Problem with surround so

Everything else works but surround sound (in AudioHQ) shows 3 speakers in front and none in back and the 2 speakers in front will play - no surround.
When the 4 speaker set up is on it is coming out of of both the front and rear plugs of the soundcard and on the speakers(sub-woofer).
Where is the config problem?
I'm running SBLi've! value on XP.

It's a shame. I walked blindly into the X-fi-vs-nForce chipset debacle so I had to return the X-Fi Fatality card as it will never work?with my motherboard, so the Surround 5. seemed an ideal solution to my optical/5. requirements. DOH! I should have read this first!!
Return the units guys, there's clearly a design fault. The last two products I bought from Creative haven't worked and I'm not about to waste time and money on a third. The last comment from Creative regarding this issue was 5 weeks ago and no-one's heard anything since.
I've worked in a similar industry and it wouldn't surprise me if Creative withdraw the product. This was a BIG?issue for Quality Control/Testing to miss and allow the product onto the shelves. If the problem was easy to fix there would have been new drivers by now.

Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 problems with surround

Hello,
I've problems connecting Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5. to my home theater Panasonic PT860 through?optic cable. All that I'm receiving is 2. sound.. BTW, OS is Windows 7. I've tried reinstalling OS, tried to change drivers and so on. Now I think that's is not possible to have 5. sound with my current configuration but maybe You can help me. Someone?
BR,

Hi.
You can only play stereo audio through optical output for uncompressed audio format. To be able to play more than stereo through optical, you need to be playing compressed audio (dolby/dts). You can read more about this in this thread. http://forums.creative.com/t5/Sound-Blaster/Digital-Connections-SPDIF-and-Dolby-Digital-Info/td-p/45857

FCS3- working blue-ray with surround sound ?

Hi, I'm trying to solve the problem with surround and Blue-ray.
*Could anyone confirm that FCS3 can output working Blue-Ray with 5.1 Surround Sound, please?*
The surround sound is really important for me, I am able to make Blue-ray now via Toast, but it converts the surround to stero). As soon someone confirms it works, I'm going to upgrade... Thanks!

The only things I noted when I made my first own test, was that even though my FCP7 timeline was set properly to output the 6 channels, when I went to compressor 3.5 to produce both the H264 and the AC3 (with 6 channels), after the Blu ray disk was burnt, the audio was not playing correctly.
I fixed the problem by going from FCP7 to Compressor using the new function called "send to compressor", instead of using a self contained QT movie (which is my usual workflow).
In this specific case I found that it solved my problem and my second attempt to produce the Blu ray disk was ok, the audio played as expected on my Dolby receiver.
Regards,
Armando.

Problem with Surr. Mi

Greetings. At me a problem with Surround Mixer. At me system 5. when next day I have included a computer, for me worked 2 speakers. I rewrote and anew wrote down drivers and Creative programs. But does not help. When I start Surround Mixer it to me writes a mistake " CtDevcon.dll has returned an error " what to do? 2 columns work only and subwoofer at all does not work. Help

You don't necessarily need the receipt to get a repair/replacement. I've just done it and all they asked for was the serial number and the date of purchase (I do have the receipt but it wasn't asked for).

Problem with 5.1 surround sound

I have a Pavilion p7-1414 with all of the standard hardware. I just got a set of Logitech Z506 speakers and the volume will randomly shift up and down. I have tried reconfiguring the speakers in the control panel and made sure the wires are held in place. I think it might be a problem with the sound card but i didn't notice it with m old speakers (Logitech Z-320).

Hey xnathanmeyerx,
Please select Line-In of Sound Blaster Omni Surround 5.1 as the default Input for the Mac computer. It can be configured at Sound under the Mac System Preferences. I hope this helps.

Problems with my 5.1 surround system

Hi everyone, for sometime now i've had some problems with my 5.1 speakers, the thing is when i watch youtube, vimeo or that kind of webs i only hear 2 of the five speakers and let me tell you, it sounds like crap...so i was wondering if any of you could help me fix this problem.
greets!

