Popping and static problem

I am getting popping and static when any audio plays on my G4.
Here are the things that I have tried:
1) reset the NVRAM in Open Firmware
2) zeroed the HD an installed fresh OS
3) installed OS on second internal drive and booted from that drive
4) ran TechTool Pro tests and everything passed
The only other thing that I can think of (which I probably should have done earlier) is to disconnect and reconnect the cables on all of the drives. Any other suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Nathan

Tom,
Tried your suggestion with the speaker cable as well as the drive cables - no joy. I may have found the culprit. I unplugged the power chord for about 30 minutes or so before I opened up the unit. When I restarted, I got a message that the date was set to an earlier date or something to that effect. I read earlier today on Texas Mac Man's site that this indicates that the battery is bad.
Could this be the problem? Can I start up the computer with the battery out to check if this is causing the static?
Thanks,
Nathan

Dell Audigy 2 and Windows SP3 driver and static problems

SB0243
Ok, Creative you and Dell have left us customer behind and giving us the shaft.
I know you tell us to go to Dell to get drivers, and Dell still has the same driver posted they had when i bought my PC in 2003.
Funny thing is that the only driver i find that work without the static problem is the one from the creative CD from 2003. The only catch is that none of the other sound Apps will install or work with windows SP3. So you end up with a card that has sound without static but only in two speaker mode, no mixer, EAX, CSMM, sound bank, etc... you know all the other stuff.
I have installed Danial K driver at one time and they worked good for months then the static came back one day. Now after a fresh install of windows with SP3 i end up here with only the old driver working with just two speakers.
This is very sad that a big company like creative can not create a driver that works with current software. You need to fire all your programmer and go hire two with all the money you paid everyone else and maybe then these two top programmer might be able to make something that works. This has become a joke in the sound industry.
It was said that this ship is sinking, i think it has sunk at this point, us rats are jumping ship to some other card that works. Most likey it is not going to be from creative.

?Hey, I cant get CMSS to work here, im on windows 7 32bit, wich CMSS version are you using? I cannot open THX Console or EAX Console.

Mail 3.2, Gmail and iPhone POP and IMAP Problems

This is a Mail problem but I am pretty sure it has something to do with the iphone as well....
Here's the deal:
Up until a week ago I used this setup:
1. My gmail account has had pop and imap enabled for all mail and it kept the email on the server
2. My mail client on my MBP C2duo on Leopard 10.5.2 was setup to retrieve email from gmail using pop
3. My 1.1.1 iPhone was setup to retrieve email from gmail using pop as well
4. Gmail account was being also synchronised between MBP and iphone through the appropriate tab in itunes.
RESULT: mail would pop to both clients as new mail and I would have to mark it as read in each client. I like that cause there are certain messages I read on my MBP and some others on my iphone.
About a week ago I upgraded my iphone to 1.1.3 and that's when the problems started:
a) It appears that the iphone is now setup to gmail's IMAP by default. So I delete the account and create one manually to work as pop
1. So now I have an iphone setup to retrieve with pop.
2. My MAil client on the MBP is still set to pop
3. Gmail settings remain untouched
PROBLEM: Everything is setup as pop but acts as IMAP ?!!?!
Whichever client gets an email message first that message will not appear on the other client.
Basically if my iphone catches an emai while my MBP is asleep i'll never get it in my inbox on the MBP and vice versa
Please help me out... It's the first time an Apple product makes me feel like a good ol windows user again
FAILED SOLUTIONS:
1. I tried deleting the iphone account and creating it from scratch making sure it's setup correctly
2. I tried disabling IMAP from gmail's settings
3. I tried disabling and re-enabling pop from gmail's settings
4. I tried using gmail's recent mode that forces a download of all recent (30 days) mail
5. I have repaired permissions, rebooted etc etc
Nothing changed
I have now deleted the gmail account from the MBP, re-created it and await while it re-downloads al 6000 messages before I try re-creating the account on the iphone but sth tells me it wont change anything.
Sorry for the extreme length of this post. Any help would be appreciated

But I'm not using IMAP. I never used IMAP and I do not want to use IMAP. The reason being that I know all about the problems you speak of.
I just can't get POP working as it did before the 1.1.3 update. It's really frustrating

10.8 client and 10.6 server email pop and imap problem

Hi Guys ,
My problem is 10.8 client and 10.6 server.
10.6 server have email server running (pop and imap), when i configure same email account (pop) on 10.7 machine and 10.8 machines , 10.7 machine works , but 10.8 pop does not working
let me explaing further :
when i use 10.8 mail application to setup pop mail account it does not connecting . But i used the same account to connect imap it connect on 10.8 machine.
the same mail account connect to another 10.7 machine with POP and IMAP for testing reason , it works with out any issues
POP server is running and this email account's users profile enable POP and IMAP mail settings.
thanks in advance.

