No sound when using ACM on Windows 7 (SB ZX)

I've got an odd problem that I'm having and I'm sure I'm just overlooking something simple. When I did a fresh install onto my Windows 7 x64 system, I had full sound using the Windows default drivers. The ACM was plugged into the MIC and Headset jacks on the rear of the card without any issues. As soon as rebooted after installing the latest drivers from the Creative website I lost all audio. Speaker tests failed, music tests failed, the creative diagnostics even indicated something was already using the audio and if I continued with the test there could be a problem. Despite trying everything I could think of, I could get no audio unless I unplugged the ACM. Audio is immediately restored after I do that. Am I just overlooking some setting that's tricking my card into thinking I have headsets plugged in because of the ACM? Thanks for any help in advance.

Actually I just figured this out today after receiving no help from customer service (i talked to 2 agents) and pretty much you need to update the drivers. for my laptop i have the nvidia. You just go to their website and there is this option there that will let you search for the current one you have on your laptop. It will also give you the driver for it to update. I updated it with the new driver and bam....i got text boxes!!

  • HP Envy 23 beatsaudio​, no sound when using web browsers, windows 8

    I have an Envy 23 Beatsaudio All-in-One PC, product number C1A69AV#ABA. My problem with the sound begins when I'm using Internet Explorer, firefox and google Chrome. I can listen sounds , music etc. but randomly I can hear a noise interruption (like a cut) and no more sound on my computer. Sometimes I close the web browser and the sounds come back. Most of the times I need to restart the computer in order to have sound again. It is very annoying and I think it needs a driver update. I have been dealing with this problem since day one. Please Help me Thanks.

    Gershom,
    Thanks for posting.

  • No sound when viewing movie in Windows browser

    Hi.
    I posted a video on my website and it plays fine when viewed on any Mac browser but plays without sound when viewed with IE after booting Windows XP under Boot Camp. The following message appears under Windows when the video is selected:
    "Additional software is required for QuickTime to play back this media. It may be available from the QuickTime Components page."
    I couldn't see anything on the Components page that seemed suitable.
    The video was taken with a DV-PAL camcorder, edited in iMovie HD and exported to QuickTime movie with Expert Settings using H.264 codec and MPEG 4 Low Delay AAC sound setting at 48 kHz (the only available rate option) and 160 kbps bit rate. As well as the original soundtrack (dialogue) the movie has an imported music soundtrack consisting of two files, one .mp4 format and one .m4a format. I assume it is these imported tracks that are causing the problem, since I have QT Pro on my Mac, but only the free QT on Windows. All the other movies I have posted only have a single soundtrack (either original camera soundtrack or imported music, not both), and all play fine on both Windows and Macs.
    My question: what do I need to do to make my movie play without problem on any platform, without additional software being required by the viewer?
    Thanks.

    I solved the problem by re-exporting my movie with IMA 4:1 format sound. This doesn't compress as much as MPEG 4 Low Delay AAC but at least IE8 can handle multi-track sound with it. IE8 can handle MPEG 4 Low Delay AAC encoded SINGLE-TRACK sound fine, just not (apparently) multi-track. So if your movie only uses the original video soundtrack, or if it only uses a music track (with a slideshow, for example), it'll work fine. But if you have both, for example fading dialogue and music in and out, you might want to check that it plays as expected in the Windows IE world. If your movie plays without sound in IE, try another sound format. I didn't experiment with all the iMovie sound export options as I struck lucky first time with IMA 4:1.
    I learned about and recommend the free program IE Tester (http://www.my-debugbar.com/wiki/IETester/HomePage) from another poster here. It allows you to test web pages with IE all the way back to version 5. If 80% of internet surfers use IE (as some claim), we Mac-users really need to test our sites using this browser. My problematic movie now works fine with all tested versions of IE.

  • No Sound when Using HDMI from ATT DVR to TV

    I have a 52xv645u TV.  When I connect it to my ATT UVerse DVR using HDMI I get picture but no sound.  Using Composite everything works fine.  I've tried several HDMI cables.  If I use HDMI to my Surround Sound amp, I get both picture and sound (even with the amp volume muted).  The problem seems to be the connection between the DVR and the TV.  Does this TV support HDSC?  I believe that the DVR requires it to support it on the TV.  
    I see that there is an upgrade for the firmware for this TV.  I have a Mac so the instructions don't work right.  I've downloaded the files to a flash drive but I am not sure if they are correct because there is no list of files available.  Does anyone know what files are needed so I can be sure that my flash drive has everything it needs?
    Any help with these problems would be appreciated!  
    Thanks,
    Mark 

    Is there a list of things that are fixed in the update?   I can get sound and picture through component but I fear that it's not the same quality as it would be through HDMI.  But again, it's only when I watch TV without going through my surround sound amp.  I can watch TV through my apm and watch my Bluray DVDs through the amp and it goes via HDMI.  

