No Wireless Volume Support - Win7 x64 - X-Fi Notebook

Today, I installed my Sound Blaster X-Fi Notebook onto my Sony VAIO VPC-F2FX/B running Win7 Home Premium x64, and connected to my Gigaworks T20W wireless 2.0 speakers.
I have no ability to volume control while running wireless but through iTunes or by directly adjusting from the speakers themselves (which kind of negates the benefit of being wireless, right?). I cannot adjust the volume using dedicated media keys, my speaker icon in the system tray, PowerDVD, or Creative Console Launcher. All of these programs show volume is ajusting when the dedicated volume keys are pressed, but the output does is unaffected.
I'm only able to adjust volume normally while the speakers are connected by cable to the audio out jack on the X-Fi Notebook card. Again, this completely defeats the purpose of $00 wireless speakers and $90 wireless sound card.
When will Creative provide proper product support for a Win7, a well established operating system that's been out for more than a year?
Why am I wireless if I cannot use it the way it was intended?
Looking forward to a solution or better drivers to launch very soon.

It's remarkable that even after releasing a Win7 driver this month that Creative Labs is STILL incapable of getting this product supported.
Wireless music volume control still does not work through Win7 volume control.
Useless product.

WOW Wireless headset in WIN7 x64

Installed the driver package in both Vista x32 & Win7 x64. The Audio Control Panel works flawlessly in Vista but not in Win7. The volume control buttons on the headset does not work and neither does the Illumination feature of the Audio Control Panel in Win7, I can't seem to change the colors.. Any help is appreciated.

Hello Flashmanrpr,
Welcome to Creative forums!
Have you tried installing the latest available driver from the support site? If not, get it here. See if that helps.

What display driver version do you have?
Try this: Go to the ATI web site (really, it's the AMD web site), and locate and download/install the latest Catalyst package for your hardware and OS (if memory serves, it's 12.3).

Terrible noise if no audio signal active (Win7 x64)

Hi all
since few weeks I get a terrible noise (f~10kHz) out of the electronic of my T500. It is not coming out of the speaker. Working on the notebook produces terrible headache.
Now I found out, that it is coming somehow from soundcard.
When I start any audio program, say VLC or Winamp and play any audio file with "zero volume", the noise disappear.
Even some sound events from windows, like mousehover, stops the noise for the duration of audio output.
I'm using Win7 x64.
Has anybody the same issue?
Any ideas?

It's remarkable that even after releasing a Win7 driver this month that Creative Labs is STILL incapable of getting this product supported.
Wireless music volume control still does not work through Win7 volume control.
Useless product.

Z87-G45 Gaming not able to install Win7 x64 with Samsung 840 EVO

I have a brand new:
i5 4570
MSI Z87-G45 Gaming
250GB Samsung 840 EVO
1x 8GB Corsair ValueRam DDR3 1600
I got everything hooked up properly, but I am not able to install Win7 x64 through an USB pen drive (Kingston Datatravel 32GB USB3) I have a proper official and Legit MSDN ISO, formatted by the Win7 USB tool from MS itself.
Note that i do not have an optical device (DVD) installed so I cannot use it 'the old way'.
Bios settings are okay, everything is recognized
USB Legacy - Kingston Datatraveler
HDD Legacy - Samsung 840 EVO
Win7 setup loads properly; but before I can select the Harddrive / SSD to install Win7 on I get prompted that additional (3rd party) drivers are needed to proceed. The volume is not recognized. This happens 9 out of 10 times. In the 10% cases I do get the option to format the SSD and/or create partitions. However, installation fails after all, cannot load or find file ...
What I've tried so far:
Switch out the SATA cables and power cables
Switch through the various SATA ports on the MB 1 through 6
Tried UEFI and UEFI/Legacy (UEFI doesn't seem to work at all)
Update UEFI to V 1.50
All the above result in the case mentioned.
I have succesfully installed the SSD in an other PC, using the same pen drive and ISO and it worked like a charme, thus ruling out that the SSD, pen drive or image is corrupt.
Even when I switched out the SSD after Win7 setup has succesfully copied, unpacked and installed all the files (doing this on the other machine where it works like a charm). Then switching it to the MSI Z87...it fails; starting the setup procedure right from the start, like nothing was ever written on the SSD...
Finally i turned to Win8, and guess what, it installed without any glitches on the MSI Z87
What am I missing here, I would really want to install Win7 instead of Win8
Forgot to enable / disable something in the UEFI? I really don't know, google doesn't give much information on this specific problem (SSD is recognized properly by the BIOS / UEFI as far as I can tell)
The only thing I have not tried out so far is updating the Samsung SSD firmware to the 1.0 version which has been release 3 days ago...
Any clues, tips, hunches??

