System Specs

Well, It is the upgraded drivers that are marked 03-5-07
Thanks, above poster, however if it is something like updreg.exe, here's the info below.
The Vista drivers don't have the updreg.exe, apparently...
I have all the ones that start with CTxxx... starting up. Listed below
-CtHELPER Application - CTHELPER.EXE
-CTXfiHlp Application - CTXFIHLP.EXE
-CTXFIREG - CTxfiReg.exe
Anybody, PLEASE HELP ME!!! Also NEW to these drivers, just noticed. The SIDE Speakers don't work. I've tested the 3.5 cable and Speakers and they're fine. Also Creative 7800 7.!
Creative Labs, c'mon now give me a break. Can't you make your products just work?

Only two speakers working with Terratec Aureon 7.1 Universe soundcard!

When playing a CD only the two front speaker produce sound. However, with the test program from my soundcard all speakers seem to work.
I've set the advanced speaker setting in the "Sound and Audio Devices" (Control Panel) to "7.1 home theater speakers" and under the Audio tab I enabled 'Aureon Wave' as the default device for sound playback and recording.
Have I missed something?
Any suggestions are very much appreciated.

The Audigy will only put out 5..
You are free to select any setup in the Windows System, regardless of the actual audio Hardware installed.
However, you state here that your speakers are also 5.
If you only have 5 speakers and a subwoofer, then you are indeed limited to 5.
If you have already invested the money in a 7. system with 7 speakers and a subwoofer, then get any audigy 2 card (I just bought a ZS for $80). The speaker system was probably a lot more expensi've, and the rather cheap soundcard upgrade will let you use it.Message Edited by rstich on 06-5-2005 06:7 PM

Will any Creative MP3/Video Players Work With Vista Ultimate/Yahoo Music Out of the B

i've had a heck of a time getting my zen touch to work with my new vista ultimate dell pc, almost ready to give up. why i'm even thinking of getting another creative device given the above i'm not sure, but if i was, do any of the current devices (20gb or greater, mostly for music but want video capabilities) work with vista and yahoo music correctly and without a huge amount of heartache? and if not, any other devices i should look at? i really like the yahoo music service so don't want to go the apple route. thx!

iTunes is only intended for iPods and iPhones. In recent releases, Apple has instituted changes that prevent it from being used with other devices, e.g. release 8.2.1 deliberately broke the ability to sync with the Palm Pre.
Since you will be using multiple platforms, make sure that all music that your rip or purchase is in MP3 format. Then your music can be used in iTunes, Creative, or any other player or program, without conversion or compatibility problems.
Per the problem with Zen and Vista, you may wish to try the question on a Zen discussion.

PC Used to work with XP and airport Extreme Basestation but not with Vista

Please help, my PC Used to work with XP and airport Extreme Basestation but not now with Vista. I have a MacBook Pro connected and also a Mac Pro connected to the network on it and they still work, i have put the latest software on the PC and the firmware is up to date. The only thing i can see on the network on the PC is the basestation Hard Disk (shared also to the Macs) but i cannot connect with the password, i have tried everything in my knowledge, including formatting the machine and reinsatlling OS and changing security setting to no avail. Any ideas anyone?

With regard to your printer problem - take a look at this discussion:

Time capsule only seems to work with my macbook pro, not vista. (wifi)

So I received my TC today and set it up. Everything is working perfectly except the new wifi network I created only works with my macbook pro, not my other laptop that has windows vista installed on it. It only works with vista when I take off the password from the network. When it's on, it says something about the settings being invalid for that particular computer. I think it has something to do with the WPA2 encryption.
Any suggestions?

Nobody?

Why is my airportxpr only working with Itunes and not with another music program

why is my airportxpr only working with Itunes and not with another music program??
I can not select/see other outputs in my sound selector.

You have not indicated which OS or which music program you have so I have listed a program called Airfoil to try for both Windows and Mac - it may work for you

I have a G4 with OSX 10.2 and my printer died. New printers only seem to work with 10.4.11 and newer - can I upgrade my G4 enough to use a new printer?

Aha!
Well in outer Mongolia ASAP means something totally different and involves weaving tent fabric from camel hair so that has taken me a bit of time.... However if you have the patience of a saint and the compassion of Mother Theresas' more helpful sister then....
So it would appear I have the following supersonics:
OSX 10.2.1
60 Gb HD
G4 dual processor 1GHz
Now the critical issue here is that I get the computer up to speed enough to be compatible with a modern photo printer - which I think needs to be 10.4.11 or even 10.5
Any assistance would be most gratefully and humbly recieved.