A Year Later... has this been fixed?
I have a SB Recon3D PCIe card (and older, lesser version of yours), and I have exactly the same problem. I'm on Windows 7 x64 and CS6. It is interesting that in Audition CS6, When I select the MME Device Class, that my channel mapping shows 6 channels, and when I play files back in Audition, I get full 5.1 surround. But, when I try the same thing in Pr, even taking the 5.1 file created and exported as WAV from Au into Pr, where I can see all 6 channels mapped correctly and the meter shows the correct volumes in each channel when played back in Pr, I hear only Stereo. Channel mapping in Pr shows the same thing yours does.
The bad part (or good, from my perspective) is, I was planning on buying the SB Z to hopefully FIX this problem thinking perhaps it was just a Recon3D problem. So I guess that's out. Can you get Audition CC to work correctly in Surround? Give it a try.
From my perspective, it appears to be a Premiere Pro issue, apparently from CS5 (when it went native 64 bit) that still haunts us all. HAS ANYBODY GOTTEN 5.1 TO WORK IN PREMIERE PRO?
Cheers,
Shane

Problems with soundblaster x-fi surround 5.1

, Hello,
I have problems with my 'soundblaster x-fi surround 5.'.
-the speakers make 'plop' sounds
-the software 'startup centre', 'configuration' etc. give this message (translated from Dutch): "There are no compatible audiodevices found. Please close the program."
I have this poblems using a 64bit Vista, and not on a 32bit Vista (other machine).
Thanks,
Ivar

Hi Enk,
unfortunately a lot of people have the same problem.
There is another thread for this topic:
http://forums.creative.com/creativel...scending&page=
but for now there is no solution.
The only way to get the product working with "realtime" sound is to install the Vista driver from 2006, but with that one you have only stereo sound and the creative applications will not detect the product.
As I understand it, the delay can only be a driver issue.

Problem With Screen Surround

Hi guys ,
My MacBook is a few years old now , however tonight have noticed that the surround is coming away from the glass . The screen has been replaced at an Apple Shop about a year ago now ...
Was wondering if others have experienced this , whether I can re-attach it myself ( is it just glued on ¿¿ ) or whether I need to book a GeniusBar appointment and get it repaired ...
Thanks for any help

You’ve run into the main problem with user forums. Since no one from Apple reads or posts to these forums except as users, you’ve got to hope that someone reads your post who has had the exact same problem as yours. And has found a solution for the problem.

