Problem logging off windows 7 on AD domain - Sound Card issue New model iMac 2011

I am looking for help for a strange problem we have on our new 21.5inch iMac computers (mid-2011 model), Our whole IT team have worked for a week to find solutions and we have exhausted all of our ideas. Please note we have an identical setup on our old mid-2010 model iMacs, which experience NONE of the same problems, windows logon and log offs are quick and painless. We have conducted side by side identical tests, so this forces us to assume it is a hardware/driver issue.
Basically our iMacs have BootCamp installed with Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 is our default operating system. We have joined these computers to our Active Directory Domain and the users are all roaming with redirected folders.
The issue is the following: When a domain user logs off, it can take up to 25 minutes for the User Profile Session to finally log off and return to the normal Ctrl-Alt-Del menu, the next user who logs on usually is just left hanging and with no ability to logon. After a hard-restart the system logs on normally, but then can experience same problems at logoff.
We see the issue when the user watches lots of Flash Player videos on a browser such as Firefox and Chrome, although we've seen the same problem when other applications are used on the computer such as Windows Live Movie Maker.
So far we have found only one solution: If we disable the Cirrus Logic Audio Driver CS4206A (AB 9), and High Definition Audio Driver from the Sound, Video and Game Controllers within Device Manager and restart the computer, the system behaves normally, logon and log off times are a few seconds. But naturally we have no sound which is unacceptable.
We have tried everything we can think of including: Fresh installs of both OS, full updates of OS's, Firmware and Software, Manually updating sound drivers, changing users and AD Domains and attempts to force stop all services on logout etc.
We would appreciate any and all help to get to the bottom of this, including advice on what to try next.
Regards,
IT Project Manager

Just wanted to feedback on this and say our solution was the following:
Download and installed Universal Driver Pack within Win 7 , which included a AMD High Definition Audio Driver and replaced the High Definition Audio Driver Installed.
I have also informed Apple and Microsoft of this issue, hopefully someone will take some notice and update the driver.

RMI listener stops whenever the user logs off Windows

Hi guys...
I have a problem whereby the RMI listener stops whenever the user logs off Windows.
I've gone through the net and the only solution was to add "-Xrs" to the end of the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\IBM Tivoli Identity Manager Adapter" service for the ImagePath statement.
Unfortunately for me, that did not work.
Anybody knows how I can go around fixing this.
Much appreciated.

What's the RMI listener?
Do you mean the RMI Registry?
In which case the solution is to add that same flag when you run the registry.

X220 logs off windows when I shut down Chrome

Hi,
When I shut down the chrome browser, my x220 logs off windows. I'm still trying to pin-point the exact required conditions for the problem to happen, but I know it has to be running on the battery (never happens on the AC outlet).
Could this be a windows setting or some kind of configuration somewhere? I tried googling for it but nobody seems to have this issue regardless of the computer used.
Thanks!
Dave

hey gretzteam,
what you're describing is something unheard of. I would recommend checking with the Google forums if they have had any reported incident about this and at the same time; if your Chrome uses any add-ons .. kindly disable them and see if that helps.

My document will only print using wireless once I log off windows.

I recently purchased the HP officejet wireless 4500 printer. I am able to send documents to print, but then get an error message. They will only print once I log off windows. PLEASE HELP!

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
To a large extent, the difficultly can be related to the type of document you are trying to print -- and the application you are using to print that document.
PDF documents can be tricky -- sometimes, especially if you are trying to print these from the Internet, PDF files can be stupid-hard to print because the format is messed up.
You can take a look at the following - no garantees -- it might help you find something that will help nail down what is going wrong or maybe help you figure out a way to get what you need. For example, if all else fails, you can perhaps take a Snip of the document on the screen, save the Image, and print that. It is a sorry excuse for a workaround - but at least you end up with something on paper.

As of 3/30 when using the App for Facebook, when I log off of Facebook, it keeps me permanently logged into Facebook. If I use Safari to log into Facebook, I have no problem logging off. Is there a problem with the Facebook App??

