No sound what so ever in Windows XP.

Roughly an hour or two ago I booted my computer onto the Windows XP partition of my Hard-drive and Heard the familiar Start up noise thingy for Windows XP. I thought I would play a little Team Fortress 2 and started Steam and TF2. Once in the game I noticed that I wasn't hearing any of the usual menu music of Sound effects. I decided to quit out of the game and restart my computer, there was no log-off/shut down sound thingy. I restarted and re-booted into Windows XP and this time there was not Start up tone either. There was still no sound in anything in Windows.
I've checked and double checked all of the sound control panel and I've checked my speakers and everything is the same as it was when I was getting sound.
I've got the standard 2008 quadcore Mac Pro except that I have a Geforce 8800GT for a graphics card. I don't know how to find system information in Windows so if you need me to show you something else tell me what it is you're looking for and how to find it.

I have the same problem but my problem is on a literal desktop PC with win XPpro SP2. I installed the game and get noise from the video but then noise from the game menus or anything. After quitting it took out sound altogether on windows. I had to reinstall sound drivers but I still get no noise in game, but windows sound works fine even if I quit out of the game. Not sure what to do.

  • Hi i upgrade from lion to mountain lion to day on my mini mac,Since the upgrade i am getting no sound through my HDMI cable which was working fine on lion Checked the midi audio settings and system preferences to out on HDMi nothing no sound whats so ever

    Hi i upgraded from lion to mountain lion to day on my mini mac,Since the upgrade i am no longer getting sound through my HDMI cable which was working fine on lion Checked the midi audio settings and system preferences to out on HDMi nothing no sound whats so ever.Any one any ideas?
    I use a samsung TV for my monitor via HDMI.Tried all the system Audi setting nothing .Head phone and internal speakers are fine.

    Similar issue; Audio was working fine on Lion, now not on Mountain Lion. Have a Macbook Pro early 2011 with AMD Radeon HD 6750M, connected by thunderbolt through a Lacie LBD to a mini-displayport to HDMI adapter (n.b. same problem when not going through the LBD) to a Pioneer VSX 521 AV receiver. For me when I go into audio Midi settings all the volume sliders for the displayport device are greyed out and at zero. But when I click 'configure speakers', it's able to send out the test signals to each speaker. Part of the problem could be that I'm not getting the option to put out 6channel sound, only 2 or 8 channel. Since my system is Dolby 5.1, and I only have 6 speakers, I would have expected the 6ch option to be available. But I imagine there's more to it than that. Elsewhere someone has suggested playing with Remote Interactive over HD on an Onkyo device; I'll see if there's something similar on the Pioneer that can be changed. Any other suggestions welcome.

  • There is NO SOUND what so ever

    I have had my iPod since Christmas this past year and it has been working fine ever since about a week ago. I usually use my iPod in my car (connected with the radio) and all of the sudden it wont play sound (even when the both radio stations are the same and it is fully charged).
    Then I tried to see if it would work regularly with headphones and it doesn't. I even tested the headphones on another device and it worked. I tired reseting the iPod several times and it did not help. I have updated iTunes and everything.
    The display and video works just fine, its strictly the sound that doesn't work even if the volume is turned up all the way.
    Please let me know if there is anything I can do to solve this problem. Thanks!

    Have you tried restoring the iPod?

  • No audio or any sound what so ever

    Hello. Recently i upgraded from Windows XP to windows Vista Home Premium. My sound has stopped working since. I teamed up with a Microsoft professional and he said to go see if there is a new driver i can download for this type of problem. My System Model is PY195AV-ABA a1110y
    . If you can, please me a link for the latest driver to the lastest BIOS and the sound card. My microsoft support helper has told me that he will work closely with HP. Please help and thank you. If any HP staff would like to contact me privatly through e-mail please let me know

  • Absolutly No Sound What So Ever.

    I just got a mac mini about a week ago. It has been working great until tonight. I was watching that Apple MEeting thing with Steve Jobs under"Quicktime" and the sound was really quiet. I had the speaker up to my ear and it was like Steve Jobs was Wispering into a tin can. When I wanted to listen to iTunes about 10 minutes ago, three hours after little sound, there was nothing. Not out of the internal speaker, Headphones, and external speskers. All the volume in turned up and it is not muted. So please help. Suggest anything, even if it farfetched.

    There are usually two separate settings for volume. One is for the system itself (in the Sound System Preferences) and the other is for the individual application that's playing the audio. Are EACH of these turned up? You can reset the system volume by "zapping the PRAM". Restart the Mac mini and hold down on the Apple, Option, p and r keys all at the same time. You should hear the startup chime (the first one may be quiet) but keep holding down on the keys until you hear the third chime. Then let go of the keys and let the Mac mini finish starting up. Then make sure the volume in your applications is turned up and give it a try again.