New RAM problems with my Dual G4 1.25 MDD

Howdy I've had my Dual G4 1.25 MDD for 2 years and love it. I got it with 1GB RAM, thinking I was set. For Christmas I wanted to Upgrade the RAM to 2GB. from My PowerMac G4 Manual I knew I needed 2x 512MB PC2700 DDR333 CL2.5 SDRAM DIMM's.
I went to DealRam (part of DealMac) and found 18004memory.com The price seemed great $39 per stick. I ordered it and within a week got 2x 512MB DIMM's. Problem was it was the Wrong RAM spec. I tried that RAM in my Mac 30 different ways and Everytime the computer either wouldn't boot, or it would suffer Kernel Protection Faults. One time it did boot up but the RAM only recognized as 2x 256MB DIMM's. I called the company, got an RMA and returned the RAM, this time they sent me 2 replacement DIMM's.... for a POWERBOOK, SO-DIMM's. I returned it again and finally Got from them the
2x 512MB PC2700 DDR333 CL2.5 SDRAM DIMM's. They call it Hyperspeed RAM. Anywho, I powered down let the system cool over night and in the morning, popped it open, put the RAM in the 2 open slots DIMM2/J23 & DIMM3/J20. closed it back up and powered up. Everything was snappier, the boot was quicker and I checked About this Mac, it says 2GB. Apple System Profiler showed all 4 DIMM's and I thought everything was fine.
Computer ran great for hours, no issues. Everything seemed quicker. Computer went to sleep overnight, next day woke from sleep and Tried to use iTunes and during an extensive sort for Songs, the system Locked up. Nothing would work. Had to force restart. this time I tried to Run my favorite online Game, WoW and after it loaded and I started to play, within 5 mins the whole game locked up. The audio sound went into a sort of Loop, I couldnt force quit and had to force reboot. This happened several times. I finally decided to Run the Apple Hardware Test. The Quick test locked up after running 2mins. I let it sit for 1hr just in case it was still doing something and the progress bar and time never progressed. So i forced reboot, ran Test again this time as Extended test. at 8 min & 31 sec the test stopped and I got an Error Code, this time I wrote it down "2MEM/2/4: DIMM3/J20."
I guess that DIMM failed. I shutdown, popped open case, and removed DIMM3/J20 leaving the Original 1GB RAM and One of the 512MB Upgrades. I rstarted the Test again and Ran the Extended Test once more. It ran for 27mins & 24 secs and everything passed. So. 1.5GB is better than just 1GB. I powered down and powered back up to try and play WoW. Within 5 mins of loading game to play, everything locked up again.
So I took both of the new RAM out and left the Original 1GB RAM and ran Test everything was great no Errors. Rebooted, and went onto WoW again and was able to play for several hours. I quit game and shut down for night.
I have since Tried the 2x 512MB DIMM's in over 10 different variations in the computer with and without the original RAM and everytime I run a high end program or game (WoW, iTunes, and Photoshop), I get lock ups, crashes, and other screen weirdness.
I dont want to have to Return the Memory again. I am already out over $15 from s/h with RMA's.
PLEASE Any ideas what to do?
1 thing I noticed the RAM gets very very hot, when I've powered down tand removed the new RAM. I wonder if there is a cooling issue?
Anytime I put the Original 1GB RAM in, I dont have problems!

Hi lz3broc,
Sounds very much like faulty RAM to me, I'm afraid. I'm not sure about the temperature it's running at, but if the surrounding DIMMs aren't having a problem then I would definitely point the finger at those new memory sticks not being up to scratch.
If you were convinced it was temperature related then you could always try putting heat spreaders on the memory to help with cooling, but as these stick (semi-permanently) to the RAM then you would never be able to return them.
My personal opinion is that you should send the RAM back and buy two new DIMMs from Crucial Technology. I only ever buy RAM made by them and I've never had a problem with it - it's the same stuff Apple themselves generally use and works a charm every time. Probably not the news you wanted to hear, but that's probably the only way you're going to get a stable machine with 2GB RAM.
Hope that helps,
Andy.

Problems with text in iWeb publishing much larger, or smaller than in iWeb (it is insane)!

More than a year ago I had a problem with my iWeb not publishing correctly: links to other websites would not open in a separate window as designed in iWeb. I got help from an AppleCare techie and after he did a lot of tests, he concluded I had a corrupted Domain file (which became apparent after I upgraded to OS Snow Leopard). I don't remember if I discussed with this techie another problem I had been having for as long as I had used iWeb, and that was "exploding" text: certain words, often italicized, would be huge, after publishing, relative to the surrounding text. Sometimes certain words, or sentences would be smaller than designed in iWeb. Through trial and error I would sort of solve these problems by enlarging text boxes, or making the offending word or phrase one text point smaller. Sometimes deleting the text box entirely, and starting over would work. And then there are the weird things that happen when my wife opens my website in Internet Explorer: things that make no sense and seem to be totally out of my control.
So, I've spent a long time rebuilding my website in this supposedly uncorrupted Domain file, and today I finally finished and published to my hard drive, checked it out, and the "exploding" text is there with a vengeance. So much so that I may just stick with my original ("corrupted") Domain file, the text problem on this new one seems even worse than the old one. Anyone had this problem? I meant to ask this question years ago, but got a bit lazy.
Another question is: I've heard Apple is going to discontinue iWeb. Despite my problems with the program, I rely on it. What are the options going to be for iWeb users?