Quote from: Bernhard on 25-October-13, 18:33:41
Did you disable Secure Boot in the BIOS? If not, then Win7 won't load.
Hmmm not sure, thanks for the reply, will have to look into that later today!
I didn't change it from the default setting I think, unless it is part of the Win8 features in the UEFI. All where disabled by default, and I kept them disabled.
Where is Secure Boot listed in the UEFI, and any idea wether it is enabled by default?

Found it in some screenshots, I cannot recall from the top of my head wether it was enabled or disabled, allthough my gutt feeling says it already is disabled.

ITunes (Win7 x64) is no longer opening after the latest version update

iTunes (Win7 x64) is no longer opening after the latest version update - I have attempted an un/reinstall - can anyone offer other suggestions?
I am running Windows 7 64-bit, and am trying to reinstall the 64-bit iTunes from the iTunes website. I previously have had this working for the last few years with no major issues, the Apple Software Updater has been pestering me for some time so I finally got it to update. However now iTunes will not start, if I select the icons nothing happens. There are no iTunes applications running in the background in Task Manager either.
I look forward to your suggestions.
Thanks,
James.

1. First check if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
Close your iTunes.
Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
Now open itunes and see if it is working?
If that works, to prevent having to do the same process everytime you restart Windows, go to. START button, type in
MSCONFIG
Hit ENTER
Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
Restart Windows.
2. If that fails, refer to following article to remove SC Files
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2363
3. If that fails, repair or reinstall your Quicktime. START / CONTROL PANEL / PROGRAMS N FEATURES / hightlight QUICKTIME and click REAPIR.

Win7 x64 Installation on late 2007 MBP+Mountain Lion

Dear All,
As a long time mac and bootcamp user, I've never expected to face this problem but I've been trying to do this for 3 days.
I'm having trouble installing bootcamp (win7 x64 ultimate) into my late 2007 MBP (2.4GHZ core 2 duo)
Pretty much use the bootcamp assistant from start to finish, tried using install dvd and create boot-able USB stick (by changing the plist.info on the bootcamp assistant package, as my MBP isn't supported.)
With USB stick created by bootcamp assistant, my mbp just simply won't read it even during startup and rEFit startup.
Sometimes it goes into the blank state and says no bootable device.
With win7 install DVD, whenever I use built in superdrive, it got ejected after 2-3 mins,
When I tried using Samsung external dvd burner/player, in place of who-knows dead superdrive, it went into blank screen with only a dash blinking (just like when the first time you start a PC) then disc stop spinning after awhile.
Burned few copy DVDs from extracted ISO (from the orginial install disc) and came up with same results
Recent changes, current condition,etc:
- Changed the stock 160gb harddrive into WD500GB blue scorpio.
- Installed fresh OSX Mountain Lion downloaded from App Store (was Lion) and updated everything.
- Had the very same win7 on bootcamp 3 installed on snow leopard few years ago and keeping it even with Lion (the exact same dvd!)
- Superdrive cannot be used to write but can read normally (install DVD shows up normally in OSX environment.)
- With USB created by bootcamp assistant, rEFit shows "legacy booting" and can't find files inside the USB
- Installation is working flawlessly on my 2011 iMac.
- Can still boot into bootcamp on old internal stock hdd (using external case)
- DVDs burned are Verbatim DVD-R and Sony DVD-R, both are top brands.
- Burner I tried to burn them are 2011 iMac's, 2012 MBP's, Samsung external dvd burner (all fail to boot on my 2007 MBP)
- Tried the method to create usb stick on windows 7, still can't boot.
- Burned DVD using Nero and alcohol 120% on windows 7, still fail.
I wonder if you guys can help me, I'm a designer and I really need to install Corel Draw on bootcamp so I can work on some CDR files on my MBP. And other stuff such as office's finance control program that can only work under windows.
Thanks in advance!

