No Dolby/DTS decoder tab in audio console after installing new driv

Using X-Fi Elite Pro and Vista 64-bit /w new 2.8.0004 drivers. Notes in the lastest driver says that Dolby/DTS encoding is enabled for Vista, but I'm not seeing the decoder tab like other people have. Can I still decode with my soundcard using method 2 in this thread

I don't have decoder tab with X-Fi XtremeMusic either in Vista x64. Is that normal And what does that "Dolby Digital and DTS decode re-established for sound cards that included decoding in their Windows XP drivers" feature introduced with latest X-Fi drivers mean if there's no decoder options at all
I have the X-Fi XtremeMusic soundcard and Vista Ultimate x64 SP, I get the decoder tab in both creative audio console and Creative Console Launcher (All modes). In order to get the Dolby Digital and DTS decoder tab in both creative audio console and Creative Console Launcher (Entertainment mode, game mode, ect) you have to install the following. Later, you can buy the Dolby Digital Li've as a add on.

Can't find the 'decoder' tabe in audio console wind

I just bought a x-fi fatalty. All drivers was installed.
However when I tried to set the spdif passthru to an external AV amp, I can't find the decoder tab in the audio console windows as shown in below screen capture I found on the web.

Hi adrianmak?If you use spdif don?t need X-Fi decoder, when use spdif you send signal to a external decoder. Digital Connections, SPDIF and Dolby Digital Info[/b] ?Movies wth Dolby Digital (AC3) & DTSMovies on DVD often use encoded?audio in the form of Dolby Digital (AC3) or DTS. This means that all 6 channels are compressed into a single stream of digital data. A decoder is required to extract the channels and send the sound to the correct speakers. There are three ways to do this.
) Pass the AC3/DTS signal to a external decoder. This is where your optical/coax connection is used. To?go down this route, you must first have a?set of speakers or a decoder that?supports Dolby Digital.
In your DVD software, select 'SPDIF' as the audio output method and 'SPDIF Pass-through' in?your?soundcard options. What this does is?tells both the software and soundcard to leave the audio from the DVD in compressed form and send it straight through the digital outputs. Your?digital speakers/receiver will do all the decoding to give you full surround sound.
Please note that this?is the only way to get 6 channels through an optical/coax cable.
2) Decode the AC3/DTS with your Sound Blaster.?You should choose this option if?you don't have an external decoder. In the DVD software, select 'SPDIF' as the audio output method and make sure that 'SPDIF Pass-through' in the souncard options is?off. The DVD software will now pass the compressed audio to your soundcard, which will then decode the data. The soundcard will output the 6 channels using the?analogue connections (or digital DIN, more on this later). If you try?to use a digital optical/coax connection to your speakers, you will only hear faint sounds from the front left/right speakers.
3) Decode the AC3/DTS with software.?If you have a soundcard that doesn't support Dolby Digital (like the SB Li've! 24-bit) and you don't have digital speakers, the only way for you to get surround sound in movies is to use software to decode the AC3/DTS. The free versions of DVD software you get with hardware often don't support this feature,? you will most likely need a full version. First select 'Dolby Digital' or 'DTS' decoding in the DVD software audio options (you must select the right?sound format for the movie you are watching). Then make sure that 'SPDIF Pass-through' in the soundcard options is off. As with method (2) you must connect your speakers with the 3 analogue cables, not optical/coax.[url="http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=soundblaster&message.id=270">[/url]?What version you have?Try to update drivers from creative, MS Windows Update X-fi driver version?disable decoder tab.

Audio problems after installing Windows 8.1

Hey, so I got this laptop (HP ENVY TouchSmart 15-j013ea) last month, I downloaded 8.1 when it was released and my audio has been shocking since installing. I've tried uninstalling the IDT drivers and having the default Windows driver, but both are pretty terrible.
When I have headphones plugged in, I can hear a low buzzing noise, like somewhere the audio is set to a crazy high volume, that sort of buzzing. When I'm playing audio through the speakers it sounds like how it would if you had headphones plugged in but you weren't wearing them, really low and like it's far away
Hope that sorta explains the problem, really ruining this laptop and so far Windows 8.1 seems horrid

Try installing the driver from the following weblink:
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp61001-61500/sp61258.exe
if the issue persists, please provide the hardware id of your sound card using the following steps:
1. In the search option of Charms Bar type devmgmt.msc. Select the resulted file in the left pane. This opens Device Manager.
2. Unknown devices would be listed as such and marked out with a yellow question mark.
3. Select the sound video or game controllers, unknown device or other device for which you need drivers and right click to access Properties.
4. In the Properties window click on Details tab and select Device Instance Id or Hardware ID from the drop down.
5. An alphanumeric string like this PCI\VEN_1217&DEV_7130&SUBSYS_012F1025&REV_01\4&6B16D5B&0&33F0 is the identification marker for the device.
6. Please provide this number so that we can suggest the appropriate driver.