My apologies about not explaining further about disabling SPDIF passthrough. See the steps below to enable DDL encoding.
***Before proceeding please make sure that you've purchased, installed and activated the DDL pack***
. Open Creative Audio Console, go to the Decoder tab to disable driver level encoding and enable SPDIF passthrough (this is done by selecting SPDIF passthrough or any similar option that enable the use of an external decoder) instead of using the built-in decoders.
2. Open up your playback devices window (right click on the speaker icon on the taskbar and select playback devices) and set analog speakers (not SPDIF) as your default device. This is VERY IMPORTANT step, or else you get the "the device is busy" error when enbaling DDL encoding.
3. In the Audio Console, select the Encoder tab and enable DLL encoding.
Note:
When DDL encoding is enabled, it makes exclusi've use of your SPDIF connection so, no passthrough is possible. The default output format when using DDL encoding is 48KHz/6 bits. If you make use of any AC3 audio filters (such as ac3filter/others included in codec packs/media player softwares) when DLL encoding is enabled, then please change their output device to analog speakers instead of SPDIF.
To use back SPDIF passthrough (when playing back media with a pre-encoded audio source), open up Audio Console and disable DDL encoding and in the Playback Devices window change the default device to SPDIF. If you make use of any AC3 audio filters (such as ac3filter/others included in codec packs/media player softwares) then please change their output device back to SPDIF. You may also wish to change back your output format to 92KHz/24 bits (right click on SPDIF and select properties -> Advanced tab).

I have a toshiba lap top computer with vista and I can not get my iphone to connect all the way .. it says "connected with limited activity"?

I have a toshiba lap top computer with vista and I can not get my new iphone to connect all the way .... it says "connected with limited activity". which means I don't get on. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi all,
Guess I understand what is going on as I'm also experiencing the problem.
Basically the issue is about the iPhone 4's personal hotspot.
I'm trying to hook on personal hotspot to my toshiba laptop but it couldnt work as the connection is limited to local only without Internet access.
The hotspot works well on other laptop and I-devices, but not my toshiba...
Hope to get assistance here. Thanks

Making the WMB54G work with Vista (Service Pack 1) - it does work.

I posted this in response to a thread, thought it could use its own topic.
There is hope and potential success for Vista users!   I got the WMB54G 2 days ago. I spent 6 hours with it and nearly threw the product AND my computer out the window the first night. I scoured this forum for the past two days, and by putting pieces together from various threads, I'm now using the Music Bridge successfully with my 1 month old Dell XPS M1530 with Vista Home Ultimate with Service pack 1.  Once I had my gameplan, it worked perfectly the first time I tried the new approach. I will try to write a step by step process of what I did in the next few days but for now.....
1. Throw out the installation CD that comes with the music bridge (its useless for Vista).... I'm kidding, but you get the point.
2. You HAVE to dowload the Vista compatible installation utility and Firmware upgrade from the Linksys forum - I don't have the link right now, but its here in this forum.
3. Run the Vista driver setup to install the Musicbridge utility - the "Install utility" link at the bottom of the setup screen, but DO NOT try to configure the router since you'll just have to do it again later.
4. Run the firmware upgrade for the router (it behaves exactly like the setup utility, but instead of configuring the hardware for use, it upgrades the fimware)
5. Run the Vista driver setup to configure the router (only after the firmware upgrade).   I didn't have to do anything outside of the auto setup. i'm using a Linksys wireless G router as well, and it connected with 64 Bit WEP encryption no problem once i entered my encryption passphrase.
6. Open up MSCONFIG and disable the CMFLYWAVE Application on Startup
7. In your Program Files directory, find \Linksys\wmb54g\wmb54g.exe, \Linksys\wmb54g\driver\cmas2ds.exe, and \Linksys\wmb54g\driver\cmflywav.exe - For all three files, right click and go to Properties\compatability.   Check the "Run this program in compatability mode for:"   pick XP with SP 2.
THANK YOU SO MUCH TO THE PEOPLE WHO POSTED THAT LAST BIT!!!!
8. I'd suggest restarting the computer now.
9. You might get a "WMB54G.exe has stopped running error" on restart... that's ok
10. Start the following files in this order:
cmas2ds.exe
cmflywav.exe
wmb54g.exe
11. The utility should start, and then you can connect to the bridge via the system tray icon. - you might have to also set the default audio device to the Music Bridge by right clicking your system tray speaker icon
12. Uncheck the "Start the Music Bridge when I start Windows" option in the utility screen - and execute the three files in step 10 each time you restart.
I hope this works for you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I finally got my WMB54G to work with Vista SR1. It took me 4 hours of struggling to figure it out though.
What I did was:
1. Download the latest utility and firmware from the linksys support site.
2. To set up the device, preferably use http://192.168.1.210. There are http setup instructions on the linksys customer service site. Alternately, you can use the setup wizard on the CD but I would recommend avoiding it if you can. If you do use the setup CD and it installs the WMB54G utility, promptly uninstall the utility afterwords and restart the computer.
3. Update the firmware to v.2.18 by using http://192.168.1.210 and going to the HELP tab
4. Install the latest utility from the support site but do not run the main setup. Simply run setup.exe in the utility folder AND GIVE IT PLENTY OF TIME. Walk Away and let the installer finish and close. Then do the thing people discovered -- edit the properties of C:\Program Files\Linksys\WMB54G.exe and make sure it is set for running in XP compatability mode.
5. Restart the computer
Mine started working fine after I did all of this -- the WMB54G came up automatically and found the device. Keep in mind I do not have WEP or anything -- just unsecured wireless.
Good luck.
Mike