Well you heard wrong didn't you!
Apple is discontinuing MobileMe, which is the hosting in favour of iCloud services which will not contain any hosting.
iWeb is an app and as far as we know you can still continue to use it - it will still work so carry on using it if you are happy with it.
If you want to look at other alternatives to iWeb, then others suggest RapidWeaver and Sandvox as being closer to iWeb - both are available via the Mac App store.
Also Freeway Express and Flux 3 are worth looking at - more design freedom and you are not restricted to templates as with RapidWeaver.

I can get itunes to start if I disable Bonjour or if I "repair" it first. Sometimes I can repair Bonjour though add/remove programs, sometimes it will only "repair" using WinRar. Sometimes I have to "repair" Bonjour 2 or 3 times to get iTunes to start.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling at least a dozen times. I have tried redownloading iTunes at least 5 times and from different links. This leads me to believe that the dnssd.dll file is not itself corrupt, but this newest version is causing a conflict with XP somewhere somehow.
Team, iTunes 10.2.2.12 has just been released. I installed it and checked, and BonJour's been updated to version 2.0.5.0, and there's a new 2.0.5.0 version of dnssd.dll on my system. So I reckon it's worth a try updating to that to see if it's of any help with your trouble.

Problem with microphone, Audigy 2, and a Dell (not the same problem as the 8 million other topi

Hello,?I recently reformatted my hard dri've and had to reinstall drivers for nearly everything, etc. I have a Dell Dimension 4600, and an Audigy 2 sound card. My microphone worked fine before the reformat and then it was broken. Its not that it wasn't picking up my voice (I have read that the typical problem with Dell computers and microphones was that you had to almost scream into the microphone to get it to hear anything). When I tried to record something, it would record what was coming out of my speakers, and not what I was saying (no matter how hard I yelled). So, when I was playing Counterstrike, everybody heard my gun shooting and grenades exploding etc. instead of my voice (which was what was coming out of my headphones). So I downloaded the ISO available here and through some complicated, random process of uninstalling and reinstalling the various sound drivers I found on the internet, I managed to get my microphone to work perfectly. I changed some settings before I went to bed on Sunday night, and when I tried to use my microphone on Monday it didn't work again (and I had the same problem as before).
So I reformatted again and am trying to figure out what order I installed and uninstalled etc.
So my question is, has anyone else has this specific problem (when attempting to record it records what comes out of the speakers/headphones and not what is being said into the microphone) and remembers how to fix it's? What I did was really bizarre, something like downloading Dell drivers, installing them, uninstalling them, downloading Creative drivers, installing them, installing Dell drivers on top of them, uninstalling both, downloading the ISO, reinstall the Creative drivers, install the files from the ISO, or something like that. Obviously that includes a lot more steps than are needed and because part 3 of the ISO is currently down (I don't have a CD burner so had to redownload the whole thing (I just used a CD emulator last time)) I can't work on it right now :/

Hello,I recently reformatted my hard dri've and had to reinstall drivers for nearly everything, etc. I have a Dell Dimension 4600, and an Audigy 2 sound card. My microphone worked fine before the reformat and then it was broken. Its not that it wasn't picking up my voice (I have read that the typical problem with Dell computers and microphones was that you had to almost scream into the microphone to get it to hear anything). When I tried to record something, it would record what was coming out of my speakers, and not what I was saying (no matter how hard I yelled). So, when I was playing Counterstrike, everybody heard my gun shooting and grenades exploding etc. instead of my voice (which was what was coming out of my headphones).So I downloaded the ISO available here and through some complicated, random process of uninstalling and reinstalling the various sound drivers I found on the internet, I managed to get my microphone to work perfectly. I changed some settings before I went to bed on Sunday night, and when I tried to use my microphone on Monday it didn't work again (and I had the same problem as before). So I reformatted again and am trying to figure out what order I installed and uninstalled etc.So my question is, has anyone else has this specific problem (when attempting to record it records what comes out of the speakers/headphones and not what is being said into the microphone) and remembers how to fix it's What I did was really bizarre, something like downloading Dell drivers, installing them, uninstalling them, downloading Creative drivers, installing them, installing Dell drivers on top of them, uninstalling both, downloading the ISO, reinstall the Creative drivers, install the files from the ISO, or something like that.