Win XP finds no audio device after installing Audigy 2

After installing Audigy 2 ZS, my Windows XP could no longer identify an audio device. Under Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices, clicking on the Audio tab, there is no Default Device for playback or whatsoever.
However, under the Hardware tab, Audigy 2 ZS is visible and seems to work fine. The only suspicious part I caught is that when I check for Properties of Audigy 2 ZS and go down to check Properties of Creative Audigy Audio Processor (WDM), the status shows "The di'ver is enabled but has not been started." I have no idea how this can be fixed.
The integrated sound card is turned off in the BIOS.
I've tried all possible ways to install, uninstall, install..., but just couldn't get XP to work properly. Any other possible solutions out there?
Many thanks!

Solved after reinstalling Win XP. Wasted too much time on trying other possible solutions.
Hope other people may learn something out of it.

Uanble to open the App server console after installing the Oracle soa suite

Hello,
after installing the oracle soa suite 10.3.1.0 we are unable to open the application server console. it gives "page not found" error.
We have installed on a Win2000 server instance.
We have selected all the default values while installing.
any input is appreciated.
regards

We had the same problem today:
1. From cmnd line, from your ...\opmn\bin directory run "opmnctl startall".
2. That will tell you where the log files are and what they're called. If the log file error was like mine, "Could not reserve enough space for your object heap.", then you need to try setting your maxpermsize=128 in oc4j_opmn.xml and opmn.xml
This resolved the issue for me, hope it helps.

Unable to open EIS console after install...

I get the error "olapbldr has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.",
This displays in the typcial Microsoft Send Error Report window. THis occurs immediately after I try to open the EIS console by clicking on the shortcut in Programs menu.
Background:
I installed Hyperion System 9 release 9.3.1 from scratch.
1. Oracle Database (user IDs: hypuser for shared services, plansys and planapp for planning module)
2. Shared Services
3. Essbase
4.Planning (without EPMA)
5. HFM
6. Reporting and Analysis
I installed and configured the above components exactly as in the order given in "Installation_Start_here" document.
After completion of Step 3 above, I was able to open EIS console. At this time, it displayed the Metaoutline creation login window. I did not create any meta outline at this time.
I believe this can be done later and not part of the installation/configuration. Correct me if I am wrong.
The above mentioned error message occured after I try to open EIS console after completing the installation of products. At this stage, its not even showing any initial screen of EIS console and straight away gives the erorr message.
What could be the problem here? Did I miss anything in installation/configuration? I have followed this sequence and method in past installations, but didn't have any issue opening EIS.
cheers
Z

Iam also facing the same problem.
While open EIS console, Iam getting error like "An unhandled win32 exception occurred in olapbldr.exe".
There is no error message in log files.
Please help me

Question about a log in Console after installing iTunes update

After installing iTunes I noticed these logs in Console:
11/29/12 6:11:47.673 PM sudo[1485]: root : TTY=unknown ; PWD=/private/tmp/PKInstallSandbox.8WAxMg/Scripts/com.apple.pkg.MobileDevice.hTs dtR ; USER=XXXXXX ; COMMAND=/bin/launchctl load -w //System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.MDCrashReportd.plist

I noticed that they have something to do with Crash Reporter, but are they a crash, or some command to the file during the install of the update? Any insight from someone who understands the terminal commands would be appreciated.
Thanks,

The Safe Mode startup key combo is the same; Startup key combinations for Intel-based Macs, it just isn't working for you.
I suggest starting from the Install DVD that came with your iMac. Once in the Installer you will find tools in the Utilties menu. Using the Disk Utility try repairing the startup volume.

No audio core after installing Maverics

After upgrading to maverics, my core audio soundcard stopped working. When I checked in "about this mac" it is present, computer starts with start up sound, but when I go to preferences/audio I only have digital out. This is quite frustrating as I need to edit videos!
Anyone can help?
I've tried fiddling with headphones input, as some users suggested, no luck.

Hey there RadBuda,
It sounds like you are unable to get audio on your iMac when you log into your account after installing Mavericks, but you do hear the startup chime when you turn the computer on. I would start by resetting your SMC:
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
From: Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
Then reset your PRAM with this article and re test the issue:
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Option, Command (⌘), P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on your Mac.
Immediately press and hold the Option-Command-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.Continue holding the keys down until your Mac restarts, and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
Resetting PRAM may change some system settings and preferences. Use System Preferences to restore your settings.