  • No Sound What-so-ever on Macbook Pro

    Recently, my Macbooks sound stopped working.  I did not drop it, spill anything, or do any external harms to my computer that would cause the sound to stop working.  My computer recognizes when headphones are plugged in, but no sound will come out of the headphones either.  There is no red light coming out of the headphone jack. There is no start up chime.  I have reset the... PRAM?... when you push the 3 buttons at start up... there are no sounds when I reset the PRAM. Zero sound is coming from my computer.  I also tried that garage band trick and no luck.  My computer is 3 1/2 years old.  My mom did not take my advice and buy apple care or extend the warranty on my laptop, so if there is a way to fix this without it costing me all the money I have in my name right now, that would help a ton.  PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME

    Go to System Settings -> Sound and check the settings according to the following pictures:
    If the settings are correct and there is no sound either on headphone nor internal speaker, fiddle a bit with the headphone plug (smooth) in and out at the socket. Sometimes the contacts inside the socket are locked.
    If nothing of the above helps, eventually your sound device is gone.

  • No Sound What So E

    I have no sound what so ever except for my Tower Beeping when there is supposed to be sound. I have tried to uninstall the driver and reinstall. Didnt work. Tried updating doesnt work. And when I try to update the driver it says its not installed. I cant find the driver installment software so is there anyone that can help me out or point me in the right direction. I have SoundBlaster Li've 5. model # SB0220

    gimike,
    Did the card stop working recently, or have you installed it new? It's an OEM card, so the drivers on the Creative site won't work as you've found. If you have the install CD, use that to reinstall. Otherwise, you may need to go back to the manufacturer of your computer. Here is one source for the XP drivers.

    I have Windows 7 and for some reason I cannot install Adobe Type Manager onto my Computer. I need ATM to install the DIN font but am having no luck what so ever. I can see the DIN font in my Dropbox but it is showing up like this:-  ._DIN-bold, no file file extension. what am I doing wrong? is it Mac?

    (1)    Adobe Type Manager (ATM) is not compatible with any version of Windows beyond Windows XP (32-bit, only). Attempting to install ATM on any newer version of Windows may actually disable Window's capability of rendering Type 1 and OpenType CFF fonts, requiring a reinstallation of Windows.
    (2)    There is no need to use ATM to install any fonts under Windows.
    (3)    The file name ._DIN-bold is indicative of a MacOS font. These fonts cannot be installed on Windows systems.

  • What is the equivalent Windows laptop?

    What's the best Windows laptop equivalent to the MBP 15.4"? My vote goes to the Thinkpad T60p.

    sigh
    He asked what's the equivalent. When people ask for the "equivalent", they mean comparable hardware at a similar price. Most techies (who are what Apple's trying to court right now) will want to see similar specs, maybe compare weights, size, etc. We don't really care about immeasurable things like "design" and relatively useless stuff like the "patent pending magnetic power connector" (I have never, ever tripped over my laptops' wires. Neither has my family. And over the course of the last 10 years I've owned 6 laptops).
    As for trying to compare, if you honestly don't know what you're talking about, please don't speak. Dual Athlons are not the equivalent of an Intel Core Duo. Dual Athlons are a lot faster and guzzle tremendous amounts of energy. If you want to make a valid comparison, look at the Inspiron 9300 with Core Duo and a similar video card.
    Please don't let the reality distortion field and marketingspeak affect what you say to others. This is a big year for Apple to court us geeks, and we really, REALLY don't like the reality distortion field and marketingspeak. Just give us specs and benchmarks. Thanks.