Found a workaround, to sum it up, it's pretty much my dead internal superdrive (as for unbootable USB, that's still a mistery). What I did was moving the HDD to my 2012 MBP and install from there. The problem is now that since I installed it on another machine (with ofc all different hardwares) I got blue screen whenever I tried to start Windows7 (in 2007 MBP after moving the HDD back there).
Next step will be replacing the superdrive on 2007 MBP with 2012's. Or if someone got a suggestion like installing the drivers via target disk mode etc, please advice

T440p hotkey integration driver fail - win7 x64

Brand new T440p laptop out of the box.
Imaged with preconfigured company Windows 7 x64 image I have used hundreds of times before via MDT.
WDS packaged T440p drivers (downloaded from Lenovo website) are injected as part of the MDT installation process.
All windows updates applied (except for the Lenovo PM Device Driver otherwise the thing no longer reboots or shuts down properly anymore)
BIOS flashed to latest T440p revision.
Run Lenovo System Update to install hotkey drivers and receive the following:
As you can see Win7 x64... driver says no.
Restarted and tried again... error.
Tried downloading the driver manually from http://support.lenovo.com/ca/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-t-series-laptops/thinkpad-t44...
Same error.
Searched for and downloaded version 5.40
Same error.
I ran Lenovo System Update 2 days ago on another T440p laptop, may have been a slightly different internal spec... not sure but I'm farily sure the driver was named differently in System Update. The driver Installed on that machine fine and functions as intended.
The driver could very well could have been updated since then I guess.
I do also know this is a newer batch of T440p's as the box configuration that it ships in has changed and looks completely different.
What gives?
Moderator comment: Remark(s) contravening the Community Rules removed - profanity / implied profanity.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Just for giggles I decided to re-image the machine and see if it made a difference.
This time I ran System Update BEFORE any windows update.
Hotkey driver installed just fine.
Maybe there's some windows update incompatibility.
I'm not about to go testing all this stuff so if anyone from Lenovo actually reads these posts, it might be worth investigating...
*shrug*

Qosmio F60 and Win7 x64 Drivers

Hi, i just purchased a Qosmio F60:- PQF65A-016002 and did a clean install of windows 7 Pro x64.
But i am now unable to find any drivers for it. i have looked in the toshiba support but it brings up no drivers for my machine.
If someone could point me in the right direction that would be great.
Thanks
Alastair

Hello Alastair
Why you have done this stupid mistake as hundreds of other notebook owners?
It is logic to check support at first and be sure certain operating system is fully supported and then installed own OS. Isnt it?
Qosmio F60 is newest notebook and even not available worldwide so you must be careful with support for it. The drivers will be offered soon or later but it can take some time.
What to do now?
Either go back to factory settings or try to use some drivers for other Qosmio models with similar hardware configuration. Try with X500. It is definitely supported for Win7 x64. Maybe Toshiba tools and utilities can be installed on your F60.
Play a little bit with it. Nothing can goes wrong now.

Win7 x64 booting natively via EFI (no bios emulation)?