As of 3/30/13, when logging off of Facebook using the Facebook App, it will not log me out. It is now permanently keeping me logged in. No problem logging off of Facebook when I do not use the App. Is there anyone that can tell me why this is happening and what I need to do to Logout of Facebook. I like using the App for Facebook but I also want to be able to log off, I do not like to stay logged in. Is there something different with the latest Apple software I downloaded a couple of weeks ago, IOS 6.1.3?

it also could be something different, if you try google hangounts. change password and log out it still recieves notifications. its how apples handles the "channel" notification system for apps that recieve notifications or do backroung sync, and im sure at some point that security hole will be a hijack point. i think its called XO auth. and is why it can maintain session even after an apperant logout
if you go to the app and it shows you have logged out but are still recieving notifications then that is evidence of the bug.
also look and find the option for "keep me logged in" i remember in the past that would allow a autologin after logout. also if the app does NOT save the logout status correctly in its "memory" the above refereced system will auto login you with the XO app authentication.
if there really is no keep me logged in option. then what crh24 said, they designed it delibertly to keep you logged in. though i never remember a problem on my ios 6,. are you on ios 7, bunny hop?

to which me can call from java code to log off my pc?

You should use a brute-force algorithm on the on/off switch on your pc. I suggest a rate of 30 hits per minute.

grc.com has a program (very small) that does it. The program is called "wizmo" and is written in Assembly.
If you are using Windows NT/2000/XP you can get a program in MS Windows Resource Kit called "shutdown.exe" but the program does only the shutdown job. You must manually turn the machine off.

Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
1. If you've recently plugged anything into the audio-out (headphone) port, plug and unplug it a couple of times.
2. From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Sound ▹ Output
Check the settings. The internal speakers should be selected as the output device, the Mute box should not be checked, and the volume slider should be at least halfway to the right.
3. Look inside the headphone port. If a red light is coming from the port, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a headphone mini-stereo jack of the proper size.Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
4. Boot in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime. It will take much longer than usual. You don't have to log in; just reboot as usual (without holding any keys) when the login screen appears. (Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.)
5. Reset the NVRAM.
6. Reset the SMC.
7. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data as a precaution. You won't need your backup unless something goes wrong.
8. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to bare metal from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

Can I install Windows XP SP1 with Bootcamp on my new Mac Mini 2011 i7 ?

Can I install Windows XP SP1 with Bootcamp on my new Mac Mini 2011 i7 ?

Baiscally if your Mini came with Lion Pre-installed new then No you can't use XP.
The Lion installed computers no longer support XP OR Vista via Apple's Boot Camp.
For one thing Apple only supported XP with SP2 in order to install it on pre Lion computers.
If the Mini had come pre-installed new with say 10.6 then you could have installed XP and still of been able to upgrade to Lion without any issues as you already have the drivers for XP installed. Lion only has the drivers for W7.

Automated Log Off - Windows 7/8

What is your goal here?
There are a couple of different ways to go about this.
One way is, If you set up a policy for the windows 7 boxes to force log off after the user's hours expire (not using the right words here yet) and then update their AD settings so their login times are not between midnight and 1am. That will force the user to be logged out.
Another way is to create a user startup script that will wait in the background until a certain time of day. Once that TOD is reached the vbscript will launch the shutdown.exe /l command. This way the shutdown command is only run when a user is logged in.
Thirdly, create a scheduled task to run the shutdown /l as the current logged in user at 11:59p.