Try checking the Authentication Type for the POP account. It is located in Mail > Preferences > Accounts > selected account > Advanced
10.8 tends to use Apple Token. I think you will need to use a type of MD5 Challenge-Response or Password.

Popping and static during playback

When I am playing music through iTunes there is a static popping sound in the background. This occurs through speakers and headphones (brand new Bose) but does not happen when listening to the same songs on my iPod. As far as I can tell it is happening on my entire library. Any help or suggestions?
HP Windows XP

I found a nearly complete solution here:

It says to reduce the Quicktime Audio Tab setting from 24 bit to 16 bit.
It was easy and made a big difference (90% of prpoblem seems solved)

10.4.10 and Audio Update2007-001 popping and install problems ;(

Hello, i use my mac with a Presonus Firebox firewire audio interface. When i updated to 10.4.10 some of my audio programs started going "ChkChkChkChk" (dvd player, ableton live). Presonus said to install Audio Update 2007-001. When i try to install the audio update the installer says that my drive does not meet the requirements for this update.
Can anyone help me solve this problem?

this *****...
can i install a 10.4.7 upgrade to go back?
it doesnt sound kosher but im willing to give it a shot.

I upgraded to mavericks About a month ago, Every since I have had pops and static when playing anything through quicktime nd when playing sound cloud through Safari. I am using a presonus Firestudio interface. What can i do to correct this?

Hey all,
About a month ago I upgraded to mavericks on my 2009 imac. I am using a presonus firestudio interface. Every since quicktime will not play without massive static, It gets better when I change to 48,000 but still there. also safari will not play music or videos that use quicktime. How can i solve this or go back to mountain lion which worked flawlessly.

Mouse trails and static noise - video refresh problem?

I get mouse trails that don't refresh away and static noise when I click and drag.
In most apps that allow scrolling, like safari. I will get a small box on the screen that will create a trail of that small square all the way down my screen. It looks like a trail. Also if I click on a window and move it I get a static noise. The noise sounds like little crickets. Any ideas? I am thinking about spending money to upgrade this box and am worried I may be throwing money away.

Great news. Original owner upgraded the graphics card on this machine when he bought a new monitor. He had the original nvidia fx 5200 which I promptly installed, replacing the ATI Radeon 9600. Problem solved. I still hear the noise when I drag the windows around, not sure why but there are no more mouse trails. It was the graphics card!

Problem with access specifier and static???

I've a question. I saw a code written for Sun's Java Tutorial. The program had three class methods and all of them start like this:
static public void methodName1{
static public void methodName2{
and
static public void main(String[] args){
My question is why the keyword static was used first? Why not access specifier? I mean what's the reason behind it? Is there any difference between them?
Thanks in advance.
--DM

The order doesn't matter. The programmer thought it was a good idea for some reason. I might be tempted to do it if I had static and instance methods with the same name or something like that.
public static void myMethod() {
public void myMethod() {
or
static public void myMethod() {
public void myMethod() {

How I Fixed Audigy 2 ZS Popping, Stuttering, Static Noise Probl

I know many people have problems with popping, stuttering and static noise type problems, so I thought I'd share how I (eventually) sorted all my problems out...
I have an ABIT AN7 motherboard so these instructions may need to be customised for other makes/models, but the basic solution was to assign the sound card its very own IRQ in BIOS which is definitely not used/shared (should also work for other SoundBlaster cards)
Also, this involves changing BIOS settings, so don't try this if you're not confident (I take absolutely no responsibility for screw-ups!)
. Uninstall all SB drivers (preferably use Driver Cleaner Pro in Safe Mode)
2. Install/Move the Audigy 2 ZS into PCI slot 3 of the motherboard
3. In the BIOS, disable one of the Serial ports (BIOS > Intergrated Peripherals > Onboard Serial Port 3F8/IRQ4 > Set to DISABLE. This will free up IRQ 4 that was being used
4. Reassign the free IRQ 4 to the Audigy 2 ZS card (BIOS > PnP/PCI Configurations > PIRQ_0 Use IRQ No > Change from AUTO to 4)
5. Save Changes and Exit
6. Reinstall latest SB drivers
I know this will probably not help many people, but it sorted EVERYTHING out for me, so hopefully it'll help someone
Cheers, Mike

Cool. Hopefully someone will benifit from this .