Hi, has anyone got Win7 x64 booting natively via EFI without bios emulation or know of any resources elsewhere that discuss this? I understand it would have to be on an independent GUID partitioned HD... so not using bootcamp... ruling out all but Mac Pro's I suppose.
Any insights would be helpful.

Thanks... there are three kinds of Windows installs possible...
1. Using Bootcamp
2. Not using Bootcamp but still relying on BIOS emulation
3. Not using Bootcamp and not relying on BIOS emulation
The last one can only be accomplished with Win7 x64 or Vista SP1 x64 as they are apparently able to boot natively with EFI... no bios emulation required. However, they will obviously work as well with bios emulation.
As far as I kno Jowie's technique is to address #2... a Win 7 install without Bootcamp... but with BIOS emulation.
All Jowie has to say about #3 is at the end of his blog link...
"+Now I just need to verify if Vista SP1 is able to install on a GPT disk, as I'm still getting the error "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style." Looking at the following page leads me to believe that I should be able to:+
+Notable Changes in Windows Vista Service Pack 1+
+Adds support for new UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) industry standard PC firmware for 64-bit systems with functional parity with legacy BIOS firmware, which allows Windows Vista SP1 to install to GPT format disks, boot and resume from hibernate using UEFI firmware.+
+At this point I'm able to delete and create partitions, but I am still getting that error. I'll have to dig into it further, but at this point I was happy to post about the resolution to the ability to boot from the DVD.+ "
I'm interested in finding out any resources or folks that have done #3.
BTW, I didn't mean to screw up your other thread, but there was nothing to indicate otherwise. It came up in a google search. You might want to make the title and/or first post clear about that.

[s205] How to install Win7 x64 from scratch on a new hdd?

Hello,
I have a little problem to solve...
I own a s205. My hard drive died. I replaced it with a new one. After that I tried to install Win7 x64. During the install it created 2 small partitions. It was strange to me, I saw it for the first time. Later I read that this is because of UEFI.
Anyway, everything installed good, but after installing drivers I encountered few problems. Neither of net card were working. I started to look for some informations and I know that the problem is UEFI.
My question - can anyone write a guide how to install Win7 x64 on s205 in Legacy mode, so everything would work like before? Unfortunately I don't have any rescue dvds or any other source of Lenovos images.
Regards,
Daniel

hi bean.
did you install the drivers without any issue?
( installed power management and activates the wireless? )

Access Connections / WLAN / Win7 x64 / 5300 AGN / connection loss

Hi there,
I'm experiencing some Problems with Access Connections. Most of the time I'm using my T500 with a dockin station and a wired network. No problems so far. But when i undock it and start using WLAN its only a matter of time until it looses Connection. Something about 5mins. Access Connections states its connected and the signal strength is perfect, but the small Network manager Icon from Windows says its not. And in fact, i can't ping the access point or my gateway. ipconfig shows the correct ip configuration, but there is no connection any more (access connection still claims to have a perfect connection).
When I disconnect via Access Connections and try to reconnect it fails. Not completely but obtaining a new IP from the DHCP-Server fails. So my Nic is configureg with 169.x..x.x (aka crap)
Restarting AcPrfMgrSvc and AcSvc did the trick for about 5min, then I had the same problem again.
Looks like Access Connections and Windows aren't "best friends".
The 5min problem seems to be caused by some power saving function, but I don't want to disable them.
Win7 x64 is a fresh installation ( btw. to get all the needed drivers is a nightmare!)
Anybody knows this problem? Any fix from lenovo?
Would be nice!
Kind regards

Yes basically you have to disallow Windows to turn off the device automatically.
Because Access Connection doesn't replace Network and sharing center but works in addition with it, there is some settings have to be modified in windows.
If not allowing windows to turn off the device is not enough to solve your problem, you can gon in access connections>tools>global settings and untick allow the wireless LAN radio to be turned off when inactive.
With your comparision with an hybrid car, if your not allowed to switch to save fuel and you can't fix it you have to choices don't use it or use fuel.