Hi,
I'd like to be able to log all users out of their domain connected PCs every night around midnight.
I've tried creating a group policy to run shutdown.exe /l, however when the task runs it shows "The operation being requested was not performed because the user has not logged on to hte network".
Is there a easier way to log users that are a member of an Active Directory group off every night?
Thanks

Windows 7 64 bit Sound Card Problem

In January 2009, we had a 64 bit operating system problem http://forums.adobe.com/message/1015026#1015026. Our software, which was published using Version 6.5, was freezing on a customer’s computer on playing the first sound file, then if the sound file was by-passed, on displaying the first swf. The problem was eventually resolved by Mike Baker publishing our a6p file in Authorware 7, and this cured the fault. So we upgraded to Authorware 7.02 and since then no further problems ... until December 2010.
We launched our Italian Course late November and had a not dissimilar sort of problem reported by a customer. He's tried uninstalling & re-installing the software but the fault keeps re-occurring. The computer displays a "not responding" message. Debugging, we discovered that the message appears when trying to play the initial mp3 file (fixed bit rate) … the program does eventually continue but without playing the sound file. It then keeps hanging (there are thousands of sound files in our course), and none of the sound files play: text & pictures are displaying normally. Eventually the program freezes and has to be killed with ctrl+alt+delete.
The computer in question is a Dell Inspiron 580s, & the operating system Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. I’m awaiting details of the sound card & confirmation that his drivers are up-to-date but I presume they will be (Windows 7 default is to keep drivers updated). I haven’t got the customer to carry out basic tests sound file tests yet, but he indicates no problems with Media Player or with iTunes.
Extras in our XTRAS folder include:-
AWMP3.X32
MIX32.X32
MIXVIEW.X32
NETFILE.X32
SWADCMPR.X32
VIEWSVC.X32
INETURL.X32
FLASHASSET/FLASHAST.X32
The database for our Italian course is now in ProgramData. (previous courses, database was in Program Files and run in XP compatible mode). We’re having problems with this location with Windows 7 64 bit … it is maintaining a copy in Virtual Store and updating the file there. No such problem with XP, Vista or Windows 7 32 bit. I see this as an unrelated problem. We got the customer to run the software in XP mode but the problem was not corrected.
We do have customers successfully running our software on Windows 7 64 bit operating system computers; we had a minor ODBC glitch reported recently from a 64 bit user.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Tom,
I concur with Steve that this is probably system-specific. A couple of things you may want to try:
1. Be sure you're using the Xtras that came with Authorware 7.02 and not 6.5. For example, I believe mixview.x32 and viewsvc.x32 were updated in Authorware 7.
2. Try making a little AW program with 4 or 5 buttons that each trigger an imported MP3 file, where each audio file has different output settings (e.g. mono vs stereo, 64kbps vs. 92 kbps, etc.). Package it up and send it to the Dell user to test it. You may stumble upon an audio output setting that works on that particular machine.

Windows 7 drivers and sound card model

Hello! I lost my driver cd for my creative 5. sound card. Also I don't know my sound cards model too. First of all how can I learn my sound card model ? ( I install many driver finder softwares they write that my sound card is creative sound blaster audigy but there is no driver on this site : http://tr.creative.com/support/downloads/ )
Also I want to ask about windows 7 drivers. I could not find anything on this site about windows 7 dirvers. I want to update my windows xp on 7 but I don't know if creative supports old sound cards for windows 7.

that was mainly the reason why I still haven't switched to Windows 7. i'm still hearing lots of negati've feedbacks. still on XP. everything works fine.

Windows 7 upgrade (sound card issue)

My laptop's sound card makes a loud noise when I upgraded from Vista to 7. I installed the new sound card driver, it worked for a day and made that noise again. I installed it again and now I have to wait and see. Does anyone have any idea to why it's making a noise? My laptop model is Qosmio F55-502. I would appreciate any suggestions and advices.

| Creative's applications in Daniel's packs tend to integrate better than standard ones or "the Vista install CD", but you can use any driver you want AFTER the installation. That is what I used to do with my X-FI. I installed Daniel's and then upgraded the driver, and any other application that had been updated since his pack's creation.

