suffering like u...