Wrong 5.1 speaker mapping with X-fi on Win7 x64

/Wrong 5. speaker mapping with X-fi on Win7 x64?Hi,
I got the X-fi Platinum connected to my Onkyo SR605 receiver. Digital (spdif) connection works fine, but the analogue 5. setup not.
When I test the speakers in the Console, I only get sound from the front speakers (LF, C, RF), and no sound from the 2 back speakers (LR, RR). (I got no sub connected).
However, when I select 7. speaker setup instead of 5. in the console, the left and right side speakers which are added give sound when click the icon for testing. Now this sound comes from the back speakers (LR, RR)!
I want this sound coming from the rear speakers with the 5. setup selected, and not with 7..
It looks like somehow the software is outputting the wrong channels...
All cables are connected the right way, and I don't want to change the speaker connections on my receiver (which supports 7.). That would mess up the spdif DTS bitstream out, which is working fine. The problem is in the x-fi configuration.
Is it somehow possible to "re-map" the speakers in the software, so that I can just setup the x-fi as 5. WITH sound from my rear speakers?
I got the latest Creative drivers installed, on a Windows 7 x64 system.

When setting up the speakers in Media Center, here's all it asks, step by step:
Select number of speakers (radio button choice of 2 speakers, 5. speakers [which I have selected], and 7. speakers)
Hit next
What type of cable connects PC to speakers/receiver? Single mini-plug [analog](which is what I have selected, since I'm connected through a green, black, and orange miniplug [6 channel direct]), dual RCA [analog], single RCA [digital], Toslink [digital], or Built-in [laptop]
Hit next
Audio test. It plays 6 tones, they're supposed to hop from speaker to speaker and finally to subwoofer. Only the front center, front left, and rear right play any kind of sound during the Media Center Audio Test. Front Right and Rear Left get nothing at all.
Ok, I tried messing with other settings. I noticed in the THX setup console, I have it plugged in exactly as illustrated (orange plug in port closest to AD_LINK, black in the middle, green on the end), and had it plugged in the same way on my Z-5500 receiver (color coded). I unplugged every speaker except the Center speaker, and I clicked the center speaker in the illustration, and didn't get a sound. When I clicked Front left, the Front Left voice came out of the center speaker, being the only speaker that's plugged in.
What do I have to do to make it designate the correct speakers to the correct locatons?
Is there some kind of codec I'm supposed to be using in order for 5. to work correctly? Because at the moment I only have the center speaker plugged in to the subwoofer's center speaker connector, and the orange minijack from the orange receiver port to the correct port on the X-Fi as illustrated in the THX Setup Console, and it's only playing Front Left's sound. Is there a codec I'm supposed to be using, and if so, where do I get it'sMessage Edited by Guanthwei on 0-29-2006 02:3 PM

Where to download driver for the SD BT2 Bluetooth adapter for Win7 x64?

Hello,
where can I download drivers for the SD BT2 Bluetooth adapter for Win7 x64?
Thank you.

I agree with bluecat.
BT SD card is not on the market for years now and this device is not supported anymore so I think you will not be able to find driver to get it work with Win7.

HP Pavilion - 15-p163nr WIN7 x64 pro can't find divers

Вчера приобрели сей замечательный ноутбук под ОС freedos установили на него WIN7 x64 pro и сталкнулись с проблемой установки драйверов т.к. на официальном сайте драйвера только под WIN8.1 и win 10 диска с драйверами в комплекте поставки тоже нет, а приобетать данные ОС нет ни средств ни желания. позвонив по телефону в тех. поддержку там предложили искать самим в сети (классная поддержка клиентов) либо второй вариант более подходящий для меня написать на форум и знающие люди помогут и скинут ссылки на все необходимые драйвера, а это сеть, звук, метеринская плата, вайфай, блютуз, и т.д. и т.п. то есть необходимы абсолютно все драйвера т.к. копм новый видна голая.