Elitebook 2540p: Faint sound and static coming from speakers...Need Help!

I am having issues with my new 2540P. I can hear faint sound and static coming from my speakers as well as my headphones when I plug into the jack. I first started having this issue when I plugged additional speakers into the jack and USB while talking on Skype..
I am running Win7. I tried troubleshooting drivers and hardware, disabling and enabling, and a system restore going back one day...but no luck. When I disable the speakers, I stopped hearing even the faint sound. I also tried plugging and unplugging the jack 20 times.
Is it possible that this is a hardware failure (jack and/or sound card)?
Does anyone have other suggestions?

I am running XP and have same problem. Sound now gone after "pop". Customer services suggests hardware failure and send back to factory. Flashing BIOS and updating IDT audio driver will not fix the problem.
Possible speaker failure or audio chip failure.

RockCrab hit 7
your health is 24
you hit 1
RockCrabs health is 6
RockCrab hit 7
your health is 17
my point is whatever some one hits it always repeats that
my expected output would have to be something like
you hit 1
RockCrabs health is 9
RockCrab hit 9
your health is 37
you hit 3
RockCrabs health is 6
RockCrab hit 4
your health is 33
you hit 2
RockCrabs health is 4
RockCrab hit 7
your health is 26
you hit 3
RockCrabs health is 1
RockCrab hit 6
your health is 20

LG Ally text message and gps problems

hello. ive been with verizon for about 10 years maybe. ive been overall happy with the service and customer service. but the prices should be alot lower.lol. i started out with the motorolas then switched to the lg phones. only problem with the motorola was the speakers. not loud enough. could never hear the phone ring. the lgs usually suffer from the same problem.
i had a few phone problems but nothing like this lg ally. im on my second one and about to be my 3rd one in about 3 months. 1st phone i had every problem under the sun. this phone i am suffering from text message problems and gps problems. i suffer from what everyone else has problems with. the messages wont send. they will eventually lock up. it will show the envelope with the red explanation point ( i think thats the graphic). then usually everytime when i sent a text the texts will close. it will send then bounce back and show up as a draft and i have to resend it and wait for it to go thru. finally the last problem with the texts. when i send a text a phone number from my contacts shows up and freezes on the screen. its in white text with a black background. its the same number every time. it stays on the screen until i restart or pull my battery out.
gps. when i open up google gps that comes with the phone i make sure the gps is on... when the directions are found and the map pops up 9 out of 10 times it just keeps saying searching for gps. the turn by turn never is found. the 1 time it does it takes a good 10 minutes to be found. atleast on my first one ally the gps did work 8 out of 10 times. it just took a good 5-10 minutes for gps to be found and show turn by turn.
anyone else have these problems? where you able to fix them or did you need to get a new phone? the 2.1 update was supposed to fix problems. i think they just made it worse. the ally is supposed to have 2.2 froyo. where is it. is it ever going to get it. i got this phone because i like the lgs and the keyboard. also the sales representative on the phone was giving the lg ally rave reviews. why couldnt he say dont buy this go with a motorola droid. this phone is the biggest junk ever made

I do apologize you are having trouble with your device I looked in our information system on the LG Ally in reguards to issues you are having it states if you have the Free Droid Security anti virus protection application down loaded it will cause the phone to lock up or freeze. Check and make sure you do not have the application on your device. Check you GPS settings and make sure correct. Go to Settings; Location & Security; make sure GPS is on wireless network. If this does not fix issue you can try doing a Master Reset on your device. Make sure your contacts are saved in your G-mail account or through Back Up Assistance.
Master Reset/Soft Reset:
Factory Reset option 1

Flow and Static checks

Hi there,
I created a datamodel and have applied a condition to it. When I execute the interface the invalid records are captured in the E$ table but all the other valid records do not appear on the target table. I couldn't able to find the reason for this. I have applied flow and static check to the condition and the same for the table column. Im not sure why the validate records are rejected.
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers

HI!
Let me understand, do you want the invalid records at target table?
If you use the flow control it will keep the records at E$ and WILL NOT load it.
If you use static control, it will LOAD the data and, after that, verify what are the records with problems.
Don't use both controls at same time, it doesn't make logical sense unless when needs to validate distinct constraints at each moment.
Does it help you?
