No audio in Windows 7 64bit with Audigy 4 Pro and Inspire 7.1 speakers

Hi, this is my first post in this forum. This issue is killing me?
Configuration:
Intel Core i7 920 2.66Ghz
DDR3 600Mhz PC2800 6GB Corsair XMS3 Classic CL9 Skt366
Samsung TB HD03SJ 7200rpm 32MB Spinpoint F3
Mobo ASUS 366 P6T SE
New Windows 7 installation, no upgrade, so everything?s new. Realtek HD integrated audio chipset works fine, so the speakers are ok. Obviously I want my 2005 Audigy 4 back, especially for its external box.
I can't get any audio out of my speakers, zero, nothing, nada. Windows 7 recognizes it and if I run the control panel?s tests the equalizer shows that music is playing but still I won?t ear a single note.
I tried everything:
-I checked Windows mixer, the output was correct and no ?mute? was selected, no SPDIF, no optical etc etc
-I deactivated the Realtek
-I tried to put the Audigy in different PCI slots?
-I tried the latest Creative drivers?
-I tried unofficial drivers?
What should I do now?
Maybe I could try:
-Updating the mobo bios. I don?t really want to do it unless it'ss absolutely necessary. My mobo is quite new anyway and from its bios updates I can't see nothing related to pci slots or audio issues.
-Playing around with the drivers: maybe I?m wrong, but I?suspect that, while installing creative drivers, every time I restart the system Windows 7 re-check the audio card and puts its Creative Audigy WDM? driver. I?m not too sure about this: from Windows device manager it seems that the drivers are updated and running.
Any ideas?

JProblem solved.
Apparently there was a clash between Windows 7 driver (?) and the one from Creative.
I had to use a specific software in order?to delete creative drivers and software.
After the erase of every piece of junk I could install creative official drivers.
Audio playback is fine, still I have s?to test recording...

sussie,
Yes. The Audigy 2 ZS sound card support DTS and Dolby Digital 5.1 decoding so it will work with the speaker.

Windows 7 64bit with Audigy 2 ZS platinum - live recording work impossible

The only reason to own a SB platinum audigy solution is for recording work.
Why is Microsoft 7 in beta for a year and yet there are no workable drivers
for the recording features of this soundcard? I have the support release
of Home Premium which came out October 22nd.
The stable driver from Creative has no controls for level of the input. You can hear
the input pass through to the speakers at a fixed medium level,
but recording applications (e.g. audacity, etc.) cannot get the input signal at all.
The beta driver from Sept 2009 does support the levels for inputs such as Aux2
(guitar jack), but now the latency is way too high, and the sound is distorted. I have
tried a few input sampling rates other than the default but it appears to have
no impact on the latency. I think the latency is between 50 and 50 ms. It is
unusable. This latency does not occur on the same hardware and configuration
dual booting to Windows XP.
If the Audigy 2 ZS Platinum is not going to be supported soon for all of the features
(minus game port) which worked in Windows XP, I would like a recommendation
for an alternate product which will be well supported in Windows 7.
Don't tell us to ask Microsoft when the drivers will be ready and working.
Microsoft is telling us to ask Creative Labs for this solution.

N I have the same problem! So frustrating!
Well, I did some digging for the answer to this, how fortunate that there is a solution!
If you disable then re-enable the Windows Audio service, it should fix it until the next time you restart your computer. (I only did it once, but you may have to do it more than once).

Home Sharing will not work with my Windows 8 64bit with new itunes. All of my Apple TVs will not see my library and my iphones will not function with the "Remote" App. They all did before. Only thing that has changed is new PC/itunes. Any Ideas?

Installed a new Windows PC on my home network. PC is Windows 8/64bit. with latest version of itunes 11.1.4.62 for 64bit. My itunes works, but I can not get Home Sharing to function now. None of my Apple TV's can see my computer library and prompt me to turn it on. All of my iphones, pods, pad, can not use the "Remote" app. When you prompt your phone in Remote App to "add library" and you get the code....iTunes doesnt give you the remote screen where you can enter the code. I have reloaded iTunes, reset my router, updated all devices. You can turn on "Home Sharing" on iTunes, but then it closes and doesnt seem to link my devices like it use to. Also, when the new version of iTunes is up on my PC, you can see the other devices to AirPlay to like you could before. However, I can send items from my iphone to stream to an Apple TV, I just cant link them all like I could before and control the music playing to multiple Apple TV. Growing fustrated. Any ideas, would be helpful.

You are a legend!! I have spent countless hours uninstalling, reinstalling itunes, playing with firewall settings, reading articles on this problem!! I only have to un-sync my iphone 5 and then the airplay icon magically appeared!!! Maybe I have too many devices syncing via wi-fi, or maybe it is the Iphone syncing??
Whatever - one step and now I can enjoy my music through my house again!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you

Error installing BI Publisher Desktop in Windows 7 64bits with Office 2010

Hello
I'm having a problem when trying to install the latest version of BI Publisher Desktop on my computer (Windows 7-64bits with Office 2010).
Almost at the end of the installation it appears a message box saying "Template Builder installer failed: Cannot run installer while Mocrosoft Word is running". Now, i made sure all Office apps are closed, as well as IE windows. What i've noticed is that right before this error appears, a process for WINWORD.exe is open - by the installer.
How can i fix this?
Many thanks for your replies

I've tried runnig the installer with Windows XP SP3 compatibility and it worked.