Network,Sound,Video issues -NEW to solaris

Ok, i think before i ask my questions that i need to get something straight, i don't know a single thing about unix based systems, not one. Unfortunately i am (till i get this figured out) a windows server guy who is trying to get away from microsoft products, and i've never been on solaris or linux at all, so i don't know ANYTHING about commands, so if your explanation is a series of commands, please type them out for me clearly. Thanks in advance for understanding this.
Now, on to the problems...
Problem 1:
I have a Dell Latitude 110L Notebook with Solaris10 installed on it as part of a dual boot install i did. I cannot figure out how to create a connection to my router (for the internet) using my lan slot, i'd like to stay wireless, but since Solaris isn't made to accomodate laptops, i'm guessing that's out of the question. But either way, i still cannot connect using the lan port, and i cannot figure out how to do this with the network settings options.
Problem 2:
On this same laptop i get an error telling me that a sound device isn't found, i did some poking around and recieved another message telling me that AUDIOCTL wasn't found, then, after looking myself, noticed that it wasn't there.
Problem 3:
I have taken down my Server 2003 system and installed solaris on it to see if maybe it would work better on a desktop, like it was intended to be ;) , and everything went fine... till i tried logging in. The screen goes nuts, with lots of verticle distortion waves, but you can almost make out the desktop stuff. I think that i should mention that i'm using a Sony Trinitron 22" CRT monitor.
I would really like to use Solaris on my laptop, at least long enough to configure a website, so i can at least create a "Site under construction" page, that way when i'm ready to permanently replace Server2003 with Solaris my website members will know that the site will be back up soon enough, and that way i will already know the basics before taking my LIVE site down.... Like i just now did.
Any help is apreciated, and thanks in advance for your time.

Hello
1) The Latitude D410 uses a "bge" network card (I saw that in the Solaris HCL). I do not know if the 110L uses the same type of network card.
Try the following commands (as root):
ifconfig bge plumb
ifconfig bge0 plumb
ifconfig bge1 plumb
ifconfig bge5 plumb
If you only get error messages your card has not been detected or is not a bge network card.
You should do a "prtconf -v" (will print a lot of data about the devices in your system) and post this data to this forum (because it contains information about the network card). Maybe you'll have to patch the /etc/driver_aliases file.
2) The D410 uses a sound card that requires patching the /etc/driver_aliases file:
The HCL says:
Add this line to /etc/driver_aliases:
audio810 "pci8086,266e"
Then run this command to load the audio driver:
devfsadm -i audio810
Maybe another PCI ID is used in the 110L - the output "prtconf -v" will show this, too.
3) On your desktop: On the log-in screen you had a graphical log-in window or did you log in on a text screen?

Skype can't detect sound card, issue with playback...

Hello
I have just received my Razer kraken 7.1 headset and have installed razer synapse 2.0. I have set up my mic and speakers of the headset through the control panel, my playback is set as the razer kraken 7.1 earphone and the mic is set as the headset microphone through the recording tab. When I launch skype there is no sound produce through the application, however with previous headsets there has been, I have tried going on youtube to see if sound comes through the headset and it does. Previously I have been using a turtle beach z11 which used 3.5mm jacks in to the computer however this new headset is usb operated. When skype opens and I try to call someone it says problem with playback device meaning I can't call anyone at all. However when checking call quality it says everything is working fine even though it isn't.
So far I have tried re-installing skype and restarting my pc none of this has worked so far, I know this isn't likely a fault with the headset as it works with all other programmes I have tried.
I am using a custom built pc with
OS: WIN7 64 BIT Home Premium
GPU: AMD HD7950
CPU: i5-3550
RAM: 8gb 1333mhz
Motherboard: Asus p67 series
Sound card: Onboard 7.1 audio
Any help with my problems would be much appreciated.
-Thanks
George Snell

@gsnell, Please setup your audio device directly in Skype and not only in the windows playback/record interface.
Also, please try to quit synapse 2.0 since it may interfere with Skype.
Also please try with the latest 6.13 version
www.skype.com/en/download-skype/skype-for-windows/downloading/
if nothing helps, Can you please provide logs as described in this link https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12321/how-do-i-create-log-files under Skype for Windows Desktop and attach it to your post?
Thank you