  • What to do if Windows displays an "iTunes.exe - Corrupt File" message

    Greetings fellow Podders, Resident Furball here...
    It is about time that I produced a single post for all the chkdsk issues that we've been discussing since November 2004. The Apple KB article seems to cover the major points succinctly, but we need to address the more serious variations and flavours of the problem.
    <hr>
    What to do if Windows displays an "iTunes.exe - Corrupt File" message
    Many users are coming across this seemingly distressing error message in Windows when connecting their iPods. As described in Apple KB Article 300554, the message reads:
    iTunes: iTunes.exe - Corrupt File
    The file or directory \iPod_Control\iTunes\????????? is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility.
    and the ????????? can be anything (eg. sysinfo, Temp1, DeviceInfo etc.).
    <hr>
    Don't panic!
    If you do see this, don't worry, and don't panic. Contrary to what the error message reads, this issue actually has very little to do with iTunes. The iPod_Control is the key to this - because this folder doesn't even exist in iTunes... it's on the iPod!
    ...so! Installing and uninstalling iTunes really won't do you much good at all... it's the iPod that needs attention.
    <hr>
    What's causing this error?
    To be honest, we don't know. We saw a massive number of reports of this issue back in November 2004, because iPod Updater 2004-11-15 contained a firmware bug that corrupted iPod system files when the Pod entered Deep Sleep.
    But this firmware bug was corrected in iPod Updater 2005-06-26.
    Of late, we have seen a resurgence in chkdsk errors on Discussions. Some of these are caused by the old buggy firmware that people still have. Some of the errors are more serious and are hardware and operating system-related. But we have still to pin down the exact cause of this error.
    <hr>
    Okay, so what do I do if I see this error?
    In short, as Apple have recommended in their KB article:
    Restore your iPod, using the latest iPod Updater.
    Follow the instructions carefully. Ensure that you download the iPod Updater. Ensure that you install it, and then ensure that you run it with the iPod connected and follow the prompts to the letter.
    The broad majority of the errors are painlessly fixed this way. Of course, it does mean that your iPod will be wiped, so make sure that you have your music/data backed up, and/or present in iTunes so you can resynchronise it when you have finished Restoring.
    <hr>
    Okay, I've Restored, but the error is still coming up
    Are you sure you've Restored? Quite a number of folks are assuming that just downloading the iPod Updater is enough. It's not. And neither is downloading iPod Updater, and installing it on your computer. It needs to be implemented on the iPod, according to the iPod Updater instructions.
    Okay, so if you have Restored your iPod, and you are still getting this error, then you have a variety of options available.
    Chkdsk errors that are not fixed with a Restore are most likely down to two things:
    1) A physical issue on the iPod itself
    or
    2) An issue on the computer's operating system
    Here's where it gets woolly. There are a variety of things you could try...
    Format the iPod in Windows
    This would usually have the same effect as a Restore, but a deep-level format in Windows is something that Apple have recommended in the past, as a last resort to completely wipe the iPod before performing a Restore with iPod Updater. This process wipes the iPod.
    To do this:
    1) Enable Disk Mode on the iPod. You can do this either in iTunes (which is best), or manually on the iPod itself.
    2) Open My Computer and locate your iPod
    3) Right-click the iPod and select Format
    4) Leave the parameters set at their defaults, and ensure Quick Format is unchecked
    5) Hit Format
    6) Then Restore your iPod as normal.
    Run the Chkdsk utility
    You could run the chkdsk utility on your iPod. But Restoring your iPod has the same effect as running chkdsk. Chkdsk does not wipe your iPod.
    1) Enable Disk Mode as above
    2) Determine the drive letter of your iPod from My Computer
    3) Go to Start, Run
    4) Type cmd. Hit Enter to take you to the Command Prompt.
    5) Type chkdsk /f X:, where X is the drive letter of your iPod. Hit Enter, and any corrupt files are found and corrected.
    Run Windows ScanDisk
    ScanDisk is the Windows version of Chkdsk. It does not wipe your iPod.
    1) Enable Disk Mode
    2) Right-click the iPod in My Computer, select Properties
    3) Select Tools
    4) Select the option to scan the disk for errors
    Try changing the Drive Letter of the iPod
    Sometimes Windows confuses the drive letters, and this can cause the iPod to be adversely affected. Try the instructions detailed in Apple KB Article 93499 to change the drive letter of the iPod. This does not wipe your iPod.
    Try changing Hardware Policies for the iPod
    The Hardware Policies in Windows have been known to affect the way in which the iPod connects, synchronises, and disconnects. This does not wipe your iPod.
    1) Enable Disk Mode so the iPod appears in My Computer
    2) Right-click the iPod in My Computer
    3) Select Properties
    4) Select Hardware Policies
    5) Select Optimize for Performance (instead of Optimize for Removal)
    6) Restart your computer.
    Contact Apple for a replacement iPod
    Some chkdsk issues have been caused by faulty hardware. As a last resort, contact Apple Support by phone to report your issue, and/or request an iPod Service.
    If you explain that you have followed all these steps, you should have a strong case for obtaining a replacement iPod.
    <hr>
    Thanks!
    Thank you to everyone for their continued support, kindness and excellent troubleshooting skills here on Discussions. There are countless people that I am deeply grateful to for their assistance in handling this issue. Rest assured folks, you have made me the Discussions Furball that I am today.
    Happy Podding folks!
    Kind regards,
    Gopha.

    iPod Updater 2006-03-23 has been released
    iPod Updater 2006-03-23 includes iPod Software 1.1.1 for the new iPod and new iPod Software 1.1.1 for iPod nano.
    iPod Updater 2006-03-23 contains the same software versions as iPod Updater 2006-01-10 for all other iPod models.
    What's new in iPod Updater 2006-03-23:
    - Volume limit
    - Bug fixes
    I have been trying to ascertain from Apple Support Level 2 as to whether the latest iPod firmware improves or provides better resolution for the chkdsk issue. If anyone has been using iPod Updater 2006-03-23 to resolve their chkdsk woes, feel free to post in here just to say how things worked out for you...