Windows 7 64bit with ODBC 11.2.0.1.0 - Exception: System.OverflowException

Hello,
Please help. I developed an interface between a CAD and Oracle 10g 32bit on Windows Server 2003. I have no problems with the using of the ODBC driver (Instant Client Package - ODBC (instantclient-odbc-win-x86-64-10.2.0.3.0.zip) on Windows XP 32bit and Windows XP 64bit.
If I try to use 64bit ODBC driver (Instant Client Package - ODBC (instantclient-odbc-win-x86-64-11.2.0.1.0.zip) on Windows 7 64bit with the Oracle DB 10g 32bit on Windows Server 2003, I receive the following message after the line with OraRead = OraComm.ExecuteReader:

     OraRead.Read()
The test connection from the ODBC admin tool return ok.
Any help will be apricable.

Help with OBDC connection in Windows 7 64bit with Office 2010 32 bit.

Hi,
Many moons ago I wrote an application in Java that configured XP machines after they were sysprep’d and deployed. I am currently migrating all our workstations to Windows 7, and was checking my application still worked and queries the correct registry keys etc.
As it turns out however I don't even get going as I believe the application is unable to connect to the ODBC Microsoft Access Driver in Windows 7 64bit with Office 2010 32 bit. Below is the code I have always used and no longer works. I am hopeful that someone can tell me how to modify the command to work on Windows 7 64bit. If I browse to C:\Windows\SysWow64\OBDCad32.exe all the drivers I need are there I think, but if I open OBDC from Administrative Tools the Drivers tab is empty but for SQL. Anyway I will shut up and below is the code I used to use:
     public IOMakeConnection()
     dm = new DisplayMessage();
     ioed = new IOEncryptDecrypt();
     url = "jdbc:odbc:DRIVER=Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb);DBQ=" + getPath() + "Config.mdb;Uid=admin;Pwd=password";
          try
          Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
          connection = DriverManager.getConnection( url );
          catch( Exception e )
          system.out.println( "" + e );
          errorObtainingPath();
The exception is always thrown as my little app that requests the database path always loads.
Thanks in advance,
Cheers Kris

Hello again,
Sorry for the delayed response, I have been out of the office for a few days.
I have solved the issue, and as stated above the issue was the way I was launching the application. Below is a summary of the issue and the resolution.
My problem was that in Windows 64bit if you click on ODBC in Administrative Tools the Drivers Tab only includes an SQL Driver, and my code reference a Microsoft Access Driver to query the database. That said however if you browse to C:\Windows\SysWow64 and open obdcab32.exe it opens the 32bit version of ODBC, and the Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb) is listed.
Basically what I need to do therefore is get my code to access the “32bit” version of ODBC in a Windows 7 64bit environment, so my application was able to read the necessary information from the Access Database associated with it.
I understand that this is not a coding issue directly, but assuming people still use Java to open an Access Database on a Windows 7 64bit OS, this may be of help.
So previously I ran the following command, from the “Target” box in a shortcut to execute the java code:
cmd.exe /C SET CLASSPATH=C:\SCAConfigurationUtility && CD\SCAConfigurationUtility && JAVAW SCAConfigurationUtility
Windows 7 64bit, defaults to the 64bit version of Java, and just seems to plain fail if you only have the 32bit version installed. To overcome this I forced the java executable that I was using to be the 32bit version, and used the system switches available in Java 7 (-cp does not appear to be available in Java 6)
So my Shortcut now has this in the “Target” box:
java.exe -d32 -cp C:\SCAConfigurationUtility SCAConfigurationUtility
And this in the “Start in” box:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin"
Or by using the target below the same shortcut works in XP
"C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin"
Thanks for all the help,
Regards Kris.

System Update Problems - Windows XP 64bit with SP2

Hi,
I have been Googling away but can't seem to fix my error when running System Update 3.14 on Windows XP 64bit with SP2. I keep getting the following error at 9-10%:
"An error occurred while gathering user information"
Has anyone managed to get this working on this OS?
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and also uninstalling .NET 3.5 but nothing has worked.
Thanks.

Hi,
x64 Bit XP is not supported by TVSU, so I really doubt, that there is an official fix for this one.
Cheers