No onboard audio after installing new graphics card

Good afternoon,
This is my system:
Pavilion Elite 5100t ATX PX
Vista 64
Raedon HD 5670
After installing the video card, the onboard 5.1 audio panel at the back only produces sound for the subwoofer. The front headphone jack is still working. The video card supports HDMI, and therefore has an audio component in it. I tried the following without any solution:
1. Setting onboard audio as "enable" in BIOS
2. Choosing "speakers" as default in control panel-->sound
3. Disabling the HDMI audio output in control panel-->sound
4. Uninstalling both audio drivers (onboard Realtek and AMD from the VC) with auto-reinstallation when restart
Those are the common recommendations I got from different forum. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Did you try the latest Realtek audio driver?
I had a problem similar to yours with my NVIDIA GT 460. It turned out to be a bad Realtek audio driver. I had to go back to the original Realtek driver that came with my HP PC until Realtek fixed that issue that I reported to them. I had tried six differnet Realtek drivers.
HP DV9700, t9300, Nvidia 8600, 4GB, Crucial C300 128GB SSD
HP Photosmart Premium C309G, HP Photosmart 6520

Creative, the most important feature I use is Dolby/DTS decoding

And the current vista drivers don't include this. I really need this as I use my computer to decode the audio from my HDTV and ps3, as well as decoding the AC3 and DTS on DVDs. Ever since I got vista, I have needed to dual boot to XP to get this feature, we really need this for vista. Please make it a priority. I don't want to keep having to switch between XP and Vista.

Quoted from http://forums.creative.com/creativel...message.id=694?post #3:?Pre-mixed AudioSecond, with the way this new emulation structure, all ?MME? and ?Direct Sound? applications will ultimately result in pre-mixed PCM audio that is sent to the driver in one and only one format (in terms of sample rate, bit depth and channel count), and that format is governed by a control panel setting that Microsoft would prefer be configured only by the end user. This eliminates any opportunity for hardware to accelerate sample rate conversion or to take full advantage of advanced SRC technologies such as the ones used in the X-Fi product (http://www.soundblaster.com/products/x-fi/technology/lastinfo/ssrc.asp) when using standard operating system audio.

TREX httpserver red in TREX admin console after install v7.0

I have installed TREX version 7.0 and the httpserver is red in the Services tab of the admin console. When I try to restart it it states "Access Denied, you must be an administrator of the remote computer to use this command."
I am positive that the tsxadm id that I am using is an administrator, since I have checked. Is it trying to use a different id that I am unaware of?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
This is on a windows 2003 server SP1 with IIS 6.0.
Thanks
Paul

Apparently it was a DCOM error that seems to be fixed after implementing MS KB Article 913119 since I can now restart the server. However it is still in red and has the following error in the trace file:

Can't log into Sun DS 5.2 Console after installing Identity Synchronization

Installing the Identity Synchronization module over the directory server prevents me from logging into the server using the console.
I installed Sun Java System Directory Server 5.2 on a Windows 2000 server. After that, I installed the following in the order below:
1. Patch 5077789 Patch 2
2. Patch 117667-03
3. Sun Java System Message Queue 3.5 SP1.
Upto this point, I was able to log into the DS server without any problems. I was also able to access and use the MQ.
After this, I installed the Sun Java System Identity Synchronization module.
Now I am unable to log into the DS console. The error I get is "Cannot logon because of an incorrect User ID, Incorrect password or Directory problem.
java.net.SocketException: Connection reset"
Any ideas what the problem might be? I've tried uninstalling, cleaning up and reinstalling everything, but to no avail.
Thanks in advance

Look at the logs/error under admin-serv directory for more clue
Make sure hostname.ldapdomainname (eg: ldap1.example.com) for LDAP server is set in Windows hosts file as 1st field.
cd to slapd-hostname and run
.\saveconfig
Notepad the ldif file generated, search for userPassword for cn=admin-serv-hostname, AND CHECK IF there is passwordExpirationTime set, if there it could mean userPassword of admin-serv-hostname expired, if so you may follow a recent thread to set it to never expire.

1-2 Second Audio Delay after installing windows 7

I installed windows 7 on monday but whenever i do anything that has audio it is always delayed by -2 seconds.
For example when playing Dragon Age Origins an npc's mouth moves then a second latter the audio finally comes.
When listening to music it isnot that noticable since it is just audio but when i pause or stop it the audio continues for -2 seconds.
When watching videos on Hulu it is the same as games where the voice comes about -2 seconds after the person's mouth moves.
I have everything up to date via the auto updater and checked on here to verify the correct drivers are installed and they are indeed the latest.
Everything worked fine when i had vista but this issue may not be big to some but since i am a big very gamer this is a major problem and if not fixed soon i will remove the card and use the crappy onboard sound.
Any help fixin this issue would be greatly apreciated.
Edit: Forgot to mention that i use the creative sound blaster x-fi titanium card
Edit: I managed to fix it by deleteing EVERYTHING Creative and using ONLY the newest driver from the site, however doing this pretty much makes my card nothing more than a fancy onboard sound card since it doesn't have any of it's features.
The updater doesn't detect my card and when it does and i install anything from the list i get this audio delay issue.

If you are running FCP 4.5 and OSX 10.4.9, >>THIS THREAD<<</a> may be of interest.