  • Color Settings: Getting colors in PS CC to match colors of the image when used as a Windows Background

    or vice versa. I probably do not know enough to be able to ask the question properly.
    The colors of photos in PS CC are not the same when used as a desktop background in Windows 7. The colors are somewhat more saturated when as a background on the desktop and while not totally unusable, it would be nice to have matching color between my PS editing screen and the photo as viewed as a desktop background.
    The following are some conditions that may or may not be relevant to the answer of my following question.
    1.) I am a complete novice to Color Management so a presumption of knowledge and the heavy use of jargon may not penetrate my head.
    2.) I shoot with sRGB embedded in my photos.
    3.) My RAW conversions use sRGB IEC61966 - 2.1.
    4.) My PS Color Settings are North American General Purpose 2 with sRGB IEC61966 - 2.1 as the working space and Intent as Relative Colormetric
    5.) In the Win 7 Control Panel>Color Management>Device, my Device = NEC LCD2690wuxi, ICC Profile = NEC LCD2690wuxi (default), file name = nl269wui.icm
    6.) In the Win 7 Control Panel>Color Management>Advanced, Device profile = System Default sRGB IEC61966 - 2.1 and (everything else set to System Defaults too). The only difference from the PS Color Settings being that Windows is defaulted to Perceptual Intent, but a change in either PS or Win 7 has no effect on the relative color differences.
    7.) The monitor is set to the Native internal preset, but the relative differences in color remain the same even if the monitor is changed to sRGB, or any other internal preset.
    8.) I have Proof Setup set to Monitor RGB but none of the settings will match the Win 7 Background color.
    Now, my question is this. How would you set up your color settings/profile in PS and/or Windows to match color between PS and the Windows desktop of Windows 7?

    Nevermind. I didn't have Proof Colors checked.

  • How do i change default sound when using AirPlay Display on Mavericks

    So i am using a TV with Apple TV attached as a second display for watching movies etc in the background
    Everytime i turn on the setting to enable to the display, it sets the Apple TV as my default sound and i have to go to settings to manually re-select my speakers attached to my iMac. Is there anyway to change this so it leaves the sound from my Mac as the default sound when enabling the screen.

    I looked into this a little more carefully.  It's not the Guest account.  It clearly indicates "Managed".
    Searching for more information, this is something related to Parental Control, but I can't seem to get this account to take on the characteristics of either an administrator or user role.

  • Fizzy and hissing sound when using earphone...

    I have a Macbook Pro 13 inches 2009. I use my earphone to listen music. However, when I don't play music, I can hear a fizzy and hissing sound from my earphone. I tried to use another one but there is still fizzy and hissing sound when no music is playing. I can hear that even clearer when my room is silent. I feel really annoyed about that sound.
    If anyone knows how to fix it, please let me know. Any helps are appreciating...
    Thanks.
    Vu Dinh
    P/S: I'm not sure if it's a software issue or hardware issue.

    The problem is when I dont play music, there is still fizzy and hissing sound on my earphone. Only when I play music, the music is louder than that sound so I just hear music in that time. However, when I dont play music, there is always fizzy sound on my earphone. I already said it always happens when I put my earphone jack on Macbook Pro.
    I want to know if there are any ways to fix that... It's really annoying. It's not silent at all even there is no music. Always a fizzy sound on my earphone.

  • How do you turn off sounds when using phone?

    I know this question is not appropriate for this forum but I cannot find where it should go. I want to turn off the sounds when I am using my phone, e.g., when I am texting, each time I press a key it make a sound. If I turn down the volume then I cannot hear it ring so this is not the answer.
    I have the Nokia 7020 phone. I cannot find any help in the userguide, only how to change ring tones. Anyone have any idea? Thank you.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    On my Lumia 900, it's under Settings -> ringtones+sounds, scroll to the bottom where there is a list of check boxes, and uncheck "Key press".  Not sure it's the same for your phone, though.