WIP: My adventures with 2011 MacBook Pro and Windows 8.1 including seconday HDD

So I've just lost about 3 days of my life trying to install Windows 8.1 (my preferred) operating system on a Late 2011 MacBook Pro.
I feel that I've learnt a lot and hopefully can share my experiences to speed a few of you along the process. This is my own experience please let me know if anything I have documented is not true and I will revise for completeness
What my initial goal was to have a dual HD set up with an SSD running both Mac OSX and Windows 8.1 (via Bootcamp) with a 2ndry HD in places of the optical (DVD) drive for shared storage.
I have tried all/some of the following:
Win 8.1 ISO from the MS site: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media
USB created using Rufus for Bios and EFI boot
DVD created using Windows 8.1 (can't remember how)
Yosemite USB created using: Create a bootable installer for OS X Mavericks or Yosemite - Apple Support
There are 2 main options when installing Windows:
Bios
EFI
Both have different pros and cons, which Im going to try and document here:
Bios
Full driver support via Bootcamp download
Slower (mainly boot time, not by much though)
Not quite as "native" as some may prefer
Limited number of partitions??
EFI
Fast
Native
Does not support video driver properly (no dual screen)
Audio does not work (says Failed to start device)
Here are some random facts I know
Windows DVD will only boot from optical drive when connected internally. If plugged in via external USB it stops at black screen with flashing cursor and doesnt progress
Using 5HT-2a's method on Redit (see below) and the EFI install, I get the Cx0000005 cannot find source media error and cannot install
Hacking the Bootcamp tool to create a Windows 8 ISO with all the drivers works (see link below) but when using it in EFI it crashes repeatedly during install so you never can complete the process (I think this is due to the video drivers) and therefore can't run Bootcamp assistant thus get proper trackpad support
Using lion10's method (below) for tweaking a standard Mac partitioned HD I was able to get past the cannot install Windows error ("windows cannot be installed to this disk. the selected disk is of the GPT partition style") and install Windows using EFI
Best guides/links I have found:
lion10's method:The ultimate way to install Windows 8.x in (U)EFI mode on Apple systems
5HT-2a's method: http://www.reddit.com/r/mac/comments/2fy3be/by_popular_demand_my_better_than_boo tcamp_guide/
skipsizemore's method: Can't install Windows 8 x64 on late 2013 MBP with1TB SSD
Bootcamp drivers 2 versions depending on Mac:
Older Macs: Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5621
Newer Macs (most 2013+): Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5640
Bootcamp Assistant Hack for USB creation on older Macs: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1680652There is an additional parameter required if you are using Yosemite during code signing (-deep I think, but cant remember)

What I ended up doing (so far)
I'm not 100% sure of the state of my disk when I got to where I ended up but I had previous completed the GDisk and DISKPART methods from 5HT-2a and lion10's methods. I was using a 128gb SSD
I then decided to start from the top (as I had previous installed Win 8.1 on the original HD using DVD)
So I ran the Yosemite installer (via USB) and used the partition tab in Disk Utility to repartition the disk into 2 partitions, 1 for OSX and 1 (ExFat/NTFS) for Windows
I then booted in Bios (Windows, not EFI) using the Windows 8.1 DVD using the DVD plugged in internally (wouldnt work using USB enclosure)
Installed Windows to the partition I created (probably the 4th one)
After Windows installed, ran the Bootcamp set up program
Reran Yosemite installer and installed Yosemite
Swapped out the optical drive for a larger HD (7200rpm) and formatted it with HFS+

There are many possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Some may not apply to your model. Back up all data before making any changes.
1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article. Don't skip any of the steps. It's the starting point for further efforts to solve the problem.
2. Run Software Update and make sure you have a fully up-to-date installation of OS X.
3. If you've installed an application called "Memory Clean" or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "purge" memory automatically, remove it according to the developer's instructions and restart. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
4. Other third-party software that has been reported to interfere with sound output includes "Boom" and "Samsung Kies." If applicable, uninstall according to the developer's instructions (not by dragging something to the Trash.)
5. If an AirPlay device is selected for sound output from iTunes (or from other applications via third-party software such as "Airfoil"), deselect it.
6. Launch the application "Audio MIDI Setup" by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search and selecting it in the results (it should be at the top.) Select Built-in Output from the list on the left. If the Mute boxes are checked, uncheck them.
7. If a red light is visible in the audio-out port when sound should be playing, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
8. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones. Restart and test.
9. If you have a MacBook Air, turn off Bluetooth and restart.
10. Start up in safe mode. Don't log in; just restart as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
11. Reset the NVRAM.
12. Reset the SMC.
13. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/Audio
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Recreate your settings in the Sound preference pane.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
14. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
15. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

I tried installing the latest iTunes to my housemate's PC, logging into iTMS with my account, authorizing his machine to play my content, restoring my iPod to the factory settings, downloading the videos and copying them to my iPod.
It worked fine, and I can play my videos.
I have done the exact SAME thing on my own home PC twice, after completely uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and the Apple Software Updater. But I still can't get any videos downloaded on my home PC to play on my iPods.
Any thoughts?

I too experienced the same issue. Here are my details:
Recently I bought a 15” Macbook Pro and last night I tried to connect and use a Edirol FA/66 Firewire 400 connected outboard audio interface using a Firewire 400 to 800 adapter then connected to a Firewire 800 to Thunderbolt adapter since the MBP doesn’t have a native Firewire port. What I observed is that the Edirol was not getting power from the bus nor did the MBP (running Yosemite) recognize the Edriol. At first I thought there was a problem with the Edirol since I haven’t used it in a while but when I connected it to an older MBP that has a native Firewire port, it worked normally. Is there a known issue with these sorts of external audio interfaces working properly with newer MBP running Yosemite? I’m hoping that a software update will fix this issue.