  • I dont know where to begin, what is a sliding window?

    The problem is to create a "smooth" image/"oil painting" image for a given image. You must create a GUI interface that include a menu which uses a JFileChooser to load/save an image file (a plain PGM file). The menu also include an exit menu item. The GUI should also include two radio buttons for smoothing/oil painting, and another group of radio buttons for choosing a sorting method. This group of buttons should have no effect if the smooth button is chosen. A text field should be included to enter the size of the sliding window. The GUI should also include a JScrollPane to display the log of processing time. My GUI looks like the following:
    In addition to your source code, you should also turn in a short report listing the experiments you perform and the processing times. You should run your code with different methods (4 methods) and window sizes ranging from (1 x 1) to (50 x 50). In your report, answer the following questions: Which one of the four methods gives the best running time for the (3 x 3) window? Which is the best for the (5 x 5) window? Which is the best for the (10 x 10) window? Which is the best for the (20 x 20) window? Which is the best for the (50 x 50) window? What is the maximal window size for which the processed image is still recognizable for the human eye?
    Here is how to proceed. Begin with the underlying classes. Develop each one with a main method for testing. As you finish one, move on to the next.
    1. Create a ImageProcess class that extends JFrame and includes all necessary GUI components.
    2. Create a SlidingWindow class that takes an image Array and an strategy object that implements Measurer :
    interface Measurer{
    int measure(Object m); //returns the measure of the object
    The class include a getNewGrayScale method that takes a pixel position of the new image and returns an integer value of the gray scale for that pixel, a setWindowSize method, and a setSortingMethod method.
    3. Two strategy classes ByAvg and ByMedian implements Measurer, one for calculating the average and one for finding the median of an array of integers. ByMedian class should include three sorting methods that implement sorting algorithms: quicksort, counting sort and insertion sort. Note: You may use the implementations of quicksort and insertion sort from your text book, but you must implement your own counting sort!
    4. The pgm (portable gray map) image format requires 4 entries followed by the greyscale values (some files include comments lines starting with the character #). The four entries are: the literal "P2", an integer representing the x dimension, an integer representing the y dimension, and an integer representing the maximum greyscale value. There should be x times y number of grey-level values after these 4 numbers. Part of a sample plain pgm image bug1.pgm is shown below. You may download a Java file to view the image. Caution: my code works very slowly for displaying large image files b/c it paints every pixel as a square. You get bonus points if you can solve the problem.
    P2
    # Created by IrfanView
    40 42
    255
    192 192 192 192 192 192 192 192 192 192 192 192 192 192 192 192 192
    192 192 192 192 192 192 192 192 192 192 197 197 197 191 192 192
    5. The processing procedure works as follows. For each pixel of an image, the procedure considers an (n x n) window centered on that pixel, computes the mean/median of gray-level values in the window, and the mean/median becomes the new gray-level value of the new image. The median is defined as the middle value in a sorted sequence. For example, consider the following (3 x 3) window of pixels: 11 90 74 71 14 92 20 87 68. The sorted sequence of these pixels is <11, 14, 20, 68, 71, 74, 87, 90, 92>, and the middle of the sequence is 71, which is the median of the window. The median of the sequence <1,4,7,9> is (4+7)/2=5. The result of replacing all pixels with average values is a smoothed image. Using median values producing the oil painting effect. On the negative side, the new image is blurrier than the original. Corners and edges of the image need to be handled differently. For this project, for the boundary cases, the sliding window will be resized and include only the image pixels within the window.
    6. Display the image. Your image should be resizable, but the height and width ratio should remain fixed, i.e draw each pixel as a square. Extra credit: if you figure out how to directly display image of pgm format in Java.
    7. Programs to convert a file to pgm format: IrfanView, ImageMagick.
    Be sure to document every class and method (including the class supplied for you). Include a printed UML diagram for this project. Don't forget to check the documentation standards and include the signed cover sheet with your printed submission.