Audigy 2 ZS Platunum Pro (working with vista x64 beta

Just posting to let all you people know the Audigy 2 ZS does actualy work with vista beta 2 64bit the drivers them self do not work nor do any of the others but if you play around with them for a few hours (not using this work around which sucks) you can get them to work.
All I used was the drivers for XP 64bit and the Beta drivers with the XP drivers in first then uninstalled then put the new drivers in after.
Problem is for now they only work in stereo, though the breakout box does work with the voilume and such.
So dont give up sound will come from your audigy 2 zs just not very easly :P
EDIT: Well it seems that most people know this now, anyone got a sound way to get 5. working?Message Edited by Cafuddled on 06--2006 :2 AM

I would like to add my two cents to this. I had an RM-500 which stopped working after a while. My MCE IR receiver seemed to pick up an infra-red signal from the thing but the dri've bay didn't respond.
I then tried an older RM-900 from an old Audigy installation and that worked perfectly with the dri've bay. So in my case, the RM-500 was dead ( the battery was ok ).

FaceTime no longer working with Yosemite and IOS 8.1

I have used FaceTime flawlessly for some time with no issue.
After I upgraded to Yosemite on my MacBookAir and IOS8.1 on 5S and iPad air, I've had a problem connecting.
When I get a call, all the devices ring (as they should) but it will not connect on the first device I pick up on. It says connecting
but all the other devices keep ringing and finally it says I have a missed call. The connection does not happen. If I turn off
all devices except one, it will work...... do we have a bug here??

Thank you for responding to my issue. I spent the better part of two hours trying to get this to work. Bluetooth is enabled on all devices. Each computer is set in Preferences/General to allow Handoff. All computers and iPhones are on the same WiFi network. I toggled all of the major settings off and on. Rebooted each of my computers several times. I finally conceded defeat. Then my daughter asked to have a try at it. She worked on the first MBP for about thirty minutes and informed me that she had gotten continuity to work. And indeed, on her MBP late 2012 she is able to use the continuity features in both directions between her computer and her iPhone 6. But it only works with Mail and Safari. I asked how she accomplished this feat. She said she turned off "everything" on her computer and iPhone (WiFi, Bluetooth, "Allow handoff" under Preferences/General) and then rebooted both the iPhone and the computer. She then turned everything back on. This worked for her. So we tried the same thing on my MBP and iPhone 6. Now continuity works partially. Email activity is mirrored on both the MBP and the iPhone regardless of which device initiates the continuity activity. But Safari activity on the computer is mirrored on the iPhone but not in the opposite direction. There is no continuity function for Pages in either direction. The telephone connectivity works fine on all of my devices– 3 MBPs, Mac Pro, iPad Air, 2nd gen iPad and 3rd gen iPad.

Handoff not working with Yosemite and iOS 8

I have three Macbook Pros in my household. Two are mid 2012 models and the other a late 2012 model. Each is supposed to support the handoff feature of Yosemite and ios8. Everything seems to work properly between my daughter's late 2012 MBP and her iPhone 6. But on the other two MBPs in our family the continuity feature does not work on either of them. Receiving and sending calls works fine. But the continuity does not work even though all three MBPs and all three iPhone 6 are on the same wifi network.
I've tried all the suggestions that I could find. Toggling off and on the various settings on the MBPs and the iPhones.