Actually, it's not a problem but a setting. On surround mixer .rec source setting --> when you set it to What U Hear everything you hear becomes recorded --> for microphone recording set it to microphone (also set "monitoring while recording" on/off).

Problem with jquery slide show conflict with vertical navigation menu in Firefox & Chrome

Problem with jquery slide show conflict with vertical navigation menu in Firefox & Chrome. Works in IE. This is my first time trying to post a question - so please be kind. I am also not good with code and am finding css a real challenge after learning to design based on tables. I'm using CS5.
The "test" page with the slide show is: http://www.reardanwa.com/index-slides.html   The same page without the slide show is http://www.reardanwa.com/
I realize the images are not ideally sized - I'll fix those once I get the pages to function. Maybe I need a different slide show? I would prefer a widget that I can modify to required size & postition. Again - I'm not good at building with code from scratch.
The problem is the naviagation links that are directly next to the slide show do not work in Firefox of Chrome. They do work in IE.
I've read about using jQuery.noConflict(); code but can't figure out the correct way to use it in my case or whether that's even part of the solution. I know my code is not well organized as I have cobbled together from various sources in an attempt to format the page the way the client wants it. Also, FYI, I will eventually try to make the page work in Surreal CMS.
I've spent sevaral days over the last several weeks trying to solve sth slide show/navigation conflict - so any specific light you can shed will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Problem with refcursor in 11g

Hello,
I have a problem with refcursor in a project migrated from 10 to 11g.
I found this thread from a few years ago that talks about the same problem.
It has no final answer - is it ok to comment the st.close(); in callStoredFunction in the AMImpl.
Re: TP4 - View Object with REF CURSOR - SQLException
Please tell me if the suggested solution on that thread is fine, or ot will cause many unclosed statetements?
Thank you, Nina

Hello All,
I got the solution to the problem.
I was trying to surround the region component using the Structure pane. But instead drag and drop the strechable components on to the region.
Ex: Region got expanded 100% if I surround it with PanelStrechLayout with width and height set to 100%. But I didnit find this Panel StrechLayout when I try to surround it using Structure Pane.
Refer to this: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/adf/patterns/layoutBestPractices.html
Thanks,
Melissa.

Tty display problems with nvidia and uvesafb

I'm trying to get my console to display correctly at 1080p; trying to do so through GRUB was always an absolute nightmare.
The console displays fine with nouveau, but nouveau causes the infamous pink line bug, which is simply too irritating to ignore; nouveau is not an option.
In the past, my console has run at low res and incorrect scale with nvidia, but I've ignored the problem since I prefer to use a virtual terminal in X.
Now, if possible, I need to use the actual console for the purposes of module development.
I installed v86d and uvesafb and configured the console for 1920x1080 and 32 bit depth.
The console is displaying with the correct resolution now, but is surrounded by a black border, making the font distorted and extremely difficult to read.
How can I get my console to scale correctly to fullscreen? Any ideas at all. I found nothing in the forums or wiki, and I'm out.
I'm fairly certain there are no vga or video settings in GRUB that are interfering.

Also, it might help to describe the behaviour more specifically / more in depth...
The rendered part of the console occupies the same space as the GRUB boot menu.
I installed and configured virtualbox a few weeks previously.
I ran "sudo depmod -a" as the wiki / forums indicated it could remedy problems with virtual machines failing to start.
It did fix the virtualbox problem; after reboot, suddenly lightdm *also* initally occupied the same window space as grub.
That was new behaviour. When I logged in to xmonad, the desktop displayed similarly to GRUB.
I hadn't tried fixing it; logging in with root followed by "ps -e | grep X" and "kill -9 <Xpid>" caused X as a whole to start behaving and scaling normally.
I haven't rebooted until attempting to rectify the issue with my console.
The oddity with scaling in lightdm and xmonad still shows up after reboot and is still reparable by killing X.
Killing X doesn't - obviously - have any effect on console scale.
